Be Mine

Life Continues

Zoro feels something binding his wrist, he slowly opens his eye and looks around. Frantically he looks around the room. He's back in Luka's room. Zoro looks up to see his wrists bonded to the bed. He tries to free himself but it's no use. He looks down to see himself naked and his legs bound to the bed, legs opened wide. He started to pull his arms forward trying to set himself free but it's no use. A figure appears at the end of the bed, blurry at first then slowly it clears. Luka stood there staring at him smiling, that stupid smile of his sent shivers down Zoro's spine and he did not like it. Luka got closer as Zoro started to struggle to free himself.

Sanji opened his eye to Zoro's face sleeping soundly. He slowly sits up, Zoro's arms slides down his bare chest onto his lap. Sanji looks to the night stand to see his pocket watch, a half empty pack of cigarettes and a lighter. He grabs the pack of cigarettes and takes one out putting it in his mouth. After lighting it up he takes a deep inhale then exhales. It has been so long since he smoked a cigarette, ironically it was like taking a breath of fresh air. He looks over at Zoro who starts to frown in his sleep. Sanji puffed some smoke out then he felt something pinch him. He look down to Zoros hand gripping onto Sanji. "Oww ow ow!" Sanji exclaimed as Zoro's nails dug into his skin. Sanji tried to pry Zoro's hand off of him, but no use, he has a strong grip. He turns to Zoro where he noticed the man hyperventilating. "Zoro wake up!" Sanji shouted as he shook the sleeping swordsman.

'This can't be happening. I was just with Sanji' Zoro thought to himself. After a few shakes his eye opens and he quickly gets up. He and Sanji stare at each other for a moment before Zoro looks around the room. This isn't his room. The events that happened the evening before replay in his mind. He sigh in relief as he look down at the bed.

"Are you ok?" Sanji ask getting the attention of the swordsman. He looks up at the cook.

"Yeah just a nightmare." He said with a half-assed smile. Sanji pulls him into a hug, one hand on his back and the other on his nape. Sanji kissed the marimo's forehead.

"Don't worry I'm here." Sanji says scowling. The damn pervert is still haunting Zoro after all this time. Feeling Sanji's warmth calm Zoro down, the fear, the uncertainty, the hurt all seem to disappear.

"I know," Zoro says softly. The couple stayed in that position for minutes before they heard what sounded like Luffy complaining but that couldn't be right. The hotel they stayed at is surrounded by other hotels, the others shouldn't be around them. 

"Why don't we take a shower?" Sanji suggest. Sanji and Zoro move off the bed and into the bathroom immediately jumping into the shower not having to undress themselves for they did that last night.

The bathroom in the hotel they are at has two shower heads, good for two people to shower at the same time. Sanji, who is washing his body, turns his head to steal a glance at Zoro who is washing his hair. He stares at the bandages around Zoro's arm. He can't believe Zoro did that to himself but he saw the face Zoro made as he scrubbed himself. He really wanted the bite marks to vanish. 

They both finished washing up and put on the clothes they had on the day before. Zoro zips his jacket up as Sanji grabs his pocket watch and packet of cigarettes putting it in his pocket. He then grabs the lighter, he stares at it intensely then flips it upside down to see the S.V engraved on the bottom. He then looks over at Zoro, who is tying his shoes. Then he looks down at his own feet, at the shoes that Zoro had bought him. For some reason Zoro hasn't noticed that he's been using the things Zoro got him, everything from the box has been used and is still being used. The spices, the ties, the book of recipes, the set of kitchen knives and obviously the shoes and lighter he got.

He started to think about what he's gotten for Zoro. At first nothing but heartache. Then things got a little better but nothing. "Are you done?" Zoro asks standing next to Sanji. Sanji looks up and faces Zoro.
