Be Mine

Ease

With the help of Sanji Zoro overcame his panic attacks, Chopper help too. The others asked Sanji what if it was something specific. Sanji didn't tell them the whole truth, he just said that Zoro was tied up in a cell while Luka tortured him. Chopper got a hint at what Sanji really meant having seen the bite marks on his arm.

With the window open to let the crows nest air out. Zoro sat down on the floor looking out the window at the sky. He reached forward to touch his toes, stretching like Chopper told him to. Luffy and Sanji put the dumbbells away for Zoro and he hasn't touched them since. Zoro reaches for his left foot as he enjoys the silence, the sound of the waves, the sound of the wind. He becomes engrossed in stretching that he doesn't notice someone else entering the crows nest. He feels a hand on his shoulder shocking him into bolting forward and turning around to see who it is. 

It's Sanji, Zoro sighs in relief. "What were you so deep in thought for?"

"Just thinking about the book Chopper gave me." Zoro says standing up. They both walk to the couch to sit down.

"The one you've been reading?"

"Yeah."

"What's it about?"

"It's a book about omegas and alphas."

"Well what about the book got you thinking?"

"I'm on the part about mating." Zoro pauses and lays down on the couch. "During my heat, if I had let Luka bite me.." Zoro moves his arms to cover his eyes.

"Come on don't think about that." Sanji reaches over to Zoro's hand then pulls him up. "We told you to stop thinking about him." Sanji pulls Zoro in for a peck on the lips. "Come here." Sanji says pulling Zoro, moving him so he now sat on top of the cook. "Listen Zoro, you belong to me, and the crew but mostly me." Sanji says.

"There you go again. What about the triplets?" Zoro says looking down at Sanji.

"Well of course you belong to them too, that's a given since you gave birth to them but for the most part you belong to me." Sanji says kissing Zoro's skin. He could feel Zoro's body temperature rising. Zoro sighs looking at the man. He lifts Sanji's head surprising the man. They look deep in each other's eyes.

"I belong to you as much as you belong to me." Zoro says as their faces get closer to each other.

"Fine by me." Sanji says without thinking. They happily kiss each other but then they stop, if they kissed any more they'd get hornier and it was still daytime. They settled on hugging each other closely. Sanji could feel Zoro breathing evenly but his heartbeat is beating fast. Sanji smiles as he glance over at the green hair of Zoro, then he tilts his head rubbing their heads together. "How are you Zoro?" Sanji asks.

"Good. You being here puts me at ease." Zoro says with his eyes closed rubbing his head close to Sanji like a cat. Sanji smiles liking what Zoro said. They stayed like that in silence for a while. Both wanting to stay like that but alas it is not meant to be.

"I can see the island!!" They hear luffy yelling, they pull apart looking out the window. Zoro gets off the couch and gets his shirt, putting it on. Sanji watches as he puts his shirt on. Zoro turns his head to see the cook staring at him.

"What?" Zoro asks with a smile.

"Nothing. Just, I'm really happy." Sanji says smiling.

"Me too." Zoro says still smiling. Sanji gets off the couch and follows Zoro to the deck. The crew all gathered around the helm. Franky and Brook carry the triplets as they all stare at the island in the distance. 

"It looks fun." Chopper says.

"Let's get ready." Luffy says running away with Usopp behind him. Zoro looks over to Franky and Brook notices the triplets heads bobbing around and their eyelids closing and opening. Zoro walks up to them and grabs the triplets.

"What are you going to do Zoro?" They look at him as he take the triplets carefully.

"Nothing. I'm staying here to put the triplets to sleep." Zoro walks away. Sanji takes his pocket watch out and looks a the time. It's a little past their nap time. Sanji follows after Zoro to help him put the triplets to bed. Zoro and Sanji stood over the cribs watching the triplets sleep, making sure they are deep asleep.

"I'm going to go shopping do you need anything?" Sanji asks not looking away from the triplets. Watching them sleep is interesting because they do the weirdest and cutest things like one time Touma started laughing in his sleep, Sora was kicking in his sleep and Kuina started making funny faces. Zoro thought real hard about what the triplets will need.

"I think we need more formula."

"Alright I'll check." Sanji says kissing Zoro on his head before leaving. Zoro sat there watching the triplets sleeping and couldn't help but think about what's to come. After this island there are only two more islands to go, and it's been great that there are no marines on this route, everyone has been enjoying themselves but it's not going to last forever. He needs to get over whatever is bothering him. He needs to start training again, he needs to do more than those push ups he does and stretches that Chopper told him to do. He has do start doing his weight training again but he can't do that if he's too afraid to touch the weights.

He had to think of a way to get over it quickly. 

Why does the cold steal of the weights remind him of the cell? It should be more than that, he should be remembering the days they first got Going Merry, the day they got Thousand Sunny, the time Brook joined as a crew member and the day he started to train again after giving birth to the triplets. Zoro had wanted to be alone but no one had time to take care of the triplets and they didn't trust Luffy yet. The triplets were very friendly that day and wanted to play. Zoro started to train but the triplets wanted to play so he joined them. Since no one else was there he didn't need to hold back, no one was there to make him feel embarrassed which they have been doing before. He ended up playing with them all through his training time. Zoro opens his eyes to see the triplets awake. He must have fallen asleep as he was thinking. But he woke up happy dreaming about the good things. He actually felt better.
