The Words I Love You

School

Nami and the other's walked off campus getting ready to head home. They walked past Sengoku telling the media what really happened. No names were said, and he didn't go into too much detail just that a student had gotten rapped with video evidence, that's why some students were being arrested. The same student was then bullied and a video was made and released showing that the student didn't deserve to be so student's started fighting each other mad about what they had done. Sengoku answered the questions with honesty, he didn't lie. It may not have been entirely his fault but as the head master it didn't look good. How could something like this happen under his nose? They started asking what happened to the students who were bullying, he answered that they were properly punished. Not only is bully frowned upon at the school is was also punishable by law.

Nami and the other's walked slowly. She had wanted to talk to Sanji after school but he didn't go to his club, he bolted as soon as school ended. With almost most of the school either off to the hospital to get their bruises taken care of from fights, or being punished for bullying, after school clubs are postponed. So they had free time but Sanji was in a hurry. Nami had told the others that they really needed to talk to Sanji if they wanted to talk to Zoro.

She was asked why.

She had seen Sanji talking to Bonney, one of Zoro's older sister in the hallway at school when they were arresting some of the students. They seemed very chumming with each other. Like they've been friends for years. They knew that couldn't be the case. So the only other conclusion was because he's been with Zoro, hanging out by their guess. They also saw his reaction while watching the video. They were all there eating at the cafeteria when it happened. They watched as he happily texted someone and he almost choked on his food.

Another thing they had learned was that when they saw Zoro get attack it wasn't the first and only time. It was the third time out of four, when they saw. Zoro had beaten up the people the first two times but then got sloppy the third and fourth. Someone saving Zoro the fourth time but they were a little too late. They didn't know who it was, they didn't get that info just that Zoro was saved. Most likely a stranger who wanted to help a kid from getting rapped.

They needed to discuss if they were ready to talk to Sanji, even if it is just about asking for help in talking to Zoro.

***

Sanji didn't think that there was a video showing everyone why he did what they did, and making everyone feel guilty. He knew it was wrong but he was glad to see them suffer a little. Especially when Smoker, Bonney and Perona came and started slapping cuffs on people. He recognize four of them as Zoro's rappers. Having kicked their ass the night previous. He had also talked to Bonney.

She had worked with Smoker the whole night trying to find who did it. Even learning that they were paid to do it. Also thanks to a video they received last night they found who Zoro's rappers were the first time.

After school he ran to go to Zoro but forgot that he had told Zeff that he'll be there for work. So when he got home he changed and texted Zoro. I forgot to tell you but I wont see you tonight, I'm helping the old geezer. Are you going to work? He didn't have to wait long.

No. I called in saying that I couldn't make it. Bonney handled the proof part so I wouldn't get fired. I wont be working for a while. Sanji sighs. That's good.

Well rest up. Oh and don't read to much manga. I'm planning to help you with the work you haven't been doing.

You're going to help me? With all the pages?

Yes. I helped you before didn't I?

Yes but didn't think you would want to help with so much work.

Well I do. Think of it as an excuse on my part so I can hang out with you. I'm still nervous on telling Zeff and don't know how to bring it up. I don't have the courage to do it. Well I've got to go. Talk to you after work. Sanji sends. He sets his phone down, putting it in his pocket to get to cooking. He hopes Zoro doesn't take it the wrong way. It's not that he doesn't want to but he's just never thought he'd have to tell Zeff anything about his sexual orientation. He just never thought that this would happen but it has and he doesn't want to change that. He'll need to talk to Zoro about it. Give them time to be together before telling his father anything. They won't need to hide their relationship. Sanji fully intends to show others that he and Zoro are together but they'll be strangers. Not anyone he knows that knows him back. He has a lot to talk to Zoro about. They won't need to keep it a secret, they just won't be in front of Zeff before Sanji decides to finally tells him.

Sanji had gone out to smoke only to realize he didn't have his cigarettes. He goes back in to the kitchen and gets his phone, he had taken it out of his pocket because it was a little heavy and disturbing him as he cooked so he took it out and set it down. Hey, I'm still at work but I just wanted to check if I left my cigarettes over there? Sanji smiled when he saw the three dots meaning Zoro ways typing something.

Yeah you did. Do you want them now? Sanji's smile grew. How considerate.

No. I just wanted to know where they were. Plus you would get lost and wouldn't get them to me in less than an hour.

So can, but the street move so it's hard. Not my fault, and it'd take longer with how much my ass hurts right now. Sanji chuckles.

Sure marimo. I'll pick them up when I can. Don't know when that is but I will. To see you too.

Idiot! Get to work. Zoro texted. Sanji let out a laugh. Right now Zoro most likely has a massive blush on his face. Like his lover said Sanji got back to work but didn't see the looks he got from the older cooks of the kitchen, or Zeff. 

This was fun, Sanji really liked it. He's never really teases his past girlfriends. Just sent them texts of praise and meeting places for dates. He likes this. It's a good different.
