Here's the second update for today! Enjoy <3

Sanji's P.O.V.

~Two days later...~

It's Sunday and tonight we're throwing a party again after so long. I'm glad that the problems are over.

I'm sitting on the couch drinking coffee with Sabo. We talked for a bit and then Zoro appeared.

"Mmm mornin" He yawned and sat next to me on the couch. He was shirtless and his short green hair looked a bit messy but he's still so fucking sexy...

"Wow what happened? You don't wake up before 02:00 p.m. at Sundays" Sabo mocked him.

"I don't know I guess I slept early yesterday" He said.

"Well it's 11:43 now so...it's pretty early for you" I told him and he shrugged. He looks a bit off.

"Oh Ace told me to wake him up a quarter before 12 so I guess I'm going...I'll be back in a while" Sabo said and dismissed himself from the living room.

Is he doing it on purpose? Because he's doing a great job at leaving two awkward people alone...

He stayed silent. He looks a bit off and I'm wondering why.

"Want a beer?" I broke the silence.

"No..." He just said.

"Is everything alright?" I asked in concern but the atmosphere is still awkward.

"Uhh...yeah...thanks..." He said looking into my eyes.

It's been quite long since the last time we fought. We've never opened a normal conversation and I hate this.

We haven't really talked since the day when he was begging me to hit him...It's almost been two months since that day, yet I remember it like it was yesterday...

I don't really think he's ok...

He doesn't even want a beer and that makes me even more worried.

"Seems unlikely" I said and he turned his gaze on me.

I can't stand it when his eyes are connected to mine.

These fucking beautiful emerald pearls...who did he take that unique colour after?

"What?" He asked.

"That you're alright"

"Why do you care anyway?" He asked me but his tone was surprisingly not rude.

"I guess I'll stop if you don't like it" I said shrugging, giving him the effect that I don't care but the truth is that I care more than he could ever imagine...

He sighed.

"I don't mind...I just...don't want to talk about it" He told me.

"Oh...I understand" I said and turned my eyes on the TV.

We stayed in silence until he decided to break it.

"Sanji..." He called my name quietly and his voice sent shivers down my spine.

Damn when he calls my name...

I turned to him.

"Yeah?"

"Are you...still mad at me for what I did?" He asked and I froze.

"No...of course not..." I assured him. His features softened.

I could see his hidden feature again.

Pain...

It was there...

"Thank you" He said and I felt it like it wasn't just a thank you...It was from his heart...

And then the unexpected happened...

He reached my side with his hand and hugged me, burrying his face into my neck.

My eyes were about to pop out of my face. He was literally pulling me on him even more and I thought that our bodies would become one. I couldn't make a single move from the shock that I was into.

This is not happening...no way...not in a million...somebody slap me...

This is too perfect to be real...

Yet it's real...

I hesitantly put my arms around his neck. I caressed his hair as he rubbed my back. He was holding me so tight like I was something sensitive. He gripped my shirt with one hand and the back of my head with the other. I could feel his hot breath running on my skin and my heartbeats were faster than ever.

It's him...I'm holding him...

He suddenly made one move and let go of me, looking at me with wide eyes.

"S-Sorry...I took it too far..." He said and before I could form a single word, he rushed upstairs leaving me alone.

What the hell was that?

Zoro's P.O.V.

I didn't see what I was doing, until I realized that Sanji was in my arms.

I couldn't explain why did I do that but he responded to that move.

I was ashamed to the point where I couldn't face him anymore and the only thing I did was apologize and leave...

The truth is, something happened. That's the reason why I was, and still am, upset and why I got up early from the bed.

I had the most psychotic nightmare..

I saw that we were back at Doflamingo's house, trying to save Luffy. Only that this time, when Sanji kicked Trebol to save me, Doflamingo woke up and shot him five times on his back.

I reached to grab him and he fell in my arms...

"I'll never...forgive you..." Were his last words as he left his last breath on my arms.

"No...Sanji...This can't be..."

"Sanji..."

"SANJIIIIIIIIII!!" I cried out, my lungs about to explode.

I then woke up...

It was just a dream...

He is okay...and he has forgiven me...

Sabo's P.O.V.

~Meanwhile...~

I left the living room to wake Ace up. I entered our bedroom and he was sleeping on my bed. He asked me to sleep on my bed and I let him. I gently sat on the bed next to him and watched his sleeping form. He was laying on his stomach and his hands were under my pillow. He complained that I was bad at waking him up so I want to be good today.

I gently reached his hair and removed the black strands that were falling on his face.

"Ace..." I shook him gently. No response.

Ahh I must be patient. Ok let's try again. Hmm I think I'm gonna do something else than just calling him.

I put my hands on his naked back and started rubbing it gently. I then caressed it with my nails and my fingertips. I saw goosebumps forming on his back and his arms.

I then remembered that he is ticklish.

Gooood.

I brought my hands on his sides and started teasing them. He probably felt it because he furrowed his eyebrows and started moving, trying to stop me. Nope I'm not going down that easily. I leaned down and brought my mouth on his ear.

"Ace...wake up..." I said with the most gentle voice I even could. I saw goosebumbs forming on his shoulders and arms again. Why does he shiver everytime I touch him? i guess it's just the places where I touch cause they're sensitive. I would have shivered too if I were him.

"Mmm...Sabo..." He called my name slowly with that raspy voice of his.

I was still leaning on his ear.

"Goodmorning" I whispered in his ear.

I saw my camera laying on the dresser and I got an idea.

I grabbed it and started filming Ace while he is asleep.

"Aceee I'm filming youuu" I said chuckling.

"Mmm stahp" He said and stirred in his position, opening one eye and looking at the camera.

"Not until you get up" I said.

"Ugh fine I'm up just close it already" He said as he tried to stand up. He sat up to my height and stretched himself.

"Mornin" He said rubbing his face.

"Morning sleepy potato" I chuckled as he glared at me. "Let's get downstairs" I said and he nodded.

Luffy's P.O.V.

I woke up and went downstairs to find Sanji sitting on the couch alone. I took a seat next to him. He looked much more pale than he already did and that made me a bit confused.

"Goodmorning Sanji" I greeted him.

"Hey...how did you sleep?" He asked me.

"Um just like always...are you alright?" I asked him. He avoided my gaze. He was focused on picking his nails.

"Uh...yeah I'm fine" He turned his eyes on me and smiled.

"Ooookay..." I just muttered. I'll just pretend to believe that...

After two minutes, Ace and Sabo came downstairs. Law is currently at work. Me and Ace had breakfast in the kitchen and Zoro soon accompanied us. Sanji and Sabo were in the living room.

A few hours went by and now we are all sitting in the living room talking. Law came back from his work and he's sitting next to me right now. I'm quite frustrated every time he's near me.

As we were in the middle of a great conversation about meat, the doorbell rang.

"Are we waiting for someone?" Law asked and we all said no.

I stood up to open the door and I was greeted by one of our best friends.

"Shanks! Hey how's it going?" I asked and my face brightened as I saw him. I had that big stupid smile on my face.

"Heeeeyyy Luffy I'm great!" He said smiling.

"Come in and sit with us!" I said cheerily. I grabbed his jacket and hung it on the hanger.

Everyone greeted Shanks and he sat on the couch next to Sabo and Zoro.
Sanji made him coffee and sat down.

"So how are you man? You rarely visit at noon" Ace asked.

"Well that's true pals but I came here to announce you the big news guys!" He said and I could clearly see the happiness on his face.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"I'm getting married to Makino next month and I want you all to be my best men!" He said and we were all left speechless.

"What? Are you serious?!" Sabo asked in disbelief.

"Yes I am! I couldn't ask for someone better than you guys" He told us.

"So when is the wedding?" Sanji asked.

"Saturday November 11th so it's in like 15 days" He told us.

It's in Zoro's birthday. Nobody noticed? Does Sanji know? Does Shanks know?

"Tomorrow I'll come to pick you up at 7 to chose your suits gentlemen" He said smiling and we all agreed.

"Can't wait!" I said cheerily.

We all talked about the wedding and after a while Shanks left.

I'm happy that they're finally getting married. They've been dating for like 7 years...

I decided to go for a walk with Sanji and Ace...
