Law's P.O.V.

I suddenly heard a door shutting so loud that caused me to wake up and worry. Luffy who slept with me today and is now laying on me didn't get affected by the noise. It sounded very close to my bedroom. I had to wake Luffy up.

"Hey...Luffy..." I shook him gently and he stirred in his position.

"Mmm what happened?" He asked with a sleepy raspy voice.

"I heard a noise, I think it's Sanji..." I said and he lifted his upper body from my torso.

We got up and approached Sanji's bedroom. I feel that the only door that could shut so loudly would be this one since the bathroom door is open.

We walked to his bedroom and I could hear soft sobs from inside.

I knocked the door quietly.

"I'm sorry Zoro...I can't let you see me like this..." He said from inside.

Zoro?

I think I now get what happened...

"It's us..." I said.

"Sanji are you alright?" Luffy asked in worry.

"Law? Luffy?" He called our names.

The door slightly opened and I was almost shocked with the sight of his face. His ocean eyes had become a black color and they were red from crying. His cheeks looked like they were cut from the tears and he was wet from head to toe...

"Oh my God what happened?" I asked.

"Sanji..." Luffy tried to speak but he was as shocked as I am.

"You shouldn't be seeing me like this...I look pathetic..." He said and burried his face in his hands.

We stepped inside and Luffy closed the door behind us. We sat on the bed and Sanji explained to us what happened. When he finished, we were...I wouldn't say shocked but...surprised? Or...happy that they kissed? I don't know...

"I don't get it...sorry to say this but it doesn't make much sense..." I said.

"What?" Sanji asked.

"You've wanted Zoro for so long and now that he finally made a move you tell him that it's wrong...that makes zero sense to me..." I said trying to make him understand.

"He's right Sanji...why did you do that?" Luffy asked.

"Look guys...it's not that I didn't want or like it. You know very well that I wanted it as well but...It's just the fact that I don't trust him...not after everything that has happened..." He said and I can tell that he's honest.

"You still can't trust him after that bet?" Luffy asked and he nodded.

"It's not easy...I need some time off of everything...I have to think and make my decisions..." He told us.

"And what are you going to do?" I asked Sanji.

"I'm gonna go back to my old man's house for a few days to get away from everything and settle my mind" He told us.

"If this will make you feel better then you should go" I encouraged him.

"Thank you...I'm leaving tomorrow. My grandfather lives about an hour driving from here...so it's quite far" He told us.

"How long are you going to stay?" Luffy asked him.

"I don't know maybe 3-4 days" He answered.

"Ok then I hope you make up your mind and relax" Luffy smiled and I did the same.

"Thank you guys" He said and gave us a small smile "I'm going to take a bath now because I'm wet and all so...I'll probably see you in the morning before I leave" He said.

"Ok then goodnight" I said stood up from the bed.

"Goodnight Sanji" Luffy said.

"Goodnight guys thanks again...oh and...Tell the others if I won't see them in the morning" He told us.

"Sure thing" I answered and we exited his bedroom.

We went back at my room and laid on my bed. Luffy laid on my chest and I caressed his small back.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" I asked, ready for his answer.

"Uuuh depends...if you're thinking about meat then yes" He said and I cringed but chuckled.

"No dummy. I think that Zoro must go to Zeff's house and find Sanji. Then, they're gonna get laid and woohoo happy ever after" I said and he lifted his head up to see me.

"I love that you're a genius" He said smiling and kissed me.

We made out for a while but then I remembered an idea I've had for a while.

"I think we should go hiking" I told him.

"Eh? Hiking?" Luffy asked in confusion while scanning my face.

"Yeah, it's snowing in the mountain Corobo so it will be quite nice to walk at the area" I informed him.

"Sounds interesting! Shall we go tomorrow?" He asked.

"Yup. But grab your warmest coat, it's gonna be very cold at the mountain and I don't want you to catch a cold" I said caressing his cheek.

"As long as I'm with you, no cold can catch me" He said and fondled my hair.

I stared inside his amazing chocolate orbs and kissed him passionately. I shoved my tongue in his mouth and found his own. I grinded them together and the sensation became heated. We pulled away after a while of making out and I caressed his cheek with my thumb. I smiled just by watching him.

"I love you..." I whispered at him.

"I love you" He said at the same tone and kissed me again.

He then laid on my chest and closed his eyes. I turned off the nightstand lamp. I caressed his soft hair until sleep ovetook my body.

Zoro's P.O.V.

He left me stranded in the rain. I couldn't process the situation for a while...

I burried my face in my hands and kneeled down on the ground...

I don't care about the rain...

All I care about is him...

He kissed me...I kissed him...

I've never felt something more perfect in my life than that...

But it ended...I should have known...

He left...

I decided that sitting on my knees will not help at all, so I stood up and went back inside.

The water was dripping all over my body, wetting the floor and leaving a small river behind me as I climbed both staircases to get into the bathroom. When I climbed the first stairs, I glanced at Sanji's bedroom and sighed. I then kept going.

I immediately undressed and stepped inside the bathtub after filling it with hot water. I sat down and threw my head back, leaning against the back of the tub.

I closed my eyes and let my thoughts flood my mind...

Everything was pitch black, his form being the only thing that was visible...

"Sanji..."

"Hey, can you hear me?"

"Sanji...please turn around...I want to see your face..."

I pleaded him to hear me but no response...

"Sanji..."

A tear streamed down my face and landed on the black floor. It somehow got lost...

Lost...I always get lost...even when I want to decide things...It's killing me...

"Please...answer me..."

He finally turned around...His face was bruised...red...his eyes swollen as the tears had scratched the skin around them, making hard lines appear...I felt something break inside me...

"What do you want me to answer you, Zoro?"

His voice cracked...I wanted to die...

"Do...do you...love me?"

I asked with a hesitant voice...

It took him a while to answer. The longer he took to answer, the more anxious I became...

"No...I don't love you...you broke me...you're the reason I'm like that. I'm ashamed because of you...I don't want to see you in my life again..."

I felt my body shaking. These words were knives thrusting inside my body as the blood dripped all over the wounds on my whole body...

I ran...I ran towards him...I ran but I couldn't reach him...I ran...But he was still far away...

"No...please no...this can't happen..."

My tears became blood that streamed out of my eyes as he turned around again and started walking, his form slowly fading away in the darkness that surrounded us...

"Sanji...please...don't go..."

I screamed at the top of my lungs...

But nothing changed...

I kneeled down as I started ripping off my clothes in frustration...

"No..."

"Come back...Sanji..."

"COME BACK...."

"Zoro!"

"Zoro wake up!"

I felt someone slap my face, I slowly half opened my eyes but my vision was blurry...

"Zoro, can you hear me?" The voice became more recognizable. It's two people...two men...my mind still can't process the situation...

"Zoro, come on wake up" The other man said.

I fully opened my eyes and saw the two men that crawled over me.

It's Sabo and Ace...

I still couldn't form a word. I just stared at them.

"Zoro are you okay?" Sabo asked worried.

I didn't answer...

I moved my head and looked down. Water surrounded me and I realized I was still in the bathtub.

I slept in the bathtub? Jesus that's way too much.

But...thank God it was a dream...everything was just a nightmare...

I felt so relieved...until the events of the day flooded my mind again...

The kiss...

His kiss...

"Zoro can you answer for fucks sake?" Ace spat, looking at me angry and worried.

"Ugh..." I just mumbled.

"What happened?" Was all I asked.

"We heard you scream something like 'COME BACK SANJI' and that woke us up...we didn't really expect to find you in the bathroom though" Ace said.

I lifted my upper body a bit.

"I was screaming? Really?" I asked rubbing my face with my palms.

"Yeah...Sanji's name...what were you dreaming about?" Sabo asked.

They were looking at me, waiting to hear an answer.

That nightmare flashed before my eyes again...the darkness, the blood, the bruises, the answer...

...and Sanji...

I remember every detail of it...every single thing...

"I don't remember..." I lied.

"Are you sure?" Sabo asked, he had a curious look on his face as he raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah..." I kept my lie and stood up from the bathtub. My skin felt sucked and weird from absorbing being so much time in the water.

They did the same and I stepped out of the tub after unplugging the plug.

"Ehm...Zoro..." Ace coughed and looked up in guilt.

"What?" I simply asked.

"Put something on..." He said.

I looked down and yup I was naked. Of course I'd be naked I was in the fucking bathtub for an hour or so.

"Then get the fuck out" I barked and they left.

I dried myself and went to my bedroom. I changed and laid on my bed.

I looked a bit at the ceiling and my eyes started feeling heavy...

Sleep overtook my body, with Sanji being the only thing in my mind...

· · ·In the Morning· · ·

Monday morning came and the sun irritated my eyes, causing me to wake up. I stretched myself and yawned before getting out of bed.

"Uhh..." I just sighed and rubbed my eyes.

I opened my phone and saw that it was 12 o' clock.

"Damn it's early..." I mumbled.

I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. After doing that, I went downstairs. I'm quite nervous to see Sanji right now. I can imagine how his face will be like if he sees me.

I climbed down the stairs and I noticed that his bedroom door was closed. His door is closed only when he's inside. This made me a bit confused. I approached quietly and put my ear on the door. I didn't hear anything. I hesitantly knocked but there was no response.

I decided to go in. I expected to see him asleep. Maybe he hibernated yesterday night and that's why he's still asleep. But when I entered his bedroom, he was not there...

What made me more confused is the fact that his bed was not tidy as it always is. It had a bunch of clothes scattered on it and the closet was open.

What?

No this is not what I think it is...right?

Please God tell me that's a dream...

I don't want to believe this...

No...he's not moving out...is he?

I rushed downstairs and saw Ace and Sabo sitting on the table, talking.

They turned their heads when they saw me and I looked them with wide eyes. Worry quickly overflowed from their bodies.

"What happened?" Sabo asked me.

"Where's Sanji?" I asked them, my control was about to leave me.

"Oh, he left early in the morning. He went to visit his grandfather for a few days and he'll be back" Ace informed me.

"What? Are you serious?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yup. He said he needs some time to settle his mind and make some decisions" Sabo told me.

"Oh my God...guys...I need to tell you something..." I was about to tell them about what happened last night but Ace cut me off.

"Don't bother, Sanji told us everything" He said and I sighed as I sat down at the table with them.

"Everything?" I asked just to make sure.

"Yeah...about the kiss, about what you told him, about how he feels..." Sabo said and my eyes widened.

"He told you about how he feels?" I asked, clearly nervous.

"Yeah" Sabo simply answered.

"What did he say?" I asked like a madman.

"Well...I'm not the one to tell you that. You have to find out by him. And the only way to find out is to ask him" He told me and Ace nodded.

"Ugh..." Was all I said.

"But hey, I can say that your words really impressed me man, I would have fallen for you" Ace told me and Sabo glared at him.

"If I was Sanji of course!" He continued and put a hand behind his neck.

"Good answer, don't change it" Sabo said in a serious tone and Ace looked away in guilt.

"Ugh anyway...I can't leave it like that" I complained.

"I'm glad you noticed that" Sabo said rolling his eyes and I sighed. We stayed in silence for a while until I decided to break the ice.

"By the way, where are Law and Luffy?" I asked.

"They went hiking at the mountain" Ace said.

"It's snowing at Corobo so they decided to go" Sabo continued.

"Oh...ok" I simply answered.

I talked a bit more with Sabo and Ace and they helped me find a solution.

I hope I make the correct decision...

Because I love him...
