Luffy was starting to fight the admiral who caused this mess when Sanji came upon Zoro’s sorry shackled form. Barely functional shackles he noted. Zoro could have probably escaped if he wasn’t looking so defeated by guilt.
Che! He thought he deserved this. As punishment.
Hardly surprising, he did call the marimo an idiot daily for good reason after all.
“Do you really need me to get you out of this?”
Zoro’s eyes flicked up at him.
“Leave. I’m not one of you. I gave up the right when I betrayed the crew.”
“LIKE HELL I’D GIVE UP MY NAKAMA!” Luffy’s scream echoed loudly in the background in response to something the admiral was saying. Sanji smirked at the timely response and gestured toward their captain helplessly. Zoro showed no sign of being swayed, as if he hadn’t even heard it.
“You didn’t have a choice right? You’re not the first one that betrayed the crew to misguidedly protect us.”
“It’s different. The girls, they hated it the whole way. I…I enjoyed it.”
“They made you enjoy it.” Sanji corrected with a hiss. Zoro shook his head in disgust.
“I should be stronger than that! What good am I if I can’t control myself?”
Sanji moved close, sliding his hand behind Zoro’s ear. The bastard had a point but he was too glad to see him and he’d be damned he was going to let him go. (Even if the captain hadn’t given the direct order to bring him back.)
“I’m sure we can find a use for you until you feel you’ve been punished enough.” Sanji smirked before pulling Zoro into a deep kiss.
“ZORO IS FAMILY! YOU DON’T TOUCH FAMILY!”
The cook grimaced. Zoro grinned, snapping his bonds as Luffy thoroughly ruined the mood.
“Incestuous pervert.”
“Shut up.”

“It’s going to be our senior year…” Sanji mumbled to the large fish as he smoked another one of those cigarettes that he’s definitely not supposed to be having while on duty.
The summer rain pinged steadily against the tin overhang of their sheltered picnic area as the two looked out at the all but abandoned amusement park. An occasional yellow poncho was the only indication that in the grayness of the day there was any customers in the park at all.
They should have just closed. It was getting late in the summer and anyone who wanted to come to the park already had early on or would wait till the weather cleared. Sanji rubbed the butt out against the wooden post next to him as he blew out the last bit of smoke. It was okay though. He needed the money if he wanted to travel after graduation.
The giant fish wiggled it’s fins minutely in acknowledgment and Sanji smiled at ‘Splashy’ the mascot as he pulled at the slightly damp polo as it clung to him in the humidity and mist in the air.
Usopp needed the money too he supposed. He bet Usopp would do this for free though considering how much Splashy hammed it up with the kids while Sanji charmed the moms and made sure no one pushed or got too inquisitive about why Splashy couldn’t stay when it was time for Usopp’s break.
No kids today for Splashy to hug. It was a bit sad.
“You know, Zoro is going to Japan after we graduate.” Sanji let it hang heavy in the air. “I’m going to train in France.”
Splashy moved closer as Sanji stared harder into the rain.
“He’ll dump me sometime before next summer. He’ll consider it a favor too. Setting me free or some shit. I know it. Then we’ll leave and never see each other again.”
Splashy’s plush fins grabbed him in a strong hug and Sanji let go after a moment, just this once. Usopp wouldn't hold it against him.
“At least we have one more year.”
The hug tightened.
Usopp froze as he spotted Splashy hugging his handler. He was doing Zoro a favor by giving him his shift so he could pay Nami back and here he was besmirching the integrity of the role!
After seeing Sanji’s face though, he decided to let it slide, just this once.
