in town and about

[sanjikuroashi]

*Robin can feel the genuine care in his voice and wants to tell him to leave again and angrily push him away before she could do worse to him, but at the same time she is too fond of him to be unkind. With a wave of her hand she comes up with a distraction. She takes stock of what is happening around the hotel and puts it together with knowledge

[Che. Okay

*Zoro arches an eyebrow, smirk widening as Sanji trails off, then softening as he realizes how badly he wants to kiss him, how perfect it would be right now. But he can't, not here, so...*

"Oi..." *Voice low, intention clear.* "Let's go back to the inn."

[sanjikuroashi]

*Sanji's heart begins to quicken at Zoro's tone and implication and he wants to play this smooth but would be lying if he didn't admit there's a little thread of panic surging with him too.*

"Walking around town is rather over rated..."

[I can think of other things we can do...SHIT I can't say that.]

[demon_cutter]

"Exactly."

*Zoro turns to start heading in the direction that actually does lead to the inn, how excellent, he's learning, he--*

"Wait, that's not right."

*He confidently changes course.*

[sanjikuroashi]

"Hey idiot, you were right the first time."

*Sanji grabs his hand before he consciously realizes what he has done and begins to lead Zoro back toward the Inn. It doesn't take more than a second though before the heat of Zoro's palm triggers the memory of yearning for that hand and quickly and nonchalantly, tries to not make a big deal about letting go. Even if he would rather not.*

"I knew that, just making sure you were paying attention." *Zoro mutters, trying not to get distracted by Sanji's hand grabbing his, and trying not to chase after it when he let go, and trying not to walk too fast, and trying not to seem more eager than he already did, and--oh fuck it, he didn't care, all he wanted right now was to kiss the idiot cook until he couldn't see straight.*

*Sanji's heart starts to race as the Inn suddenly appears in front of them.*

[Fuck, I practically ran here. What the hell am I thinking we're going to do?! It's going to be obvious I don't have a clue...but..]

*He feels Zoro next to him and he is reminded of how much he wanted Zoro to stay with him this morning.*

[I want to...]

*A few of the inn girls start to pass in front of them and the cook freezes, not sure if he should push ahead around them or avoid them. Any flirting/couple acting at this moment and it could easily get out of hand.*

[demon_cutter]

*It's admittedly Zoro's groin that's more excited than his heart, and he isn't sure he has the patience to sneak around and dealing with the girls is easy enough. He glances at Sanji and slides an arm around his waist, tugging him along.*

"C'mon."

[sanjikuroashi]

*It feels strangely comforting and secure to have Zoro's arm around his waist and he tries not to feel a little bothered by that. A man that is so dedicated to something, a man that can just leave to go play with their captain shouldn't be so easy to trust with his body. Shouldn't feel so good and welcoming.*

"Yeah, yeah..."

*Sanji resists the urge to lean into the swordsmans touch as he lets himself be ushered back into the inn.*

[demon_cutter]

[ooc: whoops idk if we're doing this anymore but uh hi!]

*Zoro gets them by the girls with an obvious squeeze of Sanji's waist and an upward quirk of his mouth that sends across a not-so-subtle message. They enter the inn with the sound of feminine giggles behind them and Zoro wisely lets Sanji lead them to their suite.

Once inside with the door closed, Zoro can't wait anymore. When he tugs Sanji close and kisses him, there's already arousal starting to burn within him, tinged with frustration. Frustration at his lack of control, at the fact that the cook hadn't left his mind once all day and how he almost hates Sanji for how much he wants him.*
