high_seas | A Water Park with Hammers

[then he hops over and presses the hat over Sanji's face as if to make him feel better and leans over to Zoro]

Maybe we should go somewhere with less boobs.

[he wants to fix the situation and if boobs started it maybe going away from them will help end it?]

It's fine, Luffy, really.

[he may not be drunk, exactly, but Zoro is feeling no pain right now. He's a little taken aback by the energy of the cook's outburst, but he can understand the sentiment. Something to file away for later. He slides a hand onto Sanji's knee under the table to try to calm him down.

Besides, he's trying to finish this beer so he can move on to something tastier, like sake or rum.]

Now what's this about getting action?

[Pales a little at the sudden question, even though it's not what happened, but it's dangerously close to asking if something did happen and that's bad enough. But he's downed enough booze by now that the alcohol-induced flush in his cheeks might hide it, plus then Luffy's covering his mouth and shoving his hat in Sanji's face anyway.

It's an excuse not to answer, at least, so he doesn't bother to, instead making an indignant sound and yanking at Luffy's wrist to make him lower the hat.]

Oi, get off! I wanna smoke!

[His twists his knee away from Zoro's hand, too, because he's fine. Mostly. In any case, he doesn't want his pissy attitude to keep bringing things down, so he shoves everything to the back of his mind and decides to stop being a grumpy shit. All the better to keep them from asking more questions.

He manages to get the hat lowered some and finds Luffy over the top of it.]

C'mon, the shitty marimo plant is curious now.

Mmmmm. [frown. But okay. He puts his hat back on his head and drops from Sanji but decides to stand between them instead because they have a lot of time to themselves and he wants to be right here. He grabs his third beer and doesn't want to lift it so sticks his lips in like a straw and slurps it up a bit, getting foam on his nose when his lips snap back into place.]

Flowers farted on me and that Draco guy and I got to taste him. But then he got scared. I like him when he's a weasel and why are blushes so interesting? It's not like when you guys blush cuz that's just funny.

[eyes him a bit. That Draco guy? He only vaguely remembers some guy who signed his journals with that name.]

Where was this, at that love festival? [snorts and goes back to finishing his beer] It's never a good sign when people get scared of you kissing them, Luffy. Your luck isn't very good.

[shoots Sanji a look out of the corner of his eye, from across Luffy now. Why so twitchy, cook?]

[Who's twitchy? Sanji's not. Shut up. 8|

He takes a drag of his cigarette, sort of ignoring that look as he exhales away from the other two.]

It was a shitty flower, though. That ain't any better than when it was the candy with us.

[Sanji does glance back toward Zoro at that.]

You weren't exactly jumping into my pants after that whole thing. I told him, people don't like it when their bodies do shit they can't control.

[And then he grins a little, eyes lingering on Zoro for a minute before moving to Luffy.]

That's why blushes are interesting. Because you can't control it and when someone else blushes because of something you're doing, it means you're affecting 'em somehow. [Back to Zoro, grin fading to more of a smirk.] Right, marimo-kun?

I don't think flowers or candy or stuff is good for things like that. [because of what Sanji said, but if people didn't want to do it it wasn't fun either. He picks up his beer and moves to sit on the bar, facing them. The bartender lets out a grunt at this but Luffy is gonna do what he wants]

It's okay if I'm not lucky. That stuff doesn't bother me even when it's fun when it happens. [he wipes foam off his face and then licks it off his arm but he grins at Sanji's explanation.]

Yeah I like to make Zoro blush, too. It's funny. And maybe one day I'll get to do it because someone wants me to do things like that. [and maybe not but it's fun to think about]

Maybe Law. shishishi He'd be really fun.

[if only because he's so grumpy Luffy thinks it'd be hilarious.]

Edited 2015-03-11 07:36 (UTC)

[it's impossible not to blush when you're as tipsy as Zoro is, but he also doesn't care if he does. Best of both worlds.]

Yeah, yeah, laugh it up. It ain't a bad thing, it just makes it hard to keep things a secret when you want to, if your face goes all red.

[generally nodding. Lack of control. Yes. That thing. Meanwhile he is totally in control of drinking down this giant glass of beer, so anything that happens afterward is just for fun.]

[B'awww, whether he cares or not, Zoro flushing like that always puts Sanji in a good mood, and his grin widens again as he reaches for his drink.

As such, he's in the middle of taking a sip when Luffy throws that name out there, and he ends up choking on the rum for a moment, having to drag the back of his hand across his mouth as he coughs.]

Law??

[Huh. He has to think about that. Because hmmmm. He gets a speculative look.

Grumpy is fun. And Law ain't exactly bad on the eyes.

Sanji arches an eyebrow at Luffy.]

You know, he's got fuckin' great hair. For digging hands into. [Pause.] If you like that kinda shitty thing.

[Booze makes it really easy to talk, did you know?]

But blushing means you like someone right? [slurps down more of his beer] Everyone knows already so it's okay, isn't it?

[he blinks owlishly at Sanji]

That kind of stuff feels good? [he never thought of it that way] I wanna try it. Ahh it's so frustrating! I don't wanna hafta go where those plants are. [sigh]

[for a moment, his head slowly turns toward Sanji and his eyebrows threaten to shoot right off the top of his green head. Oh really?

But he decides to revisit that later and answer Luffy instead, because it takes a lot less brainpower - and he's got about two gulps of beer left before that prize is his.]

Nah, you can blush for lots of reasons. It's just being embarrassed. Like when people blush when they're naked and someone sees 'em when they don't want to be seen naked.

[finishes off that beer and slams his giant glass on the table, demanding his prize.]

...I think I need a glass of water before I switch to rum. Oi, don't worry about it, Luffy. I didn't even bother for so long and I don't care.

[Now there's a look he can't easily ignore. Instead, Sanji catches Zoro's eye and guess who's blushing now? Heh...what, he can think these things. >.> He looks a little sheepish, trying to hide it behind his glass as he takes another sip of rum.]

...You gotta be the worst person on the planet to be talkin' about being embarrassed to be naked. And you're tellin' the other worst person. Do either of you two give a shit about that kinda thing?

[He sets his glass down and stubs out the remains of his cigarette, before grinning at Luffy.]

Mah, Luffy, it'll happen for you eventually. I promise. Does feel good, though. [Lifts his hands, flexing his fingers some and letting his grin widen.] Wanna see?

I don't wanna be naked when it's cold outside! That would really bother me. [he just kind of smiles at Zoro, feeling warm about it though that might be the beer.] You found someone really special, huh? Except I did! Shishishi You're welcome!

[the bartender looks aghast at their finishing...but a prize is a prize so he brings out enough dubloons to buy a drink or two more for each of them and then goes into the back room for whatever the big prize is.

For Luffy's part he grins at Sanji's confidence then startles]

Yeah!

[but then glances back at Zoro.]

It's okay, right?

[cuz these things are tricky]

[SHIT YEAH MONEY

I mean.

He's busy for a moment collecting the doubloons and ordering water and rum, but sits back in time to be asked that crucial question.]

Mm. I guess so. I'm sitting right here so it's not like it's a secret.

[not surprised that the cook gets extra-handsy when he's drunk, though. It's kind of cute, and Zoro's relaxed enough, he doesn't mind.]

[He was actually kidding, but hell, Luffy's hair ain't that different from Law's. Just as...uh. Diggable.

Is that a word?

No.

Fuck it.

Diggable hair is shitty good hair.

So he shrugs and hops up off his stool, stepping right in between Luffy's legs since he's conveniently sitting on the bar and all.

(And then takes a second to be glad that the bartender is in the back for the moment.)

Sanji brings his hands up again, wasting no time as he threads them back into Luffy's hair. He grips it a little, tipping Luffy's head back and pressing against the bar so that there isn't much distance between them.]

See, and then I'd kiss the shit outta you. [He's maybe a little closer than necessary actually, breath ghosting across Luffy's mouth when he speaks.] Except you were an asshole and said I was bad at it.

[That random detail pops into his head. One he'd forgotten about until just now. Tch.

His hold on Luffy's hair loosens so that he can comb his hands through it again, more gently this time, and he turns his head to grin over at Zoro.]

That guy doesn't think so.

[woah.

What is going on?

It's close. Really close. Really very close.

And Sanji's hands feel really very good and make his scalp tighten but it's the close stuff that makes him want to lean back and lean forward at the same time except leaning back would be better because his face is so hot it feels like gear second is going through his blood especially when Sanji says something like that and he swallows hard especially since it's so close.

Smoker was bad at it, too. But... then things changed... But then he didn't really want it after all and Sanji...

Is just showing him and he knows it.

And that cools him somehow and he relaxes with his hands behind him, smiling a little as he absently thumps his heels against the lower half of the bar.

Maybe people just like to show things sometimes when they've had to drink a lot or flower farts on them or eat weird candy. They're different then and that's why they don't wanna do it later because maybe it changes something.]

That's cuz you've had more practice with Zoro. But you guys have to keep getting stronger at it so you'll be the best.

[the best at kissing each other? Well why not. This kind of thing felt really good so they should have as much fun as they could. He nudges Zoro's shin with his foot just for it to be there and squinches his toes a bit against Zoro's pantleg.]

But I bet Law would just get mad at me if I tried that. He's even grumpier than you guys are.

[just kind of watching from over the rim of his glass because hnnnnngh goddammit cook you come over here and give me some of that right now.

On the inside.

He meets Sanji's grin with a knowing little smirk of his own.]

Yeah, we practice a lot. Over and over until we get it right. [snerk] I got no complaints.

...and for the record, I ain't grumpy. Not like Law.

Practice makes perfect and all that shit.

[Speaks in a singsong sort of tone.

He leans up against the bar -- or tries to, but he forgot he was between Luffy's legs, which means Luffy's body is sort of in the way of where Sanji wants to brace an arm. Instead, his hand winds up on Luffy's chest for a beat before he remembers their positions, and then he shifts it back up so he can lazily drape his arm over Luffy's shoulder. If he absently starts brushing his fingers through the hair at the nape of Luffy's neck, well...sorry, captain.

His other hand reaches behind Luffy to find his drink (which got refilled at some point, nice), and then he angles himself in Zoro's direction as he sips at it, his hip resting against the bar.]

Law's his own special brand of grumpy. I don't think that idiot had any fuckin' clue just what the hell he was gettin' himself into when he joined up with us. But long as he takes that shitty hat off sometimes and doesn't whine when I serve bread, he can hang around however the hell long he wants.

[Sanji don't mind. ...But the hat thing is important. Because floofy hair.]

[the hand on his chest is surprising but it doesn't affect him one way or another. He tips his head back at the fingers at the back of his neck. That feels really good, too. He raises a hand, half wondering if he can pat Sanji's hair but then decides against it because somehow he feels it wouldn't be a good thing if he did it. This stuff is pretty confusing]

He wanted to be allies, though, right? And I like him. [and that was all that mattered] Well if Law doesn't like bread I'll eat it if there's meat in it. But I wanna floof his hair first. You get Zoro's. [stingy]

Headbutting is good, too. Have you guys tried that?

[eyeing Sanji a little more closely now, because them are some boundaries being pushed right there. Granted, they did just sort of go over this yesterday, at the bath house. He would remember yesterday better if he hadn't just had three enormous mugs of beer. But then Luffy's remark makes him burst out laughing.]

Right, right, that. No, Luffy, can't say as we have. That doesn't hurt you because you're rubber, y'know.

Edited 2015-03-14 06:56 (UTC)

[Sort of catches that, but is also sort of drunk now as he continues to drain his glass. Thank fuck he only had one of those giant shitty mugs instead of three... In any case, his hand does still on Luffy's neck as he blinks at Zoro, but then the man starts laughing at something or other and he has to rewind the conversation to figure out what he missed.]

Oi, I wanna floof it second then!

[Wait, no, not that. He squints at Luffy.]

The fuck is headbutting?

[Aside from the obvious. It seems...vaguely familiar. Some kinda Luffy-ism...?]

Edited 2015-03-14 07:20 (UTC)

Okay you can floof it second.

[he finishes his glass... well someone's glass. It's a smaller glass so probably not his glass but who cares if it's tasty, and glances at Sanji]

It's giving head. You know. Like this! [and he grabs Zoro's face in both hands and demonstrates with affection]

[OW SHIT.

Well at least it only spills what's left of his glass of water. Don't care, means he can move on to rum instead. Zoro sits back, rubbing his forehead.]

Dammit Luffy, what did I just say?

[Chokes on his rum and then bursts out laughing, though he's quick to set his glass down and sway forward toward Zoro where he slaps his hands to the man's cheeks so he can lift his face and inspect him for any permanent damage.]

That ain't givin' head, you idiot, you're way off.

[Really not even paying attention to his own words, oops, too busy still chuckling down at Zoro and trying to sooth his scowl away by pressing a palm to his forehead.]

Shit, Luffy, you know this dumbass can't spare the shitty brain cells. Gotta be careful when you're knockin' his stupid face around.
