---------XXX--------

“Blah blah blah blah… moon… blah blah… sea… blah… starry sky… blah blah…”

Zoro gazed out into the turbulent waters of the Grand Line. He enjoyed the feeling of the changeable breeze cooling his skin and the sound of the waves lapping on the hull of the ship. Night was always his favourite time; a perfect time for quiet contemplation, focussed training and, of course, napping. According to Sanji, it was a perfect time for ‘romance’. Zoro was a little mystified by the whole romance thing. He used to think that it meant eating food before having lots of sex but apparently, Sanji had a different idea. From what the Swordsman could see, he thought it meant crapping on for hours on end and boring your lover into some kind of submissive coma.

Kami, he was still going.

“Blah blah… eternal circle blah blah… significance of… blah blah… certain cultures… blah blah…”

What was he even talking about?! It was like a gentle wave of words washing over Zoro, rocking him to sleep. He knew from experience that falling asleep at this point was NOT a good idea. He had to endure Sanji’s ‘romance’ for a couple of hours before they moved onto his own… it must have been that long now surely? He felt like they had been here for weeks!

“Blah blah… marry blah blah… destiny… blah blah… for so long… blah blah…”

Zoro gazed at the moon peeking out from behind the clouds at last. It was full and bright, so much bigger that it was at home. It made night training so easy here… wait. Something's changed…

Zoro turned slowly, feeling the intense stare before he met the Cook’s burning gaze. Oh no. Sanji had stopped talking and he was waiting for Zoro to talk. Uhhhh…

“Well?” Sanji asked.

Think quick.

Sanji had said something important and he had to respond correctly or the Cook would know that he hadn’t been paying attention this entire time. If that happened, the chaces of moving this evening into the passionate-slightly-aggressive-but-that’s-how-I-like-it-fun-sex stage dwindled to pretty much nothing.

Damn.

“Yes,” Zoro guessed.

Sanji clapped his hands and then flung his arms around the Swordsman’s neck, tickling Zoro’s cheek with his super soft blond hair. He felt warm and very touchable. Mmmmm…

“I’m so happy Zoro! I never thought that you’d say yes!!! I can’t wait to tell everyone!!!” Sanji leapt to his feet and ran off up the deck, leaving an amused and slightly bewildered swordsman in his wake.

Wonder what the hell that was about. Oh well, looks like I chose the right answer. Hope Sanji comes back soon… it’s kinda dull out here without anyone to cuddle…

He heard feet pounding up the deck and Nami burst around the corner, with Robin and Luffy not far behind.

“Oh-my-God-I-can’t-belive-that-you-oh-it’s-so-amazing-I-never-thought-that-will-be-so-so-fun-to-plan-and-all-the-gifts-and-just…” Nami gushed.

Zoro blinked.

“Wha?”

Robin came to the rescue, “I think what Navigator-san is trying to say is ‘congratulations on your engagement’,” she smiled sweetly, her eyes twinkling.

“Oh thanks…” Zoro began, slightly baffled. After a few seconds, his brain caught up.

“MY WHAT!?!??!??!!?! SANJI!!!!!!!!”

Lol! Aaaah can I count it anyways? I adored it! The minute I started figuring out what was going on and predicted what was going to happen, I started to crack up and couldn't stop laughing until the end. It was wonderful hehe. I see so many hearts - sooooooooo many - just trailing around Sanji as he goes running around the ship and talking about how he's going to marry Zoro.
My favorite bit though was the little description on there different views on romance; that just seems so true to their characters.

Even if it doesn't count, I'm so glad to see someone writing for one of my prompts after nearly a month of silence xD I feel all bad, like I killed the community or something haha.

YAY! I'm really glad that you liked it :) I was going to write them having a fight about who gets to propose (i.e. who is the 'girlie one') but when I started writing, this just happened. Silly Zoro!

Don't worry about killing the comm! It's always a little quiet and every year at this time, the same thing happens to whatever poor writer won the last round. I think I've suffered through it at this time of year before and wondered the same thing. Now that the New Year is here it will pick up again as it always does. And I'm really looking forward to it!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!!!! OXOXOX

Pfff now I want to read a sequel to see what silly Zoro does next xDDD Figures he would get lost in conversations as well.

And that makes me feel better. I sure do hope to see some more interesting entries!

And happy new year ^^!

BWA-HA-HA!!! XD That's what you get for not listening, Zoro! XD *snickers* Trust Zoro to completely tune out a marriage proposal! XD *lolol*

Poor Sanji. He's gonna be PISSED that Zoro wasn't listening to him at all, through that. Zoro's gonna get relegated to the couch for a while, methinks. x3

I kinda feel sorry for him... Sanji does talk a lot after all *lol* Most women would be fainting away at the glorious romance of his history of wedding rings and the eternal link that binds a couple together... but not Zoro! He is a very silly man to let that one slip by him though, have to agree!

I have a feeling that by the time Sanji rounds the corner, Zoro will have had time to think about it and he'll accept it. Either that or they'll have a massive brawl. Hard to tell ;D Thanks for your comment, much appreciated!!!
