Future Could Be Like

                                    

                                          
Zoro sat at the table looking at Sanji's back as he cook. He rest his elbow on the table while his chin lay on his knuckles. He takes a quick glance at Luane as she draws in a book she brought over inside her duck backpack. Perona took the ASL brothers with her a while back before he started cooking.
                          
Both Sanji and Zoro sat and or stood there not sure what to say. The last time they talked it did not end well and now it's awkward. What do they say to each other? Sanji turns around with a big plate of omurice and Zoro just stares at it happily. Sanji hands him a spoon. Zoro says his thanks and grabs the spoon stuffing all the rice and egg in his mouth. Luane and Sanji stare at the man and Sanji caught a glimpse of Zoro smiling with his cheeks full of food. Sanji felt happy seeing him like that. So far every single time Zoro has looked at Sanji his face is shocked, neutral and unhappy. "Well you sure are hungry." Sanji says smiling at Zoro who just chokes a little seeing Sanji smile at him. Zoro swallows the food in his mouth.
                          
"I've been busy so I haven't had a decent meal." He says.
                          
"I heard you've been taking some of Smokers' shifts."
                          
"Yeah, Tashigi, Smokers wife, she's pregnant again and this time it's worse than before. I've been taking his shifts so he can be with her." Zoro continues to eat then stops, he's forgetting something but he can't think about what it is he's forgetting. He looks over to the clock.
                          
"What's wrong Roro?" Luane asks.
                          
"I think I forgot about something." He says looking at her. They have a staring contest before it hits him. "Shit!!!" Zoro yells standing up startling both Sanji and Luane. "I forgot! I'm gonna be late!!!" Zoro runs up to his room to get his phone and keys he runs into the kitchen stuffing the rest of his omurice in his mouth. He then runs to the front door sitting down to tie his shoes.
                          
"What are you late for?" Sanji asks.
                          
"Damn! She's going to be so mad." Zoro says not listening to Sanji who looks down at Luane who looks back. Zoro phone starts to vibrate he looks down at it worried. "This is Zoro." Zoro introduces himself. Sanji hears the voice of a female. "Alright I understand. Is it alright if I take them the whole day?" Sanji looks at him confused. 'Them' who's them? "Oh you already got permission. That's great. Is it alright if I'm not there immediately because I have something do." They talk a little more, "Ok thanks." Zoro says before hanging up. He puts his phone in his pocket before heading for the door but Sanji stops him.
                          
"I didn't know you were busy today, I thought Luane can spend the day with you." Sanji says looking sad. Zoro look down to see Luane's big blue eye tearing up. He can't say no to that face.

                          
"You can stay here I'm coming back."
                          
"How long will it take?"
                          
"It should take about twenty to thirty minutes." Zoro says. That's not a long wait but this is Zoro, wherever he's going he's going to get lost on the way so it might take at least two hours or less.
                          
"No! I want to go too." Luane says.
                          
"Yeah we'll go with you." Sanji says giving a thumbs up to Luane. Zoro stares at the two before just giving up. "Fine." Zoro says he takes out his keys and walks off while Luane puts her shoes on.
                          
"Where are you going?" Sanji says helping Luane.
                          
"Just wait outside!" Zoro yells. Sanji and Luane walk outside locking the door before closing it. They stand there in front of the gate looking both sides for Zoro when a black Toyota Highlander pulls up. The window lowers and Sanji sees Zoro. "Does Luane need a car seat?" Sanji shakes his head. "Then get in hurry, I'm going to be late." Zoro says and both Luane and Sanji walk up to the car. Sanji helps Luane into the car and sits her down. "Don't get to comfortable you might be moving." Zoro says looking behind him to Luane sitting down and putting her seat belt on.
