5 | The truth 🥀

Sanji's car pulled back up in the driveway. Zoro gulped, not wanting to know Sanji's reason for leaving in such a hurry. The door opened and two people stepped inside, Zoro could tell from their footsteps. Sanji poked his head in, his face was dark and his eyes were red. There was a large bruise on his cheek that wasn't there before.

"Sanji?! Are you alright? Who did this to you!" Zoro said, standing up and walking over to him. Then he noticed the small figure behind him.

"I'm fine. I'll tell you about it later." Sanji said as the figure poked his head out from behind Sanji's legs. It was a child. His hair was a Chartreuse shade of blonde, and his eyes were bright blue, just like Sanji's. The boy also had bruises and a sad frown on his face. Zoro was worried.

Sanji ushered the child upstairs, and Zoro waited for him to come back down. He did eventually.

"Tell me. Tell me what happened and who did this to you!" Zoro said as Sanji sat down opposite him.

"My ex-husband. That was Yuki, my son." Sanji said quietly.

"Your son?"

"He stays with my ex-husband on weekdays because I'm at work, and he believes that I don't deserve to look after a child," Sanji said, his frown deepening.

"Why?"

"He always believed that I cheated on him on purpose, in short, Yuki isn't biologically related to him." Sanji said, his hands hidden between his thighs.

"So... who is the other parent then?" Zoro asked.

"I-I don't actually know. That's why my ex thought I cheated, even though it was just one night where some guy was trying to help me out with my heavy heats. And he accidentally got me pregnant." Sanji said, tears starting to well up in his eyes from the memories.

"Hey, hey, it's alright. Come here, I'll treat your face." Zoro said. Sanji walked over and sat next to Zoro where he tended to his face.

(Once Zoro finished)

"Thanks, Zoro," Sanji said, a small smile appearing on his face.

"No problem, it's what I'm here to do, is it not?" Sanji giggled but was cut off when Zoro grabbed his waist and kissed him softly. 

"Tell me, what actually happened when you left honey?" Zoro asked, stroking the top of Sanji's head gently.

"Yuki called me and said that his dad hit him again, so I rushed there as quick as I could. I demanded that I keep Yuki for the next couple months so he can sort things out, we got into an argument and he ended up hitting me. He's with his new girlfriend and they ignore Yuki all the time, I just couldn't sleep right knowing that." Sanji said, looking at his feet.

"Hey, I can always look after Yuki while your at work? I hardly ever need to go out since I only get called in for emergencies." Zoro said. Sanji's eyes brightened and he looked up at Zoro.

"Really? You won't mind taking care of him while I'm at work?" Sanji asked.

"Of course not, I'll be the best step-dad ever!" Zoro said, hugging Sanji tightly.

"Thank you so much, I don't know what I'd do without you," Sanji said.

"I should probably go now, I'll check up on you tomorrow!" Zoro said, releasing Sanji and making his way out of the door.

"Love you!" Zoro shouted before stepping outside and closing the door behind him.

"I love you too." Sanji said, even though he knew that Zoro couldn't hear him
