" I wouldn't dream of complaining or arguing~"
He let out a soft chuckle , perhaps having a slight idea of what they could potentially be doing.
" You always give me such a wonderful welcome after all."
The quick kiss put a light shade of pink on his cheeks , yet the words made him chuckle.
" Well now. I wouldn't want to break your heart now would I?" He asked , leaning against the other once he had straightened up.
" of course I want to stay."
"Id be sad if ye di'nt wanna stay. Might break ma wee little heart"
He quickly lay a kiss fown before pulling back up to start uo straight, a smirk on his face
" I thought about you a lot too. . .'
His voice was soft as he nuzzled back against the red head's cheek , unable to keep the silly grin off his face.
" You mind if I stay for a little bit ? Since we finally caught a break. . ."
Perhaps he had almost forgotten how tall the other was , but looking up at that face he missed so much , it was a rather refreshing sight.
" Can't complain much. Been about the same. Finally caught a break so I decided to come see you."
A small grin formed on his face as he stared at the other , letting out a soft hum.
" How have you been ? I figured it was high time I came back to check on you."
While Zoro walked Sanji seemed to be drifting in and out of consciousness. Maybe going out like that hadn't been the best idea and he'd probably regret it in the morning- but right now he was just enjoying the comfort of Zoro’s scent as they got back to the ship.

Feeling Sanji relax against him and make himself comfortable brought a pleased smile to Zoro’s face. Being able to take care of the cook, even though the other didn’t know about his feelings, meant the world to him. They were usually both way too stubborn to accept -
escape from him. Surely that wasn't the case. . .
"The guy I like- huh. . .well- he's strong- kinda dumb and annoying but reliable. . .can always count on him to show up at the. . .hic. . .right time. . ."
In a way- it sounded similar to what had happened tonight. ++
