Hello again! The lovely reviews and ratings made me so warm and fuzzy inside, thank you so much, it means a lot to someone who's just started writing.

Then again, what's with the second chapter? I swear this was supposed to be a oneshot, it really was...but then I got swept away (by some really nice people and their praises) and attempted a sequel. This proved to be a pretty bad idea, since the story lost most of it's humor and gained some OOCness instead. Still, it took me long hours to write and I bitterly decided to upload it anyway, since I could use some constructive criticism, as a beginner in this fanfic business and all.

Anyway, here it goes.

Meditation

The swordsman cleared his throat, trying to chase all unnecessary thoughts away. This was his personal time, he didn't need Luffy pop into it, not even in the form of memories. His mind began to clear slowly, as he focused deeper on his goal - to become the most skilled swordsman in the world, to have his name reach out to heavens and let Kuina know that their covenant had finally been fulfilled. He'd become a pirate now, so his life had suddenly taken a major turn. Luffy was strong, but reckless, so it was guaranteed they would clash with formidable foes in the future. Zoro's body unconsciously shivered with anticipation: this was the path he so much desired. His goal was not yet in sight, it would take a while for him to find that terrific man and he was probably not skilled enough to defeat him at the moment, but that didn't change the fact that he craved to clash swords with the legendary swordsman.

Wasting his time drifting at sea was getting on his nerves, but he couldn't help noticing that he had been wasting it even worse before he met Luffy. His total lack of direction was something he didn't like admitting, not even to himself, and while his captain had absolutely no navigational skills, he could at least find his way while on land. They should get their hands on a navigator as soon as they found an island, or else they risked dying of starvation some day. Not that he was really that confident they wouldn't die this time. The swordsman couldn't help laughing at that; he was such a moron, he had such an important promise to keep and he stupidly left his home island by himself, not even taking a fucking compass, having no idea where he was headed or how to get back, and then there he was, boarding this little boat with another moron with a similar ambition, getting lost at sea and risking their lives...

But then he got serious again, having realized something essential. For a man to become the most skilled swordsman, or the pirate king, luck would definitely hold a crucial role; one might go as far as to say that luck is actually part of a winner's nature. It was silly to let any doubts cloud his ambition and hinder his concentration. He was definitely going to reach his goal, nothing could stand in his way, especially not his sense of direction and navigational skills, or lack thereof.

A lazy yawn suddenly reached his ears, the break in the acoustic monotony affecting his concentration a bit. "It seems the idiot finally woke up", Zoro noticed. He was starting to grow on him, the little rubber bastard. It was difficult putting up with his outrageous moods and randomness, but he liked the guy and owed him his life after all. Luffy was just too honest for his own good, not that Zoro didn't appreciate honesty, being the same in that respect, but his captain barely had any self control.

The episode three days ago vividly came back to his mind and the swordsman couldn't help popping a vein on his forehead. He still couldn't get over it, damn it! He was, most of all, mad because of the way it had affected him. He couldn't stay mad at Luffy, the guy instantly forgot all about it the moment he caught sight of meat and never mentioned anything like it again. He was probably delirious when he started making those advances, so why couldn't Zoro just pretend nothing happened?

Before his captain's sudden suggestion, the first mate didn't even think about sex, he'd never felt the need for it and hadn't even masturbated in months. Not that there was anything wrong with that, but he was rarely distracted enough to get in the mood for it. Sleeping and drinking were usually enough to keep his body happy and mind relaxed, masturbation was just another option that he rarely considered. As for real sex, the simple fact it involved another person made it way too complicated for Zoro to even fantasize about it. It just didn't suit him, he thought; having an ambition like his meant that any additional attractions or commitments would only hinder him in his journey.

But then, joining a pirate crew was pretty much the same thing; he would acquire more nakama along the way and grow an even stronger sense of loyalty towards his crew and captain. Was this really the right choice for him? He remembered Kuina, the one who started it all. No, this was no hollow ambition, it was something born from and supported by deep feelings. Emotions such as those should only serve as motivational boosts, rather than get in his way. A man who abandoned all his humanity in order to reach one goal was just a weakling, he had no desire to turn into such a man.

Wait, how did he get here? Had he just realized something so important because of Luffy's stupid advances? This was NOT happening to him, damn it! It was too absurd. Why on earth would he start thinking about feelings and commitment after a guy buzzed him for sex three days ago? Logic failed him, but then a small thought started creeping into his conscious mind. It wasn't completely illogical, or else his subconscious wouldn't have come up with the connection. He just didn't want to accept that the two things had anything to do with each other. Zoro was pissed. Not only did his mind come up with weird thoughts, he was also desperately trying to shut them off; he was avoiding being honest with himself and that was, by far, the biggest sin of all. He who does not know his true self, has no right to call himself a swordsman.

So fuck it all! It was because of the sex. Luffy's stupid blabbering made him think of sex and apparently this was the way he perceived sex: commitment, feelings. It was embarrassing, it made him feel like a pansy, but how the hell could he not get all shocked and defensive when his moron of a captain almost threatened his virginity, and in a totally random manner as well. "Ok, so I treasure my virginity. Is this what you wanted me to admit? Could I even sink lower?", Zoro bitterly asked his subconscious. It was quite amusing if he thought more about it. "The future most skilled swordsman in the world wants to keep his purity and wait for his true love, he's that sort of emotional pansy", he thought self-mockingly. Ok, maybe "pansy" was still too much. It wasn't that bad, really, it just meant he was serious about every aspect of his life. This was a quality, not a fault, damn it, why did other people's preconceptions and stereotypes have to affect his self-composure?

Zoro's flow of mind was suddenly perturbed by a poke in the face and the first mate remembered what had caused his thoughts to stray off course in the first place: his idiot of a captain had woken up. The whining would start soon, so he'd better pay attention to the moron now and save himself from further annoyance.

"Morning Captain. What do you want?", Zoro lazily asked."Is it more complaining about severe boredom, lack and meat and... all that?", the swordsman remembered the other reason for Luffy's whining three days ago, but couldn't be that much of an idiot to mention it.

"Yeah, how did you know?", the rubber boy wondered.

"You've only complained about those for about ...a thousand times, already. How the hell could I even forget?", the swordsman pointed out, and he meant it literally. Luffy was too much of an adrenaline freak. Honestly, he needed more self-control, it couldn't be helped, they were drifting, they had nothing to do, why not just try and wait patiently for them to reach a shore?

"I know, I'm sorry. I just can't help it...", the captain admitted apologetically.

"Wow, that's a new one.", Zoro couldn't help teasing. "Here's an apple for now. Eat up, maybe we're lucky enough to get attacked by a sea king or something. Then we should have enough meat.", he said while digging in the barrel for two apples, giving one to Luffy and biting the other one.

Luffy's eyes sparkled, "Sea king, I wonder if it's tasty... That would be awesome!!". Zoro just sighed, he was getting sick of apples as well.

"I knew there was something important I'd forgotten!", the rubber boy exclaimed suddenly. "I got all distracted after catching that deliii-cious bird the other day. Why didn't you remind me, Zoro?", Luffy questioned his first mate and instantly found his face covered in half-chewed apple pieces. The swordsman couldn't help his surprise, why the hell would he ever want to remind the idiot about it ???

"What are you talking about?", he unsuccessfully tried to play the nonchalance card, "I don't think anything important happened that day before you caught the bird. It was just boring as hell, like every other day, since we got lost..." If Zoro spitting apple bits in his captain's face hadn't seemed obvious enough, his slight shaking and uncontrollable blush, combined with the unconvincing tone of his voice and madly popping vein on his forehead only confirmed the fact that he knew exactly what the rubber boy was talking about.

"What's wrong with you, Zoro? You're acting really weird. Are you feeling ill?", the only person in the world who would actually buy such a terrible lie wondered, worry all over his face.

"I... I'm fine, Luffy.", Zoro managed, relieved that the moron actually bought it. His victory was, unfortunately, short-lived, since Luffy didn't seem interested in changing the subject at all.

"Well, anyway. I remember I was really horny that day...", the boy began, while Zoro rolled his eyes. He had got to be kidding, was there really no escape for him? "...And I came up with this really great idea to get rid of boredom and have some fun. So I kept asking you to have sex, and you didn't want to, and then I asked why, and you said we couldn't 'cause we're both guys, and then I thought really hard and realized that we actually could, and just when I was about to tell you how, that bird flew above us and I forgot all about it.", Luffy finished in one breath. "So now that I figured how, you wanna do it, right?", the straw hat boy asked, eyes sparkling in a similar way they did at Zoro's mention of sea king meat. The first mate blinked, rubbed his eyes, then blinked again. He wasn't seeing things, the boy really was beaming. Now he couldn't even be annoyed, damn it. It was almost cute. Whoa.... Wait a moment. Did he just think Luffy was cute? Well, he was, the little bastard had gotten under his skin so much that Zoro couldn't even punch him. Fuck, he even felt bad for the kid, he really did, but that wasn't nearly enough for him to... Whoaaaaa... Stop that! Don't consider it, damn it!

"Sorry...", he finally managed, "I can see that you're really looking forward to it and I wouldn't just refuse you for no reason. But this shit's more important to me than I thought and I really don't want to do it." It was Luffy's time to blink, as Zoro's honest tone suddenly made the boy take the answer seriously. A look of understanding washed over his face, followed by his characteristic huge grin.

"No problem. I can wait.", the captain answered in a knowing voice, munching at his apple happily. Zoro was dumbstruck. What the fuck was going on in that rubber brain of his captain? "Oi, that's not what I meant! It's not that I'm not ready yet, I simply... Oi, are you listening, you idiot?", he ended up in frustration, shaking a blank-faced, nose-picking Luffy, fuming, vein popping and all.

"You wanna do it with the one you love, isn't that what you meant?", Luffy asked for confirmation. "Wow, that's really great, Zoro...", he continued in an appreciative voice, taking Zoro's gaping mouth as a yes, "...it really makes me like you even more." His grin widened and he paused for a few moments, before finally adding: "Well, gotta work hard then."

A/N:

Well, wasn't that lame? :( I'm really not happy with the way it turned out, but if you could be so kind, I would seriously appreciate constructive criticism/advice.

Later edit: broke the 3rd and 4th paragraphs into several shorter and more reader-friendly ones. ^_^

Fun fact : The spell check is so damn annoying when correcting my correct words. I was taught British and still can't stand it when colour becomes color, humour becomes humor, behaviour becomes behavior... Why oh why? :)) It sounds so ...weird. :P

Also, please help me improve my grammar/vocabulary. If anything sounds off, it probably is. So give me a nudge. I'm planning on taking an English proficiency test in the not-so-close future, so I could learn a lot from someone pointing out my mistakes.
