Summary
Luffy slides into the booth beside Law when he returns, and he leans over until his lips touch the shell of Law’s ear, “Wanna know a secret, Torao?” His voice is unusually warm and husky, sending a jolt down Law’s spine. “I’m already havin’ fun, but I'm gonna pretend I'm not, ‘cause that seems like fun.” He nips his front teeth teasingly on Law’s earlobe, chuckling softly in that dangerous way he does.
Law takes one of the fresh beers from Luffy and takes a long drink. Dark eyes stay glued on Law the whole time. “Well?” Law drones as he drops the mug to the table, “How do you plan on making me have fun, Straw Hat-ya?”
Luffy’s hand wanders under the table. He grips Law’s upper thigh, and his pinky slides out to brush over Law’s crotch. “You’re already having fun.”
------
Law tries to spend some quality time with Luffy, Luffy's whims take over entirely. Once again, Law is caught in Straw Hat's antics, and it doesn't even do him any good to complain. He's going to get exactly what he wants, anyway.Series

Summary
William and Sherlock unwind, relax, and grow closer after returning to New York City after Vermissa. William has given it much thought, and it's high time that he does exactly what he wants.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------“Sherly.” William says softly as Sherlock goes to leave the bathroom. “Won’t you stay?”
Sherlock turns his head over his shoulder, black hair falling in loose waves, eyebrow cocked high. “Pardon?”
“Won’t you join me, Sherlock? I know I’m behaving selfishly, but please humor me.” William says calmly, even though his heart hammers loudly in his chest.
Sherlock closes the bathroom door and turns to face William, “My darling, I would beg you to act selfishly for the rest of our lives. Alright?”
“Join me, Sherly.”
Sherlock nods, “Of course.”

Summary
If Sanji knew about Kuina, he didn’t let on, just finished clearing off the table he was working on and gestured for Zoro to sit. “Blueberry pancakes?” he asked once Zoro slipped into the booth.
The normalcy of the phrase made his heart burst and break within the same breath, but he did his best to answer with a nod. The boy’s familiar kitchen yell barely registered in his ears, fading in and out like a secret under water. Zoro couldn’t believe he was doing this without her—eating her favorite meal… having the audacity to move forward. But what else could he do? Who else was he, if not her best friend?
or,
Sanji’s family owned a diner and Zoro would go most Sundays to eat blueberry pancakes, yearn, and grieve.

Summary
It irked Zoro that upon meeting him, a whirlwind of limbs, blue eyes and a cigarette dangling from his cocky smile, something in his gut flip-flopped, instead of the usual, clear feeling he usually got when he met men, like a natural yes/no answer. Obviously, the lovesick fool greatly admired women, ceaselessly shouting his love for them at any opportunity. But he had met many a man like that who still sought to warm his bed- and Sanji was... well, Sanji . His simple existence riled Zoro up like no other. And why does it matter to him what the shitty cook’s preferences are anyways?
OR
Zoro secretely learns French to understand Sanji. Because that’s obviously the easiest way to learn if the cook likes men.
