124ji are staying on the sunny for the foreseeable future after judge got killed and germa fell, and it's obvious that eventually zoro and niji would end up butting heads
"You're as easy to rile up as the cook" zoro smirks, blocking an electrified kick with the blade of one of his swords
The scowl on niji's face deepens and he tries to take advantage of their height difference, pressing forward and backing zoro against a wall
"I'm stronger than him" he snarls, hand closing around a fistful of zoro's robe
Zoro huffs out a laugh and in the blink of an eye turns them around, using his weight to press niji in place
"And yet the outcome of our little bickering sessions seems to be the same as when I do it with him..." He teases, still smirking, and slots their lips together in a kiss as heated as their fighting

Hours later, niji's pacing in the galley while sanji calmly smokes a cigarette after finishing the dinner clean up, eyes lazily following his brother's incessant steps
"Why are you so calm, I kissed your boyfriend??" Niji blurts out suddenly and if sanji didn't know him any better he would've jumped in alarm
Instead, sanji calmly blows out a cloud of smoke and stubs the cigarette against the ashtray he always leaves out on the table, "Technically, my boyfriend kissed you"
Niji grits his teeth and tries to argue, but sanji continues, smiling as if he had all the answers in the world, "The fact that you care and are so rilled up about it makes me relieved in a way, perhaps even happy"
A frustrated scream gets caught in niji's throat, "I obviously don't care, I just don't want any of you to throw me overboard in revenge since we're in the middle of nowhere!"
Sanji chuckles, "Why would I be mad zoro kissed you when I also kiss you? That'd make me a hypocrite, don't you think?"
The frustration seems to grow on niji, as he extends both of his arms at his sides as if to explain an obvious point, "That's because we're brothers!"
"Are you stupid? I know judge did a number on you three, but you should know brothers don't kiss each other like that"
The cogs finally seem to fall into place in niji's head and his demeanor does a complete 180°
A smirk slowly creeps up his lips and he walks in sanji's direction, caging him against the table like a predator stalking its prey, "Guess we're really a bit different from everyone else huh"
And then they're kissing, niji's hands immediately going to grab at the back of sanji's neck and at his waist to bring him impossibly closer
Sanji smiles against his lips and lets niji take the lead to deepen their kiss
