one piece: just beneath the surface
posted to: 1sentence ; zosan
set; beta
notes; first zosan! yeeeaaah...
#1 - Walking
Walking with a broken leg was not a task easily accomplished and for Black Leg Sanji, it was also extremely humiliating; the damn marimo had wisely kept his silence.
#2 - Waltz
When Nami wanted to win, nothing less was acceptable - especially when there was prize money involved. Still, why did he have to dance with this stupid love-love cook?!
#3 - Wishes
Sometimes, Zoro did get tired of everything - especially Sanji and his stupid antics; he just wishes that pervert would get it already.
#4 - Wonder
After a few months of nonstop drunken sex - where he wasn't nearly half as drunk as Sanji had assumed - Zoro wonders when he'll have the nerve to do this the proper way.
#5 - Worry
Sanji worries about him, always, because the cook knows, no matter how strong he is physically, Zoro had never been able to truly let go.
#6 - Whimsy
There was something more than just whimsy and playfulness in Luffy's eyes when he leers at them, "Now hug. Captain's orders..."
#7 - Waste/Wasteland
The carnage was not something he wanted to see, but when one booted foot nudges him far too tenderly and a voice, even softer yet still firm, demands, "Get up, cook." He does.
#8 - Whiskey and Rum
"S-see, I can so handle my alc- " thump. Zoro sighs and picks the far too stubborn blond up from the floor. Right.
#9 - War
Something as trivial as who broke Nami-san's mug should have been overlooked when they were facing a war, but this was Sanji and Zoro they were talking about.
#10 - Weddings
Vivi's wedding had been beautiful and the Straw Hats had relished the chance to visit an old friend (even if they had to wear disguises), in fact, everything had been going spectacularly - until Sanji somehow caught the bouquet.
#11 - Birthday
"Happy birthday," was the mumbled greeting and in short order, a poorly-wrapped box was shoved into his chest before the swordsman stalked off; if he hadn't been told by Nami-swan that the swordsman had even accepted her (exorbitant) premium interest rate to afford this gift... "Thanks, marimo."
#12 - Blessing
So, after much difficulty and turmoil, Zoro came to terms with his temporary female state; Nami had been right, Sanji was much easier to get along with now.
#13 - Bias
It frustrated him to no end, seeing Sanji take the side of anything vaguely attractive that had a pair of breasts; but because Zoro actually did have a working understanding of what love is, bore with it.
#14 - Burning
When Perona, that beautiful b-b-b-bi-bit- damn it, he just can't insult a lady!, leaps at his marimo and wasn't sidestepped or even ignored, Sanji burned.
#15 - Breathing
Sanji didn't like to cuddle but with Zoro wrapped around him as he was now, he didn't mind so very much.
#16 - Breaking
Every person had a breaking point, some were just closer to the surface than others. Zoro's was deceptively far yet much more tangible than he had expected.
#17 - Belief
That unflinching faith Zoro has in everything, Sanji wonders if he'll ever be so sure of himself, of them.
#18 - Balloon
Zoro looked on in abject horror as Sanji returned with three balloon swords; he didn't really expect him to take those when he had three perfectly good swords right - "For you."
#19 - Balcony
Climbing up the ivy to reach Princess Zora's balcony to serenade her was supposed to be a romantic gesture; the previously male Princess begged to differ.
#20 - Bane
"Bane of my fucking existence," Sanji grumbles at him, but the broth he feeds him tells him otherwise.
#21 - Quiet
When Sanji got deathly quiet like this, no matter how tired or busy he was in his training, Zoro ambles by and gives the cook a jarring shove into the ocean - the water will do him some good.
#22 - Quirks
It wasn't like Zoro wasn't interested in women, Sanji tries to explain one night to Luffy, of all people, he just chooses not to notice! His captain looks away but chose not to comment, and for a moment, Sanji wonders if he's missing something.
#23 - Question
Zoro had never doubted himself since Kuina, so once he decides that he wanted Sanji, he didn't stop to question.
#24 - Quarrel
When neither man so much as glanced at the other for a week, Nami had taken matters into her own hands; grabbing one by the collar and the other by the front of his shirt, she swung them together with unexpected strength, "START A FIGHT OR GET OFF THIS SHIP!"
#25 - Quitting
Trying to get Sanji to stop smoking - no matter how much Nami promised to lower his debt by - just wasn't worth it, Zoro decides.
#26 - Jump
Zoro didn't hesitate and jumps when he's told to, Sanji sighed happily, what a good puppy...
#27 - Jester
The stupid cook was an idiot even in sleep, Zoro decides; since when was he a puppy?
#28 - Jousting
Zoro liked jousting even if he was restricted to only one pointy instrument of death to use, if Sanji and Nami hadn't put their foot down, he would have easily convinced Luffy that a horse was what they needed onboard.
#29 - Jewel
The very, very marked distaste for Bonney the swordsman had was because of the tomato juice. Nothing. Else.
#30 - Just
"If you hurt him..." he'd never been threatened by an eight year old girl, let alone in his dreams.
#31 - Smirk
There was something about that smirk that pushed him off the edge and that damned moss ball knew it and abused it too: on the ship, in the middle of battle, halfway through an argument (that Zoro was losing, of course), while he was cooking - Sanji just couldn't say no.
#32 - Sorrow
They were separated now but he knew he was somewhere out there, probably on some island surrounded by beautiful women and being stupidly happy; Zoro was not happy about that and continued his training with renewed vigour.
#33 - Stupidity
Sanji stopped himself mid-rant; just when had he cared enough about this bastard to start nagging at him?
#34 - Serenade
He was pissed off - or rather, she was pissed off. Either way, Zoro sat up, stalked over to the lovesick fool outside his window and threw something, anything outside: "SHUT THE HELL UP and STOP TREATING ME LIKE A WOMAN!"
#35 - Sarcasm
"Like I'd ever waste my time on that shitty ero-cook." His words cut a lot deeper than his swords ever could.
#36 - Sordid
Zoro, still black and blue from his recent interlude with his temperamental cook, lies still in a heap on the floor and reflects on his mistake: he shouldn't have laughed.
#37 - Soliloquy
Sanji liked to talk, way too much - especially during sex. Which is motivation enough for Zoro to shut him up.
#38 - Sojourn
His time on Mihawk's island was different and Zoro would be lying if he said he hadn't liked it - but it wasn't where he wanted to be.
#39 - Share
It was possible, on certain occasions, for the two of them to spend a moment in tranquil silence, but then marimo-head had to do something to ruin things.
#40 - Solitary
When Luffy disbands the crew, Zoro had been the last to leave. He had been alone before, but after years and years and years of this... A palm slides against his, warm and reassuring and Zoro inhales. He's not alone anymore.
#41 - Nowhere
After Mihawk, after Luffy, Zoro had nowhere left to go and so, he went somewhere else - All Blue.
#42 - Neutral (neutral jin, do nothing and wait)
Zoro hadn't been the very best of students when sensei had been talking about chi and jin, but now as he watched Sanji and did nothing, he understood.
#43 - Nuance
It takes subtlety, discretion, grace to impress him - things that Sanji was sure the marimo didn't have, but then again, Mihawk must have taught him something on that shitty island.
#44 - Near
Sanji was aware that Zoro's future wasn't his alone; there's a little girl and a proud swordsman taking up far too much space but he can make do with what he's given.
#45 - Natural
"It's natural! Stupid cook!" Sanji's world was about to end - just how did Nami-swan know?!
#46 - Horizon
The sun's rays glimmers blindingly over the calm waters and the two of them separated slowly, ready to greet the new day.
#47 - Valiant
Sanji had put up quite a valiant effort, really, Nami commended him for it, but Nami always intended to collect. It wasn't money this time, but it was still worth it. "So," Nami narrowed obsidian eyes at the redfaced chef, "was I right?"
#48 - Virtuous
He hadn't expected his student to live a virtuous life, if a pirate even knew the meaning of the word, but when his errant student returns with one lecher in tow... He had had his reservations, but to see his disciple so happy, who was he to protest?
#49 - Victory
This passive battle they've engaged in for years culminated in victory - but for who, no one can really tell.
#50 - Defeat
His defeat, some decades later, by some dark, serious young woman wasn't a complete defeat - Zoro laughs, invites her home for dinner and looks forward to finally, finally having uninterrupted naps; Sanji smiles wistfully, some things just don't ever change.
