Those hands—Zoro’s hands, callused, warm, large, and salty. Hands for holding swords, hands for pleasuring and hands for comforting; whatever Luffy needed, Zoro was there to give.

This time, hands for bandaging.

“Why don’t you get Chopper to do it?” Zoro grumped while cleaning the recent battle-made wounds on Luffy’s unclothed belly, his muscled, severely tense back.

“I wanted you to do it,” said Luffy, sounding happy and a bit sleepy. “Zoro’s hands always make me feel better!”

Hands for loving and fixing, hands for caring and doctoring, hands for touching and healing.

“I wanted you to do it, like we did a while ago.” Luffy smiled back at Zoro as the swordsman decorated him with salve and band-aids. “You know, when there wasn’t a doctor and if we needed help, you and me helped each other.”

“Before Nami and any of the others joined?”

“Back then, you and me were alone and the only ones who ever got hurt.”

Zoro nodded his head, silent, as he understood.

Still quiet, he unrolled fresh gauze and reached around Luffy’s thin torso. As his hands worked deftly, he placed whispy powdered sugar-like kisses, gentle and erotic, on Luffy’s naked and beckoning neck, shoulders, back.

Hands for defending and protecting. Hands for communicating feelings.

Zoro finished wrapping Luffy’s belly, turning his captain fully to face him, pushing Luffy to sit in his lap.

Hands for fucking and foreplay, hands for claiming and wanting and choosing.

He, staring in those determined and ruthlessly optimistic eyes, used those warm and rough hands to hold the sides of Luffy’s face, pulling him closer as they kissed, deeper and deeper.

Hands for holding, hands for rescue, hands for his captain – his captain, alone and only.

Whatever was desired, Zoro was happy to give Luffy his hands.
