Rating: PG-13/G
Pairing: Not really. If you screw your eyes up and stand on your head you could maybe see hints of Z/S.
Topic: Hair
Word count: 259 (alternate ending version: 241)
A/N: I promise, no bad puns this time. Concept inspired by
dethorats' fic, Maturity. Alternate ending included, as I couldn't decide between them.
"Zoro! You'd better not have been jerking off in the shower for the last half-hour," Sanji kicked the bathroom door angrily. "Some of us actually WANT to wash. What the hell are you doing in there anyway, you stupid..."
He kicked the door again, a little too hard this time.
"Seaweed... head..." Sanji trailed off as he regarded Zoro, who had frozen with the incriminating bottle in his hands when the door smashed open.
The two men stared at each other for a few seconds. Zoro unfroze and opened his mouth to swear, but Sanji spoke first.
"You DYE your HAIR??!!!" He blurted out incredulously.
Zoro snarled and threw the bottle of hair dye down to the floor. "Shut up."
"You actually DELIBERATELY MAKE YOUR HAIR THAT COLOUR???!!!"
"I said, SHUT UP!"
"You mean you really WANT to be a seaweed head?" Sanji's voice cracked on the last few words and he clutched at his throat.
Zoro flushed. "I wanted to make my hair darker. It was a mistake the first time, but then I just kinda got used to it."
"Darker?" Sanji raised his eyebrow. "So what's your natural shade then?"
"Blonde. Same colour as yours."
"Same colour as..." Sanji stared at him disbelievingly.
Zoro dropped the towel around his waist and Sanji stared. Same colour. He and Zoro had the exact same colour hair. They could pass for brothers.
There was a long pause.
"You missed a spot just above your left ear."
"Damn, really?"
"Yeah. Want me to help you with that?"
"That would be good."
Alternate ending
"You mean you really WANT to be a seaweed head?" Sanji's voice cracked on the last few words and he clutched at his throat.
Snarling, Zoro turned the water on full and dunked his head under the spray to wash the last remnants of dye away, before stalking through the broken door and past the flabberghasted cook. Sanji watched him go in shock, and it was some minutes before he regained enough sense to move into the bathroom, where the empty dye bottle caught his attention. He picked it up and glanced at the label.
"'Tawny gold'. Tawny gold??!!! WHAT THE HELL NATURAL COLOUR GOES GREEN WITH TAWNY GOLD???!!!"

Date: 2005-11-03 10:37 am (UTC)You can read it that way too, but I always kinda liked the idea as being that Zoro's natural hair colour is something even WEIRDER than green (like say, royal blue or aubergine) and that green was the most normal he's ever managed to get it. :) I'm a bit strange that way.
