All right, I'll bite...
Feb. 2nd, 2006 12:14 pmI'm entering this week's contest. I've been wanting to do something for the OPY community again and I figured this was a nice, easy, before-work way of doing so.
Title: From this Perspective
Rating: R for implications
Word Count: 255
Pairing: AcexSanji
Topic: Sanji's Left Eye
Again, and for what had to have been the fourth time, Sanji felt the big fingers with their unfortunately bitten nails play at his hair, smoothing its sweat-marred layers, arranging it to the side of his face and behind his ear. He could only glare up, sight trained on his bedmate, whose mannerisms in post-coital nearness were beginning to make him wonder.
"Are you always this touchy?" Sanji mumbled, not really moving his lips. He was tired. He was naked. He was physically not going anywhere after all that.
"Not really," Ace said, finally removing his hand from Sanji's face and balling it into a fist on which to set his chin, "I was just wondering if anyone else onboard knows about that little secret of yours."
An expression that suggested irritation came to every feature of Sanji's face as he shook his head on the pillow to move some hair back over the unsightly, but not completely hideous, scar that left him blind in his left eye. It was something he'd rather not talk about. Especially with this transient shipmate, his transient lover…
He didn't quite let the words "mistake" slip from his lips when communicating his unease at the situation to Ace, but when he turned onto his left side to imply without words that he most certainly wanted to topic to be dropped, his only response was: "I suppose this is the exact reason I usually don't go in for the whole 'sharing a bed' thing."
Ace gave half of a chuckle.

This is a great piece and yet another example of how you have all but perfected the art of the drabble. You brought a subtle depth to the topic, gave plausibilty to a slightly crack pairing (that I happen to love, many hearts for that), and on top of all that you made my writer chibi weep tears of joy.
