Distress Signals: Mayday...
Mar. 8th, 2006 11:58 pmSo much for studying...
How does this plotbunny keep mugging me? SNAFU was supposed to be a one shot.
paxnirvana, I humbly apologize. This is the best I can do.

Mayday
Stupid asshole.
There were times when Zoro missed waking up with the stupid love-cook spooned against him. The extra warmth made his naps much more enjoyable, and although Sanji was rather bony to lean against, the rhythm of his heartbeat and the gentle murmur of his voice were the most soothing sleep aides he’d ever found.
All of this is your fault.
There were times when Sanji missed the sight of the swordsman’s cocky, confident grin right before Zoro kissed him. The knowledge that he would always be met with an equal and opposing force, constantly pushing and pulling at him for more, was one of the best motivators he’d ever found.
You stupid bastard, you actually made me sorry.
Zoro found himself reaching out for the warmth that was missing in the middle of the night.
Sanji found himself searching for the smile that was never directed to him anymore.
I miss you.
Luffy locked them both in the anchor deck and told them he wasn’t letting them out until they “kissed and made up”, and that it was “Captain’s Orders”. They sat in dead silence facing opposite sides of the room. Neither of them bothered to complain that they sat with their backs touching.
Zoro, unsurprisingly, fell asleep.
I love you.
Sanji kissed words he couldn’t say into sea-green hair and covered the sleeping man with his jacket.
Zoro curled around the empty space in his arms and kissed words he couldn’t say into the coat.
The swordsman woke a few hours later, and the cook and his coat were both gone.
I’m sorry.
“Hey.”
“Hey.”
“Look, I’m—“ Both men started at the same time.
“Marines!” Usopp yelled from outside.
They shared a look. Later, there would be time to say it.
Later.

*blinks* Did I make you not study?! *bows* So sorry!

If it's our dorky boys vs. my dorky textbook, the boys are going to win every time.

Date: 2006-03-10 08:02 am (UTC)Yes, I enjoyed it v. much.
The icon is from Saiyuki Reload. (technically season 3) There's a entire series of little short outtakes at the end of each episode called "Urasais" (Shut up being Sanzo's very favorite word) and in that one Sanzo has apparently tied and bound Gojyo up to prevent him from stopping Sanzo's "cheating" in a game that Goku and Hakkai are playing.
These are of course the little moments that make slashers hearts fill with terrible glee. Take it if you want to, just credit "telophase" as she iconed that little moment of crack.

*le-sigh* Man-angst. It's a wonderful thing, isn't it? *snerks*
