onepieceyaoi100I'm taking a break from work, shut up. =P
Two parter drabbles, sorta ZoLu-ish I guess.
Title: Always on the Figurehead
Rating: G
Pairing: Sort of Zoro x Luffy
Topic: Routines and Rituals
Word Count: 139
The figurehead of the Going Merry is, without a doubt, the only part of the ship that doesn’t wholly belong to Usopp.
Sometimes he’ll just sit quietly, gaze traveling far across the ocean waves that rock the ship to her next destination, and occasionally a hand comes up to finger the rough scar beneath his left cheek. There’ll be a distant smile on that wide-eyed face, a small longing grin, and then the hand drops back into his lap, unmoving.
It’s a odd habit, one that I’ve caught him doing far too many times as I watch him while lifting my weights near the figurehead, lest the idiot slip off his perch and drown himself in the ocean. Still, I’ve learnt, as the others on this ship have, that it’s best not to question the Captain’s antics too much.

Title: Always on the Figurehead Part 2

Pairing: Sort of Luffy x Zoro, maybe hinting at Shanks x Luffy?
Topic: Routines and Rituals
Word Count: 231
It’s been nearly ten years.
I don’t really do it on purpose, but sometimes it’s nice to have a reminder. Not that his hat isn’t enough of one, though.
Hmm. I was quite stupid then.
Always on the figurehead. I’d get pretty mad if anyone else but me got to sit on it. Sometimes I wonder why he hadn’t chased me off it, back then, when I’d stood there and yelled for him to look at me before stabbing my face out. I’d gotten blood on it, too.
Past, present, future.
The edges of the scar below my eye are still rough, slightly ridged, and will probably never fade.
Merry’s head, painted white wood, smooth and cool beneath my palms as she sails onward to her next destination.
The sea breeze tousles Boshi and I reach up almost automatically to press it back down over my hair. I still have to return it to Shanks. I must never lose it. Though I suppose I will need to apologize to him for getting it torn so many times. Oh well. Nami can fix that.
Zoro’s watching me again. I turn to shoot him a sudden grin and, as expected, he looks away immediately, trying hard to pretend he hasn’t been doing so. I let him go and face back toward the ocean.
I’m glad he hasn’t asked. It’d be hard to explain.
===================
I hope that made sense. @_@ It's hard to write Luffy's non-existent train of thought.
