Apr. 23rd, 2006 09:55 pmOkay, so I went and expanded on [Macho Idiocy] some. Below I've reposted the original fiction, followed by two more, so that you can read it all as one long drabble.
All three are written in different "styles", so if you start getting confused, you can totally blame me for being incoherrent.
Title: Macho Idiocy (Part 1)
Topic: Crush
Word Count: 163
Rating: G
Pairing: Offscene!Sanji x Zoro
They stared as Zoro walked straight into the mast. Again.
“Oi,” Usopp muttered, casting shifty eyes to Nami from their perch near the mikan trees, “is he okay? That’s got to be the fifth time this afternoon.”
“Maybe his sense of direction just got worse.”
The swordsman cursed, swore loudly that he hadn’t been absorbed in his thoughts, that he wasn’t thinking about the stupid love cook, and that someone obviously had been moving the mast around. Then opened the hatch to the men’s quarters, got one rung down, then fell through the rest of the way when his hands slipped. There were very loud, very painful crashing and cracking sounds that could only be Zoro’s head successfully hitting all the rungs on the way down before meeting the floor.
“Ooh. Ow. Ow ow.” Usopp winced, appreciatively. “That musta hurt.”
“I’M GOING TO KILL THAT STUPID LOVE COOK OW!”
“He could have been a little less blatant about his denial, though.”
“Mm hm.”
Title: Macho Idiocy (Part 2)
Topic: Crush
Word Count: 300
Rating: PG-15 for the usual swearing.
Pairing: StillStraight!Sanji x Zoro
AN: Not a very happy bit. You've been warned.
“Out with it, shitty swordsman. I don’t have all day.”
“What?”
“You being a blind oaf the entire morning. And afternoon. And night. And from what Usopp said, has something to do with me.”
“Usopp’s a liar.”
“Not all the time. Spill it.”
Squeak of wooden table leg against wooden deck, groan of wood accommodating shifting weight. Hesitant silence.
“…fine. Be all secretive, locked-up and angsty over this, I’m going to bed.”
No retort, except the grinding of teeth, a heated glare at the refrigerator, fisted hands by his sides. Shoes striding smartly past the swordsman in languid steps.
“…wait.”
Footsteps halting near the exit. Smirking as he turns to face the other, muffled thump of back resting against the door. “Aunt Agony’s all ears.”
Scowl. Tentative step forward. Still keeping his glare on the refrigerator. “I… I, uh…”
Snort. Rolling his eyes, hand pushing the handle, a squeak as the galley door swings open. “Night, shithead.”
“Asshole! I – I li…”
“Hmmm?” Pause, cock of eyebrow, slight twist in the torso to casually regard the other – before he’s staggering backwards, swordsman in his face, right there, heated breath gusting across skin, practically able to count every individual eyelash on the other’s eyelids, what tastes like rum and traces of dinner as taste buds mesh, realizing just how chapped Zoro’s lips are against his own.
Hard, shocked shove. More staggering. “The fuck, asshole?!” Not so cocky now, panting, gaze wild.
Suddenly realizes that… oh, fuck, the fucker’s serious, not a stupid joke – not the type to pull jokes. Fuck. They’d just – shit, fuck, fuck. This wasn’t right.
Meets the other’s gaze and looks away immediately, can feel the bile starting to rise and clamps his lips together, then turns, shoes echoing loudly across the deck in a run.
Zoro hisses. “Shit.”
Title: Macho Idiocy (Part 3)
Topic: Crush
Word Count: 195
Rating: PG-13 for the usual swearing
Pairing: SanjiZoro
“Um. Oi... Shithead.”
Zoro instantly tenses at the other’s voice. It’s the first sentence any of them have exchanged since The Incident.
“What.”
A scowl. “Dinner, you ungrateful asshole.”
“Not hungry.”
Sanji boots the idiot in the side. Zoro “Gargh!”s, then finally whirls around to glare. “I said I wasn’t hungry, bastard! Which part of that sentence don’t you comprehend?!”
“It’s which part of your brain I don’t get, dumbass. Starving yourself for three days doesn’t make efficient training. And Luffy’s been whining about your missing presence during mealtimes.”
“Che. I’ve lasted longer than this.” Zoro turns back, resumes lifting his weights. “Go the fuck away.”
There’s a sudden loud, rumbling sound, and Zoro begins clanking his weights faster. Sanji smirks, and doesn’t move except to switch his balance to the other foot.
Ten seconds later Zoro gives. “Fuck you.”
Sanji holds out the plate. Zoro starts stuffing his face.
“…Oi.”
“Grm?”
“…” Sanji switches his gaze to the ocean, smoking quietly. “…Next time, try not to be so damn blatant, eh? Stupid asshole.”
It’s only after the blond has disappeared back into the galley that Zoro realizes he wasn’t talking about his stomach growling.

how can shoes stride smartly in languid steps? there seems to be a conflict in how Sanji's walking...
Sorry, its just one of those things that always bother me and it probably is just me that this gets to, but I can't seem to imagine how someone can stride languidly...
Anyway... I really like them otherwise... ^_^ so please ignore me...

You write one of the best ZoSan. I like the part where Zoro stumbles into everything too.
