Title: Orchid
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: pissy Sanji/Zoro
Word Count: 206
Topic: Flowers

When Sanji came across a brilliant grotto of tropical flowers, he only thought a moment before turning off the path and gathering the most glorious into a bouquet. Something was necessary to lift his spirits, and nothing would do that better than the melodious thanks of Nami-san and Robin-chan.

They had run into each other an hour before; Sanji had tackled him, intent on payback for last week in the galley. He had grabbed the shitty swordsman, twisted him around, and began fumbling with his haramaki. "Fuckin' hell --" Zoro had spat, then a hiss, and a gasp.

Beautiful flowers for beautiful ladies; two dazzling orchids with sweet mellow curves and supple skin --

hard muscle, unforgiving angles, the rough scrape of battle-calloused hands --

Sanji trotted back, down towards the ship, bearing armloads of

thorns, biting into hips and shoulders, nectar dripping from the treetops to land on glistening bodies --

jungle blooms for his flowers that were, no doubt

toes curling, eyes clenched, a long-winded moan --

waiting for their afternoon cocktails on the upper deck.

spent but not lingering, pulling slacks and shirts on, muttering and cursing --

Their smiles will bloom when they see their Sanji-kun running up the gangplank.

"Fuckin' thorn in my side, sword-boy."

Splendid. Absoulutly splendid. I thank you for sharing that. Flawless. I've no words of praise adequate enough to add.

Oh... wow. Wonderful. I love the crossovers and the dialogue and everything.

Heehee, sword-boy. XD

The most insulting thing Sanji could think of. :3 And thanks!

Ohhhh, shiny! I liked how well the descriptions bled into each other and thought it was interesting how totally unaffected each description seemed by the other. Like Sanji manages to keep Zoro and the girls in separate parts of his brain... even though they're running together here...

I guess I don't know why I walked away with that feeling. Maybe because each part reads so smoothly separately? ^_^;; Anyway, prettiness. I was wondering why -san, -chan, and -kun were italicized though, does it have something to do with the fact that it's not -swan, and -chwan?

Isn't that what you're supposed to do with Japanese titles in English? I've seen a few people writing their drabbles like that...

And haha, yeah. He's getting distracted on his mission. x3

Awesome. I love the flowers being mentioned here.

"Fuckin' thorn in my side, sword-boy."

So much love for this line and its double meanings.

[lacquerdragon.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I was actually debating whether to leave that line in or not. I'm glad I did. :)

brilliant - I love that kind of duality in writing. really nice flow, beautiful imagery (in both parts!).

I need to get OPY100 on my watched list - I am almost missing stuff like this?? This cannot be.
