Summary: Absence makes the ears grow sharper.
A/N: The original drabble had a lot less yaoi and quite a few more words. Not my best work, but the word limit had me viciously pruning it at 1 in the morningso I hope it's easy enough to understand because ds;dj09eksd I murdered the content to make it fit. First post on this comm~ ^^
A creak on the floorboards warned him of someone hiding somewhere within the room. It would have gone unnoticed amongst the many noises of the Merry-at-sea had it not been followed by a gracious thunk and some soft swearing.
The hammocks swung in-tandem behind him. Zoro listened to their well-oiled bolts as they accompanied the sound of the waves rushing against the sides of the ship. The morning was as calm as a flat, summer breeze.
There was the sound of pen on paper as Nami worked in her room and the chink of porcelain in the kitchen as Sanji prepared lunch. Chopper was clomping along on deck, following the whirr of something mechanical—Usopp. Only Robin wasn’t making any noise, Zoro’s mind providing the sound of pages turning in her hands.
But there was that missing noise filtering them out like a black spot against the stark, white sunshine. Zoro’s senses sorely missed that silhouette in his minds eye, and he was sure that that was what caught his attention in the first place.
The creak, he figured, was just evidence furthering his suspicions.
And that figure behind the couch?
Grab.
Pull.
Flop.
Pout. “Awwwwww, how’d you know I was there?”
Zoro rolled his eyes; his captain snuck in to cuddle every time they had a still breeze and a free afternoon. Dark eyes shut and large hands came to rest on the boy’s hips. “Doesn’t matter. Now shut up, I’m trying to sleep.”
A soft, sad sigh on his neck was Luffy’s only response and Zoro felt a twinge of guilt at having brushed off his captain. In fact, he was about to open his eyes just to make sure when Luffy spoke up.
“Zoro…”
Gulp.
“…Yeah?”
“You’d tell me if you had superpowers, right?”
“…”
“…Zoro?”
