    Summary

    “You’re lucky, Zoro,” she had spat, eyes turned up towards the sky, like she was trying to hold in tears. He'd never seen Kuina cry before. He’d never seen any expression on her face other than her teeth gritted in determination or her grinning in victory. “I want to be the greatest swordsman too. But girls grow up, and their bodies become weaker than men's. I’m never going to be the greatest.”

    Kuina tells him this, and Zoro can barely comprehend the words she’s saying. He thinks of the countless hours he’s spent training by the river bed, the green locks of his hair left on the floor after Koushirou helped him shear it all off, of the people he thought of as family a lifetime ago calling him by a name he despised. Zoro puts a hand to his chest, where he’d hastily wrapped bandages earlier that day, remembering how his body had begun changing and he didn’t understand why-

    “You’re lucky to have been born a man, Zoro,” Kuina finishes lamely.

    Zoro sees red.

    Summary

    “Oi,” he calls instead, his voice loud in the still night, making him wince. “Marimo?”

    There’s no response, and Sanji shakes his head. Reluctantly, he reaches out to prod at Zoro’s leg, his fingers dipping in amongst the rumbled fabric of his pants until he finds the hard muscle of his thigh.

    “Marimo,” he tries again, jabbing at Zoro a little rougher. “Marimo.”

    Zoro lets out a chest rumbling snore in response.

    Or, after suffering from a nightmare, Sanji finds solace in Zoro's, albeit unassuming, arms.

    Summary

    “Marimo,” Sanji greets, his voice raspy from disuse. “I thought you were on watch tonight.”

    “I am.” Zoro seems too hesitate for a moment, as if deciding his words carefully. “I heard movement and came down to see what it was.”

    Sanji raises an eyebrow, lifting up the blanket that is definitely the one they keep up in the crows nest, the familiar bright red of its wool dulled in the dark. “So this is meant to be a weapon then?”

     

    Or, five nights they talked, and the one night they confessed.

    It was obvious to Nami that there was something going on between their cook and their swordsman. What that something was she neither had nor wanted details for, if it even was anything beyond the longing looks she’d seen from both of them.

    Summary

    “How can I help them?” Zoro cried, letting Kuina wrap him into a tight hug as they watched the path of the bruises marching along Zoro's skin.

    “Write something to them, write something to show them they’re not alone,” Kuina said.  Without thinking, without planning, Zoro grabbed a pen and scrawled out on his arm: “I am your soulmate.  I am here.  You are not alone.  I’m going to help you.”
