( it's a question that zoro could answer a million different ways β because everything feels wrong right now without him and sanji, without nami and sanji, without zoro and nami and sanji. there's a moment when he meets her bright blue eyes that it all almost comes pouring out of him: the messages. the pleading. the kiss, the confessions, before β the end. what's wrong? )
Nothing, ( he says instead, which he immediately knows sounds like absolute fucking bullshit, but what else can he say? there's no point in bringing it up here and now because he thinks he'd rather die than get nami even more pissed off at sanji, widening the rift between them.
instead, a hand reaches to tip nami's chin up so zoro can press his lips against hers, a kiss that's soft at first, but β the memory of sanji's mouth on his is still fresh, sugarette smoke and the salty tang of tears lingering on his tongue, and he wants it gone. his hand drops to her lower back, fingers flexing as he pulls her flush against him, head canting to deepen the kiss, suddenly greedy. it's ... a little unlike him, usually letting nami take the lead, but it's all a distraction, he thinks β though whether he's trying to distract nami or himself is anybody's guess.
the collar ends up pressed against nami's hand, a wordless request. please? )
