I'm looking at the reverse trope prompt thingy and "Soulmates who are destined to kill each other"... yeah.
Sanji knew his soulmate was supposed to kill him. He just didn't know when. You see, people are born with marks on their body, showing what your soulmate will do before you die. Some got a kiss mark on their cheek, some a hand holding their own... Sanji had a very obvious stab through the heart. Judge and his brothers always bullied him more when they remembered it was there. What kind of failure had a soulmate that wanted to kill them?
Some people had no soulmate, like his mother, Zeff, Luffy... he envied those kinds of people. He lied about not having one and if he was asked about the scar, he said it was an incident while fighting. If they didn't believe him, they didn't say anything. He always wondered who was the unlucky bastard who had to live after he had to kill his soulmate, but he tried not to think about it too much.
One soul mark he was jealous of, was Zoro's. He had a light hand cupping his cheek which meant that before him or his soulmate died, Zoro would feel the caress of his lover one last time. It was unfair how some people could be loved beyond death's restraints.
Sanji's hair slowly started turning back to blond, as he felt himself regaining control. The pain in his chest felt familiar and comforting even as he bled out. His soulmark was comforting him. He looked up at Zoro's terrified eyes, scared and shocked as if he couldn't recognize what he'd done. But all Sanji could do was smile.
His soulmate didn't hate him, it wasn't murder out of rage or hatred. No, it was an act of mercy. A promise kept.
With his last strength, he reached out to wipe his tear away.
Everything faded to black
