ZoSan where Zoro doesn’t really understand what his relationship with Sanji is.
++
They argue and bicker a lot but he doesn’t really feel any hatred towards the other man. Sanji flirts a lot and Zoro finds it amusing, especially with how everyone rejects him. They bicker even more at that, Zoro usually laughs and Sanji gets embarrassed so he’ll argue back that Zoro doesn’t pull anyone either. And Zoro just lets it go because he genuinely doesn’t care. He has never been interested in being in a relationship.
But then, one time, Sanji actually pulls someone. For what seems to be the first time, he isn’t being rejected.
And Zoro doesn’t understand why but he doesn’t like it. He doesn't understand why or how this should be any of his business, but he can’t keep himself from thinking about it.
He thinks about Sanji kissing them, holding their hand or their waist. And he hates it — a weird, heated, feeling building up inside him.
Jealousy.
He recognizes it because he’s felt it before, but never in that situation. He felt jealousy with Kuina when she was better than him with swords, for example. But it quickly went away as it changed into respect towards her, and determination for him to get better.
This time it doesn’t go away though. He still thinks about Sanji and his partner, and he still deeply hates it.
It's only then that he realizes what it means, what their relationship and the way they act mean. And more importantly, it’s only then that he realizes that he might not be as straight as he thought he was.
