41. Comfort food for Zoro my fave one piece character
yesss i love zoro!! the prompt is comfort food :)
~~
The weird thing about Sanji (well, one of the many, many weird things about Sanji) is that he never actually asked them their favorite foods. He never even talks about it, really. But when Nami comes on deck with shadows under her eyes from a night of bad dreams, Sanji makes tangerine sauce with lunch, and when Usopp looks shakier than usual, Sanji catches fresh fish.
Zoro doesn't know how he knows. Cook's instinct, maybe? Or maybe he's got some kind of devil fruit he isn't telling them about, but Zoro's seen him swim, so that doesn't make sense, either.
The point is: there's an island, and a battle, and Zoro is fine, really, but there's a lot of blood, and he just wants to fall asleep on the deck, but then Sanji shows up and puts a plate next to him without saying a word, and Zoro doesn't even look at it, really, just shoves the food into his mouth and-
It's a rice ball. It's a rice ball, and it's the simplest food, far below Sanji's standards, but Zoro has to stop and breathe before he can eat the next one. He doesn't even know why, why this simple thing makes something settle in his chest, but it always has, and he's never said that. He's never said that, but here is a collection of perfect rice balls sitting on a plate next to him, and maybe this whole crew thing is working out okay after all.
(send me a micro-fiction prompt!)
