If I Look Happy, It's Because I'm Thinking About Them

zolu hc that they can never kiss properly because luffy always smiles/giggles when they smooch no matter what because hes just so happy and zoro just has to accept this

Friends to Lovers trope is so beautiful

The subtle hinting is because you want them to know, but don't you want them to know because what if it ruins your friendship? The admiring each other from across the room. Admiring each other's strengths and accepting each other's weaknesses. Knowing everything about each other even before dating. Laughing at tale-old jokes only you two could understand. Being in love with someone you already have so much love for. Not having to completely start from the very start with them. No need for grand gestures because simply being in each other’s presence is enough. How beautiful it is to find trust, loyalty, understanding, and companionship—all in one person.

And when love blossoms from that foundation, it feels like the most beautiful and natural thing in the world.

Yes, I'm talking about them

A comm for the lovely, amazing @swordsmans

Easily one of my favorite things about Zoro and Luffy (not necessarily in a shipping context, though *I* enjoy them in a shipping context) is the way they seem so different on a surface level - this whimsical sunshine boy captain and his big, stoic, serious right hand man - but when you actually get to know them, they’re pretty much two halves of the same weird goddamn idiot

Specifically, I love that whenever Luffy is doing / saying something totally absurd, there’s a not insignificant chance that we’re about to cut to Zoro, whether he’s two steps away or halfway across the island, doing the exact same unhinged shit, and it’s so goddamn funny every time???
