celebrating new years
Sirius:"regulus stop lying!"
Regulus:"I'M NOT"
James:"give it up Reggie, everyone knows that you love Remus more than you love all the gryffindors combined"
Regulus:"THAT IS SOOOO NOT TRUE"
Regulus:*puts a hand on Remus's shoulder*
Regulus:"I love all of you Remus and not Remus's equally"
Sanji looking at the beautiful new grand piano and playing out a lazy tune from his childhood. He didn't sit down to play, just casually, one hand in pocket, singular notes. Much to his surprise, Brook called for him, saying something along the lines of "Oh how wonderful, you play, play some more!"
Sanji denied playing. Saying it was just that his mother used to play and this was one of her favorite songs. He learned to play at the Baratie because he felt the lyrics and melody got him closer to her.
Now Brook was even more insistent on Sanji playing the song. And finally, he obliged. He sat down and started playing the beginning of the most heart-wrenchingly sad song Brook had heard. He quickly picked up on the song and grabbed his violin. The melody filled the ship, the rest of the crew gathered one by one around the door. But no one wanted to interrupt so they just sat there, listening behind the closed door.
And then Sanji started singing something in a foreign language. No one really knew what it was about but it sounded so solemn and melancholic that they could all guess it wouldn't be appropriate to ask.
i havent had anybody bounce and moan on it since.... (a haunted look flashes across my face) the incident.
This was my request fill for the One Piece Fanwork Exchange back in April that I posted on AO3. The zosan prompt was "two pining idiots"
I've been debating for months whether to post it on tumblr since long vertical comics often don't look good in the thumbnails, still not sure I'm too happy with that bit.
Not sure if I’m going to explain this well but imagine an AU where people can see others eye colors the more they care about the person (because eyes are the window to the soul). The more they care, the more their eyes fill in with their actual color.
Luffy sees almost everyone’s true eye color after one friendly conversation, especially those who he helps. He realizes Zoro’s eyes are still gray after a few days, but he notices that the gray is precise and intentional. Luffy can see the slightly darkened patches mixing with the lighter colors almost immediately.
Zoro, on the other hand, rarely sees anyone’s eyes at their actual color. There are a few people who have gotten some light shades of color, but nobody at their real color. The last person’s eyes who he truly saw was Kuina’s, and he has no intention of adding to that list.
But he notices the slight shifts in his crew mates eyes as he spends more time with them. Luffy’s eyes grow darker every day, and Nami’s eventually start to turn a soft brown. Robin’s eyes immediately lighten to a sky blue after Enies Lobby. Chopper and Usopp’s eyes turn to a dark gray as they travel through Alabasta. But that damn cook’s eyes stay the neutral shade he saw with almost everyone he encountered before joining the Strawhats.
Until one day he wakes up from training and there are rice balls next to him, freshly made. He hadn’t remembered telling the cook about his enjoyment of rice balls. It must’ve been a lucky guess.
The next day, he gets rice balls again. And when he finally storms to see that damn cook, he’s met with crystal blue orbs staring back at him. Zoro suddenly lost his ability to curse and belittle, finally understanding why all of the crew secretly whisper about Sanji’s eyes when he’s not around.
Sanji, though, is frustrated. Zoros eyes are the first ones in his life he can’t see, and he’s angry. He knows this stupid swordsman. Zoro hates chocolate, but loves rice-even more so in ball form. His swords mean everything to him, and Sanji knows his exact routine every day.
He would never admit it, but Sanji did care about Zoro. He cared about everyone, except for people who were rude or hurt ladies. And while Zoro was brash and abrasive, he wasn’t rude. So why couldn’t Sanji see his eye color?
Finally he asks. There aren’t many people he can trust, but Robin will be honest with him. And she’s the least likely to make fun of him.
“Robin-Chan,” he starts, and she can hear how nervous he is. “Do you know what color Zoro’s eyes are?”
Robin stifles a laugh. “I’m surprised you can’t see them, Sanji. Do you really hate him that much?”
“No, I-!”
“They’re gray.” Robin said. “I thought there was something wrong with me too. But they’re just gray. Look a bit closer next time, and you’ll see they’re not quite the same shade they used to be.”
Sanji follows her advice, and subtly stares at Zoros eyes when he thinks the swordsman won’t notice.
“Do you mind?” A pink blush dusts across Zoro’s face when he realizes the cook is staring. “I’m trying to focus here.”
“Your eyes would be a shitty gray color, so nobody would know when they actually started caring about you!” Sanji’s cheeks were getting pink too, and both of them ignoring the other’s blush.
Zoro cocked an eyebrow. “Do you care about me, cook?”
“Like hell!”
Had a vision thought y’all would enjoy it
