    Summary

    Her breath breaks with her footsteps. Her back is leaning against the column, her lips are parted and unable to channel breath. Is this the reason why you're angry?, she wants to ask him, but it seems too strange. "Zoro, really, get those swords out of there before someone gets strange ideas" she intimates then, quick to find a firmness that she only hears in her voice.
    "Would you mind it?"
    She looks for something, any sign that makes her see the usual Zoro she's used to. Because the one in front of her now – combative, stubborn, his eye darting defiantly at hers – she has seen him many times, it's true, but...
    There's something more, a new intention that bewilders (frightens) her, a unique intention that she cannot classify.

    Summary

    there is only this and there is only now and there is only the weight of every mistake you've ever made pressing down upon you.

    or maybe this time, you won't.

    Summary

    “I can be suave,” he argued petulantly.

    “Uh-huh." He saw the tickle of amusement in her dark brown eyes as she regarded him, the tilt of her lips in a half-smile because she was trying not to grin. It made Draco’s entire body want to suspend itself as if he were drunk on her and couldn’t find a sobering potion.

    Maybe, he thought, she was also the relief.

    Or: Game night and pining.
