    Summary

    “Hey there, handsome.”

    The voice is female and the words mark the beginning of an interaction Zoro wishes he weren't about to have. “Sorry, lady, you're barking up the wrong tree.”

    Or

    When Zoro starts getting hit on by every woman in a ten foot radius, he doesn't handle it very well. When Sanji gets assigned to make sure he doesn't cause an incident, he doesn't handle that very well either.

    Summary

    “You’re not—” He pauses for a moment. “You’re not looking at me. Zoro. Can you…”

    Oh. Shit.

    “I can’t see.” Now that he’s noticed, it’s very obvious.

    Zoro loses his eyesight to a devil fruit user. He thinks it's all right. Sanji, for some reason, doesn't.

    Summary

    The thing is Zoro does not like Sanji very much and that animosity has only grown in leaps and bounds over the months they have traveled together.

    But he has tried very hard to put all that aside as they are still members of the same crew and Zoro doesn’t think he should be fantasizing about choking him out.

    **

    In which Zoro gets a lot of boners, thinks about doing various things to Sanji, and takes a while to piece it together.
