Summary
So Sanji starts watching.
After each workout, he hands him the glass and moves to the rail, cigarette lit, posture casual. From the corner of his eye, he watches, learning the subtle tells hidden beneath that stoic exterior. The shift in breathing, the way Zoro slows when something hits just right, whether he drinks quickly or pauses, whether he savors, whether he makes any sound at all.
Trial by trial, Sanji begins to understand his preferences: the flavors he favors, the ingredients he responds to without knowing why. Over months of quiet seas and ordinary days, the knowledge accumulates without intention.
Or, a series of seemingly self-contained moments of two proud idiots circling unspoken history.
