    Summary

    Zoro doesn’t much like tea, but Sanji, Sanji looks as if this is the best thing he’s had in a while. The first flavourful thing he’s had in his body in days. His shoulders ease, his eyes flutter shut, not in the way they have the past couple days that sends a shiver or a panic through Zoro, it’s in a blissful, content way. And Zoro feels content within himself.

    “Why are you up?” Sanji asks, finally breaking the silence when about half of his cup of tea is gone.

    “You weren’t in your bed” Zoro answers, his eye still trained towards his saucer on the table.

    Following a vivid nightmare triggered by a passing resemblance to a dark chapter from his past, Sanji, the Straw Hat Pirates' devoted cook, finds himself spiralling into a dangerous cycle of self-sacrifice.

    Haunted by the memory of starvation and fearing he might fail his crew, Sanji begins to secretly ration his own food, eventually cutting himself out of the meal plan entirely to ensure his friends never go hungry. As the days pass, the physical and mental toll of his choices begins to show, leading to uncharacteristic stumbles and a fading presence that does not go unnoticed by his crew, especially Zoro.
