*. SAILOR LOST THE MEME.

Fireworks BOOM and crackle colors across the sky. The sounds of muffled laughter and dishes clattering accompany Shori as she gazes off deck, admiring the city lights. Gran Tesoro, a ship city for gamblers and pirates alike. That was an act the kunoichi herself wasn’t fond of, gambling. It’s all she ever seemed to do, with her feelings, body and very life but, it wasn’t like she knew anything different. The events of that day are on a cruel repeat, the sickening chill that ran up her spine as Tesoro’s power climbed up Zoro’s legs and abdomen, helplessness clawing at her gut as he shouted back at her to escape, the rage that clung behind her chest until she saw him again. Shori was normally so bubbly and social after a mission this big but here she was, alone as the misty breeze of the sea caresses her face. Wood creaks from behind. Shori glances back to the intimidating frame of their first mate. He remembers what she’d said back on the platform, she needed to tell him—- ( oh gods he was here already?! ) Her heart begins to pound shaking her ribs as he asks what she wanted to say. Her mouth opens to silence. She’d hoped her actions spoke loud enough to reach him but then again… this was Zoro. “ YOU— you really don’t know? Even after —-“ shori smiles to herself, he was a genius with swords, greatest swordsman of her generation meanwhile she was —- shori. ( is that enough for him ?? ) Oh gods, the way he watched her? So focused and intent on listening to each word. “ Well, there was a reason i went to get you off that platform out of everyone. i was—- i wasn’t like me while you were gone. i was just anger and agony. before you told me to stay back and it took everything sanji had just to hold me back. Zoro I—- I think I — I know… that, I love you. And..not like a crewmate. I’m sorry if this is sudden or too much i just— ” A pair of strong hands suddenly cradle her face. DOE eyes widen as she gazes up at him. The way his hardened face eased up ever so slightly as her cheeks flushed an illuminating bright pink. “ Zoro..” she breathes out his name as he closes the distance between them. Shori’s eyes widen for a moment before loosing herself in the kiss. Her eyes drift shut as her stomach flips, heartbeat pounding in her ears as she leaps up, wrapping her arms around his neck deepening the kiss. Shori’s mind races as Zoro’s hand travels up her back, holding her secure against him. The sounds of the party fade away and all she knows is Zoro. His lips are much softer than she had guessed… everything else so was rough and hardy.. but , ( @kaizokugaris ) face.. it was different.
