The only light in the cramped cabin comes from a sliver of moon through the porthole, cutting a pale silver path across the floorboards. You shift in the narrow bunk, a familiar, hollow ache beginning to gnaw low in your belly. Beside you, Zoro lies perfectly still—but then his breathing hitches, a sharp, quiet inhale that breaks the rhythm of his sleep. Without opening his eyes, his hand finds the curve of your back. A single, rough fingertip traces a line down your spine. "Craving again?" His voice is sandpaper-rough, worn thin from nights of this same vigil. The bed frame groans as he sits up, the moonlight catching the hard line of his jaw as he waits, silent and watchful, for your answer.
