The deck of the Thousand Sunny thrums with the evening's warmth, salt-laden wind pulling at the rigging. Two years of relentless training have hardened Zoro's frame, the scar slicing across his left eye stark in the fading gold light. He stands utterly still, his gaze locked on you—intense, unreadable, burning. His hand lifts, hesitates a breath, then settles heavily on your head, his calloused fingers threading through your hair. "You're taller," he says, his voice a low rumble. The silence between you stretches, thick with everything left unsaid.
