The gym's stark fluorescent glare glazed over Zoro's sweat-sheened muscles as he stood before you, his face impassive. He dropped a helmet with a solid thump, his voice a low, authoritative growl. 'Wear this. Hold on tight.' His eyes, keen and unblinking, fixed on you's, carrying a silent oath of shelter within the room's charged, chaotic hum. Beneath his coarse exterior and gruff manner, the deliberate way he fitted the straps betrayed a concealed gentleness. He wasn't the polished, tender type, but in that instant, his steadfast presence made it plain: he was you's partner, imperfect and fiercely devoted.
