    Summary

    As she approached the actually rather unremarkable looking young man, she felt a swell of doubt. Was he really who she’d thought he was? Spider-Man had been a giant of a man, someone she could easily imagine at the front of her train, gripping hundreds of webs with power enough to crush the train car into the shape of his body.

    This boy looked barely able to carry his overstuffed backpack. With his Oxford shirt and jeans and neatly combed hair, he could have been the poster child for a 1950s science scholarship. Not someone you imagined facing down an eight-armed psychopath on a speeding train.

    Half convinced she’d imagined the whole thing, Maggie crossed the diner and stepped up to his table. After a moment he noticed her, lifting his attention from an open book full of equations and cracker crumbs to look right at her.

    All doubt vanished when Maggie looked into his blue eyes and round face. It was him. No question. It was Spider-Man, right here at her table, waiting to order breakfast from her.

    Summary

    “I’m not a pushover,” Zoro says, because this is important. He needs Sanji to know this. “I don’t let anyone tell me what to do, normally.” Before - before Luffy. And Zoro hadn’t realised that he was waiting for this, for someone to come along who was worthy of being his captain and commanding his loyalty. He didn’t realise how it would settle him, right to his core, like the weight of a perfectly balanced sword in his hand.

    “Believe me,” Sanji says, “I know.”

    “I’m not weak.”

    He laughs. “No fucking shit. Some day I swear you’re going to cut the goddamn ocean in half.”

    Zoro huffs a little laugh of his own and settles further into Sanji’s grip, a tension he didn’t realise he was carrying dissipating from his shoulders.

    “I like it,” he admits, quietly. “I like that it hurts.”

    Sanji’s eyes are softer than Zoro’s ever seen them. “I know that, too,” he says.

    Summary

    All sword practice and not enough stretching make Zoro a man with some bad muscle tension, so Sanji offers to give him a massage.

    Summary

    When he meets the one of the waiters of the Baratie, Zoro knows the precarious balance he established for himself won't last long - especially when the world comes crashing down. He's not scared of death, not really. He's just scared of telling his captain.

    TLDR; Zoro is horrible at feelings, kinda agoraphobic and needs anxiety meds, and Sanji can't say no to pretty men, especially when they're a little rugged and demented.
