Fics like tenderly, tragically

Luffy stares at him, his gaze like an open book, and Zoro feels his breath hitch. If Luffy notices then he doesn’t say anything about it, still continuing to stare at Zoro with parted lips, waiting and barely holding back. A moment that has already been played out before, and the conclusion is just the same as it was years ago. Zoro steps back, puts a good distance between them. One man wears his heart on his sleeve, open and free, unafraid to let his wants be known; the other man has his tucked away, hidden and restrained, too afraid to be vulnerable despite what he feels.
