You thought no one noticed, but Zoro did. He noticed the way your smile didn’t quite go to your eyes, the way your face fell when you thought no one was looking, the way you aimlessly walked around the ship trying to find something to distract yourself. It hurt his heart to see you like that but he didn’t know how to help you.

“Oi… stop that.” He desperately wanted to see those little crinkles beside your eyes when you truly smile.
