AN~ your wish is my command

Minutiae~ (n.)the small, precise detail that makes one unique.

     "I don't have any pets I used to have a horse name Mickey."

"What happened to him?"

"The barn we kept him at sold him while I was on vacation. It's whatever thought. It was a long time ago when I was like 11 or something."

The next question was about siblings, but Zoro wanted to skip those. "Question six, what are some obsessions or hobbies you have?"

"Other than sports, I like street racing, antique collecting, and skipping rocks in the park with my little sister. How 'bout you?"

"Cooking, or course, baking, traveling, listening to music~"

"Oh I like that too."

"And words."

"Why do you like words?"

"Well, I like being able to describe everyone and everything I'm faced with. It makes things easier to understand when you can define them."

"Ok." Zoro mumbled as his hand moved the pencil frantically across the paper as if he would forget what I said within a moment's notice. The rate at which he was writing made his, barely legible handwriting, look like total chicken scratch.

Time seemed to fly by as Zoro and I got to know each other between gulps of soda and handfuls of chips, and before I knew it the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it." I shouted even thought Zoro was right next to me. I guess I was used to Zeff being yelling so I yelled.

"Pizza delivery."

"We didn't order any~ Oh hey Gin!" I laughed at the fact I didn't notice my best friend in his new Domino's uniform.

"Wow Sanji, just because we don't go to the same school doesn't mean I look like a total stranger."

"With that ridiculous uniform, I didn't notice your ugly mug for once."

"Hey! I thought my jaw line was finally coming in..." Gin sighed defeated as I grabbed my sides laughing. His 'puppy face' was not flattering. It was comical if anything.

"Yeah yeah whatever you say."

"Hey?" Gin question as he ever so slightly leaned to the side to see past me. "I thought Zeff doesn't let you have pizza?"

"He doesn't, but I have my partner for a project over, so he's just being nice. He always over pizzas when your here. That's the only reason I invite you over so much."

"Asshat."

"Whatever." I laugh as I shove Gin's hat down past his eyes.

"Hey hey you'll mess up the hair!" Gin sighed pulling away from my rough grasp. "Oh, Zeff left a comment, 'Tell Sanji Zoro's a good guy.' What's that supposed to mean?"

"Like I have any clue." I sighed, shaking my head. We both knew how odd my old man was sometimes. "Well I'll text you later, bye Gin."

"Bye." Gin said as he watched the door close infront of me, but he wasn't looking at me at all. Why was he so interested in what's inside? He had been just last week.

         "Oi, Zoro, Zeff ordered us pizza!" I cheered happily as I raced into the kitchen.

         "You don't get pizza a lot?" He asked as he reached for the biggest slice, much to my disappointment.

         "Nope. Only when people are over since it's 'unhealthy'. Since there still light out do you want to play video games or something?" I asked politely, I mean we needed personal experience with each other for the essay.

"Yeah sure, just let me call my dad first." Zoro smiled slightly, but compared to his usual monotone scowl, this was a change. And I kinda liked it. "Hey Dad, can I hang out at Sanji's for a little longer...Yes, the one I got in a fight with, how do you know about that?...Ugh Luffy. Just don't tell...ok thanks...This is why your my favorite...yeah bye!"

"Yeah I can stay." Zoro smiled wider his lips slightly slick with grease as I handed him a napkin. "I'm so glad only my dad found out or I'd be in big trouble!" Zoro wheezed dramtically.

The intimidating pair of golden eyes flashed from me memory as a fearful shiver went down my back. "I don't know, you dad seemed pretty scary to me."

Zoro seemed to tense a little at my remark, I guess he was just as scared as I was of Dr. Mihawk. I wonder how scary Zoro's mom must be. "Y-yeah."

        "Why so tense." I laughed as cracked open my third soda for the night. Automatically, coke started to spray all over my brand new school uniform. Spoiling beyond salvation of a normal washer machine:

         Zoro was flat out howling in laughter as
I began to shake my head like a wet dog. He barely managed to contain his laughter just enough so wheeze out the words, "Why so tense?"

With Zoro's eyes shut like that as the sunlight hit his face; you could see a faint scar run over his left eyebrow, perpendicular to his eyebrow. It was a minutiae, and one I couldn't help but stare at. It completed his face really. The hard, sharp features topped by the gentle, minute scar. "How you get that, that scar?"

"Oh, this one?" Zoro asked as he winked to feel the slim indent on his eyelid. "When I was 9, I wanted to show my father I was a real man, so I slit myself like this. Call me an idiot, I know."
    
        "Wow, your real brave." I chuckled as I began to pull off my coke soaked shirt and undershirt. "I'll be right back. I'm going to put this to wash."(top image of Sanji's abs)

        "Oh, um, okay." Zoro stammered slightly as he began to chug his drink like he was dieing of thrist.

        "Slow down mosshead; you might choke!" I teased as I jogged my way to the steps.

        "I wish..."
