Red, like his temper and his curry: hot, fiery and a pain in the ass.

Red, like his cheeks when Zoro tousled his hair: "What the hell are you doing bonsai head?! Quit touching me!"

Red, like his new favourite, favourite shirt: the one that replaced the one that Zoro tore all the buttons off. He pretended to mind but Zoro knew he didn't.

Red, like his lips when they made love: soft and damp, gently bitten.

Red, like the roses that Zoro left one day on his bed. Red, like Zoro's ass when he found them and turned surly.

Red, like the blood that ran from the corner of his mouth to show that he always gave his all.

Red, like Zoro's vision when he saw him in pain and had to bite his lip to stop from running.

And red, like the empty space in his chest where his heart used to be; a space filled with memories and these words:

two years
