Summary
“Anyway,” Zoro continued amid Sanji’s silence, “I’m not going to die.”
Sanji made a scoffing sound. “You can’t just decide that, asshole,” he said, tying off the thread. He trailed his fingertips over the jagged seam, checking for any imperfections. “You can’t cheat death.”
“We’ll see.”
To Sanji, Zoro is an enigma. An infuriating one, but one he is drawn to nonetheless. For as much self-assurance Zoro appears to have, Sanji has about as much self-doubt. If he can just understand what goes on inside that mossy head of his, maybe he can figure a few things out about himself as well.
Discovering that there might be something other than rivalry brewing between them, is something Sanji isn't quite prepared for.
(Rated M for explicit language, canon-typical violence and sexual content for later chapters).

Summary
The one thing Sanji had learned during his thirteen years of existence was that death creeped in slowly and quietly. It festered in infected wounds deep underground, in mold that rotted one’s insides upon being consumed. It hid in the pain of a rapidly shrinking stomach, in blood and scraped out bones and sunburnt skin. Death was always there, if someone was observant enough to notice it.
__
When the Baratie gets attacked, Sanji has to grapple with his thoughts on death and belonging. As hopelessness consumes him, someone is there to prove him wrong.
