I love Zoro's realization and reaction to the shirt. His expression was awesome!

Good read.

[sakurazuka_jae]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

(And it looks so good on him too :-)

REAL MEN DON'T SHOP!

Lol, yeah, I love Zoro's method for getting clothes too ^__^ And the sleep installment plan made me giggle. Ahh, but the ending was great, slightly bittersweet, and yet hopeful. I love the double-meaning; there's a deeper reason Zoro took that shirt - the one that made Paulie grateful - but on the surface of it, he's still taking the enemy's stuff ^___^

[sakurazuka_jae]

So do I! When I first saw him in the Galley-la t-shirt I thought, "Yeah! Looks great!" Followed by, "But he didn't STEAL it from anyone!"

I'm glad you liked the double-meaning. Zoro argues he's just taking his rightful spoils, but we all know he took it to spare Paulie having it around (he's just a big ol' heavily-armed softie really :-).

Yay! I knew there had to be some story to that shirt since I first saw it! Great fic, girl, grat fic. :3

[sakurazuka_jae]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. (I also thought there had to be more - Zoro wearing clothing we didn't see him stealing from someone else? Definitely fishy.)

[fieryredqueen]

haha! a new couple to 'ship! heh, i vaguely thought paulie had a bit of a crush on him myself. i really like the tone of this, and his reason for having the galley-la shirt was inspired.

[sakurazuka_jae]

Yay! I'm not alone! Yeah, they just seemed to get on so well and they have so much in common. Well... bitching about women, at least. Thank you!

Ha, my first thought when I saw "anonymous CP9 member" was "Oh, so Lucci." 'cause I'm stupidly hooked on Lucci like that. XD

I can't tell you how much this brightened my morning!

[sakurazuka_jae]

Well, it could have been Lucci. I'd like to believe it that way, anyhow (like I said, technically Kaku fits better, but I left it open for those of us who like Luccie/Paulie).

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

found this while surfing opy archives. Not a pairing I've ever consciously thought of, but I like it. ^_^ Very nice execution, and I really like Zoro's thought processes. Real Men Don't Shop. *snerk* Thank you for sharing! *memories*

[sakurazuka_jae]

Thank you for commenting! Yeah, it's an odd one, but it just seemed to me more and more that those two were interacting a fair amount during that storyline, and since I love Paulie deeply... it just kind of came from that.
