Meant to Be

The Wedding

Zoro looked at himself in the mirror, shifting his cuff links to his suit. He runs a hand through his green hair, "Man I am definitely not prepared for this." He sighs.

He almost second guesses himself, I'm not ready, I'm just gonna get heartbroken.

He sighs again only to get interrupted by the ringing of his phone. It was Luffy, he picks it up hitting the answer button, "What's up Luffy?" He ask. Luffy's childlike voice comes from the other side, "Where are you, the wedding is about to start and Sanji is wondering where you are!" He says

Zoro rubs the back of his neck, "I was just trying to get my suit in order, I'm on my way now." He grumbles.

Luffy giggles his childish giggle, "Okay you better hurry or Sanji might kick your ass." He quips. Zoro chuckles, "Yeah, Yeah whatever, I'll be there soon." He hangs up the phone and grabs the keys to his mustang, looking at himself in the mirror one last time before leaving.

He walks out his front door, locking it behind him and walks to his car.

15 minutes later he makes it to the church, hoping out of his car and going to the door. He was met by Sanji's angry face when he opened the doors, "O-oh hey Sanji," Zoro stutters.

Sanji puts a hand on his hip, "You're late, what kind of best man are you?" He whisper yelled.

Zoro rubs his neck, "I'm sorry Sanji, I didn't mean to upset you, it's my first time being a best man so I guess I was just nervous." He lies through his teeth.

Sanji sighs, "Okay, just come on Pudding is gonna come out soon." He says, grabbing the police officers arm and drags him to the alter.

After a few minutes of waiting the iconic wedding music plays and Pudding walks down the aisle.

Zoro had to admit she looked beautiful in her long white dress, she almost looked like a princess. Pudding stops in front of Sanji and reaches out for his hands, Sanji taking them.

They look into each other's eyes lovingly, almost sickening Zoro but he had to endure, Sanji was in love, not with him but with the girl of his dreams. Zoro needed to get over Sanji, as hard as that sounded, he just needed to.

The priest clears his throat and recites the normal things a priest would say at a wedding.

Zoro watches as the couple being to tear up as the priest talks. He wanted nothing more than to leave this event but he had to make his best friend happy. He couldn't just leave him like this, not at such a special moment like this.

The couple exchange their vows, "You may now kiss the bride." Was all Zoro heard before the couple sealed their love with a kiss, Damn have I been zoned out this whole time? The swordsman thinks.

The wedding ends with a hurrah and everyone, especially Luffy, gets ready for the food.

Zoro sat right next to Sanji since he was his best man, but Sanji paid him no mind. He spent most of the time talking to his "lovely wife", Zoro was over it, he stood up and left the dining hall. Nobody else saw him but Sanji sure did, "Pudding sweetheart I'll be back in a minute." He assured her.

Pudding looks at him, "Okay darling!" She says enthusiastically.

Sanji stands up and speed walks after Zoro, seeing the green haired man almost getting in his car. Sanji runs up to him, "Zoro wait!" He yells for him.

Zoro seems to almost ignore Sanji, "Zoro, where are you going!?" Sanji yells, grabbing Zoro's shoulder.

Zoro looks down to meet Sanji's eyes, "I'm sorry Sanji but I gotta go, the uh station called me in, I'm so sorry," he pauses, "Forgive me?" He ask, putting a hand on the cooks shoulder.

Sanji nods and brings Zoro in for a hug, "Thank you for coming Zoro, I-I really appreciate it."

Zoro chuckles, "Anything for my best friend." He sighs, letting go of Sanji, "Well see you later cook." Sanji nods, "Yeah see you later." He smiles and walks back to the church.

When the cook was out of sight Zoro hops into his car and drives home.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Zoro opens his front door, sliding down, burying his face in his hands, "I'm such an idiot." He mumbles to himself.

He sighs and picks up his phone, dialing in a number , it rings for a little until he hears the sound of his mother's voice on the other side.

"Moshi Moshi?" (Hello) she answered.

Zoro sighs, "Okāsan nē?" (Hey mom) He pauses waiting for her to realize it's his voice.

She gasp, "Zoro! mata anata no koe o kiku no wa subarashīdesu!" ((Zoro! It's great to hear your voice again!)). She giggles, "Musuko wa dōdesu ka?" ((How have you been son?")) she ask.

Zoro laughs, "E e, ē, anata no koe mo kiku no wa yoi kotodesu." ((Yeah,Yeah, it's good to hear your voice again too)). He retaliates.

Mai laughs, "Dakara anata wa watashi o nanto yonde imasu ka?" ((So what are you calling me for?)) She ask. Zoro shifts on the flood and takes in a deep breath, blowing it out of his nose.

He closes his eyes, "Okāsan,-ka ni kaeritai." ((Mom, I want to move back home)).
