zoro had just finished the day at the dojo. once more losing to kuina. he couldn't believe he had lost again, over and over again. no matter how much he trains by himself or spars with m/n he still lost.

so, he was in a sour mood.

his arms were crossed, a frown on his lips, his eyes furrowed. he walked out of the dojo, planning to continue to train. planning to fight kuina with real swords.

"roronoa zoro!" a male's voice said.

the green haired male's frown creased even lower. he was not in the mood to deal with another loss. he snapped his eyes to m/n.

"i'm not fighting you, so you can leave."

m/n blinked, "what? i'm not asking to spar. we're friends, i want to show you something."

zoro's eyes stopped furrowing as he raised them. confused on what the shirtless boy had wanted to show him. he didn't get the chance to speak as m/n quickly grabbed his hand, pulling him.

zoro noticed that m/n's hand was bandaged.

the said male began to pick his pace up, zoro having to quicken his steps as he wanted to keep up. he didn't want to be dragged. zoro looked at the male, studying him, realizing he wasn't wearing his over sized pirate hat like usual.

"where are we going?"

"to my tree." and as soon as he said that, they stopped in front of the tree m/n sleeps on.

zoro was even more confused, wondering why m/n had brought him to the tree. they already hang out on the tree branch a lot, what was so special about it now? he felt m/n squeeze his hand, pulling him back into reality. he turned his head, making eye contact with e/c eyes.

m/n softly smiled, "alright, listen, don't make any loud noises. i know you like to yell a lot."

zoro opened his mouth to yell at him for that assumption, but before a sound could leave his mouth, m/n put his free hand over zoro's mouth. he gave him a slight glare, to which zoro nodded to. m/n removed his hand from zoro's mouth, finally letting go of his tanned hand. he climbed the tree first, waiting on zoro.

but zoro never climbed up, the green-haired male was staring at his hand. clenching it as he no longer felt the warmth and relaxation m/n provided for him. he wiggled his fingers, hoping to feel that same warmth, but all he felt was the slightly cool air brushing past him. he thought about m/n holding his hand, his heart beating rapidly against his chest, what was this feeling? zoro never got cold hands, and now he's felt them.

"zoro?" m/n questioned quietly, peeking his head out, his hand gripping onto the branch. he looked to his right, "are you coming up? please, i want to show you what i have."

zoro looked up, his hand still extended. m/n noticed this, a small smile quirking up. zoro didn't say a word as he began to climb the tree. going to the branch m/n was on.
