captain withering shark {zoro x seme male reader x luffy}

chp: 20

zoro just stared at the girl. no words could form, his mouth opening and closing. he didn't want to offend the girl by leaving, but he did not want to be there any longer than he needed. he knew m/n was already pissed at his response, and maybe he could've admitted he was interested in someone, it's not like he had to say who exactly it was.

so sitting here any longer than he had would only make things worse.

"hey." a female said from behind.

zoro slowly turned to face a female who looked slightly older than the both of them. she did not look happy, her facial expression reminded zoro of m/n's facial expression at this very moment.

m/n's eyes danced with amusement, "uh oh, someone might be in trouble." he said in a sing-song voice. he was enjoying this a little too much.

"i would gulp right now," brook said, "but i don't have a cricopharyngeal muscle to do that." then he began laughing.

back to zoro:

"what the hell do you think you're doing sitting across from my girlfriend."

zoro's eyes widened, "i didn't want to sit across from her!" her eyes were daring him to continue to speak, "i mean... she's seems like a great person, er she's not my type." he felt unsure of himself. stumbling over words, he never felt like this before.

maybe it was because m/n was the only person he could think about, the only person he wanted approval from. and that said male is pissed at him.

"start explaining yourself then."

"mari, it's really okay." she pushed her glasses up, getting her fingers on the lenses. 'mari' reached over and took her glasses off, beginning to clean them. "his friend shoved him in that seat. speaking some nonsense, anyone with eyes could tell he's not into girls."

zoro's face tinted red, "how did you-"

"when that male was touching your chest, your eyes closed slightly. it was obvious you leaned into his touch."

"is this true, moss head? if it is, i won't kick your ass for even looking in sharia's direction."

zoro knew he could win the fight but he immediately nodded his head yes.

"why'd they force you then?"

zoro glanced at them, m/n still had that same look. zoro's shoulders deflated a bit. he then looked back in front of him, now seeing mari standing over sharia's chair.

"i'm dating one of them on the wall." he bluntly put it, surprised he admitted it out loud. he felt comfortable around them because they were in the same situation as him, "a male to be exact. no one knows. and earlier i had said i wasn't interested in someone. because we were on the topic of setting me up with someone, and it happened to be in front of him. so he forced me over here, going on about since i wasn't interested in someone, might as well put myself out there." he frowned, "but all i really want is him. and he's pissed."

"you mean... the captain withering shark?" sharia said, "you've got one of the wa-"

"you're so lucky." mari cut her off, not meaning to. "he's very attractive."

zoro blushed a bit, "i know."

mari wiggled her eyebrows, "i know a way to get him to talk to you."

zoro raised a brow, not liking her tone of voice. she leaned down and whispered something in sharia's ear, her eyes widened slightly before she smiled. both slowly turning to him. he didn't like their looks.

they both walked to him at the same time, mari on his right and sharia on his left. they both plopped down on his legs, wrapped their arms around his neck. not only did zoro's eyes widened, but the straw hat crew -and the shark crew- as well. and the shark captain no longer held amusement in his eyes.

"dang, zoro can actually pull..." sanji sulked.

they watched as the two females on zoro rubbed their noses in his cheeks. anybody could see that he was tense and flustered. what put the cherry on top was them kissing his cheeks. you could see his ears red from outside the bar.

m/n gritted his teeth, because zoro would rub his nose in his cheek and then kiss it.

"what the hell are you guys doing?" he muttered, "he's not going to speak to me."

"oh, you wanted him to speak?" mari laughed, leaning in and whispering in his ear, "someone's about to have a fun night~"

zoro gulped, "or a rough one."

they subtly glanced over, seeing m/n's jaw clenched and arms crossed, gripping onto each other.

"we need to make him leave angry so you can follow." sharia said, beginning to play with his green hair, "why don't you wrap your arms around us."

"no way. are you crazy?"

they pouted, "that's too bad." they took his arms and wrapped them around each other, pressing their bodies more into the male.

he could feel everything. the females look over, seeing m/n push himself off the wall and walking away.

"where are you going?" luffy randomly popped up and asked.

m/n blinked, "to the bathhouse. i need to relax." his tone blank.

"there's a bathhouse here?"

m/n nodded, "and a hotel on top. my crew and i are staying here for a bit." after all, they owe me because of my mom. then he completely disappeared.

"and we successfully did it. give it a few minutes, bet you he's going to the bathhouse. it's through that door," she pointed, "and just keep going straight."

they stayed on him a few minutes to not look suspicious. finally getting off, wobbling away acting as if they were drunk. leaving the bar. zoro sat there for a bit, taking a deep breath before getting up. walking to the bathhouse, repeating the directions they told him over and over in his head. he walked by the straw hats, all watching him, so he stopped and raised a brow.

"who knew you had game." franky said, "two ladies, lucky."

"even sanji can't do that." luffy said, but something inside him twisted.

"shut up!" sanji snapped, grabbing another cigarette.

"where are you going anyways?" robin asked.

"to the bathhouse. those two ladies told me there was one. why?"

"no reason." she closed her eyes and smiled.

he hummed a bit, ready to walk away when luffy stopped him.

"one more thing, we're staying here for the night. the bar has a hotel."

zoro nodded and walked through the door the females said to walk through. his heart pounding in his ears, he felt his chest tighten as he was afraid to face m/n.

when he finally reached a room, he saw m/n's clothes in a little space on the wall, his coat and pirate hat hung up on a hook, two towels gone. he took his clothes off and neatly put his bracelet on his folded clothes that were by m/n's also grabbing two towels. one wrapped around his lower body and the other hanging over his neck. he looked at the bracelet, grabbing it and putting it back on.

he went to the sliding door, hand slowly reaching for the handle, he took a deep breath and opened it.

m/n was sitting at the far end of the bathhouse, already soaking in and his eyes were close. arms spread out behind him as his head was leaned back slightly. he didn't bother to open his eyes when zoro closed it.

he saw m/n's towels in the driest spot, putting his towels there and slipping in. yet, m/n kept his eyes close.

still ignoring him.
