warning: lemon 🍋 i'll let you know when the lemon begins to start if you want to skip it

zoro began to swim towards m/n's personal bubble. sitting next to him, his eyes never leaving m/n's face, he knew the male could probably feel his gaze, but once more, he was being ignored.

"it's not what it looks like." zoro blurted.

m/n hummed, "how should i know? my eyes saw that you didn't push them away. my ears heard that you weren't interested in someone."

"i had no interest in them."

"you had no interest in anyone." m/n snapped, "now, can i enjoy my bath? it was very peaceful before."

zoro frowned, he wanted m/n's attention, he wanted the male to look at him. he looked at m/n's hand, seeing it tap the edge of the giant tub. zoro slowly lifted his hand, grabbing it. m/n didn't pull away, nor did he tense up. zoro grabbed it with his other hand, moving it towards him as he rested his forehead on m/n's hand.

"they're together. those females." zoro said, "when you pushed me on the seat i was frozen. i couldn't process what was happening. and then the other female showed up, and... and i explained to them the situation."

"did you tell them you were interested in someone?" m/n didn't care for the story, he cared if zoro wanted people to know he was unavailable.

zoro gently kissed every knuckle on m/n's hand. m/n shifted closer, but didn't open his eyes or look at him. zoro let his hand go and began to get even closer. he wrapped his arms around m/n's neck, sitting on his lap. m/n kept his arms behind him, head still leaned back a little with closed eyes.

zoro pressed himself closer, using all his weight as he sat on both thighs. his fingers curling more into m/n's damp hair from the heat. his knees pressed to the bench as his feet dangled off. the water was a warm blanket but zoro needed m/n's warmth. he needed m/n.

zoro took a shaky breath, "i told them... we were dating."

m/n snapped his eyes open, looking above him. zoro was afraid m/n would be mad, so he stop breathing, afraid of the reaction. he wanted m/n to look at him, and now he wasn't sure.

zoro buried his head in m/n's shoulder, too fearful now. he felt a shift once more, m/n's hips rolling closer, causing zoro to inhale sharply. m/n's hand came to zoro's hair, tugging him slightly to pull him back. he let zoro go when the swordsman was back to slightly hovering over him.

m/n slowly rotated his head to fully face zoro, his eyes lidded a bit from fatigue. but they showed surprise and a certain tenderness to them.

"so they know you and i-"

zoro nodded his head, still looking away.

m/n sat up a bit, no longer leaning on the wall of the bathhouse. zoro thought he would shove him away, get him off of him and get out. but was surprised when one of m/n's hand went around his waist and the other gently cupped his face and made him look at him.

"god, you have no idea how long i've waited for you to tell at least one person." m/n said.

zoro's eyes widened, he wanted to question what the male meant. why had he been waiting? but he didn't get the chance.

⚠️lemon starts here⚠️

m/n put his fingers around zoro's chin, pulling him forward as he kissed him. zoro's hands went to m/n's chest, rubbing his thumbs over the skin. m/n let go of his chin as both hands traveled down, keeping his hands a centimeter over zoro's ass, tapping his lower back over and over again.
