[Zoro x Reader] It's Always Been You

Chapter 7: Time to Party!

slight lemon warning, nothing too bad though, just a taste of what's to come!! xx anna

You opened your eyes to a beautiful sunny morning. You glanced over to see Robin laying on her bed reading a book.

"Morning Robin!" you said.

"Oh, Good Morning (Y/N). You're up pretty early, it's only 7:30. Why's that?" Robin asked.

"Oh I don't know. I guess my body woke me up because it's too excited for the party tonight!" you said giggling.

"Ah yes it's going to be so fun! You haven't partied with us yet so I'll warn you that it does get pretty rowdy." Robin said turning to continue to read her book.

You got out of bed, and changed into some comfortable workout clothes. You did after all commit to working out, and today was going to be the first day.

As you made your way up to the crows nest you thought to yourself, 'well its early enough that I should be able to work out in peace and quiet, no one else should be up there.'

Boy were you wrong. You opened the door and your eyes locked with Zoro's as he was doing some type of yoga looking stance. Damn you were really hoping to workout alone, but out of everyone the person you wanted to see the least was Zoro. You still didn't understand the entirety of the situation with him from last night. You were certain he was just trying to get on your nerves though.

"Morning woman. Are you ready to start training?" Zoro asked.

"Yeah I am. So if you excuse me, could you leave?" you said crossing your arms.

"Hah. You're funny woman. I'm not leaving." Zoro said grinning.

"C'mon I don't really know what I'm doing, and I want to get a hang of things without anyone here in case I embarrass myself" you said.

"That's exactly why I'm staying. You'll be training with me." Zoro claimed.

"Like hell I will! You have to be joking right now" you snapped back.

"Does it look like I'm joking?" Zoro said with a more serious tone, "Look you don't know what you're doing, so you're a beginner. Beginners can easily hurt themselves while training by just doing something simple wrong, and Luffy agrees with me."

"What? Why did you talk to Luffy? I guess if the Captain told you to help me you can. Just promise you won't make fun of me." you say fiddling with your thumbs nervously.

"Nah. I won't make a promise I can't keep. Let's get started." Zoro said, trying to hide his amusement.

Zoro took you through some basic stretches, which he said was a necessity to do before and after training. The first thing he tested you on was your arm strength. You both were surprised at how strong you actually were, he even said you were stronger than most men. Hm... that started making you think of what you did before your head injury.

The next thing Zoro tested was your leg strength, and movement. Your legs were equally as strong as your arms were. Your movements though is what really shocked the both of you. You could jump insanely high, duck fast, and sprint faster than Zoro has ever seen before.

After the workout you and Zoro were stretching to relieve your muscles.

He turned to you and said, "You're sure you don't remember anything from your past (Y/N)? Something tells me you were more than just an ordinary girl that found herself in a one on one fight with an admiral."

"Nope, nothing. You can't believe that I'm just insanely strong and in shape? Tsk shame on you mosshead." you said letting out a laugh.

This time Zoro didn't get mad when you called him mosshead. His lips actually slightly curled up, and he turned his head away from you thinking you hadn't already noticed. It seems like Zoro is finally starting to warm up to you a bit and that made you excited.
