Love/Hate -Zoro-

-Seven-

Your face was puffy the next morning as you got ready to leave with Chopper. You slid your bag into the trunk of your car with the others before slamming the tail shut. Your hands lingered on the end of the vehicle for a bit longer than you meant them to before Chopper's voice pulls you back from your thoughts.

"Reader?" He whispers lowly. The sun was barely rising and you knew Zoro was still passed out, not wanting to wake him up for something like this. It didn't concern him, even as your actual boyfriend. "Are you gonna be okay to drive?" You rubbed at your eyes to try and make the sleep leave your face, but you failed miserably.

"I'll be fine. It's only seven hours."

"You say that like it's not a big deal," He says with a chuckle. "You know if I could drive I would offer to let you take shifts."

"Yeah, I know."

"That's why I invited Zoro." You paused your face rubbing, hands just barely below your eyebags as you glared at your brother, blinking a few times to make sure you heard him correctly.

"Excuse me?" As if on cue, the front door opens and Zoro is locking the wooden frame behind him with a duffle bag on his shoulder. You gawk at the two males in shock.

"Alright, get in." Zoro completely ignored the expression you had as he went to the trunk of the vehicle. He opened it once more, shoved his bag inside, and shut it before going to the driver's side.

"We didn't agree on this," You tried to argue. "Zoro, you should really stay here. This isn't something you need to worry about."

"I'm not coming because I'm worried about your dad, I'm coming because I'm worried about you." He unlocks the door to the car, slipping in with a heavy sigh. You knew you had been defeated and groaned as your brother chuckled and slid into the back seat. You were nearly at a crawl as you made it to the passenger side door before opening it and idly getting in while still processing everything.

"Are you sure about this?" You whisper. "It's a seven-hour drive, eight with bad traffic."

"I'm positive." Chopper's hand comes through the middle console with a neck pillow in it. Zoro takes it with a nod before slipping half of it around your neck. He hands the aux cord to Chopper for the directions to the place and looks at you after a sigh. "Get some sleep. When you wake up I'll let you yell at me." The deal sounded too good to be true, but you were going to have to accept it. If you didn't you were afraid you actually wouldn't get any sleep out of worry.

"Thank you," You mutter, knowing you should at least thank the man for the trouble he went through. He chuckles lowly, grabbing your hand with his free one as he drove onto the road. Your head rested against the pillow and the window before your eyes slowly closed and your sleep deprivation took over. When you opened your eyes again, you were awoken by the bright light of the sun as it blazed above the road. You sat up more straight, looking around and seeing Chopper sprawled out on the backseat with seat belts from every seat wrapped on his sleeping body. You smirked at the sight, rubbing your eyes and looking at Zoro as he stared at the road ahead.

"Where we at?" You asked with a ruff voice.

"About four hours out," He replies with a small glance at the GPS monitor. You nod and yawn, rubbing your neck from any cricked feeling you might have received from your sleeping position.

"Any missed events?"

"Chopper passed out after talking nonstop about some medicinal ideas he had, but other than that event that's it."

"Sounds like he's more set on becoming a doctor now than before I left," You mutter while looking back at your sleeping brother.

"He definitely has a knack for it," Zoro mentions. You nod in agreement. You look over to the green-haired man as he drove cautiously through the traffic on the highway.
