Hi again! This iz author here. So, I was about to start writing... and I noticed something. THIS IS NUMBER 27 IN ZORO X READER??????? AND OUT OF 216 STORIES?????? *DIES OF SHOCK*
THANK YOU SOSO MUCH!!!!!!!!! 
Now without further ado, the story.

YOUR POV-A FEW WEEKS AFTER CHAPTER 3


You feel like someone's been following you...

You don't know it's probably just your imagination, but what if it's actually something to be afraid of? You're a bit scared but you decide not to make a big deal out of it. 

ZORO POV

Something's been bothering y/n. I know it. She's not focused, and she doesn't answer whenever I ask her something.  I'm a bit worried... what if it's something really important, like something's up with her dad, and she's not telling me? Wait, why am I so worried about her? Maybe it's just because she seems so vulnerable... Yeah, it's probably just that. Plus, who wouldn't be worried about a friend?

YOUR POV

As you're walking home, you hear some rustling in the bushes. It's late at night, so you can't really see. But you can't afford to be late, so you simply pay some more attention so that you can react fast if something dangerous happens. You would rather take a second to look at your surroundings and focus your attention to your ears, but you don't have time, after all you wouldn't want a repeat of what happened the morning...

THE MORNING OF THE SAME DAY

It was 8 o'clock. Three hours later than when you were supposed to wake up. 

"Shit."

As you gathered your things and went out to the hall, you heard your father's voice. 

"What're you doing up so early in the morning? "

"I'm going to train." You had said.

"What're ya training for? Not like you'll ever be able to fight. Not like you'll ever leave this town. Yer mine! Yer gonna marry into some rich family and be a bride, damnit!"

You had immediately left after that. Your father was always talking about you getting married, or you doing something to help the family. 

"Not many 11 year olds are on the market right now, so yer rare, even if yer ugly." Your dad had once said.

Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence, dad. That was extremely helpful. 

BACK TO THE PRESENT

Suddenly, the rustling grew louder, pulling you out of your thoughts. 

"Who's there?" You asked.

A boy stood up from the bushes.

"Oh, you found me... not many people can hear me... but you always did... thank you for noticing me... no one ever does. You've been the light of my life... so why... why are you hanging out with Roronoa Zoro so happily? I love you... If you can see me, don't you feel the same way? So why are you hanging out with Zoro? Come with me.... your father has already agreed... I promise I'll make you happy.... Roronoa's just using you, don't you understand? Everything he says is a lie! Don't love him, love me!" 

The sudden outburst left you extremely surprised.

"Wha-what do you mean? You love me? But we've never spoken before! And I don't like Zoro that way!"... Right? You didn't like Zoro that way, right? Yeah, you thought he was kind and looked up to him and thought he was strong, but that doesn't mean anything romantically!

"If you don't like Roronoa, you can marry me, right? Right?"

"But I'm only 11! That's WAY too early for marriage!"

ZORO POV

As I'm walking back ( Or where I think is back; I'm pretty sure I'm going the right way, ) I hear voices. No, not the stupid ones in people's heads who tell them they can't do anything. I don't have those. I mean actual voices.

"Oh, you found me... not many people can hear me... but you always did... thank you for noticing me... no one ever does. You've been the light of my life... so why... why are you hanging out with Roronoa Zoro so happily? I love you... If you can see me, don't you feel the same way? So why are you hanging out with Zoro? Come with me.... your father has already agreed... I promise I'll make you happy.... Roronoa's just using you, don't you understand? Everything he says is a lie! Don't love him, love me!"

The hell? Who is that? And who is he speaking to? 

As soon as I think that, I hear another voice. 

"Wha-what do you mean? You love me? But we've never spoken before! And I don't like Zoro that way!"

It's y/n! Who is she talking to? I hope she doesn't actually think I'm using her! Hold on, why would I even use her? AND I'm getting off topic. Focus on one thing, brain.

"If you don't like Roronoa, you can marry me, right? Right?"

"But I'm only 11! That's WAY too early for marriage!"

Again, what the hell is happening? It sounds like y/n's a bit stressed or freaked out though, so I should go see if she's okay. I started running in the direction of her voice. 

YOUR POV

What the actual fricken' hell? What is up with this guy? AnD WhY dOeS hE wAnT tO mArRy Me So BaDlY???????

Suddenly, you hear aloud clang. In front of you is a girl with deep red hair. 

"Sorry about that, my brother's a bit hard to control sometimes. I'll get him away now... He's just overreacting a bit. See ya!" With that, the girl zoomed holding the boy by the scruff of his neck.

"What was that?"

You turn around to see Zoro ready to fight. 

"I have no idea."
