A Sword-Loving Civilian (Roronoa Zoro x Reader)

You walk through the town, eyes peeled for an inn, preferably one with a tavern attached. After a long day of travel, you're eager to find a warm place to lay your head – and maybe even have a little fun before that. Soon, you reach a building that is clearly labeled 'inn,' and you walk in. Inside, the tavern on the ground floor is loud and rowdy, with patrons crammed into booths for games of poker and sitting at the bar, drinking their woes away. However, your eyes are drawn to a green-haired man in particular, who seems to give off an aura of danger. The space around him is unoccupied, and you take that opportunity to go and sit down next to him. After hailing the bartender for a drink, you turn to get a good look at the stranger. From the angle you're sitting, he appears to have both eyes closed and a long, thin scar running down his left eye. However, this is disproven when he turns to look at you, his expression borderline glaring. "Can I help you?"

You smile slightly. "Not really." You observe that three swords are holstered at his hip. A swordsman, then , you think. "You're a pirate, aren't you?" you ask suddenly. "A civilian wouldn't carry around three katanas for no reason."

He raises a brow, his expression changing from annoyance to amusement. "What if I'm just a civilian who really enjoys collecting swords?"

"Let's be honest – no ordinary person enjoys swords like that."

He shrugs. "Alright then, I'm a pirate. So what?"

"Do you have a crew?" You ask.

He bobs his head towards a nearby table. You look over there to see a group that is, without doubt, a group of pirates. They seem to be led by someone in a straw hat, and you immediately recognize it. Within moments, you've put together the identity of this handsome stranger. "You're Roronoa Zoro," you say. Even though you have to admit a part of you feels fear from being in the presence of such a strong pirate, the rest of you is intrigued.

At this, Roronoa Zoro chuckles. "I hope you're not considering turning me in to the nearest marine base. You'll have a hard time if you are."

"Although that is tempting," you say, "I don't see myself doing that in the near future." You lay a hand on his arm, feeling nothing but rock-hard muscle. "I'm far more interested in seeing what the swordsman of the Straw Hat pirates might be able to do in a more... private situation."

He raises a brow, smirking, and covers your hand. Suddenly, he pulls you by the hand so close to him that you're practically on his lap. You blush unexpectedly, thrown by his sudden control of your entire interaction. He leans in until his lips hover just by your ear. "Really? Well, I may just take you up on that offer." He plants a lingering kiss just under your ear.

"Perhaps it can be arranged."
