The Swordsman and the Blacksmith (Roronoa Zoro x Reader)

Chapter 11: Deal

Roronoa Zoro was in a shit mood. He was tired, annoyed and hungry. His stomach growled. The scent of whatever the cook was making was keeping him up, not that he'd been able to sleep. He tried to ignore it. He could go days without food, a few hours wouldn't hurt.

If only he could fucking fall asleep.

"What if I want to do something I'll regret?" you'd looked at him sweetly, tone suggestive.

He groaned in frustration.

With a reluctant sigh, he swung his legs out of his hammock. Fuck it. He'd sleep later. He grudgingly made his way to the galley, opening the door with a heavy yawn. The crew's eyes settled on him, their inquisitive gazes making him stop in his tracks.

Nami smiled.

He turned around.

"Oh! Zoro! Come here!" He heard Luffy call out to him moments before he felt the hand at his collar hauling him back towards the table.

The corner of a chair hit him right in his shin, as he was dragged to his captain's side. Pain bloomed almost instantly. "Ah! That hurt." He couldn't help but call out.

His annoyance flared as he looked at the captain angrily.

"My bad, Zoro" The pirate captain apologized offhandedly, distracted by the plates of food that the cook was placing on the table.

"I swear I'll cut you up one day" He grumbled angrily under his breath before taking a seat at the table.

"I heard you had fun yesterday" Franky said with a shit-eating smile as he leaned back taking a sip of cola.

"I've never seen you so irritated before, something interesting happen?" Nami asked, her expression smug.

Zoro flinched.

"I couldn't believe my eyes, when I saw the two of you walking back on the ship this morning. Fortunately, I don't have eyes! Yohohoho" The skeleton joked as he strummed a few notes on his guitar.

"I don't think I've ever heard (Y/n) laugh so hard," Robin mused. "Are you sure nothing happened?" She asked.

"You know, you're not so bad when you're not scowling all the time." Your fingers had danced playfully down along his throat.

Zoro's eye twitched.

He took a deep breath, attempting to reign in his irritation. "Nothing happened. She had too much to drink. End of story." He stated, crossing his arms to signal the end of the conversation.

"Nothing happened" Usopp imitated the swordsman. "Come on, spill the beans, she was wasted, there's no way nothing happened."

"Zoro, stop ignoring me" you'd whined in his ear before your tongue had met his ear, lapping softly as though to soothe the area you'd bit moments before.

He gritted his teeth, a soft blush settling faintly on his ears at the memory.

"Nothing happened" he reiterated.

The crew fell silent.

"Are you blushing!?" Nami screeched in surprise.

"What the!" Sanji exclaimed in shock as he put down Zoro's plate before him. "Moss head! You better not have taken advantage of (Y/n), you bastard" he said angrily, kicking the swordsman's chair to make his point.

"What'd you say, you shitty cook?" Zoro shouted back, standing up in indignation. "What do you take me for? I said nothing happened."

"You idiot! If something happened.." The chef continued.
