Zoro noticed as he stopped his hand motions. "Did you leave because of m-?" He asked as he realized what she was implying.

"I did. I knew that you would come find me when we were older and held hope they wouldn't touch you. I was wrong to believe that you would really come for me." Celestia spoke as she got out of his hold. "And I wanted to hide that truth because you didn't live in my world. You didn't know about my dad's very wild life."

"You could've informed me."

"And have you do what exactly? We were kids and didn't know any better." She spoke before sitting away from him. "I always felt guilty for Kuina. Maybe it had been someone from that horrible place. That they had done it to get information about my whereabouts. They knew things about me that I never told my family."

Zoro listened as he rubbed his face a bit. "I'm sorry. I didn't know that this was all..."

"All a bit of a mess?" Celestia asked as she laughed with a scoff. "Believe me. My whole life has been a mess."

"You're dad.." Zoro began to speak again.

"My dad is Clovis Crawford."

"You mean as in the leader of the Silver Moon's?"

"The one and only. Hence the symbol he chose. He wanted to go with something simple." Walking to her balcony as she opened the doors and stepped out. "There's a story my father used to tell me before bed. Would you care to listen to it?" She asked.

"I have time so go ahead." Zoro spoke as he got up and walked over. Leaning his back against the stone railing before keeping his eyes on her.

His gaze made her feel a certain way as she glanced up. "There's this man who fell in love. This woman was magnificent to him. Everything she did was elegant and the way she would say his name made him feel captivated by her." Celestia began. "He was always winning her over with whatever he could give her until one day she asked him a question."

Zoro listened as he didn't interrupt her. Wanting to hear the rest of it.

"She asked the man. 'Do you love me?'. And the man replied, 'more than anyone else ever will.'" She smiled as she gushed over how romantic it sounded. Catching the green hair's attention immediately with her smile.

"What happened next?"

"The man promised her the world would never make her shed tears of sadness for he would lay his life on the line to keep her smile present." Celestia replied. "So the woman agreed and asked for one thing."

"What did she ask her?"

"She asked him to give her the moon." Celestia smiled to herself.

"The moon?"

"Mhm. That's why my father named his people the Silver Moon gang."

"I don't get it."

"The story is about my parents. My father fell first and my mother fell for him when she came to learn more about him. She loves the moon and he knew she did so he told her he would give her the moon one way or another." She leaned on the stone railing beside him her hands on her chin. "I have always loved hearing their past. It's romantic. I want to find love like them one day." She sighed as she could only daydream about it.

Zoro noticed as he reached his hand out to her. "What if you did find it? What would you do?"

"Keep and treasure it for as long as I can but I'm sure about not being able to find the one and Nami has tried to set me up with guys before."

"What? Why did you let her?"

"Hm? Well I didn't know since it was a surprise and since you already have a girlfriend then it's never too late to start getting into the dating world. Besides if I keep waiting any longer I'll be single for the rest of my life."

"What about us?"

"Us?" Celestia asked as she glanced at him. "There's no us." She replied. "You're taken and-." She gasped as she felt her back touch the railing. Inhaling his scent from how close they were. "Z-zoro.."

"I'm sorry about this whole hell of a week. I know that my apologizing like this isn't enough so I want to make it up to you." He spoke.

"Y-you have a girlfriend. Let go of me."

"I lied. I don't have a girlfriend." Zoro whispered into her ear. "A part of me said that to make you go away and another wanted to see if you would be jealous about it. I haven't been with anyone else since you left." He continued as he placed his hands on her waist.

"You lied to me?"

"I believed rumors about you because I didn't know the truth. I wanted to force myself away from my desires after you set foot in Luffy's house and wanted to tear him apart when you kissed his cheek."

"S-stop it."

"I want to put that damn necklace back on your neck and make sure that he knows you aren't available for anyone."

"I'm still mad at you."

"Let it all out on me then. Any way that you deem fit." Zoro mumbled. "But right now I just want to hear you say it. Say that you still have feelings."

Celestia turned red as she glanced at him before shoving him away. Pushing him back into her room and closing the balcony doors shut with the blinds down. "You want me to say it to you after everything that's happened?"

"I want to hear you admit it."

"You would crumble from what I will do to you."

"Is that a threat or a promise?" He asked with a small chuckle.

Celestia blushed before grabbing one of her pillows and hitting him with it. "Not funny you jerk! This isn't over!" She yelled at him before a small squeal escaped her lips. Landing on her back as he was above her.

"You know.. I like you better this way."

Celestia hit his shoulders a bit like she had done earlier.

Zoro let her as he reached up before grabbing her hands and placing them on either side of her head. "Not so tough now I see."

Celestia irked at him before swiftly switching their positions. "From what I see.. it seems you forget who's daughter I am." She replied.

He sat up to lean against the headboard holding her closer to himself as he gazed at her. Sliding something onto her finger as he made her keep her gaze on him. "I'm at your disposal. Do whatever you must to me, Princess."

"Stop with the nickname." She mumbled.

"No, Princess. Zoro replied. "I want you to be happy and what I did was stupid and wrong of me."

"I like you." She confessed. "But you are not free anymore." She huffed. "I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity you want to give me so badly."

"Kiss me."

"No." Celestia scoffed before feeling his hands slide up her back and be brought back down to her lower back. "D-don't touch there."

"Why not?" He asked. "Scared you'll give into me?".

"Not even close but you are still going to be tortured by me?"

"Mm? And how is that?"

"I have my ways. You don't need to know about it. Just be aware that you aren't safe." She informed him. Placing her hand on his jaw and leaning close.

Feeling him immediately connect their lips in a soft kiss as she wanted to make him continue despite also wanting him to walk away. Wrapping her arms around his neck as she kissed him. Immediately melting as she felt his hand chose to slide up her dress and up her thigh as she jolted into their kiss.
