Blazelight (Roronoa Zoro x Assassin Reader)

Aneko

It's the third night in the ship, and so far the coldest. (Y/N) was shivering in the corner of the women's quarters not daring to go into the mens rooms to save the stress of resisting the urge to murder a Clingy Sanji who kept on volunteering to hug her and give her his clothes, encouraging her to get changed into them in front of him. She hated Perverts, and he was no different. Before this, she'll just snuggle in her bed and read a good book, but this ship apparently doesn't have any heaters.

Dammit. Well, Better buy some.

Nami and Vivi were also cold, hugging their winter coats closer to themselves. They were lucky to have those, (Y/N) only had a black cloak, and Zoro has it right now. Whenever she was hired by people living in colder places such as drum island, she would have a winter cloak with the same black wings on it, but she doesn't have it right now. It's in the cellar of the Inn.

(Y/N) was getting bored. Very bored. It was probably around seven PM by her estimate, way too early to sleep.

And she could hear Zoro's snoring from here. She always wondered how he was able to sleep that easily.

Minutes passed and (Y/N) was still bored out of her mind. Then she remembered a song that her late mother used to sing whenever she was bored. It was a habit of hers, just sitting there in her chair, twirling her (H/C) hair in her fingers, singing. Her voice was one of the most melodic things that (Y/N) had ever heard. She missed her mother greatly, and that song reminded her of her mother. When she was younger and she heard that familiar voice start singing, she would always grab a chair and go over to her, and sing along with her. Even if she was in her backyard, doing chin-ups on one of the branches of her Apple tree while an impressed Dan was just standing there, gaping that a five year old girl was able to do that, or when she was on the toilet. Her mother would always die laughing whenever that happened, but sing with her daughter anyways. (Y/N) Brother and Father would always stare at them.

She smiled and started singing quietly.

"It's, Alright, If you feel like a void,

Soon you'll be filled with bright colourful stars,

Everyone, who has ever doubted you, doubted you,

Will be there, in awe, staring at you, staring at you,

While you are looking down, on them, like a god-"

'And you will shiiiiiiine like a staaaaaar,' Vivi continued the song like she knew it.

'Brighter, than the break of day,' Nami continued. It hit (Y/N) That they knew the song, and they all sung together.

'Nobody cares if it's dark, or gloomy, or the middle of the day,' The three were singing more confidently now.

'Just let me take you by the hand, and get you on your way,

I don't care who you are,

I don't care what you say,

I just want to show them proof,

That you're more than just bulletproof,

Stars align, sunrise,

Glistening mist, Close to the sky,

Moon shines, snow falls,

Shooting stars, way up high,

A new power has been born, shout and cry!'

The boys in the other room are starting to yell for them to shut up, only to be silenced by an angry Sanji, scolding them about shouting at women. The three just ignored the protests, and kept on singing their song. Little did they know, Zoro was leaning against the wall listening closely to their singing that whole time. He never knew that (Y/N) could sing so well.
