Blazelight (Roronoa Zoro x Assassin Reader)

The Bet

(Y/N) was on the verge of being asleep and awake when voices and laughter echoed through the room early in the morning.

"Shishishishi-BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

'Luffy, shut up, what're you laughing a- Oh god. Heheheh, AHAHAHAHAHAHA!'

'Can you guys please- Uh...'

'What is it Chopper- WHAT THE... ZORO, WHAT'RE YOU DOING?'

(Y/N)'s eyes snapped open, facing the couch that Zoro Usually kept his swords on. She was tired as heck, and couldn't be bothered actually sitting up to see what all the ruckus was about, so she tilted her head without actually lifting her head off the carpet. Luffy and Usopp laughing their heads off in their hammocks, The Captain who apparently fell on the floor, banging his fists uncontrollably on the carpet while Chopper and Sanji were beside them, staring, shocked. She had no idea what Luffy and Usopp were laughing about, then she felt an arm on her waist for the first time when she woke up. She looked behind her, and was frozen to the spot.

Zoro.

Fell.

Asleep.

Holding.

Her.

In.

His.

Arms.

(Y/N) felt like screaming, but nothing came out. She just stared at him, not knowing what to do. That was when Anger and Aggression kicked in, and she kicked behind her, nailing Zoro in the balls. Hard. He let a gasp of air out as he got woken up, and his hand wasn't on her waist anymore. It was comforting the downstairs area that he was kicked in. She didn't know what it was like, getting kicked in the balls, but she knew it wasn't pleasant. She stood up, glaring with her murderous glare that would be an immediate indication to innocent bystanders that she was no good.

"What the hell was that for?" Zoro said between clenched teeth, eyes squeezed tightly shut. He looked like a raisin.

'Why were you sleeping with me in your arms?' She growled. If she had her bowie knife with her, she would've sliced him up into ribbons the moment she saw that arm.

"I... Was?" He looked up at the assassin with confused eyes.

'In fact, why were you sleeping with me in the first place?'

"It's your fault, you kept falling off that couch and onto the carpet, and I got tired of lifting you up back onto the couch after like, seven times, so I just left you there."

'THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY YOUR ARM WAS ON MY WAIST!'

"It was?"

'DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH ME!'

"I think I might've done that in my sleep."

'THAT'S NOT AN ESCUSE!' (Y/N) was so red that she looked like she was covered in blood. Which happened very often. She immediately turned her attention to Luffy and Usopp, who were still laughing. 'ZORO AND (Y/N), SITTING IN A TREE, K I S S I N G' Usopp mocked, while Luffy laughed.

That was when (Y/N) snapped.

She bolted at the two, ready to rip their lungs out, but was stopped by an overly defensive Chopper in heavy point lifting her up into the air with his hands in her armpits.

'Calm down, those two are just kidding!' Chopper said, staying clear of (Y/N)'s flailing limbs.

"I DON'T CARE IF THOSE TWO WERE KIDDING, I JUST WANT TO RIP THEIR LIMBS OUT AND COOK THEM OVER A FIRE, AND MAKE SANJI COOK A DELICIOUS VIRGIN BLOOD ICE CREAM FOR DESSERT."

Luffy and Usopp weren't laughing now. They just stared, traumatised at (Y/N), not knowing how to react, while Chopper shared that face. Sanji was gaping, and Zoro just stared with a message in his dark eyes saying: "What the F**k?. (Y/N) was obviously showing her dark, demonic and murderous side now, and her eyes also went from her beautiful shade of (E/C), to a unsettling blood red with rage. She looked like she'll turn into a demon any second. Now Luffy understood why she was called the Fallen Angel, she was beautiful as one, but had the wrath of a demon.

'What the hell?' Usopp just stared, wide-eyed.

"Sorry, I mean: Serve the Ice Cream to everyone. It's delicious, I've tried it before, and paired with Sanji's cooking skills, it'll be amazing." (Y/N) Smirked.

'You... can go over to the womens quarters now...' Usopp changed the subject.

"Fine then. If you're not man enough to stop me, whatever. Sanji, Make him into ice cream for me, would ya?"

Sanji didn't respond. He just stared at (Y/N) as she climbed through the hatch, Nami and Vivi were just staring at her.

"What was that?" Nami asked, curious.

'Well, apparently, I kept falling off the couch I was sleeping on, and Zoro got tired of lifting me back onto the couches, so he just left me there. I woke up to find Zoro sleeping with his arm around me, and Luffy and Usopp wouldn't stop laughing at me about it. I snapped.'

"He... He what?"

'He fell asleep hugging me. Spooning, or whatever you want to call it.'

Nami and Vivi looked at each other before laughing.

"Aw, that's sweet. He obviously has a crush on you."

'DOES NOT.'

"Think about it, CPR, Worrying, that incident that just happened, He definitely has a crush on you."

'Sanji's the one that does. Zoro is too emotionally constipated to fall in love.'

"We'll see about that." Nami sat up, and took a pile of beli bills out of her shirt. "I can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm betting all this money, that by the end of this month, I can force that secret out of him, or see if I can get you two together."

(Y/N) stood up, getting an identical pile of bills from her bag, and shook it in her hand. 'And I'm betting all this that you won't.'

Both smiled.

"Deal."

When (Y/N) went to sleep that night, she laid on the same couch she was sleeping last night, staring up at the ceiling as snoring came from all sides of the room. The dudes were obviously asleep. (Y/N) however, was having no luck with sleep. There was only one thing on her mind, and that was the bet.

What does love feel like?

Will Nami win the bet?

And or course, Does Zoro actually have feelings for me?
