Best friend not. A Zoro x reader au

Chapter 12

Pushing the door open, you and Zoro walked inside. Zoro plopped down on the couch while you walked to your bedroom.

"I still don't have any clothes to wear." Zoro said, relaxing on the couch. You groaned and ran your fingers through your hair, pushing it back. You came back out in comfy clothes and stood in front of Zoro. "What?" "Where's your phone?" "In my pocket, why?" "Give it." "Get it yourself."

You quirked a brow and shrugged. Your hands started feeling Zoro's pockets for his phone. "H-hey! What are you doing -- stop!!" He grabbed your hands and sat crisscross. "You said 'get it yourself' so I am." He pulled out his phone and gave it to you. "Never do that again."

"Whatever." You took the phone and opened it. Still no lock... Scrolling through his contacts you called Perona.

"Hollow?" "Perona?" "Ahh?? This isn't the stupid mosshead. Who is this?" "Yn. Zoro's been staying at my place because he can't remember how to get home." "Do you want me to take him back...?" "He's fine to stay here. He just needs his stuff over here."

"Wait...Zoro is staying at your place...?" You furrowed your brows. "...yeah..." "OH HOLLOW!! WHAT A MIRACLE! I'LL BE THERE TO DROP HIS STUFF OFF! What's your address?" "New World Apartments, B45."

The other line shrieked with such excitement you pulled the phone away from your ear. "OKAY! MIHAWK!!!" And the call ended.

You gave Zoro's phone back and sat next to him. "She seemed eager to have you out of the house." "Perona?" "Yeah..." "Hmph, she's annoying." You laugh and lean back, the couch fitting your body. Zoro laid his head on your lap and his feet hung off the arm of the couch.

"Hmm," you sighed and closed your eyes. Unconsciously, your hands moved to play with his hair. Your eyes opened and looked down. Zoro was asleep and had a small smile on his lips. You continued to play with his hair -- so soft and fluffy like a small, green cloud. His scar upon his eye was something of mystery. How did he get it? Why does he have it? You frowned slightly and took your finger to run over it, avoiding touching his eye directly.

A knock sounded from the door. You slowly lifted Zoro's head from your lap and got up, putting his head down. You opened the door and Perona gave you a hug before promptly leaving saying, "Thank you so much!" Confused you stood staring after her. You took in the bags and closed the door.

You went into the hall and opened up the second room that was empty, all except a dresser and a bed. Hands on hips you looked around then to the bags. You opened up one and saw weights. Of course. You smirked and moved that bag near the closet.

Going back to the rest of the bags you set up his room: putting away clothes and making the bed. It took all of about an hour and you stood at the door looking back at what you did. Nodding in approval you turned off the light, closed the door and walked back to the small living space.

You noticed Zoro was gone from the couch and in the kitchen. "Looking for something?" "Food." Walking over you saw he took out almost your entire fridge. "Put it all back. I'll make something." Zoro sighed and started putting the items back.
