Pretend {Zoro X Reader}

Meet the Parents

His eyes widened as he processed the words you'd just said.

"So wonderful to meet you sweetheart!" Your mother sang squeezing the confused man.

"Manners babe." You chided.

He narrowed his eyes at you over her shoulder. You could have sworn you saw a tinge of pink on his cheeks.

"Uh-hullo Mrs. L/N." He managed wiggling out of her clutches.

"Oh call me Mel. Mrs. L/N is Dan's witch of a mother not me." She stepped back giving him a once over then reaching for your cheek, "Your face has gotten a bit round."

"Mom." You snapped brushing her hand away.

"Just concerned." She feigned innocence.

"Uhm nice to meet you?" Zoro tried to add politely.

"You too honey. Now you kids go get settled. I've got to water these plants." She walked around the side of the house.

Zoro glanced around the house warily clutching his luggage. Your father walked in the back door adjusting his glasses.

"Ah you must be the boyfriend!" He extended his right hand.

"Uh apparently yes sir. Roronoa Zoro." He introduced himself shaking your father's hand.

"Just call me Dan." His eyes lit up when you stepped around Zoro, "Hey Chipmunk!"

"Hi dad." You blushed embarrassed by the childhood nickname.

He scooped you up and squeezed you tight, "We missed you. I know mom is nuts but you really should visit more."

"I missed you too." You had always been a daddy's girl.

He stepped back looking over the both of you.

"We're trusting you guys as adults can handle staying in the same room. Mel converted the spare room into a closet and refused to move anything out." Your dad rolled his eyes.

"Yeah that's fine. We'll just take our stuff upstairs." You replied guiding Zoro toward the stairs.

"No hanky panky! " He called after you.

"Never!" Zoro called back.

"Rude." You muttered feeling Zoro's glare on the back of your head.

He followed you up the steep narrow staircase to the converted attic. The top floor of the house was one bedroom a full bathroom and a fully furnished loft.

"It's like an apartment." Zoro glanced around.

"Yeah it was a teen's dream." You chuckled opening your old bedroom door.

The room was monochrome with accents of purple and teal.

"Hm" He hummed a little disappointed.

"What?" You flipped the light switch turning on the stands of Christmas lights lining the ceiling and window.

"I don't know what I was expecting. Something girlier I guess." He entered the room.

"You've got some stuff to learn." You smirked tossing your bag on the bed.

"Speaking of learning, what the fuck? You could have warned me I was coming to be your boyfriend." He shut the door.

"Hmm but it was fun seeing your reaction." You chuckled.

"What if they ask us questions like how long have we been dating? How did we meet?"

"Through Luffy which is true. We could say a month? That's not long enough to have to tell your parents but long enough to go on a trip together right?"
