Pretend {Zoro X Reader}

Reunion

"I don't know what you're so anxious about. He'll be fine with your dad." Mom said spreading a table cloth over one of the ten tables in the courtyard.

Of course, you were anxious Zoro hadn't spoken to you since your embarrassing episode the night before.

What was I even trying to do?

You set up the sign in table.

"You didn't start a fight with him did you F/N M/N?" She wagged an accusing finger.

"No mother. It's fine." You pulled your phone out.

Me: Shoot me.

Zoro: Bang.

Me: I see how it is.

Texting to the rescue.

Zoro: Just being a good boyfriend and doing as I'm told. ಠ_ಠ

Me: Ass.

Me: How are things with dad?

Zoro: Why is your dad so much cooler than your mom?

Me: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Me: When will you guys be heading this way?

Zoro: Awe you miss me?

Me: In your dreams

Zoro: Dreams or nightmares?

Me: Why are you like this?

Zoro: We're getting the food packed. Your dad says less than an hour.

Me: K. See ya soon.

"Stop grinning at your phone and get the center pieces." Mom barked resetting the sign in table.

"I already did that table mom."

"Well I'm doing it the right way." She shrugged.

You rolled your eyes exiting the courtyard to get the flower arrangements from the car.

"Hey mija! Long time no see!" A familiar female voice called from the parking lot.

"Hi Marylu! I know it has been a while. Did you come to help set up?" You walked over to hug your mother's best friend.

"That and Mel had me make the cake for tonight so Fernando and I brought it a bit early." She brushed your hair behind your ears.

"Hey F/N!" Fernando hopped out of the truck and walked toward you.

"Hey man. I didn't know you'd be here." You greeted him with a side hug.

Of course, mom would have invited him anyway.

"Your mom said I should come. I haven't seen you in so long." He squeezed your shoulders.

"Yeah just been so busy with life. We'll have plenty of time to catch up. Y'all head inside before the cake melts. The kitchen is the left entrance from the courtyard."

You unlocked your SUV and reached into the back seat for the stacked boxes of faux flower arrangements.

"Need help?" You jumped at the sound of Fernando's voice.

"Nah I got it." You sighed.

He shut the door for you and trailed behind. The venue for the reunion was an inn with a large courtyard and garden. There was a dancefloor set up in the middle of the yard and a bar on the far right. Your parents had reserved rooms for you and themselves so you didn't have to worry about drinking. Really you couldn't wait to shower and go to bed.
