Vodka Sweats. {Roronoa Zoro x Reader}

Taking Him Home.

"Aw, poor little guy!" You whine softly as you run your hand through the dogs soft fur, Zoro had helped you take him to the vets to check if he has a microchip but he doesn't so you've decided that you're keeping him.

Your new friend rolling his eyes at your impulse adoption, his arms folded over his strong chest as he grins to himself. "We better get him some food then, if you're so keen. He's probably hungry." Apparently, he thinks further ahead than you do at least.

After signing some papers at the vets to confirm that you've taken their newest patient home with you, you're set to leave with him.

A smile on your lips as you enter a nearby store. "What do you think Kid will say about the dog? Don't you live together?" A groan leaving your lips at the goon's question since he raises a good point and all. You hadn't told Kid about this animal yet, you intend to surprise him. 

But even if he doesn't appreciate the surprise, it doesn't matter.

"I'm keeping this dog. And he's going to welcome this little orphan with open arms." A sinister smirk creeping slowly to your lips as you pet the dogs fur, following Zoro around the shop. Kid will either accept him by choice or force, either way you'll get what you want. "How do you know where the pet food is anyway?"

"I've been here with Law before, he has a dog too. His name is Bepo, I think." Zoro answers pretty calmly, taking a turn down the pet isle and you try to follow in suit but you're stopped by one of the workers.

"Excuse me, miss! Dogs aren't allowed in here!" The woman says somewhat nicely but still has that authoritative tone in her voice and you don't take demands lightly. "You need to tie him outside if you wish to shop here!"

Like hell will I! He'll get stolen out there with no microchip or collar!

"You're racist against dogs." You state plainly, the poor woman stiffening in clear shock, certainly not expecting such a claim. "This animal here is a living and breathing young pup, with feelings! And he only wants some food, just like us humans! He's not being left outside on his very first day of adoption!" 

You've successfully managed to stun the woman for about 10 seconds flat before you try to walk away, however she stops you once again. "I-I don't know what on earth you're talking about but dogs aren't allowed in here! Besides, you're going down the wrong isle!"

...So I am. Thanks for your shitty sense of directions, Zoro. But I won't back down just yet. 

"I don't co-operate with dog-haters!" Your response actually managing to pull in the attention of many other customers, some giving the woman the look of utter disgust and causing her to stand down. "You want my money, you can show respect for the different races that enter this store!"

It's in this moment that another worker calls the woman over to the cash registers, scolding her for causing a scene and some customers already threatening to leave the store without buying anything now, clearly not knowing exactly what the disagreement was about. 

In any case; you were free to find the right isle and grab the pet food, a cute dog collar, a few toys and flea treatment...just to be safe. After a long search around the store you manage to find Zoro and drag his ditsy ass to the cash registers.   

The same woman from earlier had to serve you though and she looks utterly mortified to see you again, to say the least. Scanning your items quickly, not muttering a single word and avoiding eye contact with both you and your new dog. 

Yeah, you better stand down, cunt! This dog is my family now, don't diss him!

"So, what will you call him?" Zoro questions as you step outside, his brows furrowing slightly when you stare up at him in bewilderment. "What? You can't buy him a collar and not name him!"

Oh, he means the dog. Right.

Looking down at the animal, you stare at him for a minute in deep thought. The cute little guy returning your stare with his tongue hanging out of his smiling mouth, the loving look radiating from him. 

Aw! He's so damn cute!

"...Chopper." You finally answer, deciding that the dog suits the name quite well. Zoro frowning a little in confusion but seemingly shrugging it off as he gets down to his knees, surprising you as he takes Chopper's paw in his hand, giving it a gentle shake.

"Hey Chopper, it's great to meet ya!" Zoro chimes with a large smile on his face, your cheeks heating up in utter adoration for the sight before you. "My name's Zoro and I'm gonna teach you how to attack on demand!"

Oh my God...he likes dogs. He likes dogs. HE LIKES DOGS!

Well, if you didn't find Zoro perfect before, you sure as hell do now. Your heart essentially melting in your chest as you stare down at the green-haired hottie in awe, Chopper seeming to like him too, the pooch leaning forward and licking his handsome face. 

Is it weird that I kinda wanna screw him again now??
