When Swords Collide {Roronoa Zoro X Reader}

Unrelenting Feelings

"KANPAI" everyone cheers as you all celebrate you and Franky joining the crew. You also meet Usopp who is the ship's snipper.

"I still can't believe you built this ship Franky"

"It's suuuper awesome isn't it"

"Sure is"

"(Y/n)-swan, I'm so glad you joined us. Now we have three beautiful ladies on our crew."

You blush at his comment earning a stare from Zoro. He knew you were hurting, but he would do anything to keep you from Sanji.

"Would you like another drink (y/n)-chawan?"

"No thank you Sanji" his eyes turn to hearts and he faints as he mumbles "she...she said...she said my name"

You giggle and Zoro rolls his eyes in disgust.

"Shut up you damn love cook."

You glance at Zoro from the corner of your eyes and sigh inwardly.

As the party goes on you laugh so much your clutching your sides in pain and your cheeks hurt. Luffy and Chopper are doing some weird trick with chopsticks up their noses and in their mouths, but it's to funny not to laugh.

One by one everyone goes off to bed. Franky has to carry a passed out Luffy. Zoro is asleep against the side of the ship on the upper deck. They leave him there knowing he won't mind. He sleeps on deck quite often.

"Are you coming (y/n)?" You hear Nami calling you.

"I'll be there in a few minutes, I wanna clear my mind."

"Okay" Nami and Robin head off to the girls room leaving you alone.

It was a beautiful night. The sky was clear and tons of stars were visible. You sat down on the swing and push yourself slowly with your feet not leaving the ground. A cold breeze blows and makes you rub your arms as a chill goes through you.

You then feel a blanket being placed on your shoulders. You look up and see Zoro looking down at you with a smile. "Can we talk"

"About what Zoro"

"Us"

"There is no us, you made that clear when you left."

"I told you I didn't mean to leave you. I got lost and couldn't find my way back to you and then Luffy found me and saved me from execution."

"Save it Zoro. If I ment that much to you then you would have asked Nami to find that island."

"I didn't remember the name or even any details of where it could be. I'm so sorry." He hangs his head in sorrow.

You stand and let the blanket fall off of you. "I'm going to bed, it's been a very long day."

"Wait I wanna ask you one more question."

You stop and look at him over your shoulder "What is it."

"How did you get that scar on your neck." His face and tone dead serious.

You sigh and look away. "It's not the only one I have, but maby I'll tell you the story when I can trust you again."

"I see. If that is how you feel. I'll wait till your ready to tell me. I'm sure your curious about this." He says running his fingers over his large scar.

"I am, but for now Goodnight Zoro"

"Goodnight"

You both went to your rooms, but you couldn't sleep. The thought of Zoro being so close to you and not being in his arms made you cry. You wanted so bad to be with him, but you feared feeling that vulnerable again.
