Dream Chasers: Zoro x Reader

Chapter 8: Nami's Antics

I won't be able to get to Wattpad tomorrow so here you all go. Early update.

Zoro's firm grip on your wrists kept your feet planted in place. You wanted to run. Zoro knew you'd run. But he refused to let go, his refusal to lose you. A swirling cyclone of hatred and sadness filled the room, and that was just coming from you.

Your eyes were locked onto the ground. Unable to look at Zoro straight in the eye. "You dense bastard..." Eyelids clamped shut in refusal to let tears run free. You couldn't even describe what it all felt like to be thrown away.

"(Y/n)..." Zoro's grip loosened as your words felt like a dagger shoved in his backside. Slowely draining the life and reasoning from him.

"I don't get it..." Taking deep breaths in, keeping your cool. "I just basically told you my true feelings Zoro. And- And your reaction was telling me we should never see each other again?!" In the end, you could not keep your cool. Yanking and yanking to free your hands. Strangling the Mosshead was the only objective on the mind.

"Stop it (Y/n)!" Zoro's grip tightened, nearly crushing your bones as if it was nothing. "I don't break promises. I agreed to become a pirate for Luffy. My reasoning for breaking us apart is the same as before. I'm not forcing you to become a pirate (Y/n)."

"That's not the problem here Zoro!" Instead of pulling back to free your hands, you used Zoro's brute strength to punch himself in the face. Dazed for just a second.

"Oh yeah, then what is?" Zoro shook off his probably well needed punch the face.

"I LOVE YOU ZORO! You're not even acknowledging that," Zoro rolled his eyes. Letting you go, you slapped him. Everybody saw it coming.

"I heard you the first three times," your best friend growled with a small fire in his grey eyes. "I love you too (Y/n) but if you aren't willing to join me for the adventure ahead, then what's the point?" Zoro made you freeze in realization that he was correct. If you aren't going to be around, there's no sense in even trying.

"Zoro..." Another deep breath in to be let out even slower. You were calm. "My dream would be incomplete without you. We both agreed to become the greatest swordsmen in the world."

"Now was that so hard for you to process?" Zoro bent down slightly to your level. Mocking your shortness in height just to purposely enrage you even more.

"Shut up before I punch you again."

"Go ahead. Your punches don't hurt," you were about to retaliate but drew back. You were a weakling when it came to hand to hand combat.

"Just tell me you love me before I curl up and die in the corner," you pointed with one finger towards the corner of the room blindly. Hoping and hoping Zoro really isn't as dense as you take him to be.

"Okay," Zoro rested his forehead against yours. "For years I thought that you only saw me as your brother. Until you kissed me a few months ago, So If you were to die tomorrow, I'd blame it on myself for not being there to protect you." There it is... Zoro admitted his love for me just like I did. Zoro loves me!!!

Before you could even let a word peep out from your lips, Zoro closed the space with his own. His hands rested upon your hips, pulling you close almost flush against his muscle popping chest. But it was shock on your end that kept your body frozen, yet soaking up each drop of affection Zoro gave you.

"Whoa!" Luffy awed, head poking out of the doorway. Coby and Rika were following the same action, heads popping out from behind the wall. With a flustered burning face, you parted with Zoro kiss. Hand rested upon his chest as he supported your back.
