The One : Roronoa Zoro X Reader

29

"This is my girlfriend, F/N." Zoro shifted from the younger woman peeling her grip away, "Now, apologize."
She offered you a curt smile and extended a delicate hand, "Excuse me, a simple mistake."
You reluctantly shook her hand as Zoro moved closer to you, "Sure."

You weren't sure how to react. There were very few people your boyfriend was associated with that you hadn't already met through your brother. Even fewer of those people were women.

"You're so cold, you could at least introduce me." she whined brushing a teal lock behind her ear.
"That's Hiyori." Zoro muttered.
"We dated in high school." she chimed happily.
"Hardly," he grumbled, "she followed me around and everyone made a big deal out of it."
"Well, we did sleep together." she shrugged with a smug smile.

It was clear she was trying to rile you up.

Zoro's hand came down on the countertop startling both of you. Of all the times your little brother pestered the shit out of him you'd never seen him this frustrated.

"Hey," he growled.

You calmly placed your hand over his drawing it back to rest in your lap sandwiched between yours.

"It's fine, Tiger." you tilted your head toward the teal haired woman, "There's something that comes with age, and that is understanding that the past is just that. You had a life before me, that's alright."

You'd decided your best course of action was to not let her get what she wanted even though your insides burned with jealously. Rationally speaking it was ridiculous to be jealous about something that happened before you really existed in his life, after all you had eleven years on the guy. But having this woman sitting here so smugly rubbing your face in it was infuriating. You couldn't give her the satisfaction.

Zoro sat quietly next to you, brow twitching in annoyance that this conversation was even taking place. She was bringing up events out of context just to see how you’d respond. He wasn’t surprised with your diplomatic approach, in public you represented the family; had it been a more private setting he was sure you’d have shown your true colors.

“Well,” Hiyori stepped down from the barstool glancing around the old diner, “I’ll leave you to your geriatric date.”
“Finally.” Zoro muttered lurching forward as she ran her finger over his back.
She stopped at your side placing that same hand on your shoulder with a small fake smile, “Pleasure meeting the competition.”
“Oh, honey,” you scoffed turning slightly, “there is no competition and the pleasure is definitely all yours.”

Her smile widened as she chuckled and finally made her exit.

Zoro huffed and ran his left hand over his face, “I’m sorry about that.”
“Nothing I can’t handle, Tiger.” you smirked, “She’s a real piece of work.”
“That’s one way of putting it.” he sighed, “luckily she isn’t in town long. Hopefully we won’t run into her again.”
“Or if we do it isn’t in public so I can slap that smug look off her face.” you grumbled.
“I was worried there at the end.” the greenette chuckled.
“It was a very thin thread I was I holding onto.” you smiled before leaning into him.

"They did not sleep together." Nami laughed leaning against Luffy as they sat on the living room floor.
"They did though." Luffy commented nonchalantly.
"Not like that." she pushed him gently.
"Huh? There's other ways to sleep." the youngest asked confused.

Nami deadpanned and leaned to his ear to whisper something making his face heat up a bit.

"You're too pure." Ace laughed.
"Am not," Luffy argued, "we've slept like that!"
"Luffy!" Nami yelped swatting him upside the head.
"Ah-ah-ah." the youngest cowered away from his girlfriend.
