Highschool Crush (Roronoa Zoro x Reader) AU

Comfort

You glared at him playfully.

"Don't be a jerk! You know I can handle my tequila." You said, smiling proudly at yourself, the world around you beginning to move in weird different directions.

Oh oh. Maybe I can't handle it that well.

"Come to think of it I better sit down." You smiled sheepishly at your friend, arms open for him to guide you through the bunch of people onto a couch.

Law chuckled and picked you up, making his way over to the living room, the exact spot you were running away from. Law saw Zoro look at you worriedly, seeing a chance to leave your irresponsible ass with someone that could take care of you so that he could go back to the party and relax.

"Zoro, you take care of her for a while alright?" Zoro, looking how you were gripping tightly at the tan male, felt his chest boiling with jealousy. He looked up at Law, fire taking over his orbs as he saw your state. You couldn't even stand on your own two feet.

"Why would you let her drink like this?" He was mad, but it wasn't really because you were drunk. He was mad because of how tightly you were gripping onto the doctor. Zoro wanted to take his place.

"I didn't let her drink, she can make her own decisions." He replied smirking at the green haired man. "I found her like this anyways." Law got defensive, not really understanding from where the aggression from his friend was coming.

"It's fine Law, leave her with us." Answered Sabo. Law dropped you gently on the couch, right in the spot next to Zoro, and left without saying a word, eyeing Zoro suspiciously as the green haired man stiffened up when your figure fell on him.

You looked up, feeling something warm next to you. Strong jawline, tan skin, three earrings, green hair... you squinted your eyes trying to see who the fuck your body had fallen into.

Oh. OH.

You quickly moved away from him, having felt how tense he got the moment Law dropped you next to him.

"Err, anyways, I'm going back to Koala." Everyone stared at you, chuckling.

"I'm right here dumbass." Koala flicked your forehead, finally making you see that she was, in fact, sat next to you and cuddled up to her boyfriend.

"Oh." You frowned, but got up anyways, feeling once again the room twisting and turning around you, your body almost dropping to the floor if Zoro hadn't caught you mid air.

"Be careful." He muttered, placing you delicately back into the couch.

"Don't touch me." You snapped, making everyone stare at you in surprise. Huffing and regaining your composure, you dusted off your clothes and made your way outside, not wanting to be near him at all.

"(Y/N)! Wait!" Zoro stood up and trailed behind you, grabbing you by the wrist. Your breath hitched and your body froze in place. You hated it, but the warmth his hand gave off to your skin was actually very pleasant. You didn't turn back.

"What?" You muttered.

"What happened?"

"Nothing."

"Come on (Y/N)! Did I say anything to get you upset?" Sighing, you realized you were being an ass. It wasn't his fault that he didn't like you back, he simply didn't. You couldn't force someone to love another person if he simply didn't, and you had made Zoro feel bad because of your childish attitude.

"I'm sorry Zoro. It's not your fault." You turned around to look at him with a gentle smile, your sadness evident in your eyes.

"(Y/N)... what happened?" He said, coming a little closer and embracing your form softly. He felt you were sad, he could see it in your eyes and it broke his heart. He didn't want to see you like this, he wanted to be able to make you happy. Your heart fluttered and your cheeks grew red, seeing that he was worried about you made you fuzzy inside, but you weren't about to fall back into giving yourself hopes with him. And you weren't ready to be friends with him. Not yet.

"I'm fine."

"You're clearly not." You frowned. Boy was he being insistent.

"Just don't worry, ok?" You looked up at him, but your eyes were blurred with tears, making Zoro's chest hurt. He didn't want to see you hurt and whoever had made you feel this bad he'd swear to send to hell.

"(Y/N) I-"

"There you are!" Koala laughed nervously as she saw your state: drunk as heck and about to cry, all in front of the only man you wouldn't want to see you that way.

"Zoro I've got this from here." She peeled him off you and hugged you tightly, leading you back outside seeing that Zoro still hadn't walked away from you.

"Maybe making you come was a mistake..."

"Please Koala, I'm just stupid enough to think that I stood a stupid chance."

"(Y/N)-"

"Stop pitying me, alright? Just leave me alone." You huffed. You were drunk out of your ass, everything was spinning and your chest hurt like hell.

"No."

"No?"

"No!" She huffed, making you scoff.

"Whatever." You muttered, sitting down in a chair by the pool and closing your eyes, trying to get the freaking room to stop spinning so much. Koala sat opposite to you, waiting for you to feel better. She was mad at Zoro for being so thick headed, and she was mad at you for letting him hurt you so much.

"When did she get back out here?" Asked Law as he sat down next to you, hooking an arm around your shoulders in attempts to warm you up a bit so you wouldn't get sick. Although, because of the effects of the alcohol, your body was on fire, fuzzy and warm.

"When she decided she was going to be a jerk and not talk about her issues!" She said, glaring at you.

"Come on (Y/N)-ya, what's wrong?"

"I don't want to talk about it." Law sweat dropped, seeing you mumble drunkenly.

"Does it have to do with Zoro-ya?" Although you didn't think it was possible, you felt your face get even warmer, cheeks even redder than before.

"Whatever." You said, mad at yourself. But hey, you were drunk, and in the fuzzy kind of drunk state were you just wanted to go back to bed and cuddle, hopefully to the handsome green haired man but the idiot decided he loved a woman who, by the way, was five years older than him.

Old hag. She's too old for him.

"She's too old for him." You repeated out loud.

"Who?" Asked Koala.

"Hiyori is too old for Zoro! And she's a fake bitch." You kept on rambling on the many reasons of why she wouldn't be a good partner for Zoro for a couple of minutes, Koala finally deciding she had had enough.

"Alright! I'm going to kill myself if you keep on this lame little party of yours. You're either coming with me to get you some water or make Law want to kill himself." Law chuckled at you two, he always thought that your friendship with Koala was hilarious. You were really good together.

"Mhm." You mumbled, feeling sleepiness taking over you as you leaned onto Law's shoulder.

"(Y/N)! Come on! Stand up!" Said Koala exasperated.
