"Is that good?" He asked genuinely curious.
"What is?"
"That I smell like him?"
"Tis the reason why I let you in my bed in the first place, weird handsome stranger." Yep, you were pretty much saying everything that crossed your mind.
Zoro laughed, pressing you tighter against his body. Feeling you against him sent a pleasant tingling warmth across his entire body, making him sigh in contempt as you latched yourself onto his body.
"What do you think about him?"
"He's a jerk!" You frowned grumpily.
"How come?" He kept on pushing you. This was his chance to know if you actually liked him or not.
" 'cause he's a stupid handsome jerk that doesn't acknowledge other girls' feelings!" You kept on ranting about him, mad that he had broken your heart tonight.
"He's a jerk." You repeated, this time in a lower, more hurt voice. Sensing the sadness you were feeling because of him, Zoro slipped his hand under your shirt, not in a dirty way but in a way to make you feel his skin against tours, bringing you warmth and comfort.
"What other girls' feelings?"
"Mine." You barely whispered, nuzzling further into the man's chest.
"W-why are you saying that?"
"Because I'm just jealous that he fell in love with Hiyori and not me. Because I love him and I have loved him ever since I was some stupid child, and he's too thick headed to ever notice me or appreciate me as a potential partner." You mumbled, tears stinging your eyes as you felt like a failure of a woman. You weren't good enough.
As you finally confessed to him, he felt his heart beat in excitement. You liked him back. But why were you mad at him earlier? Maybe drunk you wasn't really speaking with the whole truth. Still, tired of playing around with his and your feelings after years of not acknowledging each others' emotions, he decides to assume the best. The signs showed exactly that you liked each other and that you had been both too chicken to confess.
"What if I told you he was in love with you, just like you are with him."
Your eyes got teary once again. You knew he didn't, he loved Hiyori. Only in your fantasies would he pick you over the gorgeous woman.
"He doesn't."
"Yes he does."
"No he doesn't! He thinks I'm just his friends' stupid little sister. Besides, he has like a thousand gorgeous women after him. Agh!" You were frustrated, and this deliciously buff stranger was only making your psychological wounds hurt even more. He wasn't helping you at all.
"(Y/N), look at me." He ordered.
"No." You replied childishly. "I want to sleep. But don't leave!" Zoro chuckled at you, finding you adorable.
"I love you, (Y/N)"
"I don't care." You replied, squished against him. "I only care about Zoro."
"Well you're putting me in a difficult position then." He nuzzled his nose into your hair, taking in your intoxicating scent.
"(Y/N), look at me, please."
"Why?" You asked, eyes shut closed. Sighing, Zoro grabbed your chin, pulling your head up and giving him a better angle to stare at your luscious lips. They were tempting him. A lot.
"Open your eyes." Scoffing because mystery man wasn't letting you sleep, you opened your eyes, your view blurry with tears.
"What?"
"Look at me Turtle."
You stared up at him, just as he had ordered you.
"Mmm what?"
"Are you really this drunk?"
"Hey!" You hummed in thought. "Well, yes."
You kept on staring at him, every single thought that crossed your mind going out through your lips.
"Wait... strong jawline, Zoro scent, three earrings, scar... and green hair!" You looked into his eyes.
"Oh, Zoro?"
"Yes."
"When did you get here?"
"(Y/N)-"
"Get out of here! Go back to Hiyori! What the hell are you doing in my bed?!" You wiggled around, surprised to see your life long crush in bed with you after he had been making out with another woman, the one he actually loved.
Chuckling at you, he held your face delicately with his strong fingers and kissed you, shutting you up immediately. The kiss was light, your lips barely touched each other. He wanted to kiss you better once you were conscious. He wanted you to remember your first kiss with him.
"Zoro..." Your blurry eyes dropped tears again, Zoro hugging you tight against him and kissing the top of your head repeatedly. "W-what did you just do?" You asked, not understanding what was going on around you as you were super drunk.
"(Y/N), do you like me back?"
You nodded quietly, sniffing a little as you cried in his arms.
"Let's talk tomorrow then." Giving you a final squeeze, he put all of his strength into kissing your forehead and peeling himself away from you, even though not a single inch of his body wanted to be away from you.
"W-wait!" He halted his steps, internally wishing that you'd ask him to lay back down with you. "Don't leave." You said, in a soft innocent voice.
"(Y/N) I think-"
"Please." You stared at him with your famous puppy eyes, melting his heart in a second. He climbed back inside with you, taking off his shoes and shirt and letting you nuzzle tightly against his body. He wanted to kiss you deeply and tell you how much he loved you, but he had to wait until you felt better. He also wanted to claim you as his and make you his girlfriend. Still, he had waited years for this moment, and he wouldn't mind waiting a couple of extra hours. Tomorrow, you'd get all of this cleared up and, hopefully, you'd finally get together, maybe even accept to go on a date.
There was still some doubt left in his heart. What if you didn't remember anything tomorrow? Then you'd wake up with him half naked in your bed, and of course that wouldn't look good. Maybe you'd think that he was doing perverted and improper advances on you while unconscious. Zoro would never do that, though. And you knew it.
