Zoro finding his s/o again after a long time and refusing to leave without them
I did want to do this one for both Zoro and Sanji too when I wrote the one for Luffy, but I figured I would write them separately
As per usual, Zoro had gotten himself lost while looking for Luffy, who had decided to take off as soon as the ship had been docked on the island they spotted. Why did the others think it would be a good idea to send him? No one knows.
“Where the hell did he go now?” He asked to no one in particular as he kept walking, getting a little frustrated at this point as he just kept getting more lost. However, a certain someone he had passed had heard his voice, and that someone was you.
“Zoro?” You looked over at him, as if to make sure you weren’t just imagining things. Zoro stopped in his tracks as he heard your voice, slowly turning around to face you.
“It really is you!” You went over to him, a faint smile on your face. It had been a long time since you had last seen him, but you knew why he left, and you didn’t blame him at all. While he wouldn’t admit it out loud, Zoro did miss you and had hoped to see you again. It’s as the old saying goes, distance makes the heart grow fonder. And that’s exactly what happened.
“I missed you, Zoro.” He was a bit surprised to hear that from you, but, he did miss you too. “But I don’t blame you or anything for leaving. Enough of that, though, I want to hear about your adventures! Tell me how you’ve been!”
“Alright, but only if you help me find someone.” You agreed, and the two of you searched around town to find Luffy. As you walked, he told you about the places he’s been and how he was doing. You listened intently as you kept an eye out for the straw hat captain. You had told him about how you were doing as well, and that you wished to spend time with him again like you used to.
It was in that moment that Zoro knew he wanted you to come along with him, and he wasn’t going to leave until you agreed.
“Y/n.” He had stopped walking, which caught your attention, now looking back at him.
“Is something wrong, Zoro?”
“I want you to come with me when we leave.”
“I want you to come with me, Y/n.” You were quite surprised by this. “I won’t leave without you. Not again.”
“But what about-“ you were going to ask him about his dream, and his promise, you knew that was made him leave the last time.
“Yes, I know, but I want you to be there.” You were silent for a few moments, processing the whole situation. While you did want to go with him, you had things to do here! But… you missed him and you didn’t want to let this opportunity slip away from you.
“I… alright, I’ll go with you, Zoro.”
“Great, now let’s go find our captain.” You chuckled a bit in response and went along with him to find Luffy, so he could officially make you a part of the crew.
