Sharing a Bed with Zoro
♙:Sharing a bed
It was another one of those loud and busy nights aboard the Thousand Sunny. There was cause to celebrate and so food and alcohol were flowing. Music was being played, people were shouting more than they were singing. All in all, everyone was having a good time.
You spent the evening interacting with all the crew members, whether it was for a chat or just to act silly for a couple of minutes. The only person you had avoided being Zoro.
Ever since you had realised your feelings for him were more than just friendly, you had a hard time approaching him. Not that you suddenly ignored him, you could still be courteous of course. But your usual proximity and closeness suddenly felt like too much. You did not want for Zoro to misunderstand the situation and still act the same because to him it was friendly behaviour but not to you.
As the night was slowly coming to an end, you made your way to your cabin, only to find the man you had been avoiding all night sitting by the door.
With a chuckle you asked: "What are you doing here?"
Not obtaining a response, you opened the door to your cabin. As you were about to enter, Zoro suddenly asked back: "Why are you avoiding me?"
You froze. You knew you couldn't lie to him. You rattled your brain trying to find the best way to formulate your feelings, without outright confessing to him.
"I-", you started. "I'm not sure we can be friends any longer. At least for now."
Zoro sighed, standing up. Rubbing his temples he declared: "You're such a pain in the ass sometimes, Y/N."
"Thanks," you said, laughing bitterly, even though you knew he had every right to say that after what you told him.
"How oblivious do you think I am exactly?"
His question took you aback once more. You couldn't help but avoid his gaze.
"I think I know why you've been avoiding me. And I just want to let you know I don't care... Or rather, I don't mind."
You looked back at him. Even in the dim light, you could perceive the slightest blush on his cheeks.
"What now then?" you asked, unsure.
After a pause, Zoro answered: "I think it's time to go sleep."
You nodded
"Would you," you started without thinking, "... like to sleep here? With me?"
Zoro smiled at you and followed you inside your cabin.
Without exchanging another word, you swiftly got in bed.
You maybe fell asleep on opposite sides of the mattress that night, but when you woke up, it was in Zoro's arms.
Hey @rivvd-art ! I hope you enjoyed what I came up with despite the little wait I put you through! The sharing a bed is not the focus of the story anymore at this point, but I still had fun writing it tbh ^^"
