A/n: my fiancé and I have been watching once piece and I couldn't get this out of my head so enjoy this cheesy ass piece 😂
It was hard hiding your relationship from the crew, especially with Sanji's constant flirting. You would often catch the anger flare in Zorro's eyes and shoot him a quick warning glance to talk him down from committing murder that day. The captain never explicitly said no inter-crew relations but you both agreed it was best to keep it on the down low. Unfortunately you have a sneaking suspicion that Robin has figured it out. You knew she would be the first and it was only a matter of time, but you'd hoped she would be as oblivious as Luffy.
While surrounded by the crew you and moss head were friendly to each other, but not overly so as to attract wandering eyes, but at night you'd sneak off to the crows nest to spend time with your moss head. Tonight was no different. "Took ya long enough" he says as you tiptoe into the small area. Rolling your eyes you quip back "I had to wait for everyone to fall asleep," you turn around to face your now standing boyfriend, "and you know how Robin is." He just grunts in acknowledgment and wraps his arms around your waist. Instinctively yours curl around his neck softly as a gentle kiss is shared between the two of you. He lets his forehead rest against yours as you sigh, "we should tell them." He hums pulling you into a hug. He doesn't need to say anything else. You already know what he's thinking. Right now it's just the two of you and tonight it will stay that way, at least until you needed to return to your bunk.
**********
Rolling over your head lands on the firm chest of Zorro as you nuzzle comfortably into him. Wait, Zorro?! Your eyes shoot open as you bolt up right. Zorro wakes from the sudden movement, "Oi! What are you doing here?!" He say in a harsh whisper, "you're supposed to be back in your bunk!"
"I don't know!" You shoot back, "I don't even remember falling asleep! Why didn't you wake me up?!"
"You think I'd let you sleep here if I remembered you falling asleep!?" He adds sharply.
You nod once realizing your position. "Right, well maybe there's still-" you let the sentence die as you look out the windows to see Nami already yelling at Luffy. Zorro follows your gaze and sighs running a hand down his face. Your heart sinks when you hear Sanji call out "someone tell moss head breakfast is ready." You and Zorro share the same horrified look as Franky agrees and makes his way up to the crows nest. "What are we going to do!?" You whisper frantically knowing there's no reasonable explanation for you being up here. "Um" Zorro says before he's interrupted by Franky opening the door saying "Hey Zorro foo- hey (y/n). When'd you get up here?" Before you can stop it your body acts on its own and reaches for Zorro's hand signaling him to make up an excuse.
You can tell Franky's eyes follow your movements and you quickly drop Zorro’s hand swallowing hard. A smirk forms on the cyborgs face as the pieces fall into place. "If you tell anyone, especially that crappy cook, I'll slice your tongue off!" Zorro threatens. Franky holds up his hands in defense, "hey brother your secrets safe with me. I just came to tell you foods done." Franky kept his word and didn't tell anyone, but that didn't stop you from having to come up with an excuse for the rest of the crew. Or stop Franky from giving you two side glances and weird remarks when no one else was around. You guys should really tell the rest of the crew.
