i’ve had this idea for awhile but i think you would execute it beautifully <333

so may i pls request a fic where zoro just assumes you’re dating bc you’ve been hanging out for awhile but you refuse to be his s/o until he asks you formally. and then the rest of the strawhats try to encourage him and give advice on how to ask you out

pls he’d be so annoyed but he’d take it begrudgingly bc he truly needs all the help he can get 😭😭😭

CHEAP SHoT+ / ☻

☻ / pairing . . . roronoa zoro x gn!reader.

☻ / type of love . . . romantic.

☻ / content warnings . . . mentions of sparring. not proofread.

☻ / commentary . . . it’s a bit different from my usual writing bcuz i wrote in 2nd person this time. but i really liked how this one turned out. but thank you for this ADORABLE request and trusting me with it ares !! <333333

It was a calm day aboard the Sunny. The ship was going full speed ahead to the next island. The Straw Hats had stuck to their usual activities, all except Zoro whose mind was too focused elsewhere to complete one of his unsparing training sessions.

Rather his mind was focused on someone else.

You.

You clouded every corner of his mind like no other. Whether it be your smile, your eyes, your confidence, and how proudly you carry yourself, you were always on his mind.

Upon joining the crew, Zoro immediately took to you. You had become his designated sparring partner, giving the swordsmen a run for his money like no other. Plus that little smirk you would always give when you had the upper hand in your sessions. It drove him MAD.

It was obvious Zoro was into you, just as it was obvious you were into him.

The lingering glances, the rather intimate touches during and after training sessions, the relentless flirting, and almost kisses where the tip of your noses touched but you would always turn on your heel just before he could close the space in between your lips.

This to Zoro meant you were already his. And while yes, you wanted him like no other, you still also wanted to be officially asked more than anything.

So when Zoro had tried to introduce himself as your boyfriend to some random citizen who was bothering you from the previous island the Straw Hats were docked, you shut him down, reminding him he never asked.

“Since when? I don’t recall ever being asked,” He remembered you saying, arms folded across your chest with a raised eyebrow. He tried to brush it off, asking why it was such a big deal in the first place.

You didn’t even answer, a brief hurt expression glossing passed your eyes. You tried to pretend like his words didn’t bother you, trying to understand this was something new for him too. But that didn’t make it hurt any less.

Zoro noticed it. He maybe couldn’t understand what was wrong but he definitely could see there was a problem and he was the cause of it. Being formally asked was something you cared about, and he made you feel bad about it. He’d never forgive him.

He had to do better if he wanted what the two of you had to work.

The thing was...he didn’t even know how to ask.

Did he just flat-out say it? Or was there some whole courting process he wasn’t aware of?

Having already been told about the situation by you, Nami and Robin had approached the swordsmen first. Chopper had tagged along, being held in Robin’s arms.

The advice the two women gave him was mostly simple and started off very light.

“Do something cute for them! Oh! Maybe some flowers and then talk about your feelings,” Nami suggested.

“You could ask after one of your sparring sessions when the two of you come down from the high of nearly killing one another,” Robin added, though everyone had chosen to swiftly move past the second part of her suggestion.

Chopper’s eyes lit up as he came up with an idea of his own, “Maybe get them some candy too!”

An eavesdropping captain had appeared over Nami’s shoulder, with a large piece of meat in tow, “Get them some food!”

“Luffy...do you even know what we’re talking about?” The orange-haired navigator questioned with an annoyed expression as she internally cringed at the sound of him violently chewing so close to her ear.

Luffy answered with a swift ‘Nope’ before continuing his loud chewing. Restraining herself from strangling him, Nami took a few steps forward, “We’re trying to help Zoro ask ( y/n ) out, so they can officially start dating.”

As if there were a disturbance across the sea, out of the corner of her eye, Nami could see Sanji nearly fall to his knees in defeat.

Seeing the cook, Chopper got an idea, “Maybe we could ask Sanji since he’s very romantic! Maybe he would know how to win ( y/n ) over!” With the sudden praise, the cook had regained some of his confidence back.

“Hard pass. I don’t need advice from him. Any advice he’d give me would just scare ( y/n ) away.”

And there went his confidence again.

“Umm...what just happened to Sanji?” Usopp had questioned.

“He got his feelings hurt.”

A few hours had passed. Zoro found himself in the training room, thinking of each of the suggestions given to him. The flowers, during training, over food.

Walking past Usopp, Franky, and Brook here, the trio offered the suggestion of taking them on some spontaneous date. Ax throwing was the first thing that came to Franky’s mind. It sounded like fun, but not likely the place to ask someone out.

On the complete opposite end, Jinbei suggests if he was in your place, he would love to be asked on a calm afternoon beach date. As the sun begins to set and the sky turns purple, whomever he loved confessed. Realizing what he said aloud, the fishman had flushed and tried to move past it.

But none of those suggestions even sounded remotely like something he would do. What if he couldn’t even pull them off? What if the suggestion he chose didn’t make you happy?

Knocking him out of his daze, the door to the training room to see you walk into the room. You were dressed in your usual training clothes, hands stuffed into your pockets, “I wanted to relax but couldn’t. Decided the next best thing was to come up to train with you, is that okay?”

“Y-Yeah...that’s fine. Wanna spar?”

“Only if you’re prepared to lose.”

Sparring with one another, the two of you were in your natural element. All smiles and giggles. The chemistry between the two of you had really shined through. He wanted it to never end.

As your weapons had clashed, he did what felt right to him.

“( y/n ), will you be mine?”

You froze in your tracks, taken aback by his sudden outburst.

“This is probably the worst time to even ask. You know I’m not good at this romantic stuff. But I want to learn for you. I want us to be official. Hell, I’ll scream to the world how much I care about you...how much I love you,” His eyes softened, pure love filling them as he stared longingly into yours.

“Zoro...” You trailed off, noticing he had left himself open, his usual strong defense was nowhere to be found. You took the chance to sweep his leg, before tackling him to the ground.

The green-haired swordsmen fit the ground with a loud thud, as you had straddled him, “I win!” Before Zoro could open his mouth, you leaned down to press a gentle kiss to the tip of his nose. “Yes, I will.”

“Well, that means we technically both won,” Zoro teased, unconsciously placing his hands on your hips, “You still cheap-shotted me. I was vulnerable.”

You pouted lightly, bringing a hand to his face to stroke his cheek, “I know, I’m sorry, my love. If you have any injuries I’ll be sure to take care of them.”

“Well now that you mention it...”
