This is the Life (Zoro x reader)

Clear sky and mind

It was a nice evening . Full of chatting und cuddling up together to keep warm. Everyone enjoyed each other's company. But with every passing minute you just got more and more worried about Zoro .
What if he is seriously in danger...freezing while trying to find us ....
Horrible images popped up in your head .

"(Y/n)... worried about Zoro again?" You heard an amused voice shaking you out of your thoughts . Turns out it belonged to Robin . After giving her a confused look she continued
"Your face gave it away".

"Ugghhh dont let that dumb Marimo mess with your pretty head " Sanji grumbled lighting an other Cigarette.  You could feel Nami balling a fist again but you just took her hand.

"Oiiiii shishishishiiii. I think our swordsman has returned " Luffy laughed turning his head . Your eyes lit up when you saw the mess of green hair appear at the top of the ladder .

Not realizing Nami was watching you .
"Zoroooo . Where have you been " Chopper whined running towards him and hugging his leg . He couldn't hide the slight smile on his face at that .

"No like for real where were you?" Sanji shouted in his annoyed tone.

"Not like it's any of your business 0-star-cook but I took a walk ..." ...
"Why is everyone looking at me like that ???"

That's when the rest of the crew burst into laughter knowing damn well he got lost somewhere in the woods. But to be honest , you just laughed out of relieve.

Zoro cursed silently sitting down across from you , one leg stretched out and the other towards his chest to rest his elbow lazily on his knee. You found this so absurdly sexy since he was just sitting in a comfy way but for some reason his body made it look like a peace of art you couldn't help but admire.

He was the only one to not have a blanket . And something else seemed to be off. That's when you felt Nami elbowing you . "What is it"
you asked quietly under everyone else's chatting .
"You do realize this stupid swordsman really wants you to sit next to him right ?"
She asked making you raise an eyebrow once again .
"You heard that right . All he does is stare at you since the day we met . He's not good at expressing any kind  feelings . And it's obvious he's to shy to just come sit here. "
You weren't sure if you just heard that correctly. A strong , muscular , handsome swordsman ... was to scared to sit next to you?

"You actually think so ?? Doesn't he like ..interact with woman all the time ?"

"Zoro has never been the one to be interested in that . All he cared for was his training . I'm guessing he is trying madly to keep that illusion up but I've known him for long enough know. He has never shown that much interest in any woman we met before ."

"But...it feels like he doesn't show interest at all " you added thinking about his stupid way of saying 'whatever'

"Well that's how you see that this man has absolutely no clue on how to handle girls "

You couldn't help but laugh out loud at the absurdity of it . Not believing it was that simple .

"Well if you will excuse me then" you said getting up and grabbing your blanket .

The crew grew silent to watch your actions . Zoro didn't seem to think much of it until he noticed you were coming his way . Moving an empty can of nuts with your foot , you settled down next to him . At the same time draping your blanket over his and your shoulders .

He looked at you , crimson red and in complete disbelief . You just smiled

"What? I thought you might be cold "

The others slowly began their chatting again taking most of the attention off you and Zoro. You took the chance to move closer your shoulder being softly pressed against his .
