Worth The Wait? (Seme Male Reader x Zoro) {One Piece}

chapter 29

to whom it may concern,

if you are reading this letter, then the news of my death has gotten out. there is probably a scramble for all of my shit, since none of you actually cared about me. im glad i was able to spend my last few weeks with the one i love, even though he made it clear my feelings weren't reciprocated. its sad really but true. its neither here nor there. the reason im leaving this note is obvious so ill get right to the point. concerning all of my assets, what i want is simple.

i wish for everything i own to be split between the one i fell out of love with and the one i loved but who couldn't love me back.

sighed

Sir Crocodile Aegis Saltwater IV

"normally we would ignore something like this since it is easily forgeable, but....since he didn't have a will and the signature was written in blood, it has to be accepted. the thing is...he wants his stuff to be split but didn't say how. we have to arrange a meeting with doffy and you to talk this out," she explained. "that's gonna be kinda tough, since he is in france," i said. she sighed. "either we come up with a way to bring him here, or, unfortunately you have to go to him in france. i know you probably wouldn't mind if you could bring zoro but you know we can risk him knowing," she said. "we cant just talk on the phone?" she shook her head. "no one on the outside can know about this. the only reason doffy is even considered in this is cause he is crocodile's ex husband. since they were married for a time, he was given permanent immunity and abolition from the underworld affairs. its the only reason he is alive and can go about his daily life with no interference from the underworld," she explained. i swear its like everyday the underworld wants to keep me and zoro apart. "i know and it pains me to have to do this when you are just now getting to be with zoro but this is serious. the only way zoro can know anything about this is if you two were married," she said. i nodded. i cant do that to zoro. i dont want to force him to marry me when we have only know each other a few months. i dont want a bitter relationship with him. i dont want to get married only to want a divorce later on. i want to get to know him and let us get to that point naturally. im sure it would happen, just not so soon. "i gotta say, im getting a major sense of Deja vu. this situation was very similar to what happened with doffy and crocodile. crocodile didn't want to keep lying to doffy about what he did for a living so he insisted they get married. even though they had only been dating for around 6 months," she thought aloud. oh great. its like im experiencing my very own future with zoro. nope. not gonna let that happen. ill do whatever i need to do to keep him in the dark. he wont know till we get married on our own terms. when we  are confident we want this to last. when we can get married when we are actually in love. "how can we get in contact with doffy?" i asked. she thought about it. "some how you need to call him directly. you cant go through his assistants or his business. like a personal cell or house phone," she said. i didn't have any of those things. "what about just showing up at his house? that is the only thing i know about his personal life," i said. she thought it over. "that could work. that was actually how crocodile talked to him and they had sex more often than not. ill get the trip organized right away. you gotta somehow explain this to zoro," she said. she motioned for the driver to take us back.

he was sitting up in the bed watching tv when i got back. he grunted. "babe...we need to talk," i said reluctantly. his eye widened. "dont worry...its not that talk but it is big,"  i said. he seemed to calm down. "we can talk while you give me a sponge bath," he said. i nodded. i walked over and helped him out of bed. he wrapped his arms and legs around me and i carried him to the bathroom we share. i sat him on the sink. i took off my shirt and pulled off his clothes. "sooo...what's going on?" asked as i washed him. "business trip to france for a couple of days," i just came out with it. no reason to sugar coat it. i just got straight to the point. "sounds cool. ive never been to france before," he said. i sighed. "unfortunately, you cant come," his face twisted in anger. "and why not?" he said. "i cant tell you the details. basically a meeting to discuss some very important stuff," i said. "does that mean you wont be here for my therapy?" he asked. "just the first couple of days of it," i said. he grimaced and looked away. "look...babe. i made a lot of mistakes that are just now coming back to bite me in the ass. its a lot of stuff that i need to take care of so that we can be together with no problems. i dont wanna see you getting hurt again because of my mistakes. just...let me take care of this. just know that everything im doing that i cant tell you about right now is so that we can be together with no issues," i tried to explain. he grunted. "im tired of all these secrets you have. makes me feel like you dont trust me," he said. "it was never that i didn't trust you. its just...you knowing what i know that is the problem. just the simple fact that you know that would put you in danger and i, no matter how much i want to, cant spend 24 hours a day with you, trying to keep you safe," i said. "i dont need you to protect me. i can handle myself. i just wish you would see that. i want to help you. since you are my boyfriend, i dont want you thinking you gotta do this alone," he whispered. i finished cleaning him and rested my hands on either side of him. "i wouldn't think that even if it were true. im just tying up loose ends so that when we can finally be together like we want to," i grinned and ran a finger down his chest," there isn't anything hanging over my shoulders that can get in the way," i kissed him. he pulled away and rested his hands on my shoulders. "look, mark. when i say i want to be with you, i want to be with all of you. that means the very good, the good, the bad, and the down right ugly. i want all of you. your mistakes are my mistakes. your struggles are my struggles. you burden is my burden. your secrets are my secrets.  i dont care what you think will happen to me, i wanna know, now," he said. "i...i just cant zoro. the only way i can tell you is if we got married. i dont wanna force that on you. i dont wanna make us have to move faster than what we are comfortable with. i want us to take our time. get to know each other. i dont want us rushing anything," i said. he grunted in frustration. "dont be like that, babe. im telling you this cause i want us to be together for good. nothing hanging over our heads. no one else trying to get in the way. just....let me handle this," i whispered. i kissed him. i pulled away. "im leaving probably sometime tonight. we can be together till then," i said. i noticed i didn't bring him a change of clothes. i started out the bathroom. he grabbed my shoulders and pulled me back. "...l-lets do it," he whispered. i was surprised. "do what?" i asked. "get married," he grunted. "dont do that zoro. i dont want us doing this just cause you want to know my secrets. i just wanna take care of this so we can date properly and come to that decision when we feel comfortable with it. marriage is a big deal, zoro. its not something you can just back out of when we can finally have sex. i want-" my face started stinging. he fucking slapped me across my face. "what the fuck was that for?" i asked, rubbing my stinging cheek. "you think i dont know what it means to get married? it means i wanna get old with you and you alone. i wanna see you every day for the rest of my life. i wanna wear the fucking ring and do the ceremony. say some cheesy ass vows. say 'i do'. cut the cake. dance together. break millions of hearts by taking you off the market for good. make babies somehow. cuddle and shit. i know all too well what it means to get married. you dont have to explain that to me. its my life to live and i chose to live it with you, as Zoro Alex Roronoa-(L/N)," he kissed me. i couldn't help but grin ear to ear. he pulled away a little. "i wanna hear you say it," he whispered. i giggled. "...i love you," i said. he grinned. "i love you too, now say it," he said. i took a deep breath. "Mr Zoro Roronoa, will you do me the honor of becoming my husband?" i asked. he grinned. "you damn right i will," another kiss. made my heart melt a little. yeah. i think i can live with this.
