1 Just hormones, right?

The crew had stopped at a new island to exchange gold for berries and to stock up on any necessities and Luffy decided that you and Zoro had to take care of the ship while everyone else was gone. Fine, whatever, you could stand a day or two alone with Zoro. Hopefully not more.

"Tch, did I really have to be left alone with you? You better not disturb me again!" Zoro looked at you as he was positioning himself to take a nap.

"Of course not! The last thing I wanna do is talk to you, ugly mosshead!" You walked away into the kitchen, hoping you'd be left alone there.

Zoro looked at you hoping to have the last word but seeing as you left, he kept it to himself. He closed his eyes and slowly began drifting off to sleep…

—————————

You were on the bed, legs wide open for him. He looked you up and down as if he was trying to memorize every inch of your body.

One of his hands slid to one of your erect nipples while his mouth took care of the other one. One of your hands moved to his head, resting on top of it as his free hand played with your clit.

"Zoro!" Oh god how amazing your moans sounded to him as he explored your body. He slid a finger inside of you but that quickly turned into two. He felt your climax getting closer and his fingers picked up a faster pace.

Just as he was going to see that beautiful expression as you came.

—————————

Zoro jumped up from his nap, looking around to check that nobody had came back. When he saw that there was in fact, no one, except the noise of you in the kitchen he sighed in relief.

He looked down at his erection, how could he get hard from you? The most annoying person in the crew? That couldn't be possible! It was just the hormones.

Just the hormones he repeated to himself.

He got up and quickly escaped to the bathroom, locking the door.

His hand slid down to his pants, unbuckling them and pulling them down along with his boxers. He closed his eyes and let his hand do the rest of the work. Slow strokes turned into frustrated hard ones, he couldn't feel himself getting anywhere. He took another breath and the memory of his dream from earlier came back to mind. He imagined you right there, on your knees jerking him off.

He came almost instantly. He was embarrassed from how fast he came just by the fake image of you giving him a handjob. He cleaned himself up and got out of that bathroom.

How was he supposed to talk to you now? Yes, he was supposed to hate you since you always got on his nerves! But what the hell was that dream? Why you out of everyone? It could've been Nami or Robin, or anyone he met during all his time sailing the sea! Why the hell you? His thoughts were interrupted by the door of the kitchen opening.

His eyes met yours. You two stared at eachother awkwardly for a few seconds.

"I don't think Sanji and the others are coming back tonight so I made dinner. I'm no amazing cook like Sanji but I can manage." You felt so awkward by offering him dinner made by you. It just felt weird.

"Hah, and you managed to not burn down the kitchen?" Zoro teased, a smirk forming in his lips.

"Oh fuck off. Nevermind it, I'm not offering dinner anymore, fend for yourself." You turned back into the kitchen.

Zoro smiled proudly as he managed to piss you off. Just one small problem. He was really hungry. He quickly followed you to the kitchen.

"Wait, wait. I'm hungry. You made food for two. It would be a shame if it went to waste." He gave you an expectant look.

"Oh so you decided to try my so horrible food?" You turned to him as you finished serving your own plate as you picked up another one and served the rest of the food on it.

Zoro sat down on the table and waited for you to give him the plate. When you finally did, he looked at the food and then at you. Then at the food again. And you again.

"Did you really make this? Are you trying to poison me?" He asked, the food looked really good. Suspiciously good. So good that he wondered if you were trying to pull any tricks.

"Hah!? What the hell are you on!? Does my food look that bad?" You asked a bit unsure of thats what he meant. "Dont eat it then, see if I care!"

"Not that, stupid girl. It just looks too good to be made by you." Did he just compliment your cooking? After insulting you? Well that was something new! As his words settled in for both of you, he quickly looked away from your gaze and started eating.

"Oh, is that so Marimo? Is that your way of giving me a compliment? It's a curious way for sure…." He could feel the smirk on your face. He didn't want to look up at all.

"Just shut up for once before I take it back." He ordered so you'd stop teasing him.

"Yes sir!!" A laugh escaped your lips before you started eating. Both of you were in silence as you ate, you were focused on your own meal but Zoro didn't seem to have the same idea in mind. You saw him quickly finish his meal and then you could feel his eyes looking at you. You didn't look up until you finished eating in case he wanted to say something stupid.

His plate was already empty and his eyes were focused on you, the images from his dream and his private moment in the bathroom coming back to his mind, your body, your expressions, your moans, the reactions you gave him. He felt his eyes lingering way too long over you, he seemed to be admiring every single detail of your clothed body and wondered if his dream was any similar to reality. Wait, what? What the hell was he thinking again? He thought he was going crazy.

"What are you looking at, Marimo? You look like an ugly beast." You asked in confusion, it had been a few minutes that you've felt Zoro looking at you like that. You couldn't quite explain it. It was new from Zoro…

"Fuck off, I got lost in thought. Not that I have to give you any explanations." He stated.

Could he ever just say "sorry" and move on? No, of course he had to fight it! He didn't even say thank you for the meal!

You looked at him and sighed.

"You could at least have the decency to say thank you." You got up and picked up his plate to wash the dirty dishes.

His hand stopped you and took his own plate to the sink.

"I'll do it." Was this his way of saying thank you?

"It's my turn to wash the dishes anyway, Zoro"

"Don't care, I'll just help dry them then."

You looked at him and he gave you the same look back, he didn't look like he was going to back down so you just agreed. You started washing the dishes, you cleaned one plane and passed it to Zoro to dry. You both repeated that until there were no dirty silverware or dirty dishes.

You wondered what the hell was up with Zoro today, he acted as rude as always but you felt like something had changed?

In Zoro's mind, this was a completely different story. He didn't even know why he offered to wash the dishes or insisted to help out. He just wanted to be around you. Maybe it was your perfume, or your company… He was trying to understand why the hell he had that dream.

"Alright, I'm taking a nap."

"Again? You had one less than an hour ago!"You looked up at him with a bit of judgement in your eyes. Who can sleep so much? It didn't make any sense to you.

"Any problems with my naps?" You shook your head as he asked. "Thought so."

The door was on the other side of the kitchen, he had to get through you to get to the door. See? This is what he meant, you were always in his way! But now you're also in his mind, which pissed him off even more. He placed his hands on your waist to make room for him.

You don't know why but you felt your cheeks blush as he did that, a simple motion but his hands just felt so big on your waist. It wasn't that you had a snatched waist or something super crazy, his hands were just big. You watched as he walked away, the blush still not leaving your face. You just hoped he didn't turn around.
