1: In which Zoro faces the greatest obstacle in his life -
Zoro never thought he would say this but what he was about to do will definitely be the biggest challenge of his life. Screw being the best swordsman in the world. That was easy compared to this.
Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the wooden door, the sound jolted his entire being and he felt like he could leap ten feet into the air from nervousness.
A few thumps came from behind the door and Zoro was sure he was sweating buckets. The sound of wood on wood had never been so ominous.
The door opened all of a sudden with a goddamn screech of its hinges. Zoro did his best to imitate a smile, although that came out more of a cringe. He gulped. His mouth was dry. He knew he should have taken at lest ten shots of vodka before doing this. But then again that might just backfire on him.
"Hi... Umm... It's been a while." Zoro started. The word moron ringing through his head once the words fell out of his mouth. He should have rehearsed this more. All the training in the world could not make him any more eloquent.
The man before him raised an eyebrow, giving him a look of "what the flying fuck".
"Zeff, I mean, sir, can I... I mean, may I have your son for the rest of my life? Our life? - Fuck - shit. What I really meant was, can you give us your blessings?"
Zoro really couldn't blame the old man when the door was promptly slammed in his face.
Guess it was another rejection.
A/N: Of course, this was inspired by the song Rude by MAGIC! How could I resist?
