Waiting for you
Hi there, meme12 here! This is my first One Piece fanfic. I apologized if any details are off since I have totally lost track of the show and everything so…ha…
One Piece yaoi
Warning: OOC
Zoro x Luffy, Zoro x Mihawk
Mihawk Hawk eyes fell in love with Zoro. But Zoro's heart is with another and he allows the male to leave after training under him for 2 years with a grieving heart and an unspoken confession. What he never expected was the male to wash up near the shore of his island once more a few years later with an infant and a close to death Luffy. Mihawk is soon faced with the fact of the possibility of having his heart broken once more when Zoro begs him to save his lover. Will he have his happy ending or will he fade away into the darkness of his despair…?
First chapter: Love hurts
He never expected to fall in love with that stubborn male. He never knew love can hurt so much… Looking up from the glass of wine; golden eyes trailed onto the night sky where the moon hung clear. Tomorrow morning…yes, tomorrow morning Zoro will leave this island and go rejoin his pirate crew…the straw hat lot… This shouldn't create such sadness for the male except that for the 2 years that Zoro lived here; Mihawk had fallen in love with him. Yes, he the greatest (scariest) swordsman in the world has fallen in love with his one and only student Roronoa Zoro.
When has this feeling started…he wasn't sure himself. Was it the first time when he had fought the male or his stubborn attitude when he forced the male to train him. Gold eyes slip close as he once again remembers the times that Zoro would try to get him to train him.
Flashback
"Train me old man!"Mihawk had looked up in disinterest at the green haired male with bandages all over him and Perona was floating behind him with her eyes rolling. "Don't waste my hard work idiot now get into bed!" "Shut up woman!" "Why you…" The girl exclaimed and was about to retort when the older male cut through. "I won't train you if you're not in the proper condition." Zoro looked at the man defiantly. "I'm fine!" Not with the number of bandages you're not."Zoro growled but Mihawk had already went back to read his papers leaving a very fuming marimo head idiot on the verge of exploding.
"The idiot's gone!" The spirit controller screeched while Mihawk stared impassively at her. "I can't find him anywhere!" "Have you tried the bathroom?" "YOU THINK I HAVEN'T YOU IDIOTIC SWORDMAN!" Mihawk winced inwardly at the high decibel screech but his head immediately processed the possible places where the swordsman could be and he immediately stood up as a loud roar outside confirmed his suspicions. Running past Perona and out of the castle; he came face to face with an evenly more critically injured Zoro and one of the wild creatures that roamed the forest of his home. Zoro growled and lunges at the creature that raised his fist to knock the green haired swordsman. Zoro would have been a Zoro pancake if Hawk-eye had not interfered by pulling out his sword and landing a fatal blow to the creature. "What are you doing!" Mihawk hissed while a half-dead Zoro blearily looked at him. "T…T…Train…ing…"Zoro passed out at this point leaving a very pissed off but slightly worried Hawk-Eyes.
"Why aren't you training me yet?" Mihawk glanced at Zoro who was glaring at him. Indeed, the male has recovered very well from his little escapade and could well face the entire Marines at the ends of the world and back again. "I don't see the need to." "Don't #&$*with me."Zoro growled and had marched up to the male; slapped the newspapers out from his hands and pressed close to the male with both hands on either side of the arm-rests. "Better train me now old man. Or I will beat you into doing that."Mihawk was slightly surprised by the sudden intrusion of privacy. Gold met grey orbs and Mihawk couldn't help but feel a slight tug at his heart as he studied the features of the green-haired male. Eventually, he smirked. "What's so funny asshole?" "Alright then…I will see how long you last. We start at dawn tomorrow. Don't be late." Zoro immediately backed off as Mihawk stood to leave while Zoro celebrated.
Flashback end
Mihawk opens his eyes as the memories slowly faded into oblivion. He had gradually fallen in love with Zoro during the 2 years of training and he desperately wanted to confess his feelings to the green hair male but he resisted. The male looked into the glass of crimson wine as he recalled the reason why he decided not to confess.
A year ago (Flashback)
Zoro was busy practicing his cuts and the older male watched. Mihawk could see determination and within it and underlying sense of worry and desperateness in the green-haired swordsman's eyes. Eventually, Zoro's cuts became messy and imbalanced. "Stop." Zoro looked at his teacher while panting harshly. "You're cuts were getting messy. You're distracted." Zoro growled in frustration and dropped his swords. "I…I have to get stronger faster. I need to meet up with the others especially Luffy…" Zoro's voice trailed off as he addressed the straw-hat captain with a distinct worry and what Hawk-Eye could hear as pining affection.
Mihawk couldn't help but feel a nagging mindset that the straw-hat captain and Zoro shared a bond that was more than friendship. "Why are you anxious to be reunited with them so quickly?" Mihawk questioned and noticed how Zoro seemed to clench his fist tighter than usual at that note. "I…made a promise to be by his side…no matter what happens…" Mihawk's heart seemed to stop as Zoro made his statement. "You mean…Monkey D Luffy." Zoro nods with a slight blush on his face while Mihawk just close his eyes and produces a nod of understanding. With that nod; his heart was crushed silently…unbeknown to the green-haired swordsman.
Flashback end
As the memory faded; Mihawk's heart ached and the male wills it away. He had not felt a pain this deep ever since his first love ended badly and honestly…the pain was worst now since this love was probably never going to blossom in this time... The black-hair male sigh and looked at the moon with a small sad smile. All he could do; was to send off his pupil/crush tomorrow with his trademark smirk and the promise for the male to come back and defeat himtake the 'No 1 swordsman' title from him. But for now…he decided to let himself be vulnerable and be a simple man with a broken heart…
To be continued
and Sorry for the melancholy note there…Mihawk will be a little if not completely OOC. I picture Mihawk as a man of few words so he might keep more of his feelings to himself than to say it.
