Hey ya'll, Via here! If you know my pen name because you've read "Reasons I shouldn't be left alone", then you are in my randomly awesome people book! Here's a ZoLu fic because I was bored in geometery.

Disclaimer: Awe do I have to? Okay... I own nothing but my name and the left legs of the entire world population. The Strawhat Crew belong to Eichiro Oda.

Warnings: boyxboy Oocness ummmmmmmm might be a little off but oh well.

The green-haired swordsman of the Strawhat pirates held his face in his Roronoa Zoro wouldn't express his feelings like this, but this time he felt like he had to.

"I can't help it Nami." he said, forcing the words to come out. "I didn't know where else to turn."

The Strawhat's navigator was confused. After dinner, Zoro asked the orange-haired girl to talk privately. He came in and sat down, saying nothing for ten minutes.

"What's wrong Zoro?" Nami asked. The curiosity was seriously getting to her.

"When Buggy had him up there on the Exicutioner's block, he told me and the crap-cook that he was done for. How could Luffy say that?" He looked up at her, tears just slightly visable. "I can't-I won't lose him."

Nami was shocked. The Demon Swordsman was in love with Monkey D. Luffy. Making virtually no noise, she hugged the ex-pirate hunter as tightly as she could.

"Zoro you have to tell him." se whispered. Nami realized that it was tearing him up inside.

"I can't do that." He buried his face in his hands again. "I'd rather have him as my friend and captain than have him maroon me on some island because he doesn't feel the same." With that he got up and left.

~~~~Trans-time layering sequence~~~~

It was after the first fight with Buggy the Clown and just after they'd gotten the Merry-Go. Zoro was asleep thanks to Usopp the liar.

Luffy was being held by Nami, crying his eyes out. She'd seen him, close to tears as he watched Usopp stitch up the gashes on Zoro's stomach, and pulled him into her cabin.

"Nami, his guts coulda come out, and then he woulda died, and..." The young captain wiped his nose on his arm. "When Usopp was stitching him, I saw how bad the damage was." He laid his head in her lap. "I don't wanna lose him."

Luffy finally stopped crying, and Nami had started playing with his shaggy black hair. "Are you gonna tell him? If you love him you should." Mugiwara~taichou got up.

"Nami, I can't. He'll leave." Luffy said good night to his navigator and left the room.

~~~End of Tran-time layering sequence into a time skip~~~

They were all recuperating after the battle on Little Garden. Everyone, except Nami, was tiptoeing around the still volatile captain and his furious senchou.

"That is IT!" Nami yelled startling everyone but Luffy and Zoro. "You two need to work out your differences NOW!" She grabbed the two boys by their ears and shoved them into the males cabin. "You two are not coming out until you either make up or one of you is dead!"

Luffy and Zoro glared at each other. They didn't know whether they wanted to kiss or kill the other male. Finally Luffy broke the silence.

"I coulde have you killed for that." He said hatefully, despite the fact that he felt sick. Luffy thought he saw pain flicker across Zoro's features.

"Then why don't you?" Zoro felt as though Mihawk's blade had sliced through his heart.

Luffy started punching Zoro, who retailiated by swinging his unsheathed swords. Neither of them held back as the fought more desperately than ever before. The smaller male jumped to avoid his legs being cut and he landed on his back on Zoro's couch.

Zoro seeing a chance, jumped on top of him. They stared at each other panting for breath. Neither knew how it happened. All they knew was that, for better or worse, their life together had begun, and it started with a kiss.

That's it for now! If I get at least 5 reviews or suggestions I'll give you smut! Flames will be used to make grilled cheese!

Via out!
