You practically skip as you arrived to see him again. There he was, the lovable green haired man. He looked like he was eating a snack but you simply couldn't wait for him to finish.

"Zoro!" you yell as you run to tackle hug him.

"Hey, woah!" he exclaims as he catches you and hugs you back. "You're sure excited. It's been awhile." He smiles at you, seeming as relieved to see you as you are to see him.

"Yup. I've missed you!" you say as you hug him tighter. "I never want to let you go," you admitted. "Please keep me as your sake serving woman." you pleaded as you enjoyed being so close to him when suddenly you felt the weight of someone staring at you.

"Wait! The rest of the crew is here!" he hissed embarrassedly as the rest of the crew smirked at him. "Get out of here!" he shouted at them, not giving you a chance to interact with him. "I umm have business to attend to."

"Sure, sure." sneered Usopp. "Business."

"We really could use a sake serving woman." Robin chimed in as she smiled at you.

"We'll all get out of the way so you could get on with your business you lovebirds," Nami smirked as she and Robin chuckled. "Shut it!" yelled Zoro at their backs as they left. "Right," he huffed and ruffled your hair. "You can't be doing that when there are people around; it's not right."

You pouted. "It's because you're Japanese and Japanese people don't believe in PDA right? But I really missed you." you pleaded as you refused to let go. "I realize this makes me sound a bit needy but I wanted to be with you as soon as possible."

"Japanese? What's that? And PDA?" he looked confused. "Well anyway, calm down for a bit. You're here now and we're together so let's spend some time together."

You quickly explained to him that Japanese were people from Japan which was the land where he was created and based on; you also gave him a brief lecture on their culture including their PDA no no habits. By the end of it he was nodding at everything you just said. "That really does sound like I'm Japanese." he agreed as he had his arms crossed. "But it's also embarrassing when everyone is watching you! They shouldn't be able to look at you when we're together. Your expression is different, softer when you're with me."

You smiled because that meant he was watching and did really like you.

"Well anyways, I thought I'd share with you today how I met you and how characters like you influence people like me in our lives." you said as you pulled out all the manga and anime DVDs you had brought with you.

"Wow we have so many episodes and chapters." Said Zoro astounded as he looked at the list of anime episodes and chapters. He found your stash of onepiece items among the many things you brought. His eyes widened surprised and a smile spread on his face. "Hey hey! This is the chapter where I posed as a statue as we were getting covered by wax!"

He grinned happily, remembering the time and patted his swords that were tied by his side. They made a quiet clang sound when moved.

You quickly moved the books and technology away from him. "You really shouldn't look at that. It's taboo!" you scolded him. "Look at the other sort of characters and worlds that exist!" you insisted as you held out Inuyasha and Hunter x Hunter manga. You were especially careful to not bring any Yaoi manga.

"It's really interesting." He said as he skimmed through the pages of some. "I wonder if other characters are aware that they're characters…..other characters…" He glances at you. "There's many other characters huh? You didn't fall in love with them too did you? Have you been visiting anybody else?"

"!?" Your heart freezes. "I umm err-" you look away blushing and thinking of how many other characters you've fallen in love with, after all, it is the fangirls life. Flashes of Sebastian, goku, and many other characters fill your head. "Well umm ordinary men aren't as cool or romantic" you finally say "But no, I haven't visited anyone else."

Zoro stood up and hugged you tightly. "Don't go looking at other men, real or not real. I realize I'm not there there but I am there for you. And I'll always be thinking of you no matter what." He gave you a sweet passionate kiss on the lips. "Promise?"

Your heart surges with feelings of love and affection for him. You can't help but wish that he really was physically there but for now this bittersweet love is fine.

"I love you Zoro" you confess quietly as you hug him back and feel his warmth. This love will always be forbidden but you can't help your feelings. He's everything you've ever wanted.

"I know" he replies and pulls you closer "and I love you too, always"

You enjoy his sweet embrace until you realize it's time to leave once again. Time to return to your own world again but you'll always be back in some shape or form to see him again.

"I'll be waiting for you." He says as he holds your hand and intertwines his fingers with yours tightly. "I'll always be there for you no matter if our worlds are different. I believe in you because you are my world. We'll meet again and when we do watch me defeat the enemy." He says with a proud smile on his face. "I won't lose again, not with you by my side."

You'll definitely be by his side again even if it's just in dreams.
