Finding Home (Roronoa Zoro x Reader) AU

Love

After hugging and cheering on your final liberation from Teach, you decided to celebrate by having lunch with your family and Zoro, ordering from an Italian restaurant and waiting for the food to arrive while you chatted away in the living room. Zoro held your figure tightly, refusing to let you go. You had scared him to death, and he was now decided on spending as much time as possible with you. Something was bugging you though, and you just had to ask.

"Papa?"

"Yes princess?" You blushed realizing he called you the same way your blood father did.

"Um... h-how are we going to get away with this?" You asked nervously. It was a sensitive topic, your family was responsible of killing two people after all.

Your two older brothers laughed at your innocence. Of course you had no idea about your father's political power, but it was still cute seeing you stutter like that.

"What? Why are you laughing? It's not funny!" You scoffed, looking away.

"Don't worry (Y/N), pops will have it covered."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, let's just say he's quite the relevant political figure, and Teach wasn't really appreciated by anyone anyways."

"He was a damn scumbag." Grunted your father, still mad.

"Don't talk ill of the dead." Said Luffy, with a serious expression, trying to make himself look smart. Everyone sweat dropped at his statement.

"Fucking dumbass." Said Ace, cracking up because of his little brother.

You giggled and wiggled closer to Zoro, wanting to feel him as close as possible. In your dream, when you talked to your father, you thought you'd have to let him go, as in never be able to see him again, and it had destroyed you a little bit. Even though that wasn't the case, you still went through the little fright, so you had the right to be all over him. At least for the next couple of days. Feeling you scooch closer to him, he tightened his grip on you and kissed your temple.

Truth was, Zoro was planning on asking you to marry him. Having to wait for the second time in his life for you to wake up, unable to do anything to help you, had destroyed him. Having you awake once again made him realize you were his soulmate, and he had absolutely no reason to wait more time before marrying you. He wanted to be linked to you forever, he wanted to promise you that he will love you forever and he wanted for you to promise him that you will love him forever. Thinking about this made his stomach flutter and his throat close up in nervousness and anxiety. Of course, he'd first ask your father and brothers, but he was almost positively sure that they would agree.

"Hey~ look at Zoro, he's blushing!" Ace teased on your boyfriend as a blush had crept on Zoro's cheek while he thought about you dressed all in white, with a tight beautiful dress, just for him. He cleared his throat and tried to act coolly.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He heard you giggle at him right as he had said that, so he looked down at you and you quickly pecked his rosy cheeks, turning them into an intense red. Your brothers and father cracked up as Zoro's face noticeably grew hotter.

"Hey! Don't make fun of my boyfriend!" You pouted and scolded your family as you listed a bunch of places where they could go stick their noses at, but stopped once you heard the doorbell ring. "Hmph. You have been saved by food! I won't be as forgiving next time!" You said jokingly, leaving your boyfriend alone with the guys as you went to get the food.

"So... ya' planning on marrying her?" Asked Ace, casually chewing on some sandwich he had made himself, since he could eat like a pig.

"Wh-what?"
