"Is F/N ok?" Nami asked entering the house between Luffy and Zoro.
"Why wouldn't she be?" Luffy turned as she slipped her phone back into her pocket.
"Well Robin just text me that Perona said she and Law broke up."
"What?" Ace, Sabo and Al croaked from the sofa.
"I guess she overhead a conversation with Shanks down at the bar." Nami shrugged sharing the armchair with the youngest brother.
"It's already late and she's with Shanks, this probably won't end well." Sabo murmured checking the time on his phone.
"What does that mean?" Zoro asked claiming the recliner.
"Those two tend to go on benders when they are together." Ace answered.

Zoro's phone whistled in his pocket, a text.

F/N : sitpploo
F/N : Zooorooooooo*

Zoro : drinking i see

F/N : wah says who?!

Zoro : those texts for one.
Zoro : Also Perona reported to her girlfriend

F/N : how rode

F/N : just blowing off steam

Zoro : i heard about that also

F/N : God damn. People need to mine their own shit
F/N : min*
F/N : ugh Mind!

Zoro : lol maybe you should have some water

F/N : water

F/N : hey... HeeeeEEeeY

Zoro : send a single sentence woman.

F/N : demandinf much?! Anyway! Co.e drink with me I hear you're some sort of fish

Zoro : fish?

F/N : yeah yeah.. Ya know the saying? Like he drinks like a fish.
F/N : fish is Zoro

Zoro : where are you guys?

F/N : ah well Shanks left, Yasopp disappeared and Benn is threatening to leave. But I'm at the redline

"I gotta head out." Zoro stood abruptly pocketing his phone.
"Uh ok." Ace glanced up at him.
"We'll see you Saturday." Sabo added as he reached the door.
"Yup, see ya."

Nami and Al shared a look before Nami pulled out her phone to shoot Robin and Perona a text.

When Zoro arrived at the bar it was closing and you were clinging to Benn near the door.

"We can just share the uber and you can pay for the rest of the ride."
"Benny," you slurred brows knit, face twisted into an adorable pout, "don't ya know ya can't leave a drunk girl alone in a stranger's car?"
"I can just take you." Zoro interrupted.
"Greenie!" you cheered throwing your arms around his neck.
"Problem solved. No drunk girl in a stranger's car." Benn mocked pinching your cheek.
"Who's drunk?!" you called.
"Have fun with that." Benn said to Zoro while ruffling your hair.
"Hey!" you protested, "What's that mean?"
"Don't worry about it." Zoro suppressed his laughter.

He had seen you this drunk before at your welcome home party and like before he found you quite amusing.

"Let's get you home." he placed his hand on the small of your back to guide you forward.
"Nooo...whaaat? Do we have to go home?" you whined leaning into him to keep yourself upright.
"F/N, it's almost two. There's no where else to go." he opened the passenger door for you.
"We could go to your place." you suggested glancing up at him with rosy cheeks.

He flushed hard.

"Wait!" you stepped back throwing your hands against his chest, "N-not like that! I-I mean to keep drinking. I just don't wanna go home yet."
Zoro quickly regained his composure and hoisted you into the truck, "That's fine but all I have is saké."
"I looooove saké!" you cheered fumbling with the seatbelt.

He closed the door and rounded the truck shaking his head. You were definitely a handful. When he climbed into the drivers seat you were still talking.

"You know we have an office in Japan? The saké is better there."
"You worked in Japan?" he asked.
"No I ran London, but I've been a few times." you paused and gasped startling the greenette, "We should go!"
"Go where?"
"Japan!" you grabbed his arm enthusiastically.
"Sure." he snorted.
"And you can see a real dojo that's like hundreds of years old."

He peeked at you sideways at the stoplight as you continued making travel plans you'd never remember. You quieted down realizing you were being stared at.

"I'm serious."

He chuckled at your pouty tone, "I can see that. Maybe we'll revisit the subject when you're sober."
"I'm not that dr-unk!" you hiccupped.

He laughed again.

"Bad timing!" you playfully slapped his arm.
"Stop yelling woman." he covered your mouth with his right hand.
"Sorry." you muttered against his palm sending a shiver through him.

He quickly retacted his hand and made the turn into the apartment complex.

"We'll just have a couple. You're drunk enough." he placed two small white cups on the coffee table in front of you and turned back toward the small kitchen.
"I'm fiiiine." you giggled pulling your legs up onto the leather sofa.
"Sure." he agreed returning with a chilled bottle.
"You don't drink it warm?"
"Normally yes but this is plum, it's better cold." he took a seat on the floor across from you.

You tilted your head.

"What?" he asked removing the cap and filling the cups.
"You don't seem like the kind of guy who likes sweet drinks."
"I'm not but this was a gift and you like sweet drinks so why not?"

You flushed briefly that he knew your preference forgetting in your haze that he had served you before you knew him. Zoro pushed your cup across the table and watched you concentrate on picking it up without spilling.

How was every face you made so cute?

Slowly you leaned forward with your cup out in front of you. Zoro did the same tapping the lip of his cup to yours.

"Kanpai!" you cheered bringing the sweet liquid to your lips.

He mirrored you and downed the cold drink. It was surprisingly good. Not too sweet with a pleasant plum aftertaste. You set your cup down near the bottle indicating you'd like more.

"That was so good. Whoever gave it to you must have some money, I don't think that bottle is cheap."
"He does." Zoro chuckled pouring another round.

Soon the bottle was empty and you were lying back on the sofa lazily singing a song you'd had stuck in your head. He quietly observed you from his spot on the floor. Slowly the words to the cheerful tune you sang turned into some sort of chant.

"More, more, more moooooooooore,"
"I'm not sure you can handle more." he murmured meeting your half lidded gaze.
"How rude." you gasped in feigned offense.
"Hush, you know you've had enough. How about some water?" he suggested rising to his feet, "You're gonna feel like shit in the morning."
"You worry too much." you tried to sit up and failed falling back into the cushions.

Zoro chuckled and passed you to get a couple of water bottles from the kitchen. When he returned you had fallen asleep. Shaking his head he bent down to scoop you up tensing when you whimpered and snuggled into his warmth. You stirred when he placed you on the mattress muttering that it was hot.

"Here." he pulled a shirt from his dresser and handed it to you before grabbing a blanket, "the bathroom is right across from the foot of the bed. You can wear that to sleep if you want. I'll be on the couch so, call me if you need something."
"Greenie," you called weakly rolling over to face him, "stay in here with me."
A rosy pink dusted his cheeks, "I don't think that's a great idea."
"Because you think I'm sexy?" you boldly teased.
"Exactly," he deadpanned, "go back to sleep."

With that he switched off the light and left the room before he lost his will to not hop in the bed with you.

You sat in the bed wracking your clouded brain trying to remember where you'd ended up and what you had done, if anything.

"Fuck." you whispered as the bathroom door opened and Zoro stepped out with a towel lazily tossed over his wet hair.
