Hubby Material

Sometimes you can't explain what you see in a person. It's just the way they can take you to a place no one else can.

Zoro wasn't good at it. Not at all. He knew this. But it didn't usually bother him either.

At least, not like it did at that moment. The moment when golden eyes rested expectantly on him and he searched somewhere in his three functioning brain cells for an answer that didn't sound completely stupid.

In theory, it was a simple question that shouldn't require much thought. And Zoro knew, deep down, that he had the answer.

He just didn't quite know how to put it into words.

And that was exactly Zoro's problem. Law expected a verbal answer. Apparently, the actions and gestures of the last few weeks had not been enough to prevent the question from being asked at all.

Too bad!

For Zoro, the question didn't even arise, and for a second he wondered if that wasn't the right answer.

No, it wasn't. It wasn't at all. It was far too vague and left plenty of room for misinterpretation. He couldn't afford that at the moment, even though he loved annoying Law and getting him on the edge of his seat. Sex afterwards was always rewarding.

But that wasn't appropriate now. Zoro felt more like his future depended on his answer, and somehow that put a pressure on him that he wasn't used to.

Well, Zoro was good with pressure. Most of the time, he just ignored it and did what needed to be done. But now it was absolutely not easy for him, because one wrong answer could ruin everything. And that fueled a fear in him that he didn't know he had.

He growled.

Why had Law had to ask such a shitty question?

Fucking hell, he was an orphan. He'd never had anyone to teach him how to deal with this sort of thing. Emotions had always been a handicap, and cold logic was the best shield. However, with the best will in the world, there was no logical answer to the question.

What did that stupid cook always say?

Emotions don't follow logic!

Great!

Absolutely helpful!

NOT!

Downright sad, Zoro realized. It wasn't just that he was thinking about the stupid Spoon Swinger right now. No, he was searching the self-proclaimed love expert's drivel for a solution to his problem of a missing answer.

An answer that shouldn't be difficult.

He liked Law. He really did!

And if his crew hadn't grown on him like family, and were just nothing more than a way station on his path to becoming the best swordsman in the world as planned, he would seriously consider continuing the journey alongside him.

The very fact that he had thought about it more than once showed what his answer would be.

There were only a few days left before they would part ways again. Assuming, of course, they survived tomorrow's raid on Onigashima.

Either way, Zoro was sure he was going to miss the surgeon.

Shit, he'd already missed him the last few days when he'd been roaming around Wano Kuni with Yasuie. And right now, he would much rather enjoy what little togetherness they had left than frantically search for a perfect answer to a simple question that shouldn't even arise.

Law and his stupid insecurity!

Law and his stupid habit of always having to have a plan!

He and his own damned inability to express emotions!

"Zoro-ya? What am I to you?" the man in his arms repeated the question as if he hadn't understood it the first time.

Yeah, he had. Very clearly and unmistakably. He was just too stupid to put it into words.

A kiss and another round of passionate sex wouldn't be enough.

Especially since Law would probably misunderstand with his tendency to overthink everything five hundred times.

Maybe it was the wrong signal, too, because Law was so much more than just sex.

Even if it was admittedly so much better than he'd known before. It wasn't just about the pure fulfillment of lust. While this was never neglected, it was the merging, the becoming one, that made it so special.

Giving himself to Law or experiencing his devotion was so much more than just trust.

Law was so much more to him, he couldn't even express it. There was never a dull moment with Law. They could talk for hours or just be silent.

They laughed a lot together and it was never strange between them.

Not even now, when it took him half an eternity to formulate an answer.

Law was always patient with him at times like this. He understood that Zoro wasn't a man of big words and just needed a little time to find the right words, especially when it came to his own feelings.

Humming, he enjoyed the gentle caress on his ribs, silently reassuring him that he could take his time.

He loved that.

Loved the intimacy and the shiver that the delicate fingers chased down his spine.

Although 3 months really wasn't long, it had been enough for Law to find a place in his soul that he could no longer imagine being without. In general, it had simply become impossible to imagine his day without Law by his side.

Which frankly made the thought of the impending separation unbearable.

Because the uncertainty of when and if they would even see each other again tied his guts in knots in a really uncomfortable way. It made it hard to breathe and if Zoro didn't know it was theoretically impossible, he would even say it physically hurt.

More than any wound he had ever experienced.

To put it simply, he simply couldn't picture his life without Law.

But what did that make Law?

What was he to him?

The world? Life? Far too pathetic!

And not right!

Because so were his nakama. But Law was something else. Something he just couldn't express.

Zoro sighed a little and pulled Law close. Held him tightly as if he could disappear.

He wished Nami was here to help him organize his thoughts. The bitch may be a greedy witch, but she was something like his best friend. They had shared many a deep conversation over a bottle of sake. Also about his relationship with Law.

Before either of them, Nami had realized that they were long past a fucking arrangement. Immediately after her arrival in Wano, she had rubbed it in both of their faces.

Perhaps the reason why they were now lying here, tightly embraced in only boxer shorts and talking about the nature of their relationship instead of having sex.

That's right! Nami was to blame for his misery, which was now giving him a headache.

Damn bitch!

She would definitely pay for that.

She could at least have given him the answer.

Although....

What had she said in Arabasta when they both realized how smoking hot Ace was.

There were three kinds of men:

The ones who were just friends. Like brothers.

The ones who were good for a fuck or a few more. Something to pass the time. You might even allow yourself to love them, although it was obvious that it wasn't forever.

And the ones who....

Oh!

Zoro looked at Law and scrutinized him for a long moment. Yeah, Law was definitely of the third kind.

The surgeon grinned at him and stroked his cheek with affection. He knew Zoro and they both knew he had found the answer.

He raised an eyebrow at him with expectation and Zoro had to grin.

"Nami would say hubby material!" he replied to the question after an eternally long moment of silence.

Law laughed softly and pulled Zoro close. Nudged him with his nose and kissed him.

"Almost romantic, Roronoa Zoro!"

"Ugh... say that again and I'll throw up!"

Law laughed.

"Definitely romantic!"

Zoro choked provocatively and grimaced. But had to laugh when Law punched him in the stomach.

"You know that my idea of romance is having you moaning under me?"

"That or the teddy bear attack and crushing me in my sleep!"

"That too!"

"Let's put off the former until tomorrow morning. I like the teddy bear right now."

"Hm... Rather a pussy than a hubby?"

"Asshole!"

"I love you too!”

*you know how English has an order to say adjectives? Like “a small spiky blue dead lizard”? I have a feeling it’s an unsaid order like that, at least to USAns

interesting how children are constantly told they don’t know how much their parents sacrificed for them but no one ever seems bold enough to tell parents how much their children sacrifice for them as well

He, unfortunately, does not love you. Or maybe, just maybe, he does and just will never say it because if he comes out with it then it'll become a lie? Who knows⋆

Okay how do you say Bo-Katan, because I just realize I’ve been pronouncing it:

Bow (as in bow-and-arrow) - Kuh (as in cousin) - tan (as in suntan lotion)

When it could also technically be said as:

Bow (as in wrapped with a bow) - Catan (as in the game Catan)
