House Trained 8 (Werewolf!Zoro x Reader)

Yes, this was the right thing to do.  You smirked, so impressed with yourself.  Obviously, curling up into a ball under the blankets was the best decision you ever made.  Nothing could get you out of here.  Just like when you were young, the covers were an impenetrable shield from the monsters.

'I'll just live like this from now on,' you thought in triumph.  You could order pizza or whatever else delivered everyday and just lay in bed and watch Netflix and browse forums until you grew old and feeble.  Heck!  You could even do online schooling!  You were an adult, ready to live your life as a scared child.

"Oh my god, this is so sad."

Before you could fall into a deep depression you heard your cellphone ring loudly, making you search around with a frown when you noticed it was nowhere in your room.  You looked into the hallway and pouted, not wanting to leave your safe haven that was your bed.  But it could be important...

Wrapping the blankets around your shoulders and head like a cocoon, you shuffled out of your room, muttering in annoyance under your breath.  This continued until you found out where the ringing was coming from...under the couch.

Ugh, it must have fallen down under there sometime during the fight or whatever.  Not like you cared at this point.  You crouched and felt under the sofa, blindly grabbing at anything hard until you felt the cell case and something else laying on top of it.  Pulling both out, you realized that it was the red collar you had originally bought for Bushido.  You stared at it, figuring Zoro must have wiggled out of it at some point.  You briefly remembered having to chase him around the apartment and somehow got it on his neck despite his growls and not so nice snapping.

Your cell rang again, it's shrill alert pulling you out of your memory.  You found yourself smiling as you answered the call, not even bothering to look to see who it was.

"Hello?"

"__________!  Where the hell are you?!!"

You blinked and quickly placed the voice as one of your coworker's, the one you usually gossiped and ate lunch with.  You know that girl.  Yeah, that girl.

"Um, home?"

She hissed in your ear, sounds of rustling plastic bags and checkout lanes in the background.  "You shift started an hour ago!!!"

GAH!  You smacked your forehead a few times, hating your brain for forgetting that you had to work today.

...

Your exam!!  Oh fffffffffff-!  You were so going to fail that class.

"I'm so sorry, I've been preoccupied and it's been kind of stressful-"

"Stressful?  STRESSFUL?!!"  She screeched loudly, the noise forcing you to hold the phone far from your ear.  You listened to her rant, feeling extremely guilty for bailing on work.

"It's December!!  You know how crazy this place gets during christmas season!!  We don't have enough people to open all the registers, everyone is pushing, shouting, and just plain rude!!  I'm pretty sure some guy just got a new TV by complaining to the manager about his last purchase!!  Do you wanna know what it was, _________?"

"Uh....sure?"

"A sink."

You felt very confused now.

"He complained about a damn, leaky sink and weaseled his way into getting a new TV!!!"

You rubbed your eyes with a sigh, thinking of your manager who was a complete pushover and wondered how that scene had gone.

"Look, I'm sorry.  Things have been happening at home and I just forgot."

At this omission, you looked at the collar in your hand and frowned.  You turned it over a few times, thumb brushing over the dog tag and listened to it jingle.


"Whatever it is, get over it!!"  She sounded on the verge of tears despite the angry response.  "Just get here already!!  The lunch crowd is going to be here soon!!  You know how much I hate that crowd!!"

"I mean, it's full of old people!!"  She shrieked, sounding on the verge of a breakdown.  "They always count out exact change and gripe about card readers then complain when someone in front of them takes too long when they do it a million times worse!!"

"________??  _________?!?!!!  Are you listening to me!?!"

"Sorry, girl.  But I'm going to be using all of my vacation and unpaid time for the foreseeable future."

"WHAT?!  No!!  Don't you dare do this to me!!"  She cried out dramatically.

"I'm sure you'll be fine~."  You grinned, going to hang up.

"You'll never get away with this!!  I shall have my revenge-!!!"

You laughed, knowing she would forgive you eventually.  You were sure she was cursing you to oblivion at the moment, but buy her a big lunch and she was putty in your hands.  You texted your pushover of a manager about your absence and use of time and grinned when they approved.  They may not be good with customers but the pros of letting their employees get away with such things was great. 

It was too bad that you won't get to go out of the country like you had planned once you graduated, but you were sure you could save up the time and money again.

Besides, your dumb dog was worth it.

Your blanket cocoon fell from your body as you grinned, feeling less fearful and unsure and more happy and positive.  This was a better idea then hiding in your room for the rest of your life!  You quickly went back to your room and snatched up your duffle, then your baseball bat just in case goldy-eyed decided to come after you.

"I'm adulting so hard right now,"  You grinned and locked your apartment door behind you.  You mentally cheered yourself on as you ran towards the stairs to leave only to turn back around a few seconds later to go to Jinbei's apartment.

You went inside as an idea struck you.  Jinbei was a big guy!  Surely he had something Zoro could wear until you bought him some pants.  You were sure your neighbor wouldn't mind.  You'd leave him a note about returning what you grab and leave out the part on why you were even borrowing it.  After only a few minutes you came back out with a green yukata styled robe and grinned.  This would be perfect for now.

You locked his door and pushed the key under the entrance, effectively returning his key.

"See you later, Jinbei."

Hopefully.

And with that, you proceeded to leave, unaware of what the future had in store for you.

~~

You came back a few minutes later, pushing your fingers under the door like a cat wanting into it's owner's bathroom.  You did this frantically for a while before getting the key back and running inside.

You had to at least feed the poor man's fish.

~~

Zoro scowled, arms crossed as he watched you pull up to the meeting spot with your vehicle.  You even honked your horn at him.  He waited until you stepped out of the old, gold Sable before scolding you.

"We can't take your car.  He could track us through the plates-"

You huffed, "We need a car where we're going.  It's a good two hours away and I am NOT walking!  And bus tickets trace more then license plates."

He looked ready to argue some more but you threw the green robe at him, the wolf catching it in confusion.  "What...?"

"Put that on."  You said, having been good on your rule of not straying your eyes past his neck.

....

Okay, you may have strayed to his shoulders a bit.  I mean, they were so... big.

"We're going to get you some clothes," You continued, cheeks slightly flushed.  "I rather not be pulled over because of indecent exposure."

Zoro made a face but slipped on the robe, fixing the gold buttons near the bottom before the large robe could fully fall off.  The wolf-man then tied the thick red sash around his waist and studied himself, looking a bit uncomfortable at how proper he looked.  He then decided to open up the front a bit more....well, a lot more.  His chest and scar were now fully exposed.  He nodded to himself and you almost wished you'd stolen more of Jinbei's clothes just so you could see the man model more of the Japanese style outfits.

Damn, he was fucking fire~.

"Let's do it quickly.  The longer we stay in the city the more likely we'll be caught again."

"R-Right," You muttered, staring at him while biting your lower lip.  You had avoided looking at him when he was naked, but now that he wore clothes, you could finally take him all in without freaking out.  He filled out the clothing nicely despite it being a bit too big, but it worked.  Your eyes were now straying over his chest, fingers itching to touch that scar once more - to make sure it was healed right, of course.  Then maybe you could slip your hands further down his robes, sliding under his sash slowly while he placed his hands on your hips and watched you with that intense gaze.

He frowned at your staring and crossed his arms.  

"What's wrong?"

You quickly realized how much of a pervert you were being and pulled your shirt collar up to cover your mouth in embarrassment as your whole face grew flushed.  "N-Nothing!!!  Let's go already!!"

You ran to the car and got in, refusing to stare at the man again.  It would only lead to more hot-blooded thoughts that you shouldn't be having.  This situation was already crazy, no need to make it awkward by asking if he could let you sit in his lap again.

And slowly wiggle your hips as you placed your hands on his broad shoulders, lower half grinding-

Zoro shut his door, the sound pulling you out of another wet dream.

"Where exactly is this place you mentioned?"  He asked with a yawn, adjusting the seat to lean back a bit.  

"I-It's b-basically a summer home.  Nothing fancy."  You turned on the car, slowly gaining control of your emotions.  When you felt normal again, you put the car in drive and pulled away from the woods, not once regretting convincing the wolf to forget the camping idea.

He hummed in response, crossing his arms and closing his eyes.  

Zoro didn't really say anything the whole ride to the store, not even looking remotely worried about some sword wielding out to kill him.

You wanted what he was smoking because you felt like you'd lose all your hair by the end of this.

~~

"Alright, let's get in and out."  You said while grabbing a cart and heading towards the grocery part, knowing the house you were heading to was going to be bare boned.  You snatched snacks as you went, talking to Zoro who followed you leisurely.  Some of the other shoppers watched him curiously but didn't ask about the outfit as they went on with their business, this was Walmart after all, people have worn stranger things.

It didn't take long to have a cart full of stuff when you decided it was time to get your wolf some proper clothes.  As much as you loved him looking all Japanese and hot, he stood out too much for your liking.  No doubt people would remember you two if asked so he needed to blend in more.

Plus, some of the ladies were eyeballing him and that seemed to make you want to arch like some cat and hiss them away.

You stopped at a rack of jeans that were on sale and started to go through them, continuing to talk on despite Zoro never responding back.  "So, once this is done we'll head straight there and hide out, right?  I can only be off work for so long, I only have three and a half weeks at work.  Hey, what size are you?"

You turned to hear his response only to realize he wasn't there.  Or anywhere in sight.  You quickly freaked out, waving your arms and calling out his name. 

"Zoro Zoro Zoro Zoro Zorooooooo!"  A kid in the shoe aisle started to cry but you ignored him, continuing to look around and wondering if you should have the store managers use the sound system to call out for him like he was a missing child.  It took fifteen minutes to find him though, in the jewelry department, sitting in a metal chair while the make-up ladies ogled him.

"Zoro!!  I thought I lost you!"  You cried out, pushing a few of the women aside who gave you annoyed glances.

He grunted and glared at you, "I was following you then you suddenly disappeared."

You frowned, knowing  you had only gone down three aisles and to the left to the clothing department.  It's not like you went into any alleyways or through a secret door.  "Well, anyways, let's go back to the cart-"

His left ear glinted and you looked at it, eyes quickly widening when you saw the long gold trinkets.  "You got your ear pierced?!"

He shrugged, "I thought you were lost so I waited here for you."

"How...How does YOU being lost make you want to get earrings?!"  You didn't even know that Walmart did piercings!!  

Zoro grunted, already looking bored with the conversation as he stood, his height over the other women making him really stand out.  "We're taking too long."

You seethed, thinking he was one to talk about wasting time.  Taking a calming breath, you snatched Zoro's hand and dragged him away from the disappointed women and back towards the shopping cart.  He seemed to keep glancing down at your hand questioningly as you kept your hold on it, even pushing around the cart with just one arm with mad skills.

You finally noticed his questioning gaze before glaring at him with pink dusted cheeks.  "It's so you don't get lost, you idiot."

He growled in response but didn't even try to pull his hand away, even rubbing his thumb over the top of yours occasionally.  It felt so much bigger then your own and warm, so very warm.  No wonder couples liked to do this, it was nice.

Then you briefly wondered if this meant you two were a couple.  You tried to figure it out, but were interrupted when Zoro started to drift down another aisle and you had to drag him back.

Owning a dog was too much trouble sometimes.
