Chapter 1: On Melancholy Hill

(ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥

Walking down the road with an umbrella in hand, Roronoa Zoro, a college student was currently listening to his favorite band while the rain poured down heavily on him and his friends.

"I still can't believe that this campus doesn't allow cars on school grounds." Nami, one of Zoro's friends was complaining as her shoes were getting wet. The others walking with him were his friends, Usopp, Tony (but everyone calls him Chopper), Jinbe and..... Sanji... if he can consider that dumbass a friend, yeah...over his dead body.

"It's okay Nami, I'll shield you from the rain." said the dumbass swooning over the redhead, Zoro sighed and turned the volume up on his phone so he can drown out Sanji's words.

He was listening to his favorite band, 'D3', a band that didn't stick to one genre, He was happy because he recently manage to buy a limited edition shirt that has the member's autographs on it.

It wasn't long before Zoro and his friends made it to campus, while they were all drying off, he saw a few more friends walk up.

3 staff members of the college came and greeted the almost-soaked bunch. The tall raven-haired woman, Robin smiled at all of them.

"I'm assuming none of you guys saw the weather warning and that classes were canceled today," Robin said with a small smile, in just seconds the group of young adults were sulking.

"My shoes are wet and I didn't even need to be here," Nami said as she found a chair to sit on in the campus lobby to wring out whatever she can out of her shoes. Meanwhile, Usopp and Sanji were checking their phones to see the message from the school.

Brook, the school's music professor just started laughing at the group, "Why don't we go to my classroom and warm up with some tea? Might as well wait until the weather calms down."

Franky, the school's number one handyman, went to get blankets from his 'stash' for everyone since they would be hanging out for a while. In a few minutes, everyone was in Brook's classroom making their selves comfortable.

"Wait, so if classes were canceled, why are you guys here?" Usopp asked aloud.

Franky and Robin were cuddled with each other, while Brook was still making tea for everyone. "Robin always shows up early for work, so I go with her and nap in her classroom before class starts, Brook is here because he's an early bird too and just happens to live 5 minutes away from campus," Franky answered the question.

The others just nodded, Usopp decided to work on homework he totally didn't put off last minute.

"Usopp? You guys didn't finish Professor Smoker's homework didn't you?" Chopper sighed as he grabbed his notebook from his backpack and went over to help him.

Everyone was doing their own thing, Zoro was napping still listening to his music before he felt someone kick his leg...hard.

"OW! What the hell Curly-brow!" Zoro yelled as he grabbed his knee, he took off his earbuds to glare at the man. Sanji just rolled his eyes and took out his vape to take a hit.

"Nami was asking you something moss-head,"   Sanji said as he blew smoke out of his mouth. Nami just rolled her eyes at the two, "Anyway, I was asking you Zoro, what are you doing for summer break? This is the last summer we have before we graduate."

Zoro thought, he didn't really have friends or family outside of the friend groups that were sitting with him currently. "Not much, the only thing eventful thing happening to me is that my shirt is coming in the mail in a few days," Zoro said plainly.

Nami smiled, Zoro was always like an annoying older brother to her, it was nice to see him be passionate about other things besides his kendo training, even if it was a band.

"It's sad, they were all our ages when they passed," Chopper commented while he was trying to help Usopp with his final assignment still.

Ah yes, Zoro's favorite band, all the members are dead due to a boating accident which led the three brothers to drown 2 years ago.

"The frontman was your favorite right Zoro? Ah, what was his name?" Brook asked as he tried to remember the names of the three younger artists.

"Luffy, his brothers were Ace and Sabo," Zoro replied solemnly, the group looked at him. They remembered how destroyed Zoro was when he heard of their passing in class a few years ago, even though Zoro would never admit it.

"Well Zoro, luckily for you my amazing Vivi, planned an outing for all of us for our summer break. Her family has a huge beach house on Dawn Island, that's the place where they were born weren't they?" Nami said with a knowing smile on her face.

To say Zoro was surprised about that would be saying the sky wasn't blue, he was interested from the first part of the offer but now that he has a chance to go see Luffy's home island. "Sure, why not?" he replied calmly even though his friends knew he was ecstatic on the inside.

"Well, there's only one week of classes left? When do we plan on going?" Robin asked Nami.

"I'll send you guys more detailed information in our group chat, but Vivi said roughly in 2 weeks," Nami answered.

Chopper was excited, he was shaking Usopp with happiness, out of the years they all knew each other, this is their first vacation together!

Sanji didn't need any convincing because "the ladies" were going, and Jinbe was happy as well, Jinbe hasn't been to a beach in so long.

Robin and Franky were happy since it will be a nice vacation for them and their friends, working on campus was draining.

"You would like it there too Brook! Vivi's family has the biggest music room I have ever seen." Nami told the older man.

"Well if you insist, Yohoho" he laughed.

Well, it was set, Zoro and his friends were going on vacation and he will get to see Luffy and his brothers home.

The weather was clearing up as they were finishing their conversation, and everyone decided to go home since it was the only chance they got before the weather gets crazy again, or at least according to Nami.

By the time Zoro got home, he was sleepy (like always). Before he knew it, he was already snoring on the couch of his dorm.

hi there! can you do friends with benefits prompts but then one of them catches feelings for other? thank you!

Ooo great trope.

Friends with Benefits OTP Prompts

Prompts

A and B get drunk quite a lot. Whenever they get drunk, they hook up. They pretend they have no idea what happens but they’ve been getting drunk more and more to purposely hook up. Over time, their hook ups become more domestic.

After breaking up with a long time partner, A meets B and has a one night stand. Turns out, they’re next door neighbours. Still mourning their ended relationship, A keeps hooking up with B. Since they live right next to each other, they end up become friends and (of course) catching feelings.

A is tutoring B. One day when they come over, B is tipsy and they end up having sex. A and B decide to continue hooking up while they tutor, using sex as a motivation / reward.

A and B are casual friends have been having an on-and-off relationship for a few months. They didn’t give it much thought until A moved away. Whenever A visits, they continue to hook up, but they begin to catch feelings as they talk over the phone when A’s away.

Oneliners

“It’s just a mutual . . . mutual beneficial agreement. That’s it!”

“I-I need you. Please”

“I don’t want to just sleep with you. I want more”

“Shut up and kiss me”

“You’re sleeping with your best friend. There’s no way you don’t have feelings for them”

“So. Looks like you’re dating C” “What’s it to you? You jealous?” “Why would I be jealous? It’s not like I want to date you”

“How can I not have feelings for you?”

“I’m scared if I tell them how I feel, I’ll ruin our friendship” “And hooking up with them doesn’t ruin your friendship?”

“One more time?” “One more time”

“I can’t do this anymore! We have to stop messing around like this”

Leave requests for other oneliners and prompts!

Do you have any prompts for keeping a secret? (specifically a relationship secret/forbidden lovers.)

I do! Let me know if you want me to add more prompts.

Forbidden Romance Prompts

Prompts

A is an angel assigned to guarding C and leading them into a good life. B is a demon who was assigned to make C the worst person in earth. As they work against each other, they end up falling in love, with only heaven and hell between them.

A has been cursed to kill whomever they fall in love with. Problems arrive when they start to fall for B.

It’s the biggest trial of the year and the whole world is watching. Stakes are higher and tension is higher. Little do they know, the prosecutor and defence attorney are in love.

A big company is very against coworkers dating. They prefer coworkers to see each other as competition. Of course, coworkers A and B fall for each other anyways.

A and B have contradicting magical powers that are incompatible to the point of them destroying each other if they get close. This doesn’t stop them from falling in love.

A accidentally gets sent back in time and falls in love with B. Problem is, A has a partner (and possibly a kid) at home.

(Alternate for 6) in the future, B ends up despising A.

A is very close with their sibling, C. They don’t know how to tell C that they’re secretly dating C’s ex, B.

A is an angel who runs into B (a demon) while checking out earth. They hit it off and meet up several more times before they discover what the other one is. Already too deep to quit, they try find a way to keep their love secret from heaven and hell.

Oneliners

“I’m just holding out for a day where I can tell everyone about us”

“Shhhhh quiet! Someone will hear!” “I don’t care if anyone hears. I want everyone to hear. IM IN LOVE WITH A!”

“You told them about us. I-I trusted you and you told them”

“You don’t understand. If I tell them about us, my life is over” “Your life won’t be over. You’ll have a life with me”

“Why did you just kiss me?” “Because I’m sick of people telling me I can’t”

“We shouldn’t do this. This is a terrible idea” “you’re right . . . wanna do it again?” “Oh god yes”

Ghost Train - a ZoLu fic - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Andromeda

(ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥

A/N: sorry that Zoro is slightly OOC in this story, but he's supposed to be a fanboy you know? Anyway he's head over heels for Luffy in canon so it's not that different, right? lol?

(ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥

Zoro was walking around town with Robin and Franky, apparently, the town was having a festival today.

"It's interesting, the amount of effort the townspeople are preparing for the festival, I was just reading a book about it from the town's library," Robin said in slight awe, Franky was impressed as well. "Yeah they're building a lot of things for this festival pretty quickly, and it looks stable too."

Zoro chuckled internally a bit, of course, Franky and Robin's hobbies will never rest, Zoro was just happy to go to the city without too much supervision. While he apparently "gets lost" a lot, he's glad that Robin and Franky came with him, they give him way more slack than the others, (yes, because walking in a straight line without getting lost is an achievement).

He finally spotted the object he wanted to see since his first night at the beach house, he had to wait a few days because the others had group plans. He saw that huge statue that caught his eyes a few nights ago, there he was, standing in front of a memorial of his favorite band.

Considering the festival is a music festival, it made a lot of sense for the group to be the center of the festivities. Flowers, letters, food, and more were left in front of the statue, right above it was a plaque, 'The Pride of Dawn Island' is what it read. From what Robin told him earlier, a lot of people that left gifts for the departed trio weren't just fans, those three were kind to the town before they were famous and after they reached stardom. It's a reason why Zoro likes them, celebrities that aren't jackasses and didn't let fame get to their head, the support they have from the city is just proof of it.

Franky whistled at the statue, impressed by the quality, Robin smiled at the young adult before her. Zoro isn't the type of person to idolize someone if they don't deserve it.

"By the way Zoro, the town has a memorial concert for the boys at the end of the festival, in case if you wanted to know" Robin smiled as he saw the green-haired man shoulder's raise with hidden excitement.

"Really? That's nice of them," Zoro replied softly, he turned around the face his older friend. "How long is it before the concert starts?"

Robin pulled out a pamphlet from Franky's back pocket, the older two looking over the itinerary.

"It starts around 10 pm bro, so you got plenty of time to relax before then," Franky said as he was looking at the other festivities listed.

It was currently 7 pm, and the small group was looking around and taking time to shop around and play some classic carnival games.

It wasn't long before the stack of prizes Franky won for Robin started to pile up, meanwhile, Zoro only got one prize, a pretty good one too.

Now it wasn't a surprise to anyone that most carnival games are almost impossible to win, especially the basketball free throw game. The number of people Zoro saw struggling to make more than 5 shots would be embarrassing if it wasn't rigged, but Zoro had a backup plan.

He was eyeing the replica guitar hanging on the prize corner, all he had to do was make 20 shots, and 20 shots he did. It didn't help the carnival workers that Zoro was basically a 6 ft. wall of pure muscle, all he had to do was squeeze some of the air out for the ball to fit through the 'smaller than normal' hoop.

So now he was carrying proudly a replica of Luffy's guitar. "Why don't we stop by the beach house for a moment to drop everything off, especially you Zoro, I doubt you want that shiny guitar to get into an accident," Robin told the two as she offered to carry some of the prizes that were won for her.

The two agreed and by the time they made it back to the beach house, it was 9 pm, Zoro was finishing getting dressed and he looked in the mirror in his guest room.

Wearing the shirt that Zoro waited weeks before the trip was finally being worn, it wasn't too tight nor loose, fitting his build just right.

Now after rushing Robin, Franky, and now his other friends, they made it to the concert venue.

"I'm actually surprised we got some good seats!" Usopp said as they were waiting for the concert to start.

All of his friends had a seat next to each other, a surprising feat since the concert started in thirty-ish minutes when they arrived and his friend group consisted of 9 people including himself.

(ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥

"Do you know what songs they're going to play moss-head?" Sanji asked as he blew smoke out of his mouth, his other friends also looked at him for an answer.

"How am I supposed to know pervy -cook, I just found out they were having this concert a few hours ago." Zoro replied while rolling his eyes in annoyance to piss off his 'friend' more.

Thankfully, Chopper, Usopp, Jinbe, Nami, and Vivi were sitting between Zoro and Sanji so they don't try to murder each other.

Before any of the two can say anything else, the lights around the stage lit up and a pair walked up the stage.

"The show doesn't start for another 5 minutes, wonder what's going on?" Brook, who was sitting next to Sanji questioned.

"Hello everyone! I hope you're having a great night tonight!" a short but energetic woman greeted the audience.

"I'm Koala and my partner here is Marco" Marco waved towards the crowd.

"Before the show starts, we wanted to have a brief moment of silence for our superstars before the show begins, if that's alright with guys-yoi" Marco, the taller of the two spoke towards the crowd.

The crowd was responsive to the two hosts, "Now since everyone has different beliefs here, we aren't going to do a joint prayer or anything like that, but just have a nice minute to say your thought to the boys before we get this show on the road alright?" Koala smiled at the excitement of the crowd.

The ambient music playing at the festival stopped and the stage lights moved from the hosts to a mural of the band.

Luffy was smiling so brightly, an arm around his brothers. Ace was on the left, having a small smile but had his elbow resting upon his brother Sabo. Sabo had a smile that was a mixture of Luffy's and Ace's, wrapping his free arm around Luffy.

Zoro was relieved that he didn't hear a prayer, his friends most likely felt the same since none of them have a religious bone in their body.

Everyone had their eyes closed and it was complete silence, Zoro decided to close his eyes as well, he might as well be respectful.

"Thanks for coming!" a bright voice rang through Zoro's head.

Zoro opened his eyes quickly, when he realized everyone was still silent he just assumed that he's been hearing things lately. Shaking his head he closed his eyes again, enjoying the brief silence once more.

After another minute of silence, the light faced the hosts again.

"Alright, thank you everyone for coming tonight, and enjoy the show!" Koala said before Marco and her left the stage.

Not even seconds after, a huge projector came out, and then the show started.

Multi-colored lights were coloring the night sky and Zoro was having the time of his life. He and his friends were singing along to their favorite songs.

(ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥

It was an amazing two hours, ending the concert with 'Andromeda', one of Zoro's favorite songs. After the concert was over and the group made it back to the beach house, Zoro felt a little sad.

"Okay guys, we're heading to bed, tonight was fun!" Nami spoke in a happy but tired voice as she brought Vivi with her.

Everyone else also said their goodnights to each other and Zoro was now in his room.

He was laying on his bed, staring at the ceiling, before he felt a hand touch his hair.

"What the fu-" Zoro sat up and saw something, no someone in front of him.

"Oh shit, you can see me? Well...anyway sorry for messing with you, but I was happy seeing you at our concert! Especially with our merch, it makes me and my brothers happy!"

Zoro slapped his cheeks and was so surprised to see that he was not hallucinating...

"I have to be fucking dreaming aren't I?" Zoro said as he put a hand to his face and sighed.
