A.N: I´m writing this just for fun, ´cause the idea of it just came to my head while I was watching episode 318. This chapter happens in that episode and little after it. It´s about Zoro and Robin. It should be friendship, but if you like them as a couple then you can think this is a ZoroXRobin story. And I tell you just for sure that I´m not good in english. And sorry if some chacraters are OOC.
Warnings: Spoilers for episode 318 and some episodes before that. I wasn´t sure that should this be K+ or T, so I made it T just for sure.
Disclaimer: I don´t own One Piece. (If I did, I would be the Pirate King! XD The one who finds it will be the Pirate King, right? :P)
Trusting and the mama-shirt
Zoro was in the city, runnign away from Sanji and the others. He was a babysitter and in a mama-shirt afterall. He thought he got away from everyone, but then he bumbed into Robin. However, Robin promised she wouldn´t tell anyone. She told Zoro that he looked good in that shirt and she also added: "And you really don´t need to worry about me telling anyone. Everyone has their dark little secrets." She also laughed a little when she said this.
Zoro frowned and mumbeled: "Yeah, expecially you." He didn´t mean to say it aloud or Robin to hear it. But she did hear it. And it hurt her alot, but she didn´t let it show. She went back to Nami with a smile, even though deep inside she was just thinking about Zoro´s words.
"So Kenshi-san still doesn´t trust me?" was all she could think about.
"….and I still need new clothes and-" Nami stopped talking when she noticed that her friend wasn´t listening.
"Is something wrong, Robin?" she asked. Robin turned her head to Nami and shook it.
"No, nothing´s wrong, navigator-san." she said. Nami frowned and said: "You know, Robin, you could start to call us by ouer names." Robin just laughed and said: "I´ll try, navigator-san." Nami sighed.
"Looks like Robin´s not gonna stop that too soon." she thought.

When Robin came back from shopping with Nami, it was alredy late. And she was still thinking about Zoro´s words.
"Why did he say it? Does he really not trust me?" she thought. Her thoughts were interrupted when somebody put a hand on her shoulder. Robin turned her head and saw Franky standing behind her.
"What is it, Franky-san?" she asked. She called Franky by a name ´cause she couldn´t think about a fitting nickname.
"I´m the one who should be asking that, Nico Robin. I don´t know you well, but I can see that something is bothering you." he said. Robin looked at Franky. True, they weren´t known eachother long, but Robin trusted Franky and thinked of him as a friend. He had been a big help in the Enies Lobby afterall. He had saved her life and helped her and her nakamas.
"You are wrong, Franky-san, nothing´s bothering me." she lied. If Franky wouldn´t know any better, he would have believed Robin. He frowned and said: "Don´t lie to me, Nico Robin."
"I´m not lying", Robin said simply. Franky was going to say something back, but then Zoro walked in. Franky allmost started to laugh when he saw Zoro´s mama-shirt, but then he noticed how Robin clenched her hands in to fists.
"I´m going to read", Robin said and left the room. Now Franky knew that Robin´s bad mood had something to do with Zoro.
"Oi, Roronoa Zoro!" he yelled at Zoro. Zoro turned his head to Franky.
"What?" he asked.
"What have you done to Nico Robin? She´s acting weirdly." Franky asked angrily. Zoro blinked a couple of times before his brains registered what Franky had said.
"What makes you think I did something to her!?" He shouted.
"Because she left when you walked in! Don´t try to deny it!" Franky shouted angrily. He was sure that Zoro had done something to Robin.
"Listen Franky, I haven´t done any-" Zoro suddenly stopped his sentence when he relized what Franky meant.
"Did Robin get mad about that my comment in the street? It was just a little thing!" he thought. Franky noticed that Zoro had stopped talking and chanced it for thinking.
"Aha! I knew he did something to her!" he thought. Franky walked over to Zoro and crapped his collar, which was pretty hard since Zoro´s shirt was so small.
"Apologize from her", Franky said. Zoro looked at him angrily and asked: "And why would I do that?"
"Because if you don´t-" Franky started and thinked for a moment. Then he smirked. Zoro raised an eyebrow questionly.
"-because if you don´t, I´ll tell everyone what kind of shirt you are wearing." he finished his sentence. Zoro froze. He had totally forgotten that he was still wearing the shirt he had borrowed.
"Oh shit", he cursed in his head.
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"Are you going to apologize from her or not?" Franky asked irritated. Zoro frowned and said: "Fine, I´ll do it." Franky smiled and letted go of him.
"Good. Now go apologize." Franky said and pointed at the door where Robin had gone in.
"Now?"
"Ofcourse now, idiot!" Franky yelled.
"Hell no! What if someone else is in there too? They can´t see me in this shirt!" Zoro yelled. That would be way too embarrassing.
"Nico Robin should be the only one in that room. And if you don´t go in right now I´ll tell everyone about your shirt AND that you hurted her feelings!" Franky yelled with a smirk on his face. Zoro slapped his forhead and said: "Fine, I´ll go now."
He opened the door and peeked in. Franky was right; Robin was the only one in the room. She was sitting on her bed and reading a book. Zoro sighed in relief and walked in to the room.

Robin sat on her bed. She was reading a book that she had buyed when she and Nami had been shopping. She heard the door open, but she didn´t look up since she knew it was Zoro. She had heard his and Franky´s conversation.
"He wouldn´t apologize from me if Franky wouldn´t have threatened him." Robin thought and turned a page from her book.
"Robin?" Zoro started. He still hated the fact that he had to apologize. Robin lifted her head from the book.
"Yes, Kenshi-san?" she asked. Zoro frowned. Why couldn´t Robin call them by theyr names? But that wasn´t the thing he had came to say.
"Okay, here we go." He thought as he said: "Robin, I´m sorry about earlier. Everyone has secrets, not just you. I… I´m sorry that I made it sound like that."
Robin sighed. He just didn´t get it.
"I just wan´t them all to trust me. Why can´t he get it? Why can´t he trust me?" Robin thought. She was so sad, but she hid it well.
"It´s alright, Kenshi-san." Robin said with a smile. Zoro raised an eyebrow.
"You sure? Franky said you were angry." he asked. Robin´s mask fell, but just for a moment.
"Not angry, Kenshi-san, I´m sad." she said in her mind.
"No, Kenshi-san, I´m not angry. I´m just a little tired." Robin lied. Zoro watched Robin for a moment. He had a feeling that she was lying, but why would she lie? Zoro decided to let it be.
"Well then, that´s good." Zoro said. They heard sounds from outside.
"Maybe you should change your shirt before the others come back here", Robin said, changing the subject. Zoro looked at his shirt. It was still the same lovely mama-shirt.
"Shit, she´s right!" Zoro cursed.
"Oh, that´s true. Thanks." he said. Robin smiled as a reply and continued reading. Zoro took of his shirt, threw it under the bed and started to look for a new one. When he did this, he glanched at Robin.
"I wouldn´t have remempered in time if she wouldn´t have told me to change. Maybe she really is a little trustfuller than I thought." he thought. Robin looked up from her book.
"Something wrong, Kenshi-san?" she asked. Zoro looked away from Robin and said: "No, I´m just looking for my shirt." Robin pointed to the floor in front of her.
"Isn´t that your´s?" she asked. She was pointing at a shirt in front of of her bed. Zoro looked at it.
"Yeah, it is. But I don´t get it what it´s doing there." Zoro mumbeled. He walked lazyly to get his shirt. When he was going to pick it up, he accidently stepped on it and fell. And ofcourse, right on to Robin.
They lay face to face in Robin´s bed, Zoro on the top . Robin had dropped her book when Zoro had slipped. Zoro´s face was pink, and Robin was blushing a little too.
"Kenshi-sa-" Robin started when the door burst open.
"Oi Zoro! Are you here!?" shouted Luffy who was standing in a now open doorway. He noticed Robin and Zoro on the Robin´s bed and asked: "What are you two doing?"
They didn´t have a chance to answer when Franky and Nami were alredy standing next to Luffy.
"What are you looking at, Luf-" Nami stopped her sentence when she saw Zoro and Robin.
"What the hell? I never knew those two were THAT close!" she thought. Franky slapped his forhead.
"I told him to apologize, not do anything like that!" he thought.
"Ahem… we can come back later . Bye!" Nami said. She grapped Luffy and Franky´s arm and pulled them out of the door. Then she slammed the door shut.
Robin blinked.
"Wait a minute, she didn´t think that Kenshi-san and I…?" she thought.
Zoro stared at the door. He was redder than ever.
"Wait a second, they don´t think that we…?" he thought. Then he realized that it was Nami who had seen them. Ofcourse she would think something like that.
"It´s not like that!" he shouted without thinking any further. He jumped of of the bed and run out of the door.
Robin heard how he was trying to explain others that it wasn´t what they thought it was. She decided to let it be and continue reading her book.
"Well maybe he still doesn´t trust me, but atleast we get along a little better now." she thought as she pickked up her book and continued reading.
A.N: Okay, so this was suppoused to be an oneshot, but I decided to make a second chapter for this as well. Review, okay?
