I was sitting in the study, reading. I was so absorbed in the book that I didn't notice Zoro standing by my side, reading over my shoulder.
"What's this?" he asked, nodding at the book. I jumped, shocked by his sudden appearance.
"It's a book." I replied when I could speak again.
He rolled his eyes and leant against the chair. "Obviously it's a book!" he replied and I blushed. "I meant what is the book about?" I held out the book for him and he took it, raising an eyebrow.
"It's a romantic novel." I pointed out and felt myself blush again. "It's about a girl who dreams of sailing and meets a man who she falls in love with."
He smiled this time and I had to do a double take to check that I wasn't seeing things. Zoro never smiled!
"It seems… interesting." He handed the book back and I took it gingerly. "I don't think I'd have enough patience to read though."
"I love reading; it makes me feel like none of my worries exist." I said, and saw Zoro glance at the pile of books in the corner of the room. "If you ever want to borrow them, you can."
He seemed to consider it but then shook his head. "Too busy." He replied and got up to leave the room. He reached the doorframe then stopped, and turned to face me. "Wait, I have to do something first!" he said and rushed to my side. He brushed his lips to mine and I froze shocked. It took a few seconds for my body to react but once I got over the shock, I wrapped my arms around his neck and started kissing him back.
His hands gripped my waist and I used my hana hana ability to hold his body against mine as my other two hands stroked his short green hair.
His lips trailed down my collarbone and I stroked the back of his neck as he reached out to undo my collar. "I love you Nico Robin." He said lifting his mouth of my skin to talk.
"And I love you, Roronoa Zoro." I replied as he took both my hands in his. He placed then against his chest and I could feel the warmth from his body flow through me like an electric current. I pulled myself against his chest and he lifted my lips back to his.
We continued kissing; our bodies pressed close together, my fingers entwined in his soft green hair.
