Randomness. I was thinking of a few ways Robin and Zoro could have revealed their relationship to the crew. No real backstory for any of them. Just that they haven't decided to tell the crew yet.

Nami and Robin were wondering through town. The navigator had convinced the historian to join her as she cut loose for a bit in town. Robin had been a bit skeptical on what they might get into while out on their own, but still enjoyed her time around the younger woman.

"Hey!" A male voice called out, causing both of them to turn toward a pair of men addressing them. "Hey, sorry to bother you both, but me and my friend were wondering if you'd like to join us for a drink?" The young man asked, eyeing both of them in appreciation.

"Actually, we were-" "Sounds great!" Nami cut Robin off. Robin really didn't want to bother with both these younger men. Clearly misjudging her age compared to the red head. Most likely assuming they were the same age.

"Ah, Nami-san, I really don't want to-" Robin started, only to be cut short by the navigator once again.

"Don't worry Robin, we'll just get a few free drinks and ditch these losers." Nami whispered to reassure the archeologist that this was being handled. Robin, felt sommeone following close behind but figured it wouldn't be anything she couldn't handle. Nami was animately talking to the young man who approached them. His friend, while not as talkative, was definitely not shy. He had tried to wrap his arm around Robin's waist, only for her to slide away from him. They entered a fairly nice lookinng bar and took a seat at a table in the far corner. Robin sat across from Nami, who had comfortably sat close to her "companion" for the moment. Robin tried to settle in the same way, but her "companion" was still too close for her liking.

"Sorry, I just realized, we never properly introduced ourselves. My name is Clint." The man introduced, holding out his hand to Nami first.

"Nami." The navigator smiled, shaking his hand. Nami turned and held her hand out to the man next to Robin as to introduce herself to him aswell.

"Hugh." He smiled cockily, taking her hand. He held his hand out for Robin, which she reluctantly shook.

"Robin." She smiled, trying not to be rude. This was definitely something she didn't want to deal with. Using her powers inn such a public place would no doubt draw A LOT of attention. Unwanted attention.

"Nami? Why does that name seem to fit such a cute girl like you?" Clint flirted. Nami laughed, going along with his futile advances, pretending to be shy but interested.

"That's so sweet of you." Nami replied innocently. They were having a conversation to themselves as Robin noticed a familiar presence enter the bar. The man was covered in large rags of clothing, obviously trying to hide his appearance. She recogized it as the personn who was following them earlier.

"So, Robin." Hugh said tryng to be low and husky. It just came out creepier to Robin. "Where are you from? I don't think I've seen you around here before." He said. No doubt you've already been rejected by every girl here, she thought.

"Just stopping by, we were just exploring the town when you two stopped us." She answered. She was trying her best to hold a friendly smile and seem uninterested.

"What kind of drinks do you two want?" Clint asked. Standing up to make his way to the bar.

"I'll go with you, I know what she likes." Nami stood up, pretending to be eager to be alone with the man. Robin was now forced to be alone with this, pig of a young man. Their sudden seclusion made him bolder. She couldn't walk away from his grasp this time as he wrapped his arm around her waist and rest a hand on her exposed thigh.

"I guess, that just leaves us." Hugh whispered with a disgusting grin. He leaned forward pressed a kiss to her neck as she tried to turn away. A few hands sprouted underneath his chair, only to dissappear as a sudden crash of glass breaking echoed through the bar.

The thickly clothed stranger had thrown a bottle and his glass and was rushing toward Her and the young man.

"Robin!" Nami yelled. Clint, still tryin his hardest to seem like the valient knight rushed to aid them from this attacker. The clothed man sprouted a katana from the layers of cloth and put it at Hugh's throat. Clint was about to swing at the man when he was suddenly caught by a hand, holding him in the air at his collar.

"You even try to stop me, I'll cut you too." The man said in a dark tone. Turning his attention back to the one at the end of his sword. "You alright? He didn't try anything other than what I saw did he?" He asked Robin, not takinng his eyes away from the young man.

"No, thank you. I was about to handle it though. You don't have to always worry." Robin sighed, relieved that this ordeal was finally over.

"Not worry?! Are you fucking kidding me?! This is exactly why I worry!" The man argued.

"Robin?! Who is that?!" Nami shouted. Confused why Robin seemed to be so familiar with the man.

"Shut up, Witch! I'll talk to you about this at the ship!" The yelled at her, pulling off the thick hood and face mask he was wearing.

"Zoro?!" Nami gasped in disbelief. "What are you doing here?"

"Looking after Robin, I don't like it when you take her out on your own." He responded.

"Why do you have to look after her?! We're perfectly capable of handling ourselves."

"Cause she's my girlfriend, I want to make sure she's okay!" He yelled back, turning to face her fianlly. Nami's eyes grew wide and her mouth gaped open. Did she really just hear what she thought she heard? Zoro threw Clint across the bar, sending him crashing into a number of stools. Zoro held out his hand for Robin.

"Thank you, Zoro-kun, but as I already told you, I was about to deal with it myself. You don't need to stress yourself." Robin reasoned as she rose to Zoro's side. Giving him a quick peck on the cheek as they intertwined hands.

"I know, but I couldn't stand it any longer. Just cause you can handle yourself, doesn't mean you have to. That's what I''m here for." He explained, sharing a small kiss before turning back to the man in question. Zoro edged his blade closer to the man's neck, pressing the cold steel into his skin. "You touched the wrong woman." He said to Hugh. Driving the blade through his collar a bit before cutting straight down. He cried out in pain before passing out. Zoro didn't feel the boy deserved to be killed by him and left him to bleed. The couple then turned to the red head who still hadn't processed all of this.

"WHAT?!" She screamed.

"How long have you two been together?" Nami asked. They were walkinng back to the ship. Zoro was in no mood to talk to the navigator, Robinn however was happier than she had been all day. Leaning agaisnt Zoro as they walked.

"A few months now, right Zoro-kun?" Robin replied, hoping to relax the swordsman by including him in the small talk.

"Ah, something like that." He breathed.

"Jeez! That long?! When were you going to tell us?!" Nami shouted, somewhat hurt her two friends felt like keeping secrets from her.

"I don't know." Zoro answered. "I thought she would be embaressed by me." He confessed. Robin frowned at the very idea.

"Zoro-kun, I love you. I have nothing to be embaressed about. I just thought it you found it more exciting to keep it a secret." She laughed.

"What?! Exciting?! I have to pretend I don't love you or fight back the urge to hold you every now and then! It's stressful." He exasperated. Not finding it amusing at all.

"So? Should we tell the crew when we get back?" Robin asked somewhat suggesting it.

"Fine with me." Zoro started to smile. Thinking about how much easier and just plain nicer it would be to finally be able to act like a boyfriend to Robin all the time.
