AN: I'm new to this website and Im a very big fan of the pairing Zoro and Robin, I've recently read a one-shot collection for a few pairings and I decided to make my own. Please enjoy and give me ideas on one shots! I don't have a really big imagination and don't forget to review!
We're Always Together, In Every Universe
One shot - For Robin and Zoro (ONLY!)
Crazed Killer
Robin paced back and forth down the hall, she was about to go in a room with a crazed serial killer that they managed to catch. She was a nervous wreck and Chopper wasn't helping. Of course, she wouldn't say that to his face.
"R-Robin! You'll be fine! He wouldn't mutilate you! He's not armed, so he wouldn't be able to kill you when you speak to hi-"
"Uhh... Thanks, Chopper but please stop saying those type of things,"
The little but smart doctor rubbed the back of his head sheepishly as he realised his mistake and sat still, Robin sighed and sat down next to him, she looked at her watch.
'3 minutes'
Robin was starting to regret doing this, she usually loved these jobs, her mind is full of morbid things. But how come she gets anxiety now? Was it because she was scared of dying? Was it because that she didn't want to be in the same room with a man that has killed over 200 people in 9 hours? She can only imagine what happened to those bodies, she managed to catch a glimpse of a girl that was completely severed. Her small and delicate frame ruined from a single stroke of a katana, a massive cut from her left leg to the neck. Robin shivered at the memories of the pictures, she felt sorry for Chopper that had to help treat the wounded. Robin let her heart beat as quick as it could, she looked to Chopper who was eating some candyfloss and smiled.
"Nico Robin to solitary cell 3,"
Robin sighed once more and stood up, Chopper jumped off of his chair and walked with Robin to the highly guarded solitary cells. Chopper usually hid behind Robin from the 'scary' guards, she only giggled at him and moved on. As she opened the door to the solitary area, he felt the anxiety creeping up on her back again. She pushed it away and walked on to the cell that screamed '3'. A man was there waiting for her, he had a gun in his pocket and a microphone on his kevlar. He looked like he was in his mid-twenties, he was tanned and looked foreign. He pulled out his gun and cocked it, "Ready?"
Robin exhaled and nodded, the man opened the door and walked in first, Robin then walked in and examined the room, it was purely white, but what stood out the most was the man in front of her. He had light green hair and he was strapped to a metal chair in the middle of the room, he was in a straight jacket and he looked down at the ground making his eyes a mystery to her. Robin bit her lip then turned on her microphone on her blazer.
"Why are you here?"
Robin flinched at his tone, the man in the corner of the room reached closer to his gun, it was silent for a few minutes until Robin finally let go of her fear and spoke.
"Well, we want to know what happened 2 months ago, and we would like to start with your name please,"
The killer laughed, it held no emotion except for amusement, "And tell me now lady, why the fuck should I give you my name? Hmm? For people to mock me? Hate me? CURSE ME!?"
Robin was scared, and so was the soldier in the room, the man pulled out his gun and put it to the killers head,
"Listen here, mate, you need to calm your fucking shit or I'll put a bullet in your fucking head!"
The killer chuckled darkly, "Shoot me then, then you wouldn't know shit about me, isn't that right? 'Mate'?"
The man cursed loudly and put his gun away, Robin calmed her beating heart and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "We would need a name sir if not then I'm afraid we would have to call you killer all the time,"
"Might as well just call me that, I'm saying anything,"
Robin's confidence in speaking to the killer rose and she nodded,
"Well then Mr killer, why did you murder the 193 civilians two months ago?"
"Why? Because I felt like it, they pissed me off so I lashed out my anger on them,"
The soldier was fuming at this point, he smacked the killer with the side of his gun,
"So my brother died because you were angry?! what happened huh?! Your wife didn't like you in bed and fucking cheated on you?!"
The killer shook his head in amusement and stayed quiet, for a few moments it was just the heavy breathing of the soldier and an occasional chuckle that sends a shiver down your spine, Robin looked over to the soldier to see how he was doing and he nodded,
"I'm fine now,"
"Mr Killer, May I ask if you have any families or loved ones?"
The room suddenly turned really cold and quiet, Robin's instincts started to scream 'RUN', but she didn't, her legs stayed still and her eyes were fixed on the man in front of her.
"Tell me, woman..."
Robin looked up to the man and was shocked at what she saw, he was grinning at her, a full maniacal grin with his single eye wide open.
"Do you have someone to love?! To go to at night?! To go to when problems rise!? Someone to hold dear and close to your fucking heart?!"
His eyes started to tear up with his grin still plastered on his face,
"Well guess what?! I fucking don't! She had to FUCKING DIE WHEN I WAS AT MY WORST! I WAS LEFT ALONE FOR TEN YEARS AND SHE WAS ALL I FUCKING HAD!"
He started to struggle against the straight jacket and Robin listened to every word he said, the soldier didn't look too good, he had his gun out and he was panting from the fear,
"I HAD NO ONE TO LOVE! NO ONE TO GO TO AT NIGHT! NOTHING! ALL I HAD WAS NIGHTMARES!"
The straight jacket started to screech and pop, the soldier was sweating off the intent the killer was letting out and fell unconscious, but Robin didn't care, she kept her eyes on the man in front of her. His grin was something that would scare the living daylights out of people, but for her, it wasn't a grin. She knew that behind that grin was a kind man, a man that was willing to talk to someone of his troubles.
"WHY!? WHY THE FUCK DID SHE HAVE TO DIE?! WHERE THE HELL DID THAT MAN COME FROM ANYWAYS?!"
At this rate the straight jacket fell off and he shook it off of him, the door outside rattled and the killer paced towards Robin with his hands up ready to suffocate her,
"NO ONE WANTS ME ANYMORE! THAT WHY SHE DIED RIGHT?! BECAUSE NO ONE'S MEANT TO LOVE ME!?"
Robin embraced him,
"What about me?"
The man's eyes widened and his grin dropped,
"If no one loves you then let me, let me love you and take care of you,"
The killer sunk the words into his mind and fell to his knees, with Robin following him. The man slowly dropped his arms and hugged Robin closer to him, he started to cry. Robin looked over to the soldier that was unconscious and sighed, she then looked to the man that was hugging her as if his life depended on it and smiled. she rested her head on his shoulder and breathed in his scent,
'Iron'
A man of blood,a killer and a murderer was now crying on her shoulder, the door burst open with an armed swat team and Robin was immediately on the alert,
"Robin?! Rob-"
"I'm ok,"
The team looked at the two and dropped their guard, they nodded and checked the soldier that was unconscious. Her boss, Marcus, walked into the room with a smile,
"So I'm guessing that it went well,"
They all looked to the man that was still crying and Robin nodded, "Of course, he's my responsibility now, so plea-"
"Zoro,"
They looked to the man now referred to as Zoro and Robin smiled, Zoro looked at Robin and smiled back, but what Robin saw made her blush, his eyes weren't scary or cold anymore. The were warm and inviting, and Robin now looked at her current position.
He was half naked and she was in his arms, this made her face even more scarlet making her boss chuckle in amusement.
"Thank you..."
"Robin, Nico Robin"
"Zoro, Roronoa Zoro"
