Robin took her seat on the deck as usual, and gracefully grabbed the book on the table. She slowly opened it up with her fingers, her fingertips carefully turning the pages. Zoro would watch as she smiled as she read and flattened the page, he carefully examined her with his eyes, slowly and curiously watched her every move. He'd been watching her for the past 5 minutes. "Mr. Swordsman.." Robin called out, but not looking up. She stayed looking at her book, turning the pages, sipping from her coffee. Zoro was shocked. How'd she know? Then he noticed she had her devil fruit power, he groaned.
"Gah," he said walking down the steps of the Thousand Sunny, "that power of yours is such a pain." He stopped in front of Robin. There she finally looked up.
"If that's how you see it," Robin smiled slightly then looked back down. Zoro hated when she did that. Shed smile but then look away, as if it wasn't a big deal. Zoro had an idea. He pulled out a seat from the side and opened it right across from Robin, across the table.
"Ah," Zoro sighed happily. Robin looked up, curiously. She watched him, carefully placing her book onto the table to watch him more. Zoro sat down, but suddenly the seat snapped and broke. Robin giggled quietly, blushing. Zoro groaned in pain as hands sprouted from the ground and table, helping the Marimo Swordsman up.
"Are you alright?" Robin asked, still smiling.
"I'm fine," Zoro said, embarrassed.
"No need to be embarrassed," Robin smiled.
"I'm not embarrassed!" Zoro shot back angrily. He angrily walked away and out of sight. Robin smiled, and went back to her book. Luffy jumped towards Robin, laughing all happy like.
"Hey Robin," Luffy said.
"Yes, Captain?" Robin looked up at Luffy.
"Do you love Zoro?" Luffy asked.
"What?" Robin was shocked. Luffy would never talk about this stuff, he had nothing to do with it, nor he cared about it either. "Are you okay, Captain?"
"I'm fine," Luffy said stretching out his arms, "I just want to know." Robin stayed silent. Luffy stared at Robin, questioningly, waiting for an answer.
"I won't say anything," Luffy shot his trademark smile, "I promise!" Robin slightly smiled at Luffy, sighing.
"There's nothing for you to know, Captain, I'll tell you when you need to know," Robin said, being her usual self, keeping secrets to herself. Luffy's grin slowly faded as he watched Robin get up from her seat, grab her book, and go down to the Women's Quarters. Luffy sighed deeply, he really wanted to know. Nobody really knew why, but he did...
"Oi, Luffy, what did she say?" Zoro quietly snuck up behind Luffy.
"Huh? She said nothing, Zoro," Luffy put on his straw hat, "Is Sanji done cooking?" Zoro stayed silent for a moment.
"I think so," Zoro said, walking back towards the kitchen. Luffy followed cheering about eating and how yummy food is. Zoro rolled his eyes and couldn't get the thought of Robin out of his head. He shook it, trying to get the vision out of his head, but he couldn't. He took a long, deep breath, closed his eyes, and thought silently. Suddenly, he bumped into someone. Sanji.
"OI! Watch where you're going Marimo," Sanji growled, balancing the plates on his hands and arms.
"NO! You watch where you're going!" Zoro yelled back, completely forgetting about what he was thinking about right before.
