Thank you all so much for the lovely reviews and favourite alerts I received for the first chapter! It really made me happy that people had enjoyed my first stab at fanfiction.

Enjoy!

Injury

"You shouldn't rush about like that, you'll do yourself an injury." Robin said calmly, not even looking up from her book.

Zoro made a sound of disbelief at his girlfriend's words. "The amount of scrapes I get into with random assholes and how often do you see me needing to do anything but have a nap to get better? Exactly."

"Yes, but when you're fighting them, you have at least a bit of focus, but right now you're just a normal, panicked man running around with one shoe on, not paying attention to anything." She returned to her book, a small smile on her face.

He didn't have time for this. And where the hell was his shoe? He was already running late and couldn't afford to have Nami slap another debt onto him for failing to help out at some stupid event Sanji was catering for. Then he saw it, peeking out from underneath the bed. Glancing at the clock, he smiled. There was still hope; he could make it in time!

Sprinting for the bedroom, Zoro failed to notice the slightly raised floorboard he had been meaning to get fixed for months.

1 and a half hours and a very pissed off Nami and Sanji later..

"Will you really be able to sleep this one off, dear?"

"Shut up. I don't see what's so funny." Zoro grumbled, looking at the thick bandages wrapped around his toe with a scowl on his face. Robin just giggled. Poor Zoro, he'd broken his toe by tripping on the floorboard and had to endure Sanji's hysterical laughter, Usopp snorting when he found out how he had done it, Luffy's (painful) prodding of said toe and Chopper and Nami's lectures on why he shouldn't be so careless. It wasn't even lunchtime yet and it had already been a long day for the green-haired man.

Still smiling, Robin leaned in to kiss his cheek. "I suppose now would be a bad time to say 'I told you so?'" She resisted the urge to start laughing at the look of complete outrage on his face. "Say that again and I'll..I'll.."

"You'll what? Limp after me at top speed?" Okay, maybe that one had been a bit of a low blow. She gently ruffled his hair and spoke softly. "I'll get you some Sake, that sound good?" Immediately, Zoro's face brightened up, no matter how hard he tried to keep the scowl there. "Y-you wanna have some with me?" He mumbled. Robin smiled at how easily she had been forgiven. "Of course. I was also thinking that maybe we could rent a movie tonight? One of those old Samurai ones you love so much."

The disbelief on his face was almost comical. Robin hardly ever agreed to watch those movies with him! And here she was offering him Sake and practically insisting they watch stuff he liked!

Later on, as the movie finished, Zoro noticed the near-empty bottle of booze, a sleeping Robin on his shoulder, the insanely comfortable blanket and pillows surrounding them and his bad foot propped up on the coffee table. Before falling asleep, he smiled and thought, "Maybe this injury thing isn't all that terrible..."

The sharp throbbing in his toe just then reminded him why it was.

Oh gosh I don't know, I'm writing this at 2am. The next chapter will hopefully be more fluffy instead of just another round of Zoro-abuse..

Just so you're aware, not all the chapters will be in chronological order. They're all mish-mashed and jumbled about because inspiration hits at random times, I may get an idea for a oneshot about Zoro and Robin at the beginning of their relationship for one chapter, and get another idea for them pretty far down the line for the next one. It's the way the cookie's gonna crumble for this fic.
