Earning trust, part 7
Robin was sitting in the dark, waiting for Soran to come back from work.
"I hope everyone are okay. I wonder if same happened to Luffy, too?" she thought. Luffy had been alright when she had `left´, but she had no idea what had happened after it. Robin glanced out of the window. She was worried about everyone, especially Zoro. He was so badly wounded when he disappeared.
"Zoro, everyone… please, be alive." she whispered silently.
XXXXX
Zoro cursed in his mind. He was sitting on a bed, trying to get up slowly and quietly that Perona wouldn´t notice him. His plan was find his swords and get out of there before that crazy girl find out. But that wasn´t easy, since he wasn´t even getting up.
"Damn it! I can´t waste my time here, I need to get back to others!" he cursed in his mind. He tried to stand up again. And this time he did get up, but when he tried to walk he just fell on to the floor with a loud thud.
"I really hope that that Horo-Horo girl didn´t hear that", Zoro thought and tried to get up. But he fell to the floor again. He wasn´t tired or hungry, so it was just because of the wounds. Zoro knew that rest was the best medicine, but he really didn´t have time to rest! He needed to get back to Luffy and the others.
"What was that sound just now?" Perona asked when she entered the room. She didn´t even bother to try hold her laugher when she saw Zoro on the floor.
"Horo horo horo! You are pitiful!" she laughed. A vein popped on Zoro´s for head.
"Shut the hell up!" he yelled. He tried to get up again, but failed.
"Horo horo horo, you can´t even get up!" Perona laughed again. This time Zoro ignored her and just tried to get up. And the keyword in this is `tried´. He fell to his stomach again.
Perona watched Zoro´s helpless attempts to get up. She pitied him a little, but just a little. She grabbed on to his shoulders and threw him to his bed.
"Ouch!" Zoro yelped.
"What was that for!" he yelled while he was attempting to get up. Perona jumped on Zoro´s stomach that he would lay down.
"Hold still and rest, idiot! Your wounds will open!" she yelled.
"Ugh… well they might open when you stand on me, too!" Zoro yelled back. Perona frowned. She kicked his face and jumped off of his stomach to the floor.
"You´re not cute at all!" she yelled. Zoro´s face went red from embarrassment and anger.
"Well same goes with you!" he yelled back. Perona made a face at Zoro, turned around and left the room. Zoro frowned, tried to get up and failed.
"Damn! Well, I guess I just need to rest a little bit." He thought. He didn´t mean to fall asleep, but he still did.
XXXXX
Zoro opened his eyes slowly. He blinked.
"Damn, I didn´t mean to fall asleep!" he cursed in his mind. He tried to get up again, but as you can probably guess, he failed. He sighed. He rubbed his eyes and took the vivrecard from his pocket. It moved to the right.
"That way, huh? Well it doesn´t help if I can´t even get up", he thought. His stomach rumbled.
"And now I´m hungry. Am I turning into Luffy or something!" he thought annoyed. And then Perona came to the room again. Zoro frowned.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"I brought you food, but looks like you don´t want it." Perona said. Zoro glanced at Perona. She really did have a tray in her hands. Perona smirked.
"You can still have this if you beg for it", she said. Zoro frowned. He was really hungry, but was he hungry enough to beg for food? No.
"Forget it", he said.
"Okay, you won´t get food." Perona said. She put the tray on to table far away from the bed where Zoro was in. Then she took a book from the shelf, sat on a chair next to shelf and started to read the book.
"Just say if you change your mind", she said to Zoro. Zoro frowned. There was no way he would change his mind. Right?
"But if I eat I will get better sooner, so maybe I should just swallow my pride?" Zoro shook his head. No, he wouldn´t allow his hunger win.
"That bitch is so annoying! She wins even Nami and that marine Tashigi!" Zoro thought. Then he realized something.
"Robin´s the only woman who´s not annoying like that", he thought. Then he realized something else. He had thought about Robin pretty much lately. It was pretty weird to him. Ever since Kuina died he hadn´t thought about any woman in any way, but now he thought about Robin almost all the time. When Robin joined the crew, he had been against it. But now… well, he had to admit, he missed Robin the most.
"I really hope she´s okay", he thought. He glanced at Perona and noticed that she was reading a romance novel.
"A romance novel? Her? Who would have thought", he thought. Perona just didn´t seem that kind of person. And neither did Rob- oh shit. He started to think about Robin again. He remembered that Robin usually read books that had something to do with history.
"Why can´t I stop thinking about her!" Zoro thought. He glanced out of the window and thought: "Is this what they call… love?"
A.N: Okay, I know: lame and short. This whole chapter´s point was just tell that Zoro realized that he loves Robin. Review, okay?
