Chapter 7: A day with a Bodyguard: In Water 7
Robin finally released her palm relaxingly grasped in Zoro's cheeks and stopped on kissing him back, thinking it is not the right time for them to do that. Zoro quickly responded.
"Oh" he breathed out.
After on what happened, no one dared to talk. They both felt shy and become more self conscious. Robin held her lips and bit it. Zoro still staring blankly at her. He never kissed someone since childhood. The only thing that caught in his mind now is. Is he her first kiss too?
He shook his head. Why I'm hella curious about it? Who's she, anyway?
On the other hand, Robin tucked her hair behind her ears and soon avoided Zoro's eyes that are really fixed at hers. Somewhat, she felt a bit conscious or really conscious. She suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled him.
"H-Hey" Zoro said, surprised.
"Let's shop" Robin said, still holding his hand while heading to the main way that lead to the capital of Water 7.
Zoro didn't reply. Instead, he stopped on walking. With a frown, Robin looked at him.
"Can you let go of my hand first." Zoro said, raising his eyebrow.
She turned her gaze on their hands and gave a little blush. Zoro put his arms on his head and continued on walking. Robin still didn't move on her place.
He stopped too, who's already half meter far on her. "Do you really have money for shopping,huh, Nico Robin?" he said, crescending his tone.
Robin laughed, of course in a gentle way and started to walk until he reached Zoro. They continued walking.
On their way, neither Zoro nor Robin talked. Robin seemed to notice the silence so she's thinking if she will start a conversation. But she knew, Zoro is not used to talk a lot. Okay, never mind. I won't talk. Same thoughts are running also in Zoro's head. Talk or not?
"Uh. Anyway….." Words came on their mouth at same time, same minute and same second. They both laughed.
"Well. I'm thinking whether I'll talk or not." Zoro said.
Robin smiled at him. "Same here."
"Anyway, why did you just planned on shopping?" he asked.
"Nothing" she answered but her attention was cut on half.
"Ah. Mood swing" he concluded.
Robin continued looking at something.
"What's your problem? You kept on looking sideward" he irritably asked.
Water 7's shopping spree. Both for ladies or gentlemen. The name of the boutique caught her attention. She looked at the mannequins displayed on the front part of the store. The lady mannequin is wearing a cute tank tops and a skinny pants with red boots. Hmm, not bad? She thought. While, the guy mannequin is wearing a green fit shirt revealing its fake muscles and khaki shorts with leather shoes. Robin tried to recall Zoro's outfits. Well, he is actually wearing the same shirt like yesterday.
"Mr. Swordsman, do you change shirt everyday?" Robin asked without hesitation.
Zoro's eyes widen in such a disgusting question. Did she just ask me a ridiculous thing? His paranoid face showed. "WHAT THE HELL? ARE YOU REALLY SERIOUS ON THAT QUESTIONNN? OF COURSE I AM!" he lied.
Robin smiled at him and her eyes pointed on his shirt. Zoro seemed to get what she meant.
"Well. I change every other day" he finally confessed, his cheeks blushing.
"Come with me. I'll buy you. Maybe 2 or 3 pairs" she offered.
What's on her? Zoro thought.
"No. Nevermind. I didn't need shirts"
"No!" Robin scolded.
"Yes!" he replied.
Robin snagged his arm and grabbed him heading to the store. Near the entrance, Zoro let go of her tight grip. "I will never ever go inside" he said.
"Hmm..That's why I notice why Sanji way looks better than you" she teasingly said, turning around with her arms crossed.
The last words that Robin said rang on his head over and over and over again until his eyes burnt with Sanji's face on his eyes. THAT? LOOKS BETTER THAN ME? THE CURLY COOK IS BETTER THAN ME? No way.
With his eyes burning, he entered the store with an evil era. The people inside looked at him, really afraid on the new 'dark' atmosphere he brought.
"Nico Robin, Buy me 5 pairs!" he commanded, with a smoke belching from his nose.
"Swear first that I'm now paid on the 'good payment' you're saying this morning."
"Yeah yeah" Zoro said as he is picking up the t-shirts in sale section.
Robin smiled at him. She started on hunting good shirts.
"Try this one, Mr. Swordsman" she said as she unfolded the t-shirt on her hand. The shirt is white and simple, which will really look great at Zoro.
Thinking of Sanji, he harshly snagged it on Robin's hand and quickly shoved his shirt over his head. The jaw of the crowd dropped.
"Here? Looks good?" Zoro asked confidently.
"Uh. Do you know what fitting rooms are for?" Robin asked.
He looked on the crowd with a red face. He just doesn't know what he is doing when hearing Sanji's name. Every time he heard of it, he feels so annoyed. He is a real rival. Speaking of Fitting rooms, he does not know really about it. Thinking about malls and boutiques are for girls only, he thought. So, he's not really aware what that is for. Feeling so irritated on the looks of disdain, his evil era arouse again. His eyes blackened as his gaze focused on the crowd. He looked at them as if "IM GOING TO KILL YOU IF YOU ARE STILL STARING AT ME"
The crowd tremulously moved slowly and ran for their lives heading outside the store.
"Ahah!" Zoro boisterously laughed.
Robin stayed silent. Suddenly, a fat woman appeared with her eyebrows met on each other. "WHAT THE HELL IS FOR THAT?" she yelled at Zoro. Feeling so angry because of the sudden disappearance of her customers, she whacked Zoro with a silver stick she snatched on her for-emergency weapon bag and kicked him outside of the store.
Zoro with a big bump on his head go back on Galley La. Robin is still smiling.
"THAT OLD FAT WOMAN IS JUST LIKE NAMI! THEY BOTH HAVE BRAIN PROBLEMS! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE HER!" Zoro said with his eyes still burning.
"Forget her" Robin said as she stopped walking. She grabbed a brown bag on her bag and gave it to Zoro. "Here."
"What's this?"
"Why don't you look inside of it?"
Zoro peeped inside and found shirts folded.
"YOU STOLE IT?" his eyes widening.
"No. I bought it. The woman just doubled the price on what you have done" she said.
Zoro remained silent. He never expected that Robin will do such a thing. He removed the shirts on the bag and started on looking one by one.
"Like it?" Robin asked.
"Thanks, Robin" he grinned.
"Already enough for the 'good payment'?" she teased.
"Yes" he said as he folds back the shirt and put them inside the brown bag.
Zoro went close at her and gave her a soft kiss on her cheeks. "What if I already fell for the Miss All Sunday on the very first start?" he whispered. Robin heard her heart thumping like a horses hoofs on her ears.
"Kidding" he continued.
