Nami didn't expect Zoro to turn romantic all of a sudden and shower her with compliments and kisses and that sort of things. That was Sanji's thing, his chivalry, and it was one of the reasons why he liked Zoro, it was part of his nature. Still, spending Valentine's Day on her own wasn't as fine as it had been on previous years.

It was 13 of February and there wasn't one mention of the day, no compliment, not even a planning for their first Valentine's Day together. She obviously felt a bit hurt at those facts. And Zoro immediately detected it.

As did the crew's cook.

"You shitty marimo! What did you do to Nami-san?" he yelled, effectively kicking the distracted swordsman across the crow's nest.

"The hell are you talking about, ero-cook? It wasn't my fault!" he replied, recovering instantly and ready for the fight.

"Then what's wrong with her? I saw her completely depressed at lunch, she didn't even react when Luffy stole her food!"

"I have absolutely no idea, whatever it was it wasn't my fault!" Zoro yelled.

"Look marimo, I can't make Nami-san's decisions and if she chose you, fine." Sanji said, taking a drag of his cigarette. "But I swore to you the day your relationship started that if you made Nami-san cry, I would kick your ass overboard. And I intend to keep that promise!"

"This isn't my fault!" Zoro defended himself again.

"I don't care who's shitty fault is it! It's your duty to protect her, shithead!"

Still furious and after attempting to kick him again, Sanji left the crow's nest. Usopp, who was entering, was shoved aside by the fuming cook. Noticing his fury, Usopp decided not to comment on it. He did complain and insult when Sanji was out of hearing distance, though.

"Something wrong?" the sniper asked.

"Nah, the cook's PMSing that's all." Zoro sighed, picking up his weights again. "What do you want?"

"Oh, right. I was looking for my slingshot, I think I left it here..."

"That one?" he pointed towards the slingshot tossed on the floor.

"Hey, who dropped it there? Who would be so stupid to leave it where it can be easily stom..." the image of his grinning captain playing with his slingshot came to Usopp's mind. "Never mind." he put away the slingshot on his green bag and got ready to leave. "So, Zoro, you got something planned for valentine tomorrow?"

The weights fell from his hands, somehow not breaking the wooden floor.

oo00oo00oo00oo00oo

"Is there something troubling you, swordsman-san?" Robin asked, lifting her look from the book on her hands.

"No." he denied, looking away.

"You've been sitting next to me for at least half an hour." the woman sighed, then looked around the library. "No, there's nobody else here, and I frankly doubt you're here for reading."

"Ok, I forgot it. I forgot Valentine's Day." Zoro admitted, crossing his arms. "You can laugh now."

"I won't." she promised, although there was a smirk on her face. It couldn't be a good sign.

"Usopp said you could help since you're Nami's best friend. So, spit it out."

"What am I supposed to... 'spit out'?" she asked, intrigued.

"Something I can do to compensate. I really don't want to see her pissed." he admitted, then looked back at the book shelfs as if they were the most interesting thing in the world.

"Strange you forgot, cook-san has given me attentions due to the proximity of this date without stop." Robin commented, then added "Until I reminded him I could kill things, of course."

"Yeah, yeah, you're creepy and all, help me!" Zoro demanded with exasperation. The woman was easily getting on his nerves and time was running short. Sometimes he thought she did it intentionally.

"Well then, may I ask why are you so concerned about this particular date?"

"... what?"

"Shall I repeat?"

"No, I heard you, woman. But isn't it obvious? Girls love valentine and chivalry and gentlemans and all that crap."

"And how do you feel about... all that... as you expressed it, crap?"

"Are you a shrink?" he demanded, glaring at her furiously.

"Do you want my help?"

"I don't like any of this shit." he said bluntly. "It's just an excuse for perverts like the cook to approach the woman with cute presents and stuff, it's just plain stupid. I never needed to spend valentine with someone, it's just some stupid shit people come up to buy chocolates and stuff. Probably the ero-cook's antecessors."

"I see."

"No, you don't. And Nami doesn't see it either."

"So, to sum up, you hate Valentine's Day." she abridged.

"Yeah, pretty much."

"But, you're worried about not having planned anything with navigator-san for such a dreadful day, am I correct?"

"Well... yeah. Of course."

"I see."

"What do you see?" he asked, rolling his eyes.

"I see many things. I see you like navigator-san very much..." he blushed slightly at this, looking away again, but Robin didn't seem to care about it. "I see you hate Valentine's Day, but I also see you're willing to overcome that hatred for navigator-san, correct?"

Zoro slowly nodded, as if doubting of his answer, and still felt embarrased about the whole stupidity of the issue here. Robin just smiled mysteriously. As she always did.

"I also see that I should leave you alone." the archeologist announced, standing up.

An arm sprouted from the door frame and opened the door, causing the navigator to fall on her face in the middle of the room. The other woman left while Nami massaged her temple, slightly hurt, but instantly recovered.

"So..." Nami muttered.

A pause. A very long pause. And way too slient and awkward for their liking. Zoro seemed to have frozen when he saw her. Just how much had she heard?

"I'm not going to forget you forgotten about Valentine's Day. Your debt just went way up, mister!" she claimed.

"Why am I not surprised, witch?" Zoro sighed, running his fingers through his hair.

"But..." she added. "I also won't forget that you're spending your first valentine with me..." she got closer to him, smiling. "And that you want to do it."

"Well, yeah." he admitted lazily, yawning. "I want to spend the day with the person I love. That can't be so shocking, it's like any other da- Ouch! What was that for?"

"You can't say the 'L' word just like that, you moron!" she yelled, mad at his lack of sensibility.

"Oh, yeah? Watch me." he smirked, pulling her closer. "I love you."

A weird mixture of feelings were up next, and Nami was so overwhelmed by all those emotions that she didn't quite know how to react. Her eyes looked like she was about to cry from happiness, but she would never be such a drama queen, she was too tough for that. Instead, she chose to just smile and reply to him.

"I love you too."

And as the kiss proceeded, a beautiful blue eye disappeared from the ceiling, leaving behind a couple of petals where it was. Outside the room, Robin smiled to herself, as her captain looked at her curiously.

"Robin, something wrong?" Luffy asked, confused at her sudden display of emotions.

"Everything's fine, captain-san." she assured him. "Although I believe I won't be able to sleep in my bed tonight..."

"Why?"

"Well, wouldn't that be awkward?" she chuckled as she left the spot.


AN: Shrink!Robin FTW. I'm surprised nobody did a story with Robin as a shrink. She always knows the correct thing to say. xD
