Just a few more chapters to go. It's still their fourth day, and the story will end on the night of their fifth day. I'm sorry that this is a very short chapter, the fluorescent light bulbs in my office kept on flickering that we have decided to call it a Haunted Office out of fun.

I hope you'll stick to 5 Days until the big ending. Again thank you for reading/reviewing/following/favoriting *cross out any that is not relevant

Favourite part of the latest chapter (OP 686). Zoro's comment, "I'd love it if they slip in snow, hit their heads and died," reminds me so much of morbid Robin. Hahaha.

Chapter Twenty One
I Never Learn Why

Have you ever been so filled with warmth, rainy days, chocolates and all the wonderful feelings in the world, that your heart fails to make space for all the bad ones that counters the good ones, and eventually you forgot to think of the consequences and how you might screw everything up, which is probably as important as those wonderful feelings?

Robin did.

"You're sleepy, Zoro."

"I'm not sleepy." But he rubbed his eye twice already. Neither caffeine nor booze seemed to help.

"You never change."

"What do you mean?"

"You'd rather keep me company, do you?"

"The only time I could spend with you anyway. I can sleep some other time."

"The only time? Oh, yes. I forgot we're going back tomorrow."

"I don't want to go back."

"Where will you be staying? Where were you staying?"

"Meh. At Sanji's."

"Fufufufu. Good friends now, aren't you two?"

"Tch. Can't stand him. But I'd rather stay with him anyways, than the rest. I'd stay with Luffy, but-"

"Nami is there." Smile. "Ah, young love."

"Luffy in love is weird and freaky and impossible and just plain weird!"

"Aww, I think he's adorable like that. Have they done it, though?"

He paused in confusion, and in five seconds, he threw her a disgusted expression. "Ew! Robin! That's not something you can talk about!"

"Why not? I thought Luffy might have said something about it to you?"

"I respect goofy Luffy, even if he's too childish sometimes. But we don't talk about things like that! I mean, guys like Sanji, sure. But not Luffy. That's just disgusting, Robin. Disgusting."

"Alright, Zoro. Calm down now." Truthfully, she was amused with his reaction.

"Thanks for ruining my appetite, Robin."

"I'm sorry. You're going back to Sanji's then?"

"Probably. Yeah. Why?"

"You could stay with me. My apartment is empty. I'm alone."

Zoro smiled slyly. "So I'll stay at home, while you go to work? I'll be the – what is it called – house-husband?"

"Fufufufu! You're so funny, Zoro."

"Well, okay. Do I get paid to stay at home?"

"What do you want? I'll buy you anything."

"Oh no. Not something that can be bought."

"What's on your mind?"

A good, teasing smile.

Replied with a surprised smile. "How naughty!"

"I'm sorry." Long sigh. "Robin, Robin, Robin. Nico Robin."

"What?"

"Nothing. It's just that I like saying your name."

"Okay, Roronoa Zoro."

"I don't wanna go back. Staying here with you is like heaven. No interruptions. No work. No nothing. Just you and a bunch of stupid feelings people feel when they're with someone they like. You know."
