After ken had left everybody else were feeling awkward for what just happened.
Nobody had dared say a word; somebody had to break the silence.
Robin looked up at the disappearing sun, " Its getting dark…"
Zoro turned to her and looked up , " Yeah I guess…."
Ken's mother looked up and smiled suddenly, " Well come on in….before it gets dark,"
Zoro looked at her oddly… she just smiled like nothing bad had happened at all…. Huh
But the crew didn't want to be told twice so they went inside the house.
Zoro looked around as he went inside… it was a good conditioned house it smelled like apple cinnamon… it was very refreshing.
He looked at the furniture; there were a couple of sofas a centerpiece a bookshelf and a grandfather clock at the left far corner.
There was quite a collection of old antics witch seemed to only interest Robin really…
Zoro sighed as Robin approached the mirrored case of antics; he had never really found an interest in antics.
Ken's mother closed the door lightly as everybody stepped inside, " Please make yourself feel at home,"
Zoro looked at her…. Why would that guy want to leave when he's got a kind mother…..
Sanji looked at the kitchen immediately, " Ma'am if you want I'll be more than happy to help you make dinner,"
But Ken's mom didn't listen to Sanji she was busy looking at Chopper, " …. Are you a reindeer,"
Chopper looked annoyed, "………….."
Nami decided to do something before Chopper starts yelling, " So… what exactly is that miss," she said pointing at a gem on top of the countertop of the living room.
Ken's mom looks at Nami to see what she's talking about, " Ah.. that belonged to my grandpa he was a diamond forger… he had a little business for a while right here in Domaisly, before he passed away,".
Nami looked back at the gem with interest, that's when Luffy turned to her and blurted out, " Nami… don't think about stealing it,".
Nami immediately placed her hand on Luffy's mouth and forced a nervous laugh as Ken's mother looked at her confused, " Hah ha…. What are you talking about…. Stealing I never…. Steal,".
" Hami your furting me," muffled Luffy as Nami forced her hand harder on Luffy's face.
Ken's mom was now paying attention to Sanji as he asked to help make dinner.
Then Nami let go of Luffy and whispered to his ear, " If you say something like that out loud again I'll kill you… If you make any stupid comments I'll kill you,".
Luffy looked at her confused, " But aren't you a thief,"
Zoro walked towards a big set of medals and awards at a wooded shelf and read them out loud.
" This is awarded to Major Kenshin Kutosaki for excellence of leadership,"
Zoro looked at the other awards… most were for him… although there was a couple awards who were given for someone named Isgrant Kensin….
" Who could that be …," wondered Zoro looking at an award that was his.
" …. Zoro what are you looking at," said a voice behind him.
He turned to see Ussop looking at his gaze.
" Ah.. its nothing just looking around," said Zoro not looking at the awards anymore, but to his friends.
Ussop looked at him gloomily, " Oh….."
Ussop looked pretty pale and Zoro noticed this, so he tried to find out what was wrong.
" Hey Ussop… something bothering you," asked Zoro looking at Ussop worriedly.
Now that Zoro looked at Ussop even closer he didn't look good at all.
Ussop looked down for a while then muttered something
" Is it true….."
Zoro looked at Ussop even harder, " What speak up a bit… I can't hear you really good,".
Ussop swallowed hard still looking down then said with his lips a bit dry, " I said…. Is it true….,"
Zoro looked at Ussop puzzled, " Is it true..? What do you mean Ussop… what's true."
Ussop finally looked up at Zoro now, " Is it true… what that Ken guy said…am I just a sharpshooter… and…. Am …. I… a coward?"
Zoro looked at Ussop now clearly, " Ah… is that's what's bothering you… don't sweet it… he doesn't know what he was saying,"
Ussop didn't leave his previous state, " But… am I a coward though…. Do I always run away…,"
Zoro sighed and looked at Ussop, " Ussop… you aren't a coward…. You have helped us a lot,"
Ussop looked at Zoro, " I have….. how…?"
Zoro thought about it, " Well… you've … um… you have made Nami's weapon… and you are the one who drew our flag," .
Ussop gave a small proud smile, " I did? …. I did didn't I,".
Zoro nodded, " Yeah so don't worry about anything… your just fine."
Ussop's smile widened, " Yeah your right… I the great Ussop will always be needed in your crew,"
He turned back to were Chopper and Luffy were messing with each other, " Hey Chopper you know a long time ago I used to be the best in that game… why I recall never losing…. Nobody would ever be able to pin me to the ground,".
Zoro rolled his eyes in annoyance, " Yeah… that's the old Ussop alright,".
He turned to were the antics were and Robin wasn't there, he turned and saw Robin on the sofa with a small book.
He walked towards her and tried to make out the title of the book, but there wasn't a title,".
Robin already sensing someone was behind her smiled, " What are you doing Zoro,".
He looked at the book then at her, " Nothing…," .
Robin shrugged, and continued reading.
Zoro again tried to see a title but there was again nothing.
Robin wasn't reading really she was just waiting to see what Zoro was trying to do.
" Zoro… are you sure your doing anything,".
Zoro looked at the book and said nothing.
Robin finally turned to him and saw his glance at the book.
" Zoro… do you want to read it," asked Robin closing the book and waiving it.
Zoro gave a stubborn look, " No,"
" Do you want to know what its called ?"
" No,"
" Do you need anything, then?"
" NO,"
Robin looked at him puzzled now, either he liked being stubborn or he liked teasing her.
Zoro looked at the book again and finally found a title at the very top left side of the cover it read "Philosophy of Rio Poneglyph Vo. III".
Zoro wondered were he heard Rio Poneglyph before….
Robin smiled at Zoro's stubbornness… " Zoro… come sit over here,"
Zoro looked around there was only one seat left and that was used by Ussop who was telling Luffy and Chopper his so called " adventures stories".
So the only seat that was there was the one Robin was sitting on….
So Zoro decided to sit on the ground next to her, when Robin knew what he was going to do she said, " No.. don't sit on the ground…,"
Zoro looked confused now, " … Where should I sit then,".
Robin raised her eyebrows smiling, " We can share this seat…. Can't we," added Robin with a sly smile.
Zoro flushed a bit, and then closed his eyes, " Fine… scoot over," he said trying to sound casual.
As Zoro sat Robin got up a bit then rested on his lap and relaxed her head on his shoulder.
As soon as that happened Luffy, Chopper, Ussop, and Sanji gave the two couple a startled look.
Zoro looked back at them, " What"
Silence……………….
" Are… you two….. uh… together," muttered Ussop.
" ………..," Chopper looked down without saying a word.
Sanji who was in the kitchen making dinner unbelievably did not say a word….. although muttered something about "Robin wants him" and " I need a pack of cigarettes"
Luffy just smiled, that was his way of doing things most of the time.
Nami who was talking with the little girl Carine smiled at the two and was glad they had finally expressed themselves.
Ussop who looked intrigued asked the couple some questions….and every time Zoro and Robin would say together the same answer for ussop's questions….
" Does this mean you two are-
" Yes"
" So do two feel great about thi-
" Yes"
" And…. Are you two going too……….
"…………….NO"

Robin looked at Zoro now in wonder as they stood there on the bedroom in silence.
Finally the question she wanted to ask him way long before they went to that Pub had been answered.
Their feelings for each other was now finally settled.
They just looked at each other with very tense looks.
Zoro finally approached her and grabbed her waist and kissed her deeply.
Robin was not sure if she was ready for this, but she could not wait any longer herself.
She wrapped her arms around him and slowly removed his shirt.
Zoro rubbed his thumbs around her waist and pulled up her shirt and he slowly pulled her down.
Still kissing each other deeply Robin felt his bare shoulders and enjoyed every second of it.
Zoro put his arms around Robin's upper shoulders and slowly rubbed Robin's bra and finally he pressed on the elastic latch and released it.
