Zoro felt all dark inside, he forced his eyelids to open and bright light came to place.

Everything was foggy for a couple of seconds, then his vision slowly sharpened and glance at the ceiling.

He gave a small sigh then shook his head down to see he was lying on his bed.

He slowly forced himself to sit up on his bed and looked around.

It was quiet and nobody was around,he gave out a loud yawn by opening his mouth as far as he could.

He tried to recall what had happened that caused him to be on his bed.

He slowly remembered how he and Paulie went to the bar, then both got sick bad and he collapsed at the hallway of the ship.

He gave a frown at himself, he got sick...he should have no reason to have gotten sick.

Because of his stupid actions he let himself go and the result of this was in front of him.

He tried recalling why he drank so much... he remembered it was because he had a problem on his mind.

But what was it...

Suddenly the door opened showing Robin come in with a bowl in her hands.

Zoro's question was answered... the reason he got so drunk was because...because of her.

" I see your awake Mr. Swordsman," said Robin with her usual smile.

Zoro gave her half a smile, but couldn't help but ask, " What are you doing here?"

Robin didn't mind his question, he always talked like that to someone like her, " Nobody knows about what happened to you except me and Mr. Doctor...so I decided to Cook you a healthy stew in liege of Mr. Cook."

She walked towards him and handed him the bowl, " It might not be as good as Mr. Cook's cooking...but I'm sure its fine".

Zoro accepted the bowl and nodded in thanks and slowly stirred the stew then placed his spoon to his mouth.

He felt the tender juices of chicken bra and vegetables fill his throat and he cleared his mouth in pleasure, " Its really good...thanks".

He quickened his eating pace as his stomach rumbled in hunger, " Hey...how long was I out for?"

Robin got a chair and sat across from his bed, " Just a couple of hours...".

" Hmm,"Zoro responded, it was odd he felt like it was only a minute that he passed out for.

" So...the others don't know what happened?" asked Zoro putting his finished bowl in his lap.

She crossed her hands on her chest, " No... not yet."

Zoro attempted to sit across the bed, " Don't tell them."

Robin gave him a look of confusion, " Why not?"

Zoro looked down at the ground, " If they knew...their first mate was out done by an alcohol beverage...they would have nobody to look up to than Luffy."

" Look up to you?" said Robin puzzled.

Zoro nodded, " I'm not stupid I know back at Enies Lobby or before we got there...I was asked for help, Nami, Chooper, even...that shitty cook," said Zoro with a small laugh.

" If they knew about today, Luffy would be the only one to look to... I don't want to give him all that burden...he's my captain," spoke Zoro softly.

" So...you understand what I'm asking from you...Robin?" Asked Zoro looking up at her.

She gave him a smile, " Sure...not a word."

Zoro let out a sigh of relive, " Good...thanks."

Their was silence for a while before anybody spoke.

" How...did I get up here?" asked Zoro finally after a while.

Robin made one of her hands multiply with arms, " I used my powers."

" Wait...you helped me?" Asked Zoro surprised.

He thought maybe Chopper might have picked him up in his human form or something...but Robin?

She nodded, " Wasn't easy, but I brought you up here."

" You should have just let me where I was." spoke Zoro bitterly.

" I don't deserve to be given the burden of first mate," said Zoro pissed with himself.

Suddenly a hand touched his shoulder...it wasn't Robin's Hana Hana hands... it was her own.

" Mr. Swordsman...you're a good first mate, you always do help us and for that we're grateful," she said softly.

Zoro felt a bit uncomfortable for some reason, " What makes you say that?"

" You have helped us all in the past...even me." Replied Robin letting go of him.

"Actually... I never helped you," said Zoro.

Robin chuckled at the man's bad memories, " Yes you have."

He shock his head, " Hmm... no not really."

She gave him a teasing smile, " Why Mr. Swordsman... you helped me just earlier today."

Zoro gulped, " That was a needed cause Robin."

She gave him a side look glance, " I don't think it was."

"Whatever," said Zoro angry trying to get up from his bed.

Robin placed two of her Hana hana arms on Zoro's shoulder, " You can't get up Doctor's Orders."

Zoro gave her an angry growl, " come let me up..."

She shook her head, " Doctor's orders."

Zoro decided to give up then, he wasn't 100 percentgood and only fighting off Robin's hands would make him even more tired amd fatigue.

He sat back down looking pitifull .

" I can't believe I got sick," frowned Zoro.

"It's okay Mr. Swordsman we all get sick that's part of what makes us normal," replied Robin with a smile.

" Well I can't be normal," he said forcing himself to get up from his bed.

Robin gave him a soft glance, " Mr. Swordsman don't try to grow up too fast."

Zoro lips curled, " But I AM grown up."

He stood before Robin straight and firm.

Robin had a weird feeling the way he looked at her.

" Please don't look at me like that Mr. Swordsman...its uncomfortable." she said backing up from him.

After she said that he knew exactly what she felt, that made him even more daring.

" I'm sorry," he said reaching for her face.

Robin gave a small gasp of how close he was from her.

She didn't move she just felt his breath getting close.

He place one of his hands on her left side of her face, then curled it to her lips.

Everything went so fast for her at that moment.

Zoro was getting close, he could see his reflection from her dark blue eyes.

Suddenly he felt a pain on his shoulder and then on his waist, the effects of his sickness got the best of him and he collapsed to the ground.

Damn not now... not when I was so close thought Zoro angry and embarrassed with himself.

Robin helped him up and used her powers to help him on his bed.

Then she placed a blanket over him and took the bowl on her hands.

She gave a small smile towards the swordsmen who was avoiding his glance with embarrassment.

Then she slowly placed her head on his left ear and spoke softly, " I don't like little boys... but your still very sweet."

" Bullshit," said Zoro angry the way Robin was taking advantage of the current moment.

She laughed in his ear, it made him tickle a bit, " You can do better Mr. Swordsman."

She then bent down and and kissed his forehead in a childish way as her chest exposed a bit.

Thats it thought Zoro angrily as he took all the strength he could muster to grab her and pull her towards him.

She gasped at his sudden strength as he rolled over making Robin lie down on the bed and him on top.

" Some little boy huh," asked Zoro reaching for her.

She closed her eyes and held his head as he kissed her neck, " Maybe not a little boy...".

She then gave him frown, " Mr. Swordsmen you and me I don't know...I feel a bit weird...a bit dirty."

"Robin your only making this better," warned Zoro kissing her lips.
