Chapter 3: How it all Began
Location: One piece College/University - history room
(After college hours)
Robin was marking Zoro's latest work as he waited for his results. They have done this for about 3 weeks now, because Zoro had always had trouble with understanding history, after he had failed a simple quiz. As Robin asked him to stay behind and asked if he's having any problems whatsoever, he simply replied that history wasn't really his thing and that he didn't understand what it was all about. Of course this sparked Robin's interest, and she suggested that they have a one on one intuition. He did look hesitant at first, but agreed to have her as his tutor, i mean come on what's better than having your hot history teacher hanging around you.
Through the past week they did get to know each other a little better, now they are on a first name basis. They even shared their interest's such as Zoro's interested in swordsmanship, training with lot's of heavy weights to test his strength, which explains the muscles, taking naps and drinking sake. While Robin like's to read, drink coffee, study archaeology, read and teach history which basically explains the knowledge. Zoro even explained to her why he was held back and what he wanted to do, such as be the greatest swordsman, while Robin wants to find the Rio poneglyphs and discover the True history.
They have also gotten used to the others presence and is very comfortable being around each other. They always give each other glances in class or after class. They even touch each other willingly, and both can't help but wonder how fast their relationship has gotten after 3 weeks. They act more like friends than teacher and student. Zoro know's that his friends have noticed how much happier he's been, ever since meeting Robin. Both of them couldn't describe the electrical pull they felt when they first touched, but they both know that it means there's something between them either it being something in common or something more, they don't know. All they know is that they like being in each other's company and that they are both attracted to each other. They are also both aware of the other's feelings, but just won't say it or even mention it.
"Not bad Zoro just a couple of mistakes, such as confusing question 2 with question 5, but we'll work on that" said Robin getting out of her seat and passing the paper she marked in front of him. She stood behind him and explained the mistakes carefully to him so he understood, they were both fully aware of the electrical current between them was there and they just couldn't help but get closer together.
"Okay, i will make sure i won't mess that up again" Zoro replied, determined to pass her subject to make her happy. He didn't know why, but he was finding himself wanting to please Robin any way possible.
He looked over his shoulder at Robin to see, she was looking back at him. Their eyes lock and they notice that the electrical current pulsing between them start pulling them closer together. Robin leans down hovering over Zoro's face, and Zoro can feel her breath fanning out over his face, warming him up outside and on the inside. They both close their eyes and he finally stretches his neck out a bit to close those last few millimetres between them, and finally kiss her.
It felt strange at first but once they got into it, they started to kiss deeper. Zoro felt brave enough to trace her lips with his tongue as if asking for entrance. Robin feels Zoro's tongue probing her lips and let's him enter her mouth. They both moan at the feel and taste of each other, Zoro tasting coffee and a hint of sweetness, while Robin tastes sweet sake and Zoro's masculine taste. It was starting to turn each other on. Robin brings her arms around Zoro's neck as he stood up from his seat, and lightly gripped his hair pulling him closer into the kiss. Zoro wraps his arms around her waist and if possible pulls her closer and pushes her against the desk just behind her.
Neither of them wanted to stop their steamy make-out session, but the need for air caused them to break apart. They were both breathing heavily and they both noticed the similar red stain across the other's cheeks.
Zoro traced a finger against her cheek and gave her a grin "I've always wanted to do that."
Robin smiled, not her usual mysterious smile, a proper smile. She was very surprised how in just a short time that this young man can change her cool and collected demeanor; just by getting to know her over a week. "Me too. WHat took you so long?"
"I didn't know whether you would like me in that way, but now i know and i'm quite happy" Zoro hugged her closer to him and kissed her cheek.
"Fufufu, i've always liked you Zoro, ever since i first saw you in my class." She placed her forehead against his and looked deeply into his eyes.
"I've always liked you too, i know that this is fast and we haven't known each other long but we do know a little about each other...What i'm trying to say is would you like to be my girlfriend?, even though you're my teacher and i'm your student, i just don't care. I feel that we have lot's in common and we could work if we spend more time together. What do you say?. I'll understand if you don't want to."
She began to have a thinking look on her face, and after a moment she smiled and kissed him quickly, "Of course i would be your girlfriend, but we have to keep it quiet for a while. Besides i would like to get to know you as well. Just do me one favor…"
"What's that?" he raised an eyebrow questionably.
"On dates you have to take me to places i like or you may think i might like." she hugged him close, and rubbed her face into his shoulder.
"Hahaha you're my kind of woman. Coffee house and a nice dinner for our first date it is then"
Robin pulled back out of his arms and walked over to her desk and finding a piece of paper and pen wrote her address on it, and gave it to him. "Pick me up at 6" she winked at him and grabbed her bag and jacket and left towards the exit of the college, leaving Zoro flabbergasted.
As soon as Robin reached her car she heard a faint shout sounding like Zoro's voice saying 'Yeah!', she smiled and got into her car and drove herself home to get ready for her date with a certain handsome, young green haired swordsman. She could hardly believe what happened and she felt tingly all over. That kiss was everything to her, she literally felt fireworks go off when their lips connected for the first time. She was so happy.
As Zoro got into his apartment, he immediately looked at the clock on the wall which read 4pm. He had about two hours until their date so he decided to do a little training for an hour. All the way through his training he couldn't help but think that he was a lucky guy, to start going out with a young hot woman such as Robin, he couldn't stop smiling.
After his hour was up he spent about 15 minutes in the shower and putting on some casual clothing, but keeping the black pants and boots but changing the shirt to an open yellow jacket, but with a blue undershirt on. He might as well put effort into his first date with her. He rechecked the address she gave him and realised that they were closer than he thought. So he got up and left the apartment at 5.25pm, he shouldn't be late on the first date.
He made it to her house just on time, with a couple wrong turns here and there, seriously who came up with these roads they keep moving. He walked up to her front door and rang the doorbell, he only waited for a minute until the door finally open to reveal Robin. He just stared wide eyed at her, because she literally took his breath away. She was wearing a leather dress that came mid thigh and showed quite a bit of cleavage and long black leather boots that come above the knee. She looked stunning but casual at the same time.
"You made it on time, i was surprised, i've heard of your poor sense of direction" Robin smiled that smile that Zoro was starting to love.
He frowned and said "I don't have a bad sense of direction, you must have heard wrong."
Robin just smiled and walked out her house and locked the door. She turned to Zoro and said "Ready to go?"
He just nodded and then they set off down the street hand in hand, looking for a decent restaurant to eat in. They found one not too far along, it was decent, nice and quiet. Just perfect for them. They quickly entered and got a table near the back that was secluded and private, just how they wanted it. They ordered their food and started talking. Just casual talk, so they get to know each other better. Zoro explaining that he is an orphan and that he lives alone, and that when he was a young boy he used to visit a dojo to practice using three-sword style. He also explained that he used to be good friends with his sensei's daughter, Kuina, and that they made a promise to each other, but she died so he's carrying on that promise for her with her old sword wado ichimonji.
Robin felt sorry for Zoro because he had to relive that memory to her, but she felt grateful because they were becoming closer. So she returned the favor by explaining to him that she used to live on the streets since she was eight, because her mother died and she had nowhere else to go. She also said that she did terrible things until she got money to provide for herself and buy a home and get a good paying job. But she had to do what she had to survive.
Zoro realised that she was really upset about what happened back then and took her hand in his, saying that he will protect her and that she doesn't need to worry. She smiled, overjoyed that he accepted her after she revealed her past to him, and pulled him into her and gave him a deep kiss. They both pulled away and said in unison that they were glad that they met each other. They laughed and carried on talking about casual things, until their food arrived and they ate in perfect silence. Not the awkward silence, but the comfortable silence and each other's company.
After they finished eating and Zoro payed for their meal, they left the restaurant happily in hand and hand. Robin looked at her watch and saw that it was 7.45pm, they had plenty of time left to do something else. Just then she spotted a nice little cafe and asked if Zoro wanted to have coffee with her before the dates end. He agreed because he also didn't want the date to end just yet. They entered the little cafe and chose a booth near the back.
"So how's the date so far?" asked Zoro grinning at Robin opposite him.
She smiled back at him and said "Great, perfect in fact, i couldn't ask for anything better."
Just then the waitress came over ready to take their orders, "Hi what can i get you?"
"Can i just get a normal coffee but black and with two sugars please" asked Robin smiling at the young girl who appeared to be about in her early 20's.
The waitress wrote down the order on her notepad and turned to Zoro, finally catching a good look at him and apparently liking what she's seeing. "And what can i get you handsome?" the young girl cooed.
Robin noticeably scowled at the young girls response to her boyfriend. Zoro just replied saying that he wanted the same as Robin. The young girl giggled and wrote it down and said she would be back with their drinks.
Zoro noticed that his girlfriend was scowling and asked "What?"
"That girl was just flirting with you and you didn't even notice." came the reply.
"Really? she flirted with me? Why?"
Robin couldn't believe her boyfriend was that clueless that he was oblivious to other girls flirting with him. "Yes she just flirted with you right in front of me. You really didn't notice?"
"Look i only have eyes for you. You don't need to get jealous or mad that another girls flirting with me as long as you know i'm yours"
Robin couldn't believe the sweet talk that was coming from her usually grumpy, tough guy boyfriend. She was so happy that she leaned over the table and captured Zoro's lips in a sweet kiss. The girl from before came back with their drinks and placed the tray on the table as they broke apart. They thanked her and she left with a scowl, which was directed at Robin, on her face.
They talked and drank their drinks and talked the whole time, whilst holding each other's hands under the table. As they were about to pay Robin insisted that she pay the bill because Zoro payed for the rest, but Zoro being the man wanted to pay for it. So they came to an agreement that they will pay 50/50. They left and Zoro walked Robin back home still holding her hand in his. As they reached her front door they looked each other in the eyes and kissed, they deepened it for a moment or two and broke apart.
"Goodnight" Robin said pecking Zoro on the lips and unlocking her door.
"Goodnight see you later" came his reply as he turned to go and as she shut her front door. They both breathed a sigh of satisfaction and both grinned happily, their first date a success. I guess tutoring really was the beginning of their relationship, gotta love it was Zoro's thought.
