Chapter 9: Best Christmas so far

Zoro was overjoyed this year. He not only found the woman of his dreams and finally passed college, but he was going to spend his first christmas with like his friends they were going to spend their holiday with their sweet hearts. Which means that they will be alone for a while. He can't wait.

A few months ago he and Robin admitted their feelings to each other and their relationship just gotten so much better since then. Not only about him moving in with her but plans for the future as well. But there is also a problem in the road about christmas...he didn't know what to get her. He knows mostly everything about her but just doesn't know what to buy her. He was standing in the huge shopping centre and for once he was lost on where to go.

He knew Robin refitted the whole basement and decorated it to make it his own personal gym for christmas, he was happy about it and knew that there was a 'secret' gift too. He couldn't wait. But he wanted to give her something special that would make them stronger. There was also another problem...it was christmas eve and he better work fast. So he aimlessly wandered around the stores until he came across a jewellery store. Then it clicked. He knew just what to get her.

He entered the store and asked the shop attendant for advice for a certain piece of jewellery that he could buy for his girlfriend. That wasn't too cheap and wasn't too dear, but just in his budget. She showed him different pieces of jewellery that was necklaces, rings or bracelets but they all didn't seem right. Until he came across a certain ring. The band was silver and on the ring was a certain blue gem that shined. It was a nice light aqua blue. It seemed familiar to him till he realised that the gem looked like the exact same colour as her eyes. It was perfect. It was also in his price range.

He told the attendant that he wanted that specific ring and she said that it was an engagement ring. He told her that it was even better and his special gift to his girlfriend was sure to make her happy. He had it specially wrapped and hid it in his pocket till he got home.

Once at home he was immediately greeted by a warm hug and a passionate kiss to the lips.

"Your home late…" chided his girlfriend still holding him in her embrace. He arched an eyebrow and looked at the clock on the wall, it read 6:45. He was home pretty late and Robin must have waited for him to come home to start dinner.

"Sorry got caught up with stuff" he lied but he didn't want to give away that he secretly was getting her a present.

She obviously forgave him as long as he gives her a special treat later on tonight. He just gave her a big grin and quickly agreed to the idea. After he put his stuff away and hid the present in his bedside, where Robin never goes, he went back downstairs and took a nap while Robin got started on dinner.

Once they've eaten and settled down to watch a few movies together they got tired and went to bed. Of course they didn't forget to have their special treat. Once christmas morning came round Robin awoke early and of course woke Zoro up. They went down stairs to open their gifts from their friends and of course Zoro remembered his gift to Robin and hid it in his pants pocket. Robin got mostly books from Chopper, Brook, Franky and most of the others. Nami, Vivi and Kaya got Robin jewellery, clothes and make-up. Zoro got cleaning supplies from everyone, Nami took some money off his debt, but not a lot and Sanji got him a map and a book that said an 'idiots guide for directions'. Bastard.

Zoro then thought it was time to give her his present. He took it out of his pocket and handed it over to her, she arched an eyebrow, obviously she wasn't expecting to get anything from him. But she shrugged and unwrapped it. As soon as she opened the box and saw the engagement ring she froze, and her eyes went wide. She looked at her other half shockingly and Zoro took the ring from the box and went on one knee in front of her. He heard her breath hitch.

He took a deep breath, here it goes "Robin, you're the love of my life, the woman of my dreams and i want to spend the rest of my life with you. To make you happy and to make you smile. So Nico Robin, will you marry me?" he obviously rehearsed that speech in his head.

Robin didn't say or do anything for what seemed like hours but only 30 seconds. She started to cry and Zoro thought that he made a mistake proposing to her until she jumped on him and gave him a very heartwarming passionate kiss. She kept chanting 'yes' over and over again.

Zoro and Robin couldn't stop smiling because they knew that they were engaged and soon to be married. "Thank you Zoro. You've made my life better ever since i've met you. So do you want your 'surprise present' now?" asked Robin with a seductive smile. Zoro gulped and scooped her up in his arms and carried her bridal style to their bedroom. And they both thought the same thought Best christmas so far…

So what do you think. I hope you enjoyed and sorry that it wasn't long and there was hardly any speech in it, but i have started to make chapter 9 called troublemakers and i will give you a short preview of it. Here it is:

Chapter 9: Troublemakers…

"You are in so much trouble when your mother hears about this…" came the voice of Zero's father. At the moment they were outside of a forest nearby the town they lived in. Zero was trying not to make eye contact with his father, he knew he was in trouble but he wasn't the only one. Ace, Ren and Yuuta were all in trouble as well. So far the only people there was the four boys and their respectful fathers. They didn't look impressed. Luffy was telling Ace how Nami would take away their meat supply once they get home, and of course Ace was freaking out shouting 'NO!'.

Sanji was trying to be the best father and giving Ren a lecture about never doing this sort of thing again, while Usopp was trying to be brave and give his only son, who was normally well behaved, a suitable punishment. And failing miserably. Zoro was obviously threatening Zero with the threat of his mother. Once Robin finds out anything happened to her children she becomes way too concerned, overprotective and quite strict. While Zoro just let her get on with it.

Well let's take this story back to a few days ago…

That was it and i'm not sure when it will be posted because i'm still working on it and the plot of the chapter but that's what i've got so far. Please leave a review and tell me what you think, and again sorry for the delay of chapters. This is Wolf signing off :)
