The Three Love Style
Chapter 6: The First Date (part 1)
Hi guys~! Thanks so much for reading this far! TuT You guys surprised me with 2000+ views! SUGOOIIIIII! *O* Thankyou so much! *bows* I'm so sorry for the late update! Things went soooo busy :( hopefully this chapter makes up for it! ;-; it's longer than usual! OuO
Anyway there's one more couple than ZoroxRobin~! ohohohoho~! ;D
Zoro slowly raised his eyes, then quickly sheltered it with his palm from the stinging sunshine. It was not long until he realised that something was warm, and was breathing down his neck.
It was Robin. Her silky long strands of her hair laid across his broad shoulders. Her fair face was so bright and sparkly. She rested comfortably, snoozing on his fine, firm chest. She grabbed his white shirt and buried it in her face.
"..."
Zoro was dumbfounded. How did she end up on his body? He had no idea! But that didn't matter now, his cheeks burnt and then he relaxed a little. He always felt as ease when he's by her side.
Okay, he know he likes her. But what does that really mean? She's his friend but, he knows he doesn't treat Nami or any other crew-mate the same way.
It's so weird, this feeling. He was attracted to this very person. Her calm personality, smile, smell and her intelligence. Plus, because of her he knew he acted strangely.
He never felt the impulse to hug, to care or felt so eager to touch someone so desperately. He was hungry for her. Zoro haven't seen her for very long, but he missed her. He also felt very self-conscious every time Robin laid her eyes on him, as if he was casted under her spell.
After minutes of contemplating, he realised a very important thing. She was the person that meant most to him, and he treasured her.
Robin was so soft and warm. Zoro had let go of his restraints and wrapped his arms around her curvaceous waist. She was just so perfect. She had to belong to him, Zoro thought. He pulled her to his body tighter, consuming her body heat.
This woke up Robin. She immediately notices Zoro's strong grasp. But she didn't want him to know that she's awake since he will immediately let her go. So she pretended to be asleep, as she closed her fluttery thick eyelashes.
She enjoyed the hug, Zoro was just soothing and secure. The embrace made her feel cozy, and warmth had also welled up inside her. She desired his touch as much as he did. Well, she desired him the most.
For a moment she allowed herself to open her eyes to see her surroundings. Good, it was still early in the morning. No one is awake yet.
Lids closed again, she clumsily turned her side, and slid her arms around his firm waist. Her very fingers felt his well sculpted body through his crumpled shirt.
Zoro was not suspicious that Robin is awake yet, but blushed. She was clinging to him now. She just looked so adorable.
Robin started to feel her hair caressed by Zoro's gentle fingers. As if she was delicate as glass. She hugged him even tighter, which reddened Zoro's face even more.
Robin finally decided to let him know that she's awake now.
"You know we're landing today" said Robin.
Zoro was startled.
He thought "When she was awake? Did she think I'm being a pervert? Now I have to let go of her!".
Zoro was about to detach his arms, but Robin stopped him.
"No, it's alright. I like this too" Robin said quietly "Let's stay like this a little longer".
Zoro nodded and relaxed. There was a fleeting silence.
"Today's our date huh?" Zoro spoke.
"Yes" Robin blushed "Have you ever dated before?"
"Nope" replied Zoro, but then he smiled "My first one is with you though."
Few hours later...
"Everyone! We landed!" Luffy shouted.
"Ohhhhh. What's this? A festival?" Luffy jumped around excited.
"Wait Luffy" said Nami "First we need to unpack our belongings since we're staying by a hotel for the night".
"Ussop! Since we're at a festival, we're having fun! So look after Luffy and Chopper for me!" Nami ordered.
"Ehhh me?" Ussop said in dismay "How about Sanji?".
"Well he's shopping for groceries with me!" Nami answered.
"Really? Nami-swan?" Sanji lit up, his nostrils flared and pulling on a cheesy grin.
"Yes! Yes" Nami answered, a little irritated.
Then Nami whispered something into Ussop's ear, grinned and left with the swooning Sanji.
"Well then, see ya guys at night!" Ussop called, "Meet up at this hotel!" he said as he pointed at the address of the blue card he handed to Robin.
"Thanks Mr. Long Nose" Robin smiled "Let's go, Zoro-kun".
Ussop and Zoro blushed at her words.
"Well I have to go now!" Ussop said as he scurried off to Luffy and Chopper.
Zoro and Robin was now left alone in the crowd.
"So what do we do for a date?" Zoro asked.
Robin beamed, "Well, we just have fun!".
"Fun?" asked Zoro, the only thing he thought was fun is having a good sip of his mouth-watering sake.
"Oh!" Robin said, "Zoro can you get me that stuffed toy?" she pointed over towards a shooting stand, which displayed some prizes.
"Stuffed toy?" Zoro asked.
"Yes! I find it cute" Robin said bluntly.
She pointed at a fluffy green ball with a grumpy face.
"That reminds me of someone I know", Robin giggled.
Zoro took a good look at the toy, it didn't remind him of anything.
"Oi Mister! Give me a try!" Zoro called to the man behind the counter.
"Awww a lovey-dovey couple is here!" the man grinned which his curly grey mustache bounced.
"Oi, shut up" Zoro frowned, but he blushed a little.
The man still grinned with his flashy white teeth, "Here, there are three bullets, if you can shoot this toy, you can have it."
"Okay, let's do it" Zoro said in a serious tone.
The man sweat-dropped at his conviction.
Zoro steadied the plastic gun in his hands, and carefully took aim.
Robin stood beside him, watching him in that pose, she flushed... She thought he was so cool until...
"Second shot is missed!" the man, commentated.
"Where's Ussop when you need him" Zoro grunted as he eyed the green toy. "I want YOU to get it for me" Robin said wickedly.
Zoro turned pink, but returned to focus. "To make her happy" he thought.
Robin waited suspensely for the last shot as Zoro positioned his gun in different angles.
"..."
"Ping!" The plastic bullet had hit the toy on the eye.
"Got it!" Zoro said, relieved.
"Congrats! The man smiled cheerfully as he gave Robin the grumpy green toy.
"The toy really looks like you, young man!"
"It looks nothing like me!" Zoro snapped.
Robin giggled. She cuddled the stuffed toy to her chest and gave a geniune smile which warmed his insides.
Zoro returned his smile, and then found the man staring at them while wearing a cheeky grin.
Zoro blushed, and left the booth adruptedly, pushing Robin along.
"... Ahhhhh youth" the booth-man, said to himself dreamily as he watched the couple from afar.
Zoro held Robin around her waist without him realising it. Both of them were literally stuck together, and anyone could tell they were a couple.
"Robin" Zoro said "Do you want to eat something?"
"Yes" Robin replied "The takoyaki from that stand smells delicious".
"I'll treat you" said Zoro as he walked over to the
"Two boxes of takoyaki please" ordered Zoro.
"Yes!" The woman behind the counter swiftly popped the steaming balls into the boxes and ladled the steaming sauce on top, and sprinkled topping.
Zoro gave her the cash, and went over the bench with Robin to start eating.
"Zoro" said Robin.
"What is it?" said Zoro curiously.
"Well, I wondered how you got the money. You don't seem the type to have it."
"Don't remind me" Zoro choked, he's face was plastered with dread. "Nami loaned me, with 300% interest".
"300% interest" said Robin horrified, she felt really sorry for him.
"But don't worry about that now!" Zoro grinned "We'll just enjoy the moment".
Robin smiled. He's just the man she wanted him to be. Even though he'll face such harsh consequences he still did it for her.
"Zoro, open your mouth" said Robin.
"What? Ooofff!..." Robin popped a takoyaki ball in his mouth.
Zoro blushed as he chewed, "It's really good... Why do you do that for?"
"That's what people do when they date" said Robin.
"Really?" said Zoro, the world of love and dating is still new to him.
"Can I... feed you" Zoro reddened.
"Yes" Robin blushed a little.
Zoro held a takoyaki ball with his chopsticks and Robin bit a little off it.
"Wait" said Zoro, there's sauce on your face".
His face came over close to Robin, casting a shadow over her face.
He was extremely close now. He then pressed his plump lips and licked off the creamy sauce right beside Robin's lips.
"That sauce tasted real good" said Zoro, as Robin blushed red as ever and she stiffened.
"Thank...you..." Robin mumbled, her face was still steaming hot. "Wait, where's Zoro?" Robin said confused.
She looked around, but there was no sign of him.
She even grew eyes around corners using her devil fruit powers. But still, no marimo head is seen.
She was getting worried.
"Damn" thought Robin, "I only took an eye off him in one second, and he strayed off".
Robin sighed, its going to be difficult to search for him in this big festival.
Meanwhile, Zoro stopped at a maid-cafe, not very far from Robin.
"Where am I?" thought Zoro "And Robin got herself lost so I have to look for her, damn" he scratched his head.
"Oi the guy with the weird beard" called Zoro towards the man next to the maid-cafe. "Can I ask for dire-"
"Oh we need new waiters!" the man in the black suit cut in.
"What No-" Zoro refused.
"Come on in!" the man had his other workers shoved him inside the cafe.
"Wait! Wait!" shouted Zoro "I don't have time for this! I have a date!"
"A date huh?" asked the manager. "No way!" when your dressed in THAT. He pointed at his casual white shirt and green waistband pants.
"So what?" barked Zoro. He was ignored, and was carried off with the workers.
"Don't worry!" I'll pay you triple" the manager grinned.
15 mins later...
"Oi you CAN'T do this to me!" Zoro blushed as he left the change room.
"Wow! Not bad!" the workers looked at Zoro with the sparkly eyes with a hint of perverse.
"Get this thing off me!" Zoro snapped in embarrassment.
He was wearing a lacy black and white maid dress,which his muscular bulges was made evident as the dress was tight. It was also fitted with a frilly apron, he had a green wig on his head, and applied make-up. He looked either like a drag queen or a muscly perverted man that had a maid fetish.
"I'm leaving!" fumed Zoro as he left the door, while holding down his skirt that reached down to his thighs.
"No! We're not done yet!" The worker's grinned. "We need to do something with that leg hair".
"What?" snapped Zoro.
Now he's running for it. He knew he can't be violent, or it'll ruin the date as Nami warned. The best option is to run.
Zoro sprinted off, while holding down his skirt to prevent it from flying up, while the workers chased after him.
They cornered him several times but he escaped.
He dashed through the exit, dashed up stairs, and found Luffy and Chopper snacking on some fairy floss.
"They can't see me when I'm in this!" Zoro sprinted away, hoping that they didn't spot him.
Then Zoro found Nami and Sanji passed by, linking hands.
"Oh Shit!" Zoro gasped, again he retreated frantically.
No matter what direction Zoro took, the four black suited workers popped up out of nowhere.
He found himself right in front of the maid-cafe, again.
"Damn, I'm trapped" Zoro sweated as the men surrounded him.
"Smile Zoro!" the manager called "You're scaring the customers away with that glare of yours"
"LIKE I CARE!" retorted Zoro with a vein throbbed on his forehead. "Robin is waiting for me, and I'm here wasting my time on this stupid cafe!"
"Sorry! Sorry!" the manager said in dismay. "Many of my maids had been sick today and I'm in desperate need for people to fill in".
"You call these MAIDS?" Zoro said in disgust.
"Yes! They are cute, aren't they?"
He looked over to buff, muscular men, who wore the same lacy frilled outfits as him. One of them, caked with makeup gave Zoro a wink, and he cringed.
"Just a little longer! I'll give you ten thousand beli!" the manager begged.
"I can't exchange my pride with money, thanks" Zoro walked away.
"Oi, where's my clothes?" asked Zoro.
"Well, finish off your shift and you'll get them back!" the manager pulled out a dark grin.
"Screw you!" Zoro snapped. He really wanted to slice the guy, but he resolved not to attack the weak like him.
"What would you like?" Zoro spoke grudgingly, he emitted an aura that reeked of death.
"Scary!" the two female customers shrieked.
Zoro went out and placed the order onto the counter and returned to serve the next customer.
"What's your order?" Zoro said.
The lady below him had raven black hair, and the familiar purple dress he recognised at the start of the date.
"It can't be... Not now!" Zoro eye's had widened at recognition.
Robin's eyes met his.
"..."
"..."
"I see how it is" her face darkened.
"I can explain!" Zoro spat.
Robin sighed and left the cafe.
"Oi! Zoro!" the manager called. His men grabbed Zoro and dashed away.
"What are you guys doing now?" Zoro said "I'm in a hurry now".
"No man can escort such a fine lady when you are wearing something so plain!"
"What?" gaped Zoro as he saw his new outfit.
It was a dashing black suit with matching black trousers with a leafy green vest. A black tie is tugged snugly around his neck.
"Wow!" the men gasped, impressed at their own work.
Then they shoved Zoro out of the store, "Come on! Go to your woman! Do your best! Anyway, your pay is in your pocket!".
"Oh your katana too!" the manager threw the three swords to Zoro amd he caught them.
"Bye now!" said Zoro as he went after Robin, she sat on the edge of the waterfall.
Zoro ran.
He doesn't know whether he should be grateful for the men who dress him up, or be annoyed at them for humiliating him. But ten thousand beli isn't bad.
Zoro reached Robin, stopped in front of her to catch his breath.
"I'm sorry I made you wait" said Zoro apologetically. "What's your explanation?" said Robin, as she crossed her leg over the other.
She showed no emotion on her face.
"Well..." started Zoro as he joined Robin next to the fountain.
"I see" said Robin nodded and then she smiled. "I should have taken photos of you in that maid outfit. You look so cute!" Robin giggled.
"Shut up! Don't tell anybody in our crew okay? Seriously" said Zoro sternly.
"I got it. Don't worry!" Robin winked.
"There's something off about you" Zoro narrowed his eyes.
"Well don't get lost again" Robin said darkly, "It's a bit of my fault though. But anyway, let's continue our date!" she smiled.
Robin got up first can reached out her hand towards Zoro, he grinned and gladly grabbed it.
"Like this, you won't get lost" said Robin, "Isn't this like de-ja-vu?"
"The forest" said Zoro "I'm glad your foot is fully healed".
"That's no problem" replied Robin "I got injuries far worse than that".
"Is that so?" Zoro said, "Anyway, let's try out that rollercoaster over there"
"Yeah, it looks thrilling" said Robin.
"Oh Nami and Sanji is also lining up there too"
"And they are holding hands" added Robin.
When they grasped the situation, they exchanged cunning smiles of vengeance.
Robin crossed her arms, and an arm grew of of Sanji's waist which pulled Nami's body towards his.
Nami blushed immediately, while Sanji is overwhelmed and he blushed too.
But not just like he does with the other girls, his eyes widened and he was actually embarrassed.
Robin's arm had disappeared into petals instantly.
Nami was enraged and gave Sanji a burning swollen lump on his head with her fist for surprising her.
"That wasn't me Nami-san" Sanji winced as he rubbed his head.
"Then who?" snapped Nami.
"Really I had no idea" said Sanji.
"Well it doesn't matter, I already punished you. Let's go!"
"You can punish me even more Nami-swan~!" Sanji swooned.
He immediately received a beating from the violent Nami.
"..."
"Maybe we went a little too far?" sweat-dropped Robin "Like how much of a beating Sanji received"
"I bet that idiot liked it, don't worry about him. And Nami's a violent woman" sighed Zoro.
"Hopefully she doesn't notice us, or she'll murder us" said Robin bluntly.
Then something had caught their attention towards the stage that was close to the ride.
"Ladies and gentlemen~!" A man in a suit announced on the stage.
"For Valentines Day we are hosting an annual competition. Yeeessssss~! he spun around excitedly. "The Trial of Love!".
On the Den Den Mushi screens popped up pink-hearts. People had gathered up the stage.
"The prize is... a free dining at a cruise! And the additional prizes are..." the host spun the wheel with held all of the names of prizes:
A year's amount of meat, a tonne of sake, 50000 beli, expensive cookware, a 60000 beli worth of book coupons.
"The prizes are pretty big" Zoro said. The host span the wheel, and in came out the sake and book coupons for the prize.
"There you have it!" the host announced "A one night dine along with a heap of sake and book coupons. Who ever wants to participate go through that gate."
"Looks interesting" grinned Zoro in anticipation "I can't wait to get my hands on that sake!"
"And the coupons I do need aswell" Robin added.
They walked into the entrance gate. "Let's win this".
