A.N: Sorry for the long wait! I hope that this chapter is good enough to make up for it. So, did anyone notice that at some points Robin called Zoro Kenshi-san and at some points Swordsman-san? I didn´t do it on purpose… anyway, from now on I´ll use the English nicknames.

Chapter 4: Robin and alcohol don´t mix

They had just beaten the crap out of the so called god, Enel, and were now celebrating it. Robin was, of course, happy about it, but her thoughts were elsewhere than in their victory. She had barely been conscious, but she could still feel the swordsman´s strong arm around her, preventing her from falling. It had been then that she realized he truly cared and didn´t just see her as some woman who he wanted for himself. And yes, Robin knew he wanted her, it was obvious. Not that she was complaining, she had purposely made him want her.

But she had never expected she´d end up wanting him.

Sure she had always thought the younger man as an attractive one and wouldn´t have minded a bit more intimate relationship with him, but she hadn´t expected to get this serious about the subject. What was so different between him and other attractive men? She didn't know…

"Oi, Robin!" Luffy yelled, pulling the raven haired woman out of her thoughts.

"Yes?"

"Do you know where Zoro is?" Luffy asked. Robin blinked, looking around. The swordsman really was nowhere in sight.

"No, I don´t" she replied, wondering where the swordsman was.

"Oh, okay" Luffy said "Then you can come to dance!"

"I´ll pass" Robin said, shaking her head. Now she really wanted to know where the swordsman had gone off to.

"You´re no fun Robin" Luffy pouted, making the older woman laugh. She stood up, deciding to go find the swordsman.

Zoro was drinking with Wiper, trying to look natural. Why, you ask? Well his plan was, at least for tonight, to hang around some other women to make Robin jealous. Dirty and bit childish, yes, but she started it! ….okay, that was a childish defense. But right now he didn´t have a better idea so he might as well use her cards against her. He was sure she´d find him at some point, on purpose or not. When she did he´d make sure to not make eye contact with her; that way she might not realize what he was doing… or maybe she would; she was smart.

"But the point is to make her jealous; it doesn´t really matter if she realizes what I´m doing as long as it works" Zoro thought with a small smirk.

"Care for a drinking contest, swordsman from Blue Sea?" Wiper asked suddenly. Zoro smirked and said: "Bring it on"

"Count me in!" cheered Nami, sitting next to Zoro.

"May I join in too?" asked Robin who was walking towards them. Zoro didn´t make eye contact with her and kept silent, knowing that Nami would handle the talking.

"Sure, the more the merrier!" Nami cheered. Robin smiled, sitting between Wiper and Zoro, who had a hard time hiding his frown. The damn woman was way too close.

Three first cups all of them took down with ease. When the eight came Robin started to feel a bit dizzy, but decided to continue so that she could keep an eye on Zoro. When they had their tenth mug Zoro and Nami acted like they were drunk but otherwise completely fine. Wiper started to feel dizzy and Robin was almost ready to throw up. Deciding it would be too embarrassing she decided to give up.

"I think I´m going to bed" she said, standing up with a hand over her mouth.

"Oh, you´re such a sissy Robin!" Nami yelled with a laugh and continued drinking. Robin smiled at her faintly before she started to walk away, collapsing not long after.

"Is she alright?" Wiper asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I´m sure she´s fine" Nami said, waving her hand. It´s not like anything would happen to the strong woman. Zoro sighed, standing up.

"I´ll take her to the bed"

"Oh yeah?" Nami and Wiper asked with raised eyebrows.

"Not like that!" Zoro yelled with red face, making them laugh.

"Yeah yeah, just take her to bed!" Nami laughed with a wave of her hand. Zoro glared at the navigator, walking to pick Robin up. He decided to carry her to the Merry; it was the only place safe and quiet enough to sleep in.

As they entered the women´s cabin Robin started to wake up.

"Swordsman-san?" she mumbled her eyes only half open.

"Alcohol really isn´t your thing, is it?" he asked with a teasing smirk. Robin only smiled, touching his face gently, causing it to go red.

"O-oi, what the heck are you doing woman?" Zoro asked, making Robin giggle. Yes, giggle.

"Swordsman-san, have I ever told you how handsome you are?" Robin asked. Zoro quickly dropped her on Nami´s bed, muttering: "You´re way too drunk, woman."

Robin giggled again, taking a hold of Zoro´s hand before he could leave.

"I´m not drunk" she protested "Stay here with me so we can have some fun"

Zoro froze only for a moment before sighing.

"No" he said "You´re drunk; you´d regret it later"

"No I´m not" Robin said, trying to pull him towards the bed.

"Yes you are; we can talk about this in the morning" Zoro said, doubting that she wouldn´t even remember all this then "Now get some sleep"

"But I don´t wanna sleep" Robin pouted.

"Not my problem" Zoro said, trying not to be affected by her cute face as he released his hand. Robin frowned, crossing her arms. She took a key out from under Nami´s pillow and closed the door with her powers. Then she threw the key to the extra arms and locked the door.

"Oi" Zoro started, his voice low "Give me the key"

Robin smirked, throwing the key to herself.

"Why don´t you come to get it?" she asked, holding the key on her eyelevel. Zoro´s eyebrow twisted as he walked towards the woman, trying to ignore her mysterious smile. Once he was close enough he reached for the key, but Robin pulled it back, dropping it inside her shirt.

"Oi! What the hell do you think you´re doing!" Zoro stuttered, his face as red as a tomato.

"Just putting it somewhere I won´t lose it" Robin said with a wink "But you can still take it"

Zoro´s eyebrow twisted again; was she really drunk? She shouldn´t be able to think that clearly.

"No, this is Robin we are talking about; she´s definitely drunk" Zoro thought, but that didn´t change the fact that he didn´t know what to do. He could have cut the door down but if he did that Nami would definitely raise his dept again. Then he got an idea.

"Okay, I´ll play along long enough to take the key. Then I just unlock the door and leave" Zoro thought, his only worry being if he´d be able to control himself or not.

"Well if you insist" he said with a smirk, pushing her on to her back. He kissed her passionately, knowing that fooling her wouldn´t really be that easy even if she was drunk.

Robin moaned, her hands going to Zoro´s hair to pull him closer. Zoro´s other hand slipped under her shirt while the other was on her face; he´d had to get the key soon or he wouldn´t be able to stop. To not make Robin suspicious (or that´s what he told to himself) he squeezed her left breast, making her moan loudly against his mouth. They parted away for air just when Zoro got the key to his hand. Perfect!

"Robin"

"Yes?"

"Close your eyes" before she could question him he pulled her into another passionate kiss, groping her breast with his hand that was still under her shirt. She moaned, closing her eyes. Zoro broke the kiss with a smirk, keeping his left hand on her shoulder as he took the right one from under her shirt. He grinned, starting to kiss her neck and biting it, making her gasp.

"Keep your eyes closed" Zoro whispered in her ear. Robin obeyed eager to see what he had in mind. Zoro backed away quietly, slipping the key to the lock.

"Yes! Just a little more…" Zoro thought with a smirk.

"Zoro?" Robin asked.

"Wait just a little longer" Zoro said, ignoring the fact that she had used his name. He opened the door silently, stepping outside.

"Zoro?" Robin asked, this time sitting up and opening her eyes, only to see the swordsman leaving.

"You´ll thank me later" the swordsman said, closing and locking the door. He heard Robin walk towards the door but didn´t pay any attention to it, leaving the key a couple of meters away from the door. She´d realize to get it with her powers once she was clear headed.

In the morning Robin woke up with a terrible headache. Now, most people don´t remember the things they do while in drunk clearly, but Robin wasn´t like most people. She remembered everything.

"I made a fool out of myself" she thought, sitting up on the bed. Zoro was right; she was grateful that he had been able to control himself yesterday. This day was going to be awkward enough. She went to look at herself from the mirror, noticing the bruise on her neck.

"I have to cover this" she thought, deciding that some makeup would do. After the job was done she walked to the door, but it didn´t open. She touched her eye, making extra eyes appear near the women's cabin and there the key lay only a few meters away from the door. She used her powers to get it and unlocked the door, stepping outside.

Robin decided that the best thing to do was to pretend that nothing had happened. However she couldn´t fight the blush that came to her face when she met Zoro´s eyes. The said swordsman smirked, his eyes moving to her neck where the makeup covered the bruise.

"I´ll admit my defeat Swordsman-san" Robin thought with a smile "For now"

A.N: Like it? Well anyway, I have a question: should I move straight to the Water 7 and Enies Lobby arc or should I put the meeting with Admiral Lolicon in the next chapter? But I know I´ll jump over the fillers and the Foxy thing. Review!
