Title: Mystery Within Her

Characters/Pairing(s): Zoro&Robin

(Pre/Post) Time Skip: Pre Time Skip

It was the middle of the night and Robin was fast asleep. Another long battle today and another victory, but she earned bruises along the way. Now that her fights are more physical, she's been getting a lot of bruises and cuts lately, but as long as her friends were safe, as long as he was safe, it was worth it.

She was so tired, she could hardly move. Usually, she'd be up with her boyfriend in the crow's nest. They would spend their nights together if he was ever on guard duty. Those were nights she enjoyed the most, because she could be with him and him alone. Tonight was his night again, but the doctor forced her to stay in bed. She'd leave if she could but she'd hate to make the reindeer angry the next morning. She couldn't make him mad. There were other nights she could sneak off to see him. One night wouldn't hurt.

Then, everything turned into a dream. She could feel a hand sliding up her arm. She felt someone grab her hand and lift it off the bed. Soft and moist lips planted a kiss on the back of her hand. She felt those lips leave a trail of kisses leading up her arm. When those lips reached her neck, the kisses lasted longer. Kisses were planted on her jaw, her cheek, the tip of her nose, and both eyelids.

As hard as she tried to open her eyes, she couldn't. It was like something was keeping her from opening her eyes. She strived to see who this person was. With her eyes closed, her sense of smell heightened. Because of that, she could smell a strong scent of steel and a hint of booze. There was only one person in the world with the kind of scent.

The green haired swordsman slid his hand up her forehead and moved her bangs along the way. He didn't know why, but the mystery behind her bangs really bothered him. They covered a section of her face and a bit of her eyes, and he didn't like that. With her bangs out of the way, she looked even more beautiful. He got to see the side of her he never saw before. He left a long lingering kiss on the center of her forehead. At last, he got a full view of her. Such beauty.

The hand on her head disappeared and she could feel her bangs fall back on top of her head. It was silent until she heard a few movements. Suddenly, she felt a pair of soft lips on her own.

The next morning, Robin woke up feeling perfectly normal. Her bruises didn't hurt as much as the day before and all the pain she received from the previous battle didn't bother anymore. She could still feel the person's kiss on her forehead. Why her forehead of all places?
