One Piece | Robin

Days on the Thousand Sunny could be very peaceful when the weather was right and the sea was calm. With the sun shining brightly and everyone done their chores, it's wonderful to have some downtime.

You could always find Zoro napping somewhere next to a bottle of sake, Sanji in the kitchen, Franky tinkering away in his workshop.. you get the point.

Right now, it's looking like a peaceful day. But you can't seem to rest, your eyes glued to the figure of Robin as she sits and peruses the latest newspaper.

Not in a creepy way, of course! You just happened to notice her seated on deck, sipping some tea. And you just couldn't seem to look away.

She's wearing a lovely purple dress with a lace collar and black fishnet stockings. Sanji's already peppered her with compliments, and you agreed with him wholeheartedly.

Clutched tightly in your hand is a book. It's one you picked up at the last island in a rickety old bookstore. You had merely glanced at it but something made you revisit it and realize that it looked very interesting.

It was a very old book on the history of the island, and you knew just who you would buy it for. The only problem is you haven't given it to her yet.

You're nervous.

Sure, you're both part of the crew, and you get along fabulously, but you can't stop feeling slightly intimidated by her. She so accomplished and educated, and you're, well, you're smart and you have skills, but it's nothing compared to her.

Often, on calm days like this, you sit with Robin and read next to her. That's another thing you have in common: books.

You love books! In fact, you used to work in a library before you ran into Luffy and became a pirate. Robin loves reading too, so it's something you do together.

It's serene to just be next to her, enjoying your own book as you share the same space on the ship.

What if she doesn't like the book?

A sudden tap on your shoulder startled you. You yelp and turn to face whoever poked you.

A hand waves at you from the railing you were leaning against and then points to where you were staring.

Your eyes meet Nico Robin's as she smiles knowingly. She motions for you to come over to her.

So you do.

Shaking the nervousness away, you slowly walk over to the table and sit next to her.

"You were staring," she glances at you over the newspaper.

You duck your head in embarrassment, "Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you."

"It's alright, Y/n. I was wondering why you were taking so long to come see me."

Deciding to just go for it, you place the book on the table and push it in front of her. She sets down the paper and picks up the old tome. Casting a smile at you, she flips to the first page, "What is this?"

"It's for you! I wanted to give you something and I thought you'd like this," you blabber. "It's the complete history of the last island we were on. I can get rid of it if you don't like it-"
