Love is Worth a Chance (ZoRobin)

Chapter 19-Ghost Giving

Zoro was in his room when he heard footsteps walking by.

"It must be Robin!" He thought to himself. This was the perfect chance to fix things with her. Sabo and Koala were out, and strangely enough so was Perona.

The two were alone together for the first time since that day, this would be his chance!

He got up and opened his door and stepped into the hallway. She had already walked past the hallway. He went to the kitchen and there she was.

Her hair was up and messy, she wore shorts and a purple t-shirt. Not the most sophisticated outfit, but she didn't need something like that to look beautiful.

"Hey....Robin," Zoro started off trying to find the words to say. What could he even say after what had happened before?!

"Hi Zoro," Robin responded shyly also not knowing what else to say. Things had become so akward between the two of them. As much as Robin loved the kiss they shared, she regretted the way that it made their relationship with eachother become.

The two stood there in akward silence.

Zoro rubbed his hair trying to think hard and Robin was leaning against the counter twiddling her thumbs nervously.

"This is bad!", Zoro thought to himself, "I need to do something fa-" his train of thought was interrupted by the sound of a door swinging open and hitting the wall. Koala, Sabo, and Perona had returned.

Robin stared at them, she had almost a horrified look on her face.

The truth is her heart sank the moment she heard the door. She was really hoping that the two of them would get to work things out there since they were alone, but of course something had to happen. She looked at Zoro and he had his palm on his face.

Both of them knew that they wanted to fix things between them but it was just about figuring out how to.

"Heyyyyy guysss!" Koala said enthusiastically as she entered through the door.

"We're back!" Sabo called out following her.

Zoro looked at them and realized Perona was there too. She was right behind Sabo but unlike the other 2 she didn't say a word.

"Weird," Zoro thought to himself, "I've never really seen the 3 of them go out together like that."

"Hey you guys!" Robin called out from behind Zoro.

"Heyyyy Robinnn!" Perona and Koala squealed with excitement upon seeing their friend. Zoro just watched them from afar.

He felt something hit his shoulder, "what's going on Zoro? You seem kind of out of it today," Sabo said while leaning against the kitchen counter next to Zoro.

"It's hard to explain," Zoro told him.

"Say no more," Sabo said cutting him off already knowing what was bothering him. Sabo had noticed it too.

There was something weird going on with him and Robin. That also made him feel guilty for what was going to happen soon.

Later in the day Zoro was out training. This time it felt different though. Something was missing.

Training really was better when Robin was around cheering him on.

He sighed to himself. "What to do what to do..." he pondered to himself. His thoughts were suddenly interrupted.

"Heyyyyy! Zoroooo!" Called out a familiar voice.

Zoro looked up, "Perona?!" He exclaimed in surprised.
