Zoro×Robin
Teach You How to Love
(takes part in New World)

-on the deck of Thousand Sunny, morning;-

"Ouch! Shit!"

Zoro's angry voice echoed in the ship. The deck was empty expect for Robin and the green haired man who was now swearing as he jumped on one foot.
The others were gone to explore the island they had anchored that morning. And these two were chosen to stay and guard the ship.

Robin was reading a book as usual on one of the lounges on the deck. She lowered her sunglasses and looked at the angry man, not bothering to stand up and walk over to him. What could even happen to the mighty swordsman after all?

Just as Robin was thinking about how strong Zoro was, she started to wonder. Wonder if he was really as tough as he made it look like. Wonder if he actually had a soft side. Wonder if he ever cared for someone very deeply.

Wonder if under that cold expression he always had, he actually needed love...

Zoro had now stopped jumping and was looking at the injury on his left foot. Robin assumed he hit his foot while trying to lift a barbell. Those enormous barbells he had carried to the deck right after the others were gone.

Robin decided to talk to Zoro and smiled to herself as she closed her book and put it on the table next to her.

She put her hands behind her back and aproached Zoro who was now sweaty after all that weight lifting. But untill she coughed, he didn't even notice her presence;

"Oh, hey Robin. What are you doing here?"

"Ehm? I'm in charge of the ship today just like you? Don't tell me you didn't realize."

"Of course I realized. But why are you here, like, next to me? You saw people coming here?"

"Nope, I just wanted to talk to you."

Zoro looked suspicious;

"About what?"

"Nothing in particular. Do I need something big to happen in order to talk to you?"

The green haired swordsman arched an eyebrow and folded his arms in front of his chest;

"Okay, talk."

They both looked at each other for almost a minute in utter silence. Then Robin sighed;

"Seriously? Why are you so...cold?"

"Cold? I'm not cold to start with!"

"And now you're angry. You really do have a short temper."

The boy snarled, closing the gap between the two;

"So what? What does it have to do with you?"

Robin looked at him with an unpleased face before coming even closer to him, even their noses almost touched;

"What does it have to do with me, you say? Let's say I've decided to break into that stone wall of yours. I want to see trough that cold stare of yours. I will... I will teach you how to love."

She said, before smiling at Zoro and turning her back to him. She had to bite her lower lip in order to contain her laughter.

Robin made her way towards to kitchen. Since Sanji wasn't there to give her special shakes and mochas he experimented every other day, she had to make her own coffee.
The raven haired woman closed the door behind her back and put some water in the coffee machine. She managed to stay silent for a few seconds before finally snapping out and drowning in a fit of laughter. Zoro's face was utterly priceless! That look he gave her when she was talking about love!
