💋 (from @spcdesace)

Every so often she just wanted to forget who she was and the lifetime of misery that preceded the day. So she changed out of her usually 'Miss All Sunday' style, left her wani at the casino and headed into a village that barely looked up as she passed.

It was in one of these little places she found herself dragging dark hair and freckles into a quiet and cool corner. She wasn't drunk, just pleasantly buzzed and excited to forget the world for a few moments. He was shirtless which gave her hands plenty of skin to trace and grab as she kissed him, taking advantage of her slight height over him to press him against the wall.

Still she was fair, breaking the kiss with a nip at his top lip and giving him a moment's breath to run away if he so desired.

Robin hummed softly at the agreement, taking his hand and slipping herself onto the window seat with him. “Would you believe anything other than a yes about worrying?” She laughed, though the sound was hollow. Of course she was worried, even the ones she could check on she worried about when she couldn’t see them. The group she couldn’t check on worried her more, but she’d handle it. “I am in a constant state of it. Thankfully being a geisha means I already don’t need to sleep.”

"you have a point." he doesn't usually indulge in the company of the geisha, usually present only when boss kyoshiro requested his presence. otherwise, he worked behind the scenes, gathering the information he wished to acquire himself or asked of him to acquire. but, ever since she's come, he may be known to frequent the halls more and more. "nowhere is safe in the capital. but, have you found your position to still be advantageous? i would offer my help should you ever require it." he holds his hand out for her to accompany him by the window. "your friends--- are they still safe? do you worry for them?"

“Don’t worry about it. I was already awake." (for Robin; straw hat verse; Izou; asamuraishonor) @asamuraishonor

"Still, I hadn't realized the kettle was going to be so loud." Robin's voice was apologetic as she poured them both a cup of tea. She was trying a new type of tea and it was fairly early in the morning so Robin had almost jumped out of her skin when the kettle whistled as loud as it did.

"I'm sorry for the startle."

🖐 - haru tracing robin’s lightning scars asked by @a11sunday

Robin hummed softly as she changed into the borrowed kimono. The fighting was over and she had soaked the reminders of the fight off. With all that had happened she didn't react to the door opening until someone's fingers traced onto her back

"Ah, Haru" The two of them had grown closer so she wasn't upset with him coming in. Realizing what he was seeing she smiled softly "Ah,those. Interesting aren't they?"

🎲 - robin and haru < 33 asked by @a11sunday and got 6. A gentle peck

Robin hummed softly as she sat next to Haru, the two watching the sun set. It was a quiet day, one of the few as they were working towards the fight to overthrow Kaido. Everyone else was settling down for rest, they would all need their strength in the coming days.

"It's almost over." She hummed, tipping her head back as the wind blew past them. With a tilt of her head she pressed a soft kiss to his cheek. "You're home is almost free."

[sirensofthefiveseas]

Robin smiled briefly, though she hadn’t been a part of the crew when Smoker first met with the rest of them. Honestly she wondered how he first was with such a young pirate captain with the goal of becoming king, Luffy’s youth often made people underestimate him but she doubted the Marine did. “Well the Merry was always a fast ship. I imagine she wanted to get the adventure started as well.” If there was one unforgivable in all of what happened, it was the loss of that ship.

Taking the cream she looked it over, raising an eyebrow slightly. Robin had of course heard of this before, but never had the chance to try it. Logia’s were more sensitive to seastone so it made sense he carried some with him. Nodding in thanks she rubbed it into the soreness of her wrists, laughing softly as she hide herself from his man and the comment that followed. “We don’t forget any more than you do Smokey.”

They just knew they were safe with him.

His head nodded lightly in acceptance of her reasonings, it was true that most never really looked for older versions of the bounty posters; they all tended to think that wanted pirates were ageless. It was extremely stupid. "That's very true, I was surprised when I ran into your Captain in Loguetown, I hadn't expected him to arrive as soon as he did; especially with only four other Straw Hats in his wake"

Without thinking, Smoker went into his pocket and handed her a pot of cream, it was one he used himself when he came into contact with seastone; he wasn't sure what ingredient helped, but it eased the soreness that appeared. "That will help" he informed her, hiding his own surprise at his actions.

Biting his cheek to keep from laughing at the suggestion of food or tea, he rolled his eyes playfully before calling through to one of his underlings to transport two servings of lunch and the items needed for tea. Though, he did gesture for her to hide to keep the other marine from attempting to assault her should they realize who was with him. "You straw hats all seem to forget I'm a marine" he commented to her

PINNED - haru @ robin during her baroque works days 🤭 down for whatever context you feel is right for this one ! asked by @a11sunday

Robin let a soft noise escape her as she was pinned to the wall, smirking at the interloper. "Ah...you again." She and this strange man had been running into each other during various jobs she had been taking. "What is it this time? Or did you just miss me after our last meeting?"

She didn't know why, but there was something about him that drew her in

[sirensofthefiveseas]

"When was the last time you actually got some rest?" Crocodile asked without looking up from the paper he was reading. His tone was even and nonchalant as if he didn't really care. The words he spoke telling the truth. He was concerned about her, though he would make a big deal of it. The sand man was fairly good at keeping his emotions in check... at least most of the time.

Robin didn't look up from her work, ignoring the burning in her eyes. She was bent over a large rubbing of a mural one of the Billions brought in, trying to translate the small pieces that weren't as well pressed. Crocodile's voice cut through her focus for a moment before she squinted her eyes to pick up where she left off.

"I slept recently." Recently was two days ago, but still. "I wish they had gotten a better pressing. I can barely make out some of these letters." She wondered if she was getting to the point of needing glasses with how often she was bent over work like this.

"Can you bring me a magnifying glass?"

steam rises from the pool of water, its reflective surface disturbed as he settles alongside her. tired muscles relax as heat envelops and soothes aches and pains, the tension in the small of his back and between his shoulders gradually melting away. haru dips his head low, following the trace of his fingertips with the brush of his lips. “are you comfortable, robin?” 💋 asked by @a11sunday

Robin hummed softly as she soaked in the water, the heat loosening the muscles that had been so tense for a long while. The ripples of her partner joining her in the water brought a small smile to her lips as she shifted to make room for him next to her. His touch caused a small shiver to run down her skin, and Robin tilted her head to make room for him.

"More so with you here."

[sirensofthefiveseas]

bite ] a playful kiss that involves some light biting - haru @ robin! asked by @a11sunday

Robin couldn't help the chuckle that left her as Haru leaned into her from behind, letting his weight distract her from the text she was translating. "I never thought you'd get so greedy for my attention" she teased, tilting her head slightly to look at him.

Leaning in she kissed him softly, nipping at his bottom lip and tugging it gently with her teeth "Let me finish this page and then I'm yours"

“up already, i see?” - Croc @ Robin asked by @piecedpirates

"Yes, though I will say I got more sleep this night" Robin said, though she still felt the edges of exhaustion. Being Miss All Sunday meant she did a lot of different duties and sometimes it robbed her of sleep "I had coffee made, would you like a cup?"

[sirensofthefiveseas]

Continued from here with @burikubato

Robin froze at the question, looking up at her former employer from over the edge of a cup she had been taking a sip from. Setting the cup down she leaned back into the chair, tilting her head slightly as she thought over the question.

"Because knowledge shouldn't be forbidden." She started, tracing her pinkie finger along the rim of the cup. "The Void century is the foundation of so many mysteries of the world but anyone who looks into is killed." Robin looked up at him and smiled softly, tilting her head to the other side. "I won't deny a bit of thrill looking into it solely because it's forbidden, but that was when I was a child and being told no."

"Now, if nothing else I want to know what the government is so afraid of and why so many people had to die."

[sirensofthefiveseas]

Robin laughed softly, giving his hand a soft squeeze. As he pulled her closer Robin allowed the move, tucking herself against his side. The warmth against her skin was so addicting and she couldn’t help but want more of it. Still it wasn’t polite to just grab him from his chair and pull him into a dark corner. Last time they only managed to get into a corner, this time if there was going to be anything she would like to know how he could work on a flat surface.

“Someone shot through one of our sails so we’re stuck for a little.” The boys have been playing with Ussop’s new toy and were now on a wild hunt for supplies to fix everything. Nami was in a rage and thus why Robin had decided to slip away and give herself a break from the chaos. Instead she found herself meeting up again with someone she thought wouldn’t see again for a long while.

“We’re gotten a hotel room while we’re waiting for it to be fixed.” The offer was there, as she leaned forward to trail her lips against his ear. “Separate rooms.”

"If I said I was looking for you would you drag me out by my belt? I think everyone could use a little scandalizing." One hand moved to catch hers as it ran over his arm, fingers knitting between hers as he took the offered beer. Lazily taking a sip even as he pulled her closer to him. The thought of seeking out any other company for the night was long gone now that she was here before him. No, the real issue would be deciding exactly how he was going to ravage her once they were done being polite.

He couldn't help the bark of laughter that fell from his lips. "Of course he did. That sounds like Luffy." Though he doubted she'd informed his brother of how familiar they were with each other. How he knew every inch of her skin and the places that it would only take a touch to heat her blood with desire. Honestly, just the thought of it had him gardening slightly. They had been wild together in a way he hadn't found with anyone since then. "I'm honestly just passing through. Didn't even realize you all were in the area."

Can I get an extra pillow / blanket? - chopper @ robin! (lack of sleep starters) asked by @a11sunday

Robin smiled softly, arms sprouted over to the closet that held the requested items and bringing them over. "Here you are doctor." She sat on the bed with him, tucking the blanket around him and the extra pillow behind him to cradle him in softness. "Now you really should sleep. It's been a long day and we'll be helpless if you're to sleepy in the next fight."

There would of course be a next fight, it was just their life now.

[sirensofthefiveseas]

i tried not to upset you . - iselda @ robin! asked by @a11sunday

"I should be saying that to you." Robin said softly, watching the marine across from her. It had been surprising when the women didn't want to arrest her, instead asking about a name that Robin never thought she'd heard again.

"I'm sorry I don't have any real news for you. I was a child when everything happened."

[sirensofthefiveseas]

which subtle way of saying "i love you" are you?

"are you sure you're okay?"

you wear your heart on your sleeve. you're probably the first to tell a person you love them in an unsubtle way -- because you love them, and they deserve to know it! maybe you're not entirely open about what you feel all the time (it depends on the situation and the person you're with) but you're generally comfortable around emotions. your own and others' -- and you'll make sure to encourage the people you love to be honest about how they feel, too. you'll check in with them to make sure they're okay, and you know your closed-off loved ones well enough to check in with them again when they've assured you that yes, they're fine, don't worry. because guess what? you'll happily worry about them, and they'll get it in the end. your love is the healing type; you're patching up scars you might not even know exist.
