[Robin shakes her head, giggling a little.]

I'm sure I'll get around to it.

[As endearing as the orange grin is, Robin cringes inwardly. His entire face is covered in grease and bits of meat. Luckily she has a handkerchief. She sets her book aside and begins dabbing at his cheek.]

Honestly, you make such a mess. Enjoying your birthday, I take it? Have you received many gifts?

[allendsmeat]

[swallows the orange without much problem]

You should come with me! We'll take Zoro!

[because they can't go by themselves and Sanji is cooking and Usopp's not here, boo]

Or maybe Bepo or Elsa.

[he blinks when she cleans his face and then grins]

Yeah it's great! Smokey sent me some bacon candy. He's a really weird guy but I like him.

[thetruehistorian]

[Bacon candy. Seriously. Robin thinks he must have found the island of meat, but keeps such a notion to herself. Candy Mountain was strange enough.]

I couldn't have said it any better, myself.

[It takes a bit of doing, but finally Robin finishes scrubbing off his cheek, and starts on the other side. She smirks a little as she does.]

I should probably give you my gift, sooner or later.

[allendsmeat]

Ehhhh? A present? [vibrates softly] What is it? Let me see! [exciting! Better than the slides even!]

[thetruehistorian]

First, you need a clean face. It'll be much more enjoyable to give it to you if you aren't covered in food.

[Robin finishes scrubbing his cheek and shifts the handkerchief around to dab at his chin with a clean spot, but thankfully there isn't much more than that. She takes his hat off and sets it aside]

Now, lay down and close your eyes for a moment.

[allendsmeat]

Ehhh? Okay...

[it's sort of weird and he doesn't know why a clean face matters but he'll do as she wants and close his eyes, still vibrating a little]

[thetruehistorian]

[Robin blinks down at Luffy. Her requests must seem absolutely ridiculous even to him but he doesn't question anything. She could wring his neck or smother him or drive a sword through his chest, and he trusts her completely. Even after all their adventures, some of which he doesn't even remember, Robin still finds it terrifying. He's going to trust the wrong person one day, and then-

And then she'll just have to believe that he'll be strong enough to overcome whatever betrayal falls upon him.

Robin leans down, laying on top of his chest, and brushes a strand of hair away from his eyes. He's so young, to have moments of so much maturity. She remembers the petulance on his face when she first met him, the vehemence with which he declared that he hated her, because his crew told him that she was toying with the Princess of Arabasta's emotions. It had cut her, then, made her feel again. It was an expression so very different from the one he made, not long after, on the roof of the bridgehouse at Enies Lobby. Screaming at her to just say she wanted to live, and decide whether or not it was true when she was standing by his side. She wasn't there to see his expression when Ace died, something for which Robin both thanks her lucky stars and feels the most profound regret. But she did see the determined look in his eyes in photographs taken as he brazenly went into the rubble of the battlefield to send her a message, a crossed out 3D followed by 2Y scrawled in large print over his arm. The quiet way he walked into an angry mob of 100,000 fishmen, and with only a look at their leader, cut the mob's numbers in half.

Freedom means having choices to make, and accepting the consequences of those choices. Even trapped in this world as they are, there's still so many things to have to choose, and Robin simply doesn't know which options to take. But she knows a few things for sure.]

When you make a promise to someone you have to keep it.

[She slips her arm up around his neck, drawing her other hand's thumb and fingers down the side of his face.]

Always be my captain, okay?

[Her breath tickles faintly over Luffy's lips, then Robin dips her head and kisses him softly.]

[allendsmeat]

[this is already really weird and he doesn't get it, but it's nice, too, in a weird way that tickles from the inside. Her hands give him shivers for some weird reason but not in a bad way either. He's about to say of course but then....

His eyes widen, his face flushes hot and suddenly his heart starts to go really fast. He wonders if he's sick or something! It's a kiss, but different from the candy stuff. Everything is soft and smells really good and he twitches to want to do something only he's not sure what to do.]

[thetruehistorian]

[Robin nudges her nose against Luffy's, then parts her lips just enough to take his bottom lip between them, sucking gently. She can feel him want to move beneath her, but unsure how, and so she sprouts an extra fleur from her elbow to guide his arm up around her waist. After another moment she lets his lower lip go in favor of taking a quick, gentle nip at the upper, then pulls away with a smile.]

There. Feel better?

[allendsmeat]

[yes! no... Maybe? The arm around her waist is really strange like dancing but not cuz she's on top of him and the biting feels good but even stranger and he can see what she means. It's a lot different from Smokey or Sanji.]

Um.... I'm dizzy...

[and his face is really hot and it all smells so good but not a meat smell-- something really different but nice but dizzying, too. He swallows]

Thanks....

[thetruehistorian]

[Robin giggles and sits up next to him.]

That's a normal response, actually. Your head will clear in due time.

[She rests her chin in the palm of her hand.]

Happy birthday.

[allendsmeat]

shishishi thanks. [he rolls onto his side and smiles up at her. She looks really pretty with the light coming through the leaves]

I'm glad you're my nakama.

[not just because of the kiss, but in part, because she cared about him enough to give him exciting things and she was really smart and funny and cool and dark. He had the best crew ever]
