Soft
Frobin Summer 2018 Prompt: Camping Vacation @frobinfandaysÂ
Robin slid the marshmallow off the stick, capturing it between two cookies and the piece of chocolate. She looked over at Franky, chomping down on his third chocolate-only sandwich.Â
âYouâre sure you donât want a marshmallow?â she said, tilting her head and smiling. âSanji made them, you know.âÂ
âHe made them for you, you mean,â Franky said.Â
âAnd everyone else.âÂ
âAnyway, no, I donât like marshmallows,â Franky said, finishing off his treat. He held out his hands, warming them by the fire. âTheyâre too soft.âÂ
âBut hamburgers are soft.â Robin squished the marshmallow between the cookies and took a bite, saying through the dessert, âFries are, too.âÂ
âNot if you make them the right way! Fries should be crispy, and hamburger meat should be crispy around the edges.â Franky turned himself around to lie down on the log. âHamburgers also need lettuce and pickles for extra crunch. Maybe some onion, too.âÂ
When Robin didnât answer, he looked over at her and saw her smiling at him.Â
âWh---What?â he said, sitting up.Â
âIâm amazed you donât like soft things,â she said, returning to her sandwich. âYouâre such a softie yourself.âÂ
âHey!â he exclaimed, holding out his hands. âWhat about this iron body says soft?! Iâm a rough-and-tough gang leader! And I donât dislike all soft things, you know? I mean, I like---âÂ
He cut himself off, curling his arms in on himself and looking away.Â
âYou like what?â Robin said, finishing her sandwich and wiping away crumbs around her mouth.Â
âDonât take it the wrong way,â Franky mumbled, lowering his sunglasses onto his eyes. âYouâre an amazing fighter and you donât take shit from anyone. But, you know---when youâre not fighting, when youâre reading or eating or sleeping---youâre---soft.âÂ
Robin stood and crossed her arms. Before Franky knew it, hands were covering his eyes, and he reached up, trying to bat them away. He stopped only when he sensed Robin settling down in front of him. The hands vanished, and Robin leaned forward to kiss his cheek.Â
âSee,â she said, patting his chin. âYouâre soft.âÂ
