Hiya! I saw a lot of these types of drabbles online, so I decided to try it. Don't judge me if it fails! Usually when I get an idea in my head, I start a short story and it ends up being a short essay… I SHALL TRY ANYWAY! MWAHAHA. Oh, by the way! Thank you for such nice reviews on my UMPOL story :') I love you guys! Anyways, on with the one shots!
Arachnophobia
The day started well enough. The sun protruded through the curtains of the girl's dorm, stirring a dreaming Nami to consciousness. Stretching, she absent-mindedly pushed her long ginger locks off her face as she sat up. Staring to the empty bed across from her, she came to the conclusion that Robin had woken up before her and probably went to breakfast. Casting a look to her right, Nami picked up her log-pose from her bed side table, effectively strapping it to her wrist. Stepping down onto the floor, she arose from her mattress. Stopping abruptly, she became silent at the sound of movement on her floor.
Her eyes darted from corner to corner, searching for the source of the scuttling. Then, she saw it. Eyes widening, Nami shrieked loudly, jumping back onto the refuge of her bed, backing up to keep a fair distance away from the intruder.
Hearing the scream, Luffy then ran inside, not wasting time on opening the door like a normal person, leaving it to slam against the wall and fall back into an ajar position.
"NAMI! WHAT'S WRONG?" the worried boy asked, eyes resting on the petrified looking girl. Seeing that she wasn't going to answer, Luffy followed her eyes, seeing a small black creature make its way closer to the bed.
Nami shrieked once again, throwing a pillow towards it in pure fright.
"LUFFY! HELP! GET IT OUT OF HERE!" she cried, falling down into her covers as she stared at the boy.
Slowly, Luffy began to laugh. His mirth grew louder and louder until he was literally rolling on the floor, hand clutching his stomach tightly as if it might burst out at any second.
"Nami! It's just a spider!" he chuckled, laughter subsiding into small giggles. Nami merely scowled at him, crossing her arms and pouting.
"So what? It's gross! Get it out of here!" she demanded.
Luffy did as he was told, easily catching the spider in his bare hands, (much to Nami's displeasure), and shooing it out on to the deck. A few seconds later, Luffy emerged once again and came to Nami's side. The orange-haired girl had her eyes shut tightly, hands covering them for further help, not wanting to even look at the room until the creature was out of it.
Luffy raised an arm and gently pried her hands away from her face, smiling widely at her.
"It's gone now, Nami!" he reassured, which made her ease up and jump off the bed.
"Thanks, Luffy…" she muttered, walking towards the door, ready to leave. "Are you coming or what?" she asked.
"Ah? Oh, sorry! Shishishi," he laughed, following her to the door. "I didn't know you were afraid of spiders, Nami! That's cute!" he grinned, scratching his head as they made their way to the dining room.
Nami blushed, pouting. "Whatever…" she grumbled.
