True Feelings

-chapter 1-

"Wow! Isn't it beautiful!" Vivi was staring on her wrist. A diamond bracelet was circled around it.

"Well...It is beautiful..." Nami replied. "I think it is more beautiful than my any other treasures I've collected." She was also staring hard on Vivi's bracelet. A little bit envy.

"Thanks. Hmm...Isn't he's so sweet...He sure knows how to make a beautiful girl like me happy!" Vivi know closed her eyes. Wondering about her new boyfriend. Her boyfriend's name is Takuro. They met at an island which the straw pirates had landed a couple of weeks ago.

"You know what, Nami?"

"What?"

"I think Takuro is not bad at all." Vivi continued and opened her eyes.

"Well...we never said that he's bad."

Vivi chuckled. "I know. I mean he's really sweet to give me this thing knowing that we're just being couple for a week less." She stared at the bracelet once more. Vivi seems to be hypnotized by the bracelet. It wasn't that she's materialistic or something. She was just so surprised to be given a special gift from a special man (a least Vivi thinks so...) like him. "Hhh...long distance is going to be hard for us." She exhaled.

Suddenly. "Oh, I remembered something." Vivi's expressions changed a little bit. She puts a sly smile on her face. "Hmm...you and Zoro have KNOWN each other for, I guess, a long time. I bet he has given you some gorgeous gifts like this. So tell me more about him, Nami."

Silent.

"Umm...He could be romantic, right?" Vivi's seems uncomfortable about the silence between them. "Aa...well... I-I know he's so anti-girl thing outside but...I know, a man like him must be very sweet with his love one...I guess (whispered)...Aahahah...!" Vivi's face lined with sweat.

Nami bowed her head.

More silence.

"Ano...D-did I say something wrong, Nami?" Vivi asked faltering.

Nami exhaled. "No. You didn't say anything wrong." Nami lower her head more. "It's just that...I was thinking about him."

"Huh?"

Nami suddenly raised her head. "Vivi! He never gave me ANYTHING!"

"Nani!" Vivi jerked back. Her eyes wide opened.

Now Nami's eyes began to glitter with tears. "We've been couple for a long time but he never gave me anything. I-I think he doesn't feel the same way like..." Her sentences were cut by Vivi's words.

"Calm down, Nami." She smiled. "Man are not always the same. They show their feelings with the one they love through different things. And maybe Zoro is the kind of guy who couldn't express his feelings obviously. But I'm sure he loves you that much."

"But he never kisses me also. At least in the forehead." Nami's tears began to stroke down. "Maybe Usopp were right. I should have given a chance to that stupid cook. He would give me pretty things everyday. Love snack...candle light dinner..."

"But you don't love him." Vivi once again cut off Nami's words. "Nami, what's so special being with the guy you didn't love?" Vivi's face was serious. "Maybe you like the things he gave you. But your heart doesn't. You'll only get fake happiness."

Nami forced herself to smile. "You're right, Vivi."

Vivi nodded. "Like I said, Zoro is the kind of guy who couldn't express his feelings obviously. So, all you need to do is go and have a talk with him. Just enjoy, Nami. A man like Zoro is full of challenge."

"Hai. Thanks, Vivi."

Dinner comes. Sanji was serving all-Italian food tonight. Luffy was taking all the spaghetti himself. Usopp was mad at Luffy's attitude. They fought a little. Struggling for the food. Chopper didn't care about the two of them and keep on munching happily for the pasta. Vivi was deeply enjoying the mushroom-special for Vivi-pizza. Sanji noticed this and began to overreact in front of her. Everybody enjoy the dinner. EXCEPT...

"Where's Nami?" Zoro asked suddenly.

Everybody turned silent.

"Umm...I think she's in her room. She said she's not hungry." Vivi replied with the pizza still in her hand.

"But I thought she liked Italian food." Zoro said.

"Yeessss!...And I also made ORANGE SHERBET special for her!" Sanji's eyes turned into love balls.

"Hey! Where's mine!" Luffy shouted at Sanji. "I'm the captain here!"

"I don't make dessert for a dumb captain like you!"

"What did you call me!"

"Dumb captain!"

Zoro stood up. "Hh! This is funny. I'm going to force her to eat her dinner unless I want her to caught up with flu again." He wiped his mouth with a napkin telling that he's finished with the dinner. "Where's her dinner?"

"Uhh...There." Sanji pointed to a table. A special menu was served for Nami. Zoro actually never made some kind of declarations in front of his friends about her relation with Nami. But Sanji, and all other the guys, seems noticed about the strange relation between them. That's why Sanji didn't bother when Zoro asked where Nami's dinner was.

"Thanks." Zoro said heading outside the door.

Nami was lying in her bed. She snuggled under the blanket. Takuro's gift for Vivi still seems bothering her mind. She tried to sleep although it wasn't late yet.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Someone knocked the door.

"What is it?" Nami's voice was low.

"Nami, it's me."

"Zoro?" She repositioned herself into a sitting position. Her lap was still cover with the blanket. "Ahem...Come in."

Zoro opened the door and went inside.

"What do you want?" She asked unable to stare his eyes.

"I...I brought you your dinner." He wasn't used to this kind of situation. "...you must be hungry."

"I'm not hungry. I'm sleepy"

Zoro stepped closer and then sit next to her. "You should eat or you'll get sick again." He showed the plate to Nami. "This is your favorite food. Sanji made this special for you." He was hoping that she would take the plate and ate them. But Nami's reaction was different from what he had guessed.

"Would you care if I were sick?" Nami bowed her head to hide her expression.

Zoro was surprised to hear her question. Anyways, he had to reply. "Of course I care."

She raised her head a bit to watch his face. "Really? Why?"

"Huh?" He began to get confused. "Umm...because...you're my...my..." He chocked a little finding for words and then continued. "...my girl?" His eyebrows twisted. He wasn't sure of what he had said. He felt stupid.

"Am I really your girlfriend?" Nami was torturing him with sarcastic questions.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

She sniffed.

Zoro was surprised even more knowing that Nami began to cry. "Tell me. What's wrong with you?" His hand ran for hers and then grabbed it lightly. "...please."

She breathed so that she could speak clearly. "You don't love me."

"What?" Zoro's eyebrows were twined. Not sure of what he had heard.

"You don't love me." She said that once again.

"Of course I do."

"But you never showed it to me."

Zoro grabbed Nami's hand tighter. "Nami, did I do something wrong to you? You don't look like as usual."

Now her cry burst. "Vivi's boyfriend just gave her a gift although they've just being couple for a week less. We've been couple for more than three months but you never gave me anything or do any special things for me. You don't love me!" Tears were falling down to her lap. She wiped it with the back of her palm.

"Gosh...Is this what bothers you?"

She nodded slowly.

He let out a little laugh. "Look. Maybe I'm not good at being romantic or something. But I'll protect you from anything that disturbs you. From anything that harms you. Maybe this is how I showed my feelings for you." His tone turned serious. His eyes were dark. "I do care about you, Nami."

She raised her head and smiled now. He smiled back.

"Good. Now eat your dinner. It won't taste good if it's cold."

She nodded.

Zoro stood up. Getting ready to leave. But that's not just it. Before that he cupped her left cheek with his right hand and flew a kiss on her forehead, gently.

Then left her.

Stunned.
