So for those of you new to this, welcome. This is a sequel to my story Confessional Letter. This chapter will make a whole lot more sense if you read that first but if you're very clever, which I'm sure you are I think you get the gist of what that story contains. So it is my recommendation to read it first.

Zoro: That seemed strangely formal for you!

I'm nervous I've never written a sequel to a fiction before. What if no one likes it :(

Chopper: I'm sure they will :3

Thank you Chopper! I would like to thank Rusala for the idea for this and for helping me with any problems :).

She stood there staring at the piece of paper in her hand. She thanked whoever was up there that Robin wasn't currently in the room and cursed them at the same time. No tears fell from her brown eyes. She refused to cry over romance. She was upset of course. She was angry as well. Nami couldn't believe it. It was like getting two hits at once. She honestly believed she could have dealt with more cheating but this, no. She didn't what to feel.

One the one hand she was hurt, again by Sanji's mistakes. He had broken her heart and despite stating it wasn't her fault she couldn't help but feel that way. It's in her nature. Heck it's human nature. Even though it was because of something out of her control, something personal to Sanji, she blamed herself for being foolish enough to give him all those second chances. One the other hand Sanji was her nakama no matter what and this meant that she felt pity for him. Obviously this is difficult for him. He is in a bad place at the moment and she must do what she can to help him and comfort him in any way she can.

She slumped down at her desk, letter resting in her lap as she placed her head in her hands. She probably should go see him. He was probably smoking through his entire pack of cigarettes like there is no tomorrow. She needed more closure on this as well. She's not certain that confronting him so soon will give her any form of closure. He wanted her to tell the crew. She thought carefully for a moment. Maybe Sanji thought that in anger she would tell the crew in a spiteful way however she couldn't do that to him. Not with the way he projected himself in that letter. She believes he should be the one to tell them. Otherwise he may never come to terms with himself.

Look at her; she almost can't believe she is even considering helping him. No she has decided to help him she's just considering how. 'I should be chasing him around the ship, chucking anything and everything I can get my hands on at him. No he needs my help right now!' She realised that even though she is hurt and heartbroken even she was never really in love with the cook. She did love him and the feeling of having a relationship with someone as caring as he was. Had she actually been in love with the man the entire situation would be different. She hasn't forgiven him either yet. Not for being gay, she had no problem with that but he shouldn't have acted on his feelings while still with her. He should have just told her. Every time he cheated on her, whether it was man or woman, a little piece of her hope got lost. There is a terrible feeling for someone to go through again and again.

Sitting up she looked into the desktop mirror to the left of her, the eyes looking back were watery. She took some deep breaths to calm herself. After making herself presentable she walked out of the door. She made sure the hide the letter underneath her pillows safe from prying eyes. She trusted Robin but she also knew that the older woman could be curious and would probably read it if it was left out.

Looking around the deck Nami noticed that it was more or less empty. Zoro was asleep against the tall tree that stood on the main deck and Franky working on rebuilding the swing as Luffy had broken it earlier. She walked down the stairs, saying a simple hello to Franky as she passed, making sure not to raise any suspicion. Her long legs carried her across the strange grass floor of the main deck and up the stairs to the gallery. She assumed Sanji would be there. Since being on board the Thousand Sunny the gallery was no longer the communal area it used to be, not with other cooler rooms such as the aquarium. Sanji for the most part had it to himself between meals. Just to be sure she peered for the porthole-like window on the door. She thought that maybe the bottomless pit they call Captain might have been bothering Sanji for some food. Through the window she could make out that Sanji was sitting at the table, glass of red wine in one hand, head resting on the other and a cigarette still lit resting in the ashtray. Nami wasn't sure if he had smoked any of it. He seemed to be in a daze of some sorts. Nami hesitated for a moment. 'Maybe I should come back tomorrow.' Realistically Nami was never going to get other chance as good as this to talk to the man without someone butting in for one reason or another. Was she really trying to hold it off for her or for him? 'Right I do it now or I'll just keep putting it off!' She knocked lightly on the wooden door.

Sanji slowly lifted his head from his hand at the sound. Looking at the door he notices the familiar silhouetted head of Nami. He sighed deeply. He had been expecting this but still, he was prepared for the onslaught of rage and upset at what he'd done to her. He deserved it though. A small horse "Come in" escaped his mouth. It was just loud enough for the woman to hear and she opened the door almost cautiously. She took the seat opposite the solemn man who had put his head back into his hand. Nami sat there for a moment in silence as she contemplated what to say to him. Sanji set the glass down a lit a new cigarette.

"Sanji." Nothing. "I read the letter and I just don't know what to say to you apart from I'm not angry at you right now, I'm not here to shout abuse at you." Sanji looked up in awe at the woman addressing him. "It did hurt and I'm not exactly ecstatic that you cheated on me for what feels like the hundredth time but right now you're my nakama and I think you need some comfort." Nami watched Sanji face for a reaction. He seemed confused still but also relieved, maybe because she wasn't shouting at him.

"Why?" Nami's brows furrowed in slight annoyance to this. She thought for a second how exactly to phrase her thoughts.

"Even though we were in a relationship somehow you are, and have always been my nakama first. Maybe if it was a matter of simple adultery it would be different but, like many things on this ship, it isn't that simple is it?" Sanji stared at the redhead before him confused.

"I suppose but still it hasn't been long since you must have read the letter so why aren't you shaking with rage?"

"I'm worried." She didn't hesitate in her answer nor did she look at him. Sanji looked at her trying to read the expression on Nami's face to try and make sense of this situation but it was almost blank. 'Is she putting on a brave face? Is she really that worried? Sanji had expected her to either not speak to him for weeks or beat his sorry arse up. Maybe even both.

"Nami-san you don't have to worry about me especially now. I'll be fi-"

"No you won't. You obviously feel guilty which is bad enough but you are also trying to come to terms with your new found sexuality which would be hard enough for anyone let alone a self-acclaimed lady's man. Also you are telling the crew." Sanji went to make a protest but Nami beat him to it. " No Sanji-kun you have to tell them I am not doing it for you. It's something only you can do, it's your news. They'll be alright with it you know. If that's what you're worried about" Sanji looked at Nami . How could she be so thoughtful towards him? He looked down with sorrow.

"I just can't Nami-san. I haven't been able to say it out loud once, I just can't say to everyone."

"Okay." Nami thought hard. She needed him to find a way to come out to the rest of the crew. She was never good at this kind of thing. She knew who was though. Now if only she could convince Sanji to tell her…

Zoro: Not exactly a massive cliff hanger, I mean its obvious right?

Luffy: Ehhhhhh? Zoro you know! Tell me! Namida must have told you! Tell me Namida! Please!

No Luffy just wait until I've written the next chapter.
