AN: I'm back! This is my first attempt at a One Piece story and I hope I do it justice. FF needs some more Nami\Zoro :) sorry if it's OOC Takes place beore they met Chopper.

I'm going to attempt to make this a multi-chapter drabble...

In a Heartbeat

His swords cut swiftly through the air. Nami could see his deep even breaths and imagines the swords being perfectly in time with his heartbeat. He sliced so quickly and so cleanly that she could imagine the sharp blade cutting the molecules of air in half.

"What are you staring at, witch?" Zoro asked her, then quickly became angry at himself for letting her distract him again.

"Watching you waste time," she replied, "didn't I ask you to wash the dishes?"

"But you're so good at it."

"That's another thousand beri for not doing what I tell you."

Usopp looked at the couple and sighed. He really hoped this didn't escalate to a fight.

Zoro sheathed his swords and walked over to the ginger navigator. "We both know that you'll never really make me pay for everything." He walked so close to her that their chests were touching. Zoro noticed she only blushed slightly in response to this.

"Do you want me to actually start making you pay?" Nami asked, almost seductively. Zoro took a gulp of air.

"I'm afraid I can't pay you in money." Zoro said with a smirk before slowly putting his and around Nami's waist. It felt so different than the hilt of his sword.

Nami replied only by bracing her hands against his chest and slowly leaning into him. It was a few agonizing, tense seconds before their lips finally met.

His lips were rough and chapped but oh, so gentle against her mikan-tasting ones. They both closed their eyes.

Sanji's cigarette dropped from his lips and fell onto the floorboards. A gloomy dark cloud appeared over him.

Meanwhile Usopp was busy trying to hold back Luffy from joining in the embrace.

Nothing will ever be normal.
