I've got writer's block :/ Or maybe it's just laziness. I don't know. Then how did I write this, you ask? I thought maybe writing a one shot would get me in the writing mood. Usually I have to force myself to start writing, and then I end up enjoying it. This also applies to physical exercise, jumping off cliffs into water, meeting people, grocery shopping, etc etc.

So here's some pointless drabble to brighten up your day and amuse you! Don't you just love it~ :3

Sweet… like Honey

"… so you're not busy."

"Nope."

"No maps?"

"Nope."

"No cutting mikan trees?"

"Nope."

"No doing that weird, weather sensing thing you do?"

"For cripes sake, I don't do it it's just a feeling I get sometimes. And for the last time I'm not doing anything! All my chores are done. I have the entire afternoon off for once."

But he still looked at me skeptically. I rolled my eyes.

"Why don't you believe me?"

"Because whenever I ask you to do something with me you're always busy," he pouted.

I suddenly felt guilty. I had been really busy lately, and this had led me to neglect Luffy a little. Ugh. Two months and I was already becoming a bad girlfriend.

'But it's not your fault, you have a lot of responsibility on this ship!' My logical mind argued.

'Well make up for it.' Another voice growled. Man I had to stop thinking in multiple personalities.

"Since I have the afternoon off, I'll spend the rest of the day with you and we can do whatever you want. Is that okay?"

His grin was instantly in place, almost blinding me with it's whiteness. I loved it when something I said made him smile like that.

"Yosh! I have a great idea!" He exclaimed.

Without warning he swooped down and picked me up, expertly swinging me onto his back. I wrapped my legs around his torso in reflex and clasped my arms around his neck so I wouldn't fall off. Before I could blink he had launched us off the edge of the ship and he was running full throttle across the beach, leaving a spray of sand in his wake.

I was breathless. It was scary, but exhilarating at the same time. I knew he could run fast, but I had no idea what it felt like. I guess this was one of the advantages of having Luffy as a boyfriend; super fast transportation. I closed my eyes and let the wind whip at my hair, admiring his physique through our contact, (although I'd never admit to him that I admired it).

After about five minutes he came to an abrupt stop. He set me down on the ground gently but still kept hold of my hand. Standing beside him I took this opportunity to bonk him over the head.

"Nami! What was that for~"

"That was for kidnapping me without warning me first! Now where are we?" I asked looking around, still holding his hand.

We were standing in the middle of a clearing in the forest. It was actually very beautiful, once I stopped to look. The island was an autumn island, so the maples and oaks were ablaze with color. Some burned cherry red, some mikan orange, and a few were the color of dandelions. The leaves on the ground rustled and crinkled as I shifted, reminding me of the sounds after a long day of shopping. The sun shone through the leaves at perfect angles, lighting them afire and streaming through the cracks in surreal lightbeams.

"How did you find this?" I asked Luffy incredulously. He grinned. I was on a roll today.

"Well when you were in the town earlier today getting stuff I went to explore the island. I was just wandering around and I came across this. But there's more."

"More?"

He pointed to an especially tall oak. I spied a large, brown lumpy thing hanging off one it's limbs. Little shapes were hurrying back and forth through the sun rays to enter a little black hole in it's side.

"A beehive?" I questioned.

"Yup! And I'm gonna steal some of their honey." His grin had turned mischevious.

"Baka, won't they sting you?"

"I'm made of rubber, remember?"

Oops. I'd forgotten momentarily. This coming from the girl who had just ridden on his back at fifty miles an hour. If he could bounce a bullet off his chest a little bee sting wouldn't hurt him.

"Stand back." He said, shooing me to the edge of the clearing. I had no objections; I didn't want to be stung.

"Gomu gomu no rocket!" He shouted as he grabbed a limb above the hive and launched himself to perch upon it. He wrapped his legs around the branch and swung upside down, freeing his hands. As he did this something fell out of his pocket, but he stretched out a hand to grab it before it hit the ground.

'A knife?' I thought. Luffy usually had no need for weapons. He preferred his bare hands. He must have brought it along just for this.

Indeed as I watched he opened the knife and began carving a hole in the side of the hive. The bees buzzing became less lazy and more agitated. They began flying in circles around Luffy, swooping in every now and then. I was sure they were trying to sting him, but he paid them no mind. He couldn't feel a thing, but it made me nervous to watch.

Finally he detached part of the hive from it's side. I could see it's liquid content leak out and drip to the ground below. My mouth watered slightly in anticipation.

Luffy reached a hand in and peeled out two handfuls of the sticky stuff. It surprised me that he didn't take any more than that, the greedy little thing. He placed the piece he had cut back where it was. Swinging himself upright, he tucked the folded knife back in his pocket and landed nimbly back on solid ground. The bees seemed to forget that their stores had just been raided, and went back to bustling around gathering and delivering nectar. He made his way over to where I was waiting patiently.

"Impressive, but why didn't you steal more than that?" I raised an eyebrow as he offered me a chunk of honeycomb the size of his hand. I took it and we sat on a rock to munch on them in happiness. "It's enough for me but what about your monstrous appetite?"

He laughed. "Shishishi, I'd need like ten of those hives! But those bees worked really hard to make all that honey, so I'm not gonna rob them of everything."

"That was… really considerate of you." I said, awestruck. Not being able to resist the urge I leaned over and quickly gave him a peck on the cheek, making it a little sticky.

"Shishishi. What was that for?"

"Because you're really sweet, just like this honey." I answered taking another bite.

Without warning he leaned over and kissed me on the lips. Then he pulled away.

"Mmm~ you're sweet too Nami!" He said, licking his lips.

"I better be," I said smiling back at him.

We sat together in our own world, eating honey and watching as the bees flew by. He put a sticky hand in mine and our hands became stuck. We'd have to find honey more often.

I could literally hear the winky face in the last sentence, couldn't you? ;)

I LOVE honey, just sayin. I get a bottle in my stocking for Christmas every year XD Honeycomb's good too, but I just chew it till the honey's gone then spit out the wax :P

So I was thinking of making a series of one shots, like a lot of people have done. I've been reading some lately and I've been inspired (that's right foxchicka17 and nekked, I'm referring to you guys if you're reading this ;) )

So let me know if I should make more fluff for you to eat up. You know how :3
