Her Other side

Chapter I: The beginning

Nami sat in a small clearing in the forest facing the sea. Keeping a flower in her lap as she thought out loud: "Does he like me? I like him.... does he know I like him?". Idly she tugged single leaves of the flower, one at a time as she pondered her time away, as the sun slowly sank into the ocean Nami decided she'd have to go back to the ship, dinner would soon be ready after all, and she didn't want to keep him waiting, as she knew the chef wouldn't let anyone touch the food until she was back, unless it was Robin of course, she chuckled silently at the thought of the chef swooning over Robin the way only he could. She was envious that the man she loved was too mysterious to show his feelings like that, if somewhat thankful he didn't go to such extremes as Sanji. She never would have loved him if he did that. As she pondered, she came to the border of the forest and walked slowly into the quaint little town they were anchored at. The faint sounds of drunken yelling erupting from all the bars in sight. They disgusted her, as odd as it seemed, her opinion about pirates hadn't changed at all since she became one herself. He was the only trustworthy pirate she'd ever known, and as such, naturally gathered a trustworthy crew to join him on his journey to fulfill all their hopes and dreams. But her dreams had changed since him. The change came slowly at first, the importance of her money slowly dwindling as she started to care more about her crew. Slowly but surely her dreams had centered around one man, and he turned into the most important person in her life. She hadn't realized it at first but she started to love him, and when she realized it, she felt so stupid to not have noticed it all along. He saved her from a life of betrayal and sorrow, but the love she felt wasn't because she owed him so much. It was because of his warm personality that melted the hearts of those around him, his simple amazement at the simplest things, and his unending love and care for every one of them. She felt warm inside every time he fought to protect her, facing more dangerous opponents every time so he wouldn't lose any of them. A blush glowing brightly on her face as she walked trough the streets, ignoring the noise coming from the bars as she muttered:" Luffy.... will you ever be mine?"

She continued walking and reached a dark, quiet part of town. She didn't like the atmosphere here, but it was the only way to the harbor without having to go through narrow alleys and thief hideouts. She suddenly stopped at an intersection as she heard footsteps as if someone was running toward her. The intersection was dark and damp, vines growing along the walls and a single flickering street light standing tall next to a wall. She considered running as the shadow of a man drew closer, until a flicker from the streetlight briefly illuminated the figure she immediately recognized as her Captain. She instantly grew hot inside, frantically brushing her clothes for dirt as the figure finally recognized her and came running right at her, waving his hands excitedly as he shouted her name like he was a mile away.

"Nami! Nami! Good to see you, I'm lost cuz it's so biiiiiiiiiiig here!" The ever present piece of meat in his hand as he regularly took a bite out of it."

A small smile appeared on her face as she watched his exaggerated features as he smiled loudly at seeing her. Her cheeks growing uncomfortably hot at the thoughts she had just had. Shaking it off she decided to say hello back to him.

"Oh hello Luffy, come it's this way."

As they walked next to each other trough the narrow streets Nami was savouring the moment of alone time they had, even thought it wasn't a romantic one at all. Suddenly she got swept up by a man out of a nearby alley. He immediately put a knife to her throat. The man was hairy all over and had a burly body to intimidate his foes. She could tell from the way he looked at Luffy that he was sizing him up and that he obviously thought from luffy's frame that he could easily take the small guy. From the situation she quickly understood that this was a robbery and she couldn't pry herself loose from the man

"Hold still Missy, and no one will get hurt. Unless your boyfriend here tries something of course"

Luffy stood there, in fighting position his eyes breathing fire, she automatically shivered from the intensity of his gaze, and the man involuntarily moved back a few inches, obviously not knowing who he had against him in this robbery. As the man blinked Luffy jumped into action, grabbing the knife and throwing it behind him as he kicked the man's arms away from her and brought her to safety, before doing a backflip and landing in front of the man, planting his fist in his face as he kicked him so hard that blood came flying out of his mouth.

Nami stood watching, her face red from her intense blush as she watched on in a daze. The man she loved beating up the bad guys as in a perfect story, as the man fell on the ground nearly dead she approached him, and as he turned around to her she embraced him, in a girly manner to her saviour. As he fell down on his back with her on him, she could feel his heartbeat quicken her bountiful bossom touched him, she held him tight.

Luffy for his part just lay dazed on the floor, he had no idea what was going on, but it felt unbelievably good to him. His mind wandered to Nami as she lay on him there holding him tightly. Their warmths converging in the cold night.

After an hour passed he slowly stood up , she was still holding him as they slowly walked back to the ship. He held her tightly now. Not wanting this moment to end anytime soon. It was strange to him, he was used to feeling really good but this time it was a way of feeling good that he had never experienced before. He had never felt the desire to hold Nami like this, yet it seemed only natural to him now that it actually happened, with a blank look on his face he decided it was a mystery feeling and just decided to enjoy it.

Nami was completely satisfied, lying there with him on the floor had been good but now that he wrapped his strong arms around her delicate frame she'd melted instantly in his arms, her faces glowing red as she enjoyed every moment of their passionate embrace. She knew she had the time to do so, as the ship would be at least another hour away from them at this speed. As the moon rose to the sky and the stars appeared, she decided this was right, and the romance she had silently asked for had been given to her.

As they neared the ship it she thought it was time for action, she knew that Sanji would be worried sick and on the lookout for her so he couldn't see them like this. The bastard would have luffy go without food for weeks because of this, yet she wasn't ready to let go of him just yet. Smiling against his chest she pulled him into an alley. Stopping instantaneously as she wondered how she'd explain this her instinct decided to just go for it, explaining would come later. She pushed him into a wall as she put her arms around his neck, pulling his head closer to hers as their lips inched closer together. She saw the blank look on Luffy's face. He was obviously wondering what exactly she was trying to do. Suddenly she pushed her head forward to his, their lips touching as she gasped into his mouth from the sudden feelings that erupted withing her, as if lightning struck her, her entire body started tingling to the sensation emanating from her lips, moaning into his mouth as she drove off into bliss. She hungrily moved her lips against his, triggering an instinctive reaction on his part, as his mouth and tongue moved in reaction to the pleasure from the smooth skins of their lips touching. He put his hands on the small of her back as he too pulled her closer, she stood ready to let him do that exactly. His mouth reacted, as if it was synced with hers. Their thoughts colliding and mixing, feelings exploding and reforming. Words shattering to pieces in their minds, before being reformed into another word. The world had stopped moving the moment they touched, and the dark seemed darker, and the lights seemed brighter. As their brains were running at a thousand miles an hour. As she grabbed onto him tighter, trying in vain to pull him even closer, as they pulled each other as close as physically possible. They both reveled in the joy they were feeling. Neither of them really sure why they kissed. Her lips parted as his tongue entered her mouth. Instinctively exploring it's new territory, feeling the walls until it came across her tongue. She reacted, as if battling his tongue for her territory as an epic battle of passions ensued.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Where are they, for God's sake" Muttered Zoro loudly, his voice gruff as ever, a hungry tione underlying his voice as he was clearly to hungry to be actively angry at the two.

Sanji looked worried about them though when he finally spoke, putting his cigarette down as he looked out into the town, something else became apparent:" I Hope nothing happened to my Nami-swan..."

Chopper sat on the floor, his eyes watery as he worried about them loudly: "Maybe they got eaten by a sea king, or a giant goldfish."

Robin, however wasn't worried about the captain and the navigator at all, as she looked into the dark streets, illuminated only by the occasional streetlight giving a soft glow onto the streets. Only expressing the creepiness of this town at dark, she only smiled, knowing that all their worries were unfounded, while still unsure about the reason of their delayed arrival, Luffy would never be late for dinner. And Nami shouldn't get lost

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

As the sun finished it's round of the land and finally completely left the island engulfed in darkness. The town was more or less quiet, except for 2 figures of course, their passions still converging and burning with the heat of the stars they saw in the sky. Their breathing was ragged and uneven as their bodies passionately moved against each other, more instinctive that reasonable. After fifteen minutes of heated making out their mouth finally disconnected, leaving them both panting as they looked speechless into each other's eyes. The scenery around them slowly coming into focus as they realized they had been standing in a dark alley for fifteen minutes, kissing each other roughly. Luffy looked confused, of course. While Nami had a content little smile on her face, as if she had finally gotten what she'd wanted, not entirely untrue perhaps.

After five more minutes of staring at each other they finally disbanded their embrace. And mutually decided to slowly make their way over to the ship, holding hands as they walked through the darkness of the ship.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

As they neared their ship they slowly released their hands, as they didn't feel like having Sanji make a scene again. The ship finally came into sight as Luffy's stomach roared, miraculously however, he didn't start running for the ship as soon as he smelled the food. He kept walking next to her, as they finally arrived

"There are you guys! I missed you so much!" Chopper bawled from the ship.

Sanji's eyes instantly turned into hearts as he tried to embrace her, only being nervously pushed away by her. As she turned around she saw that Luffy wasn't too happy with the chef's passionate behavior. It was only a flash but she saw his eyes grow cold and intense for just a second. She shivered and instantly grew hot inside, as it made her remember the moment they had just shared. A very faint blush decorating her white cheeks.

"Where the HELL were you guys, I'm starving!" The swordsman roared. His eyes spitting fire as he looked at the two of them, enraged from food deprivation.

"I'm hungry. Let's Eat!" Luffy yelled, having recovered from his moment of jealousy.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

As they finally sat down to eat. The table covered with all sorts of food, and large amounts of it too. They all gasped in wonder of the feast that had been prepared for them, and Sanji stood there with a smuck grin as he knew they would really enjoy his dinner. After forcefully restraining Luffy and Zoro from eating before the ladies sat down they finally started to eat. And soon this feast, will turn into a party.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

As they all settled down to go to bed, brushing their teeth before lying down in their hammocks. Only two persons couldn't sleep. One in wonder, and one in longing. As Luffy stepped out of his hammock, not being able to sleep anyway he went outside. As always sitting down on the rams head. Looking at the silver path reflected by the water, as It formed a path to the horizon. Listening to the distant squawking of the seagulls settling in for the night. Enjoying the peace and quiet that nature offered every night, providing people who couldn't sleep with a perfect place to think things over before going to sleep. He was, of course, thinking about the little incident with Nami. He still had absolutely no idea why she grabbed him like that, and he definitely didn't know what had happened exactly. He only knew that it felt good and through Luffy-logic that makes things good. Even thought his mind told him this must be kind of a big deal since it was the first time anything like this has happened to him. He just couldn't find out what was so bad about it. It felt good right? He was also wondering about the sudden feelings that boiled up in him when Sanji tried to hug Nami. He had felt inexplicably angry about a thing that the chef obviously tries about five times a day. And he also noticed that Nami's reaction to the hug was a bit more extreme than usual. Usually she wouldn't actively resist, but only hold him off so that he couldn't complete the hug. He found it especially strange that he noticed this fact. He was never a person to take notice of many things, especially things concerning details.

Suddenly he was surprised as he heard a door open and close behind him, deciding it was probably one of the crew who had to go to the bathroom he decided not to look until he heard sneaking sounds. Slowly turning around he saw Nami of all persons, standing flustered by the door of the men's room, not noticing his presence whatsoever. She was wearing nothing but her black underwear and a scarlet nightgown, loosely hanging around her delicate frame He kept on watching her as the beautiful, normally confident navigator looked around warily, undoubtedly hesitating. As she looked around once again she finally saw him looking at her she gasped softly, a heavy blush appearing on her cheeks, while at the same time a broad smile flashed across her face as she slowly made her way down to the deck, approaching him ever so slightly. As the floorboards softly creaked with her pending arrival, he could feel anticipation boiling up in his body, his entire body and soul wondering what she would do. When she finally reached him she walked up to him, stopping hesitantly just before him, not being able to muster the courage to did what she did so casually not to long ago. Luffy looked at her, eyes wide open, his mind stopped temporarily as he froze, Then after his mind had resumed functioning, he asked softly: "Nami, what happened earlier?"

She froze at hearing his words, didn't he remember? She didn't think she would have the courage to do something like that again. She felt the sadness and anger rising slowly, as she trembled softly, asking him: "W-what do you mean Luffy?" He looked surprised as he gathered his thoughts together, only slightly noticing the tremble in the girl before him. Before he finally spoke:" Well, after I saved you we did something, I don't know what it's called.... but it felt really good. But ever since that i've had a strange feeling in my stomach. So I want to know why, I can't sleep because of it." Relief flashing in her eyes she smiled inwards, knowing that he didn't forget or anything. She thought of her next step, after all Luffy's reaction was always unpredictable. And she decided to explain: "Luffy that was a kiss, and that weird feeling means that your body is trying to tell you something". She said, deliberately omitting that it meant he had feelings for her. She decided that he would figure it out for himself. : what does it make you feel like doing Luffy?"

He stared at her with empty eyes for a while before finally saying: "it makes me feel like..... being close to you for some reason." He said, stepping toward her hesitantly, taking her in his arms slowly as her eyes widened considerably, and her cheeks suddenly flaring with color as her eyes reached maximum size before quickly fluttering closed as she just enjoyed the closeness between them. He looked very content with himself and decided to hold her closer, meeting with absolutely no resistance he felt strangely satisfied. The feeling in his gut slinking down to fraction of it's size. After the moment had laster for a good 5 minutes, Luffy spoke again softly:"Nami, what could this feeling mean?"

Alright that's it for now. I wasn't quite satisfied with thjis chapter, I had the idea that it felt a bit forced. I wouldn't have got it done without the motivation of reading the reviews for my last fanfic I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in a long time but I was busy and couldn't think of new ideas. More is acoming. With smut of course. I Luv smut.
