LUFFY?!

"Watch it Nami!" Luffy and Ace yelled in unison, as Ace sent a fireball towards the shadowy figure towering over Nami with a threatening smirk. They heard her scream as Luffy flung himself in front of her to try and block the attack.

'I'm gonna kill you Ace', as he thought of ways to kill his brother the flames slowly parted around him causing a burn covering Nami's upper arm.

Luffy finally collapsed out of exhaustion as Ace sprinted towards the pair. They both heard a mutter from luffy "I'm gonna kill you...Ace, your too...strong for your...own good." before the captain let himself be taken over by slumber.

Ace quickly sent another fireball towards the shadowy man finishing him off.

Later that night

Nami couldn't sleep, she was too busy thinking about Luffy's injury and how he had protected her. She sighed and got out of bed trying not to wake Robin. She wandered down to the infirmary to see if Luffy was awake or needed anything.

"Luffy?" she said in a loud whisper.

No response.

"Luffy" she said a little louder this time, as she started towards the bed. To her surprise he wasn't there.

"Luffy?" she said as she looked around the room, then it hit her, as simple and plain as it was she mentally cursed herself for not thinking about it sooner. She noticed Luffy's shirt on the back of a chair and grabbed it as she headed out the room and towards the kitchen.

But what she saw almost gave her a heart attack because... Luffy wasn't there!

"H-he's not here" she gasped.

'Chopper must have moved him into the men's cabin so he could check up on him without having to walk to far' she thought.

She stared up at the nights sky, 'It's a full moon tonight' she thought as she decided to take a walk in the town that they were docked at.

As Nami wandered around the completely deserted streets she felt a burning pain rise in her arm. She was distracted when she saw a small dirt track heading towards what looked like a small forrest.

She stopped at the end of the track and gawked in awe.

"It is such an amazingly beautiful OUCH-shit!" she said as she grabbed her arm. 'It wasn't hurting this much before, if my arm hurts like this then I can only imagine what Luffy is going through right now.' she thought as she clutched his shirt tightly in her hand.

Her knees buckled under at the pain of her arm as she sat in front of the lake being lit up beautifully by the moonlight.

"Luffy," she sighed.

Suddenly, a hand came out of nowhere and softly grabbed her shoulder. She jumped a bit but did not turn around. The hand sat their softly but meaningfully on her left shoulder and after a few seconds she realized who it was. She blushed after she remembered that she had just said the young captains name out loud.

"L-Luffy," she stuttered "How are you feeling?"

"Like hell." he replied casually.

Nami starred at the bandages wrapped around his upper body and saw the blood stains on them. That reminded her.

"Oh, Luffy your shirt, you left it in the infirmary." she said handing him his shirt. "It's too cold to be out here without a shirt on." They were on an autumn island so it was still a bit cold.

Nami shivered, it was really cold, she should take her own advice, seeing as she was only in a tank top and her denim three-quarters.

She felt something warm around her shoulders. She turned her head and saw that Luffy had put his shirt on her shoulders. "Nami," he said innocently.

"hmm"

"Chopper said that I have to change my bandages every 7 hours. But I don't want to wake him or the others up," he said nervously.

"Do you want me to change them for you?"

"Y-yes please."

They made their way back to the Thousand Sunny and Nami grabbed the scissors and bandages that Chopper had left out. They sat on the figure head and Nami started cutting at Luffy's back. He flinched.

"Did that hurt?"

"A little."

"I'll cut at the front of you then."

She said softly as she moved in front of him. She started cutting and a blush ran over both their faces.

As she went to go over his shoulder she stopped. "Luffy can you please take off you hat? I cant get the bandage over your shoulder."

She watched him raise his hand to his but went back to bandaging, when she suddenly felt that same hat land on her head. She smiled and went back to work.

Nami had just finished bandaging him up when a really strong breeze came out of nowhere and pushed the already unbalanced Nami off the head of the Sunny. As she struggled to gain her balance she found herself in her captains lap. He had pulled her into him so that she wouldn't fall into the water.

Nami sat up, still in her captains lap, still looking into his deep ebony eyes.

"Y-you all d-done." she said, forcing words to escape her lips. They both got up and jumped down to the deck. Luffy had walked Nami to the women's cabin and was now returning to the head of the Thousand Sunny as he had decided to make that his bed for the night.

Luffy woke at about 1 as he heard Robin jump off the ship, she always took a walk around this time to go and explore the islands they were docked at before the others woke up. Luffy started to walk to the kitchen when he heard a small scream come from the women's cabin. He opened the door (without knocking as usual) to reveal a tossing and turning Nami holding her arm. He slowly made his way to her bed and sat down. He stroked her cheek to give her comfort. After a few minutes she shot up in panic and grabbed onto the first thing she saw, Luffy.

She then noticed what her new 'pillow' was and turned red as she realized what she had done. But even so, she buried her head into his chest and started crying even more. Luffy not sure what to do felt two hands of Robin's pull his arms around her. 'How did she know?" he thought, then he saw an eye fall to the floor and disappear. They stayed in that position for a while until Luffy pulled away. He wiped her tears and grabbed his hat from her night stand and put it on her head. Nami had realized that she had taken it with her, she looked down and saw that she still had his shirt on too.

She blushed intensely and tried to cover her face with his hat. Luffy grabbed her shaking hand, she instantly turned up too look at him and their eyes found their way to the others. Thats when they became lost in their own world, as if they didn't have to talk because their eyes were doing it for them.
