This is will be my collection of One Piece drabbles. Mostly Luffy/Nami, of course. Oh, who can blame me?
The Tale of Pie
Even the closest of friends fight over something utterly ridiculous. Like a can of food, or little orange trees, or hair. All you wanted was for the other to understand what you meant. But sometimes even the smartest of people cannot perceive what their brain signals were trying to transmit to their tongue. You meant "You look nice" but "Oh my goat" comes out of your mouth instead.
Luffy had meant to say "That's a nice pie you have there, Nami" but his arm was evidently much faster than his brain signals, and snatched the pie out of Nami's plate before the "Th-" came out of his mouth.
Nami had been having a bad day. She had meant to say, in a somewhat cynical way, "That's right, go ahead and take it, Luffy" but for some reason her reflex senses was faster than her brain waves, and her fist landed painfully on Luffy's head.
"Damn it, Luffy. Out of all the pies on the table it just had to be mine!"
"Quit whining, Nami. It's just a stupid pie!"
"Stupid pie?" she replied, glaring dangerously at him. "Bellemere used to make pies like that."
Grumbling, Nami stood up and left the table.
Luffy merely shrugged. "Oh, well. Sanji, make me another one!"
The cook glared at him, his leg already high in the air...
Nami opened the door to find that it wouldn't budge half as much as it normally would. She tried to bang it hard against the wall, but it oddly yowled an utter of 'ow!'. Obviously the door couldn't have said that. Something was blocking the door. She turned her head around and saw that 'something' crouching on the floor, his arm stroking the nearly-bump on his hairy black head. She frowned upon it.
"Move, Luffy." Nami said as coldly as she could.
Luffy quickly rose to his feet, shoving a plate to her stomach. "What, don't you want this?"
Nami was about to get mad once again, but then she saw something on the plate. It was a pie, and it smelled fresh from the oven. Perhaps this was Sanji's doing.
"I'm sorry I took your pie, Nami."
Nami glanced at him. "For me?"
"Yeah," Luffy said, his voice a little softer than expected. He had meant to add "Please enjoy them, Nami", the way Sanji had taught him, but what came out was; "You know, I was expecting you'd share!"
Nami had meant to say "Sod off, Luffy!" but instead she said "Sure, come on."
For a moment, both of them looked surprised. But then the moment passed.
