These three words are hard to speak

just a little story that came to me during a cold winternight.
Disclaimer: i dont own one piece and most likely never will (sigh)

It's just another beautiful day on the 'Thousand Sunny', calm water and not one sign of a cloud at the blue sky.

But there was something extraordinary going on and that was for Nami. The ever happy navigator has locked herself
in her room and from time to time you could hear a sigh from the cabin.

"Why can't I tell him my feelings?" she thought. "Maybe I should just be brutally honest and tell him directly that I love him.
But what if he doesn't love me? What if we lose our friendship? How would he react? Laugh at me? Nah, he is just to kind for that.
Would he tell me that he doesn't love me? But maybe…just maybe he loves me too. There are some smiles that he only smiles at me.
Just thinking about his smiles makes my heart beat like crazy. I've got to calm down."

Nami sighed again while she remembered when she started to like her black-haired captain.

"I think it was the moment when he destroyed my torture chamber in the Arlong Park. That was the first time my heart felt lighter
when I looked at him. He destroyed it for me, for me not to suffer anymore. After this incident my love for him grew more and more.
When I fell sick his clumsy tries to make me feel better made me fall in love with him more and more. He climbed a mountain during a blizzard
just to take me to a doctor. That's one of the reasons I think he likes me too. But I'm to afraid to ask him.

During our adventure at Water7 I had hard to fight to hide my blushing face when he grabbed me to escape the workers. When he has beaten Lucci
and the Navi battleships were about to shoot him I screamed out in fear. I didn't want to lose him. Luckily the Merry rescued us.
On Thriller Bark I knew that he would rescue me, me and all his nakama. His concern for his nakama is another reason why I love him.

But I want to be more to him than just a nakama. I want to hug him, only him and kiss him. Tell him that I love him. But these three words are hard to speak."

Nami sighed again and her thoughts started to circle about her worries how he would react.

Suddenly there was a knock at her door.

"Who is there" she asked. "It's me, Luffy." a voice answered.

So, how do you like the story so far? If I get at least 5 reviews I'll post the next chapter.
