A Lovely Trick
Summary: A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous. - Ingrid Bergman

Zoro's POV
Again. That girl, no, woman is shouting at him again. Can't he take a nap peacefully in this boat? I wonder what she's rambling about. Honestly, I don't want to listen to her constant shouting but I ain't got a choice. So I opened one eye and look at her. She's towering over me. Her skimpy skirt barely hides her long legs which are in front of my face and her top hardly covering her very developed chest. I opened another eye and look at her straight to the face, straight to her eyes. She didn't stop talking and I didn't stop staring. She must be surprised when I said,
"What should I do to make you stop shouting Nami?"
She stops shouting then, and look at me quizzically. I look back at her. I know her. She is just trying to be strong all the time, trying to be a bitch all the time, so that she won't have to feel vulnerable. I know her pains and the burdens she is carrying in her heart. I knew because she told me on that one night a long time ago. Back then I vowed to protect her, not just from physical pain, but also from the emotional pains she is carrying. But how can I protect her and help her if she's being a real bitch towards me. If only she would stop, then I could have the chance to tell her what I feel. If only…
Nami's POV
Arghh. What the hell is wrong with this man? Why can't he just listen to me sometimes? I know I'm really hard on him, but what could I do? I don't know how to hide this feeling that is starting to grow inside me whenever I'm around him. Since that night a long time ago, when we shared to each other the hidden and suppressed memories of our past, I can't stop but look at him in a different light. I promised to myself that I will help him heal and that I would protect him too the best that I can. But how can I do that if he's looking at me like that. That look of pure boredom and irritation. I can't stop myself from shouting at him. Then he broke my speech with his little question. But that didn't stop me from shouting at him. He opened both of his eyes now and we are having a staring contest. If only I could just tell him my feelings then maybe…If only…
Zoro stood up suddenly surprising Nami. And the unexpected happen. The swordsman kisses the navigator with all his might, preventing the girl from speaking anymore. The rest of the crew was staring at them, but Zoro doesn't care.
After all,
Nami's kissing him back…
