Rejected. Completely and utterly rejected.

Honestly what was wrong with that mosshead falling asleep on her after such a brazen offer. Nami was back to tossing and turning in her bed with thoughts of the strong swordsman racing through her mind. She was going to go to sleep tonight disappointed along with being just a tad bit hurt. Sleep didn't come easy that night due to the less than pure thoughts in her head and the uncomfortable heat between her legs that only seemed to get worst.

Nami couldn't decide what to feel laying there awake once more staring blankly at her ceiling. She was angry, she was upset, she was restless. All thanks to her raging hormones and that stupid Zoro. She always knew that he was dim but she never knew he was this dim. Nami wasn't taking what had happened not too long ago well.

Was sleep really more important than what she had just offered him? Sanji would give an arm and a leg for a night with the busty orange-haired beauty, Brook would give the same just to see her panties. Luffy was as pure of heart as ever but even he was impressed with how endowed her chest had become over the two years apart.

Then there was that stupid swordsman, just as apathetic as the day she met him. Indifferent to everything so much so Nami always wanted to sock him. His lax personality drove the navigator crazy, it made her furious. But this was on a whole other level than the other occasions she has been crossed with him. As things stood Nami might push him overboard once the morning came.

Once the sun began flooding in through her bedroom window her scorn had quelled if only somewhat. Nami was running on little sleep so the cute navigator was naturally grumpy as well. What a terrible night she had. Once she got dressed she headed onto the deck, the scent of the sea greeted her, the wind was blowing just right too. Well at least the weather wouldn't be another thing to frustrate her today.

"Nami!" The excited voice was easy to identify as her captain. Luffy was sitting on the railing above her, at least he seemed to be in high spirits as well. "You look like crap!"

As reckless as ever her captain, putting himself in harm's way like that. The vein in Nami's temple pulsed her hand clenched into a fist. Sure she was running on little sleep and sure at the moment she wasn't the cutest girl in the world. But never ever tell the navigator that she looks like crap. Nami was marching up the stairs to follow through on this urge at least to throw the captain overboard.

Once more her urges were denied. Sanji beat her to Luffy bursting through the kitchen door putting a boot to Luffy's head sending the strawhat flying across the deck.

"Don't listen to that fool!" Sanji exclaimed folding his hands together and swaying his body when focusing his attention onto Nami. "You look incredible as always, Nami-swaaaan!~"

Her attention was already focused elsewhere however, she ignored the cook gushing over her directing her eyes to Luffy. The captain had traveled through the air from Sanji's powerful strike before crashing into Zoro's nest high above the deck. "Hmph." Nami smirked a bit. It served the mosshead right for what was done last night, he didn't deserve anymore rest it wasn't like she got any.

"Nami stop bothering me..." A half asleep Zoro's hoarse voice grumbled from above. Nami felt a mixture of horror and unbelievable anger upon hearing the comment. Dammit. That swordsman was really asking for it now.

"I thought I was going to die..." Luffy whined to his first mate.

.oO1Oo.

The morning dragged on at an unbearably slow pace, Nami was growing more and more impatient with the green-haired swordsman. How much longer was that lazy pirate planning on sleeping? Nami was leaning against the railing with her arms folded shooting a cold look up at Zoro's room. Whatever the case may have been the fact was Zoro was taking too long. The navigator was dead set on confronting him about their brief encounter last night.

Though as the minutes wore on Nami was tired of waiting for him, why should she wait for him after all? Without a second thought Nami marched over to Zoro's hideout like last night she climbed the ladder up into his round room. To her surprise the first mate wasn't sleeping at the moment. He was upside down balancing himself on the tip of his index finger doing push-ups far too easily.

It was an impressive sight sure but it wasn't enough to rid Nami of her pent-up anger. Her heels clicked against the floor as she strolled over to the upside down Zoro. His one good eye glanced up at her for just a moment before he followed through with the next set of push-ups.

"Are you ignoring me now?!" Nami asked placing the heel of her shoe on Zoro's butt attempting to push the swordsman off balance. That didn't work at all, Zoro didn't budge even though he was on one finger. In fact it was Nami who almost lost her balance and fell over when Zoro sprang back onto his feet. The navigator fumed watching Zoro coolly walk over to the towel that was hanging up.

"I can't break my regime, Nami." Zoro stated flatly wiping sweat away from his perfectly sculpted scarred chest. "Tell the others I'll be down when I'm down, it can't be helped."

"That isn't what I'm here for you moron!" Nami roared back at him. Really how oblivious could a man be? "I want you to know if you tell anyone about... Last night." Nami lowered her voice to a whisper before uttering the last two words. "I'll kill you. I mean it."

"Tsk." Zoro gritted his teeth turning away from her beginning to dry his damp green hair. Nami felt like killing him even more right then and there! He tsked her, he turned his back on her. She wasn't the nuisance here. If it wasn't for her horrid urges to take him Nami wouldn't bother with the idiot at all. "Stop playing around." Zoro growled irritably.

"I'm not playing around." Nami hissed back at him narrowing her hues on the swordsman threateningly. Zoro obviously didn't feel threatened however. He left it at that sitting down on the floor to begin meditating, well, what he called meditating what Nami called ignoring her. She marched back over to the man placing her heel on top of his head placing pressure down on it. "Dammit Zoro!"

.oO2Oo.

"So you did go after the swordsman." Robin smiled slightly spinning around in her chair to face Nami who once again had come for advice. Zoro had been frustrating her so much she didn't know what else to do but talk to Robin. The ravenette seemed rather pleased that Nami had chosen to come back. The navigator didn't know if that was a good or bad sign.

"Is that who you thought I'd choose?" Nami huffed folding her arms under her chest a tiny blush colored the bridge of her nose. "What made you think I'd choose at all? This is totally wrong."

"Is it really?" Robin asked back before answering the question Nami had asked. That mischievous smirk that Nami was starting to know all to well curved Robin's lips. "I had suspicions, also if it were me I would have selected the swordsman. Though I must admit the captain has his qualities." Once more Robin's bold words left the orange-haired navigator speechless for a few moments.

"Are we really talking about this?" Nami felt flustered all over again avoiding Robin's eye contact at all cost. The ravenette responded with a soft chuckle and a dismissive wave of the hand.

"I think it is quite alright." Robin reassured Nami sweetly. "Though we should get back to the swordsman. I thought he'd be the most challenging too, he didn't disappoint I see."

"He is just an idiot." Nami shot back bitterly. The younger girl took a few paces forward to lean against the wall next to Robin, if truth be told all this talk was starting to make her feel a little weak at the knees.

"I wouldn't say that. I thing he is a lot more clever than people give him credit for." Robin reasoned with that smirk still etched onto her features. Nami huffed turning her nose up at the ravenette for the sudden praise of Zoro. "Don't think Zoro hasn't seen the way you toy around with Sanji. He is too proud of a man to let himself fall victim to such a charm. I'll admit that he is a little slow on the uptake but that won't last much longer."

"Who says I even want him anymore." Nami bluffed keeping her eyes from meeting Robin's as she did so.

"I hadn't thought of that." Robin admitted turning her chair back to her desk. "But if you were still interested I'd tell you that you haven't given him a reason to take you seriously yet. All you have to do navigator is give him a reason to take you seriously."

.oO3Oo.

It seemed like an easy enough task so Nami thought that she should try it. She kept telling herself she was doing it because it was so simple not because of Zoro. But that was only what the orange-haired beauty told herself. It was almost dinner time and Nami was waiting at the bottom of Zoro's bird nest, all she had to do was make sure her intentions got through crystal clear.

Nervousness was bubbling in the pit of her stomach yet at the same time excitement electrified her bones. She was waiting for the swordsman to come down onto the deck from there she would confront him once more. Hopefully this encounter would go better than this morning.

"Robin-chaaaan! Nami-swaaaan!" Sanji's voice was coming from inside the ship, he was their dinner bell. On cue the mosshead jumped out of his nest landing in front of her. Zoro's back was to her so he hadn't yet noticed the navigator's presence. Nami hesitated, she wasn't sure if she was ready for this, she considered just letting him walk away.

The thought of him rejecting her was a scary one. She hadn't even thought about the possibility until the moment of truth. It was this thought that made Nami pause for a moment but it was her needs that urged her forward. Without giving herself another moment to think the orange-haired beauty went into action.

Her arms hooked around Zoro's waist pulling him back into her, the swordsman tensed for a moment but quickly relaxed again. He growled annoyed that someone was stepping between himself and his food. Nami could care less about what the swordsman wanted, she had waited long enough. Her hands smoothed over his tanned stomach softly while she stood on her tiptoes to make sure her hot breath danced across the flesh of his neck.

"Zoro.~" She purred softly inciting another growl from the male. Her palms pushed his waist back into her a bit more so her large breasts would be snug against his back.

"You witch." Zoro murmur under his breath. Despite the swordsman words he didn't move one step or attempt to get away from her urgent hands. Her teeth lightly nibbled at his earlobe, her tongue flicking at the sensitive flesh occasionally.

"I told you to fuck me." She hummed into his ear. To her surprise Nami felt Zoro shiver against her after that blunt proposal, it thrilled her. Pleased with his reactions so far the navigator tugged at his belly warmer pulling it down his waist before her warm palms returned to his torso. With that much done she was set on continuing this, she made a come hither motion gesturing for the normally stoic swordsman to turn around to face her.

Zoro obliged her without a word, Nami grinned at his changed demeanor. "Oh.~ You learn quick." Nami taunted to which Zoro gritted his teeth together obviously feeling a little embarrassed. It was sort of cute, Nami noted that before continue her endeavor. Once again she stood on her tiptoes to place wet kisses across his throat, she felt the rumbling of a deep groan against her plump lips. That made her smirk wider.

Her fingertips grazed the skin of his stomach, leaving a small trail of scratches with her nails. Zoro tried to make his first move then running one of his rough palms over her bare lower back. "No touching." Nami hissed up at him. The man under her spell immediately retracted his hand.

"Mhm.~" Nami purred again leaning forward into the man pressing her sizable chest into his body once more. She was pleased with the fact that her bikini top slowly began to slide down. She glanced up at the swordsman to see his mouth slightly agape, his eyes had darkened with hidden desire. She could tell that the dense man had finally got the message. Nami wasn't going to stop just yet though.

Her glossy pink lips went back to attacking his throat and under his chin. Nami's soft palms traveled lower down Zoro's tan body daringly passing his belly button, he began squirming a bit under her touch at that point. Her fingers curled around his waistband teasingly pulling it lower, she teased further giving him a breathy little moan against his neck.

"Nami!" The shout came from inside the ship it was Luffy. Nami's skillful hands stopped moving, the lips against Zoro's throat pulled away only slightly. "Where are you?! Sanji won't let us eat until you do!" With that Nami gave Zoro a rough shove backwards her playful eyes met his defeated ones.

"Hmph.~" Nami hummed proudly readjusting her bikini top before leaving the swordsman like that. She had given him a reason to take her seriously.

Zoro didn't show up for dinner that night.
