Whimsical Kisses

# 10

"Hey," Nami called out when she spotted a tall figure lurking in the shadows underneath her mikan trees. "Whatever are you doing there?"

Zoro merely cocked an eyebrow at her before raising his hands in mock surrender, even as one of them is holding onto a bottle of high grade sake the older members of the crew gifted him earlier. "I'm not planning to steal from your trees if that's what you're worried about."

"Good." The navigator folded her arms across her chest as she regarded him suspiciously. "I'll do more than charge you."

"Tch!" Zoro made a disapproving sound as he uncorked the bottle of his drink. "I'm just here to relax and enjoy this stuff."

Nami relaxed a little at that, yet her hands remained across her chest as she tilted her head to study him.

The swordsman's loud and lively birthday dinner had just finished. The casualties—namely their crew members who easily got drunk after their third or fourth tankard—were now safely tucked in their respective bunks dead to the world.

Robin disappeared into the room she shared with her; Franky went down his own below the decks… probably to tinker on whatever he weapon he was presently developing. Brook and Jinbei both had tonight's watch and was currently enjoying a relaxing cups of tea in the galley before heading to their respective posts as Sanji scrubbed his kitchen spotless.

She was heading towards the bath for a warm, relaxing dip in the tub before she call it a night when she spotted the green-haired celebrant silently lingering on the upper deck.

Nami bit her cheek before moving towards him. Zoro paused halfway to bringing the bottle to his lips, watching her cautiously.

"Are you seriously hiding out here?" She asked with as she stood in front him, arms akimbo. He continued to eye her warily as she rolled her brown orbs at him. "No one's gonna ask you for your precious sake. Most are already drunk from earlier after all."

He stared pointedly at her and she frowned.

"I'm already good idiot!" She almost snarled at him, forgetting that she promised herself earlier that she's going be nice to him today. "I've drank enough!"

Zoro shrugged. "You'll never know…"

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

Another shrug before he took a hefty gulp from the bottle.

"Gosh Zoro, you're such greedy drunkard."

"Right back at you greedy woman!" He countered right after he swallowed the liquor. "Ah! That's the stuff!" He grinned as he stared at the bottle apparently liking the gift.

Nami wrinkled her nose in a disgusted gesture. Yet she didn't missed the way his face lit up at the drink.

A smile pulled at her lips and she just shook her head unbelievingly.

Look how happy he is. Gosh this man just loves his alcohol so much!

She should've gotten him that bottle in the town's liquor store earlier. She pondered for a good half an hour if he deserves something nice from her for his birthday, but she saw Robin and Franky walked passed by the store's window with a bottle of quite an expensive sake.

She hesitated and then made up her mind not to get him anything alcoholic. The whole crew probably thought of giving him booze.

So she decided to just be nice to him today… and deduct an itty bitty part of his current debt to her as a gift.

But watching him right now, enjoying his drink in the silent and cool night under her trees and stars…

… maybe she should've gotten for it him.

Too late for that now though. But she could still… give him something.

"Fine," she breathed out. "You can use my space to relax and enjoy yourself."

Zoro looked surprised at her offer and at what she said. "Your space?"

"Yeah," she pointed at her trees. "Mine moron remember?"

The katana wielder had the gall to scoff.

"I'm trying to be nice Zoro do not make me kick you on your birthday."

"Fine woman. Thanks a lot."

"Consider this my gift."

The corners of his lips quirked up. And Zoro looked utterly amused by that. "Really now?"

"Uh-huh." Nami nodded. "I'm feeling generous tonight."

"Wow."

"You can drink and relax under my trees and I'll make sure no one disturbs you."

Zoro grinned. "Not bad woman."

She smiled and with a flick of her wrist, she threw something at him.

He caught it with one hand. And his grin turned wide when he realized that she had thrown him one of her precious tangerines.

"Happy Birthday Zoro."

"Thanks Nami."

In a blink of an eye, she was beside him, one hand pressing his cheek towards her as she planted a kiss on the other.

He blushed. A damn good shade of red.

Nami grinned, patting his cheek twice before walking away with a wave, leaving him frozen on the spot.

– The End –

R and R please.
