Whimsical Kisses
# 12
Nami stretched her body languidly… the toes of her feet rubbing soothingly against her soft bed as she basked in her slow awakening.
It was still the wee hours of the morning and the ship was ever so silent. Her roommate still hasn't returned—not that Robin has any plans on sleeping after holing herself up in the library to dive into the history books she got in town earlier.
Nami didn't mind. After all, with Robin pre-occupied, she can easily roped her other unofficial roommate into spending the night in her room… and on her bed.
She lazily turned to her left. Beside her Zoro stirred but did not awaken.
Her lips curled into a smile. He was sleeping oh-so-peacefully… breathing evenly sans the snoring.
Her smile widened some more. It actually came as a surprise (and she had just recently realized it), that regardless of how thunderous his snores were whenever he was dozing off in some random area of the ship, he rarely—well, almost never—done so whenever she was snuggled against him.
And she absolutely finds that endearing.
She reached out to brush her thumb against his cheek and rolled her eyes when his brows furrowed slightly. Even unconscious he seemed to find the gesture to sweet for his own taste.
Still he did not wake up; instead he just burrowed his face deeper into her pillow. Yet his arm that was draped lightly around her waist tightened and he unconsciously pulled her closer to him.
The corners of her lips twitched at that.
He looks cute whenever he's like this. A far cry from the always scowling, notorious pirate swordsman that he was known to be.
She brushed her thumb against his cheek again, deliberately stopping just where the scar that marred his face and forever stole half of his sight ended.
She could never gaze at that steely, gray eye anymore. Nor can it stare back at her whether in defiance or irritation or with that rarely seen fondness reserve only for her.
Nami leaned closer, softly planting a kiss on the scarred eye, deliberately making it linger as if that gesture would give back what was lost.
She let her lips grazed the skin right under it before giving him another kiss.
A muffled groan came from the green-haired man. "Nami…" Zoro mumbled sleepily, with his eye still closed. Yet his hand began to stroke the small of her back.
"Mmm… just go back to sleep." She whispered as he pulled her much closer to him this time before falling back to sleep almost instantly.
Nami snuggled against him contentedly, before letting sleep pull her as well, savoring the feeling of being safely tucked in her swordsman's arms.
– The End –
R and R please.
