Nami's eyes were gently closed as she took a long moment to savor the melodic crashing of the waves upon the shore and the way the frothy, foamy waters repeatedly splashed up around her ankles and lower calves. Her yellow sundress fluttered about her knees as the sea breeze continuously caught the fabric, melding it against her body like it was liquid rather than solid cloth. She wiggled her toes into the wet sand, feeling it squish between the digits, and a serene smile washed over her lips with a successive cresting of the waves. The sea truly was her great true love…

But not her greatest.

"Nami." Her head automatically lolled a bit as his voice danced up the ever-shifting wind. He really had such a beautiful voice… deep, sultry, as melodic as the waters crashing about her legs. It never failed to send pleasurable tingles through every nerve she possessed. She did not move from her position but remained within the wind and waves' gentle embraces. She could hear the sand crunching softly under his bare feet as he approached her; there was no need to move. Her lips curled higher upon her cheeks as his muscular arms wound loosely around her waist and he pressed his face into her neck to drop little kisses along her jugular, his dark goatee tickling the sensitive flesh there. "I'm guessing a tropical island getaway is just what the doctor ordered?" Law purred, and she didn't have to look into his golden eyes to know they were glimmering with deep satisfaction.

"Way to gloat," she scoffed in mock disdain while her hand instinctually rose to flutter about the defined edges of his tattooed arms. It had been Law's idea to stop at the uninhabited summer island they had just happened to spot on the map, so she supposed some credit was due. She wouldn't give him the satisfaction of admitting that aloud, however. He snorted into her neck, and the puff of his hot breath over her skin made her purr and arch back into his body. Though he was only holding her and nuzzling into her neck a bit, the man still had the uncanny ability to play her body like an expert musician. Ever the cunning man, the Surgeon of Death. His incendiary wiles and self-confident smirk were but two of the many, many reasons she loved him with every fiber of her being.

One of her hands jumped up to push his fluffy, spotted white hat off his head to cord through the messy raven strands situated beneath. A purr rumbled in the column of his throat and he ran the tip of his nose up her pulsing vein before pressing a lingering, sweet kiss to her temporomandibular joint. "Although, I do admit that this is very nice," she relented after enduring his ministrations for a few more seconds, as it was obvious that he wanted some sort of answer. The smirk she gave him was no less than tongue-in-cheek as she finally opened her eyes halfway to gaze at him. The sunlight just looked marvelous on his tanned skin, making it glow the hue of rich amber. His golden eyes glinted like they were made of the hot rays themselves as he grinned against the slope of her jawline.

"I'm very glad to hear that, Nami." He had dropped the honorific a long time ago. Law and Nami had been together for two years now and had witnessed the upheaval as the world as they knew it together. Law had never left the alliance with Luffy, instead sailing alongside him until journey's end. Though he, as had the rest of the Supernovas, had touted that he was going to claim the mantle of Pirate King for himself, by the time they had reached Laugh Tale, he had long since decided that he was going to let Luffy ascend the imaginary throne himself. Law had discovered a much more valuable treasure for the taking instead- a certain fiery redheaded navigator.

Like a lithe big cat lazily toying with its prey, he straightened up so his face could instead consort with her salt-kissed waves of tangerine hair. Nami's hand slid to the back of his neck, idly playing with the little curly hairs there while he rained kisses against her plush strands. It was rare that Law was so openly affectionate, but then again, they were alone. The two captains still had plenty of adventure remaining in their systems and so had taken to sailing around the rest of the seas to see what trouble they could get into, and currently, the Polar Tang and Thousand Sunny were moored on the other side of the island. Their crews were likely cutting up and acting a fool together, but Law had spirited Nami away to the other side for some much-needed quality time.

Indeed, just what the doctor ordered…

"You're in a good mood," she remarked with a small chuckle as his hands began roaming up and down the curves of her body and his mouth trailed back down to the connection of her jawline and ear. His lips curled into that smirk she knew oh so well and his gleaming eyes laughed back at her.

"Would you rather me be grumpy?"

"You know that's not what I meant," she laughed lightly and looked back at the crashing waters. The sun was setting, and yellow-gold was bleeding across the water below the horizon like a growing puddle of paint. Rich oranges and reds blossomed around the bubbling white sun as it was slowly overtaken by the horizon. The clouds were like globs of lavender and purple cotton candy floating in the upper atmosphere, and in the glimpses of violet night sky Nami could already see a few stars sparkling into existence. As she sighed in contentment, she bonked her head lightly against Law's. "It's a beautiful sunset, isn't it?"

"Doesn't compare to the sunset I see every day," he remarked while holding up a thick swathe of her tangerine-hued hair. Nami felt a blaze of blush bloom over her cheeks at the off-handed compliment; even now, two years into their courtship, he could still so easily fluster her with comments that just rolled off his tongue like oozing honey. His eyebrows jumped a little with the satisfaction that he had indeed disquieted her.

"Yes, Law, it was smooth. Congratulations," she huffed, trying to save face but blushing more with the realization she had to try and seem unperturbed at all. His chuckle was low and rumbling as he hugged her tighter against his body, grinning like a Cheshire cat. His long fingers toyed with the bouncy curled ends of her hair with sluggish abandon. Nami allowed her eyes to flutter shut once more so she could savor the soft caresses he delivered to her body, like he was a reverent king worshipping his radiant queen. She chuckled a little at the image of Law with a jeweled crown on his head rather than his signature hat; he looked more the picture of a disrespectful, moody prince than a lordly king.

"What's so funny?" breathed in her ear while his hands locked around her waist, slowly but adamantly turning her body such that she would face him. Nami resisted not his silent command, only adjusted her arms so that they were loosely wound about his neck. She opened her eyes to smirk at him coyly again, meeting his curious and loving gaze.

"You're doting on me too much."

"I think I'm doting on you a reasonable amount, considering how gorgeous you are." He punctuated the retort with a generous squeeze of her rear thigh. Nami's eyebrows shot up her forehead at the completely unbridled flirtation, while Law just smirked devilishly as if that was all he needed to satiate her. Well, he wasn't wrong. Suddenly, he was leaning forward to press his forehead affectionately to hers, golden irises shining into her own warm brown depths. "I love you," he breathed suddenly, longingly, like he was missing her even though she was right there in his arms. Nami was about to inquire what brought it on when suddenly he was reaching up to pull her left arm down, and she gasped when she felt cold metal meet the tip of her ring finger. He tilted his head a little, lips ghosting over her own as he pushed the engagement ring down to her knuckle. "Marry me, Nami. Be mine for the rest of time."

Nami didn't know how the girls in all the stories did it, how they just screamed and started yelling, "Yes, yes, of course I will!" because a great big lump forming in her throat choked any response she could have made. She exhaled shakily as she looked down at the glittering diamond ring adorning her left third ringer, and then her heart swelled up twice the size of the blockage in her trachea because the diamond was styled in the shape of a little tangerine. She sniffed and let out a miserable-sounding coo as she admired the way the last glimmers of the sunlight refracted off the diamond's crystalline edges. Her mind was traveling a hundred miles a second and yet frozen in place, leaving her rigid and unable to do anything but stare at the engagement ring with all the love in the world and more. "Nami?" The creeping fear in Law's voice finally unstuck her gunked-up engine of a brain. "If-"

"Yes!" she interrupted quickly. Her head shot up to look at him again, but too fast, and the crown of her head collided with the underside of his jaw. She cringed both at the blossom of pain that bloomed over her scalp and the distinct clacking of his teeth slamming together. He groaned loudly and slapped his hands to his mouth while Nami's mouth dribbled with apologies and her hands fluttered around his head to pull it down. Once of his eyes was squeezed shut while the other brimmed with a few tears from the sharp pain no doubt fireworking in his jaw, and Nami suddenly had to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. Of course she couldn't have a normal marriage proposal. Slowly, she was able to pull his hands away from his mouth, snorting at the bright red mark peeking up from beneath the fuzzy edges of his goatee. "Yes," she repeated softly and placed both her hands on his cheeks. A small smirk slowly spread over his lips.

"I thought you might hit me, but not like that," he joked. Nami snorted in self-derision and hung her head, but he caught her underneath her chin and slowly lifted her face. His golden eyes blazed with a topaz fire as the last rays of the sun glinted off them, and it was the last thing Nami saw before she closed her eyes while his face descended over hers. He kissed her like he had a thousand times before, but yet it was altogether new, exciting and riveting with the realization that he was now kissing her as his future bride. Nami hummed contentedly as his mouth moved hungrily over hers. She felt his love with every brushing of their soft, salt-kissed lips. Yes, Nami reaffirmed in her head. Yes, I'll be yours, forever and always and for all eternity…

By the time he pulled away from her, the sun's light had vanished from the earth and it was time for the moon to make herself known. Law's skin was a light cocoa color as it was basked in the soft white light, but oddly it made his golden eyes glow all the brighter, like bits of topaz embedded within white opals. His hands were slowly running up and down her arms as he admired her like she was the most sublime creature to ever have graced him. "Straw Hat-ya will likely come looking for us soon…" There was a hesitation in his voice, like he knew it was true but didn't want it to be. Nami certainly didn't want to cut the moment short.

"I think we can keep him waiting a little while longer," she responded with a suggestive bump of her hips against his. His eyes widened a little and he looked around as if making sure they were indeed alone. Poking the tip of her tongue out of her lips, she shrugged his arms off and unabashedly wrenched her dress up her body by the hem, exposing a black bikini. As Law sputtered unsure warnings, she threw the orange dress aside and looked at him like Aphrodite would her mortal prey. Then, giggling, she whirled on her feet to splash out into the surf. "I say we go for a swim!"

It took a few moments to register that he had just been had by the devious woman. She was already thigh-deep in the water before he yelled after her, "Nami! It's nighttime; the sharks'll be out!" Nami, her form cast in a white glow by the blanket of moonlight, leaned over to begin splashing toward him in the surf.

"Oh, come now; you'll have bigger risks to take marrying me than a few sharks!" she called back teasingly and then winked. "Besides, if a shark bites me, you can kill it and reattach my limb anyway!"

"You've been hanging out with Robin-ya too much, joking like that," she heard him groan from the shore. She squealed victoriously as he pulled his tee shirt over his head to reveal his gloriously sculpted and tattooed body and tossed it on top of her shirt and then waded out into the water, joining her out in the rolling waves. She was back in his arms again no sooner than he had joined her, pressing herself against him as the water slid between their connected bodies.

"You regretting it yet?" she cooed playfully as she stretched out her hand to admire the moonbeams playing over the diamond's surface. Law grunted in amusement and touched the tip of his nose to hers.

"I would never in a million years, Nami." The redhead smiled sweetly and laid her head on his shoulder, continuing to admire the engagement ring.

"That's good, 'cuz I could never imaging being anyone's but yours."

Yours… Mine… Ours, she thought satisfactorily as he held and caressed her amidst the great blue sea that had brought them together, many moons ago with a chance collision of great cresting waves…
