Breakfast that morning was not exactly normal, to say the least, but she should have expected it. Sanji was overly upset, and refused to feed his captain until he would apologize for what he had done. Nami was amused as she watched Luffy saying that he had no idea what Sanji was talking about, and pouted as he sat down at the table next to the empty seat that Usopp would take when he decided to stop telling Chopper the fake story.
Nami tried ignoring the story, but her faced flushed when she heard hers and Luffy's names mentioned in the same sentence, that would go over the head of the innocent Chopper and childlike Luffy. Robin sat across from Nami, and poked Zoro's face gently as he stirred from his quiet nap.
"Oi! Marimo! How dare you sleep and have Robin-chan wake you up at the table!" Sanji yelled holding the main breakfast tray.
"It's cause your cooking is awful, swirly brow!" Zoro responded, beginning to unsheath his sword, before Robin created an arm, to hold his hand down gently.
Sanji's attempts on not feeding Luffy went by failed, as the captain stretched his arms about the table stealing food from everyone else's plates of food. Nami frowned, as she watched beside her as Usopp desperately tried to protect the food he had on his plate, nearly forgetting to eat it himself. Luffy was ignoring her, or at least it felt like it. He wasn't talking with her, let alone looking at her, unless he looked when she wasn't looking at him. He didn't even take food from her plate, intentionally it seemed, since his hand only ended up grabbing food when his eyes were on his other hand. She didn't blame him though, if he had done that to her, she would definitely ignore him, let alone stay as far away from him as possible in the fear that it would happen again.
She was thankful he was forgiving to some extent. She poked her potatoes with her fork, causing Robin's smile to be only barely hidden from the arms stretching across the table. Had she noticed the archeologist's smile, she might have went back to her angry mode, snapping at the woman exclaiming that it was her fault, even though it wasn't. Robin reached over the table, and tapped Nami's hand before the potato rolled off the plate from the absent poking of the fork.
Nami looked up, hesitantly.
"You alright?" The dark haired woman asked softly, as Zoro's one eye looked at them suspiciously.
"What? Of course I am, what makes you think I'm not?" Nami stated, folding her arms under her chest.
"Well, you normally don't poke at your food with a sour expression after looking at a certain captain." Robin shrugged, as Zoro smirked, before taking the last of his bacon before Luffy noticed there was more meat on the table.
"It's not like that, honestly," Nami sighed.
"What exactly happened between you two?" Robin asked, causing Sanji to start paying more attention to the two ladies' conversation.
Nami noticed his sudden interest, and frowned, "Not now, Robin, not here." she stated, before stabbing the potato with her fork and placing it in her mouth with a pout.
Once the chaos of breakfast was over, Nami found herself standing at the railing of one side of the Sunny as she felt the wind against her face, blowing through her hair. Luffy was sitting on the Sunny's head, enjoying the feel of adventure, Zoro was sleeping on the grass against the railing with his swords beside him, and the Wado Ichimonji in the crook of his arm. Usopp was working on some new invention with Franky, as Chopper squealed when he noticed their improvements, everytime he looked up from placing down his herbs to let them dry. Robin was in library, most likely, as Sanji was preparing some drinks for the ladies before he started on lunch. Brook was fishing off to the side, per the cook's orders, and Jinbei was steering the ship.
Nami closed her eyes as she felt the wind through her hair, the ocean in her ears, and clear weather on her skin. When she opened her eyes a few minutes later, her gaze was transfixed on one spot of the Sunny that was vacant from who'd been there previously. Her mind went to the worst, as she dashed down the stairs and across the Sunny surprising Brook in the process. Jinbei was surprised when the navigator suddenly appeared beside him rushing up to the Sunny's head to inspect if the owner of the spot was still there. On confirming it's vacancy, she looked around the waters to see maybe a ripple or a straw hat floating in them, but all she saw was the calm waves of the ocean. Jinbei raised an eyebrow as she frantically ran back and forth at the edges of the ship.
"Nami?" he asked, earning her attention.
"Oh, Jinbei, I hadn't noticed you there," she replied turning around briefly before going back to inspect, "how long have we gone without him there? How long has he been under? How fast does he sink?" she muttered to herself as she scanned the waters.
"Nami, what are you looking for?" Jinbei asked, earning her gaze to be a little more violent.
"You were right here right?" she stated, "didn't you notice he's gone?" she stated pointing to the Sunny's head, before realization seemed to strike her, "You can control the water, right? So you can get him back up safely! Hurry, Jinbei, before it's too late!"
Jinbei caught on to what she was saying but waited for her to catch her breath before speaking, "Luffy isn't in the water."
Nami's eyes widened, as she turned back to the head, and glanced back to the waters around them, "but, he's..." she began, losing her words.
"He dashed off a little bit ago, to the library, after Robin had called him, only a few minutes ago." he stated, gesturing to the library on the other side of the ship.
"Oh." Nami stated, before making her way to that side of the ship.
Sanji dashed down the stairs swirling his legs as he met her half way across the deck, "Nami-swan! I made you an orange cocktail for your enjoyment!"
Nami grasped the beverage lightly in her hand, "Thank you, Sanji-kun," she replied, "Did you give Robin hers?"
"Yes, Nami-san," Sanji replied, "why?"
"Was Luffy there?" she asked, as she took a sip from the drink.
Sanji's face slightly fell, "Yes, he was, but Nami-san, he shouldn't be ignoring you like that."
So it wasn't just her, Sanji noticed that she was being ignored as well. She sighed, "That's why I want to talk to him, he can't ignore me forever, right, Sanji-kun?" she winked.
"Aye! Nami-swan!" Sanji exclaimed, before spinning his way back up to the kitchen.
Nami made her way to the library, and expected to hear nothing from the doors, but should have known it wouldn't be the case with Luffy in there, however, just before she opened the door she heard Robin say, "but you liked it, right?" her hand froze.
"Liked it?" Luffy responded.
"Wasn't it your first?" Robin asked.
"My first?"
"Yes, Captain, you haven't been kissed before have you?"
Kissed? Nami's face reddened, did Robin kiss Luffy? No, it couldn't be, because that would make Robin at least his third kiss right? I mean there was that time
"Well, Makino would kiss me occasionally." Luffy stated, calmly. Nami could picture him nodding his head.
"But on the lips, Luffy?"
"No, she'd kiss me right here."
"So then, she was your first, yesterday?" Robin clarified.
"I guess so, why is it so important which number it was?"
Nami flushed, she hadn't expected that, though technically his first kiss was when Reiju, Sanji's older sister, had saved him from the poisonous fish he ate, before they reached Whole Cake Island.
"I guess it doesn't, but did you like it?" Robin asked returning to the first question Nami heard.
"It wasn't bad, I mean, she said I tasted like meat, so I wouldn't mind tasting it myself!" he laughed, cheerfully.
"Would you do it again?"
"No."
Nami's beating heart seemed to stop for a few seconds. He wouldn't kiss again, so he didn't like it. She pulled her raised hand to her chest and clutched it as her other hand began to slightly shake causing the drink to nearly splash over the sides.
"What do you mean, Luffy?"
"She tasted weird."
"Weird?"
"Yeah, like Zoro's sake, but mixed with something sweet and I didn't like it." Luffy responded immediately.
"Oh, you mean the alcohol," Robin paused, "well Luffy, she just drank some of Zoro's sake, so obviously she'd taste a little like it."
"Do you like the taste of Zoro's sake then?"
Nami's eyes widened, did he mean what she thought he meant, did he mean the Zoro and Robin had...
"Well, I wouldn't say I dislike it, I just like the taste without the sake, you know?"
"Hmmm..."
Without the sake? So Zoro and Robin had kissed when they were sober, or Zoro was, how far had they gone had they-
"What does that taste like?" Luffy interrupted her thoughts.
"Depends." Robin responded, "do you want to know?"
Nami blushed, she reached for the handle.
"Well, thanks for the help Luffy, I couldn't have gotten the top shelves without you." Robin stated, which made no sense to anyone who knew Robin, but Luffy's small mind was the exception.
"No problem!"
Nami swung open the door, tired of listening to the conversation only to feel the door being opened by someone on the other side, the sudden pull of which was stronger than her own, caused her to fall forward, her half finished cocktail spilling all over her and the person on the other side of the door, not to mention the floor. Her eyes went wide as she felt something soft on her lips, it was something she had felt before, something she had deliberately went and stole before. Something that caused the awkwardness between her and the owner of whose lips she was kissing. Her face went bright red as she stumbled back onto her feet, staring into a wide-eyed captain's dark eyes.
"Like that, Luffy." Robin voiced, but it wasn't loud enough to be heard by anyone but herself, as she smirked to herself before immersing her mind into the book in her hands.
"Nami, you did it again!" Luffy stated grabbing Nami's shoulders before she could react.
"Luffy, I, I..." she lost her words as she turned her eyes away from hers.
"That one didn't taste like sake!" Luffy stated shaking her, happily, before noticing her downcast eyes. "Oi, Nami, are you okay?" he asked moving one hand to feel her forehead.
"Yes, Luffy, I'm fine, I just, I want to know..." She knocked his hand away as she turned her face to the side, "I want to know..." swiftly, she turned her head back to face his and practically yelled in his face, "why you're ignoring me, Luffy!"
"Ignoring you?" Luffy asked, dropping his hands from her arms.
"Yes!" Nami stated, but noticed his sudden confused expression, "haven't you?"
"Why should I?" Luffy asked, before bringing something to her attention she hadn't noticed, "You've been ignoring me."
"Ignoring you?" Nami asked quietly to herself, "I..." Luffy waited for her to continue. She realized he was right, she had been ignoring him, but made herself think it was the other way around. "I had thought that you wouldn't want to talk to me after I did that."
"What?" Luffy asked, "why? You said I tasted like meat right?" as if that explained everything, Nami nodded her head, faint tears started to swell in her eyes as she leaped into his arms, surprising him and making him fall to the ground with her on top of him. Robin smiled, pretending to be wrapped up in her book.
Luffy looked up at Nami as she rose herself from his chest and gazed into his eyes, "You're right, captain, but, she blinked her happy tears away, some falling to his face beneath her. He blinked, confused on why she was crying. "I don't want to talk," Nami finished before pressing her lips onto his beneath her, surprising him further that morning.
He was sprawled beneath her, his hands had fallen from her hips where he caught her, and he closed his eyes to copy her, satisfied that this one tasted nothing like that sake filled one last night or the surprise one when he opened the door, but sweet and loving. When she dropped her arms to entangle her fingers into his hair, he copied her movement and reached his hands behind her head.
Robin smiled, devilishly, before closing her eyes to use her devil fruit. She spawned one of the top half of her clones beside the sleeping Zoro, and nudged him awake.
Zoro opened his eye, and looked at the copy of the dark haired archeologist, "What, Robin?" he yawned.
"You were right, she does love him." she smiled.
"And what about him?" Zoro smirked.
"He's got a smaller bridge to learn, but he's getting there." she smiled.
"Told ya," Zoro smirked, closing his eyes.
"Meet me in the crow's nest tonight, it's your watch right?" Robin smirked devilishly, before scattering into many flower petals. Zoro smiled, before he snoozed off again.
Nami broke her one-sided-passionate kiss with Luffy at the same time Sanji cried out to the ladies on the ship that lunch was ready, causing her bed to gently push her aside before dashing off yelling about meat. He was getting there.
