Exh—OKAY! It's NOT working!
Zoro was visibly breathing heavily in his position up in the Crow's Nest. He had been waiting for who knows how long for Nami, but no idea why. He heard himself scolding, saying, 'It's just another trick! She's always pulling stunts like this just to bug ya! Now, you're gonna catch a cold because you're so damn gullible!' A true man was not gullible, but trusting. For some reason, he felt he could trust Nami. Plus, he was anxious. Excited. He really wanted to see what she had gotten him. So, he shooed the cautious voice inside his head away and sat patiently up high, waiting for her.
And waiting…
And waiting…
And wai—"OKAY! Where the hell is she?" he growled under his breath.
"Geez, you've only been here less than five minutes and you're so jumpy. For someone who didn't want to partake in gift exchange, you sure are interested, aren't you, jiggles?" he heard a teasing voice whisper from behind.
He turned around instantaneously and the spunky red head was already sitting on her knees, right behind him. She had on her infernal grin and her eyes sparkled with something he could not recognize.
"AHHH!" he shrieked.
"Calm down, Zoro. You know, the way you're acting, you are gonna give yourself a heart attack before you get your gift. You wouldn't want that, now would you? After all the trouble we both went through to get each other gifts. I'd feel bad if I got something from you but you got nothing in return." She said seductively through a few giggles.
That's when he noticed; she wasn't wearing his necklace!
"HEY! Where's the necklace I gave you?" he demanded.
"But Zoro, we're here to exchange gifts. It would be foolish of me to wear the gift you already gave me when I am getting some new from you. I wouldn't want to have to choose which gift is better." She responded lightly.
"Huh? But that was your gift from me! I have nothing else to give you." He informed, slightly frightened by the look she was giving him and what she was talking about.
"Oh, you do Zoro. Tonight, we're both giving each other the exact same gift at the exact same time. Are you ready, Zoro?" she asked huskily as she leaned forward over him pretty and placing her hand on his knee.
Can you say…! BLUSH !
"…R-ready for wuh--…"
"Go!" she hummed as she pulled something out of her pocket and…
…get ready for fluff…
…kissed Zoro on the lips. For Zoro, life froze at that moment. He just stared down at the beauteous girl with closed, her lips feel unimaginable. However, life caught up with him and he fell backward. The impact had no affect on him since shock consumed his whole mind. Nevertheless, Nami seized the chance to bring her arms up, one around his neck and one resting on his hip. She hooked her right leg around his waist as she slipped off on his left side.
Sadly, Zoro was too shocked to respond. And every single instant in time has an end. So, with no action, Nami let go of his lips. She rested her head on his spread out arm and waited for her breath to return. Zoro…was need less to say…
Still shocked.
'How…how could she do that?; he asked himself, his mind racing a thought for a millisecond, 'How did she get up the guts to do that? …I mean, I coulda done that if I wanted to…if I had the time to, but I didn't! And what about me? I didn't do anything! I just sat there, frozen, as if I was watching her tannin—I MEAN…watching her and 'Ricki retardo' at the gift exchange. DAMMIT! I SUCK! How unmanly was I just…?'
He slowly turned his head to look over at the red head. He found her breathing calmly now, both hands held to her heart and she was cuddling oh so close to him, he could smell her violet fragrance. Her eyes opened then and were sparkling again, this time, with something that calmed him.
"…Merry Christmas, sexy." She mumbled out through breathing.
He allowed himself to smirk…in a slight manor.
After a few more moments of star gazing in each other's eyes, Nami got up. Zoro heard himself whimper at the feel of her warmth, his only warmth, leaving. Luckily, Nami heard it to. She smiled down at him and gave him a wink. He didn't realize he was blushing because of her actions and continued to stare at her as she stood and headed for the ladder. But as she passed him, she threw something while muttering, "Catch."
And so he caught it.
He looked down at the prickly object in his hand, then at her once again. But she was gone down the ladder.
'Mistletoe…used on me.' The thought surprised him. He never would of thought such a traditional romantic tool would be used by someone for him. Yet, she had. He smiled down at the plant as he thought,
'Merry Christmas, hottie. Can't wait to see you at New Year's.'
SEQUEL! "Love's New Year's Resolution" CHECK IT: TUESDAY, JANUARY 2! PcEz!
