In any relationship you gonna have your share of fights, it can range from pretty much anything, from who was suppose to take out the trash to who was you sleeping around with. And as such when you fight with your partner there are gonna be times when you say something you just shouldn't say to them. Which was why Nami was laying in bed alone this very evening.

She hasn't been able to sleep at all, it was 1:12 am and all she done was lay in bed listening to the rain outside. She was staring up at the ceiling thinking about what had happen tonight and the fight her and Luffy had, they had their fights before and normally it never amount to much aside from her hitting him over the head but this time was very different.

~Flashback~

"I can't believe you Luffy! I mean what was you thinking punching my boss's co partner like that!?" A very pissed off Nami was glaring daggers at Luffy, they were currently in their bedroom in a very heated argument. Luffy didn't say much about the affair but it didn't seem like he was backing down from this one however. "You knew how damn important this damn dinner was, how important that promotion was and yet you go and fuck it up for me!" Nami was seething at Luffy who looked at her with no guilt in his eyes which only made her madder. " I didn't like him, he said something he shouldn't of so i punched him." He stated with an even voice, it was clear he was just as mad but more so towards the guy then anything. "Thats it!? Thats your reason!? And what did he say soooo bad that you had to punch him in the face huh!?" Luffy didn't answer that one and instead looked to the side to avoid eye contact. Nami however took that as him not having an excuse at all. "Yeah i thought as much. You know, i don't even know why i bother taking you, i should had known you screw it up somehow and you did with no reasons whatsoever since you clearly have none! I don't even know why i dated an damn idiot like you!" Luffy flitched a bit from that remark and look over at Nami, she kept that cold stare in her eyes as she looked back at him. Luffy closed his eyes and decided to leave the room and head down stairs, which surprised Nami. She had assumed he say something back but instead he just left. She huffed and ran her hand through her face and sighed heavy.

~Present~

Thinking back, she didn't really felt bad with what she said but at the same time she didn't took what she said as bad ether. She figured he would go cool down and relax like her and they would be okay. But oddly enough that wasn't the case at all. The past 4 hours since they were home Luffy just laid on the couch with his back turned to Nami. She wasn't sure if he was asleep or maybe just ignoring her. She wouldn't assume the second one since Luffy had never done so before. She then heard his stomach growl and took that maybe he was hungry. When she offered him some food he decline it which shocked Nami very greatly. Luffy denying food ? Was he that upset with what happen ? And thats how the evening was spent, he laid in that one spot the whole night while Nami could only think if what she said really hurt his feelings. A part of her was screaming to go comfort him but then she remembered what he had done and she just couldn't bring herself to do it. She wasn't the bad guy here. And so she left it as it was. Went about her evening as it was normal. She too ignored him and decided to go to bed. And here she was, laying in bed sleepless but it wasn't because she couldn't sleep it was more so that for the past hour she felt bad, she felt like crap and it was cause of a phone call she got an hour ago.

~Flash Back~

Nami looked at her cell ringing and saw it was Robin her friend and co worker calling.

"Hey robin, whats up ?"

"Hello Nami, i was asked to call you regarding what happen tonight" Nami got worried, did they plan on firing her ?

"Y..Yea, i figured. I guess they won't want me there after tonight."

"On the contrary, the boss said he was gonna give you the promotion as a surprised, which was what the party was all about. I suggusted the idea to him of course." Nami eyes widen upon hearing this but she was still a bit confused.

"B..But i don't have it now right ? Because of what Luffy did to his partner."

"Nami, i don't know if you knew but Shiki is a man who often flirted with women, in fact he often bribe them for sex to get raises or even promotions in his company. Our boss didn't knew of this and he mainly targeted women who were single." Nami was taking in all this new imformation and she couldn't help but try to piece together what had happen tonight..

"W..Wait..so that guy, was gonna ask me do something for him in order to get that promotion ?" She heard Robin sighed some.

"Knowing him yes and without his partner knowing, clearly to get free sex for zero reasons on your part since you were getting it anyway. Shiki seemed to had told this to Luffy of this said plan of his."

"Wait, he told Luffy what he was gonna do ? Why would he.."

"He was drunk so i suppose he didn't even knew Luffy was your boyfriend, someone near by heard the convo and told our boss of the matter and soon after you two left he comforted Shiki on the matter and broke their partnership. He also advised him not to take Luffy to court cause he would back him up all the way to the wire if needed." Nami couldn't believe what she was hearing. Luffy did had a reason for punching the guy, he flat out said he was gonna have her fuck him in order to get a promotion that she was gonna get handed over anyway. So that meant that Luffy didn't do anything wrong..that meant what she said to him earlier was..

~Present~

Nami should be happy, she got her promotion, the thing she worked so hard to earn she finally have but it felt hollow and that was cause she hurted someone over the damn thing. She look to the side of the bed and saw the empty spot, she felt so stupid for what she said, she now knew why he did what he did and even more so why he didn't tell her to begin with. It was cause she would believe him, she would believe that he would punch that creep for such a reason and if she would had told her boss with no proof saying otherwise she would had lost her job then lost that promotion. Even when she was saying all those things to him, in the end he was thinking about her. The mere thought made her even more upset with herself. She toss the covers off herself. Despite the rain she was wearing a tee shirt and panties since it was rather warm at home. She had to make things right.

As she got down the stairs Luffy was laying in the same spot as before. Except he was shirtless, she could see his bare back that was slightly sweating while he laid curled up on the couch. She walked ever so slowly over towards him. She wasn't sure what to say, she wasn't sure what to say or do to make things right with him. Once she got close enough she took a short breath and spoke softly but loudly for Luffy to hear. "Luffy..Robin told me what had happen at the party..the reason why you punched Shiki..My boss knows that, i still am getting that promotion and my job is safe.." She was hoping it would stir him a bit but nothing. She balled her hands and closed her eyes. "I..I'm sorry for what i said Luffy..i was just so angry..i worked really hard to try to get that promotion and i thought because of you that it was tooken away but that wasn't the case at all...y..you was defending me.." She was beginning to tear up as she open sher eyes back to look at his back still. "You were defending me like any normal boyfriend would..and hear i was..calling you an idiot and worse..i question why i ever dated you at all..i was so stupid for even utter those words and even a bigger fool for not telling you this sooner..I'm so sorry baby..I love you so much..you always make me happy, you always put me before yourself..you would rather be yelled at by me then have me lose my job accusing that asshole.." She closed her eyes as she gripped the end of the shirt she were wearing. "The better question is why are you with a woman like me..someone who would yell and treat you like your a child..your so sweet to me and cause you make one mistake i snap at you as iff you ruin everything..why be with a damn mean woman like me..?" She kept her eyes closed crying and almost drop to her knees till she felt strong arms wrapped around her and her face was press to something solid yet soft. "Nami..its okay, you don't gotta say anymore." Nami stared up at him as he look back at her with a soft smile. She only teared up more before pressing her face against his chest again repeatedly saying sorry over and over as he caressed her back softly.

They both was now laying on the couch this time face to face with each other, they both stared into each other's eyes both wearing a smile on their face. "I'm sorry too by the way" Luffy spoke breaking the silence. She raised a brow at this as he continue. "I guess the better thing was to tell you then and there what he said..just when he was saying he would do stuff to you by lying it just made me mad." Luffy confessed as he gave a slight pout at how things turned out cause of what happen. Nami smiled at him and caressed her hand against his cheek. " Luff, i would had done the same thing. Might had hit below the belt to get the point across but nonetheless i would had done the same." Luffy and Nami chuckled at this before she lean forward and capture his lips in a small but loving kiss which he gladly returned. "Thank you for defending me" He smiled before kissing the tip of her nose. "Anytime shishishi" She smiled and giggled back as she lean against him and breathed in his scent. Her being this close to him, it felt right. Much better then laying down all alone. As long as she had Luffy, she will always feel safe.
