Okay! I got a review asking if I could do a Ace and Nami story! I didn't know who it was since it was anonymous, but here it is! I hope whoever asked for it likes the idea I gave for the story! I hope it's what you wished for! Please enjoy!

R&R

First time Ace had seen Nami was when Marco gave him the wanted posters of his brother's crew. Marco knew he had a little brother complex, and didn't seem to care since he was always helping Ace keep an eye on him. Her picture was gorgeous, and that cocky, flirty smirk of hers made his heart flutter. Of all things he was having feelings for a poster. She was all he had on his mind, and he hoped to see her in person one day.

But that changed when Teach betrayed Whitebeard. His only thought was getting revenge for his family. Though on his journey, he kept her wanted poster with him, taking small glances to them whenever he wanted something else to think about briefly.

"If you see this pirate can you give him this message?" Ace asked, handing the man a slip of paper and Luffy's wanted poster.

He wanted to check up on his brother again, now that Marco wasn't there to help him get information. Plus, thinking at the slight chance he may have of meeting that Orange haired thief, made his heart almost explode in excitement. He had made it to Alabasta and was close to Teach's tail and he knew it. What he didn't know was to suddenly have his brother crashing into him.

"Luffy!" He shouted, seeing his brother take off with Smoker on his trail. "Sorry for the trouble." He apologized to the people politely, groaning inside at his brother's stupidity.

He searched all over, trying to figure out where his brother had gone so quickly. But it wasn't his brother that was on his mind now, it was once again Nami who occupied his thoughts. He could finally see her, talk to her, get to know her.

There! She was running with the rest of her crew away from Smoker and his Marines. A smirk cracked his face as his eyes briefly roamed over the blue, white, and purple dancers outfit she was wearing. This was the chance to make a good impression.

He saw her eyes spark in interest as he lite himself up and stopped smokers attack, giving them a cocky smile and telling them to escape. He'd just find Luffy again once he finished this, he had no worries. And he did just that, finding his brother and getting them back to his ship where his nakama already were. He teased Luffy a bit as he bragged about being better than Ace, and thanked them for taking care of his brother. He beamed as Nami all but cried at the thought of Luffy's brother being so polite. Score! He made another good impression.

"I can't believe Luffy's brother is so different!" Nami said once the drinks and food were passed out.

"We tried to teach Luffy manners towards women." Ace shrugged, smirking at her again.

Nami blushed slightly, his charm zapping her with that smile. She turned her face away, trying to hide the blush from him, but felt like she wanted him to see as he looked away and acted as if nothing was going on. She pouted inwardly, craving him to look only at her.

"Why?" She whispered to herself, putting a hand on her cheek in confusion.

"Because he's good looking," Vivi interrupted, making Nami jump in surprise at the princess hearing her muttering to herself. "If I weren't the princess I'd fall for him too."

Ace knocked his brother over the head slightly and laughed, sending warmth through Nami's chest at the sight of him being so easy going. Vivi glanced at her friend, smiling knowingly and giving the girl a nudge.

"Get to know him. After all, he is your captain's brother. It's not like it's the last time you'll see him." Vivi told her with a peace sign, reassuring her to gather up some courage.

"It's the Billions of Baroque Works!" Vivi said, noticing the ships that were heading towards them.

"Yosha!" Ace said, walking over to the edge of the ship and jumping.

"Ace!" Luffy shouted, looking over the edge of the ship at his brother who landed on his striker.

"I'll take care of this!" He smiled, tapping his hat lightly.

Nami watched in awe as he headed straight for the, making them aim all their weapons at his small ship. He smirked and pushed his striker under water, while he jumped into the air, flipping and flying over their ships like it was a game.

"Wow!" She said as he suddenly landed on the other side of them, with his striker coming from under their ships and catching him.

He smirked, shooting out a huge ball of fire at them, destroying their ships in the blast and leaving them to fend for themselves in the ocean. He heart skipped a beat as she watched him push up his hat with a flaming finger. It was always the bad boys that seemed to get her heart; and he was no different. But unlike the other bad boys, he was polite and respectful; a person she had never thought existed out there.

"Sugoi!" Luffy shouted with a laugh, giving his brother room as he jumped back onto the ship.

"So that's what a commander of the Whitebeard crew can do." Zoro said, finding him a worthy opponent for a match in the future.

"You haven't seen a part of it," Ace taunted him, smirking at the first mate and letting the testosterone fly between them.

Nami rolled her eyes, wishing men would just whip them out on the table and measure them so it would be over with already. She walked over and grabbed his arm, tugging him over with her.

"Come on, we still need to finish our party." She said, smiling at him sweetly, and making him raise an eyebrow at her mood.

"Y'know, I like the cocky you better," Ace said, sitting against the railing of the ship with Nami next to him. "It shows more of who you are."

Nami looked at him surprised. "most guys say the complete opposite."

"Well, then they're stupid," He chuckled, chugging down his beer quickly.

Nami watched him with wide eyes, before turning to her own drink, a small smile playing on her lips. She couldn't figure out what to say to him; for once she was speechless. But just hearing him talk to everyone else, and at the same time stay next to her, made her feel content enough to not care.

"Nami-swan!" Sanji sang as he wiggled around.

She let out a small laugh and stood up, taking a few steps towards the cook to find out what he needed.

"SANJI! MEAT!" Luffy shouted, gripping Nami's arm and using her as a leverage to fly towards Sanji.

Nami was throw backwards from the force of Luffy pushing her. She turned around, hoping to brace herself on the deck with her hands before she smacked into the hard wood. Instead she landed on a hard chest with her arms on either side of the stomach. An arm went around her waist, keeping her up so her feet didn't slip out from underneath her.

"Oi! Luffy! You have to be careful!" Ace scolded his brother, the sound vibrating through his chest and into Nami's ear.

Her face exploded into red as she heard his heart beating erratically, showing just how nervous he was with her so close. She smiled softly and stood up slowly, catching her bearings and taking the time to revel in his touch. The arm around her waist was shooting warmth through her back and sides, his Mera Mera fruit igniting within him at his embarrassment.

"Sorry, I wish his manners would get better," Ace said, patting her arms lightly so he could look over her for any injuries.

She waved a hand in front of her face, waving off his concern over her and his irritation towards his brother. "We're all used to it by now."

"You okay?" He asked with worried eyes, sending her heart to squeeze in happiness.

Ace stared in surprise as her face burst out into a large red blush, covering her face and her ears like a tomato. He felt his own face growing warm, which was unusual for him since he had a fire devil fruit. Neither of them seemed to know what to do at their embarrassment.

"Baka!" Sanji punched Luffy in the head, putting hearts in his eyes as he looked at Nami admiringly.

The two separated quickly, so the crew wouldn't find out about the embarrassment and nervousness the two of them had plainly on their faces. Ace put a hand to his face, pushing the blush away so he could look at them normally.

"Do you beat up people like before?" Chopper asked in awe, looking up at the pirate like he was a hero.

"Most of the time yeah," Ace chuckled, patting Chopper on his hat and seeing him smile. Ace felt like he was looking down at a small child who was watching him with sparkles in his eyes. "One the sea you meet a lot of strong people. The more you fight, the stronger you become!"

"Can I get stronger?" Chopper asked hopefully.

"Of course!" Ace told him with a bright smile.

Nami smiled at the small scene, seeing the similarities between Ace and Luffy in their kindness to other people. "You'd have to be strong to begin with." Nami told Chopper. "After all, Luffy has a big goal."

Luffy laughed, smiling at Nami with a face splitting grin. "I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

Ace smiled and tilted his hat down, shaking his head slightly at the goal his little brother has had since he was a child. He never quite understood why Luffy had this goal from the beginning, but at least he showed integrity to never give it up though all the hardships.

"Still as headstrong as ever." Ace commented.

"Yeah, and it gets us in major trouble at times too." Nami laughed, shaking her head at the memories of the Marines, and other pirates, chasing after them because he'd shout such a thing near them or at them.

"Kanpai!" Usopp, Chopper, and Luffy shouted cheerily.

"What are they 'Kanpai' ing about now?" Zoro grumbled, chugging down his drink anyways.

"Anything they can," Sanji growled back, not really finding it an argument, but wanting to fight the swordsman anyway he could.

"Is it always like this?" Ace laughed, raising an eyebrow at the small group that was shouting Kanpai at anything they could think of.

"Sadly, it's usually worse." Nami sighed, dropping her head in shame at the crew around her.

"I asked the same thing," Vivi laughed, knowing the feeling of hoping this wasn't how they were on a daily basis.

Soon the small trip on the ship ended and the desert opened up before them, showing them the trek they would need to take to get to where they needed. Ace found it incredibly stupid that Luffy became the leader of the Kung Fu Dugongs, but at the same time didn't find it so odd since it was his brother.

"No! Not my angel!" Sanji whined, crying at the sight of Nami and Vivi putting on long jackets to cover their bodies from the ruthless sun.

Ace felt bad for the others as they walked through the sands. Obviously Vivi was used to the heat; Ace thought she must be a local around her then. Plus he didn't have to worry about the heat with his devil fruit power; he didn't feel hot or cold. But the others were nearly dying from the heat and the beating sun on them. At least the girls found a camel to carry them on their way, but the heat was still getting to Nami as she looked like she was about to pass out from heat exhaustion.

He walked over to the camel, giving a small nod to it as he walked along side it and watched the girls. "Here," He said, grabbing his hat off of his head and handing it to Nami. "It'll block the sun a bit for you."

Nami gave a small smile, her heart fluttering at his kind gesture. "Thanks," She said, placing the hat on her head, feeling the shade go over her face and stop the sun from burning her.

"Better?" He asked, and smiled as she nodded her head slowly for him. "We'll need to find a small rest area soon."

They day had passed by fairly fast as they found a resting area, got their stuff taken, and got enough food to feed all of them for the moment. Vivi suggested they make camp, telling them that even though the day was burning hot, the night could freeze you if you weren't careful.

"She wasn't kidding when she said it gets cold." Nami said, shivering slightly as she sat next to Ace.

He was leaning against a tent, watching his brother curl around chopper for heat in anyway he could get. He chuckled and glanced over at Nami who was wrapping her arms around her legs so she could warm up and stop the shivering that was taking over her body. He gulped, trying to convince himself to move and take a step towards what his heart was telling him to do.

"Well, you can…" He coughed into his hand, looking away from her as his ears turned red. "..uh…sit here, if you want." He opened his arms, giving her an invitation to his warmth.

Nami blushed and tucked her hair behind her ear, feeling nervous about the thought, but at the same time wanting to sit there so she could indulge in his warmth. She stood up, walking closer to him before sitting down slowly between his legs, leaning back so her back was to his chest. He opened his jacket before wrapping it around her too so the heat from his body could soak into her faster.

"Thanks," She whispered, trying to hide the blush from her face that was growing fast.

"No problem," He whispered back, their hearts both beating erratically with how close the other was.

Ace was all but praising himself inside as he cheered and shouted inside his head for getting Nami to sit so close to him. His arms tightened around her, seeing how close she'd let him get to her. He felt like his heart would beat out of his chest at how fast it would beat, that or explode in excitement.

Nami moved her arms slightly, relaxing more in his hold so she wasn't so stiff. She heard a rustling as her arm brushed by on his jacket, making her wiggle her hand around automatically from her sticky fingers. She pulled out the piece of paper from his inside jacket pocket, and pulled it out with her arms from the jacket so she could see what it was.

"Wha…" She said, seeing it wasn't just a plain piece of paper, but her wanted poster.

Ace glanced down, wondering what she had see to make her gasp in surprise. His face exploded in embarrassment as he realized she was holding the wanted poster in her hands.

"I can explain," He said, reaching out his hand to take the paper.

She stopped him, turning slightly in his lap to look at him. "Why do you have my wanted poster?" Her paranoia was sparking as she looked at him, wondering if he had connections with arlong, or some of the other pirates that were after her.

He groaned as he rubbed his neck, trying to think of an explanation that wouldn't sound too creepy to her. "Ah, wait!" He said, grabbing her arms lightly as she tried to stand up and walk away. "I swear it's nothing weird! Or maybe it is…?"

Nami looked at him warily, but gave him a chance to try and explain before she ran off. Ace looked her in the eye, giving up on trying to find out a better explanation, and just going with what was the true one.

"I saw your wanted poster one day going through them to look for my brother. I don't know why but…" He stopped, feeling his cheeks flare up and a lump to form in his throat. "…I liked how you looked in the poster. I had this feeling like I had to meet you."

Silence filled the space between them as Nami took in the words, feeling her heart skip a beat realizing it was a small confession coming from the Whitebeard pirate in front of her. His cheeks were red, and he was avoiding looking at her so he wouldn't see what she was thinking or what expression she was giving him. She felt her own face heat up at the thought of his feelings towards her, making her feel over joyed now that she knew he felt the same way about her.

"Ace," She said, placing her hands on either side of his face.

He looked up at her, wondering what she was doing before she placed her lips on his gently. His hand automatically moved upward to grasp her own face, bringing her closer and intensifying the kiss. She tasted like mikan's and it seemed to suck him in as he sucked on her lower lip, letting the sweet taste capture in his mouth.

"Nami-swan!" Sanji shouted out, making the two of them separate in surprise.

"Shut up!" Vivi shouted, hitting Sanji in the head and knocking him to the floor.

Nami looked behind her at the ground who was now watching them with dropped jaws, not seeing that coming, especially with all of them there. Ace smiled placing his hat on her head once again and hiding her red face from her brother who was shouting over there and watching them.

"Ace! You can't have my navigator!" Luffy argued, nearly making Ace fall to the side in disbelief.

"Too late, she's mine now!" He teased back, watching as Luffy began to panic and dashed over to Nami, grabbing her shoulders and shaking her desperately.

"You can't leave us Nami!" Luffy cried, thinking Ace was actually taking Nami from his crew and back with him to the Whitebeard pirates.

"Baka! I'm not leave the crew!" She argued with him, sitting back down from her kneeling position. She huffed and crossed her arms as she leaned back against Ace, still feeling the heat from his lips on her own.

It ended all too quickly though as Ace had to go the other way, his own journey that he needed to complete.

"Use this to find me anytime." Ace said, handing Luffy his Vivre card. "Just go in the direction it pull towards."

Ace glanced over at Nami, seeing her eyes downcasted towards the sand. He walked up to her, giving her a smile even though she wasn't looking up at him.

"Nami," He said, tilting his head and trying to get her to look at him.

Finally she looked up at him, eyes showing sadness at their separation. But she knew that he was from a different pirate crew, and he would have to leave sooner or later. He cupped her face quickly and pulled her to him, kissing her deeply suddenly, surprising her. But she was sucked in quickly as she reveled in the heat of the kiss, feeling his hands flex on her face as he strained to hold back his urges.

"I'll find you again." He told her confidently, giving a small kiss on her forehead. "I'll visit you once my mission is done!"

He waved at them, giving one last goodbye before he walked off and disappeared into the sand without a trace.

"Ace is so cool!" Luffy shouted excitedly, walking over to Nami and draping his arm over her. "He'll come back! He never breaks his promises!"

Nami smiled, knowing her captain was trying to reassure her from her worries about his brother not coming back. But she didn't doubt his words, she felt he'd keep true to them no matter what happened.

"I know, he'll find us and we'll have a party once again!" She smiled at Luffy, gaining a proud smile from him of his own.

"No! Not my Nami-schwan!" Sanji cried, earning a punch to the back of the head from Zoro, before that hit sparked on a fully battle between the two.
