Author's Note: School has me in chains -_- and I'm losing my mind to AP work. Sorry for the delay, not to mention another Hurricane's coming, so if my power's out for like a week, I'll be writing down the stories for you guys :)
Anyways, simple one again. Enjoy :3
Nami
Lying in the sun on the deck, I felt his eyes on me. Not wanting to ruin my tan, I turned only my head to meet his eyes for the briefest of moments before he turned and walked into the kitchen. I sighed.
Sanji.
He gave me mixed feelings. The first of which was a simple thought. "Ladie's man."
As I pondered this thought, he immediately returned, bursting out of the kitchen, carrying a tray with cold drinks on it.
"NAMI-SWAAAN! ROBIN-CHWAAAAN!"
Robin, who was sitting beside me buried in a book, lifted her head. She smiled as Sanji handed her a drink. "How sweet, Cook-san."
"Anything for you, ladies!" He handed me my drink. Already, condensation had formed on the glass. It was cool. I smiled, taking a sip. Watermelon, and something I couldn't name. It was delicious, as usual.
"Thank you, Sanji!" I grinned.
He took my hand, as he had for Robin. Looking into my eyes, he smiled, "Anything for you."
As he carried the tray to the other members of the crew, I saw Luffy sitting on a railing, watching. He looked puzzled as he sipped his drink, watching Sanji continue to oogle over Robin and I.
Luffy.
Unlike Sanji, I knew if he were to fall in love, he would be completely dedicated to that girl...
Why did it matter anyway? It's not like there was anything between us. I mean, it's Luffy.
Luffy..
Luffy's an idiot. But what he lacks in common sense, he makes up for with confidence and loyalty.
Luffy...
Shaking my head, I sighed, then rolled onto my stomach, brushing my hair off my back to get an even tan.
Luffy
Now she was laying face down. I sighed.
I liked looking at her. She's beautiful.
I couldn't describe the feeling I got from watching her. And I couldn't (or wouldn't dare to) describe the feeling I got from watching Sanji. It was weird.
A mysterious feeling.
I didn't understand. The feeling was gone when Sanji would talk to Robin. But when he would talk to Nami in that voice, that tone, I couldn't describe it.
I couldn't take it. I figured Chopper could help.
He was mixing herbs in the infirmary. He smiled when I walked in, but I couldn't smile back.
"What's wrong, Luffy?" he asked, a puzzled expression coming across his face.
I sat down on the floor, becoming more or less at his level. "I feel funny."
Chopper began walking towards a cabinet, then pulled out a stethoscope.
"Wait," I stopped him on instinct, "Not that kind of funny.."
Confused, Chopper put the instrument back. "Do you feel sick? Any nausea?"
"No..." I didn't get it. Usually if I felt sick all I had to do was eat something. But.. "I don't feel like eating. And I get this funny feeling in here," I pointed to my belly.
Chopper took my pulse, then put his paw over my stomach. "Nothing appears to be physically wrong with you, Luffy." He looked worried. I cocked my head to the side, thinking.
"It's weird." I decided. "And I only feel funny near Nami... and sometimes Sanji."
Chopper's eyes widened. I scratched my head. He took a deep breath. "Do you ever feel jealous around Sanji?"
Jealous... yes. That was exactly what I had felt. I paused, then nodded slowly, unsure of how Chopper would react.
He relaxed.
I didn't get it.
"Luffy, nothing's wrong with you," he smiled.
"Then why aren't I hungry?"
"You don't always have to be hungry," he reminded me. "But it's perfectly normal to feel this way, Luffy." He paused, searching for the right words. "Does Nami make you happy?"
I nodded again. Just hearing her name made me happy.
Chopper grinned.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing, you're fine. Don't worry, Luffy." He continued to grin. I knew there was something he wasn't telling me.
"Chopperrrr..." I whined. "What's wrong with me?"
The reindeer had gone back to his desk, and mixed herbs as he spoke. "You're in love."
