A/N Not going to drabble on again, I read the last one and was like o_O I talk too much. WOW guys, THANKS! I've had a lot of story alerts, fav author, fav story and more reviews than my other story. I really appreciate it. I never realised until I recently started writing that these little things really make a writer feel better and more confident in their stories.
Sorry I will get on with the story but just a quick question; does anyone know the difference between a visitor and a hit on the traffic reports? I'm confused

Decided to put this up a day early, anyway here's the next update. End of A/N

Unexpected

Once Nami and Luffy had got back on deck the crew had started coming back one by one, obviously with Zoro last- no need for explanations there. She had showed them the camera and all of them thought it was a good idea to document their time finding one piece. Obviously, it was just bound to happen, half way through the discussion and Usopp's little rant in the background lying about how he had once been a famous photographer, Zoro pointed out a fact, that was both helpful but at the same time had bad timing, 'Who's goin to take the pictures?' With that said an argument started out, Luffy claiming 'he's the captain so he's allowed', and then Usopp saying how he had 'once been photographer' therefore the best choice. Nami soon grew agitated with their yelling and fighting so marching over she hit them both sending them to the ground and shouted at them to 'shut up' and she'd decide on who's taking the pictures.

So after this the crew, basically Nami and Robin with Sanji swirling around them discussed who was mainly going to be taking the pictures. It ended up with Robin being the prime candidate for this.

Luffy was just out of the question as he would take picture of pointless things, Zoro just wasn't interested in anything to do with the camera so therefore no pictures would be taken along their journeys or he would lose the camera, Usopp and Chopper wouldn't be much help as their just as bad when Luffy's around to influence them, Franky was only really interested in making his own much better version and Sanji and Brooke were obviously not even considered seeing as they were the ships perverts and poor Nami and Robin would never be left alone. Then, finally there was Robin, she had multiple hands, was sensible and was interested in, as well as taking pictures of their journey would also like to take pictures of anything with historical value. So there it was; Robin would take a picture when the occasion called for it.

Luffy had a dilemma and with this he had no idea what to do so it would seem he'd have to go and ask someone about it. Truthfully he'd had this problem for a long while, it was Nami, but up until now he was fine with just being Nakama but now it didn't seem enough. Unfortunately for Luffy, Nami is very unpredictable with how she takes things and the last thing he wanted to do was make her uncomfortable or approach the subject the wrong way. Although he was thought of as stupid he knew the feeling he felt for Nami, he really liked her, had a crush on her and possibly more but not love... not yet. So with this he needed to go to someone with more experience than people his age and he knew the perfect person for this, Robin.

When he had found Robin it was quite hard to talk to her as she was with Nami quite a lot and had Sanji flitting around her as well, if he heard what he was asking he would get a swift kick to the head. So he had to wait for Robin to be alone, which he hated having to do, he wanted this to be quick.

It was just by luck that later he found Robin to be alone; he was walking around the ship a couple times as he was bored. Sanji wouldn't make him food, everyone was busy doing their own thing and the fish weren't biting. However, on his fifth lap of the ship he saw Robin walk into the library, alone! Now was his chance! Quickly walking over to the library he saw Robin sitting with a book in her lap but when she heard the door close she looked up and gave a small smile at seeing her Captain stand there looking quite uncomfortable.

"Hello Captain-san, what are you doing in the Library?" she asked, now her full attention on the boy sitting beside her.

"I need help with... something." Robin raised an eyebrow already having an idea what he wanted help with.

"Would it by any chance have something to do with an orange haired navigator?" Luffy looked up at Robin in amazement and shock at her guessing that when he hadn't even said anything!

Really it had become quite obvious to Robin that the captain was becoming increasingly infatuated with the navigator. She had noticed how sometimes he would blankly stare at her when he thought no one was looking, how he seemed to, even when mucking about, be within a few feet of her and that he was touching her more and more. Then when she saw the picture on the camera with his arms wrapped around Nami it only confirmed her thoughts.

Before Luffy could say anything else Robin asked, "What are you planning on doing?" Luffy looked sheepish as he replied, "It's kinda why I'm here, I need help I dunno what to do and if she even likes me... like that."

Robin could only crack a small smile at her Captains insecurity. It had also become quite obvious on Nami's behalf that she liked her Captain in return.

"You don't have anything to worry about Navigator-san not returning your feelings. As for how to tell her, that's up to you, takes all the fun away otherwise." Before Luffy could say a single word back Robin got up and walked out with her newly picked out book in hand.

He smiled at the thought of Nami liking him back, at least this made things a bit easier but then frowned again as he still had no idea how to tell her. Looks like he was going to have to do this by himself, he was going to have to think about this long and hard, which was a bit of a problem as Luffy was known to have a short attention span at times. Without another thought he got up and walked over to Sunny's head sat himself down and thought.

Luffy had stayed there for a while, thinking except for when lunch was called, obviously, and then he'd noisily make his way to get food. However, Luffy still had no idea what to do about the Nami problem, so after lunch he would once again have to go back to Sunny's head and think. When everyone had dispersed and went to do their own things, Luffy walked onto the deck and noticed a few feet away from Sunny's head was Nami checking the log pose; making sure the ship was still on course.

At that moment he decided he was going to do it right there on the spot, even though he had no idea what he was going to say. He made his way cautiously towards her making sure to be quiet so he didn't give away his position to her. Just as he was as close as possible to her back but making sure not to touch her he leaned in towards her ear and softly spoke her name.

Nami being quite oblivious to what was going on behind her almost jumped out of her skin when she heard her name being spoken and his hot breath tingle across her ear, she was sure that a blush had also at that moment spread across her face. She turned around quickly to see him standing just inches away from her, the sudden invasion of her personal space making her blush darken.

Once she had calmed down she spoke in a slightly irritated tone, "Jesus, Luffy, you scared the life out of me."

Nami looked at him as he moved to stand beside her but with their arms still touching she noticed the mischievous glint still in his eyes as he muttered a 'Sorry.' With that glint in his eyes she knew he was up to something or other.

As his eye looked up into hers the glint soon went away and seriousness entered his eyes, Nami voiced what was in her head before even thinking it through, "What's up Luffy?" she asked worried with his sudden change of expression.

Luffy hesitated before answering "... I have something to tell you but I don't know how to." It was the only thing Luffy was sure to say he was still trying to quickly figure out what to do, should he blurt it out, talk to her or take sudden 'action'?

Nami was suddenly relieved as it didn't sound too serious and was something she might be able to handle, she was then curious to know what he was going to tell her. She knew what she secretly wanted to come out of his mouth, as she had wanted him to talk about it for ages but didn't want to get her hopes up.

She replied, trying to reassure him, "Luffy just tell me, whatever it is just tell me."
To emphasis her point she rested her hand on his arm. Luffy once again didn't answer straight away but when he did, she noticed, he was self consciously looked at the floor and mumbled out something quietly.

Nami had heard him but just couldn't resist teasing him a bit, with a grin she asked, "Sorry what was that? I couldn't hear you."

He looked up at her again and noticed the grin on her face. He then realised; she was teasing him, she'd heard him but wanted to hear it again! Matching her grin as an idea popped into his head he swung himself around so he once again in front of her and put his arms of either side of her resting his hands on the railing, trapping her from escaping.

On sudden impulse he then leaned in and whispered into her ear "I... like... you" he repeated to her slowly to get the point across. Nami's earlier blush appeared but much, much heavier than previously.

Luffy leaned back to look at her face and thought she looked extremely cute with her blush lighting across her cheeks and then the sun shining down on her to make it stand out further. Nami could have sworn just when he said those words her heart skipped a beat, she'd been waiting for this for ages and look at what she was doing, just standing there blushing like a little school girl, so instead she took action.
Leaning in closer so both their noses were brushing, her sweet breath on his lips, teasing him, she then lifted her hands so one was resting on his upper arm, feeling his wiry toned arms and the other resting on his shoulder.

She brushed her lips to his before repeating his statement back to him, "I like you, too."

After that she closed the rest of the distance between them to seal their lips together. Their lips moving against each others, as the kiss started to progress but was cut short when they both heard a click and a flash.

Luffy had pulled back and looked to the left suddenly. Nami, confused, turned as well to see what had interrupted them, only to be met with a hand that had popped out from the railing prodding Luffy on the shoulder.

Looking from the arm on the railing upwards, their stood Robin in front of them a few metres away with a camera and a small devilish smile lighting her face, Luffy's face immediately cracked a huge smile and Nami looked shocked for a moment before sporting herself a catty grin.

All the while, inside she was absolutely mortified at being caught doing this, outside, of all the places and to make it worse, it was on camera! She had been so lost in the moment before kissing him to realize where she was. The flash from the camera had broken her thoughts. When the picture was taken Luffy separated himself from Nami to go look at the picture and judging from Luffy's face it was certainly a good one.

Walking over Robin passed her the camera so she could look, and looking back at her was herself and Luffy.

The first one was of her and Luffy kissing oblivious to what was going on, the sun had been behind Robin therefore lighting both her and Luffy up. Luffy was pressed flush up against Nami and she was leaning back on the railing for support, while their lips were locked in a rather passionate kiss.

The second one both of them was looking at the camera, Luffy sporting his straw hat and face cracking grin whilst Nami had a more devilish grin on her face. His arms were wrapped loosely around her hips, with his hands resting on the railing directly opposite the small of her back, making it look like she had no way out (though she wouldn't really want to escape) and Nami had her hands in the same position before being caught with the camera; her hands on his upper arm and shoulder.

Both photos were very intimate and Nami was sure that her face was blood red with embarrassment. Luffy wrapped his arm around her waist and mentioned he liked the picture and told Robin to keep them.

All Nami could do was sigh and except this picture was now part of a rapidly growing collection. Nami quietly sighed as a thought popped up in her head; she had thought Robin was a good choice for taking the pictures... obviously not.

She then looked at Robin from the corner of her eye who was talking to Luffy about ways they could possibly store these photos and her mouth turned up into a wicked grin, a plan already starting to form inside her head; she wouldn't be the only one with a picture like this.

A/N Thank god I finished this, I got stuck writing this sooo many times! There was so many ways I could have gone with this story and I picked what I thought would be the best way. I hope I haven't disappointed anyone. I've got the next idea roughly in my head but not quite as clear as this one had been, I promise to update again before I got back to school, which is next Monday, *sigh* unhappy times. After that I have no idea what I'll write.

I would really love to hear what you guys think about this chapter, what was bad, what was good, what I should/shouldn't, what you guys would like to see in future chapters after all I am writing for you guys.

If you guys have any requests for a picture you want to feature in the story just PM me and I will get writing.

Reviews make the author very happy! *hint hint* XD
