I do not own One Piece

A strange new feeling

Sharing space


Once they arrived at the room, Luffy opened the door and walked in. 'He doesn't even seem tired at all…' she smiled.

"Suge!! This place is awesome." He said as he sat her down on a chair. "There's a huge bath and shower in here, and a nice bathroom in a separate room." He was excited at how nice the place looked.

"It is really nice." She said with a smile. "Could you bring me to the bathroom?"

"Aa." He replied as he picked her up again and brought her to the bathroom. He then waited for her to finish up and picked her up the way he did on the ship, which made them both blush. He carried her slowly to the bed and set her down. He grinned then he turned to go to the bathroom himself.

After a few minutes he came back out and placed his hat on a dresser and took his sandals off. "You ready for bed?" he asked happily.

She blushed, "Un."

He shut the lights off and lay down on the floor at the end of the bed.

"Good night."

Nami sighed and closed her eyes. 'There's more than enough room for two up here, you could probably fit four comfortably…' she thought before she dozed off.

Nami woke up, looking around; she remembered she was in the hotel room. She looked for Luffy at the end of the bed, but he wasn't there, she began to feel uneasy. 'Where did he go…?' Then she heard a door open and looked. It was Luffy coming out of the bathroom only wearing a towel around his waist.

"Oh, good morning Nami." He greeted with a smile.

"Good morning, uh…" she was blushing.

"Oh…I took a shower." He explained.

"I see, um…can you take me to the bathroom, I could use a shower too." She asked.

"Aa." He replied as he walked over to her and picked her up the way he usually did. She blushed deeply; he wasn't wearing any cloths, besides the towel.

"What's this? You're already heating up and you're not even in the shower yet." He chuckled.

"Shut up." She said, embarrassed. He only chuckled as he placed her by the shower and walked out of the room.

"You want normal clothes, or comfortable again?"

"Ugh…I think I'll stick with comfy." She said as she smiled.

"Okay." Luffy walked to her suit case and pulled out some comfy cloths and brought them to a small table in the bathroom. Then he walked out and put on some clean cloths himself. He waited for Nami to finish up.

"Luffy…"

"Coming." He walked in and picked her up.

"Should we go down to the lobby?" he asked.

"Un…" she blushed. "I should probably get on your back."

"Oh yea…good idea." He laughed.

She got on his back, and he made his way down to the lobby. When he got there, everyone had just arrived.

"Nami-swannn, good morning….did that bastard do anything to hurt you Nami-san?" Sanji rushed over to her and Luffy.

"No Sanji, why would Luffy ever do that." She said calmly as she smiled down at Luffy.

"Eh…I guess you're right, anyways, let's go eat." Luffy looked excited at the mention of eating and everyone headed to the hotel's restaurant. Luffy sat Nami down in a chair, and then he sat down beside her.

"I'm glad you could dine with us this morning navigator-san." Robin said warmly. She smiled but didn't respond. When the food arrived, everyone was surprised that Luffy was actually being civilized as he ate.

He looked at everyone, "Nani!! You don't want me eating like I usually do, do you?" He asked sarcastically.

"No, no…it's just…it's weird to see you eat normal." said Ussop. Luffy only chuckled as Nami grinned. After everyone was done, they headed out to town; Nami had asked Luffy to bring her back to the room.

"Arigato Luffy, um…could you pick me up some stuff in town…" she asked nervously.

"Sure, what do you want." He replied happily.

"Well…I need some new clothes…" she said as she looked away.

"Okay…"

"The undergarment type." She said as she lowered her head.

"Nami….." he whined. "Why couldn't you ask Robin??" he asked as he blushed.

"I forgot." She said simply, but grinned at his blush.

"Alright, but you owe me…" he said as he walked out. She only smiled as she lay down.

Luffy was walking around town looking for a clothing store, when he had finally found one he entered and sighed. 'Oh well, guess I'll just grab a few and run out…' He walked over to the woman's section and grabbed a few bras and silky panties that he thought would look nice on Nami, he started to blush, 'EH!! Don't think like that you idiot…' he yelled at himself. Then he walked over to the counter with a frown.

"Shopping for your girlfriend?" the lady behind the counter asked with a smile.

"Oh…ah, no…she's just a friend, but she's sick and can't get out of bed…" he said as he blushed again.

"Sure…" she said as she grinned at him.

Luffy sighed and walked out with the bag of Nami's new undergarments, and then he walked around a bit more. He saw that there was a long pathway with trees on the sides, and benches every hundred feet or so. Then he kept walking until he got back to the hotel. He proceeded to walk to the stairs when he saw something that caught his eyes. He looked at a sign that was over a big, closed doorway. 'Spa….free for all current residents.' He smiled and walked over to the lady at the front desk.

"Um…how do I go about this spa thing." He asked.

She giggled. "You need to sign in your name, the amount of people you have, the selected date, and the spa room that you would like."

"Okay." He said as he signed the sheet and headed up to the room with a smile. Once he got there he opened the door quietly and walked in.

"What's with the smile?" Nami asked as she grinned.

"Huh….oh, nothing…"

"Uhuh….I'll get it out of you sooner or later…" she smiled.

"Maybe….Maybe not…" he replied with a sly grin. This only peaked Nami's curiosity, she had to find out.

"Where do you want these?" he asked, holding up the bag.

"Ugh…just stick them near the suitcase, and thank you."

Luffy groaned as he blushed and walked into the bathroom, Nami only giggled. After a minute or two he walked out and sat in a chair in the corner of the room. He looked over at Nami, "So…how are you feeling today?" he asked with a warm smile.

"Better, I don't think I'll be walking tomorrow, but maybe the next day, and by the way, how long does this log pose take to set?"

"That's good." He smiled as he leaned back and looked at the ceiling. "Robin said that the manager told her it takes two weeks."

"Ugh….two whole weeks in the same room as you…" she complained teasingly with a grin.

"Nami….that hurts…" he looked back down at her as he chuckled.

There were a few minutes of silence before Luffy spoke. "Nami?" he asked quietly.

"Hmmm?"

"Um….would you like to go get some lunch?" He asked nervously.

Nami looked up at him in surprise, but she felt herself blush, "Sure, that sounds great." She smiled.

"Okay…um…do you need to do anything first?"

"No, we can just go now." She said

"Alright…" he said as he got up and walked over to her. "Hop on then." She giggled and got up on his back, wrapping her arms around his neck. Luffy headed to the door to go to the restaurant.

"Do you want to go to the one in the hotel, or one in town?" he asked before closing the door.

"The one her is fine." She said with a smile. So he closed the door and walked for the stairs.

As he put her in a chair, he sat on the other side of the two person table. Then the waiter came over and took the orders, and was surprised by how much Luffy ordered.

When the food came Nami was glad that Luffy was eating with manners again, but she honestly wouldn't have minded if he ate his usual way. They ate in relative silence until he had finished. The waiter came over and gave them the bill.

"Arigato Luffy."

"Oh…no problem, I figured, since you've been cooped up in the infirmary for a week and then the room for the whole day, why not take you out to do something." He said with his big grin.

She smiled and looked down, her stomach was twirling. "Um….Luffy?" she asked.

"Yea?"

"A few nights ago…did you have a dream about me, I heard you whisper my name in your sleep."

"Ugh…well, actually I did." He said with a blush.

"Oh…and what was it about?" she smiled at his blush, thinking of the possibilities which only made her blush.

"Ask that some other time." He said with a grin.

She pursed her lips at him, "Mean…" Luffy laughed and leaned back in his chair, looking around the restaurant.

"Well, it was a great first date, but could you bring me back to the room?" she asked as she blushed.

"Agh………yea…sure." He said as he also blushed. 'Date??'

He put the money for the bill and tip on the table and picked her up, heading for the room. Once they got to the room, he placed her on the bed and sat in the chair again, crossed his arms and closed his eyes. She watched him for a while but eventually put her head down and closed her eyes as well. A few hours later Luffy woke up to knocking at the door. Nami also woke up and looked on as Luffy opened it.

"Oi, Luffy, how the hell do you walk up here with Nami on your back, I'm beat and I'm by myself." said Ussop as he gasped for breath.

Luffy only chuckled. "I don't know…anyways, what's up?" he asked with his smile.

"It's time for dinner, we were all going to go to a restaurant in town, you two coming?"

"Ugh….actually, I'm not really that hungry." He said with a frown.

"Huh…but you're always hungry…"

"Yea, I know…but for some reason, I'm just not hungry right now." He replied, then he turned around, "Nami…do you want to go to dinner?"

"N…not really…" she said as she looked at the floor.

"Well, okay, suit yourselves…but don't complain to me when you get hungry in the middle of the night…" blurted out Ussop as he headed back down to meet with the others.

Luffy turned to Nami confused. "You sure?"

"Un…I'm not hungry either."

"Okay, well, I'm bored." He said as he sat back down on his chair.

"Oi…at least you haven't been stuck in bed for a week." She huffed as she turned to him with pursed lips.

"Aa, that's right…gomen Nami." She only chuckled and lay back down.

"I'll have to look around town tomorrow to see if there's anything to do…"

"Yea, something exciting…I want to do something fun once I can move around better."

He looked up at her, remembering that it's a winter island. "What about ice skating?" he suggested with a grin.

She giggled, "Sounds good to me." It was around the time they would usually go to bed; Luffy had brought Nami to use the bathroom and had used it himself also. He walked over to the bedroom and shut the light off. He was at the foot of the bed again and was lying down.

"Luffy…" he heard in a faint voice.

"Hmmm?" he replied as he was situating himself.

"You know…you don't need to sleep on the floor, there's more than enough room on the bed to fit two comfortably." She said nervously.

"A…Aa…but I just thought that I should give you your space." He said, also nervously.

"Oh…are you afraid of me?" she asked teasingly.

"No…it's just…" he started.

"Just what….get up here Luffy, the floor is uncomfortable."

Luffy sighed but got up and walked to the side of the bed that Nami wasn't on, he picked up the covers and climbed in. He turned his body away from Nami as he tried to give her more space. Nami noticed and sighed as she closed her eyes.

"Good night Nami."

"Night Luffy."

A few hours later, Nami woke up noticing Luffy had turned around to face her and was closer than before. Nami blushed as she watched him sleep, she moved closer to him so that they were just barely touching, then she felt his arm wrap around her. She blushed further and closed her eyes again, with a tingling sensation running throughout her body.

The next morning Luffy woke up and noticed that he was holding Nami close to him. He jumped and got off the bed in shock. Nami had woken up and looked at him confused.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah….um…nothing, nothing's wrong." He said as he hurriedly made his way to the bathroom. 'What the hell….' He thought to himself. Nami was smiling, assuming she knew what it was about.

When he came out, he helped Nami to the bathroom and brought her to the door when she was done. Then they headed out to meet with everyone for breakfast. When they got to the lobby everyone was there waiting for them. "Oi, what the hell took you so long?" asked Zoro.

"Well, it doesn't help being on the top floor…" Nami scoffed at him. Zoro just stood there mumbling to himself. Then they headed for breakfast.

"Oi, Luffy, why didn't you come to dinner last night?" asked Chopper.

"I wasn't hungry." He blankly replied. Everyone except Nami looked at him in bewilderment.

"T..that's what Ussop said, but we couldn't believe it…" he stated.

"I don't know…for some reason I just wasn't hungry."

"Oh….that's strange." Then they continued eating.

"So…what's everyone doing today?" asked Robin.

"I was going to invite you and Nami-san to lunch." answered Sanji in his love state.

"Ugh…that's not gonna happen." replied Nami.

"Nami-san, why not…" asked Sanji.

"Because, Luffy's taking me around town today, I haven't seen anything yet, right Luffy." She said in a way that Luffy started to sweat in fear.

"Ugh…..y…yea, that's it." He replied nervously.

"Luffy, you bastard, stealing Nami from…" Sanji started but was cut off by Nami.

"He didn't do anything Sanji, I asked him to take me…" she said, getting aggravated.

"Hai…Nami-swannn." He said in his love state.

Everyone looked at her suspiciously and she noticed them. "NANI!!" she exclaimed.

"Nothing." They all replied calmly. 'What the hell was that…' thought Nami.

Franky, Ussop, and Chopper left to go work in the ship. Sanji had took Robin shopping, she wasn't thrilled that he was there, but at least he could carry her things. Zoro had gone off to train, and it was just Luffy and Nami left.

"Why'd you say that stuff?"

"Hmmm?" she asked in confusion.

"About me taking you around town…I don't remember saying that."

"Well, I didn't want to go out to lunch with him." She replied plainly.

"Oh…okay then, lets go!" 'But…why'd she go to lunch with me then??' he asked himself.

"Sure." She got on his back and they headed around to look at all the shops and sights on the small, winter island.

They were on their way back from the other side of the island and it was almost time for dinner, they had explored almost every square inch of the island, and Nami was impressed that Luffy didn't seem stressed at all. She put her chin on his shoulder and she could feel his cheeks heat up, she only smiled and closed her eyes.

Before she knew it, they were back at the hotel; she removed her chin from his shoulder when he entered. It was like the day passed her by, only seeming like minutes, not hours. Everyone was there and they all headed to the table for dinner.

"So, how'd your days go?" asked Robin, who looked over at Nami and Luffy. Nami looked at her and noticed her start to grin. She started to wonder why she kept doing that when she looked at her.

"I got a lot of training done." replied Zoro, not really interested.

Chopper, Ussop, and Franky told them of their work they did at the ship. Sanji didn't answer because Robin was with him the whole day, she would probably have nightmares from it.

"Luffy and I went to the other side of the island and back, we covered most of the island…that's really it." Nami said as she smiled over to Luffy.

"Well, that sounds like it was fun." She said with a grin.

"Ah…yea…it was." Nami said with a blush, but only Luffy and Robin noticed.

Then all of a sudden, everyone at the table heard a whistle. "Hey there pretty lady, why don't you come take a seat with us real men?" A guy from a close by table said, grinning at her. Nami just turned back to her crew, trying to ignore them.

"Oi, I was talking to you." The man said as he got up and walked over to her angrily.

"OI." He yelled this time.

"It's not smart to talk to my nakama like that." Luffy stated simply.

"Screw you; I'll do what I want." By this time about five other guys were standing behind him. He grabbed Nami by the arm and lifted her up, she had screeched a bit from the pain. The guys started chuckling as he was turning and walking away with Nami, she was looking at Luffy with a look of terror, then she saw his expression. His face was tilted down so his hat covered his eyes from sight, she could tell his teeth were clenched and his fists were also, but other than that he looked completely calm.

"Let her go." He said in a stern voice as he walked up behind him.

"Ha…I don't think so kid. Just get out of my sight, let's go girl, we can have some fun together." Nami's eyes widened at what they were insinuating. Luffy had a grin on his face and she looked on confusedly towards him. 'What the hell?' she thought. He was right behind him, and all of his guys were at the door already.

"Okay, I asked you nicely." Luffy said as his grin turned sour, Nami saw him tilt his head up and the look on his face was that of hatred.

Luffy grabbed the guys shoulder and tightly squeezed it until he let go of Nami, then he gently brought her behind him. Robin held Nami up, considering she couldn't stand great on her own. Luffy continued to walk the guy out of the building. Once he was outside, still grasping his shoulder tightly, his crew was also there watching and the guy's men were there. He brought him a little further into a park area, then he let go.

"Oh, you'll pay for that, guys get him." said the main guy.

Chopper was worried. "Shouldn't you guys help him, its six against one?" He asked nervously, Nami was just looking at Luffy.

"He doesn't need help with these punks." stated Zoro.

"Aa…he would only get mad if we helped." added Sanji.

Luffy tilted his head down again and grinned. "No, you're going to pay for thinking about Nami like that…" then when all the guys were close to him, he just beat the shit out of them and gave an extra punch…or five, to the main guy's face. Surprisingly, Luffy didn't use his rubber ability at all. He dusted himself off and walked over to the crew with a smile.

"Well, let's get back inside, its cold out here." He said as he got down for Nami to climb onto his back.

"Arigato Luffy." She said, referring more to beating the shit out of the guys than carrying her.

"No problem, you can't walk easily on your own yet." But he knew what she meant. And she knew that he knew also, and she smiled.

They sat down and continued their meals and conversations as if nothing happened.

"Excuse me sir, violence is not tolerated here." said a little old man nervously, who seemed to be the manager.

"Oh, sorry, but that's why I took him outside, he was hurting and talking badly of my navigator." He said as he pointed to Nami who blushed.

"Ah…I see, very well then." He said as he walked away, obviously scared.

Luffy didn't respond and continued eating right after glancing at Nami who met his eyes for the split second. When they were all done they said their good nights and went to their separate rooms.
