Nami shoved the door open, dragging her duffel bag behind her. Sighing she began to heave it to the living room.
She got as far as the couch. She glared at the overstuffed bag, why did it have to be so heavy?
The sudden loud thump of a blade hitting a board made Nami's head turn towards the kitchen. Sanji was standing there, chopping carrots with unnecessary force.
"Ah, Sanji dear, could you bring my bag upstairs? It starting to hurt my delicate arms." she pouted over dramatically, holding her arms out to show the invisible wounds.
He didn't even glance up, the destruction of the carrot apparently more important than her. Nami frowned, slightly irritated for having been ignored. She strode to the kitchen, hands starting to clench into fists.
"Why should I care? I don't care. That idiot can be as stupid as he wants. He's always been stupid. Stupid and messed up. Doing stupid things. Running around stupidly. Stupid stupid stupid! He can do whatever he damn well pleases. See what I care. I don't. Who would care about that idiot?"
Sanji continued muttering to himself more. Nami looked at him oddly before slowly turning her head to the stairs. She glanced back at Sanji, what exactly did Zoro do?
Slowly walking away from Sanji, Nami wondered what he was muttering about. It was obviously about Zoro, but what?
Lost in thought she walked right into Zoro's room, not bothering to knock. The question was burning on her lips when she looked up. Instantly the question was gone, a million new ones in place, as her eyebrows shot up.
There was someone in bed with Zoro...in bed! With Zoro! And better yet, a man!
Zoro was curled up against his chest, sleeping most likely, while the man had his head propped up on a hand, the other playing with Zoro's hair and tracing the features on his face.
After staring at the surprisingly lovey-dovey scene for about a minute, she politely cleared her throat. Surprised scarlet eyes flashed up to hers, a displeased scowl on his face before quickly vanishing.
"Uh, I should probably go..." he muttered awkwardly, gently removing himself from Zoro's side. He straightened his shirt and quickly made for the door. Nami silently stepped to the side to let him through, he gave her a sheepish and slightly awkward smile as he passed by.
Nami stood in the doorway, her hand still on the doorknob, shocked. As the quiet click of the front door reached her ears, her mind suddenly sped up. That man...he was the man Zoro was with before! The one Zoro broke it off with completely, or tried to anyways.
How did this happen? She was only gone, what, four days? Four days and Zoro has a boyfriend, in his house, sharing his bed!
Scrambling to his bedside, she shook his shoulder frantically, "Zoro! Wake up!" she hissed urgently.
He muttered in his sleep and flopped onto his back.
"WAKE UP!" Nami yelled, a sharp slap accompanying her words.
"Ugh, what?" Zoro muttered, blinking the sleep out of his eyes and holding his cheek as he rose.
"Why was that guy in your bed?"
He frowned, his eyebrows creasing, "What?" he asked again, staring at her blankly.
"Why were cuddling with that guy! That one guy, Mike!"
He looked even more confused before his eyes widened in understanding. He dropped her gaze, a faint blush dusting his cheeks.
"...his name is Matt..." he muttered, climbing out of his bed.
She sighed irritably, "Matt then. Just answer the question! Why was he in your bed?"
Zoro stood awkwardly at the foot of his bed, his back facing Nami. He gave a faint shrug.
"What happened? What changed your mind about the whole relationship thing?" Nami pressed before a frightening idea suddenly came to light. "Did something happen with Sanji? Did he say something? Did you do something?" she asked urgently.
"...not really..." Zoro muttered, shrugging again.
"But something did happen, tell me." Nami demanded, her eyes narrowing.
"Nothing! He just keeps glaring at me ever since he found out about Matt." Zoro said exasperatedly.
"So the Matt thing happened before this?" she asked, surprise showing in her tone.
"No, that happened today. Listen, its all messed up and I'm tired, can I go back to bed?" Zoro asked, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"No, you cant go back to bed. This serious and you, are, going, to, share." she said threateningly.
Zoro flopped onto the bed, rubbing his eyes with a sigh. "What do you want?"
"Why are you suddenly so cuddly with Matt?" Nami asked, calming down and settling into a comfortable position on Zoro's bed.
Zoro was silent for a while, "He came over and...said a bunch of...stuff." he muttered finally.
"Stuff like what?"
Nami watched his face brighten again as his hands slowly spread out to cover his face.
"...I don't know, stuff."
"Like Romeo and Juliet stuff or just 'stuff'?"
"...I never read that shit, you know that." Zoro mumbled, avoiding the question.
"Ah, but you've heard about it." Nami said victoriously, "So he came over and poured his heart out?"
"..." Zoro opened and closed his mouth twice before answering, his hands still hiding his face and eyes, "...yeah."
"And something he said made you reconsider what you told him before?"
"...yeah."
"...what did he say?"
"...he said he really liked me...that he just wanted a chance...said please and stuff." Zoro mumbled, his words almost inaudible.
"...he, begged?" Nami asked, surprised.
Zoro just nodded.
Nami sat in thought, her hands tapping at her thighs.
"And that made you want to date him?" she asked for clarification.
"...I don't know." Zoro sighed, finally letting his hands fall to his sides as he stared at the ceiling.
"You don't know if you want to date him?"
"I just don't know! He and said all that and I don't know! He's the first one to say shit like that to me, how the hell am I supposed to know what to do?" Zoro said frustratedly.
"No one has ever confessed to you? Ever?"
"No. Everyone else just bugged me about the sex. He's the first one that said he wanted to get to know me and...and...I don't know." Zoro sighed again.
"...so what exactly is your reason for agreeing?"
Zoro glanced up at her for a moment, "...I guess...I wanted to know what it was like." he said slowly, his eyes drifting back to the ceiling.
"What what was like?"
"...someone actually...liking me..." he said haltingly, a frown forming on his face as the words left his lips.
"...you think he's that serious?" Nami asked, trying to imagine herself in Zoro's shoes and how he was seeing Matt.
"...when he was talking, it reminded me of how I feel with Sanji...I guess I thought it would really suck if I said that to Sanji and he just said no... I can just end it whenever right? This way he can see why it wont work and then he would stop bothering me." Zoro's voice trailed off as he reflected on his decision.
"...what about Sanji?"
Zoro tensed slightly, "What about him?" he asked cautiously.
"Well you said before to Matt you wanted some time to think about the whole Sanji situation right? And it seems like something happened while I was gone and I thought maybe something nice happened, you know? Sanji doesn't hate you as much as you think– "
"Can you just drop it? You don't have a fucking clue because he fawns over anything with tits every second of the goddamned day!" Zoro snarled, a venomous glare suddenly fixed on her.
Nami felt her jaw drop in surprise, she had barely said anything...and she was just trying to help too...
Zoro's glare quickly dissolved and he averted his gaze to the ceiling.
"...sorry, jus' tired." he mumbled quietly, his hands raising to rub at his eyes again.
"...it's alright, I did slap you awake...are you feeling okay recently?" Nami asked, cautiously looking him over.
"'m just tired."
"How have you been sleeping?"
"...Fine?"
"...so why are you so tired?"
"How should I know?"
"Have you told Chopper?"
"There's nothing wrong, I'm just tired." Zoro insisted stubbornly.
"...alright. But before you go to sleep again, are you sure about the whole Matt thing?"
"No, I'm not sure."
"But your going to do it anyway?"
"..."
"Will you be okay?"
"...I'll be fine."
