Confrontation

Nami looked around the room at the different equipment Zoro had. The weights were almost as big as she was and she knew they weighed several times more. She leaned back against the wall and waited. Zoro was bound to show up soon, he usually spent most of the afternoon training and since he had been off torturing her with his cryptic words before lunch he hadn't done any earlier.

She kicked her sandals off and stretched her legs out in front of her as she sat down. She sat and waited and the longer she sat the more her courage started to fail her. It was harder to steel her reserves without Robin's encouragement and she briefly considered going back to the deck and ignoring the whole thing. But Nami did not like being played with and so she stayed.

Sometime later Zoro came in and Nami looked up at him from her spot on the floor. At first Zoro was startled, after all Nami had never sought him out before or ever been to his training room. But then his usual calmness reinstated itself and he smirked at her knowingly. His smirk infuriated her and she wished she could turn this around on him somehow. Thinking of Bellemere-san for inspiration she thought that just maybe she could seduce her way into control of the situation.

"Whew, it's pretty hot in here"

"What do you want?"

Nami ignored his question and slowly peeled off her shirt so she sat in her bra. She tossed it beside her and started to fan herself with her hand. She smiled to herself as Zoro swallowed hard.

"So this is an interesting room. Nice and peaceful. Maybe I'll relax up here more often. It's very... private" Nami drawled slowly perusing Zoro's lean body on the last part.

"Err... I guess it is"

Zoro looked slightly unsure which helped to calm Nami and she looked around the room careful to ignore Zoro. After a few minutes she stretched and stood up. Then when she was sure Zoro's eyes were on her she slowly bent down to scoop up her shirt and sandals treating him to a nice view of her chest. With the shirt over her arm and the sandals dangling from her fingers she sauntered past him to the door. With a small smirk she tossed out some pointed words of her own.

"I'm going to go see if Sanji can whip me up something... satisfying. Bye"

Once back on the deck Nami paused, unsure what to do next. She hadn't really thought of what to do after leaving. She might as well put her shirt back on and get started on some maps she wanted to draw. She was just about to put her shirt back on when she noticed Zoro coming towards her. Nami wasn't about to let him catch her bluff so she headed to the kitchen shirt off.

Zoro caught up to her just as she was about to push open the door to the kitchen. He slid his arm around her waist and pulled her to the side.

"What the hell's your problem?"

"You are not going in there like that"

"I'll go in there if I want"

"The stupid love-cook is already obsessed with you. You shouldn't go in there half-naked."

"What's it matter to you. Maybe I like Sanji's advances. Maybe I like him"

"That's insane. And I don't care I just thought you had more self-respect than that"

After hearing that Nami drew her hand back and brought it across Zoro's face as hard as she could. She turned to storm off but he reached out and caught her arm.

"Sorry. I didn't mean that. It's just the love-cook? Really?"

Nami just glared at him, not ready to let him off so easily.

"Can we go somewhere and talk?"

Nami decided that talking would be ok since that had been her plan all along. She nodded and led him to her room. He followed her in but hesitated when he noticed Robin looking through her stacks of books. She looked up and noticed them.

"Miss Navigator, Mr Swordsman I was just leaving."

"Thanks Robin" Nami said with a small smile.

"Mr Swordsman what happened to your face? It is all red" Robin asked and Nami cringed a little.

"Oh err Nami slapped me"

"Oh" and then she left leaving them alone.

Nami sat down on her bed and indicated that Zoro should sit on the chair beside it. Now that they were both sitting she didn't really know what to say. She decided since Zoro had said he wanted to talk he could bring the subject up.

"Look I'm sorry for saying that. Sanji just gets on my nerves and you don't usually encourage it."

"Ok apology accepted"

"Why did you say that anyways? I mean do you enjoy making me miserable... never mind stupid question"

"Well I must admit it is pretty fun but this time it was just payback."

"Payback?"

"If you're the death of me darling then I wanna die? Ringing any bells?" Nami was pleased to see him blush a little.

"Yeah about that... I'm not very good with words"

"What the hell does that even mean anyways?"

Zoro shifted uncomfortably in the chair looking everywhere but at her. Nami took pity on him and decided to help him out a little.

"I mean is that a good thing or nor?"

"I don't know. I guess it depends on how you feel about me."

"You're here aren't you"

"Then I guess that it is a good thing"

"So why make it so complicated and morbid?"

"It sounded smooth in my head" Zoro mumbled into his chest and Nami giggled.

Nami smiled at the image of Zoro trying to come up with something smooth to say to impress her. She decided that she could forgive him since it had after all been for her benefit even if it had backfired on him. However that being decided she still couldn't resist playing with him a little more, make him sweat a bit. She stood up from her bed and stood in front of him. Zoro looked up at her hesitantly and she sat down, straddling his lap. The action caused her skirt to ride up some and she knew he noticed. She let her fingers slowly crawl up his chest watching their progress.

"Zoro?" she said softly

"Yeah?" he replied his breathing increased

"don't ever do something like that again though, okay" her mouth was now inches from his.

Zoro just swallowed hard and nodded. She leaned in even closer and his hands moved to rest softly on her hips.

"oh and Zoro"

"Mhmm?"

"could you do me a favour" she breathed and once again all he could do was nod. "I'm a tad tired, do you think you could leave so I could have a nap."
