Nami and Luffy

Nami stared at the cabin door deep in thought. "Why? Why can't I just figure him out?" Nami growled as she unlocked the door heading in. Luffy came in the cabin a few seconds later carrying their entire luggage.

"Where do you want me to put this stuff?" Luffy questioned with a smile. Nami turned and scowled.

'Why am I stuck with him? Ok, so I did want to spend time with him before, but seriously I snapped out of it. I don't want to change and that's what I was doing. I mean come on; I took 300,000 berri off his debt. I can't just do that, how will I make any money…but he did give me all that treasure, which was well worth more than that. It's still not like me. What was with that whole thing earlier too?'

~Flashback~

Everyone got to their snowmobiles after they decided who stayed with whom. Robin and Franky were the first to take off, both being the most level headed when it came to decisions, then Sanji, Ussop and Chopper left after a game of rock paper scissors to decide the driver. Sanji didn't seem very happy with the close guy-to-guy contact. Nami laughed to herself as she tied down the luggage ignoring the last two roommates argued and pushing from control of the vehicle.

"I'm driving!" Luffy cried in excitement.

"No." Nami declared giving him a glare. "Remember what happened when you drove the waver on Sky Island. If you were alone I'd say go for it but I'm not going to ride on the same vehicle you're driving. I value my life."

"Ahhh, but Nami…" Luffy pouted "I promise I'll be a good driver."

"Promising doesn't help if you're not actually a good driver." Nami stated as she poked him in the chest.

"Please! Just give me a chance." He pouted more. Nami just slouched knowing she was defeated. She couldn't resist giving him whatever he wanted, or beating him up, when he gave her that pout, but she wasn't in the mood to beat him.

"Fine, but be careful." She warned. Luffy just smiled and walked over to the snowmobile. He jumped on patting the seat behind him for Nami to come and sit. Nami bit her lip slightly but followed and sat behind him as she wrapped her arms around him before he took off leaving Jessie and Zoro behind. They went along slowly as she relaxed against his back. She had to admit it was comfortable.

~Flashback~

"Nami?" Luffy questioned slightly concerned. Nami shook her head quickly before blushing. She had been staring at him the whole time she was in thought. Luffy tilted his head slightly with a concerned frown.

"What?"

"It's just, you didn't answer, and your face was all funny." Luffy said quietly hoping she wouldn't be offended at the last part.

"What do you mean my face looked weird?" She scowled slightly.

"Well you went from a mad face then a happy face then another mad face and then a, well, kind of happy, but not overly happy, face." Nami frowned slightly she didn't even notice she was showing the emotions she relived in her thoughts.

"I'm fine." She stated.

"Ok, then where do you want your stuff?"

"My room obviously."

"M'kay." Luffy chirped as he ran through every room in the small cabin looking for a bedroom. Nami frowned as she watched him dash off. She looked around the living room thinking to herself.

Nami's thoughts

Why can't I figure him out? He's always so stupid and annoying and energetic, I mean the kid never sits down, but he drove so carefully and slow on the way to the cabin. His usual energetic personality only showed through twice when he sped up and accidently tripped the snowmobile throwing us in the snow. Which wasn't that bad, it was kind of fun to roll in the snow for a bit, but the trip seemed to take forever because he was going so slow.

It was so different then when he was riding the waver for the guys. He was wild and out of control. He is always like that, but when it's just us he is so much calmer. He still is childish and energetic but it was still much less than usual.

He wasn't like that for anyone else on the crew. Maybe he's just scared of me, but maybe he doesn't see me the same way as everyone else. Maybe he doesn't act all energetic and wild around me because he doesn't view me as a friend like the rest. To him I could just be a navigator, just a crewmate. He did call me his nakama, but maybe he just thinks that's what crewmate means. Maybe we haven't connected the same way he has with the others.

Wait! Why do I care? Ok…I care; I want him to like me. Maybe we can build that relationship that he has with everyone else this weekend. I want him to be my friend, I know I do. I won't be mean to him this week, or hurt him, and then maybe we can be as close as he is with the others. Ya I'm going to do it for me and for him.

Regular story

Nami smiled to herself as Luffy entered the room giving her a confused look. "What happen?" He asked, curious of her sudden mood change.

"Nothing just thinking about what I'm going to do during our week of vacation."

"Oh…um…Nami…" Luffy stuttered quietly. Nami hummed showing she acknowledged him as she continued looking around the room with a smile on her face. "There's only bedroom…with only one bed." He paused to wait for her response. Nami didn't say anything but her smile turned cold. "But the bed is cool…it's shaped like a heart!" He chirped hoping his tone would affect her mood or reaction.

"Is that so?" Nami muttered quietly. Her smile instantly turned into a scowl. How didn't she see this right away? If she was actually paying attention as she looked around she would've noticed the odd décor of the cabin. Everything was in the shape of a heart, even the fireplace. It was a romance cabin, a honeymoon cabin, a fucking fuck cabin. "You're fucking kidding me! Jessie!" Nami cursed as she pulled at her hair slightly freaking out. Luffy cringed at her outburst but tried to calm her.

"The bed is really soft and has really nice blankets." He smiled slightly till Nami shot a death glare his way.

"Oh, you think you're sleeping on the bed, huh?" She hissed in a low tone. "I don't think so!" Screw it all now. She was in a bad mood, and nothing mattered when she was in a bad mood. "Why don't we set some ground rules? I get the bed, blankets, and pillows…and I will not share the bed with you. I will cook the meals, but each meal will cost you 300 berri, and you will do the dish and clean kitchen when we are done. You are to leave me alone, no bugging me, that means no games, no begging, no whining, no anything. I'm going to work on my maps and you are going to sit there quietly, got it!" Nami yelled as Luffy shook his head yes. "Good. Now I'm going into the kitchen to work. You" she pointed at him then to the floor, "stay here, and be quiet." She said in a sugary sweet tone before storming off to the room.

Luffy frowned deeply as he sat down. He knew Nami wasn't mad at him, she was just mad that things didn't work out the way she wanted. She was letting out her anger so he let her, he could handle it, and it made her feel better so he would just take it. She was one of his best friends so he'll do whatever he can to make sure she is happy.

Nami stormed into room and stopped in her tracks as she noticed her bags were all empty and stacked in the corner. "Where are my clothes?" She asked herself before turning and seeing the shelves filled with her closed and other necessities. They were piled in sloppily, but they were still organized into the closet space and nowhere else. She frowned to herself before grabbing her map stuff that he put on the large night stand. 'Maybe I should apologize. He even unpacked my stuff to help me.' She sighed and walked out of her room and to the kitchen trying her hardest to ignore the man sitting on the floor in front of the couch. She didn't mean that exact spot, he could've sat on the couch, or anywhere in the living room, she just wanted him to stay in that room.

Luffy kept his head down as Nami walked through to help her mood by keeping to himself but he was so bored. He heard her feet hit the hardwood floor of the kitchen and he raised his head before lolling his head back with a groan. He jumped and covered his mouth remembering what Nami said. 'Damn. Please tell me she didn't hear me.' Luffy whimpered in his head.

Nami laid her stuff on the table thinking over what she had done and what was left as she heard a soft groan then sharp intake of breath from the other room. She smiled slightly knowing that breath was Luffy trying to hide his whine. She giggled a little before looking over to the counter. Sitting on the counter was the oddest thing. It was square and silver with black numbers and letters digitized into it. She observed it before realizing what it said. The thing told the time, date, temperature, humidity, and air pressure. "I could use one of those on the ship." She smiled as she got up to pick the clock up to look at it more closely. "I'll see what Franky can do to make it work on the ship." She thought out loud before she noticed the time. 'Time for supper.' She thought before looking through the fridge and cupboards.

She cooked a good home cooked meal, not even close to as good as Sanji's food but still decent. "Luffy! Come in and eat!" She called as she rummaged through the cupboards noticing a bottle of champagne. She bit her cheek in thought before shrugging her shoulders and taking the bottle out closing the cupboard door. Luffy walked in as to not agitate Nami's mood swings. Nami watched him sit and eat slowly completely out of character. It just wasn't right.

"Luffy eat anyway you like." Nami said as she poured a glass of champagne. Luffy smiled before he tore into his meal as fast as he could. His food was gone before Nami was even seated at the table. She raised an eyebrow before she started on her own food.

"Can I have some Nami?" Luffy asked.

"Luffy…you already ate your food. This is my food and no you can't have any. I don't wish to starve."

"No I mean your drink."

"My drink?" Nami questioned. "You drink alcohol?"

"Ya me and Ace would drink some off and on when growing up."

'No wonder he is so screwy.' Nami thought to herself with a chuckle. "Sure the bottles on the counter." She stated motioning her head towards it. Luffy smiled and got up as fast as her could to get a glass for himself. Nami smiled and got up to go to her room to change into some more comfortable clothes. "Don't forget to clean the kitchen." She sang as she waved over her shoulder heading out.

Luffy watched her go, her hips swaying like always. He always loved they way she swayed her hips in such a seductive way. He just couldn't help but watch. He leaned his back against the counter leaning on his left elbow and downing the glass of champagne in his right hand. He let out a satisfied sigh when he finished the glass of alcohol enjoying the burn it left behind. He placed the champagne glasses on the table and collected the other dishes to wash. Nami came back into the room right when he finished the dishes. He smiled at her before leaving to the living room.

Nami went to her room and started digging through her clothes before pulling out a pair of black sweat pants and a pink tank top. She changed into her new cozy clothes before heading back to the kitchen to start work on her maps. She entered right as Luffy put the last few dishes away. She was amazed; she didn't hear a single dish break. She was about to praise him but he just smiled and walked out before she could say anything. Now she was seriously regretting what she said earlier. She wanted him to talk to her, even though she told him she didn't.

An hour later Nami was started to get a little aggravated at the map she was working on. She just couldn't get it right no matter how many times she redid it. She wrinkled her nose in annoyance before turning to the living room to see Luffy sitting in the same spot he was earlier. She sighed as she watched him. He looked so bored and lonely. Did she say she wanted to improve their friendship? She smiled slightly as she got up and went to her room and grabbed a pack of cards she packed to entertain herself during down times.

"You want to play a game?" Luffy jumped at the sound of Nami's voice. He turned to see her shuffling a deck of cards.

"What game?" Luffy asked instantly perking up.

"You choose."

"Gold Fish. I'm good at Gold Fish." Luffy said giving her a big grin. Nami a thought for a second before shaking her head.

"It's fun but let's try something slightly more challenging. How about Crazy 8s?" Nami suggested. Luffy nodded his head as she started to deal. She shivered slightly noticing the cold now that she wasn't concentrating on the whole Luffy thing. "I'm going to start a fire." She stated as she scooted to the fireplace.

"I got an idea." Luffy chirped as he jumped up and ran to the kitchen. Nami watched him go before smiling and starting the fire. Luffy ran back in with the two champagne glasses and the bottle of champagne. He stopped as he saw Nami still working on the fire with her butt in the air pointing right at him. He blushed deeply before turning away. He gave a slight cough to get her attention. "Nami…" she stopped and looked up at him as he gave her a glass, "I thought we could drink some more champagne." She smiled and accepted the glass.

"That sounds good, mind pouring them?" She asked giving him her glass as she turned to get the fire to start. He nodded and set the glasses down pouring some champagne in each before setting the bottle in the middle. Nami turned around after she finally got the fire started. "Ok are you ready?"

"Mm-hmm." Luffy hummed as he grabbed his cards. Nami picked hers up and chuckled slightly till Luffy looked and she put on her usual poker face.

'Perfect,' Nami thought, 'I have all four eights, talk about lucky. This round should be quick, but it doesn't matter it's still a win.' "Dealer goes first." She said as she place down the ten of diamonds. "Ok Luffy you want to lay a card down over mine that has the same number or suit, but if you have an eight of any suit you can place it and change the suit to whatever you want. Got it?" Luffy nodded with a smile. "Ok then, it's your turn." He smiled and looked at the card then his own.

"What do you do if you don't have the right card?"

"Oh you keep drawing from the pile till you get a card that will work."

"Oh ok." Luffy smiled as he drew a card. He looked at it disappointed before drawing another, then another, then another. He kept drawing card after card looking even more disappointed every time he saw the new card. Nami sat there dumbfounded as he continued to draw all the cards in the deck. She let him continue as she drank some champagne. The deck was down to the last card and Luffy picked it up and frowned. "Nami, I can't find the card. Does that mean I lose or win?"

"Huh? What do you mean you can't find a card?" She asked.

"There is no ten of diamonds left in the pack." He stated with a pout. Nami sweat dropped before letting her head hang.

"Luffy you don't need the ten of diamonds exactly you need a ten or a diamonds." She stated.

"But you said a need a card that has the same number and suit."

"No I said number OR suit."

"Oh I see." Luffy said with a look of awe on his face. He gave her a big smile. "Should we start again?"

"Ya we can." Nami said as she piled all the cards up and shuffled them before dealing another hand. Three hours later they played many rounds of Crazy 8s, Gold Fish, and some other simple games, and they went through the whole bottle of champagne. Luffy's cheeks were a little rosy but Nami was perfectly fine.

"Well I'm going to bed." Nami stated as she stretched in a similar way a cat would before rising from the floor. "G'night Luffy." She said before heading to the bed forgetting to close the door behind her.

"Night Nami." Luffy waved to her before yawning. He crawled back to the front of the couch as Nami crawled under the covers in her bed. The fire had been put out so it didn't get out of control when they were asleep which caused the cabin to become much colder. Luffy stretched and sat down cross legged before he started to relax so he could sleep. Nami curled up and was asleep within minutes, but that didn't last long.

It was only an hour and a half since she crawled into to bed and she only managed to sleep for half an hour. She spent the last hour trying to fall back asleep. She gave up trying fifteen minutes ago as her mind wondered to her earlier problem. Luffy. She kind of felt bad. She would feel worse though if his snoring wasn't so fucking loud. 'How can he even snore in that position?' She thought as she sat up to see the raven haired boy sleeping in front of the couch, not on, but in front of the couch, with his legs crosses, arms laying limply on his lap, and head lolled forward.

Luffy shivered slightly in his sleep and Nami frowned deeply. 'Oh, don't think that way. He doesn't deserve anything. It's his own fault for dressing like that in winter weather, and he's stupid, and childish, and immature, and he's…he…he doesn't deserve to sleep on the floor in the cold. He's so kind and generous. He's always helping others, especially me, and what says I deserve this bed and these blankets. Ya I cooked, but I charged him, which I can always just take from the treasure he gave me. Yeah that'll make it less greedy…but he still doesn't deserve the cold floor, he did drive the snowmobile nicely and he carried all the stuff, he even tried to put all my stuff away for me. He did dishes to and everything I asked…and…and…oh knock it off Nami. He did it to himself, he has a couch.' Nami argued with herself before pulling the pillow over her head as if to block it all. 'Oh, I can't just leave him like that.' Nami thought one last time before tearing the pillow off her head and jolting out of bed.

Nami wrapped up the blankets that were on her bed and started carrying them out to the living room. She stopped in front of Luffy before dropping them on the floor. She gave a sigh not believing what she was about to do but she knelt over and covered Luffy's sleeping form with her blankets. Once she was sure they wouldn't fall off and all his bare skin, except face, was covered she stood and started heading back to bed not even noticing the quietness of the room.

As Nami turned a hand shot out and grabbed her wrist. She turned back at looked down at the hand before her gaze fell on Luffy. He was looking at her with an unreadable expression. "You'll get cold without your blankets." He stated not worrying about himself at all.

"It's ok I have the bed and pillows so you can have the blankets." Nami smiled sincerely before it became nervous as Luffy's gaze never left her. He smiled slightly as he loosened his grip.

"You said you won't show the bed with me, so how about the floor?" He inquired with a small smile still playing on his lips. She bit her lip slightly as a sudden chill came. She resisted the urge to shiver but gave in and decided it was better than sleeping in the cold.

"Ok," She said quietly as he situated himself so the blanket wrapped around him before opening his arm to the side inviting her into the warmth. She smiled as she snuck in sitting down next to him as he wrapped the blankets around both of them. "but no groping, cuddling, snoring, or drooling." Luffy chuckled lightly.

"Deal." He said as he wiggled a bit finding a comfortable position to sleep in. Nami sighed as she did the same. Fifteen minutes later Luffy was out like a light and breaking rules one, two, and four. Surprisingly he wasn't snoring. Maybe just having someone touching him while he slept got rid of that, but at the moment Nami didn't care. She got him to stop drooling somehow but he still had his arms wrapped around her, one around her chest and the other around her back with his hand resting on her stomach, and his head resting against hers.

She told him but it really didn't matter. He can't control what he does in his sleep now can she. She could control however how comfortable she was with it. She gave up on the rules and decided to make the best of it. He was really warm and comfy. She started to shift until she slid onto his lap. She wiggled some more until his strong arms were wrapped around her shoulders and she was curled up on his lap. She nuzzled her head under his chin and gave a content sigh. She had to admit she was comfortable and she sure as hell felt safe and also loved in a way. She smiled to herself before finally she drifted into a warm peaceful slumber.

Hope it's enough LuNa to tide you over. I kind of want to develop their relationship a little slower.

It's been so long since I typed that I hope I haven't lost my skill. Please tell me if you think it's just as good, improving, or deproving (not sure if that's a word but I'll use it).

Thanks for sticking through the long chapter updates but I'm trying to write more than one chapter at a time so I can get them out without long waits.

Please review!

PS: I'm back baby lol

PPS: This took me 5 hours to write and I was up till 3:00 a.m. writing, granted I started at 10:00 p.m. I still have quite a bit of mistakes.
