__________In The Village_____________
"LUFFY! LUFFY!!" Sanji continued to call out for the disappeared captain.
Zoro had long stopped screaming for him and was now simply walking around with Sanji as he continued to search for the rubber boy. "We've been doing this for 4 HOURS, I'm pretty sure he's back on the boat. He may be a little simplistic, but he's really not as stupid to be lost for so long."
"That is what Luffy said about you and we didn't see you for 2 days!"
"HEY! It's wasn't 2 days, it was 8 hours!! And that because those bastards I asked for directions from gave me bad information!!!"
"Yeah, yeah whatever, LUFFY!"
"Ugh..."
____________Back on the Thousand Sunny_____________
Nami finished whatever she was doing in her room, whether it was napping, sulking, CRYING, whatever, she didn't care at this point. She walked down the stairs as she grumbled in anger still at what Sanji had said. "Stupid Sanji.... gay... bullshit...."
"Hey Nami!"
The orange haired girl looked up to see the young captain on the Thousand Sunny head.
"Oh... hey Luffy." She tried to be happy but an unsettling feeling in her stomach showed Luffy something was bothering her.
"Nami," He jumped of the head, "Are you ok?"
"What!?? Of course, don't be silly. Hey, weren't you suppose to be somewhere with Zoro and.... Sanji." She said that last part in total anger.
"Yeah, but what we were gonna do didn't seem fun."
"Really? What were you going to do?" She knew it was something about the idiotic charade of Sanji's in trying to prove he was gay or not, but she didn't know what.
"I'm not too sure, I think it had something to do with have sex with some prostitutes, I don't know why we would do that in a GROUP though. Weird."
"UGH!" Nami was disgusted, "Prostitutes! Geez... that Sanji!- Wait, did you say SEX?... Did you just say PROSTITUTES!?!?!"
Luffy seemed confused, "Yeah, why?"
"Hold on a minute! You know what SEX is?????"
"Uh... yeah, I thought everybody did."
Nami shook her head to get a grip of herself, "Well, most people yeah but.... I.... I mean we... the crew... We didn't think YOU knew."
"Why not?"
"Well... You never showed any signs or anything about it. Not like Sanji anyway. I mean... even USOPP has had a conversation or two about women and stuff like that but... You, you never said a word of such."
Luffy shrugged, "Never saw a reason why."
Nami couldn't believe it, she didn't want to sound perverted, but she had to ask, "You DO know what its about and how to do it? Why would you not want to.... well.... try?"
Luffy thought for a moment, then everything started to make sense, "OH! Is that was Sanji meant when he was talking about seeing women naked the other day and about their boobs! I get it! Well, I just don't think sex should consume a person. There is so much other exciting things in the world. Sex is for people who love each other not every day activities."
Nami couldn't believe it, not only did Luffy know what sex was... he could grasp the reasonable part of it. That it wasn't supposed to be a constant, casual thing. "Who told you about sex anyways?"
"Makino, she was like a mom to me growing up and one day I heard some guys in the bar talking about prostitutes they were just with and I asked Makino about it and she calmly told me. I thought it was interesting how much she was calm about telling me. But she was a strong woman and I guess she just felt like I was mature enough to handle it. She liked me a lot so she thought I could handle anything. I think I was about 13 when she told me."
Then Nami thought she was far enough now, she HAD to ask the question. ".... Have you ever had sex?"
Luffy wasn't red, but he had a small blush, "No....... You?" that's when his blush really showed. As did Nami's.
"I.... er..... .um........ N-no...."
They were up against the rail and Luffy slid closer to her. "It's ok Nami, no one should be thought of less as a person just because they haven't had sex yet or should they be considered better just because they've slept with a lot of people." He gave her a grin.
Nami couldn't believe the sense he was making, but then again, Luffy had that effect. She smiled finally and slid a little closer to Luffy to let him put a hand on her shoulder to comfort her.
Her heart beat increased and she turned a little more red. "Uh.... Luffy.... There is something I want to ask you...."
"What is it Nami?"
She looked up at him and their eyes connected.
The sun continued to go down as the shadows of their heads connected....
_____________ Hours later - 8:00______________
"DINNER!" Sanji called out crankily. Not only was Luffy on the ship whey he and Zoro finally came back to the ship, but he wasted HOURS of his 'precious' time searching for him. When he asked why in the world he left Luffy seemed more preoccupied with something else as he ran off after something and didn't give him an answer. But he was still determined to get proof Luffy was gay.
As everyone sat down, some people s moods seemed a little off. Mainly Luffy and Nami's.
Sanji decided to see if he could get Luffy in another 'trap' for tomorrow.
"So.... Luffy.... I was thinking.... the next island we come to.... Maybe we could all go to the beach? We haven't all had a fun day together for a while..... Who knows maybe-"
Nami couldn't take it anymore, "OH MY GOD SANJI CAN YOU JUST SHUT UP! HE'S NOT OK! GET OVER IT!!"
She ran out of the dining room in anger and tears down her face.
"What the hell was that about?" Franky asked.
Luffy said nothing and ran after her.
Robin sighed, "Mr. Cook-san, Mr. Swordsman-san, I think you two should go up their as well." Nami had told her everything and she too was upset at Sanji's allegations. But there was something else Nami told her and she believed Sanji and Zoro should hear it.
Curiosity made them not argue and the two men went up to the deck as well.
"Robin-chan, what is going on?" Franky asked as Usopp, Chopper and Brook looked at her.
"Just something silly, don't worry about it my friends." She then giggled, "I'm sure the resolution will be something to see, but let us not pry."
________
"NAMI!" Luffy caught up to her and grabbed her hand to stop her.
"LET GO LUFFY!!"
"What is going on here!!?!?" Sanji and Zoro made it up as well.
Nami looked at Sanji angrily, "YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON SANJI! WELL IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT ANYWAYS!!"
"What!? What did I do!?"
Nami clenched her fists, "Well Luffy's NOT gay that's for sure!!"
Sanji was confused..... then he thought about it.... And did Zoro.
Sanji's jaw dropped, "WHAT!??!?! Nami-swan NO!!!! Please! Please tell me you didn't!!!"
Zoro started laughing, "OH MY GOD! AHA! I WAS RIGHT! He's NOT gay! Told you this would in bad for you!"
Luffy wasn't sure what they were talking about but he didn't care. "Nami please, talk to me."
She jerked away from him. "Get away! It was a mistake ok! I.... It was..... just stop! It was stupid!"
Zoro stopped laughing, wiping a tear from his eye. Then he realized it wasn't funny, "Oh shit, you guys really did it. You and Luffy had SEX!"
Nami blushed, "It was a mistake."
Luffy started getting angry, "Quit saying that! No it wasn't!"
"Luffy you don't get it! It... it wasn't supposed to be like this! I.... I always liked you but.... It wasn't supposed to happen the way it did.... it was too fast..." She started to cry again.
"Is that why you ran out when we finished?"
Sanji looked as if he was having a MASSIVE heart attack. "I-I can't feel my chest."
Zoro looked at him, "Shut up! They're trying to work something out here!"
"Nami, I... I love you, we can take slow, I don't care, as long as I'm with you...."
Nami looked at him with a small smile, "That's what I want, I just.... I don't know why I did that. I was just caught up in the feelings I had at that moment. And after we did it... I felt things would change between us."
He took her face in his hands, their eyes meeting. "Nothing will Nami, except the strength of our love. I promise." He kissed her, and she returned it.
"Oh my god.... I can't believe this is happening." Sanji's mind had pretty much exploded and he was now a dumbfounded shell.
"You think that's bad.... I won the bet...." Zoro cracked his knuckles.
Sanji looked very scared, "Zoro wait!"
*WHAM!!!*
Sanji went to the floor, hands in between his legs.
"And you got 9 more coming for the rest of your life DartBoard. I think I'll save one for my death bed....." Zoro walked off triumphantly as Luffy and Nami hugged each other in the moon light.
"I love you Luffy."
"I love you too Nami."
"................... o~~w............"
