Nami woke up and she narrowed her eyes closed for the sunlight. She stood up and walked to the window, pulling the curtains closed. She turned and looked at the bed her eyes widened not seeing Luffy. She looked at the bathroom door but it was still closed. She walked to it and put her ear against the door hoping for a sound...Nothing. She looked around again and heard something from the hallway. She walked to the door, opened it and looked in the hallway. Her eyes widened seeing Luffy sitting against the wall. She ran to him and she went on her knees. She tried to look in his eyes but his hair covered it. She tilted his head a bit via his chin and she looked in his eyes. His eyes looked shallow...
"L...Luffy...What's wrong? Why are you here?" asked Nami worried stroking his hair out of his face. He didn't answer and Nami got only more worried. "Luffy...?" Luffy opened his mouth trying to say something but he closed it fast again. Nami frowned sad and tears were collecting in her eyes. She heard something on the stairs. Her eyes widened seeing a certain face.
"Robin! Help me out!" yelled Nami. Robin looked with wide eyes and she dropped her book. She ran to Luffy and Nami and she looked at Luffy. His pale face and his lifeless eyes were terrifying.
"What's wrong with him!" asked Robin also worried.
"He doesn't talk and he's so...I don't know! Help me carry him back to bed!" said Nami scared. Robin nodded and grabbed Luffy arm. His arm was really heavy. "Careful...He can stretch..." Robin nodded and Nami grabbed his other arm. Both heard again something from the stairs. Little footsteps with a little squeak. Nami noticed the footsteps and already yelled without really knowing who it was
"Chopper! Help us out!" yelled Nami. Robin looked up and turned around looking at the stairs. The footsteps get's louder and faster. Chopper looked at Nami and Robin and his chin lay on the ground seeing Luffy. Chopper changed in strong mode and walked to Luffy, grabbing his legs. They carried Luffy to the bed and they laid him down. Chopper returned to normal and he looked in Luffy's eyes.
"A...And?" asked Nami worried. Robin also looked worried
"I...I'll be right back, he needs some medicines" Nami and Robin nodded and Chopper ran away to his room. Nami bit on her thumbnail and she sat down next to her. Robin looked at Nami and at Luffy
"Where did you sleep?" asked Robin trying to relax Nami
"E...Euhm...Here in bed, next to Luffy...I woke up and I didn't saw him and I heard something in the hallway and Luffy sat there...I don't know what to do...I can't hear him walk away so how can I protect him?" asked Nami worried. Robin frowned sad and she sat down next to Nami looking at Luffy. Chopper came back with an injection and Robin's book.
He laid Robin's book down on the bed and he walked to Luffy. He grabbed Luffy's arm and he injected him.
"I thought that you said 'medicines'..." asked Nami looking painfully at the injection.
"A shot works faster..." said Chopper cleaning Luffy's arm. "He sleeps for now, but could you walk with him outside for some fresh air when he wakes up?" asked Chopper. Nami looked at him with a confused frown.
"Is it ok if he walks? And what about his hallucinations?" asked Nami.
"Well, he could lose his balance so it's the best if you walk hand-in-hand with him and it's better for his hallucinations..." Nami nodded soft and Chopper walked to the door
"Thank you and I'll be right back again with his daily medicine...That's actually the reason why I came upstairs..." Nami nodded and Chopper walked away to his room. Nami looked at Robin and smiled
"And what is your reason?" asked Nami
"I thought you wanted some company, so here I am" smiled Robin "And don't worry I tell Sanji the reason why you're going to walk with Luffy hand-in-hand soon" Nami smiled
"Well, he can choose, or I'm going to walk with Luffy hand-in-hand or he does...his choice" Robin chuckled and grabbed her book. She looked at Luffy's 'logbook' and smiled
"I'm going to read...You too?" Nami looked at Luffy's book and blushed. She nodded and read.
-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-
Nami closed the book fast and blushed. Robin looked up and looked at Luffy's book.
"You're finished?" asked Robin. Nami nodded slowly, still looking at the same spot on the sheets where she looked when she closed the book. Robin cocked an eyebrow not knowing why she blushed so furiously. "Could you give me the book for a second?" Nami nodded and gave the book. Robin looked on the last page.
I really didn't notice that I only write a story about Nami...I don't know...Maybe because she's important to me...More than everyone else?
It's really weird...Mystery feeling?
'Hey, that last part is new...' smiled Robin. She looked at the nightstand and sees a pen. She smiled and gave the book back to Nami. Nami looked at Robin and Robin only smiled, reading her book further. Nami looked at Luffy and her eyes widened. Luffy's face looked really tense. It stopped and he blinked a few times.
"W...What happened...?" asked Luffy soft. Nami smiled and hugged him out of nowhere. Robin and Luffy looked with surprised eyes.
"You idiot! Moron! Bastard! Never do that again! I was really worried! I bit my thumbnail off!" Luffy still looked surprised and Robin laughed
"What happened?" asked Luffy
"I woke up and you didn't lie in bed anymore and I heard something from the hall way. I looked and you sat against the wall and you didn't speak or something! You got me worried!"
Luffy looked at Nami surprised but smiled
"I'm sorry" smiled Luffy. Nami didn't know if he meant it or if he's joking... She searches in his eyes for a hint but he was being honest. Luffy glanced at his book and back to Nami again. "Are you finished?" Nami looked at the book
"No...A few pages left..." Robin looked confused at Nami and Nami still looked at the book "But I think I'm going to stop with reading this...It's only about me..." said Nami with a sign.
'Lair...' thought Robin with a smile reading further.
"Aw...Come on...It's not that bad..." smiled Luffy. Nami looked at him with a smile.
"Euhm...Chopper said that you need some fresh air...So do you want to go outside?" asked Nami with a little blush.
"Yea? Can I walk?" asked Luffy happy
"Yea, Chopper said that it's ok...But you have to hold my hand for your balance..."
"Sweet! I can get out bed! I was bored..." said Luffy "Ok! Grab my clothes!" Nami smiled and stood up, grabbing his clothes. Robin stood up and grabbed her book. She walked to the door and said:
"I'm going to Sanji, explaining and all..." Nami smiled and nodded. Luffy looked confused, of course. She walked away and Nami walked to Luffy.
"Here, your clothes" smiled Nami giving his clothes to him. Luffy smiled and grabbed her hand. They walked to the bathroom and Luffy dressed. He was ready and grabbed her hand again. She closed the door behind her and they walked downstairs slowly. They were downstairs and they saw Sanji and Robin. Sanji looking the other way, ignoring them while cursing under his breath and Robin waved. Nami and Luffy waved back and walked to the exit. Luffy smiled seeing the outside world again...Well, like he sees it then...Nami looked at Luffy and smiled seeing Luffy being happy again.
"Well, I guess you're hungry, so what about going to a restaurant?" asked Nami. Luffy looked at her and grinned
"Yea, that would be awesome!" smiled Luffy "Although I don't need much...I'm not really hungry..."
"That's fine, just take what you want, I'll pay" smiled Nami. Luffy's grin grew bigger and he nodded. They walked to a little restaurant and they heard a little girl talk.
"Look mommy! Cute couple like you and dad!" Nami and Luffy both blushed and they walked faster away from the girl. They went in the restaurant and they sat down on chairs with a round table. Both sighed tiredly. Nami glanced at Luffy and Luffy looked around
"How are you?" asked Nami curious. Luffy looked at Nami and grinned
"I'm still hallucinating...I saw flying chickens and I saw smiling flowers...and meat in trees...And you're still naked..." Nami blushed and sighed. "And I'm still not feeling well"
A waitress walked to Luffy and Nami and handed a menu to them. Nami and Luffy smiled and looked through it.
"Hello, I'm your waitress for today, how may I help you?" asked the waitress
"I want a salad, please" smiled Nami
"And I want a sandwich" grinned Luffy. Nami looked at Luffy with wide eyes.
"And something to drink?"
"Orange juice, please" said both in choir. The waitress nodded and walked away. Luffy and Nami laughed
"That was funny" Luffy nodded and looked at Nami. Nami noticed and blushed a bit. "I...Is there something on my face...?" asked Nami. Luffy laughed and shook his head 'no'
"No...I just have the urge to look at you..." Nami blushed more and looked away 'How can he say that so bluntly...' thought Nami embarrassed 'No, wait...Monkey D. Luffy...He doesn't know any better...'
"Is a sandwich really the only thing you want?" asked Nami. Luffy nodded
"Is a salad really the only thing you want?" Nami grinned and nodded. The waitress came back after a few minutes and he put the plates down. Both enjoyed their dinner with a smile.

Nami and Luffy walked back to the hotel after a long walk. Luffy feels a bit better than this morning. It was already quite dark so everyone could be already sleeping. They walked to their room and Luffy yawned. They walked to their bed and Nami put her shoes off. She walked to the bathroom and brushed her teeth. She walked back to bed and she sees Luffy trying to walk. She smiled and walked to him, grabbing his hand. They walked to the bathroom and Luffy brushed his teeth. Nami smiled when Luffy was ready and they walked to bed. They lay down and slept after a few minutes.

Luffy shoot up and breathed hard. Nami woke up from him and she put the lights on. She looked worried when she saw Luffy breathing, sweating and shaking.
"Luffy...What's wrong?" whispered Nami. Luffy didn't answer. "L..Luffy?" 'Not again..." thought Nami
"I...I had a nightmare..." said Luffy still shaking
"A...About what?"
"Everyone...In my crew...got killed..." said Luffy. Nami's eyes widened.
"L...Luffy..."
"I couldn't do a thing..." said Luffy even more worse. Nami looked at him. She knows how he feels...she can't do a thing now.
"L...Luffy, it's only a dream...I'm alive, everyone is alive, so you don't have to be sad" He still shook and sweated, his breathing isn't also better. 'Luffy...' Nami looked at her hands and she glanced at Luffy's hands. She grabbed his hands and Luffy looked at her. He still looked horrible. Nami kissed his forehead and Luffy's eyes widened. He relaxed a bit. Nami looked at him and smiled, seeing his blush.
"I will never leave you...I'm not going to die...It's just a dream, understood?" asked Nami. Luffy looked at her and nodded with a smile "Do you feel better?" Luffy nodded again
"So can we sleep again?" Luffy nodded again "Cat got your tongue...?" Luffy laughed
"No..." whispered Luffy "I'm just...thinking...about something I would say or not..."
"What?" asked Nami
"It's...stupid...never mind" smiled Luffy. Nami looked confused but smiled after it. She lay down again and closed her eyes. "But..." Nami opened her eyes again "What if you really are going to die...soon...I'm going to regret it..." Nami sat up again and sighed
"I said: I'm not going to die..."
"But what if..."
"There are no if's..."
"No, I'm going to tell you now..." Nami cocked an eyebrow "Nami, I like you..." said Luffy bluntly like it's nothing. But he doesn't really know what kind of influence it has...It's his first time, nonetheless. Nami's eyes widened and a blush crept on her face. 'Euhm...'like' as in friendship 'like' or as in relationship 'like'...What does he mean! What can I do...?'
"Like like?" asked Nami
"Like like..."
"Like like like...?"
"...Like like like"
"Like like like like...?"
"Yes!"
Nami blushed more and smiled
"I like like like like you too..." smiled Nami. Luffy laughed and blushed "It's actually weird...Now that we say that...I don't feel really comfortable now in the same bed..."
"M...Me neither...But we get used to it..." smiled Luffy. Nami smiled too and lay down again. Luffy also lay down and they looked into each other's eyes, both blushing.
"G..Goodnight..." smiled Nami with a huge blush.
"Goodnight" grinned Luffy also blushing, less than Nami. Nami did the light off and it was really dark. Nami went closer to Luffy and nuzzled her nose in his chest. Luffy went tense but relaxed after a while with a smile. Nami also smiled and Luffy put his arm around her waist. Minutes passed and it was quiet until:
"Like like like like?" asked Luffy with a chuckle
"S...Shut up!"
