A/N: This was done because Luffy x Nami fics containing a 'jealousy' theme are always having Luffy as… well, the victim. Either he sees something that hurts him, and stuff. Yeah. How about for a change?
Call this the 'Trust' series.

Pairing/s: Luffy x Nami, Luffy x Robin. (Confusing much?)
Rating: T
Notes: Nami's POV.

Tonight, he didn't come.
I was expecting him to, since his nighttime visits are already like a habit that we both enjoy. Like an unspoken agreement between us. He calls it 'a way of showing things' to me, I call it 'a stolen chance'. And it happens quite frequently, I wouldn't deny that.
But tonight, no knock at my door. Just when we could both be alone in this room, since it's Robin on the watch. Just when now is perfectly the right moment.
I admit. I was looking forward tonight. I was practically begging the time to go faster three hours ago. Back in the dining room, during our dinner, I gave Luffy a meaningful glance. The 'tonight' glance, if you get what I mean.
And as always, he wasn't supposed to react to that. Heck, what should we do if anyone in the crew catches up on whatever it is Luffy and I were having? This kind of thing should be kept a secret, and should remain as one.
And yet, he didn't come.
It's been ten whole minutes since I noticed that he was later than usual. What's keeping him?
I decided that it would be best to check. After all, their room is just beneath ours. And I could get a beverage or two, while I'm at it. Besides, it's a short way from here to the kitchen. Just a couple of stairs and walks and I'm there.
And with that, I left our room.
As I closed the door, I figured I should go and check on Robin as well. Maybe bring her something hot to drink. It's cold tonight, and it's colder when you're alone on top of the crow's nest.
I climbed down some stairs, took a deep breath before turning the knob of the men's quarters. I peered inside, and waited for my eyes to adjust.
But to my surprise, no sign of Luffy in there. Not even his hat. No, he's not really there.
So where the hell is he?
I closed the door and tried to think and imagine where the hell would I go at night if I were Luffy. I placed myself in his position, as I proceeded to Sanji-kun's kitchen.
A good drink would help me think better, I figured.
I opened the kitchen, and went to the fridge. The password to the lock is no secret to me; the only ones who know it are Sanji-kun, Robin, and myself. There should be some sort of beverages in here.
When I finally got some drinks for myself and for Robin, I decided that I'll rather not talk to Luffy tomorrow morning till who knows how long. I decided that I'm gonna make him so sorry for making me wait.
With that decision, and two drinks in hand, I made my way outside, to the crow's nest where Robin is. If there's one person in this crew that could comfort me right now, it's Robin. Even if she doesn't know a thing, I just need someone to listen to me.
After reaching the crow's nest, I was startled to find out that the door was open. The weather was cold, and closing it would make the temperature warmer. So why is it--?
But I never got to finish my thought. Because nothing in the world could've warned me about what my eyes are currently locked at.
As I dropped the tray of hot chocolate drinks I was holding, I couldn't help wishing I never left the room at all.
Just right now, I wish I never begged the time to speed itself up earlier.
Because seeing him locking lips with someone else is something I could never prepare myself for.

A/N: Poor Nami. Yea, that's all I could say. A little twist in the whole LuNa jealousy/hurt theme.
This might have another sequel. Sheesh.
