Nami groaned. Did she fall asleep again? She opened her eyes and realized she and Luffy had both fallen asleep in front of the fire. She was shivering uncontrollably now, and with Luffy pressed against her, she could tell he wasn't in any better condition. She wondered briefly how long they had been asleep because now she could see the fire roaring to life in front of her. Nami's teeth chattered as she looked down at Luffy again. She moved and he only flopped over to the floor. Worry made her eyebrows furrow in concentration before she really looked at him.

She bent in closer, picked up one of his hands and noticed they were slightly purple. Her gaze traveled downward and noticed his toes were in much the same condition. She let her gaze travel back up to his face and saw that his lips had turned purple, no longer their normal shade of pink. He was shivering, she noticed and pulled him up. He was like a dead weight to her. He didn't even so much as stir when she accidentally let him slip from her grip. She jerked him back up before he could hit head on the cold cave floor and got to her feet, still holding him as best she could. Her movements were jerky, shaky, and she just couldn't stop her knees from knocking together. She dragged him closer to the fire before she stood and walked over to their clothes. She looked them over to see if they were dry, but, as luck would have it, they were not. She decided to spread them out closer to the fire, perhaps it would warm them up enough to be wearable again.

She looked at Luffy; he was still shivering. Nami bit her lip - there were no blankets to cover themselves up. "God, just kill me now," she muttered as she slowly bent over Luffy's form. She was freezing her ass off, that much she was sure about. She slid one leg between his and gently laid her body over his. Her hands came up on either side of his chest. She could feel them both shaking. His chest felt like ice against her face - or maybe that was her skin? She didn't know, she couldn't tell. She started to rub her hands up and down his sides, trying to create at least a little heat. God forbid what he would do if he saw her like this. He would probably do his cute little blush and ask what she was doing and - back up a sec. Cute? Since when had she ever thought of her captain as cute? Were pirates even supposed to be cute? Better yet, were pirate captains supposed to be cute? She knew, that when she, Zoro, and Luffy came across Buggy the Clown, he wasn't in any way attractive. Arlong, her captor for eight years, hadn't even been remotely desirable. And every other captain out there had just been downright ugly. Her captain couldn't possibly fit in with any of those others. Then again...Luffy was no ordinary pirate captain.

She could feel her eyelids drooping again. Why was she so tired? She just woke up, for pirate's sake! Maybe it had something to do with the cold. Before she knew it, her breathing patterns came to a calm and her eyes were shut softly. Her breaths came out even and she was snuggling into the chest of her captain.

He opened his eyes to the ceiling of the cave. That's weird, he could have sworn he had been facing the fire just a few minutes ago. When did he shut his eyes anyway? He felt a weight on his chest and rose his arms to touch it, only to freeze when it groaned and moved. With wide eyes, he immediately faced his navigator, who was currently burying her face into his chest. He felt warm for some inexplainable reason. Maybe it was Nami who had kept them both warm. Then...he frowned. No, his navigator was shivering slightly. She had to be cold. She was blocking the wind from getting to him so all he could feel was the warmth between their bodies and the warmth of the fire beside them.

He raised his arms again to gently place them on her back. Her skin was so smooth...so soft. Without realizing it, he was allowing his hands dance up and down her skin, not realizing that he was creating goosebumps to rise on her. He stilled when she muttered something incoherently and turned her face to the other side. She brought her hands closer to either side of his body, sighing as she did so. She looked so calm when she slept, he realized. He wrapped his arms around her, twisting them several times around her torso and down to her waist, being careful each time his slid his hands between his body and hers. After all, he didn't want to wake her up if she was sleeping peacefully. Within a few minutes, he had created a rubber "blanket" to keep the wind off of his sleeping companion. She stopped shivering for a few moments, but it started up again.

He sighed. He wondered when their clothes were going to be dry.

"Luffy!" She exclaimed, "Damn it, Luffy, let go!"

Luffy's eyes popped open when he felt a lot of movement above him. He gave a confused look down at his Navigator before his eyes widened and he immediately let his arms recede from her body. "I'm sorry, Nami! I didn't mean to!"

Nami sat on his waist, her arms crossed over her chest in obvious frustration. She glared at him before getting up and looking around. "The snow stopped falling," Nami commented, blushing when she realized the position she and Luffy had just been in. She stretched and picked up Luffy's vest - it was dry now. In fact, it was really warm from being next to the fire for so long. She picked up the rest of his clothes and tested them all to make sure they were all at least a little dry. Then she suddenly thought about it - didn't Luffy make a fire for them? How the hell did he venture out there if his clothes had been so damp it was impossible to wear it all in cold weather? She supposed it was possible to endure it for a little while before having to take it off from the freezing temperature. She shook her head. It didn't matter anyway. She would just ignore it and go with her theory.

She folded his clothes and placed it beside him, letting him get dressed while she picked up her own clothes. She smiled when they were all dry. Her jacket seemed like the only thing that still needed to be dried a little longer.

Luffy smiled at having his clothes back on his body and nice and warm. He was going to thank Nami, but when he saw her with her turtle neck, long sleeved shirt on and bending over to place her pants on, he saw her panties riding up into her butt, creating a not-so-appropriate view for him. With wide eyes, he continued to stare at her. Sanji was right...his navigator had such long and shapely legs...and her butt, god, her butt looked so plump and round and...his eyes widened further when he realized the pull of his thoughts and where they were leading him to.

Nami had just buttoned her pants around her waist and turned to Luffy. Her eyes narrowed, "Pervert." She said. There was a distinct red trail from his nose to his lips. It was as clear as day about where her captain's head was currently at. Then a smirk grew across her face when she realized that Luffy hadn't heard her call him a pervert. She swayed her hips back and forth, slowly making her way towards him. All the while, Luffy's gaze was stuck on her curvaceous body. "Do you see something you like, Captain?" She said 'captain' with a slow and teasing tone, tender almost, as she got down on all fours when she reached his toes. He leaned back on his hands when she crawled between his legs, a smile plastered to her lips. When she reached his waist, her smirk became evil and he was whacked upside the head. "That's for thinking dirty," she said smugly as she stood and rubbed her hands together, as if she had just taken out the trash and were dusting herself off. She went back to her clothes and put on her socks and shoes. They were so warm and toasty.

Luffy sat back up after his head and connected with the ground from the force of Nami's punch in the head. He wiped his nose and grimaced.

Where the hell had those thoughts come from?
Why the hell was he even thinking about Nami like that?
And why the hell did he have this feeling below his belt?

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he decided to it was going to be best if he just kept his mouth shut and put on his socks and shoes. Maybe by then, he would have a clear mind and stop thinking such gross things about his friend.

I wanted to update yesterday, but my mom took my laptop away from me because she wanted me to clean my room. . That sucked. It took me like three hours just to get the damn room cleaned. (It was insanely dirty, hell, I don't even understand why my brother's sock was on the ceiling fan!) Nevertheless, I got it cleaned yesterday, and I even cleaned my sugar gliders cage! Sigh, I was so exhausted that I just laid back and slept throughout the entire night! Unfortunately, Mama lied and didn't give me back my laptop till just an hour ago. . She's so mean...

So yeah, just wanted to apologize for not updating yesterday. I'm going to try and get some more chapters posted within the next few hours and a couple more tomorrow if I have time. I am actually free on Monday, so you can guarantee I'll be updating then, too. But, I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, because I've also got a few other stories to update as well. You guys are lucky, these ideas have been stuck in my head for forever now and I wanted to get it out there and in the open. So instead of working on the other stories that REALLY NEED TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE I GET SUED FOR NOT UPDATING, I decided to work on this (side) story to entertain both myself and other readers. Like I said, consider yourself lucky. Lol!

What else...I seem to be saying that a lot lately. I think I'm hungry. I'm going to make a grilled cheese sandwich and then get straight back to working on the next chapter. Either that, or work on another story and update later. Just keep your eyes open, you never know when I'll update!

Oh, and review please!
