Thank you so much for reading and reviewing :D

This one is kinda a short sequel to a fanfiction still in progress. I hope I'll be able to post it soon :)

Enjoy!


Clouds

"Are there any clouds?"

"No."

"Ah, I thought so. It's a clear blue sky, right? The sun is shining on a wonderful bright and blue sky."

"Yeah," he sighed.

"Things change all the time Law, so stop sulking. Luffy's exhausting enough."

I fell silent, listening closely to his beating heart. It was a soothing sound I really appreciated. After all that happened lately I was content to just enjoy the sound of my boyfriend's beating and very alive heart. It made me feel at ease, as if everything was going to be okay and nothing bad could happen to me. As if the whole world was alright and there was no evil out there, trying to hurt us.

We lie together in the grass; I had my head on his chest and Law's arm rested on my shoulder. I was fairly sure he was covering his eyes with the other one.

Gently, I stroked his cheek and I sighed contentedly. It had been a few weeks since we had seen one another, so I was enjoying the comfortable silence of his company. I was enjoying it ever more so now that I knew had him back for some time.

"I've never thought much about my future." I said. I knew Law was listening even though he said nothing in response. He still felt guilty and I hated it. It was no one's fault – except my own maybe. If it was anyone's fault then it was definitely mine. "My dream was to draw a map of the world but I never thought about what to do after that. I mean I'll do everything I can to help Luffy become the King of Pirates. But then what?"

"Not if become the Pirate King first."

I laughed and reached up to play with his hair. I liked doing that. His hair was soft and a bit longer than before. I liked that a lot.

"My captain still has the best navigator in the world. That's why Luffy is at an advantage. I'll take him wherever he wants me to. I may not be able to see anymore but I'll just have to rely more on my other senses. I know I can do it, so don't get your hopes up, Tora-o."

"What if I want my girlfriend to take me wherever I want?"

I could practically feel his smirk and laughed quietly. "Then your girlfriend would probably do everything to make you happy."

"What if I want my girlfriend to find One Piece together with me?"

Slowly I lost my smile. He tried to be sweet and understanding, and I knew he would never force to me do something I did not want to, but asking me to choose between him and Luffy was like punch in the face. And he knew that.

"You know the answer to that." I said sadly. I loved Law, but in a way I loved Luffy too. Luffy was my captain after all. He was the one captain I'd follow until he told me that he didn't need me anymore. I owed him so much and even though I knew I could never make up to him, I still had to try.

Law drew small circles on my back and put his other arm on my waist.

"What if I wanted to spend more time with you, Nami-ya?"

"You're just being irrational, Law."

"No, Nami-ya. Imagine if I hadn't been there. You'd be dead now!"

I sighed and tried to stay calm. After everything that happened to me I had changed a lot. My temper would still rise at times but I had started to appreciate life more because I was no sure at all how much longer I'd be alive. After I caught myself a few times thinking that there was not even a tomorrow, I tried to change something.

Law was angry, I could tell that much but still, he held me close and didn't let go.

"I didn't think it would affect you so much. After all, we're pirates. Death awaits us anywhere. Maybe it's better we break up."

I don't know why I said that because I sick just thinking about a future without Law. That was a dark and sullen future I didn't want to face and whatever future I would have to face I wanted him to be by my side. But of course I felt his sadness and my brush with death made me realize something. I didn't want to put him through all this shit, not if I could help it.

"No!" he said firmly and pulled me closer to him as if making his point clear. "I'll check on you more often and make sure Strawhat-ya takes better care of you."

Hearing his heart beating quicker made my pulse race. I was scared of losing him, but my condition wasn't getting better and even though I tried my hardest, and I fought very hard, I knew I would someday lose.

I sighed heavily, pressing my face into his chest. "I wanted to spend some quality time with you, Law and not start thinking about this again!" I said accusingly, poking his chest with my finger. "I ain't scared anymore, Law. No matter the enemy and no matter the torture, I have faced worse. I want you to stop feeling guilty already and just be happy. Enjoy the peace with me while it lasts because my experience tells me that it never lasts long. Our time is limited, too. I don't want to waste it any more than we already have."

He sighed and raised his head. "What would you like to do then?"

"I'd like to stay just like this and watch the clouds."

"…there are no clouds, Nami-ya."

"Exactly!" I exclaimed happily, putting my arms on his chest I pushed myself up and pressed my lips against his. They were soft and warm, as always. I cherished the moment because I knew it may be the last.

When he pulled away I pushed him on the ground and rested my head on his shoulder. "You know, about that future stuff," I started but stopped, unsure if I really wanted to think about it. Law wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close again.

"It's pretty easy for me, Nami-ya."

"Is it now?" I asked, wondering how it could that be so easy?

"You're my woman."

The way he said that made my heart beat hard in my chest. It made my skin tingle all over and

butterflies churn inside my belly. The way he said it almost made me hope for a tomorrow.

Almost.
