Going to a game today, so I wanted to leave you guys some chapters to read, plus I'm already at chapter 15! Yay! Anyway R&R.
Nami rolled over restlessly, she was awake all night fretting over the oncoming day. She really didn't look forward to it. As she found her way into the restroom she turned to look at the tattoo on her shoulder. It hid a scar that she inflicted upon herself. She turned away in shame and showered quickly, hoping to wash away her memories of the past.
She stepped out while tying up her hair into loose twin braids. Vivi sat next to Luffy, the both of them laughing and talking excitedly. Just looking at them made Nami feel like an old woman. How could two people her age be so childish? Vivi noticed her friend and smiled, gesturing to the outfit she bought for Luffy, knowing that it was going to be slightly chilly out. Nami smiled as Luffy laughed happily.
She walked further into the room, smiling at the two while straightening her pastel green jacket. As she stepped into the bigger room, something caught her eye. Turning she spotted Law, looking basically the same, just with normal jeans. She glared lightly.
"You're coming too?" she questioned grumpily.
"It's not like I have anything better to do, plus I'm curious of your 'world'." he said calmly, pushing himself off the wall and striding to the small group. "Someone has to keep you out of trouble."
"And you automatically nominated yourself? I'm pretty sure we can handle ourselves thank you, we are all quite capable teenagers." Nami huffed and crossed her arms. Law gave her a disbelieving look before turning to look at Luffy who was stretching his mouth inside out, making faces as Vivi made funny faces as well. Nami face-palmed. "Alright, do what you want. The more the, bloody fucking, merrier!" Nami ushered everyone out the door before locking up, grumbling to herself.
They all shuffled down the stairs and past the landlords son, Reiji, as he mopped the hall. He smiled at the lot, "Hey Nami, where you guys heading? Aren't you supposed to be at school?" Nami smiled stopping to idly chat, making the rest of the crew stop behind her.
"Well, my distant cousin, here," pointing at Luffy, "is visiting, so the school gave me and Vivi the day off to take him sightseeing." she smiled warmly.
"Ah, that's kind of them. Oh, by the way mom said some mail came in for you. I can hold it till you get back if you want." Reiji informed her. Nami thought for a moment before shaking her head.
"No, I can take it now. All I ever receive are letters from home, might as well read them now. Is it in your apartment?" she asked, putting her hand on his shoulder to glance behind him. Forgetting that he recently mopped, she slipped slightly towards him. Reiji reached out and steadied her before smiling.
"Yeah it's in there, wait here and I'll get it for you." he started retreating to the door when he stopped, "Would you like a small snack for the road? Mom bought too much again." he asked, slightly sheepish. Nami smiled and nodded, not one to reject one's generosity. With the confirmation, he disappeared into the door. Nami smiled to herself, and Luffy cheered about food. Law seethed silently for whatever reason, A.K.A that boy being so close to their orange haired host. Vivi only chuckled in the background.
Reiji appeared not a minute later with a shopping bag in one hand and a letter in the other. He smiled as he handed both items off to Nami, who thanked him in turn. She was about to ask why he was here instead of at college when all of a sudden the ground beneath her feet vanished. Reiji seemed slightly surprised by the bold action of the other male in their group. Law walked down the hall calmly with a comically wiggling female slung over his shoulder. Waving his hand in farewell to the boy.
Luffy and Vivi laughed as the jogged to catch up to the funny pair, while simultaneously waving their own farewells to Reiji. Vivi ran ahead and unlocked her car and motioned Luffy to the passenger's seat so she could continue telling him about King Arthur's grand adventure, which Luffy ate right up like an excited kindergartener. Law dumped Nami in the back before pushing her to the opposite side so he could seat himself. Nami huffed and hit the doctor hard in the shoulder.
"I plan on torturing you the entire time there." Nami growled, Law only glanced at her.
"And how do you plan to do that?" he smiled calmly, unaffected by her threat, seeing as she couldn't back it up in the least. But soon saw she could as she grabbed something from the bag.
"With this!" she cried and lunged at him as Vivi pulled out and down the road, laughing at the view she got in her rear view mirror.
