This is pret-ty straightforward. Merry Christmas!

LITTLE BITS AND PIECES OF HEAVEN

31 : Naughty or Nice?


"You in there?"

Nami bent down slightly, drawing the festively designed blanket that covered the entrance of the pillow fort to the side to peer in.

She only got a low grunt for answer. But that is enough to confirm where their swordsman is after he vanished from their party earlier.

The navigator straightened up as she studied the makeshift fort in front of her. No use asking Zoro what he is doing inside it because if you really know the man at all… it's damn pretty obvious.

Considering how all the Sunny's library lights are off and the place was only illuminated by the Christmas tree lights… she's sure the green-haired man had just found his new—but temporary—sleeping spot.

It was probably Usopp's idea to build the fort. A good decision too really. Luffy and Chopper were so excited for their Christmas party later that night that they went hyperactive and got in everyone's way and preparations (particularly Sanji who has been slaving in the kitchen all day) instead of actually helping out.

And Nami clearly remembered she delegated the task of baby-sitting them to Zoro, who 'accepted' it with grunt and a scowl.

How Usopp ended up baby-sitting them (Zoro included) instead of helping Franky set up the tree in the library, she can only speculate. But from what she heard from Jinbei… Robin took over the Usopp's task in assisting the shipwright.

That made Nami raised an eyebrow. Oh, she had her suspicions that something is going on between their older crewmates.

The sniper probably intended to join the two younger Mugiwaras in their antics, and ended up looking out and distracting the two, taking over Zoro's supposedly responsibility.

Which is good, because honestly… the katana wielder is absolutely useless when it comes to Luffy and Chopper and their pleading eyes.

Her eyes scrutinized the fluffy fort. She had no idea where they got all those pillows nor can she recall they had that many on board. There were also blankets from the ship's storage closet that were tied to the library's windows along with those that looked like the ones she and Robin bought from the town's market yesterday.

They were so festive looking—with bright colors of red, green and white and scattered designs of snowflakes, reindeers, decorated pine trees and silhouettes of a fat man in a red ensemble. She and the archaeologist can't help but think that they are perfect for tonight.

That is… if they didn't end up part of the pillow fort her childish friends decided to build.

She sighed. She'll just charge them the total cost of those new blankets.

But she had to admit. Usopp did a good job putting it up. Luffy and Chopper absolutely loved it. It actually held their interest long enough for them all to enjoy a few Luffy & Chopper free hours and finish their preparations for tonight.

And apparently… Zoro likes it too. Why else would he sneak out of the party to doze off inside it when he can literally just fall asleep right there at the galley even with their noises.

Nami bent down her knees.

"Make some space Zoro!" That was her only warning to him as she started to crawl inside it.

She heard Zoro huffed in irritation at her demand. "There's no room for another in here." He answered back in a snide tone.

"You're the only one inside!" She retorted as she continued to make her way in. What the hell was he saying? Luffy, Usopp and Chopper were all in there along with him earlier. That means it is spacious enough.

She realized what he meant when she saw him. Of course another person can't fit in because the idiot swordsman was lying, spread eagled on the whole floor space as if he exclusively owns the place!

It wasn't really that cramp. But since Zoro is a large man, he dominated the whole area of the fort easily (and selfishly, she might add).

She felt her ears heating at that.

So Nami decided to just crawl all over him... making sure to dig her elbows and knees as hard as she could on any available part of him.

She grinned wickedly when she heard an annoyed grunt from underneath her.

"Nami!" Zoro growled as he tried to move from his position. But it was too late. She already had him pinned beneath her. One of her knees dug into his leg as she wriggled her body above him trying to find a more comfortable position while draped all over him.
"Oi careful!" Zoro warned and he immediately caught her other knee before it hit a rather sensitive spot.

Her grin immediately turned into a more dangerous smile.

"Ooops…" Nami sing-songed as her face hovered over his. "My bad," she said in a cheeky and obviously unapologetic tone.

Zoro looked at her irritably. "Damn it woman! Do you really have to do this?"

"Yes because as usual, you're being an ass." She emphasized her answer by shifting above him in a totally careless manner… deliberately.

Zoro grumbled expletives under his breath. His body maybe tough and hard from all the training he was doing, but when Nami in intentionally moving like she was lying on a bumpy mattress and was trying to beat the lumps in using her elbows and knees… it's a different story.

"Stop it!" He ordered before caging her to him using one arm.

"Hey!" Nami complained. "No need to be so rough!"

Zoro bit back a defiant and rather salacious retort on how she sometimes likes it when he's rough on her. Instead, he wrapped his other arm around her as well, before tackling her to the side as Nami squealed in surprise.

"Zoro!"

The green-haired man chuckled at her reaction. Yet he didn't release her even as she tried to wiggle her body to free herself from him.

"Serves you right."

Surprisingly, she easily gave up and childishly blew him a raspberry.

Zoro just smirked as he looked down her face. It was a bit dark inside the pillow fort, but he can still make out her puffed cheeks and pouting lips thanks to the brilliant Christmas tree lights Franky had set up earlier.

He bent down and swiftly stole a kiss from them.

And Nami immediately relaxed in his arms at that. He in turn loosened his hold around her. But he still kept her within his embrace, as she tilted her head to look at him.

And damn he did not like the way she's looking at him right now.

"So… where are my presents?"

Zoro inwardly groaned. He should have known that was the reason why she was looking for him.

And did she say presents?

Nami was looking at him expectantly then her brows furrowed.

"Don't tell me you don't have anything for me?" She gasped exaggeratedly.

Well… it wasn't like she was expecting something from him. But still… it's Christmas right?

Zoro gave her a curious look. "Depends… have you been naughty or nice?"

She blinked at his question. "What does that have to do with your gifts for me?"

"You heard Chopper's story about that fat guy who slides down chimneys to give out gifts?"

"Yeah," Nami nodded. "He told us about it in the party earlier!"

"Well he has a naughty and nice list."

"…"

Zoro looked her in the eye. "Only the nice ones can receive gifts," he said in an almost somber tone as if he was talking to a petulant child. "You've been anything but nice Nami."

She almost shot up and out of his arms at that.

And Zoro laughed at her reaction.

"You!" Nami kicked his leg in retaliation. "I can't believe you Zoro! I've been nothing but nice to you this week!"

"That's because you are trying to wheedle a gift from me."

"Because it's Christmas!"

"So?"

Nami scowled at him. "Look who's being naughty now? I hope the fat guy doesn't leave you with any presents!"

Zoro grinned. "Honestly, do you think I'm Luffy? Or Chopper?"

"You don't get a gift from me as well. "

"I really don't mind not getting one."

Nami stuck her tongue out at him. "That's it! If you don't have anything for me, screw being nice!"

That only made him laugh louder. He didn't doubt that for a second. Nami's notorious for being 'super kind' when she wants to get something… especially from him.

Like that would work. He knows her too much. Almost like the back of his hands.

He smirked at her again, pulling her towards him, leaving no space between them as their bodies pressed close to each other.

"You are in no way a nice girl," Zoro drawled as he watched her lips pursed. "But I actually prefer you naughty…" He whispered lowly at her ear before giving her butt a hearty slap, squeezing it a little,, before his laughter rumbled inside the fort again.

"YOU!" Nami stiffened against him, yet he felt her hands grasp the front of his jacket. A sure sign that she liked what he did. "Argh damn it!"

He cut off her incoming rant by pressing his lips against her. Soft, feather light kisses before shifting to light teasing nips that made her sigh contentedly.

"You're not nice too you know." Nami mumbled in between their kisses.

"I know."

"Pirate hunters really not are."

"Are cat burglars nice?"

"Hmmm…"

Zoro chuckled as she feigned mulling over her answer.

Nami snickered. "Then we are both not getting any presents from Chopper's fat chimney guy."

"True."

They laugh a bit at their inside joke.

"Hey, Merry Christmas." Nami greeted with a pretty smile on her face.

"Merry Christmas Nami." Zoro returned her smile. "And yeah, I actually have something for you. Even if you haven't been nice at all."

"Really now?" She giggled excitedly. She ran her fingers through his hair. "How about we call truce for Christmas ? "

"Truce." He agreed as he tilted her chin with his finger to kiss her again.

"Hmm… how sturdy is this fort?" Nami suddenly asked, stopping him momentarily.

Zoro raised an eyebrow at her. "No idea."

"Think we can be a bit naughty here?" Nami whispered suggestively as she hooked a leg on his waist.

The corner of his lips twitched up at her suggestion. "Let's find out then."


The End –
