He woke up again. Hearing the conversations of his crew just outside. It's morning, he groaned as he rubbed his eyes.

"Why did i agree to this.."

He mumbled with a pout rolling off his bed for the second time today. He stretches and puts on his hat, he wondered how he was spend time with her now that the crew knows. Would they be different? He can't see that being the case. His train of thought was lost to him once he smelled the warm seasoned eggs and bacon. He rushed out of his room to the kitchen finding Sanji nearly finished with breakfast. He laughed aloud and jumped on the man, hugging him tightly.

"BREAKFAST!"

He yelled happily getting a frustrating groan from Sanji who had to focus on cooking.

"Damn it Luffy! It's almost done! I promise I'll give you a lot just sit down!"

He demanded, the promise of food made Luffy gleefully run over to the table and sit, he banged on the table chanting.

"Breakfast! Breakfast!"

To Sanji's dismay, but he was glad to get this much attention for his food. Zoro groggily walked in, rubbing his head before sitting next to Luffy.

"Hey Cook! Get me some water would ya?"

Sanji seethed angrily.

"You can get it yourself, I'm almost done!"

"Eh? I wouldn't want to get in the way of your "art"."

"Then you'll just have to wait."

Sanji replied ending the dispute leaving Zoro to suffer with his morning headache.

"Morning Zoro."

Luffy grinned beside him, the brutish swordsman turned to Luffy and sighed.

"Morning…"

"Drink too much?"

"No… just had a rough night…"

"What happened?"

"It was a stupid nightmare."

"Oh?"

Zoro curiously looked over to Luffy who rested his head on the table and looked to Zoro for a response.

"What?"

"You wanna talk about it?"

"No. It wasn't that big a deal anyway."

"Cmon, if you tell me you won't have it again."

"That's stupid and childish."

"But it works~"

He sang with a grin. Zoro knowing he wasn't gonna get away scott free groaned painfully and rested his chin on his palm.

"It was just about an old friend…"

The swordsman mumbled, Luffy empathetically patted Zoros shoulder. Zoro felt himself blushing and turned away from him with a huff.

"Their dead now so whatever. It was years ago."

"If you cared about then you wouldn't say whatever."

Zoro turned back to see Luffy had sat up.

"They were your friend. It's ok to care."

Zoro scoffed and turned away again, hiding his smirk.

"Thanks Luffy."

Luffy snickered, just as Sanji came over with plates.

"I never heard that."

"Yea, it's just something I found out as a little kid."

"With your personality I bet you lived in a loving home."

Sanji smiled sitting across from the two.

"I was a orphan, I had to fend for myself."

Zoro grumbled.

"I was kinda the same way."

Sanji chuckled.

"I guess… growing up with mountain bandits wasn't exactly a loving home…"

Zoro and Sanji looked to him worriedly and confused.

"What do you mean? Your parents were mountain bandits?"

"No, I don't know my parents, my grampa kinda just dropped me off there."

Luffy said thoughtlessly as he begin to eat, slowing his usual consumption to talk with them.

"That doesn't sound good at all…"

"It was fun, besides I had a roof, and food, and gramps came to visit me sometimes."

"You said you got that hat from Shanks, is he related to you?"

"As far as I know? Nope, I wanna be a great pirate like him though."

"Shanks… that name sounds familiar."

Sanji hummed tapping his finger against the table.

"But yea, it was rough when I was alone, but it was fun too."

"Considering your this happy-go-lucky, I'm sure it was."

Sanji complimented before looking down at his plate to see he'd only gone through half.

"What's wrong? Does it taste bad?"

The blond cook questioned, getting Zoro attention to the half empty plate.

"No, I thought we were talking?"

"You usually eat it all regardless."

Zoro stated.

"Yea…?"

Luffy rose a brow curiously. Zoro looked back at him and grinned.

"She really changed you."

Luffy furrowed his brow and Sanji sighed pulling out a cigar and his lighter.

"I was wondering when this was coming up."

The chef groaned as he smoked.

"What? Is there a problem?"

"No."

"If anything I congratulate you. You surprised us ALL with that one."

Sanji smiles looking a bit solemn.

"What did you think I couldn't?"

"No."

"It's just not very like you. But I guess if anyone would've had a chance it was you."

"That's not true."

"Yes it is."

Zoro spoke up with a evil glare.

"The cook is to perverted to ever had a shot."

"Excuse you! She flashed us in the bath! That wasn't me!"

"Oh I bet you'd doanything! To see that again!"

"It's more than just her looks yknow!"

"Sure! Says the womanizing chef!"

"Don't start with me moss head! It's too early for this!"

"Please! Anytime! Anywhere!"

Luffy groaned at the mention of the bath flashing, something he wanted to forget but only made him feel gross and jealous. He didn't want to be a groggy mood.

"Can you guys stop please?! Your too loud!"

Usopp came in plugging his ears.

"It's only 9 in the morning…"

Zoro and Sanji glared before sitting back down. Usopp walked around and sat next to Sanji.

"Morning Usopp."

"Morning Luffy…"

The long nosed marksman yawned.

"I wonder where Nami and Robin are?"

Sanji asked curiously as he put his cigarette to his lips.

"Women have to spend at least an hour getting ready."

Zoro huffed mockingly.

"That's scientific fact…"

Usopp mumbles.

"Usopp, you know relationships right?"

Usopp looked up confused at Luffy.

"I… guess?"

"How did you two hang out?"

"Erm… I went over to her window and just told her stories. We just talked…"

"Oh…"

"Luffy you and Nami can just be yourselves."

"We don't care."

Zoro sighed rubbing his head.

"Oh…"

"Right… you and Nami are a thing now…"

"So when did this happen?"

Luffy tapped his head as he tried to recall.

"A month ago? 2? I don't know."

"Really?"

"Yea, we'd hang out around midnight. But since you guys know we aren't doing that anymore."

Zoro narrowed his eyes.

"So when I caught you that one night…"

"Yea."

"And that night at Alabasta…"

Luffy rubbed his head anxiously with a blush, recalling the hot sex he and Nami had after the fact.

"Yup."

"Well it's super funny you 2 tried to hide it from us."

Usopp snickered.

"She wanted to tell you when she was ready."

Sanji grunted painfully at that.

"I'm… sorry Nami…"

Sanji huffed dramatically clutching over his heart.

"Have you two kissed yet?"

Usopp teased making a kissy face. Luffy didn't know what to say, they kissed after a few months, then very soon after that started touching each other, and soon after that came sex, they all kinda happened in quick succession, he estimated with only a week between each new discovery. He didn't even know how much he could say, she never told him what to say. So he let out a long sigh.

"Yes."

The 3 men nodded giving him his due of compliments. He felt relieved.

"Then what happened that night?"

Luffy froze and turned to Zoro who had the most knowing look on his face.

"Our last night in, Alabasta, you met up with her right? I'm guessing you were on your way to her room?"

Sanji's brow twitched at that claim.

"Pfff! There's no way… Luffy wouldn't go to her room! Yea they're dating but like he said it had been only a few months. You two just started kissing right?"

"Yea…"

Luffy slowly answered, if he to be honest they kissed and got each other off the same week, then the end of the next week they had sex so it all really happened within 2 weeks. He suddenly felt astonished that they had only gone on 1 date, to think they've been together this long and that's it.

"You don't just go to a girls room."

"Yes you can, if they let you. But it's not like they… they couldn't. They just started."

"Like your one to talk, I bet you've "danced" with plenty of girls on your first meeting with them."

"I try to make a good impression, besides it depends if they come back."

"Guys stop arguing!"

Usopp snapped pulling them in a huddle, leaving Luffy out of it.

"He's fairly wholesome and childish. I'm surprised they've kissed."

"I'm not, the witch is much more mature and would show him all that stuff."

"Maybe you can consider he already knows?"

The 3 turned back to Luffy who stared blankly at the 3.

"Luffy…"

Sanji spoke calmly.

"Do you… know what sex is?"

Luffy stared deadpanned at them as he laughed hysterically in his head. He didn't know if they had, he thinks Sanji had mentioned his experience before but Usopp and Zoro he had no clue, so he couldn't help but burst out laughing internally.

"Yes"

He spoke clearly and calmly as he forced himself not to smile or burst out into hysteria.

"Then that means there's a chance they did it already!"

Zoro restated his claim.

"Just because he knows doesn't mean they've done it! I know and I haven't… done it…"

Usopp muttered nervously.

"There's nothing wrong with not having done it yet, it's only natural considering our age."

A lightbulb went off in Luffys head.

"Sanji! How old are you!"

Luffy demanded even pointing his finger at the chef.

"19."

The kitchen went dead silent for a moment before Luffy burst out laughing, clutching his stomach as he couldn't hold in the hilarity of the past few minutes. He laughed so hard he fell off his chair. Sanji blushed oddly embarrassed and confused.

"What?"

Luffy tried to calm himself, wheezing as he coughed. Climbing perilously up to sit back in his chair, sighing relived as it finally calmed down.

"What was that?"

"I… we thought… you were 23."

Luffy snorted covering his mouth as Zoro burst out laughing from that, Usopp too covered his mouth as he held himself back from laughing.

"What? What gave you that idea?!"

"Well you smoke, wear suits, and just act kinda old. Not even mentioning you like women."

"We ALL love women?! I'm 19! What are you like 16?"

"17."

"Hey I'm 17 too!"

Usopp cheered giving Luffy a high five.

"What's all this noise…"

They all turned to see Nami yawning as she walked in with a big furry jacket.

"Nami~"

Sanji cheered happily before returning to his angered state.

"Nami! Luffy thought I was 23!"

She blinked at him and snorted loudly covering her mouth.

"S-So did i."

Sanji grunted as if he shot, becoming depressed as he laid his head on the table with a whimper. Nami sighed and sat next to Luffy.

"So how old is he?"

She turned to Luffy.

"19."

"Seriously? A year older?"

"I know! He really doesn't act like it."

The two lovebirds chuckled before looking to Zoro. The swordsman felt their gaze and nervously sweated.

"Don't."

"Zoro."

Luffy asked. Zoro sighed and muttered to himself.

"How old are you?"

Zoro took a long deep breath before answering.

"19."

At that Luffy and Nami's jaws dropped. Usopp eager to know what they thought asked the question.

"How old did you think he was."

The long-nosed man asked trying to contain his growing laughter.

"26."

Luffy coughed out, scrunching his face to stop himself from laughing. Only adding to the the burst of hilarious laughter Nami and Usopp released. The 2 nearly started crying as they realized just how stupid the assumption was. Even Sanji snickered evilly, the mood and context getting a embarrassed blush from the swordsman.

"Shut up! Now your all acting like children!"

"What's this about children?"

The laughing died down as they all turned to see Robin walk in, wearing a confident smile, a purple blouse with a skirt.

"Robin~"

Sanji immediately sang going back to his usual self. Luffy looked up at her a bit worriedly, after last night, he wondered if she was feeling better. But his question was answered as soon as she sat next to Luffy.

"Morning~"

The brunette turned to Luffy with a indiscernible smirk. Luffy then felt the bottom of his shirt.

"Morning, feeing better?"

He asked kindly.

"I did in fact, although a certain navigator kept me up as she came back to our room."

Robin chuckled. Nami growled from behind Luffy gripping the fabric of his shirt from the shoulders.

"I was taking a shower…"

"I'm sure you did but… your restlessness sure did spin a different tale~"

"I had to dry off."

"From what? Between the time you went to shower and when you came back, 2 hours had passed. An hour bathing maybe~ but the second hour…"

The archeologist trailed off with a smugness that tugged a cord in Nami. She was about to argue back till Luffy spoke up.

"Did I say something wrong yesterday?"

His question instilled a silence in the kitchen. The men across from them watched as Luffy looked to Robin. Her smile slowly faded, but came back as she sighed.

"Not at all~ I was just tired from the day. I still have some bruises Y'see."

Robin replied hearing a small gasp the rest turned seeing Chopper in the doorway.

"Do they hurt? What color are they."

The small doctor immediately got to work asking Robin about the bruises she had mentioned.

"I'll tell you about them elsewhere, don't wanna get in the way of their breakfast."

She got up and lead Chopper out of the kitchen. Everyone but Luffy sighed relived, feeling the heavy tension finally lift. Nami pulled on Luffys cheek turning his face to her.

"Did you see that?! She was very antagonistic! That's not a good person at all!"

She claimed with a frown. Luffy had to admit she was pulling her strings, but it was almost purposeful.

"I'm sure there was a reason."

"Yea, like what happened last night."

Zoro the ever listening presence questioned with a risen brow.

"I just took a shower! And me and Luffy hung out! You guys already know we're a thing."

Nami snapped, Sanji hearing this went back to being depressed.

"Ok, what do you two have to talk about."

"Our day?!"

Luffy sighed as he heard Nami and Zoro bicker, but Robin still clung to his mind. She didn't seem to like it when he argued against her. Is she hiding something. As much as he's willing to let her join no questions asked, why is she acting like this. His thoughts were cut off as Nami stood from her seat and grabbing Luffy by the arm pulled him away. Sticking her tongue out at Zoro.

"What we do in our time alone is none of your business!"

"Your right! I just don't want you two fucking where I sleep!"

"Shut up!"

The two yelled at each other before Nami pulling Luffy along left the kitchen. Nami a bit irritated hooked her arm around Luffys and huffed.

"This is why I didn't want them knowing. Before I came in you didn't tell me we did that stuff did you?"

"No, I just told them we kissed."

"Thank god… so it must've been that Robin…"

He too felt it went a bit overboard back there, Zoro wasn't like then when they were talking, he supposed Zoro would've been pissed after assuming his age and Robins comment.

"Speaking of… you talked with her last night?"

"Before you came out of the shower."

"And you didn't tell me?!"

"It wasn't a big deal."

She growled and pulled his cheek getting a sigh from him.

"Your usually honest… you told me about Zoro and Vivi…"

He could hear something in her voice, turning to her he looked into her bronze eyes. As pouty as she looked he could see a hint of pain. He fully turned and took her hands gently.

"I'm just worried about her too."

He admitted.

"Then why'd you let her on board?"

"Cause I only found out last night."

"Luffy…"

"I think she's hurting…"

He groaned scratching his head, finding the whole situation with her to be so complicated. He looked back to Nami who anxiously gave him a small kiss to his cheek.

"As happy I am you want to help. I don't think she'll be very good for us. For all we know we're just a ride to her. If she could so easily leave Crocodile, then what's to say she'd do that with us?"

"She found something beneath Alabasta, some weird block with writing. She said she was a…. Ark something right? Doesn't that mean she's a digger?"

She sighed.

"She wouldn't come join just cause I saved her. She's looking for something, and as nuts as she sounds, I think she need our help."

She grimaced and bit her lip pensively.

"Fine, I'll go along with your claims… I just hope you know what your doing."

He smiles and leaned in pressing a chast kiss to her forehead.

"Maybe try to get along with her. She is the only other girl on the ship."

She scoffed and turned away.

"She isn't even my age…"

"That doesn't mean anything."

He recalled she mentioned how her age makes her different from them. And shook those doubts.

"Choppers the youngest, and we all get along fine. We just gotta show her what it's like to be a kid again."

He grinned. She blushed seeing his confidence, groaning as she hooked her arm around his.

"I'll… try."

"And I'll try to get her to open up in the mean time."

She looked at him suspiciously and pouted.

"Don't go being too chummy."

"I wouldn't think of it."

She leaned against him, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Good… if she ever starts getting real close…"

She rose her brows at him.

"I'll come to you. And we can cuddle and kiss and have se-"

She put her hand over his mouth, her cheeks flushed deep red.

"Yes… we can do all that. And maybe don't mention we had sex ever. I'd rather not go through that embarrassment."

"I won't."

"Good to hear. Now so we don't look weird let's head back and talk about what to do next."

He nods affirmatively and the two hand in hand walk back to the kitchen. His mind rampant with thoughts, how would he go about this? As he pondered he felt something slip into his pocket. He glanced down at his side and saw pink petals floating down. He reached into his pocket and found a small piece of paper. Before walking into the kitchen with Nami he opened it to find a time written on it. It said:

"Midnight."

I don't know if I'd call this 2 part story. I know I've been gone a while, just trying to expand my stories beyond mainly one piece. Cause while Luffy X Nami is my number 1 ship, I have others, others I'd like to add to make a story out of, wether it's romantic and emotional, or even just some smutty story. Anyway, here's the next chapter, turns out the new way I'm setting these stories is a lot harder than I thought, the day adds more characters which means I gotta run around including everyone who would be on the ship at this time. If this doesn't turn out well I might just go back to midnight meet ups. But I'm willing to try this, thanks for reading, I'll try to get the next chapter out in a few weeks.
