Metamorphosis | Luffy x Nami

Chapter 8

Nami was no stranger to the stories regarding "the morning after". Some would say it was awkward, others couldn't even tell the story due to their one night stand walking out on them before sunrise.

For her, it was pure bliss.

Last night, they made love, and she had come to discover that it was Luffy's first time as well.

It was absolutely amazing.

He seemed to have gotten the hang of it after a while and although it was a little painful for her at first as well, before long, they were both subjected to mind-numbing pleasure.

Seeing his flushed face and glistening skin hovering over her was an image that she will forever engrave in her mind.

With closed lids, her lips stretched into a smile as she regained consciousness.

It was the added warmth she noticed first.

It was something she hadn't felt since she was a little girl when she'd wake up in Nojiko's arms after a bad nightmare. The warmth presented itself in the way his arms were wrapped snugly around her, keeping her close to his naked body.

Her chest fluttered when she remembered that she too was naked underneath her cotton bed sheets and the way their bodies molded together, made her heart thump.

She then noticed his breathing.

Her head was on his chest, tucked underneath his chin, and she could hear the steady rhythm of his heartbeat while his soft breathing made her head rise and fall.

Cracking her eyes open, she ever so carefully writhed her head from underneath his chin. No longer feeling overcome with sleep, she glanced over his features.

Her lips parted in fascination at the man before her.

The light that sept through her windows bounced off his eyelashes and she was intrigued at how long they were.

He's so cute.

Her eyes then fell upon his scar and she carefully raised her hand, using her index finger to trace the small lines of marred skin with furrowed brows.

Trailing down to his nose, she used the tip of her finger to gently glide over the arch of it.

He has a really cute nose too.

She let out a breathy chuckle.

It truly was ironic.

The one thing she insisted upon herself, not letting him become her distraction, was now all she could think about.

She brought her finger down to his mouth and began gently outlining his lips. Oh, how she loves those lips. She could kiss them all day.

Luffy slowly blinked his eyes open to find her touching his face, however she was too captivated by him to notice. Only when he cracked a growing smile was when she ceased her motions.

"Good morning, Nami." he murmured against her finger.

A red haze began to creep its way onto her cheeks and she retracted her hand, before they made eye contact.

"Good morning." she replied groggily, mirroring his smile.

The pair said nothing for a moment. They both merely gazed at one another with sparkling eyes and cheesy grins, filling the atmosphere with a bubbly warmth.
