I need you more (luffy x nami)

Love and life discussions

Nami and Luffy won't be interacting in this part but instead in the next parts.

Nami's POV

We finally defeated the cruel animal kingdom pirates. Everyone is tired and beaten up, and chopper was being overworked with heavily-injured patients, everybody was already resting in their rooms expect robin and chopper who is out there treating patients in Wano's hospital, but I left her to go rest for a bit. I want to rest my body and clear my thoughts.. I slowly stumble to my bed in the women's quarters , we have agreed to host a huge feast after everybody gets better. I steadily sit on the edge of the bed and I close my eyes for a second. 

Something, No.. someone has been on my mind lately.

For some reason, I have felt a sway of emotions recently . I have been thinking about Luffy.. Whenever I think about him, I feel my chest tighten.. and my heart starts beating faster.

There's been this gnawing feeling inside me ever since I saw Luffy again, after those two years apart. He came back different—more mature, more confident. His owlish grey eyes seem to hold something deeper now, something addictive. I catch myself staring far too often, tracing the shape of his body with my eyes, and somehow, he never notices. It's almost frustrating how oblivious he is to it all.

There's this pull I can't shake—the urge to get closer, to brush my body against his, to feel the warmth of him next to me. It's not enough anymore to just be his navigator. I want more. I want him to know what I'm feeling, to see that I don't just view him as my captain, but as something more. This connection between us—it's intense, and I don't know how much longer I can keep pretending I don't crave more than just friendship.

These thoughts have not left my mind ever since and I don't take pride in that, I try to convince myself that its all in my head that there's no way I am in love with this goofball of a captain. I am deep in thought and I suddenly let a sigh under my breath, I lay my legs on my bed. I am trying to clear my mind only to be interrupted by the black-haired archeologist beauty. 

''Would you mind if I lay besides you, Nami?'' she said with a soft smile on her gorgeous face ,  I smile back and I nod in agreement. As she swiftly sits on the bed where her face faces mine. ''so what has been bothering you?'' robin questioned me looking at me in a way that made me feel comforted and heartened , I feel safe speaking my mind to her, telling her about how I feel about Luffy.

''I... I don't know, I am not sure.. my mind is in a daze'' I said in a low voice, I wasn't sure about what to say to robin even though I fully trusted her and knew she wouldn't judge me no matter what. She leans in closer to me, her face next to my ears almost tickling it. ''is a certain captain making your mind in daze?'' Robin whispered as she grins, she pulls back as I go in a state of shock and embarrassment, How does she know about Luffy?! I couldn't help but stay silent as I didn't know on how to reply.

She lets out a small chuckle, '' It seems like someone has got a crush!'' she exclaimed, The moment she said that I felt my face heat up, and my heart pump so fast that I could swear that my heart was about to explode. ''I don't know robin.... I feel strange around Luffy." I muttered . '' that's because you love him Nami.'' Robin replied, I quickly replied but collectedly  ''Yes, robin I think I love him, is it that obvious? '' 

Robin reassured me that nothing was  THAT obvious but she just had her own ways. '' you should confess to him, Nami'' Robin advised, ''But its Luffy that we are talking about! He is way too dense to acknowledge my feelings and its just hard to imagine that he has romantical feelings for anybody.'' Robin then calmly put her warm hand over mine and told me ''You never know unless you try Nami plus he has been eyeing you for quite some time too..'' she pauses for a bit and then removes her hand off mine slowly and places her head on the pillow & says that she's going to be resting now. The moment Robin said that I felt blush on my face, I felt that the air was heavy and it was getting difficult to breath and about the time I snapped back to reality Robin was already sound asleep, she is such a quick sleeper. I didn't want to wake her up to ask about what she just said. Even if opening up and talking with robin helped clear my mind, she also made me more desperate for Luffy's love. 

I said to myself that Robin is such an observant person, I am glad I got the chance to talk with her, but I wonder if what she said about Luffy was true. I am sure its just her teasing me. I definitely need some fresh air. After my conversation with robin, my body feels like it needs to move or more like it got more hyper for some reason. I quietly stood up and found my way out of the room. Everybody is sleeping, I make my way to the deck, the moon looks quite ravishing, but I then catch sight of the figurehead, his favorite seat. It always has reminded me of him. I deliberately go closer to the figurehead, I walk up its stairs and on it, I sit the old-fashioned criss cross way.

I chuckled to myself ''Luffy properly wouldn't want anyone sitting here but since he's sleeping in his room I might just sit here'' I was enjoying my time , the weather was amazing and the moon looked jarring, the waves of the blue ocean looked fascinating, and most importantly I have finally come to terms that I am in love with my airheaded captain. I have finally calmed down only to be startled by a loud noise from the ship's kitchen, I looked behind me still clearly bewildered to see that the weird noises was coming from the kitchen. I was too afraid to look.. who could it be? everybody is sleeping peacefully in their rooms so who is it?! is it an intruder!?
