What do you do!?
Internally panicking as you stared down at the little thing wrapped around your leg
Her huge blue eyes staring up at you in awe, like she could see into your soul and everything inbetween. Gulping before you looked to Nami for help, your eyes uncertain and obviously terrified.
The Navigator laughed softly at your expression, finding it endearing in the most amused way possible.
"Don't tell me the all great and powerful y/n is afraid of kids??", she feigns a shocked face before she let's out a snicker, Luffy who was still holding onto you from behind to stop you from falling , laughed along to her teasing.
Your expression turning to a scowl before you felt the squeeze of her little hands on my pants, your face quickly turning back to horror as you looked to the both of them for help again, your pride shattered in moments as you gripped onto luffys forearm and shut your eyes.
"Solly, I'm gonna eat you!", Luffy roars with a grin, the child immediately squealing with erupting giggles at the little threat before letting go and making a run for it behind Nami.
You sigh heavily in relief at the distance created, causing a chuckle from close behind you. Heat beginning to radiate from your cheeks in embarassment.
"I'm guessing you weren't around kids much growing up?", her tone was breathy and amused, giggling inbetween the educated assumption.
Your body stiffens slightly but you let out a soft chuckle before you could even think, trying to trick your body and mind into relaxing.
"Nope", you stare back at her with a light and amused expression, but the question alone left a bitter taste on your tongue and a pit in your stomach.
"y/n... What have you done."
Suddenly slammed with a shipwreck of emotion mixed in with nausea, the feeling similar to how sea prism stone felt against the skin of a devil fruit user, weak and vulnerable.
Shit not again, just breath. Please.
Your head dropped to the floor to make sure you were still grounded in every way but internally. Your breathes getting heavier as you cursed yourself. The view suddenly slanted and unfocused.
Why now...fuck.
You were desperate to keep it together but your thoughts were slipping and so was your exterior, your heart sinking as you felt the dizziness suck the stability in your feet away from under you.
"Y/n", the whisper making your shaky inhales stop completely, it was a whisper but you heard it like it was a shout. The voice was stern but gentle. The hand on your waist tightening to ensure you felt his presence, to ensure his grasp was felt even in the depths of the pit in your stomach.
You sigh, the feeling of the planks you stood on became apparent once again.
The mere fact of his existence making you feel grounded once again, your head lifting to meet Nami's concerned eyes.
"Almost dozed off there", you chuckled, playing off the brief silence as an antic of your sleepiness. Nami examined your eyes for a moment like she was trying to find truth in your words before she let out an amused sigh and nodded like she finally understood.
Looking away and lifting the child into her arms before she smiled lovingly at you, "then stop letting that moron distract you from resting.", her eyes turn colder as they drift to the straw hat still holding into you.
Luffy let's out a quiet huff, his breath still on your ear and causing a flutter. The thought of his childish frown bringing a small smile to your lips.
