Reunion in Alabasta

(Heyy creeps and freaks. Crazy right? 4 chapters in one night? Trust me I really don't wanna do this either but I couldn't resist a good Nami x Vivi story. Requested by @GraceIdfk!! 🧡🩵, ENJOOYYY!!)

The sun blazed high in the sky over Alabasta, casting golden light across the desert sands as the Thousand Sunny made its slow approach to the kingdom's port. Nami stood at the bow, the wind pulling at her orange hair, making it dance behind her. The excitement bubbling inside her was almost overwhelming. It had been years since she'd last seen Vivi, and the thought of reuniting with her made Nami's heart race. She had always admired the princess, not just for her loyalty and bravery but for the kindness and strength that radiated from her at every turn. She wondered how much had changed in those years. Would Vivi still be the same?

Her gaze focused on the distant silhouette of the royal palace, its towers gleaming in the midday light. The memories of their journey to save Alabasta came flooding back-the battles, the laughter, the shared moments of trust that had created an unspoken bond between her and Vivi. Despite the chaos that had followed, those memories always brought a warmth to Nami's heart. Vivi was special to her, even if neither of them had ever explicitly said it.

When the ship finally docked, Nami felt her pulse quicken. She barely registered Luffy's loud laughter or Zoro's usual calm demeanor. All she could focus on was the figure waiting for them on the dock. Even from a distance, she recognized Vivi's distinct blue hair, tied neatly behind her as it always was, her posture elegant but relaxed. There was a grace to her that even the dusty winds of the port couldn't diminish.

As the crew disembarked, Vivi's eyes locked onto Nami, and a smile spread across her face. It was the kind of smile that reached all the way to her eyes, making them shine with warmth. Nami felt a strange flutter in her chest as Vivi waved, the excitement on her face clear as she stepped forward to greet them.

"Nami!" Vivi's voice rang out, filled with joy and anticipation.

Nami hesitated for only a moment before running forward, her heart pounding in her chest. As she reached Vivi, the two women embraced, and for a brief moment, the rest of the world seemed to fade away. Nami could feel the warmth of Vivi's skin through the thin fabric of her dress, could smell the faint scent of jasmine in her hair. It was a grounding moment, a reminder of everything they had been through together.

"It's been too long," Vivi whispered, her voice filled with emotion as they pulled apart slightly, but their hands remained clasped together.

"It really has," Nami replied softly, smiling. "I've missed you, Vivi."

The rest of the crew approached then, filling the air with greetings and laughter. Luffy wrapped Vivi in one of his trademark bone-crushing hugs, and the others each exchanged their own heartfelt words. But through it all, Nami found herself sneaking glances at Vivi, her heart racing with an excitement she couldn't quite explain.

Once the greetings were done, Vivi led them back to the palace, the sand crunching beneath their feet as they walked through the bustling streets of the capital. The people of Alabasta waved to Vivi as she passed, their admiration for their beloved princess clear. Nami watched how gracefully Vivi handled it all, how effortlessly she moved through her duties as a royal while still managing to be so grounded and genuine.

As they arrived at the palace, Vivi made a surprising announcement. "I've arranged for you all to stay for as long as you'd like," she said, her gaze settling on Nami for just a moment longer than the others. "The palace has plenty of rooms, and you're more than welcome to stay for at least a month."

Nami's heart skipped a beat at the thought of spending that much time in Alabasta, and more importantly, with Vivi. The others seemed eager to accept the offer, with Luffy already fantasizing about the feasts that awaited them, but Nami's thoughts were elsewhere. A whole month. She hadn't expected to stay that long, but now the idea seemed irresistible.
