❤Luffy×Nami,A Love Story❤

Robin

Nami took on the job of telling the crew about her and Luffy's relationship. Usopp was supportive; Sanji was heartbroken; Franky yelled, "SUPER!"; Chopper was shocked; Zolo couldn't have been less interested; Robin just smiled; and Brook asked when the wedding would be.

Luffy stood sheepishly at her side, not meeting the stares of his crew. After telling them, Luffy and Nami went to the fish tank and sat side by side, not speaking for a while.

"Well, at least we don't have to hide it anymore, right Luffy?" Nami said finally. She was trying to keep the thing she'd been thinking about for a while off her mind.

"Yeah," Luffy said, and smiled. He leaned forward and kissed her gently.

Nami returned the kiss, deepening it. Luffy wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer. He slid his fingers through her hair, feeling how soft and sleek it was. Nami pulled away. Sure, Luffy hadn't shown much interest in girls before, but still . . . "Luffy, have . . . have you ever had a, um, girlfriend before?"

"No . . . why?" Luffy looked surprised at her question.

"Just curious." She kissed him again, then pulled away. She got up. "Come on."

And they walked, holding hands, out of the fish tank room.

Robin sat by the window, staring at Luffy and Nami on the beach, envious of the closeness they had. She remembered how that felt, back when she was only 16. (Author's Note: Oda Sensei said Robin is in her early 30s.) She'd fallen in love with a young man. But he'd been an aristocrat, and she'd been a thief, a criminal. His parents had discovered them in their house one day, and cast her out, recognizing her face from a wanted poster. In a fit of rage, she'd killed the young man's parents.

She remembered him yelling for her to come back as she ran into the forest, tears streaming down her face, realizing what she'd done. At that moment, she'd felt like she truly was a monster, just like everyone had said.

She watched Luffy and Nami kiss, and felt an aching deep inside her chest, longing for what they shared. Then, for some reason, her mind brought up an image of Zolo. She felt her cheeks go red, even though nobody was around. But . . . it wasn't completely stupid to want Zolo, was it? He seemed always alone and sullen so he probably wanted some attention too.

Robin pushed the thought away. He was almost 10 years younger than her, it would be weird. Still, Robin wanted to feel what she'd felt before, what Luffy and Nami had now
