*Luffy's thoughts
*(Y/n)'s thoughts

Waves softly swayed the Sunny. Like a cradle, it lulled the Straw Hats to a good sleep.

Except for one.

Luffy sat bolt-upright in his bed, his white shirt with an iconic meat print drenched in cold sweat as he breathed deeply, calming himself.

Another nightmare.

He looked around to see if he woke anyone up, and relieved that his nakama are still snoring away without a care in the world. He got down from his hammock and put on his slippers. Carefully sneaking out of the room, he left the quarters and stood by the railings, scanning the deck.

He was all alone. The stars shone brightly above the dark sky, and the sea waves crashing on Sunny made the only noise he's hearing right now.

He needed someone to talk to. Someone to keep him company.

And the only one he could think of was asleep in the other room.

He walked towards the room and peeked into the small glass window to look for her. Spotting her, he made his way to the door, and softly placed his hand into the doorknob, trying to be as quiet as he possibly could. Nami might kill him if not.

Slowly, he turned the knob, and luckily, the door wasn't locked. So he went inside, tiptoed to the girls' bed. Nami was at the far side, sleeping soundly, while Robin beside her. And the girl he needed right now just happened to be accessible, sleeping beside Robin. Usually, she would be in the middle of the older girls.

"(Y/n)..." Luffy gently whispered while shaking her. "(Y/n), wake up."

The girl stirred, opening her eyes and stared at the man with half-lidded eyes, that then shot up open.

"LU-" she put a hand on her mouth, remembering to be quiet. "What are you doing here?!" she whispered.

"Let's go outside," he said. (Y/n) immediately nodded and got out of the bed, dragging Luffy out of the room with her. The longer they'd stay, the larger chances they'll have on waking up a sleeping orange thundercloud.

She brought him down the deck and crossed her arms over her chest, scowling at him. "You do know that was a risky thing to do. If Nami saw you in the room, she won't excuse you."

"Shishishish, well she can go ahead and beat me up," Luffy laughed. "It won't hurt anyway."

Because I'm already hurting.

"I admire your bravery," she sighed, placing her hands on her hips. "Now, why did you wake me up?"

Luffy didn't answer her yet as he jumped up onto the railing, stood up, facing the sea.

"I wanted company."

"Well that's rare," she was actually surprised.

"Is it? I don't really like being alone," Luffy glanced at her, sitting down. She walked over to him and rested her hands on the railing.

"But you're alone all the time," (Y/n) said. "You always sit on the figurehead, and seldom play with Usopp and Chopper, not like two years ago."

That was two years ago. It's different now.

"Oh...well, I guess, we grow out of it after all," Luffy placed his hat on his head, staring ahead at the sparkling sea.

There was a long moment of silence after that. (Y/n) knew something was definitely up; her constant stal- err, observation on Luffy was enough to prove it. He wasn't the type of person to open up his feelings.
