On the morning, Nami's alarm rang into her bedroom. The two young adults woke up slowly. Nami took her phone and stopped it. Law sat up first, Nami saw him, he was back at her, it probably was the first she was seeing him without his hat. She then noticed he was shirtless and she watched his tattoos for a few seconds, until she realised he was looking at her.
«l- what?
n- what's the tattoo in your back? it feels like deja-vu?
l- oh, that's.. just a draw Bepo did
n- don't you have a shirt with this on it?
l- yeah.. we got a several clothes with this on it, it was fun to do
n- cute... did he answer by the way?
l- uh..».
He took his phone and checked.
«l- uh not yet, but he sleeps a lot, so maybe later
n- I hope so».
She smiled, and suddenly they heard the stairs noise. They looked at each other in panic, and suddenly the door got opened. Nami saw her mom.
«b- come on, you'll be late».
Nami was confused when she noticed she was freaking out or just shocked. She then looked back to her right and the mattress wasn't there anymore, either was Law.
«n- yeah, yeah, don't worry».
Bellemere left the room, and when Nami heard the stairs, she stood up and saw a pen on the floor. She went to the window and saw the mattress and Law outside, she couldn't help but laugh and signed him it was ok. In a few seconds, he opened the door of her room, entered and closed it.
«n- wait what?
l- the pen's outside».
He said, giving her the shirt he had used the previous day, and he entered her bathroom. Nami found herself confused but supposed he had put the mattress back to his place so it was enough for her. She dressed, and made her bag. Law came out of the shower dressed, he put his hat on, and took his bag.
«l- see you at the bus stop
n- do you want something to eat?
l- no thank you, can I just let my stuff here for now?
n- sure.. have you find any solutions?
l- not yet».
He said before disappearing. Nami saw the pen falling on the floor, she took it and put in on her desk. She put Law's bag into her wardrobe and she went downstairs.
«b- you ok ? I heard you talking?
n- I called Usopp about the homeworks
b- oh, good».
Nami took her breakfast, and when her mom was in the living room she took a tangerine and poured some coffee into her bottle and put it in her bag.
«n- see you tonight
b- see you».
Nami walked out to the bus stop, Law was there. He looked at her walking, she threw him the tangerine and the bottle. He caught them.
«l- I said no
n- it was unpolite»
He put it in his bag as the bus was approaching.
«l- thanks *little polite smile*
n- don't smile this much, you could sprain your face's muscles
l- *amused smile* fuck you».
They entered the bus, and walked the the end.
«n- *chuckles* oh wow, wow, you can actually show emotions?!
l- *amused* stop it
n- I am truly honored, you don't realise!!
l- *sighs* here you are, over dramatic
n- that's just the right amount of drama
l- it's not
n- trust me, it is».
Law smiled and sat next to Ace, who was perplexed to see them both talking.
«ya- heyyy
n- hii».
Nami sat next to Luffy.
«ace- what are you doing here?
l- uh... long story
ace- did you sleep at her place?
l- yeah
lu- what ?
l- it was just easier when we return from Alabasta
ya- ohh, you should've told me, my dad could have bring you.. to Kidd's
l- it's fine, don't worry
lu- Oi! Nami, you'll never guess who came last night to talk about-».
Ace punched Luffy's face.
«lu- ouch !! why did you use Haki, it actually hurts!!
ace- shut the fuck up!!
n- what? who came to talk about what?
ace- nobody *smiles*
lu- not nobody, it was-».
Ace hit him again.
«ace- just shut the fuck, Luffy!!
lu- ouch !! ok, stop doing that!!
n- what the fuck?
ya- ignore them, they're in their own world sometimes
n-.. that's for sure».
Nami just ignored what had happened and Luffy did not speak much after that.
When they arrived, on the campus Nami turned to Law.
«n- you don't forget me, right?
l- no, 6pm at the art building
n- right, thanks».
Nami and Luffy left for their class. Ace and Yamato looked confused at Law.
«ace- what the fuck happened during this trip ?
l- why do you say that?
ace- because you slept at Nami's house while you were the one who didn't like her at the beginning
l- well, she's nice
ace- she's a witch, Zoro's right, she's a witch, she got a spell over boys
l- why do you say that?
ya- is there something between you?
l- you guys are crazy, just because we talked mean there's something
ace- good, nice».
They went to class too. When midday came, Nami and Luffy joined everyone in a hallway corner, because it was too cold outside. Nami sat next to Vivi who hugged her.
«vi- we didn't see you in so long!!
n- *amused* that much?
vi- yeah!! how was Alabasta? did you like it?
n- I'm sure I would have preferred if you were there, but your country is beautiful Princess
vi- yeah right?! thanks
n- how was uni?
ka- boring, just lessons
us- yeah not that much
sa- I just missed you my Nami-Swan!!
n- I missed you too, guys, and I have a lot to tell you girls
ka- what?
us- yeah what?
lu- *dying inside trying not to talk*
n- later
s- is that serious?
n- no, don't worry, it's just girls talk
vi- *chuckles* oh wow
us- Luffy, are you ok?».
Luffy was biting his lips so he wouldn't speak but little by little his body started to inflate. When he heard Usupp saying his name, he opened his mouth and let all the air out and so he's been propulsed away.
«sa- what was he doing again?
vi- just Luffy being Luffy
us- you ok?».
Usopp went to help him. And everyone started to eat, so when they came back they ate too and the subject has changed. At the end of the day, Nami, Vivi and Kaya were waiting in front of the Art Building that Apoo-San arrive.
«vi- so what's going on?!?
n- well.. maybe nothing but...
ka- what a smile.. spit it out
n- well... it's hard to tell but... I think I got like... I don't know, you know.. like.. a crush
vi- wouhhh on who?
n- this is so embarrassing...
ka- no, come on, we would never judge you
vi- is that Zoro?
n-... yeah
vi- oh my God, I knew it!! it was so obvious!!
n- was it?
ka- no, I didn't even see it
vi- she spends her time with him, it only was a matter of time
ka- did anything happen in Alabasta?
n- no... not really... like... yeah
vi- yeah?! what happened?!?
n- well... we slept together
ka- *shocked* what?!
n- no!! no, no, no, like actually sleeping, like sleeping not... sexing
ka- oh, ok, well both are ok
vi- you slept with him? wasn't it like a group thing?
n- yeah, but his dad got him and his sister a room, and I happened to sleep with him
vi- wow... and so... how was this?
n- it was... great, I mean...
ka- and here she's blushing!!
n- stop, it was amazing, like.. he's just so... so cute like... he would hold me and everything, it was so sweet
vi- really?! Zoro?
n- yeah, right?! and we talked a lot and even bought matching necklace
ka- girl, you were casually flirting
n- no.. I don't know
vi- basically yes, girl, you flirted with that handsome sexy force of a man, damn it
n- oh my God... imma faint
ka- aaahh!! this is so exciting, I can't wait to see where it goes
n- probably nowhere... like... I don't know... I don't think he's looking for something like... serious
vi- I didn't think this guy was able of flirting 10 minutes ago, so everything's possible
ka- how does it smell like?
n- good, so good... like... something between iron and sweat
vi- *confused* it doesn't seem good
n- I swear it is. it's just so... masculine and.. ugh.. sexy
vi- *chuckles* we lost her
ka- I absolutely need update of this
vi- yeah, obviously we do
n- of course, you'll be the first to know, but... don't hope too much
vi- don't be so defeatist!! maybe that's the beginning of a love story!!
ka- I wanna tell paparazzi I was the first to know... like "when they both met it was like an evidence, I knew they would end up together"
n- *so embarrassed* you girls are the worst
vi- we know we're the best»
Law arrived, casually walking towards them. Kaya and Vivi, stopped talking, wondering why Law was there.
«l- I thought I was late
n- almost early
l- he's not here yet?
n- nope
vi- heyyy
ka- are you on the Christmas show?
l- no
ka- ok...».
Nami saw Vivi looking at Law like the 7th wonder of the world, and so did Kaya.
«ka- well, we're gonna go, see you tomorrow
n- yeah, see you
vi- bye... *smiling*».
They both left.
«l- what was that?
n- what?
l- was she ok?
n- who?
l- Vivi
n- sure, she was... normal».
Apoo arrived just at this moment, Nami told him Law was here to help her, so they worked on the song and Law ended recording with Nami, when they finished the session, Apoo said.
«ap- I might end it and post it on your SnailMusic account
n- okay
ap- is that ok for you Law?
l- uh, I guess.. you have a SnailMusic?!
n- yeah, we just posted songs we work on during our session, nobody really listen to it
ap- yeah, but there's his voice on the record so I need his authorisation
l- sure, you have it
n- I'll send you the link
l- nice, well, I need to go to the training
n- oh, can I come too, I gotta give his sweater back to Zoro
l- sure
n- bye Apoo-San
ap- bye miss Americana.. Law..
l- bye».
Law and Nami walked to the dojo, and Nami sent him the link to her SnailMusic account. He took a look, as they were entering the dojo.
«l- damn, I was expecting that much
n- just 5..
l- but didn't the rehearsal started 2 weeks ago or something?
n- something like that but.. apparently "I gotta work hard for my future"
l- wait, you wanna work in music?
n- I have no idea *giggles*
l- *chuckles* nice
n- no, I just, I like the whole process or writing and everything but... I don't know if I wanna make this my job
l- yeah, got this».
At this point, Zoro who was training already spotted them. He's been confused to see Law and Nami talking, he thought Law didn't really like her. He then saw them laugh, and something in him just twisted and he felt like his heart missed a beat. They were walking toward him, so he stood up.
«l- yup
n- heyy
z- hey».
Nami pulled out the green sweater out of her bag and handed it to Zoro, saying coldly :
«n- the other one is still in the laundry».
Law let appear a smile, and Zoro took it, confused.
«z- no hurry
n- well, Law, I text you, right?
l- yup, see you later
n- see ya».
Nami walked away, and once she was out, Zoro looked at Law, with mixed up feelings.
«z- text you?
l- yeah, she gotta tell me either her mom agrees or not for me to sleep at her place again
z- again?
l- yeah, she let me embed last night but, it was kinda late so, I kinda sneaked in
z- you slept at her place?
l- yeah, it was fun
z- fun?
l- yeah, will you repeat every word of mine as a question?
z- I'm just surprised, I mean... why would you sleep at her place?
l- right place right moment I guess
z- aren't you at Kidd's lately?
l- weren't you the one who wanted me to leave
z- yeah, but like... why don't you take Shanks flat?
l- because I don't wanna be liable to him, I don't need his help
z- but Nami's?
l- she understands me... she doesn't... judge me like y'all do
z- I don't judge you, she does though
l- come on, you know what I mean
z- yeah, like, why don't you come to my place?
l- same thing, I mean... we're friends for a long time... this is... so hard as a matter a pride to embed at someone's... and... it just felt okay with Nami... don't take it like that
z- I don't take it '' like that'', I'm just surprised
l- I can see that
z- and why are you so late? where were you?
l- I helped her with her song rehearsal
z- oh because you sing now?
l- apparently, wanna hear it?
z- I'd pay to
l- if I get it, it' ll come out on Friday
z- oh, wow it'll come out
l- just on Nami's platform, I'll send you the link
z- wow... the day and night, what did she do to you?
l-.. I don't know... she's been honest
z- I've been honest! you just didn't care
l- she actually's been soft
z- wait... soft?
l- with words, don't look at me like that
z-...
l- do you know she sleeps with your sweater?
z- what?
l- the one she said was in the laundry, it actually is in her bed
z-... ok?
l- so don't look at me with those eyes.. it's fine
z- *embarrassed* what eyes?
l- you know what eyes».
Law went to change and Zoro was trying to take in everything Law had just told him.
Nami walked home, her mom just got home from work.
«n- heyooo
b- hey
n- what's up?
b- good, what do you wanna ask?
n- me? 'nothing...
b- Nami
n- ok... uh, remember the guy who lived nextdoor
b- Corazon's son ?
n- yeah, well, he kinda needs somewhere to sleep
b- *sighs* doesn't he have other friends?
n- mom, come on, I told him it would be ok
b- his sister too?
n- no, she's sleeps at Kaya's place
b- why doesn't he go there too?
n- because I told him he could come here.. 'cause he's my friend
b-... why is that to be a boy?!
n- it's fine, don't be so dramatic, he's so nice, you won't even notice he's there
b-... how long does he have to stay?
n-... as long as it takes him to find another solution
b-.. *sighs* fine
n- really?!?
b- yeah, fine, but he better be nice or he's out of here
n- sure, thanks mom, you're the best».
Nami kissed her mom on the cheek.
«n- I'll tell him it's ok, he' s gonna come after his training
b- ok...».
She ran upstairs, and texted Law it was ok. Nami went to get her sister's room ready. She then put his bags out of her wardrobe and she put them to her window so she could give him before he enter.
At the dojo, when Law and Zoro were done with the train, Law sent the SnailMusic link to Zoro, and he left for Nami's house.
Once in the street, he walked behind the house and texted Nami he was there. She went to her window and threw the bags at him. He caught them and walked to the entrance door. He rang the doorbell, and Bellemere came to open the door.
«b- heyyy, you might be Law?
l- yeah, nice to meet you
b- I'm Bellemere, come in
l- *comes in* thank you for having me
b- no problem, we got a room free so
l- thank you
b- Nami!! your friend's here!!».
Nami appeared at the end of the stairs.
«n- heyy
b- would you show him the room, I'll finish the dinner
n- yep».
Law walked up stairs with his bags and his katana. Nami opened Nojiko's door, and said :
«n- that's your room, since that's the very first time you come here
l- so fun...
n- yeah, I'm a fun girl. Well, I let you settle down, I'll be in my room if you need
l- ok
n- oh, do you know where's my room, I mean, I should make you visit, shouldn't I?
l- *smiles* no thanks».
He was mid annoyed, mid amused, and watched her leave for her bedroom. Nami lay in her bed and saw messages on the group. She read what was going on and then talked with Vivi, but heard a knock on her door.
«n- yeah ?
l- *opens* can I use the bathroom?
n- sure, go ahead, I'll bring you a towel
l- okay».
Law went to the bathroom, and Nami kept texting Vivi as she took a towel. She then opened the bathroom door and saw Law taking his shirt off, she gave him the towel.
«n- wouh, sexy
l- get out of here
n- I'm gone already».
She closed the door after her, he didn't even notice she took a picture to send it to Vivi later.
She then looked at her phone and saw Luffy added her on a groupchat.
She then saw a text from Vivi.
She went to help her mom to set the table and Law joined them, and they had dinner together. Bellemere obviously asked a few questions to Law, who surprisingly answered quite politely. After dinner, Nami made the dishes, as a nice gesture for her mom, since she accepted to let Law embed.
Law stayed in the kitchen with Nami, 'cause he felt like it was the thing to do, since it was her house.
«n- will you go to the barbecue Ace talked about?
l- yeah, why?
n- you didn' t answer on the group
l- I liked the messages
n- that's your answer?
l- I'm not a talkative guy
n- true.. that makes sense... can't wait to see if Hiyori's gonna come
l- why?
n- to see if Mrs. Kozuki will try something with you again or try to murder me if I dare to look in Zoro's direction
l- probably both, or either. Who knows
n- would you be up to something?
l- mm... fucking's good no matter with who
n- what a sad statement you do
l- told you, she ain't gonna be the love of my life, for sure, but she's pretty
n- she's fuckable
l- yeah, that's it
n- that's rude
l- you asked, I answered
n- my bad...
l- well, it's convenient for you, isn't it?
n- what? that you fuck her?
l- yeah
n- why would it be?
l- so she's less on your back about Zoro
n- *embarrassed* I don't get it
l- don't you? *amused*
n- what do you mean?
l- nothing... I just... I just thought you'd like that idea since you sleep with his sweater but maybe I was wrong
n- *dead of embarrassment*.. I.. I don't
l- you did
n- It was... random, like, I didn't even see it
l- *chuckles* ok, if you say so
n- fuck you».
She hit him with the cloth.
«l- did I touch a sensitive point?
n- no! why are you even talking about that?! that's... nothing
l- ok, fine... nothing... I'll let him know
n- no! wait, why would you even talk about me?!
l- who knows».
Law walked upstairs, and Nami ran after him.
«n- wait, you gotta tell me now
l- tell you what? you said you didn't care
n- I didn't say that».
He entered his room and she followed him.
«l- what?
n- tell me
l- there's nothing to say *chuckles*.. but at least I can see how not concerned you're about him
n-... *rolls her eyes* that's not fun
l- *laughs* it is to me
n- bla bla bla».
Nami get out of the room and went in hers. Law chuckled and closed his door.
She bursted into his room.
«n- you cheeky bagger
l- *amused* sorry, nice pic tho
n- that's the worse picture of me I've even seen, I didn't even know it existed
l- guess I gotta thank your sister. It was on the night table
n- great... now everybody saw it so».
They both looked at the chat. Nami sat on the bed and started giggling.
«n- "what a cute little face"
l- shut up
n- you're blushing?! Hahaha!!».
She took a pictures and sent it.
«l- you didn't?!
n- I did *amused*
l- fuck you!!».
He looked at the picture.
«l- that's awful
n- you started the war!!
l- you just mad 'cause Zoro got to see it
n- *sulks* stop with that
l- *laughs*
n- I'm not talking to you».
She said sulking. He took a pictures and she shouted.
«n- no!! Law... come on
l- then admit it
n- never.».
She firmly said before leaving the room. So Law sent to picture on the group.
He was amused, she was making h think of his sister, he smiled.
After a few minutes and a few chats, he said :
«l- ok you won!! you're the worst !!».
Nami smiled hearing that. She just opened Vivi's text.
Nami then put her phone away and fell asleep thinking about Luffy's message.
