Sub title: Missing You
Nami's POV
As the song to our first dance with one another ended in a moment I could never possibly have imagined, Sanji-kun and I locked our lips together in a blissful state.
Our moans were almost entirely loosed throughout this semi-small cave but we didn't bother to care thanks to the waterfall crashing down on the outside.
I let out a gasp as he bit my lip, prompting me to open my mouth so he could kiss me even deeper. His tongue forcibly crashes into mine, swirling around it as I gladly gave him access explore all over.
I almost forgot at how wonderfully good he is at french kissing me. I felt the sudden adrenaline rush in my veins as my legs were getting too helpless to stand up.
"Damn, I love you!" He said to me lustfully, it honestly sounded really HOT. He then grabs me firmly to lift me up in the water,
I strongly wrapped my arms and legs around him, hugging him tightly as he hold me up while I pressed forward into our kiss, not even sparing the slightest chance to disconnect the sensation.
Soon he carried us almost fully out of the water and then leaned me up against a smooth wall that I glimpsed to be near the spot where I put down my bag.
There was also a space where we could comfortably sit down and just have our legs/feet in the water.
I set my legs back down to slightly stand, however Sanji-kun still held me up a little higher than him as he puts his knee in-between them while he pinned both of my arms above my head.
"Mmm~~" I moaned into his mouth as he bit my lips again, closing my eyes, I let the feeling sink in as I felt myself relax a bit as we continued to french kiss,
I can tell that he was beginning to really love dominating me like this, now that he moves my arms to pinning them above my head.
This is just like what he was doing to me before but I couldn't let him take full control just yet.
I slipped out both of my hands out from his grasp, allowing only a few seconds of disconnection, then I grabbed his face and I forced my tongue back inside him to do my own battle.
I mentally smirked at this in my thoughts, and I slide my tongue over his lips for a moment before I bit down on them altogether.
He carried his hand to the back of my head, keeping me in place and pressing me inwards.
After some time, we slowly broke the kiss, our mouths hung slightly open as we tried to catch our breaths.
I rested my arms loosely over his shoulders though I carried them back a little so that I was tenderly caressing my fingers through his wet blonde hair.
"I love you so much. . ." He panted, breathing heavily as he moved one arm around my lower back while his other was moving up and down my thigh that was a little up to his waist, "I love you so very much❤️"
My face went warm after hearing that, I stared into his eyes that were still full of the same lust as mine, "I love you too, really I do❤️" I said back to him while I softly laid a single kiss to his lips as I slowly sucked on them. I was breathing heavily also,
I see a smile appearing on them, they were a little red due to how hard I bit on them and bet mine were too.
He cupped one side of my face then started to nibble down on a spot on my neck he always chooses to go for,
"You really like going for that spot, don't you, Sanji-kun~~?" I spoke while tracing my hands all over his chest then back up to his shoulders, and up to his face,
"Seems like you must've missed this as much as me then" He said, teasingly licking that side of my neck before biting down on it again, making my face grew warm,
He lowered down to my breasts, "Miss this too?" He gave a quick kiss on top of them,
"Ah--!" I gently shoved him away as my face kept heating up, "Did you have to do that?"
He pouted, "You weren't complaining before so why start now, plus, I may have implied earlier that this swimsuit you have on~~" I felt him begin to fiddle with the tie at the back of my swimsuit, "Is now my favorite"
I huffed in embarrassment then brushed away his hands just as when he finished loosing it. I was wearing a 2 piece rainbow-like swimsuit though I had a short scarf worn loosely around my waist, making it look like a mini skirt over the lower piece.
I quickly tied my bra back up then moved away to sit down on the space near my bag,
"Are you that embarrassed, sweetie?" I heard Sanji-kun laughed,
I carried my leg over the other as I crossed my arms together, I looked away from him, "Hmph!"
He swam over to me, and lifted me off to sit on his lap in the water so I was straddling him, with this position, the water met up to our chest level,
"I am not gonna talk to you"
"Why, angel?~~" He tucked away a lock of my hair,
I still pouted, "Need I remind you that you almost strip me in here, at a place like this where people could just swim by"
"Nami-san, I was only teasing you and you know that 😆 Since when does the location bother you, it didn't seem to bother us last night"
"Hey, last night was a different story!"
"Once again, I have to admit, it's really cute how you can get all embarrassed/shy around me by just something as small as a kiss" He pecked my cheek, proving his point, "I'm glad I had gotten the chance to dance with you in this way, you were amazing"
"Was I?" I asked hopefully, and relieved as I rested my head on his shoulder, "You were amazing too, Sanji-kun, as always, I kinda wish I could get to win over you during kissing"
"You almost did, that was amazing too" He said as he embraced me, while we enjoyed the comfortable, cool silence together in the water,
"So you didn't experience any extreme nightmares last night?" He asked as he rested his head on mine,
"No, I didn't. It wasn't too bad for me last night this time" I replied, "They were mostly about the stab I got in my left arm"
I felt him trace the part of my arm that had my tattoo on, the same exact shoulder that served as a final-to-almost fatal injury for me, "I meant what I said before, it's okay, I'm starting to accept that now"
"You've held it in for so long and carried a lot even when no one was looking. However, I'm glad you decided to trust me enough to tell me all that you're feeling"
"That just proves to show how strong I am, and getting to tell you what was going on as well as trusting you. .it truly felt like it was the right thing to do"
He picked up another Lily flower and tucked it with the first one in my hair, "I may not be able to remove the scars left on you by him, though I deeply wish I could right now, but someday I will make an effort to block away the pain you had. You deserve to rest" He entwined his fingers with mine, "I want to do so much more for you, my love"
"You are already doing that at this very moment" I lifted up my head a little as I gave him a smile, "You're being my boyfriend, and that's all I could ask for of you"
I then kissed him, "Oh and by the way, there's a little something I'd like to tell you~~"
"And what's that?"
"Well, along with you being the first person to I've ever danced with" I started twirling my hair, "You were also my very, and I mean VERY, first. ." I trailed off as I blushed,
Sanji-kun looked at me confused before finally getting it, "You mean. . . . . .I'm your first kiss??"
I nodded with my hands covering my fully blushed face, "I-I was going to tell you about it at the festival then at the after-party after you asked me to be your girlfriend but then I got so overwhelmingly excited and I lost the words---Sanji-kun👀😳?"
He dropped his head on my chest like he had just passed out,
"Are you having a nosebleed now, seriously?!" I quickly shake him back to life,
As soon as I did, he brings me back to sit on his lap and happily kissed me as he grabbed my face,
"Sorry, I'm just really overjoyed that I got to left my own permanent mark by being the first to steal your lips" He said as he bit down on them though not as hard as before, "They're so soft. . .so beautiful. . .and I beat him to it"
"You pervert" I giggled as I began to moan into his mouth, colliding my tongue into his as I wrapped my arms around his head to support my action while his hands traveled up and down my back,
I disconnected from his lips and moved down to lay kisses on his neck, gently nibbling my way up to his jaw, and lightly sucking on his skin,
"Nami-san~💕 " He moaned out as he continuously move his hands throughout my hair, caressing the back of my head,
I stopped after I licked his earlobe, placing a final kiss to his cheek, causing a blush to form on them afterwards,
He held my face with one hand, "You didn't have to stop"
My eyes wavered, "Then don't"
We both reconnected our lips again in another blissful state like before, closing our eyes to enjoy the feeling of swirling our tongues around the other with our moans filling the cave again,
"Oh so this is where you two were?"
"‼️‼️"
I shot my eyes open to the sound of a familiar voice apart from us,
Sanji-kun and I looked to our sides, almost wide eyed to see who was standing there at the entrance/exit of the cave.
~ ~ ♡ ~ ~
No One's POV
"Never thought I'd find you two here, then again, I'm kinda surprised. Honestly thought you were both still waterfall diving with the others" Bell-mere said to them, her burgundy hair was still down from her ponytail and she was back wearing her poncho,
"Did you follow us here?" Nami asked as Sanji helped themselves to stand up,
"No, no, you got it a little backwards, Nami" Bell-mere slightly chuckled, "Your father and I actually owned this section with the waterfall, cave etc"
"You and Dad. .?"
"Owned here?" Sanji finished Nami's question, both being confused,
"Well technically it's originally in Natsuki's name though he let me have 50% ownership after I married him. Something we weren't quite ready to tell nor show you nor Nojiko yet. How did you know before we did? We haven't been up to the waterfalls as family for quite some time"
"The very last time we visited, I may have wondered off here and I sorta felt. ."
"Drawn?" Bell-mere knowingly finished with a half smile on her face, "Figured as much since your father took me here constantly to relax when I was still pregnant with you. Makino took care of Nojiko that time and we didn't want her seeing me throwing a tantrum. . .I guess the feeling of this place sorta just transfered into you"
Bell-mere finished explaining, she then crossed her arms as she focused with a serious expression to the couple, "And now for you two"
"Are you still mad about last night?"
"No, I'm not. I was a little mad at both of you yet I also didn't want to lash out in front of everyone. Now I'm giving you both the chance to explain yourselves to me of what's happening so. ." Bell-mere composed herself, she looked to her daughter,
"Mom, I. . ."
"Nami, Sanji. . .are you two in an actual relationship?"
The couple shared a glance to each other,
"Yes Mom, we are in a relationship" Nami replied,
"And you kept it from your father and me?"
"It was my idea to keep it a secret for a while. I feel like I wasn't ready to tell you at first because of what happened 8 years ago, and you know how much I've changed since" Nami said, putting a hand to her left shoulder,
"Were you still going through the. . ." Bell-mere looked at her concerned,
"I didn't wanna bother you all with anymore of my problems, you've already helped me enough" Nami said, taking a deep breath, "But that was how I was feeling then, now I'm coming to accept it on a different approach, so Mom. ."
Nami entwined her fingers together with Sanji's as she goes to embrace him while still looking at her mother, "I have deep feelings for Sanji-kun. I didn't want to tell you firsthand not because I was scared of how mad you'll be. .it was because of how worried you all were for me 8 years ago, you've all done everything you can to help me and I blamed myself for what I put you through. I wanted to handle my own problems without involving you again but that was how I used to feel. . .What I'm feeling now is a lot more different and I've come to accept that"
Nami then looks up at the blonde with a smile on her face, "So Mom, all I'm asking is. . . would you accept my newfound relationship into our home? I know it's unexpected but I really care about Sanji-kun since the time I met him and I've made up my mind of wanting to be with him"
Bell-mere's widened in astonishment at her daughter's words, "You really feel that way, Nami?"
Nami confidently nodded, "Yes Mom"
"And you, Sanji, is it true?" Bell-mere turned to the blonde, "About when you met each other?"
"It's true. . I have taken an interest in your daughter ever since the day we met" Sanji replied honestly as he returns the embrace on Nami, "I've grown so fond of her until eventually I started to love her more than I should have"
He caresses her cheek, "I genuinely love her for all that she is and I don't regret any second I've spent with her so far up to this point. I want to be with her too"
Nami's eyes watered with happy tears at his words and they embraced each other lovingly,
Bell-mere almost didn't know what to say as she watched the loving exchange between the couple. She observed how happy her youngest daughter was, her smile looked pure and her words were honest as she had nothing to hide anymore, and to think that Sanji would be the one to get to her open up this way after everything, made Bell-mere see things a lot more clearer than she has in almost a decade later.
'She's really grown up, huh?' Bell-mere said in thought, smiling as she suddenly sits down,
"Mom?!" Nami rushed to her side, followed by Sanji, "What's wrong, are you feeling okay?"
"I'm alright, dear, I'm alright" Bell-mere replied with a small laugh, "I'm just at a loss for words, never thought that I'd get to see one of my kids blossoming their own happiness in this way"
She held her Nami's face in her palms, "I'm proud of you, Nami. You really took care of yourself. If only you would've talked to us, I know you're an adult and all but you still could've told us, we're your family"
"I believed I could've handled it on my own, I didn't want you all to be upset over me again. I had put you through much as a daughter" Nami said,
Bell-mere hugged her as a sad feeling rose up in her chest, "It's not your fault, sweetie, it's really not"
Nami returned the hug, "I know, Mom. I did say that I don't feel that way anymore, so we won't have to worry. I've gotten this far, didn't I?"
"And that's a strong woman right there, kiddo. Once again, I'm proud of you" Bell-mere tried to ruffle her daughter's hair, "Uhh, you know what, imma wait til your hair gets dry first then I can do that"
Nami giggled at that, "Classic Mom 😆"
Sanji was smiling in admiration at the mother-daughter moment, just as they finished, Bell-mere turned her attention to him,
"Sanji"
He answered, feeling a little nervous, "Yes?"
Bell-mere pats his head, "Don't be nervous, I'm not that scary as how Nami told you"
"Oh?" He asked, hopefully,
"Only on certain things"
"👀😶"
"Mom, stop that, now you're actually scaring him"
"I wasn't even trying to be, but do I really come off that strong? Your father may do have a poi---don't tell him I said that"
The three of them then share a laugh at the statement before Bell-mere went back to what she was trying to say to Sanji at the beginning,
"So back to what to what I was going to say to you, Sanji" She re-patted his head gently, "Ever since you came to work for us, Natsuki and I have considered you as another son of ours, like Nate, Luffy and his brothers. We treat everyone as equals/family/Nakama, we don't treat anyone as if they're below us. We believed that you would do good around here, and I'm very glad to see that we were right. . .
. . .Our family has gotten through it's own struggles, thinking we solved all them, only for me to now see that Nami's wasn't completely solved as we thought but you helped her, even when we hadn't include to tell you, so here's when I say. . .Thank You. I haven't seen her this genuinely happy in a long, long time, especially when it comes to being in love"
Bell-mere then takes his hand to join with Nami's, with a wide smile she continued, "You really made her happy and you're happy with her too so here's when I also say. .I accept your relationship together with her"
"You really mean it?"
Bell-mere nodded,
Sanji turns to Nami as they close the space in-between them to happily embrace each other again, "Thank you for accepting me, Ms Bell-mere"
"You don't have to call me that anymore, Sanji. From now on, I'd like for you to call me, 'Mom'. "
Both Sanji and Nami simultaneously turned to Bell-mere in surprise, never thought they'd be hearing that next apart from her approval,
Now it was Sanji's turn to be speechless, "Mom. .You want me to call you. . Mom?"
"I know you have your biological mother out there waiting but if you're in a relationship with my daughter, technically you're like my son now---whoa!"
Bell-mere paused as Sanji gave her a hug, she blinked in surprise, "Did I say something. . .?"
Nami politely shrugged her shoulders with an 'I'm not sure' look,
Sanji quickly let go after realizing what he just did, "Sorry, I got carried away. . .just felt a little emotional by what you said and I'd be delighted to call you that"
"No apologies needed, take your time. Oh and I rather you call me 'Mom' after you two tell Natsuki, I say we give it more time" Bell-mere suggested before turning to leave, "I rather get back to him since he was the one who told me to check up on this place. Don't want him to file an MIA report"
"Okay, you go. We'll be right with you shortly" Nami said,
"Don't stay too, too long in here, wouldn't want y'all to catch a cold before dinner time"
"Yeah, we know"
"Take care of my daughter, Sanji. She's gone through a lot and I'd hate it if something happens to her"
"I promise I won't hurt her in any way at all" Sanji said as he hugged Nami closer to him, "I love her too much to let that happen, and I won't leave her"
"I won't leave you either" Nami said after him, reassuringly, then the two of them leaned in for a long passionate kiss,
Bell-mere smiled at the two in approval as she continued her way out the cave to give them their space. She looked back at them one more time through the mist, seeing their mutual feelings reminded her of her moment with Natsuki back in their younger days when he took her here on one of their dates,
'They surely surpassed our expectations, they have a bright future ahead of them' She said in thought,
"Mom!"
"Jesus Christ, Nojiko, don't just jump outta nowhere like that!" Bell-mere said to her eldest daughter who she just saw standing in front of her,
"I just got here, Dad sent me to find you after you've been gone for some time"
"Worried already, when I've only been here for 15 minutes?"
"And that includes the walking. Yeah, you've only been here for a short time" Nojiko added,
"For crying out loud, if he was going to get worried after HE sent me to check something, he should've followed" Bell-mere shook her head, "Good thing, he didn't though"
"What? Nevermind, I kinda saw you walking from that waterfall, is there something in there?" Nojiko asked, she squinted her eyes and saw a glimpse of her sister and Sanji through the water,
"Wait, how are they literally standing in this part of the waterfall, is there something behind there?"
Bell-mere placed her arm over her shoulder and spun her around to begin leading themselves up the stone steps, "Let's not disturb them, dear, let's go"
Nojiko was partially confused, "So you know now, and you're. .not mad?"
"Why's everyone keep asking me that? And enough questions going towards me, I wonder if anyone else has a secret relationship hiding around, perhaps another certain daughter of mine"
"I'm not in a relationship with anyone, Mom"
Bell-mere gave her daughter the bombastic side eye that says 'Really?',
"So you're telling me that the whole thing with Ace is just. .what? For a play rehearsal?!"
Nojiko's face grew red, "I'm not in a relationship with him, we're just friends!"
Bell-mere was still giving her the side eye, "Mhm, where have I heard that before?"
"Oh c'mon, Mom!" Nojiko buried her face in hands as she sighed, "You know what, I'd prefer if you were still mad at me"
"Sweetheart, I know for sure that you very well don't want that happening"
"😖😖😖"
~ ~ ♡ ~ ~
~~Later~~
☆☆~So the day went on as it is, altho MQ (the author) wanted to add more detailed scenes between SaNami after their time behind the waterfall, and some other detailed scenes with the others right here but she decided to just summarize~☆☆
Carrying on, so as said, the rest of day went on as it is. Sanji and Nami did eventually went back to the other waterfalls to do a few more fun yet some dangerously Tom and Jerry activities with their friends and family.
Luffy and Ace gave Sabo a hard yet hilarious time to do a sport they shouldn't be doing and almost died again! For like the 100th time!
Karoo took TK for a fly in the air and a swim on his back as they explored some other kinds of fishes and river critters, they even started a whole collection with Luffy.
Vivi was beyond overjoyed to see her favorite ship conversing again, and Koza had to catch her every single time she passes out.
During dinner, everyone got together to play UNO that involved a lot of cheating and STEALING of someone's cards, Sabo and Luffy still tried to get Ace to break his cool barrier. Oh and Luffy did try to eat a whole bag of marshmallows before they got turned into s'mores, Sanji had to dropkick him away.
Everyone had the same amount of fun/craziness on the 3rd and supposedly, the LAST DAY of their trip.
Supposedly??
~ ~♡ ~ ~
~~Day 3 of the Trip aka Wednesday~~
~~Some time in the morning~~
~~🕙About 10am🕙~~
"Okay, I think I got it now" Ace said from up in a tree top, carefully trying to take down a few of the hanging lanterns,
"There we go, nice and saf--"
"WOOOOHOOO!!" Luffy screamed loudly, once again swinging through the trees while taking down some of the decorations on his own term,
His screams may have startled Ace and his fire burnt the tree branches he was balancing on, "I'm soo gonna lock that monkey in a cage then burn away the keys"
Sanji lent him a hand to stand up, "You would do that to your own brother? Personally, I wouldn't take that"
Ace then dusted off his shorts, "Well, it worked once, didn't promise I wouldn't do it again if he mess me up"
Sabo joins in as he took up the lanterns and other lights that fell with Ace to the ground, "No, you're not tossing Luffy in the shark cage like what you did to him when he was 7"
"He got over it, how was I supposed to know that he'd already eaten a devil fruit back then?"
"He developed a shark-phobia because of it!"
Ace then fired up his hands, "He would be fine in an ordinary cage, right?"
"You threatened to throw him in the Punk-waiian Hazard volcano last year, and let's not forget that you almost gave me another burnt scar on my FACE, yesterday!! Define ordinary"
"You wouldn't stop pestering me about the UNO card!"
"Oh so you can tease me about Koala but I can't 'pester' you about other things to make it even?!" Sabo dramatically gasped, "I am shooked"
As the two brothers were bickering over their little brother's life sentence as well as their own, Nami went over to them,
She sighed, "Another episode of the ASL squabble, again?"
"Indeed it is" Sanji sighed also, "How's everything going on your side, need any help?"
"We got everything half covered so we're good, just that Vivi's kinda, how shall I put this?🤔"
"She's still not taking the last day too well?"
"Let's just say she's taking her time, Karoo's tryna calm her down with a sitcom I had downloaded" Nami tucks away her hair, "Do you mind if I talk with you for a bit, about something"
"Sure. Hey, Nojiko, I'll be right back to help you with those in a bit"
Nojiko gave a thumbs up as an okay before going back to do her own thing,
~ ~ ♡ ~ ~
~~At the creek~~
Sanji's POV
"You've been tucking your hair back at least 10 times since we started walking, what's on your mind?" I asked Nami-san who was fidgeting with her hands,
"It's nothing"
I stopped in front of her and lifted her head up to meet her eyes, holding her hand as I did so,
"What I meant to say was, it's nothing bad" She corrected,
"If it's nothing bad then why are you still fidgeting, I'd like to know what's bothering you"
She then sat down on a rock nearby us that wasn't too far away from the stream, "It's because I'm very nervous, and what I want to talk about. . . it's kinda unsettling and I don't know how to go about it"
"I'm listening"
"Soo~~ You know how today's the last day for Vivi's time with us, both here and at home. It's kinda the same thing for me. .except a little longer"
"What do you mean?" I got very concerned, now eager to know what's making her this nervous,
She got back up then took both of my hand into hers, "I'll also. . .be leaving soon"
"You're. .leaving?"
Nami-san quietly nodded as she hugged me, "When I said 'a little longer', I meant with the amount days I have with everyone. Starting today, I have a week left before I go back overseas. . .so you wouldn't be seeing me at home"
I stared at her in my arms as she buried her face into my chest. This felt so unexpected to hear that she was leaving.
I then felt myself becoming saddened at what I was about to tell her,
"Nami-san. . .I won't be at home"
"Hm?"
"I won't be at your house anymore. I'm going to be assigned elsewhere since it was originally intended that I'd stay here for about a year, now a year's almost over. . .I'll also be far away from this side of the East Blue"
"So. .would that mean we won't get to see each other. ." She trailed off as her eyes began to well up in tears at the thought, she hurriedly blinked them away so I wouldn't see them, "Would we?"
I quickly embraced her tightly as I brushed down her hair, "Please don't say it like that, I don't want you to be sad"
She then looked up at me, "I don't want us to separate, not like this" She held my face with one hand, "Just not like this, being away from my friends and family is one thing but being away from you. . .can I carry on with that?"
"Yes you can" I kissed her forehead, "You always could, even before you met me"
"That was before I started to look into myself again, and before I even experience real love with someone. I always left on my own, thinking I didn't anymore help especially when I know I do. My heart doesn't want to go back to that, it's happy being with you"
"I don't want us to separate either, I didn't expect we'd be leaving at the same time" I kissed the top of her head as she buried her face on me once more, lightly gripping my shirt. It hurts me to see her trying to stifle her cries so I wouldn't hear them, "This year has given us a wonderful experience and I'm grateful for that"
"Would you be okay where you're going next, Sanji-kun?"
"I will be fine, it's not really the first time this had happened to me, I'm used to it" I reassured her as she lifted her head up for me to meet her worried eyes, I smiled at her, "Would you, yourself, be okay?"
"Yeah. Carrot and Wanda are great roomies and colleagues to be around, we all took care of one another 24/7 and I'd be going back to meet them"
"Then I shouldn't be too worried about you if you'll be at the same place as before"
I then ran my fingers through her long hair that lead all the way down her back, my heart races at how it looks when it's blowing in the wind that had just brushed past us, "Will I ever get to see you again?"
"The place that I'm going with Carrot and Wanda, the time zone can be shifty, it doesn't stay in one place. . . it'll be awhile to get there" Nami-san replied, the sadness was evident in her voice,
"We'll be so far away from each other"
I lowered my head on her shoulder as I brought my arms to her waist, "Gosh. .I don't think I could ever be apart from you" I then placed a long kiss to her cheek while inhaling her citrus fragrance that was so mesmerizing,
"I'll do my best to come see you" I told her as I directed my kisses to her neck,
"You will?"
"Yes. My heart's happy with you too, any chance I get, I will take it to come see you. You're one special woman that I really adore having in my life"
"When are you leaving?"
I felt a little hesitant to answer this part of Nami-san's question but I knew I had to be honest,
She wrapped her arms around my neck as she waited for my answer, "Sanji-kun?"
". . .Early next week"
She shifted her head to meet my gaze, bringing a hand to my face, I saw her giving me her kind smile, "Then let's make the most of what we have now"
I didn't say anything in return as I gently pulled her forward to seal our lips together. She wasn't crying or anything, and she didn't sound too sad with what she said but the other side says otherwise.
As we pressed into our kiss, I could feel how much she was going to miss me, and I wanted her to feel the same thing coming from me.
"I love you, Sanji-kun"
"I love you too, Nami-san"
We continued embracing each other, making use of the comfortableness before we go back.
Nami-san went to sit down on the same rock from earlier and I sat beside her on a lower one, with our eyes just fixated on the stream, I laid my head down on her lap.
She ran her hand through my hair over and over while she began humming a melody.
I closed my eyes as I listened to her,
My departure next week came up sudden like hers, however, it was more of a short notice. . .It couldn't be helped, and I just had to tell her despite another particular reason.
I can't bare to leave her like this when she had already opened up her soul to me and accepted me into her life.
Even so, nothing can ever change how much I am going to miss staying by her side.

No One's POV
~~Back at The Campsite~~
~~Near The ASL treehouse tents~~
Nojiko groaned in annoyance at the two brothers in front of her, both of them having punch-bumps on their heads and both were angrily looking away from each other,
"Can't you boys just not squabble for 30 minutes straight??!" She asked, fairly yelling at them,
"He started it!/I was only trying to prove a point!" Ace and Sabo complained in unison, saying different things,
"Looks like me smacking you guys in the head isn't enough for you, isn't it? Let this be your last chance that I'm gonna have to set you both straight, please, we can't have any negativity going around the morning when Vivi's in a mood, you don't want her last time with you two to be when you were fighting over whatever reason"
The brothers kept quiet, knowing that Nojiko was right,
Luffy then landed beside her, walking by while eating a bag of chips, he said, "You heard that, Ace, she said last chance so better not mess it up"
Nojiko raised a brow in confusion, "What is he talking about, mess what up?"
Ace tries to brush it off, "It's nothing, it's Luffy being Luffy"
"Where have I heard that before? Hmm, where?" Sabo rolled his eyes in sarcasm,
"Shut it, Sabo!" Ace threatened,
Nojiko just shook her head in annoyance at this, she walked away from the boys, "I don't know what the heck is up but let's just get back to clearing up and then we all spend the remaining time watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S with Vivi"
Nojiko be like:
"Great going, Romeo, you just had to mess it up again😑" Sabo said to Ace,
"Me?!"
"YES! You're really making it difficult for her--ALWAYS! You've been at this since highschool, and on every single outting, why can't you just take it seriously for once?!"
Ace remained silent although he was still glaring at Sabo,
"What? Don't tell me that you turned into a roasted chicken now, dear brother"
Ace widened his eyes, his mouth agape, "You know what, FINE, I'll go do it!" He storms off,
Sabo watched him leave just as Luffy landed beside him, handing him some of his chips, "Was it worth it almost getting burnt just now?"
Sabo smiled in satisfaction, "Totally worth it"
~ ~♡ ~ ~
"What now, Ace?" Nojiko asked as she threw away some items in trash bag,
"I'm. . .sorry that you had to see me fight with Sabo, and/or Luffy" Ace said,
Nojiko glanced at him for a second before resuming her work, "You fight with them all the time, you're all brothers, I don't get why you're apologizing to me"
She starts to walk away, "Apologize to them instead"
Ace grabbed her wrist to stop her, "I-I had to apologize to you because of another reason, either ways, I have to ask you something"
"Have to or want to?"
"Both. I should've asked you this a long time ago and I still really want to ask you" Ace took a deep breath as the freckles on his face started going pink, "I want to ask, would you like to go. . . ."
"?????" Nojiko snapped her fingers in his face as he trailed off, "You okay, flame boy?"
Nojiko followed Ace's vision to looking behind her, where they saw Sanji and Nami coming back from the creek, both were in a conversation.
But what really caught Ace off guard was that they were holding hands and the other thing that really catches him more off guard was when Nami kissed Sanji on the cheek after he helped her carry a few boxes. . .after which, Sanji kissed her back and this time it was on the lips.
Ace's jaw dropped wide open just as Sabo walked up beside him with the same expression,
"WHOA!" The blonde brother exclaimed, putting a hand to his head,
Ace stuttered on his words as he pointed, "Did she just--and he---are they????"
Nojiko patted the brothers' shoulders as she spun them around to walk away, "Sorry you boys had to see that, really, BELIEVE ME"
"Wait, you knew?!" They asked in unblinking unison, couldn't believe their ears, "How long?"
"For a while, and don't get me started on WHEN they hooked up" Nojiko said, shaking away the memory,
The two brothers shared unbelievable-like stares to each other,
Sabo smiled, "Guess that means our little sister's out of her shell then" He glances back at the couple, "Woohoo!"
"They look so happy together" Ace smiled along with him, "✨Way to go, Nami and Sanji"
"Speaking of 'happy together', weren't you gonna ask Nojiko something, Ace. That's if you haven't **cough** chicken out" Sabo said,
"Do another flame pun one more time and we'll see who gets roasted tonight" Ace threatened, igniting a fire ball in his palm before disengaging it, he then turned to Nojiko,
"So what is it were you gonna ask me, did you forget what it is?"
"Oh nuuu he haven't forgot" Sabo teased before backing away from his brother and Nojiko, and before Ace could fire-shot him, fully leaving him alone this time,
"Ace?"
"Nojiko" Ace locked eyes with her, building up his confidence although he hasn't done this before, he has tried but he never really approached the feeling nor have the experience to know how to formulate his speech.
He caressed the female's long, curlish blue hair for a moment then spoke,
"You've been my classmate for like, forever, and I've been meaning to ask you this one question. . .would you like to go out with me?"
Nojiko blinked multiple times, "W-W-What??"
Ace repeated as his freckles turned pink, "I-I asked, if would you like to go out with me?"
Nojiko kept blinking multiple times, finding it completely unbelievable that Ace would ask her such a question. It was very unlikely that she had to hear it twice,
She clutched her stomach in laughter, causing Ace to look away, "I never *hahaha* thought you would *hahaha* ask me, even now😂"
Nojiko grabbed his shirt collar, "💢Do. . You. . KNOW HOW LONG!! I've waited for you to ask that darn question, PORTGAS D. ACE!!??!!"
She then Sakura-dropped him to the ground, prompting Ace to feel scared at the sudden change in her voice, she knelt down beside him,
"Just don't make me wait an hour or so for you to pick me up" Nojiko said, pulling him up halfway his shirt, then planted a gentle kiss on his cheek before standing back up, whipping her hair as she smirked, "Sure, I'll go out with you"
She gave him a wink before walking away,
Ace felt like his life flashed before his eyes, he dreamingly sighed as he puts his hand on the part of his face that she kissed, "☺️Wowsers"
Sabo and Luffy appeared outta hiding from the bushes, "Dude, did you really just say 'Wowsers' ?"
Ace's face turned completely red in embarrassment, "Be quiet!"
~ ~ ♡ ~ ~
"Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys!!" Vivi called to her friends excitedly, immediately summoning them to her,
"You won't believe what just happened"
"What's wrong, Blueberry?"
"Dad says our plane date got a little delayed so we won't be leaving tomorrow!😃"
"So you're staying here for another day?" Nami asked,
"Yess!!! Isn't that exciting? We get to camp for another Day, AAHHH!!" Vivi squealed,
"Hooray, she stays!" Luffy cheered, doing a high five and some sort of bestie handshake with Vivi,
"But won't she still be moody tomorrow, though?" Sanji asked,
"Let's just let her have this one, and enjoy the moment" Koza said, "It'll be worse when we get back home, trust me"
"Who'll be betting for the airport?" Nojiko asked the others,
Everyone lifted their hands up, "✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻"
Me: That's why I said, "Supposedly"
~ ~ ♡ ~ ~
~~2 Days Later~~
~~Night time~~
"Nooo😭😭😭I don't want to go!!" Vivi cried as she hugged Nami and Luffy,
All 3 of them were hugging each other in a trio hug, crying at the same time,
"We don't want you to go either, Vivi!!" They cried,
Bell-mere was turned to the others, "I say we should all go out for dinner tonight since we all tied in the bet"
"Agreed!" Everyone said,
They all escorted Vivi and her family to the airport, after coming back from their camping trip, they got their already packed suitcases and then drove straight to the airport.
They got the evening flight and it was almost their time to take off soon,
"Just remember to call us when you take off, okay, don't forget!" Nami reminded her cousin,
"Don't let her forget either, Vivi's Dad/Igaram!" Luffy said,
"We won't, Luffy. Just take care of yourselves"
"Easy for you to say, you guys are gonna be on a plane for like 4 to 5 hours tonight, then some time after that it's another 5 to 6 hour flight, then another one, and another, then it's up to like a 14 hour flight before Alabasta" Luffy calculated, "And that includes the hotel rest stops and if you chose connecting flights"
"We'll be fine" Cobra ruffled each of the ASL brothers' hair, "Make sure to stay out of trouble, you three"
"We will, sir!"
"Hold on, did Luffy just calculated a flight distance from one place to another just now?" Sabo asked Ace, the two of them fell silent in confusion at the paradox,
Vivi then went over to Sanji, "It was really nice meeting you, Sanji, I'm glad I could get to meet/know you overall, summer turned out to be extra great with you"
Sanji tried not to pass out at the compliment, he too was going to miss Vivi since she was his and Nami's #1 supporter, "We're really gonna miss having you here, Vivi-swan~~"
Vivi smiled as she reached into her bag to take out a plushie of Amidamaru from Shaman King, and a flashdrive, "Do you mind giving the plushie to TK and the flashdrive to Nate, it has all of the Shaman King episodes, as well as Yu-Gi-Oh and Shinzo for TK to watch to keep him busy"
"I will surely see to that the next time I visit them" Sanji said,
Vivi then pulled both him and Nami together in another trio hug, "Please take care of one another, my favorite ship!" She whisper-squealed,
They hugged her back, "Thanks Vivi"
"Now boarding for the Nefertari family" A flight attendant came up to them,
"I guess this is it" Vivi said, giving each and everyone one last hug before taking up her carry-on,
"Later bros" Koza waved to Sanji, Ace, Sabo and Luffy, fist bumping each of them, "Let our next UNO be in Alabasta next time"
"That's if we can handle the flight, Ace gets air sick from time-to-time" Sabo said,
"Imma spare you this time til we get home"
"Bye Koza!"
"🌟Bye everyone! I'll miss you, had a really great flippin' summer!🌟" Karoo wrote on a sign,
"Bye Auntie/Uncle, love you!" Vivi waved,
"Love you too, Vivi!"
"Byeeee Karoo!!"
"See you again soon, Blueberry/Vivi-swan~~!!" Nojiko, Nami, Sanji cheered at the same time, and all three were frantically crying for her departure,
Just before Vivi stepped into the plane, Luffy called out to her,
"Vivi, there's one more thing we'd like to do for you!"
Vivi's eyes watered at the next scene unfolding in front of her by her friends and family,
(ALL of them are doing this btw, including Ace, Nojiko and Sabo)
Nami, Nojiko and Luffy looked from the corner of her eye over their shoulders, "You didn't possibly think we'd forgot our signature farewell, Vivi"
Vivi was smiling brightly at them, tears gladly spilling over as she and Karoo returned the farewell,
Me: OMG I can't take this😭😭😭I cried at that scene as kid!!! WAAAAAAAAA
~ ~ ♡ ~ ~
Before leaving, everyone stayed at the airport for a little while longer just to watch the Nefertari family's plane finally taking off into sky.
Shortly after, everyone started going back home for the night.
Nate and TK, if you're wondering, they went home early so they hadn't followed the others to the airport but they still got to say their farewells to Vivi.
Ace and Sabo went back to their house on their own for Luffy decided to sleepover at the mansion again.
Boi, are they surely gonna miss Vivi🤧🤧
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~~End off Chapter 14 Part 2🌹🌊✈️ (I guess?)
I still miss Vivi in the anime😭😭 as a kid, I LITERALLY HOPED that she was gonna stay with the crew (entirely) up to the point when Robin joined but noooo Oda be like: Scratch that, she's staying behind as well as Karoo.
I have gotten used to the crew as how they are now but nothing can remove the fact that Vivi and Karoo aren't there, plus the fact that I desperately wanted them to join 😭😭😭
I saw them at the Reverie and I was overjoyed! Kinda forgot that the crew hadn't seen her in 2yrs, honestly feels like we haven't seen her since yesterday 🤧💕
Hopefully none of y'all aren't traumatized by the first half of this page, my apologies 😅💀they were too in the moment but you gotta admit that the song they danced to is pretty romantic 🌹🌹🌹
But look! Bell-mere accepted their relationship, hooray 🎉🎉A little unexpected, right? Can't wait to see how her husband would react.
How WOULD he react. .?
Only way to find out is to keep reading, thank you for making it this far readers/followers✨✨
