**I do not own any of the characters from One Piece. Enjoy the story!!**

My eyes slowly opened to see a man with fluffy, brown hair laying next to me. His green eyes stared into mine as he took a strand of my hair and tucked it behind my ear. There wasn't much I remembered, besides that I know I had gone to see Luffy yesterday. What happened after that? I sat up in my bed and stretched. Olly grabbed my wrist and looked at me.

"Am I going to get a good morning kiss?" he asked me, "Or even just a 'good morning, babe?'" I giggled then leaned down to peck Olly's soft lips.

"Good morning," I said. As I sat back up, there was this huge, sharp pain in the back of my head. I winced in pain, which Oliver immediately noticed.

"Hey, hey, hey," Oliver said, sitting up next to me, "You alright, gorgeous?" I shot Olly a smile, hopefully, a convincing one, and nodded my head gently.

"Yeah, just a headache," I replied. Then I knew why there was this strong pain in the back of my head: I got drunk last night, didn't I? "What happened last night?" I asked my boyfriend. 

"You were with Luffy and drank too much sake," Oliver laughed, "He brought you home last night. You should probably thank him for that, you know." Thank god I didn't wake up in Luffy's bed. 

"Yeah, I should, shouldn't I?" I laughed, scratching the back of my head, "How long have I been knocked out?"

"I don't really know," Oliver said, "Does it really matter?" I sighed and shook my head, then laid back down with Oliver. I rested my head on his chest as he played with my orange hair. He looked down at me and smiled widely. "God, you're a goddess," he said, "You have no idea how grateful I am to have you, and you don't understand how much I am literally in love with you." Oliver placed a kiss on my forehead, then continued on playing with my hair. Trust me, I wanted to say the same thing, but I don't know if that's how I feel. I just smiled then closed my eyes.

After a couple of hours of laying in bed, Oliver had gone home, while I started getting ready for my day. Robin hadn't been home at all, which was a bit strange. I'm assuming she had stayed the night with Zoro or something. 

Today I had decided to wear my hair up in a messy bun. I wore a pastel blue baby tee, with some grey sweatpants. As I have every day since Luffy gave me this necklace, I had put that on. It had felt special to me. More special than anything else I had. There was a part of me that wouldn't let go of it.

God, why do I care so much about a necklace?! It's just some dumb old necklace. I can buy a whole bunch of others and have no problem with leaving them at my house and not wearing them all the time. Was it really because it was from Luffy?

Speaking of the devil, as I had started my lunch, Luffy had actually sent me a text message.

From: Luffy
Uh, Nami? Do you have my hat? I can't find it. I'm pretty sure you stole it from me last night when you were drunk.

I looked around my house, trying to find Luffy's hat, but hadn't seen it anywhere.

To: Luffy

Nope. Don't be an idiot. It's probably sitting on your dresser or something.

From: Luffy
Well, I found it! Shishishi. It had been lying under the coffee table. Whoops!

To: Luffy
Dummy.

From: Luffy
God, Hammock won't shut up about how terrible she thinks you are. Can't you, like, IDK, threaten Hammock and say if she doesn't shut up about it you'll make her pay you  542926.48 berries? 

To: Luffy
She won't be threatened by that. 

From: Luffy
So what?

To: Luffy
Nevermind. The point is, that's not going to work. She won't just pay me money because I told her to.

From: Luffy

Okay, fine. Can I come over, though?

To: Luffy

As long as Hancock doesn't get mad at you for it, sure. But I'll be going shopping. So you'll have to leave before that.

From: Luffy

Can't I come with you? Please, Nami? I need a break from this woman!

To: Luffy
Sure. Come on over, ig. 

From: Luffy

Alright, yay!

I turned off my phone and placed it in my pocket as I continued eating the rest of my lunch. For some reason, I had this huge urge to see Luffy right now. Why do I even act surprised that I miss him so much? I've missed him for five years now, and of course, I'd instantly catch feelings for him again as soon as I saw his face again. I just don't want him to leave again. All I want is for him to be by my side at all times because I can't go without seeing him for five years. Again.

Suddenly, there was a knock at my door. As quickly as I could, I ran over to the door and opened it, where Luffy, with a huge grin, had been standing. He wore a t-shirt with jeans today, with his straw hat on his head, like usual.

"Hey, Nami!" Luffy greeted. I smiled at let him walk through the door and enter my house. He threw himself onto my couch and let out a huge sigh. "God, finally I got out of that place! Hammock wouldn't shut up. I'm so lucky I was able to get away from her. I'm surprised she let me leave when I told her that I had some things to do. Normally she would argue and argue but she just let me go. Thank god. Dammit, can't I just end the engagement already? Why should I be forced to marry someone I don't even want to marry?! What if I want to marry someone else?!" Luffy looked up at me, and his cheeks immediately turned pink. "Uh, well, yeah. I mean, I don't want to even marry. It's stupid anyway."

"Stupid, right," I laughed as I itched the back of my neck. "But, I'm sorry you feel that, way Luffy. It sucks, I know. " I walked towards Luffy as he sat up on the couch into a sitting position. As I looked into his eyes, I could tell they had been tearing up. God, I couldn't imagine how he feels. He's getting forced to marry someone he doesn't even love. 

I had been about to say something until Luffy threw his arms around me and hugged me as tight as he possibly could. He had been sniffling as he squeezed me tighter and tighter by the second. Slowly, I hugged Luffy back and laid my head on his shoulder. "It sucks, Nami," Luffy cried, "All I want is a way to find a way out of this stupid shit. Why can't I just be with you-" Quickly, I pulled away from Luffy and gave him a surprised look. His face had been even redder than before. He looked away from me and started fidgeting with his fingers. "Uhm, I was going to say, why can't I just be with, you know, someone else that I actually like."

"...Let's go to the store," I mumbled, getting up from the couch, "Uh, I'll go to the bathroom first, though." Tears had started filling up my eyes. I ran to the bathroom as quickly as I could and slammed the door behind me.

Dammit! Why did this have to happen? Why did I have to go back to Oliver and why did Luffy have to get engaged to that bitch of a woman? I could easily break up with Oliver, but that won't make it easy for me to finally be with Luffy. Now it just seems like I'm using Oliver because I'm bored. I should end things with him, shouldn't I? 

Tears ran down my face as I laid my head back on the wall and slowly scooted down until I'd been in a sitting position with my knees up against my chest. It took everything I had in me not to let out a huge sob. 

After a while, I finally calmed myself down and walked out back into the living room, where Luffy had been crying as he looked down at his lap. "Luffy?" I said. Luffy looked up at me and wiped away his tears and nose with his arm then smiled. 

"Nami!" he said, "Finally! You're back. You took forever in there. You alright?"

I nodded my head then grabbed my purse off of the coffee table. "Well, let's go." Luffy nodded his head in comprehension, then both he and I left to go to the store.

When we had arrived, it had been extremely busy. There must've been a huge sale or something. 

Both Luffy and I had stayed silent for most of the time. It had been extremely awkward, and for no reason at all. Although, I had bought a couple of cute shirts and jeans, and even bought some chocolate and treats that I could eat this week. I've been craving the taste of chocolate lately, actually. 

When Luffy and I had been ready to check out, we actually bumped into Robin and Zoro. 

"Well hey there," Robin greeted, "It's nice seeing you two here, fufufu."

"Zoro!" Luffy laughed, going in to give Zoro a hug. Zoro tried pulling away from the hug, but Luffy had probably hugged him too tightly.

"Yeah yeah, nice to see you too, I guess," Zoro said, "Now get the hell off of me, you idiot!" Luffy laughed then let go of Zoro. 

"So, you've been with this dumbass all day, huh?" I asked Robin.

Robin nodded her head and smiled. "Yup. Sorry I didn't inform you about that, Nami."

"No worries," I said, "When will you be heading back home?"

Robin shrugged. "Maybe later?" she said, in a questioning tone, "I'm not sure. Sorry if I end up staying the night with Zoro again, though."

"It's fine." I then smiled and took my bags. "We're going to go back home. I'll see you two later. Actually, Luffy. Go get into my car. I need to talk to Robin for a second." Luffy nodded his head then walked away. He probably hadn't known where my car was, but I'll let him find it. 

Robin then smirked at me and pulled me aside, away from Zoro. "So, you two have been hanging out a lot recently, fufufu."

"We're just friends," I sighed, "As much as I hate to admit it. That's not the point. It's just... I don't even believe that I actually like Oliver, Robin. It's all just in my head. I don't know if I'm just bored or what the hell it is."

"Does this mean you're going to end things?" Robin asked, "And, I told you, so, Nami."

I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Yes, I know you did, and, I think so. Next week I promise I will. Or, maybe the next week after that. God, I don't know. I don't want to hurt him, Robin."

"He'll understand, I'm sure of it," Robin said as she placed her hand on my shoulder, "It may take him time to recover, but he loves you very much, and just wants you to be happy, Nami."

"Yeah," I sighed, "Well, I guess I'm going to head out now. I'll see you later." Robin smiled and nodded her head, then I walked away and exited the store with my bags, and got into my car.

"Finally," Luffy complained, "It took you forever. Are we leaving now?"

I nodded my head and laid back in my seat. "Yeah, we are."

When we finally arrived back home, Luffy sat down on the couch and turned on the tv. I made some popcorn for the both of us, since we both had been pretty hungry. I got myself a blanket and got comfortable while Luffy stared at the tv. 

"So, are you just going to sit here and watch tv?" I asked, "That kind of defeats the whole purpose of coming over here and hanging out, you know that, right?"

"Sure?" Luffy said in a questionable tone, "Oh, thanks for the popcorn!" Luffy took his hand and grabbed a hand full of popcorn out of the bucket that had been sitting in my lap. He shoved it into his mouth then looked back up at the tv. 

This day had been going by way slower than I had wanted it to be.  I decided to take a nap, hopefully to make the day go by faster. And I had been pretty exhausted. 

three hours later

"Nami?" 

I slowly opened my eyes to see Luffy looking up at me, upside down, with a worried look on his face. I rubbed my eyes and slowly sat up as Luffy moved away from me. "What is it, Luffy?" I asked.

"Are you alright?" Luffy asked me. 

"Yeah, of course," I yawned, "How come?"

Luffy sat down next to me and said, "You kept yelling my name. And you were crying." Now that he mentions it, my face had felt like I had been crying. My eyes had been all crusty, and when I wiped my eyes, they had been more watery than usual.

"Oh," I said, "Yeah, um, I'm alright. I don't really remember why that happened. Maybe a dream?"

"Oh, okay!" Luffy laughed, "By the way, the internet is down. I've been sitting here for such a long time now literally doing nothing. I tried to fall asleep but I was thinking too much and I wasn't that tired. Oh, is it okay that I ate some of your ramen? I made some for myself earlier. You should be proud of me because I actually did it right! Awesome, right?"

"Mm-hm." What had I been dreaming about to cry? Dammit, and why was it about Luffy? The last thing I need is for him to show up in my dreams. And since when the hell did I sleep talk?!

"So, uh, I think I'll go home," Luffy said, after a while, "I'm pretty damn bored."

"Oh, uh, okay," I said, "I'll walk you outside." Luffy nodded his head and both he and I walked towards the door. I opened the door and he started walking away as I watched him. As he got halfway to his car, Luffy turned around and smiled. "What?" I asked. Luffy laughed then ran up to me and stood right in front of me. He became super close to me, to the point where our noses were almost touching. "W-What is it?" Did I relaly just stutter?

Luffy then pulled me close to him and crashed his lips into mine, unepxectingly. He then took his lips away from mine and smiled. "I've been wanting to do this ever since I came back," he laughed. I knew how bad this was. It was terrible, actually. I had a boyfriend. He had a fiance. 

"Me too," I said. I then placed my hands on the back of Luffy's next and pulled him close to me and kissed his lips once again. This is terrible. What am I doing? 

I didn't want to let go of him. I wanted to stay like this. I wanted to go back to high school when things were perfect with us. Dammit. Dammit. Dammit. 

Slowly, I pulled away from Luffy and sighed. "God, what am I doing," I muttered under my breath. "Luffy, this isn't right, is it?"

"Just forget about everything right now," Luffy said, "Please." Luffy lifted my chin up with his hand so I had been looking directly into his eyes. 

I just rolled my eyes as I laughed and kissed him once again and pulled him into my house. I didn't know if he was planning to do this, or if it just happened at the last minute. 

God, what am I doing?!
