With You By Ravenfan
This is my first doing this, so don't expect it to be that great. All comments welcome!
These past few days without you have been hard, but I feel closer every moment that you're gone. That first time we were together on the ship were amazing. I want to let you hold me one more time. That night was a long time ago, but it's still fresh in my mind like it just happened.
"Luffy, you idiot!"
"What'd I do, Nami?"
"Just give it back!" I couldn't help but yell at him. I had to keep my feelings away. His cute eyes just staring in wonder at me like a child had me fall for him harder every time I saw him. "I had my map right here and now it's gone! I was working on it!"
"I thought you were finished. I wanted to see what it was like."
"Wow, you actually thought for yourself? That's a first." Zoro says while waking up.
"Luffy, just give it back already! Never mind, I probably will forget what to do next..." I said with a frustrated sigh. "When did you wake up?" now pointing my attention to Zoro.
"When you started yelling. Who can sleep with all that noise?" Zoro smiles as he says this.
"You can." Luffy some how says something smart. I guess today he's thinking, which he only does once in a while...
I let a small giggle out as I heard Luffy and Zoro fighting. I was still thinking how to tell Luffy that I loved him. At least I got a break from all the stress.
"Namiii-saan!" Sanji broke through my train of thought.
"What is it, Sanji?" I knew that if i didn't answer, he would be annoying me all day.
"I want you to taste the dessert and see if it's good enough for you!" Sanji was a great cook, so I just had to say yes.
"Be there in a minute!"
"I'll be counting the seconds while I slowly die from your absence."
Sanji was sweet and was charming, but something kept dwelling in my mind. 'I just have to tell Luffy sometime, so why not know? I know he wouldn't mind, because he normally doesn't get mad or upset or anything. How am I going to tell him? If I don't let him know my true feelings for him, I'll burst! Probably having Sanji around isn't that bad...'
"Naamiiii-saaaaan, the cake is getting cold!" Sanji throws me off track while thinking of Luffy. 'I'm starting to like having Sanji around, even though he's really annoying me.'
"Hey Sanji, can I taste it?" Luffy just had to ask...
"No! If you taste it, we'll never get it back! Now just go-Nami-san! You came! I thought you would abandon me here!"
"I'll never abandon you." I was lying, but Sanji would never find out, right? "So, where's the dessert? Since you made it, it will be great!"
"Right there on the table. Luffy! That's for Nami! I told you that you couldn't have any!" Sanji always gets mad at Luffy. I wonder why?
"You never said anything to me!" Luffy was looking at Sanji with those innocent eyes again...
"Didn't you hear me?" Sanji yelled without considering how stupid Luffy is...
"Um..Sanji? Luffy doesn't have an IQ large enough to listen." I knew that wasn't true either, but my feelings felt like they were spilling out of me.
"That's true Nami-san."

'It's so clear with no clouds out. I wonder if Luffy will come up here tonight. It seems like the perfect time to tell him everything.'
"Nami, do you come up here often?"
My heart stopped when I heard that voice. I turned around to see who it was. I was relieved and terrified at the same time.
"Yeah. Every night. Luffy, there's something I-"
"Wait. I have to tell you something."
"But I need to-" He kept cutting my sentences short, not that I really minded, but I still needed to tell him this one thing.
"Nami, I...I, uh, love you." Luffy's face turned bright red and he seemed shy about this, which wasn't like him. He turned to walk away, but I wouldn't let him. Without thinking, I grabbed his arm and blurted out my secret.
"I love you to Luffy. I've been trying to tell you, just don't walk away from me. I can't stand it when I'm away from you when you don't know how I feel." I could feel my eyes burning with tears and a lump form in my throat. I couldn't hold back my tears, but I knew he wouldn't mind if I cried in front of him.
"Nami, you don't have to cry, cause I'm right here, with you. And you don't have to worry about me leaving you, because I'll always be with you no matter what." It scared me a little that Luffy could say something like that. I burst out completely letting myself cry in his arms, letting him comfort me.
Luffy took my chin in one of his hands and kissed me. I gave in to the kiss. He held me in his strong arms for a while after that.
"Luffy, don't ever leave me, please. I can't live with out you." I knew that I couldn't hold back any more feelings. We just stood there with each other for the rest of the night.

It's been three days without you, but it feels like an eternity has passed by. I still wait for you to come back to me, to hold me. You made a promise you would come back someday, but make that today.
"Nami, I came back for you. I couldn't stand it without you. I'm going to be with you forever."
