She could hear the incredulous tone of his voice in the very first word of his question, that signature greeting of his, “Oi, what are you doing?”
Nami withheld a sigh as she looked up into Zoro’s steely eyes, wrapping her arms around herself tighter, trying to fend off the chill in the air as she answered softly, “I’m just going for a walk through the snow.”
The silence that followed her response revealed what he thought of her answer: her desire to stroll around the Sunny’s lawn deck while it was blanketed in snow in the middle of the night was quite a weird way to spend her time.
It was instinctive for Nami to throw open her mouth and bark at him to just leave her alone - to go annoy anyone else but her while she was trying to enjoy some rare peace on this ship - however, anything she would have said was stomped out by the heavy crunch of a pair of boots in the snow as they jogged their way over to her.
“Hmph, guess there’s no storm warning tonight?” Was Zoro’s intuitive query as he joined her, even taking a step ahead of her on their now communal walk around the ship, smelling a little like booze but warming her heart more than any alcohol could have to have his company for such a silly little jaunt on a cold winter’s night.
Another year. Another opportunity. Another chance to write ZoNa stories and post One Piece shenanigans. I must say, in times when the world got crazier and crazier, tumblr made me held to sanity along with One Piece and my ship. Hahaha!
To all the awesome people here who religiously read my works, likes and reblogs whatever it is that I post... thank you! May you people never tire! Hope we have more fun this 2021. I still have pending works (because I'm a sh*tty procrastinator) and new plot bunnies to entertain. See yah!
I really misses reading your works. Hope I'm not late.
How about Zoro unconsciously calling Nami babe or baby? Like a slip of tongue or something? I can imagine his horrified expression. 🤣
He didn’t mean to do it. It wasn’t something Zoro even consciously thought of, but he was never one to think before he spoke anyway. Maybe it was a practice he should take up however, because he never meant to exclaim…
“BABY!”
“You should have a cute pet name for me by now.” Nami instructed with an emphasizing poke to the nose. Given her position on top of him as they laid in bed together, naked and relaxing in their after glow. At least, he was relaxing until she posed such a ridiculous demand of him.
Scoffing, Zoro closed his eyes in the hopes of blocking out her command that was disguised as a request. “No I shouldn’t.”
He felt her cheeks puff up in defiance against his chest. “You can’t think of calling me something cute after referring to me as ‘woman’ and ‘wench’ for so long?”
“That was years ago!” Zoro barked. Eyes flying open, he made the mistake of facing off against her - literally - and bearing witness to how adorable Nami could be when she wasn’t yelling or domineering or downright infuriating.
Never before had he been so easily swayed by her puppy dog eyes before, but when she was sulking, naked on top of him, just hoping he would change his mind…
“Tch, what the hell even is a pet name? Want me to call you Nami-swan—?”
“No,” she nearly smacked him in the nose when she lifted her hand to physically put an end to that sentence. “Never that.”
That was a relief, at the very least. “I’m not calling you a queen or anything.”
There was an oddly long pause as she slowly removed her hand from his face, tucking it under her chin while she squinted at him thoughtful. Eventually, she muttered a stubborn-sounding, “Alright, then what would you be willing to call me? I’m not gonna list every pet name in existence for you.”
Irked, Zoro grumbled, “But you’re the one making this an issue.”
“Hey, I could just say that you have to call me baby—“
“No,” it was his turn to cut her off. “Never that.”
“Why not?!” Was her shockingly animated reply. Flying up so that her breasts were no longer smooshed against his stomach, Nami leered down at him with utter disappointment and tempered rage.
“B-Because it’s weird! You’re a grown woman!” He didn’t mean to, but his eyes drifted to her chest as he made his point…
Nami definitely noticed, and was obviously not amused. Whipping herself off of the bed, she collected the nightgown she’d been wearing before the slept together and threw it on her shapely body to shield it from his gaze. Then, she snapped, “You’re going to regret this, Roronoa Zoro.”
“Really? My full name?” Groaned the disgruntled naked man left alone in her bed.
Nami reached the door and looked back at him over her shoulder, defiance etched into the lines around her big brown eyes. “Yeah, and don’t say my name until you figure out what pet name you’re going to call me first!”
He couldn’t help himself from saying it when she commanded him like that! Especially when Luffy was slingshotting her out of the Crow’s Nest the way he was. Zoro jumped into his feet in the hopes that he could race to the spot she’d land in. Of course he was sleeping under her tangerine grove when she was being sent flying towards the lawn deck!
Leaping over two railings and rolling out of the impact, Zoro threw out his arms and had only a second to inhale as deeply as possible before Nami crashed into the crooks of his arms. He’d hardly braced himself before she collided with his biceps but he managed to steady himself in his legs. He felt her entire body try to take in air as he looked her over before he noticed her arms raise up so she could clear the hair that had flown into her face.
“You alright?!” He hollered with a sliver of fright. “I’ll kick his ass, that idiot!”
“Zoro,” her panting made it hard to hear her.
“Yeah?” Exclaimed Zoro.
He expected to see her winded, or frightened, or perhaps even faint in his arms. But no, after she swiped her bangs off to the side of her face, she exuded a completely different emotion.
Absolute glee.
“…You called me baby.” Nami stated it so softly, it was almost as if she had forced him to do the very thing she was smiling about.
“I… You… It wasn’t—!
“Aw, you’ve got such a big crush on me, don’t you?” Rubbing salt into the wound of her words, she brought her hands to his cheeks and pinched them both.
“HEY! You made me do that!”
“I didn’t realize you needed to call out to me just to catch me. Wooow, is that the secret to all that hunky strength of yours?”
“Naaamiii-!”
She slapped his cheeks in a familiar fit of rage. Only she’d never yelled the following words at him before, “No! If you think you’re going to sleep with me and NOT call me something cute, you’re insane!”
“You should have told me that before then!”
“What, are you saying that you’re gonna stop having sex with me because I’m telling you to call me baby?!”
Ooh, she got him there. Gritting his teeth, it took all of his might to answer her honestly, “No.”
“Then say, ‘Okay, baby~”, just like that.”
“I’d rather die.” He fully admitted.
Nami snickered, “Just say it.”
“Nami,” his tone was filled with the hint of a warning. “No.”
“Say my pet name,” her voice dropped low, into that register she used when she was trying to seduce him. Having her in his arms at a moment like this was dangerous. Very dangerous. “And we can go have some make up sex right now.”
He didn’t even realize they were fighting…but that offer was really tempting.
Really, really, really tempting.
Refusing to be jerked around verbally any longer, Zoro decided to take matters into his own hands. Rising up, Nami squeaked as he spun around and tossed her over his shoulder. “LUFFY! GET THE HELL OUT OF THE CROW’S NEST!”
He heard some kind of cheer from above but Nami’s shrieking drowned it out as he reached the ladder. “What the hell are you doing!?”
“Taking you somewhere private so no one can hear your banshee screaming…baby.” If he was going to call her anything similar to a pet name, he’d do it how he wanted to, when he wanted to. She’d have to get used to his own personal brand of affection.
Oooh is this still going on? Uhm how about the morning after they first slept together?
((Saw this in the morning and I had to write something right away! Hope you enjoy~))
Nami felt very tingly when she woke up that morning, like her body was still basking in the euphoria from the night before. A smile drew up her lips as she began to stretch herself out on the floor of the Crow’s Nest.
There was an eagerness to open her eyes and see Zoro. She wanted to know what he looked like when she had been the reason he was tuckered out—
There was nothing but an empty space next to her, though.
A grunt from the opposite side of the circular room greeted her, “G’morning.”
There he was: doing push ups, instead of sharing their first morning after together.
‘Why am I not surprised that he’s not a cuddler?’
Nami groaned as she leaned her back against the bench seat behind her. “Why are you up right now?”
“I’m always up now.” Was he eloquent reply.
“Working out.”
“Yeah.”
“Why would you be doing some boring push ups when you can just workout with my body again?” Nami wondered in her sweetest voice, tossing the poor excuse for a bed sheet aside and exposing herself.
Much to her surprise, it didn’t take long for Zoro to answer her. His lone steely eye looked over her nude, tingly body - making her even tinglier! - before smirking and shoving himself upward off of the floor.
“All right, but my workouts can be rough.” He warned her.
‘Okay, so he’s not a cuddler,’ Nami acknowledged while opening her arms and legs wide to receive his body. ‘But I can make great use of this libido of his.’
