i saw a conversation on twitter about this scene in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (when Will proposes to Elizabeth during a battle) and shippers imagining Zoro doing the same with Nami 🧡 so, here my zonami take, on the Sunny, 10 years alter, they are in a relationship for a while, and right in the middle of an epic battle with the Marine, Zoro proposes :)

This is one day late. Today’s theme is different but I’ll still push it.

Theme: #17 -  Morning After Christmas

Summary: All that eventually led them here. The morning after Christmas—all tangled up in each other and wrapped in the coziest blankets…

Soft.

So soft.

He can hardly remember a time when he woke up nuzzled against something so soft, so comforting…

…and so warm.

Zoro doesn’t really care much about the comforts of life. He rarely lets unnecessary whims or luxuries bother him and he rarely indulges in them.

Well except of course when it’s sleep and sake. Those are the only two things he lets himself enjoy without any restrictions.

He lived simply. He survived with whatever is on hand without any complaint or fuss. As long as there is food to eat, water to drink, a shade to rest and sleep (doesn’t matter if it is inside an abandoned shelter or a tree in the midst of the forest); he is all good.

But this feeling that greeted him the moment he woke up was too pleasant to pass. It was new and not something he is used to. Zoro had woken up with a lot of the not-so-nice things greeting him—an end of a sword or knife pointed at his throat, the hard, cold ground, a growling, wild animal looking for food, a punch in head, the cold sea water, Luffy’s mouth about to take a chomp of him and his pillow while dreaming of meat (and he wasn’t the only one in the boy’s room to experience this, it’s a constant problem)…

…but never this. Never surrounded by this kind of warmth and comfort and softness he had never known before. The kind that makes you never want to pull away. Ever.

Just this once he wanted to let himself bask in it. Revel in it. The way he indulges himself with sleep and alcohol—no restrictions

He took a deep breath and buried his face closer to it. To the warmth, the softness that smelled slightly of…

Tangerines.

Like Nami’s tangerines.

With that he cracked his eye open, all his senses now wide awake.

His gaze was instantly fixed on the sight of smooth skin, tanned slightly from sailing under sun. There are wisps of curling orange hair resting against the slender curve of the neck and  framing a beautiful, sleeping face.

Nami took a deep breath in her sleep, her bare shoulder slowly rising and falling at the action. Zoro watched in fascination as her lips pursed slightly, her brows furrowing before she nestled closer to him. Her chin settled against the top of his head and he realized what that softness he was feeling was.

He was actually pressed against her, his face settled comfortably against her generous breasts.

His initial reaction was to jerk back the moment it dawned unto him that he was eye level with those beautiful, naked mounds and that enticing cleavage. But stopped short when he realized that he can’t move… he and Nami were tangled up with each other. Their arms and legs entwined in a way that they slept locked in each other’s embrace.

Well… their Christmas night had been crazy fun. Why else would they end up wrapped in each other this morning?

Not that he’s complaining. They’ve been doing this exasperating back and forth with each other for so long it was bound to blow up anytime soon. Besides he couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment their petty and perpetual squabbling turned into a sort of their own secret language and a way to show their affection for each other that was actually there—quietly sitting and patiently waiting to rear its head out in the least expected moment.   

But he had known (and so did Nami) that there was a certain shift in their bickering which initially were tinge with insults that were meant to pull the other down a peg or two or put them in their own places. It had something in it that wasn’t there before. How every time it ended, they’d part ways just like before, huffing at each other only this time they would both desperately try to hide a smirk and a smile as they walk away.

How Zoro was now always looking forward to it and would sometimes deliberately try to rile the navigator up and how Nami did the same, purposely coming up the crow’s nest while he trains or naps to start a row with him.

It never ended with either one of them annoyed with each other. And that was new and surprising and to be honest kind of exhilirating.

He also started being more tolerant of her, not getting easily irritated with her complaints or even if she was waking him up with her fist. The same goes for her, she doesn’t make too much fuss when he gets lost or when he says or do something that she deemed stupid.   

And he realized while all this is happening, they also started to move closer to each other. Literally. Like they were drawn to each other like magnets. They started sitting beside each other more often. Or standing almost near each other. But always at arm’s length… far enough yet still close enough.

Three weeks into Christmas, the distance they carefully kept between them while they try to make sense on what they should do totally disappeared.

And the touching started.

Light and fleeting at first. A tap on the shoulder, a nudge on the arm, the back of their hands brushing against each other…

Zoro stood much closer to her now, near enough to breathe in the scent of tangerines from her hair. And Nami started crowding on his personal space, leaning on to him with a cheeky smile on her face especially when she needs to pass someone something or get something from someone, almost as if she was teasing him.

On one random island where they docked for the day, she had ‘accidentally’ pulled at his fingers in an attempt to stop him from turning around a random corner and disappearing on them because he definitely will get lost the moment she lose sight of him.

And Nami never let go.

Her dainty hand was wrapped around three of his fingers as she tugged him all over the marketplace to buy some necessities for their stock. He followed her with a lot of grumbling and expletives all at the same time marvelling at the size difference of their hands.

How soft hers was. How coarse his is.

How it just feels right.

Before the sun set that day, his hand was intertwined with hers. And for reasons so much more than because he’ll wander off and will get lost.

And soon after they would find their hands interlaced together at random times of the day. Always surreptitiously, never in front of the others. Only when they are sure that they are only ones in the room.

She’d casually lean her head on his shoulder while they were up in the crow’s nest on their night shifts. His hand would rest the small of her back as they explore the island where they just docked just by themselves, far from the crew.

And when they are alone in the crow’s nest again before the change of watch, that same hand would wound itself around her waist so he can pull her closer to him for a kiss.

All that eventually led them here. The morning after Christmas—all tangled up in each other and wrapped in the coziest blankets Nami had brought last night after their Christmas celebration along with a bottle of sake to share.

“Mmmm…” Nami suddenly hummed as she started to stir awake, her body moving languidly to stretch. She opened her eyes and chocolate brown orbs peered down at him in wonder, blinking twice before a warm smile spread on her face.

“You awake already?” She murmured softly, her voice still laced with sleep. “It’s not even the break of the day.”

Zoro smirked. He rubbed a hand against her exposed arm noticing how the skin on it prickled with the cold air of dawn. Luckily they were nowhere near a winter island right now or they’d both be freezing by now from falling asleep with just the blankets on them.

“These blankets are crazy soft,” Nami was mumbling, rubbing her feet against the material. “It feels so good.”

“Yeah,” Zoro agreed, as he continued to warm her arm.

She just let out a soft purring sound of contentment at his ministration before her eyes drifted close again. “Sleep with me some more Zoro.” she requested.

The swordsman chuckled. He’d never deny her that.

He adjusted their position so Nami was now the one whose eye level with his chest, her head resting on the crook of his arm. He pulled her close and kissed her forehead as he covered them with one of the blankets so they both could drift off back to sleep.

The soft giggle she let out sent a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

Zoro rarely lets himself indulge in this kind of comfort.

But maybe this morning after Christmas he might finally start to.

Christmas Date

Was it a natural talent?   Zoro glanced at Nami gracefully skating under the starry sky. Her cheeks were a cute shade of pink, and her fluffy white hooded jacket made her look like a snow angel.   What am I thinking all of a sudden?!   He blushed and looked away, but not for long since Nami said happily, “Zoro-kun, come here! They’re selling cups of hot cocoa!”   After taking a deep breath to calm himself, Zoro looked up and nodded at her. Then, he carefully skated towards her direction.   Too slow. I need to train more.   He didn’t want Sanji to make fun of him because he couldn’t skate properly; after Nami asking him out, their perverted classmate had started to pick on him even more than usual—which was saying something.   Zoro sighed. Love and rival stuff were complicated. When he looked at Nami’s smile, though, he thought it was worth it.   “You’re making progress,” Nami told him with a grin when he finally reached the ice rink bar.   Zoro smiled at her even if he knew she had told him that only to make him feel better. Then, he ordered two cups of hot cocoa: a matcha one for himself and an orange one for Nami.   “Thank you!” Nami took the bright-coloured cup and sipped her drink carefully.   “Is it good?”   “It’s delicious!”   This time around, she was too close for Zoro to hope she wouldn’t notice him blushing.   It’s now or never.   Zoro leaned down and kissed her. “You’re right. It’s delicious.”   At least, now he wasn’t the only one with a face as red as a tomato

Flash fiction inspired by the “snow angel”/“hot cocoa”/“ice skating”/“starry night"prompts of the ZoNami Holiday event hosted by @zonamievents. The setting of this one shot is the Hungry Days commercials AU scenario!  ^^

spots to kiss # 7

Nami stretched her body languidly… the toes of her feet rubbing soothingly against her soft bed as she basked in her slow awakening.

It was still the wee hours of the morning and the ship was ever so silent. Her roommate still hasn’t returned—not that Robin has any plans on sleeping after holing herself up in the library to dive into the history books she got in town earlier.

Nami didn’t mind. After all, with Robin pre-occupied, she can easily roped her other unofficial roommate into spending the night in her room… and on her bed.

She lazily turned to her left. Beside her Zoro stirred but did not awaken.

Her lips curled into a smile. He was sleeping oh-so-peacefully… breathing evenly sans the snoring.

Her smile widened some more. It actually came as a surprise (and she had just recently realized it), that regardless of how thunderous his snores were whenever he was dozing off in some random area of the ship, he rarely—well, almost never—done so whenever she was snuggled against him.

And she absolutely finds that endearing.

She reached out to brush her thumb against his cheek and rolled her eyes when his brows furrowed slightly. Even unconscious he seemed to find the gesture to sweet for his own taste.

Still he did not wake up; instead he just burrowed his face deeper into her pillow. Yet his arm that was draped lightly around her waist tightened and he unconsciously pulled her closer to him.

The corners of her lips twitched at that.

He looks cute whenever he’s like this. A far cry from the always scowling, notorious pirate swordsman that he was known to be.

She brushed her thumb against his cheek again, deliberately stopping just where the scar that marred his face and forever stole half of his sight ended.

She could never gaze at that steely, gray eye anymore. Nor can it stare back at her whether in defiance or irritation or with that rarely seen fondness reserve only for her.

Nami leaned closer, softly planting a kiss on the scarred eye, deliberately making it linger as if that gesture would give back what was lost.

She let her lips grazed the skin right under it before giving him another kiss.

A muffled groan came from the green-haired man. “Nami…” Zoro mumbled sleepily, with his eye still closed. Yet his hand began to stroke the small of her back.

“Mmm… just go back to sleep.” She whispered as he pulled her much closer to him this time before falling back to sleep almost instantly.

Nami snuggled against him contentedly, before letting sleep pull her as well, savoring the feeling of being safely tucked in her swordsman’s arms.

ZoNami Fan Fic: Lost and Found

This one is for chersheykisses

Name: Lost and Found

Pairing: Zoro and Nami

Summary: Nami teaches Zoro something about drawing

* * * *

He had been looking at her the whole day.

Her ginger hair blowing with the wind, her warm eyes shining with satisfaction of her work, her hands moving on the paper knowing exactly what to do. Nami had spent the entire morning working on the map of water seven, the island they had just left behind.

She seemed beyond happy when she worked on the table, despite the ruckus everyone was making outside she was calm. Zoro rarely saw her like this. She was always snapping orders, charging duties, yelling at Luffy, using the persuasive tone with the cook and what not. But she rarely smiled like this. It was better to say she only smiled like this when she drew her maps - as if she was sharing a big secret with the paper and the ink. Sometimes, Zoro longed to know that secret. Like he would feel this weird urge in his stomach that made him want to ask her, talk to her about it.

He leaned back on the wall, his head resting on his hands, taking his time to look at her without interruptions. Everybody thought he was be sleeping inside but it was hard to sleep. He rarely got opportunities like these, when they would be alone. Nami didn’t know this, maybe she never will but Zoro loved watching her working. It made his heart beat faster and it made his insides twist and turn. Most of all, it made him happy.

“Okay! Now I need to label these!” she cried out, holding up her map.

Zoro yawned and got up, he stretched his arms, “Hmm, you’re already up Zoro?”

“Aren’t you done with this?” He asked and sat beside her, he thought she’ll tell him to go away and leave her alone instead she grinned.

“Almost!” She answered, Zoro smirked,

“I don’t think I’ll ever understand these things, I don’t really care about this technical stuff.” She glared, her grin had faded, “What? Why are you looking at me like that?” He demanded,

She reached over and grabbed a paper from her stack with a pencil, Zoro watched in half horror as she put it in front of him and forced the pencil in his hand.

“What are you doing?”

“Draw” She ordered, her face absolutely serious.

“Are you crazy or-”

“Draw, something, anything! Just draw, you can’t give it up without trying.” That worked on him in instant. Damn, she knew his weak points so well.

“Er okay” he scratched the back of his neck and held the pencil awkwardly in his hand, he gave her a helpless look, “a little direction?”

She was more than happy to comply, Nami grabbed his hand in hers and began tracing on the paper, it took Zoro by surprise. He had never touched her hand before, at least not like this. She didn’t notice that he sat frozen in his seat, eying their hands with intensity.

“I can’t believe it, how can you not know how to draw? You really are an idiot…” she kept rambling, but he wasn’t listening because he decided there was no use in worrying about his heart beat which was pounding in his ears. Instead he leaned back a little and stared at her smile as she explained some really complicated stuff about sketching.

It was a beautiful sight.
