Who: Luffy & Nami
Where: The ship
When: Recently?
Rated N for...nonsense.
Nami: *is sitting at her desk, working on her latest map and hoping to have a nice, quite afternoon to do so* *is being so productive*
Luffy: *is bored and hungry* *spies Nami and grins as he sneaks up behind her, then thinks to himself before pulling up a chair and sitting next to her* *...staring*
Nami: *looks up at Luffy for a moment before going right back to work*
Luffy: *rests his elbow at the edge of her desk* *picks his nose with his other hand*
Nami: ... *doing her best to ignore Luffy as she finished up the coast line and begins elevation points on her pretty map*
Luffy: *leans in a little to look at what she's doing, making a small sound of surprise*
Nami: *quirks an eyebrow at his sudden interest* ...what are you doing?
Luffy: *blinks blankly at her* Watching.
Nami: *furrows her brow* Why? It's just a map.
Luffy: *smiles widely* But you make the best maps. Hey, do you have any food?
Nami: *ego boost!* Heh, I do, don't I? *admires map for a moment* Bookshelf, second row, third book on the right...
Luffy: ...Bookshelf? But I don't want to read. I want to eeeeeeeeeeeeeeat.
Nami: *is already drawing again* Just open the book, Luffy. You'll see.
Luffy: *goes over to bookshelf, muttering "second row, third book...second row....third book" before reaching for it and plucking it out* Is it a cookbook? You should give it to Sanji. *opens the front cover, his eyes practically GLIMMERING* FOOD! ...You don't have any meat anywhere, do you?
Nami: No meat. Just snacks. *gabs a different pen and continues with her mapping* And don't bother trying to memorize where I hid it because it will be in a different place tomorrow.
Luffy: *stars chowing down on a few things, half of it hanging out of his mouth while he looks over Nami's shoulder* Theesh are yummfhy.
Nami: Don't talk with your mouth full.
Luffy: Shorry. *swallows* *points* What's that?
Nami: *swats his dirty, food-y hand away from her clean map* It's the island we visited the other day. With the blue penguins.
Luffy: I don't see any penguins on it.
Nami: *makes a very small noise of irritation* It's a map of the island. Not the penguins.
Luffy: *is silent for a few seconds* Will you draw me a penguin?
Nami: *eye twitch* I'm a little busy right now...
Nami: Why don't you go bother someone else?
Luffy: Because Zoro can't draw. *munches on some more food*
Nami: Sanji-kun?
Luffy: Sanji already kicked me out of the kitchen. *pouts a little*
Nami: *rolls her eyes* I should have known as much. Usopp? Chopper? Robin?
Luffy: I don't like the way they draw. *sits back in the other chair, still eating and staring at Nami attentively*
Nami: Well, I'm drawing my map now so you'll just have to WAIT. *huffs and goes back to her work with intentions to ignore Luffy completely until her map is finished or he goes away*
Luffy: *taps his leg against Nami's chair* *watches her draw* *looks at the ceiling* How long do I have to wait?
Nami: *feels the tapping amplify as her annoyance grows* Until I'm finished with it....
Luffy: *keeps tapping* How long is that?
Nami: *feels her pen strain under the force of her grip* Too long if you keep bugging me.
Luffy: ..........I'm helping. *picks up pen and starts doodling on his own hand* Look, I drew an island!
Nami: *looks at his island with a critical eye* That's pitiful.
Luffy: What's wrong with it? *tilts head to the side to get a better look*
Nami: It's hardly an island. It's more like a.... *tilts head also* ...blob.
Luffy: Hmm... *draws a small bear and what he thinks is a tree* Better now?
Nami: *laughs* You call that art? *holds out her hand* Give it here...
Luffy: I like my bear! *gives her his hand regardless, frowning just a little* I should have given him a mustache.
Nami: *grabs her pen and works her MAGIC~* *gives his little 'island' a makeover with palm trees, a beach and a volcano with smoke billowing up his rubber wrist* *gives the bear a top hat and a monocle* Haha, how do you like that?
Luffy: HAHAHAHAHAHHAH! Wow... *looks at Nami* Can we go here?
Nami: *sits back in her chair rather pleased with herself and crosses her legs* I don't know if it exists.
Luffy: *admires his hand, making appreciative noises* ...Can you draw a little penguin, too? Bob the penguin.
Nami: Hmm... *sighs* *is never going to get her map finished now* Fine. Where do you want him?
Luffy: *points to his knuckle* Here. *holds his hand forward and gets a glazed over look*
Nami: *takes his hand and begins drawing Bob the Penguin* *Gives him a lei and coconut drink*
Luffy: *hums a little* When you draw on my hand, it puts me to sleep a little bit. *eyes close half-way as if to illustrate his point, getting that scratched-behind-the-ears look dogs sometimes get*
Nami: *thinks that maybe she should have been a tattoo artist instead* *quirks an eyebrow* Puts you to sleep? ...why?
Luffy: *shrugs* I don't know, it feels soft.
Nami: *looks at the point of her pen* The pen is soft?
Luffy: I guess so. But you also write soft. *looks at penguin* What's that thing on his neck?
Nami: *smiles for a moment before looking down at the penguin* That's a lei. It's a garland of flowers that is used in some cultures to represent affection.
Luffy: What if the person is allergic?
Nami: Then I guess they don't get one.
Luffy: How can they tell if people don't like them or if they're not getting flowers because they're allergic? *thinks a second* Are you allergic?
Nami: *thinks* Well, they offer them to everyone and if you're allergic you just, refuse? I don't know. *blinks* No. I'm not.
Luffy: They should hand out free meat instead. Everyone loves meat!
Nami: *sighs and sits back again* Only you and possibly Sanji-kun would consider a ring of meat a sign of affection.
Luffy: *laughs happily* Well, if you didn't want it, I'd eat your portion!
Nami: *quirks an eyebrow and snatches her now very empty book to put it away* Ha. You could have it.
Luffy: *blinks at the space that the now-missing book was just occupying a second ago* ...If you really wanted your own meat, I'd let you have it. Besides, I can always steal Usopp's instead!
Nami: *pushes the book into the empty slot on the shelf* You're going to turn into a piece of meat if you keep eating it the way you do.
Luffy: That way I could eat myself! *frowns* But then I couldn't be the pirate king. Because I'd be inside my own stomach. And that would be...weird.
Nami: *gives him a small knock on the head as she returns to her seat* Stop thinking such weird things.
Luffy: Why? It's kind of funny! *pokes stomach* I don't think I'd fit in here, though. Unless I really squished myself in...
Nami: You have a rubber stomach and you think you wouldn't fit?
Luffy: Do you think I would? *opens mouth and stretches neck* Maybe I should try!
Nami: You and the rest of the cre-- *throws out a fist in fear he might actually try* STOP THAT!
Luffy: Huh? *looks at her* But I won't know unless I try! Don't worry, I won't really eat myself.
Nami: Well DON'T! It's disgusting and isn't worth choking yourself for!
Luffy: *un-stretches his neck, returning to normal size and rubbing at the back of his neck* I forgot I might choke myself. *laughs*
Nami: It's not funny! *folds arms* I swear if it weren't for me you would have died of something stupid like that a long time ago.
Luffy: How do you die of something smart?
Nami: You don't! Which is exactly the point!
Luffy: Does that mean you're never going to die?
Nami: Not of anything stupid like trying to eat myself anyway... >.>
Luffy: I don't think you could do it. You don't stretch. *pinches stomach and holds it out before letting it snap back into place* See?
Nami: *reaches out and pulls his cheeks in annoyance* You know what I mean...
Luffy: That shtill hurtsh when you do it, Namiiiiiiiiii. *glares a little*
Nami: It's supposed to! *matches glare*
Luffy: But what if my facshe getsh shtuck thish way?
Nami: It's what you get for being an idiot. *gives them one good yank before letting them go*
Luffy: *rubs at his cheek* You pinch too hard.
Nami: Don't give me reasons to pinch and I won't! *huffs and turns back to her map once more*
Luffy: I WAS ONLY TRYING TO EAT MYSELF! *feels completely justified as he walks over and pinches her cheek* ... *lets go* It's not as fun when you're not made out of rubber.
Nami: ...!!! *flails and whacks at his hand* LUFFY! *rubs her now very red cheek*
Luffy: *leans down and looks at her very seriously* You're really violent, Nami. *pokes her cheek* Wow, it got really red! HAHHAHHAHAAH.
Nami: *RAZOR TEETH* WELLWHATDOYOUEXPECTWHENYOUPINCHMYCHEEKLIKETHAT?!?!?! *grits her teeth at his poking and rears back her fist* *aims for his stupid rubber FACE*
Luffy: ...Uh-oh. *leans down to look at her map, semi-oblivious of the first* I think you smudged it.
Nami: *stops mid-punch* ...what? *looks down at her map in horror* ...aww no. *flops back into her chair*
Luffy: *looks at her strangely* Can't you just draw a new one?
Nami: *shoots him an ugly look* I shouldn't HAVE to draw a new one....
Luffy: *smiles widely* It'll be good practice! *stomach rumbles* Do you have anymore food?
Nami: I don't NEED practice. What I NEED is to finish this map so I don't have to draw it again. *holds up her map to make sure it really can't be spared* You ate it all!
Luffy: *begins rifling through her books, trying to find another hiding spot* *makes a face as he flips through one of the books* Do you really read all these?
Nami: *carefully wiping at the smudge confident that Luffy won't find anymore hiding places* Yes.
Luffy: Hmm. They look boring. *shoves the book back and grabs another one* They don't even have any pictures. *shoves that book back and stands up, looking over Nami's shoulder kind of stalker-like but doesn't say anything*
Nami: You've seen all my books with pictures anyway... *can feel Luffy looking and turns around annoyed*
Luffy: *leans in until his forehead bumps against Nami's* Your eyes look red from up close.
Nami: o.O *leans back until he catches up to her* *gives a huff as they bump* They're brown...
Luffy: Hahaaha, but they look red! Are they contacts?
Nami: Where am I gonna get contacts on the Grand Line?!
Luffy: They could be implants.
Nami: What? My eyes aren't implants. *heaves a small sigh* They're probably just red from staring at that map for so long.
Luffy: Maybe you're going cross-eyed. You should take a nap!
Nami: *leans back in her chair and rubs her eyes* I have to finish it. I could have been done with it by now... *glares from behind her fingers*
Luffy: Maybe you shouldn't take so many naps in the day. ...Nami? *gets a confused look on his face at the lack of immediate reaction* ARE YOU ASLEEP RIGHT NOW?
Nami: I'm not Zor-- *gets an idea* *perks suddenly* Luffy.
Luffy: ...What?
Nami: *grabs his wrist* Let me borrow your finger for a second!
Luffy: *looks a little concerned* Are you going to break it off?
Nami: Not of you don't cooperate. *stretches his hand back to her desk and gently places one of his rubber fingers on the offending smudge* Have you ever heard of rubber erasing ink?
Luffy: ...No. Does it make you invisible if you use it? *perks up a little* THAT'D BE SOO COOL! You could steal all the food you want and no one would ever know! *is drooling a little now*
Nami: When I bought this ink, the man said it was the type that could be erased if I made a mistake. I didn't think twice about it because I hardly ever do but it just might work. *gently rubs his fingertip against the smudge*
Luffy: ...That feels weird. *starts walking closer because he wants to see just WHAT his appendages are being used for*
Nami: *eyes light it up as it slowly but surely starts to disappear* Ah...it's working!
Luffy: WOW. I make a good eraser! *laughs and stops abruptly* It feels a little warm, though.
Nami: *still erasing* What does?
Luffy: What you're doing. It burns a little bit. *cocks head to the side* Are you trying to set me on fire?
Nami: What? No. It's just the friction. I'm almost done so please bare with it.
Luffy: ...Okay. *looks at his fingers as they rub out the smudge* Hey, do you think if I tried to rub off Sanji's eyebrow, it'd disappear?
Nami: I think you'd get kicked off the ship before you had a chance. *finishes up and looks at her nice CLEAN map* Much better.
Luffy: *takes his hand back and looks at his finger, then wipes the residual smudged ink on Nami's arm* Much, MUCH better.
Nami: What are yo-- STOP THAT!
Luffy: I'm going to go see if Zoro's awake. *grins* Hey Nami, if you finish early, can you draw me something? *holds up his hand with the fake island* Like this! But with more animals. And a barbecue.
Nami: *fights him off* Yes yes just go so I can finish this in PEACE! *looks at the little island on his hand and sighs* ...Fine. But only because the smudge disappeared.
Luffy: *is already moving towards the door* If you need anything else rubbed, let me know! I'm going to go put ice down Zoro's shirt.
Nami: *shakes her head as she watches him leave and goes back to her desk* *picks up her pen to finish her map, drawing one curve before stopping and grabbing another piece of paper* Idiot. *begins to draw Luffy's island instead*
