We Build Then We Break
Chapter Three-The End

Nami couldn't believe she let the swordsman see her in such a state. She felt so weak.

She could tell from Zoro's tone that he was annoyed with her. Could she blame him?

Nami always felt like a burden to Zoro. He was always saving her when she got into trouble. Nami was supposed to be a pirate. She was supposed to be strong and independent and not relying on the swordsman every time things got too dangerous. He must think she is really pathetic.

The navigator felt so powerless around Zoro. It really wasn't like her to be so hopeless but she felt like he was breaking down the walls she had built up over the years without even realizing it.

Zoro has called her a 'demon' and a 'witch' in the past and Nami would always pretend it didn't bother her but it did. There was always a nagging feeling was that what he really thought of her? That all she cared about was money?

He was wrong.

The crew meant everything to Nami even if she hasn't admitted it out loud, she would give up all her treasure for them. They were her family and family wasn't something you could buy with all the money in the world.

The swordsman hesitated before he knocked on the door of the navigator's room. This was a conversation he wasn't looking forward to, but it had to be done. He had to put his feelings aside for the sake of the crew.

Zoro took a deep breath and knocked on the door. When he didn't hear a response Zoro proceed to opened to door slowly. He had to talk to Nami now, since he was sure he wouldn't have the courage to do it tomorrow.

"Nami?" Zoro saw Nami's body tense on the bed.

"Go away!" Zoro wanted to kick himself. He hated himself for being the cause of Nami's tears.

Zoro awkwardly entered the room and closed the door behind him. "Look we need to talk..." Zoro scratched the back of his head. Seeing that Nami wasn't going to say anything he continued. "I know what's going on."

Nami froze at his words. He knew how she felt about him. The navigator couldn't believe he found out. She was sure he was an idiot and dense to these types of things. Oh how Nami wanted the ground just to swallow her up at that moment. How could he know?

"I know, it's stupid."

When Nami didn't think it couldn't get any worse it did. That really hit a nerve with Nami and she couldn't help but march over to the swordsman. "So, my feelings are stupid?" She knew he would never return her feelings but that was just cruel.

Zoro mentally cursed."T-that's not what I meant." Zoro couldn't believe that he just made things worse. All he wanted was to tell her that things didn't have to be so weird between the two of them and hoped they could be civil with each other. The problem was Zoro didn't know how to say that to her out loud "We just need to sort this out."

Nami already felt embarrassed enough and Zoro, ZORO wanted to talk it out. Deep down she knew he was right though. Nami hadn't been able to navigate properly lately because she hadn't been able to concentrate.

"I'm sorry."

Zoro didn't understand why she was apologizing. If anyone should be sorry, it should be him. He was that caused her pain. "No, it's my fault."

Nami never would have guessed that Zoro was so full of himself. Did he think no women could possibly resist him. Nami pushed Zoro away. She didn't want to talk to him. Nami wanted to refuse that he was the guy she fell in love with "Just go away, you're making this harder." Nami was determined to keep the tears that were threatening to fall in.

Zoro grabbed her arm. "Look just please listen, I am sorry for causing you to feel like you need to avoid me." Zoro couldn't help himself. He always believed you shouldn't live with regrets. "I'm sorry...I just need to do this once." He cupped her cheeks and kissed her before he lost the little courage he had left.

It took Nami a few seconds to register what was going on but when she did she felt like her heart was breaking. How could he do that? Once Nami got over the shock, she pushed him away with all her strength. "How dare you!" Nami was sure her face was scarlet her at that moment but she didn't care. She proceeded to repeatedly hit his chest. "You know I love you and you do that. You cruel man!" Nami couldn't stop the tears from falling any longer.

The swordsman caught her fists before they could hit him again. "You love me?" Zoro was sure he didn't hear her right.

Nami tried to get out of his grasp but failed. "Why are you doing this to me?" Nami couldn't believe he wanted her to say it again. All she wanted to know was crawl under her covers and never come out.

Zoro warps his arms around Nami waist. "Dammit women, I thought you hated me! I love you too."

"W-what?" Nami stuttered. He loved her and thought she hated him? Their conversation then started to made sense to the navigator but still couldn't believe she even heard him right.

"HE SAID HE LOVED YOU!" They heard their captain yell from behind the door.

The two jumped away from each other, hint of blush on each others cheeks and looked towards to door.

"You ruined the moment stupid captain."

"Oww Sanji that hurt!"

"Don't mind him Nami-swan."
