Sleep Where You Want

An anon requested the prompt “Accidentally falling asleep together” for Law x Nami. Pretty simple one, but I’m trying to feel like I’ve accomplished at least one thing. Still shaking off the post-vacation writer’s block.

Title: Sleep Where You Want Pairing: Trafalgar Law x Nami Genre: Romance/ AU Rating: K+ Word Count: 2550 Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece or the characters, they belong to Eiichiro Oda.

Everything hurt. Muscles she didn’t even know she had were cramped and her whole body felt like it had been set on fire. Her white tank and bikini were tattered and stained, scrapes showing through where the shirt was torn. Her shorts were one large grass stain while her exposed legs were bruised and cut. The scorching day only wore her down more, adding a fresh pink sunburn to her misery. Her sunscreen hadn’t been strong enough to withstand the sweat that came from the heat, as well as all the running she had to do that day.

It was supposed to be a fun day. She wasn’t supposed to be running for her life from a sadistic group of men who decided flag-football had to involve tackles. The referees were too scared of them to refuse, and of course, Luffy didn’t care enough to argue them on it.

Nami collapsed in the shade of a tree, sighing in relief as she gasped for breath. At least they won. Barely, but it was a victory none the less.

She watched Usopp fall to the ground under another tree beside hers. He was less bruised than she was, but he spent part of the game cowering beneath a bush until the other team found him and tackled him there.

Luffy, Brook, and Franky were full of energy, despite their bruises, eagerly celebrating the close win. Sanji was all smiles and promises of a good meal before their last game the next afternoon. He then offered to buy drinks for Nami and Robin before running off without listening to the guys shout their requests. Sanji wasn’t about to treat anyone but the women.

Zoro had Chopper on his back. The poor guy was too dizzy to stand on his own, but he had made a hell of a hard hit to cover Zoro, allowing them to score the extra point they needed to win after their last touchdown. Unfortunately, he was their group’s medic, so she would have to wait to have her injuries treated. She would tend to them herself, but now that she was comfortable on the ground, she wasn’t about to get up and search for the first aid kit.

“Tora-o!” Luffy shouted.

Nami perked up at the doctor’s name. Law was making his way through the clearing of trees from the open field his team had their own game against Drake’s team. He was in far better shape than she was, but she could see his friends limping along behind him, so they weren’t without their own share of bumps and bruises.

“Did you guys win?” Luffy asked.

“We did,” Law answered with a nod, his gaze falling to her. His eyes narrowed with concern. She tried to smile, but it only served to stretch the scrape on her chin. Her smile fell away with a wince and Law’s lips pursed in a tight frown. He turned for her without hesitation.

Luffy bounded after him excitedly. “We won, too. That means we’re up against each other in the finals. I won’t go easy on you.”

Law grunted and waved him off as he came to crouch in front of her, his eyes full of questions about the reason for her condition.

“Kid decided flag-football was boring and turned it into a tackle game,” she explained. Law hissed in annoyance as he took her leg to appraise a cut on her knee. “Luffy thought it was a great idea.”

“It was fun! And we won!” Luffy argued, unfazed when Law glowered at the young man over his shoulder. “You should have seen Nami play. She was amazing, too. She ran in two touchdowns herself.”

She also helped Zoro catch the last touchdown they made by flashing Kid’s team. They were too distracted to notice Zoro in the end-zone as they tripped over each other. Usopp and Chopper had covered Sanji’s eyes to keep him from seeing her topless while telling him which way to run so he could help knock over the distracted team. Only Killer had been paying enough attention to make an interception attempt, but Robin held him back. She was not about to tell Law about that, though.

“I was trying not to be killed by a pack of madmen,” Nami said with a sigh. “I just happened to have the ball. And I would have kept running if Robin hadn’t caught me before I could escape the field.”

“Since you’re playing our team next, I’m fine postponing the game an extra day,” Law said as he waved for his friend Bepo to bring their team’s first aid kit. “You need the rest.”

“I should be all right to play tomorrow. I know you and your team will go easy on me,” she said, winking at him.

His frown thinned when Shachi and Penguin shouted their promises that they wouldn’t hurt Nami in the next game. It wasn’t supposed to be tackle-football, anyway. As long as they kept to the original rules of the neighborhood league, then she should survive another game. And Law, no matter how competitive he could be, wouldn’t let his friends get too rough with his girlfriend. And his men wouldn’t dream of it, either, even if she wasn’t dating Law.

Law relented with a hum and set to work on cleaning and bandaging her scrapes. He would likely suggest postponing the game again in the morning, but if she felt well enough to play, she wasn’t going to back out. Luffy was too eager to win the tournament. He might be okay with a delay for her health, but he would still pester her the whole time to get better faster. And really, even though she was too sore to move, she knew by the morning she would be well enough to play.

While Law tended her injuries, Sanji returned with a bottle of lemonade for her and then got started on grilling a celebration meal. He initially argued that Law and his friends weren’t invited to join since they were the competition, but Luffy overruled him.

“We’re still friends,” Luffy said with a decisive nod. “But after we’re done eating, then we’re officially enemies.”

Law nodded in agreement as he placed a bandage over a scrape on her jaw. She rolled her eyes at how seriously they were taking the tournament. It was just a silly game. It wasn’t like there was prize money to make it worth the effort they were putting into it. There should have been a money prize, but Silvers Rayleigh was running the league with Shakky, and apparently he gambled away the prize money. Now they were just playing for a free meal and drinks at Shakky’s.

“Would you really see me as your enemy?” she asked Law, sticking her lip out in a feigned pout.

He frowned. “For the duration of the game – yes.” Her pout turned genuine, but he only smirked and leaned in to whisper in her ear. “I won’t let my team hurt you and I’ll kiss all your bruises better after we win.”

“You mean after you lose,” she corrected with a cheeky smile. “You shouldn’t underestimate us.”

“I’m not, but I think we have a good chance of defeating you… Just do me a favor and keep your top on this time,” he said.

She gasped in mock offense. “This time? I have no idea what you’re talking about!”

Law’s brow arched. “You caused such a huge commotion when you flashed Eustass-ya and his team that it was impossible for me not to hear about it during our game, so don’t even try to lie about it.”

She crossed her arms with a huff. “All right. I will keep my shirt on for the whole game,” she promised. That didn’t mean she wouldn’t use every trick she had to distract Law’s team. They all had more than enough weaknesses that she could take advantage of.

“You’re still going to cheat, aren’t you?” he asked, his tone flat.

“I said I would keep my shirt on,” she said with an innocent smile.

Law sighed. He knew better than to expect her to play fair. Whatever helped Luffy win.

“When we win, I’ll give you a good consolation prize,” Nami whispered suggestively.

He snorted in amusement. “I’ll take that offer as my grand prize when I win.”

She snickered as she beckoned him in for a peck.

“Oi, Nami!” Zoro called out. “No fraternizing with the enemy!”

“You heard Luffy, we’re not enemies until after dinner,” she yelled back while Law turned around to flip her friend off. They would fraternize all they wished.

Law had finished treating her injuries and settled into the spot beside her as Sanji began to pass around the first course of snacks. Zoro came over with his cooler of beer to share with them, frustrating Law when he shoved a bottle into his hand and demanded he drink with him. Law tried to argue with him, as he always did, but in the end Zoro got his way.

They spent the rest of the afternoon eating and drinking in the park. It was a fun party, with Luffy starting games any time he had to wait for Sanji to finish grilling more meat for him. He dragged Law away from her for one of them and tried to get her to join, but she was too tired and insisted on resting.

By early evening, her eyes were growing heavy, but the party was far from over. The hot afternoon had cooled off to promise a comfortable night and a breeze picked up that carried the scent of rain in it. It was a calming smell that only served to make her feel more tired, even as she stubbornly tried to stay awake.

Law managed to escape Luffy long enough to return to the tree she sat beneath. She forced a tired smile when he collapsed beside her and heaved a sigh of relief. He didn’t even try to smile. He looked more exhausted than she did.

“Don’t worry, I heard Sanji say something about getting ice cream for dessert,” Nami said as Law leaned against her side. “That should distract Luffy long enough for you to rest.”

“I’m fine,” Law grunted. “How are you feeling?”

“Better,” she chirped. “At least my cuts don’t hurt anymore, all thanks to you, Doctor Law.”

He smirked, shifting to drape his arm over her shoulders. “I do appreciate a good patient who knows how to kiss my ass.”

Nami giggled as she turned to rest her head on his shoulder, nestling closer to his side. Her eyes fell shut as Law’s fingers combed through her hair.

“I plan to leave soon,” he whispered. “I can give you a ride home since I don’t think your friends are ready to call it a night yet.”

She hummed as she nuzzled his throat. “I’m fine. Just need to rest my eyes for a minute.”

His chuckle echoed in her ear. “If you say so,” he said, his voice low and soothing. She felt him shift beneath her, stretching out and pulling her closer. His head rested against hers once he was comfortable. “I’ll still take you home when you’re ready to go.”

“Are you planning to stay the night?” she mumbled.

“If it’s all right with you,” he muttered back. “I want to check on your injuries before the game tomorrow.”

“Okay,” she whispered.

As his fingers grazed over her neck and down her shoulder, she nestled as close to Law as she could. He tugged her legs over his and draped his arm over her waist. She could hear his steady, rasping breaths and the beat of his heart. The sounds and touch lulled her until she felt her mind begin to float, as though taken away on a cloud while she dozed off.

When she jolted awake, the world around her was dark, only faintly lit by silver-white moonlight. She blinked tired eyes to take in her surroundings, squinting at the shadowy forms of their friends all scattered around them.

They had all fallen asleep in the middle of the park.

Law groaned in his sleep, bringing her attention to his relaxed face. He looked so peaceful. She felt bad that she would have to wake him, especially knowing how hard it could be for him to fall asleep. But sleeping against the tree was bound to cramp up her already sore muscles and make her ache too much to play in the finals the next day. She wanted to be cozy in her bed, with her boyfriend curled up around her.

“Tora-o,” she whispered as she nudged his shoulder. “Wake up.”

He grumbled incoherently in his sleep, wound his arms around her, and squeezed her tight against his chest. She wouldn’t be deterred.

“Tora-o,” she hissed while pinching his cheek. He groaned and batted her hand away as he turned to nuzzle her neck. She shoved him again and this time he snapped awake.

“What is it?” he growled.

“We fell asleep at the park. I want to go home,” she whispered harshly.

He groaned again as he rubbed his eyes. “Where are the others? Why didn’t they wake us?”

“They fell asleep, too,” she explained. “We should probably wake them.”

“Leave them,” he grumbled as he wound his arms around her again and pushed her head back to his chest. “Let’s go back to sleep.”

“But it’s uncomfortable sleeping against a tree,” she huffed.

Law let out an annoyed sigh, shifted where he sat, and then fell to lay on the ground, dragging her with him. “There. Better?”

“Don’t you want to sleep in my bed,” she huffed, even as she silently agreed that the new position was better. She stretched out over Law, nestling her head on his chest while he ran a hand over her back.

“I’ll sleep in your bed tomorrow night,” he muttered. “I just want to go back to sleep now.”

If he could fall back to sleep so easily, then he must have been more exhausted than he let on. She relented with a sigh and relaxed on his chest. Their legs tangled together as she curled into him, leeching the warmth from his body.

“All right, we’ll go back to sleep,” she whispered.

Law’s only response was a grunt. The hand that ran over her back slowed and stuttered, telling her that he was already beginning to doze off again.

She sighed again as she angled her head to rest over his heart. The steady thump beneath her ear called her back to sleep. She heard it skip a beat before Law’s hand moved to rest on her head, his fingers tangling into her long hair. She heard him sigh, the sound content and wistful. His nails scratched over her scalp and sent a shiver down her spine. He shifted beneath her, and then she felt the faintest kiss brushed against her head.

He didn’t have to say a word for her to understand what the gesture was meant to tell her.

She smiled, rubbed her cheek against his chest, and sank into him; telling him without words that she loved him, too.

Bruised and sore, laying on the hard ground with the man she loved holding her in his arms… She had never slept so well in her life.
