.oOo. Day 16 - noon .oOo.

It was the next day and thus the day of the date... Nami was standing at her station, fidgeting her fingers as she was waiting for the subway to arrive.

She wondered how Luffy looked like without his school uniform and she especially hoped he didn't forget about their date. Luffy seemed forgetful, but that's not really strange knowing he almost didn't use the gray mass in his head.

The subway arrived and Nami gulped. She wasn't nervous because of the date, but she was more nervous if he was here or not. Sure, she could text him to his phone, but she didn't want to look too desperate.

The doors opened and Nami smiled relieved when she saw a black haired guy standing prepared. He looked up and grinned, seeing her. He stepped out of the subway and he walked towards her with a smile. At the same time, they were inspecting each other.

Luffy was wearing a white shirt with a red vest and a baggy denim jeans. There was one thing that really got her attention...

Nami was wearing a black dress, golden earrings and bracelets and strapped boots. Luffy noticed her expression, seeing she looked amusedly confused.

"What's up with that strawhat?" Nami wondered with a small laugh. Luffy grinned back, knowing her expression must have been something like that.

"It's one of the biggest presents I ever received. I'll explain it later to you." Luffy answered with a grin.

"Alright..." Nami answered with a cocked eyebrow. She was curious about what kind of story that was... "Where are we going?"

"It's a secret, but we have to take the next subway." Luffy said with a grin.

Nami normally doesn't like surprises, but this time she didn't mind because she couldn't help but think about what Luffy had been planning.

"Alright..." Nami said again, fidgeting on the fabric of her dress. "You could also have texted me to tell me to get into the subway you were in."

"I... Yeah, I could have done that..." Luffy said with a grin and a sweatdrop.

Nami rolled her eyes and they were both quiet. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence, but the same silence they always had whenever they were in the subway. The comfortable silence of knowing you had company who don't mind being quiet.

But still... Nami still felt as if it was different this time. Because Luffy didn't hum, whistle or make any noise at that matter... Nami knew him for two weeks now, but she knew he wouldn't be this quiet normally...

She was secretly looking at his posture. He was staring at the direction from where the subway would come from. His hands were in his pockets and he was balancing on the outer sides of his feet. He seemed relaxed... Maybe she was thinking too much again...

But Nami wasn't right. Luffy was actually quite nervous, he just hid it well. He didn't get why he was nervous, though. Nami was just his friend and they were going to do stuff friends do. Even though he hadn't told Nami what it was yet. Maybe he got nervous because of all the stuff Sanji and Zoro had told him on Skype yesterday.

Weird stuff what people actually do on a date. Really, what the hell was special about kissing and why do that on a first date? Luffy didn't want to think too much about it and he just kept on waiting for the subway, until it finally arrived.

"Where do we need to go?" Nami wondered with a smile.

"The next station." Luffy said with a grin. Nami stared at him while they went into the subway. Luffy noticed and cocked an eyebrow. "What?"

"You know, in the time we were waiting for the subway, we could just have walked to the next station..."

It was now Luffy's turn to stare, but he pouted quickly already "I'm not good at this dating stuff..."

Nami laughed at the remark he just made. "What? You're acting as if this is your first date." Luffy looked at her with his owlish eyes, as he was not sure what he should say "Wait... Is this your first date?" Nami wondered surprised.

Ah yeah, maybe he should have said something like that... Luffy nodded with a pout "Yup. Isn't it yours?"

"Yeah, I have been on quite a few dates." Nami answered "But I didn't like any of them..."

Luffy rolled his lips in, suddenly feeling some sort of nervous breakdown. "So... What if you don't like this date? Does that mean we aren't friends anymore?"

Nami suddenly got startled by his remark, and she waved her hands in front of her "No, no! I'm not going to avoid you! Don't say weird things." Luffy let go a breath he didn't know he was holding. He was happy to know she would stay friends with him...

They both looked up when the subway stopped at the designated location and Nami looked at Luffy as he opened the door. They exited the subway and Nami only became more and more curious about where they were going...

.oOo. Day 16 - evening .oOo.

People in the subway looked up at two others walking in with laughter. Nami placed her hand in front of her mouth with a giggle. "Oops." she said with a smile.

The date ended and they had a lot of fun. Nami didn't get how Luffy came up with the idea to date at an arcade, but it actually worked very well. They had a great time and Luffy occasionally let her win a few times.

They both looked around but pouted "I guess there's no place to sit down..." Nami muttered. Luffy nodded, agreeing with her. It was very crowded and they figured the school- and workdays had ended.

One thing they hadn't noticed, were Sanji and Zoro sitting a few seats further. Zoro noticed Luffy's strawhat in the crowd and the men were equally surprised Nami was wearing it. Did Luffy entrust someone with his strawhat? The only present he got from his father-figure?

"Do you think they kissed?" Sanji asked curiously.

"Do you think I care?" Zoro asked with half lidded eyes, keeping his eyes on the couple.

Sanji rolled his eyes and sighed, grabbing his phone in the process. He texted Luffy and Luffy's phone suddenly vibrated.

He had some trouble getting his phone out of his pocket because of the crowded space surrounding him, but he ended up getting it. Luffy stared at the text and a pout turned onto his face. Who the hell cared if they did or didn't...

"Apparently they didn't..." Sanji murmured with half lidded eyes, seeing Luffy's expression from far. "Can't you create some sort of atmosphere for them? Bump them against each other or something?"

"What if Pudding hears you are this creepy?" Zoro wondered out loud.

"Oi, I am just happy Luffy found someone, but apparently he is too much of a chicken to take some action." Sanji explained with a shrug. "If he doesn't do anything, he'll probably lose her. And Nami-swan hadn't seen you often, so she won't notice you if you wear your cap."

"Wait." Zoro started with an unsure laugh "You're being serious!?"

"Just bump against them." Sanji said "I'll make your lunch for a week."

"Deal." the green haired answered as he stood up and put on his black cap. Sanji looked with half lidded eyes. If the blonde would have known it would be this easy by only saying that, he would have said it sooner...

Zoro walked through the crowd, softly cursing the deal he made. He also had to be careful before Luffy noticed him. Nami was almost turning her head towards Zoro's direction, so Zoro had to hastily avoid her stare. Sanji couldn't help but laugh, but he had to hold himself back.

Nami looked at Luffy again and she was talking and laughing with him. Zoro saw Luffy's back so he had no idea what he was doing. Zoro sneakily walked through the crowd again and he got closer.

Zoro prepared his elbow and he bumped it against Luffy's shoulder-blades, softly hoping it would actually work.

"Oomphf."

Zoro now walked through the crowd faster, not seeing how the couple did, but Sanji was happily surprised by Luffy's landing.

Nami and Luffy looked with widened eyes as their lips crashed messily onto one another. They kept staring, but the most awkward part was for them to not have enough space to back up.

They turned their heads, now making their cheeks against each other. They were really feeling hot right now in embarrassment.

"Did you do this on purpose?" Nami asked with severe shame and shock. Luffy tried to shake his head, but that would only give friction against her head.

Sanji was looking with a playful grin. How was that for a first kiss~?

Luffy looked with half lidded eyes and a pout. So they still ended kissing on the first date... And it was his first kiss too, but he didn't think it was this boring. Seriously, what was special about a kiss...

"I don't get it..." Luffy muttered, causing a vibration again Nami's cheek. Nami paid attention to what he was about to say. "They say kissing is amazing, but I don't get it."

"That's because we didn't actually kiss. It was more like an accident." Nami explained with a roll of her eyes and reddened cheeks.

"Ooh! So we didn't kiss! I just thought you were a bad kisser!" Luffy said with a smile "I'm relieved."

"What?! I'm not a bad kisser!" Nami seethed with a soft frown. Someone next Nami pushed the breath out of her lungs. When was the subway going to reach her station?

They got squeezed against each other more and if Nami's soft chest kept pushing against Luffy's hard one more, he might think he was going to change into Sanji. Since when were girls this freaking soft! Like marshmallows...

This was not a good ending of a date...

The subway finally arrived at Nami's station, but a lot of people exited the subway at that point and they dragged Nami along with them. "No, no, wait!" Nami yelled as she tried to grab Luffy. They didn't want their date to end this lame.

The doors closed and the subway drove away, leaving Luffy dumbfounded. Not dumbfounded because Nami got dragged away, not because the date ended lame but because she still had his hat...

"That was lame..." Sanji muttered, seeing Luffy depressed standing at the door. "Where the hell did Zoro go to..."

Just as soon as Sanji said that, his phone rang. Sanji picked up with half lidded eyes, seeing Zoro calling

"I'm lost, I think?"

"... How?" Sanji wondered confused.

"I think I'm in a different subway going back towards school..."

"HOW?!"

Luffy turned around. He thought he heard Sanji's voice... But maybe it's just his imagination... The black haired boy looked through the window again.

This was so stupid...

.oOo. Day 17 .oOo.

Luffy was nervously sitting on his seat. He really hoped Nami brought his strawhat with her... And besides that, Sanji couldn't stop asking at school how their date went and if they kissed. Sanji actually already knew, but he had to act dumb. And Sanji and Luffy had a group project again, so Sanji was sitting next to Luffy right now.

They arrived at Nami's school station and Nami walked into the subway. It was crowded again, but not as crowded as yesterday... Fortunately.

"Nami-swan!" Sanji yelled. Nami looked up and smiled, seeing the two men waving at her. She walked to them with a smile and Luffy smiled brightly too when he saw his hat on her head.

"You brought it with you!" Luffy said with a smile. Nami smiled too and nodded. She was almost about to give the hat to Luffy until Sanji said something.

"Hey Nami-swan... Luffy told me you're a bad kisser but I didn't imagine you to be..."

Nami's heart skipped a 'bad' beat and Luffy looked with a gaping mouth and widened eyes at his blonde friend. The same blonde friend who could keep his face straight after telling such a lie.

"I never said that!" Luffy yelled shocked while he was sweating bullets. Luffy now looked at Nami who seemed to emit a dark aura. "I-I never said that!"

"And like I already said..." Nami started "What happened yesterday wasn't a kiss. It was an accident."

"I know! I know!" Luffy explained, holding his hands in front of him in defense. "I never said that."

"What? You told the whole class? Are you getting forgetful?"

Luffy's head snapped to Sanji "Could you stop that?! I never said anything like that." Luffy looked at Nami again, who seemed to look away with a pout. Luffy frowned. He didn't want her to feel bad because of something which wasn't true. He stood up to catch her attention, but she looked further away again.

"If you think I'm a bad kisser already, then why bother dating..." Nami muttered

"Naaami." Luffy whined "I didn't say that... I don't care you being a bad kisser..."

Care you being a bad kisser... Bad kisser...

The bad wording of Luffy only kept echoing into Nami's head and a small vein kept throbbing in her forehead. She have had it...

Nami immediately grabbed Luffy's uniform tie and she pulled him to her, in his surprise. She placed her lips on his, making him gasp in shock. Nami moved her lips slowly against his, parting and kissing again. At one point, the surroundings for Luffy and Nami felt invisible...

Nami parted, pushed the hat back onto the owner's head and she stomped to the door as it reached her station.

"For your information, I only kiss men I identify as boyfriend. So consider yourself taken, bub!" Nami yelled frustrated. She left the subway and Luffy and Sanji were left speechless.

"What just happened?" Luffy asked, feeling weird as his belly and lips tickled.

"Apparently... You have a girlfriend?" Sanji murmured "You're welcome, I guess?" Luffy sat down as he straightened his hat, staring in front of him. "I was trying to provoke her to kiss you by lying... But apparently you're officially dating..."

They were both staring in front of them, not believing this just happened. This was a very different way of making it official...

"I like kissing... I get it now." the black-haired whispered. Nami tasted sweet and she felt really soft... Sanji snickered. His plan succeeded. Luffy suddenly pouted and looked at Sanji. "I'm still gonna tell Pudding how mean you are... Giving me a heart attack and all..."

"Damnit..."

.oOo. Day 18 .oOo.

Nami stood at the station, waiting for her subway to arrive. She shifted on her feet and she frowned a bit annoyed. Damnit... She had a boyfriend now and a stupid one too...

The subway was heading towards her station and it stopped in front of her. Nami took a very deep sigh before she went in. She saw Luffy sitting and he was fidgeting with his fingers. Nami sat down on the seat next to him and Luffy hadn't looked at her yet, but he knew she was the one.

The subway drove off again and Nami was playing with her phone. She saw Luffy put his hands down, relaxed on his upper legs. They hadn't said anything to each other yet.

Nami figured nothing will happen from Luffy's side. Not because he was shy, but because he was just plain stupid to try anything. "Have you ever had a girlfriend?" Nami suddenly asked while she was still occupied with her phone.

"Nope." Luffy answered, staring at people again in the subway. Nami smiled softly at that. It didn't surprise her at all. Nami put her phone away, and she noticed she was taking over Luffy's bad habits... She was staring at a few people.

Her brown eyes now landed on his hand again. Should she...?

She lifted her hand and slowly went to his. She was staring at his face the same time to see if he would notice anything.

Nami placed her warm, soft hand on his warm, rough one. His face turned to look at her hand and he looked at her, seeing she was staring back.

"Lesson one: Girlfriend and boyfriend sometimes show a bit of affection." Nami explained with a sweet smile. Luffy looked at their hands again, seeing their fingers were entwined.

He really liked the feeling a lot, weirdly enough... "I like it." he said with his grin. Nami grinned back at him, happy he actually liked it. Small baby steps like this will be OK...

It was stupid how something this small could make them feel happy. Luffy was looking at their hands, and only now he noticed how tender, little fingers she had... His were much bigger. He never really took notice of girls attires, but even her nails seemed to be nicely done.

He now looked at Nami, who was looking outside the window. Luffy frowned a bit as he felt a weird feeling. Some kind of mystery feeling as if he was getting sick...

As soon as the subway arrived Nami's station, their hands parted. "I'll see you tomorrow again."

"Alright!" Luffy grinned happy. "Can we hold hands tomorrow again?"

Nami rolled her eyes and looked at him with a slight blush "Of course we can, idiot. You don't have to ask..."

Luffy's grin widened and Nami left the subway with a smile. As soon as she was gone, Luffy pouted. He missed her already, but this was a different kind of missing...

So this was it like to have a girlfriend...

.oOo. Day 19 .oOo.

Luffy was sitting on his seat, waiting for Nami to arrive. He was looking at the door Nami normally appeared from, but he didn't see her... His heart seemed to drop, but he revived again when she entered through the other door. He immediately grabbed his bag from his seat, and Nami sat down next to him with a smile

"Thank you again for reserving a seat for me."

"You're welcome." Luffy grinned happy. He really was happy to see her again, and she was too. But today, Nami and Robin talked about Luffy. The two women now felt it was Luffy's turn to try something. Sure, they knew he was stupid, but he did say he wanted to hold hands again. And maybe Nami will reward Luffy if he does want to hold her hand... Just to increase the affection a bit.

Nami held her hand next to her on purpose, and she was looking around in the subway with a smile "So... How did school go?" Nami asked softly, waiting for Luffy to get into action.

"Well..." Luffy started "Zoro went around and told I have a girlfriend and Hancock turned crazy... I don't get why she got crazy..." Nami looked with half-lidded eyes. She didn't get who Hancock was, but Nami might know the reason why she turned crazy... "But I didn't mind. I'm just happy to see you again because I missed you."

Nami's smile widened with slightly reddened cheeks. She missed him too, and now she didn't mind him saying so because they were now a couple. Maybe they were the weirdest couple ever, since they mostly have a relationship inside a subway and only talked at night on the phone, but they were still happy.

The orange haired now had an idea, but she was only going to propose it if Luffy grabbed her hand...

"How was your day?"

"Boring, but OK." Nami answered with a smile. Luffy was happy she was smiling more. Her smile was really beautiful. His owlish eyes looked at the hand on Nami's lap. Should he reach for it... Or not? Nami did tell him he didn't have to ask... So he could try and just do it. But he was afraid she might punch him...

Luffy looked at her face and she was looking outside again. Maybe he should make her sit at the window-seat more often... Luffy looked at her hand again and he moved his hand slowly.

Nami's smile widened when she felt his fingers brush slowly over the top of her hand. So he was trying... She found it so enormously cute. She looked at his hand and he was about to retreat his hand, until Nami laughed and grabbed it. "Don't be so scared. I already told you it's ok." she explained with a smile. He smiled uneasy, looking at their hands. He just couldn't understand why her touch suddenly made him feel weird. Maybe he should ask Zoro or Sanji.

"Hey Luffy, I was also wondering if you would like to join dinner tomorrow at my place? My mom will make her curry. It's her specialty." Nami explained with a smile, leaving Luffy staring "And my sister doesn't believe I have a boyfriend, so I want to make her shut up."

Luffy now grinned and nodded. "Yeah, sure! I love curry!"

Nami smiled at him again as she noticed he didn't mind meeting her family, which would turn a normal guy nervous. "That's great. If you send me your address, my sister and I can pick you up tomorrow at your home. Since it's Saturday tomorrow." she explained as she stood up to exit the subway at the upcoming station.

"Alright!" Luffy grinned. He got offered free food, so he was automatically happy. Nami excited the subway and Luffy immediately texted his address to her. Luffy smiled to himself as he felt himself turning excited. So this was the way a boyfriend and girlfriend acted?

Luffy pursed his lips and he dialed a number. "Saaaanji." Luffy whined "How come I suddenly feel different about Nami now." Luffy pursed his lips worse because he sensed Sanji rolling his eyes.

"That's because she is your girlfriend now. You love her~"

Luffy looked outside and he hummed

"Hmm... Love?"

.oOo. Day 22 - morning .oOo.

It was a new Monday and the subway was really hectic again, especially this time because Robin couldn't sit quietly on her place. She texted with Nami yesterday because Nami seemed weirdly enough stressed... Robin wasn't sure about what so she kept looking around in the subway to try and find Nami.

"Psst, Robin. I am here." Robin turned around to see a woman with a huge hat, sunglasses and a book in front of her nose. Robin looked expressionless, not sure of what to think about this.

"What?" Robin asked confused at seeing her best friend. "Nami, what-"

"Sst! Don't say my name before Luffy sees me!" Nami said annoyed, which made Robin only more confused.

"What's going on?" Robin asked, sitting down next to Nami "Did you get into a fight? Why are you hiding for him?"

Nami pulled her sunglasses off and she seemed to carry a troubled expression. "Well... Euhm... Luffy said he... Loves me..." Robin kept staring at Nami with a frozen face "Well... Not with those words, but he said he felt different about me now we are dating. So Sanji-kun told him it was because he loves me now. So he said it..."

"So?"

"So... Isn't it too early?" Nami wondered with a pained expression

"Well..." Robin thought out loud "I don't think there's no such thing as 'early' with love. If he feels like that, he feels like that..." The black-haired woman explained. Nami pouted, because Robin was right again.

"But why are you avoiding him?" Robin asked.

Nami laughed uneasy and she rubbed her cheek with her index finger. "Because I froze when he said this yesterday. He is the first man I feel different about. I think I'm scared to screw this up."

"How different do you feel about him?" Robin asked with a smile. Nami frowned slightly, thinking about that answer.

"He is a real idiot, but he is really honest. The other guys I dated already lied on the first date. Besides that, he is the first guy my mom and sister actually liked." Nami explained. Robin hummed with a widened smile. "It was really nice and cozy when he ate at my house. He didn't act differently or anything. He was just himself."

"Have you ever actually been in love?" Robin asked with a smile. Nami looked at Robin with pouted lips and she shook her head 'no'. "Because what you just told me, sounded like you are really in love. It sounded like you really love him."

A blush crept over Nami's cheeks. "What? You honestly think I love him?"

"Well, that's the question you have to answer yourself, but you sound really lovey-dovey."

The subway stopped at their station and Nami sighed. She couldn't hide herself anymore for Luffy... She really had to talk with him...

.oOo. Day 22 - afternoon .oOo.

The orange haired girl stepped into the subway and she looked around, hoping to find Luffy... Even though they never travel on the way back... Nami ended up frowning to herself, because she couldn't find him. Nami sighed and she sat down on an empty chair. This was going to be a very boring ride...

.oOo. Day 23 .oOo.

Nami couldn't sleep last night... She received a text from Luffy... Because he needed to talk with her. Nami had to hold herself back, because she felt like crying. He was going to break up with her, she was sure... And she was sure it was because she didn't say 'I love you' back...

Every boyfriend or girlfriend who said they wanted to talk with the ones they are seeing, means they were going to break up. Nami stepped into the subway, and she got suddenly shocked when she saw Luffy sitting a few steps further, staring at her. He saw her...

Nami gulped and she walked to him. He kept staring at her. She sat down and she took a deep gulp "So... Why do you wanna talk... Did I do something wrong?"

"What? You didn't do anything wrong." he said still staring at her. "You are acting kinda weird."

Nami let a deep breath go she didn't know she was holding. "You idiot..." Nami started, rubbing her forehead "When a boyfriend says 'we need to talk', it ends with breaking up. So that's another relationship rule you have to know."

"I see..." Luffy answered, putting his fist in his hand "But I still have to tell you something."

Nami looked up, seeing he was making an unsure expression "I have to move away... My father got a new job offer at New World, so I'm being transferred to a different school."

Nami turned pale. "Eh...?" No way... The only boy she finally felt good with, was moving away to a place a few hours away from here... "Are you for real?" Nami asked. Luffy nodded with a pout "So... What about us?"

"What about us?"

"Well, we are going to live far apart... Is our relationship going to work...?"

"Why not?" Luffy asked with a grin "We don't know as long as we don't try."

Nami smiled gently and she nodded. He was right. As long as they don't try, they can never be sure. "When are you moving away?"

"Tomorrow." Luffy answered with a pout, turning Nami sad. Tomorrow already... "But we can always call and skype together!"

Nami smiled widely. Luffy was so positive... She was getting hope that it was going to work out. "Alright." Nami said with a smile on her beautiful face. "Let's try."

Luffy grinned and nodded. "Otherwise, let's make a promise! Marry me when we graduate from school!"

"Whaaaat..." Nami said with disbelieve. "Luffy, you are 17 and I'm 18... Don't talk about marriage as if it's nothing..."

Luffy grinned again "Don't worry! Everything will be ok!"

Nami's smile widened and she shook her head "Unbelieveable how much I love you..."

"Shishishi!"

.oOo. Day 817 .oOo.

Around two years have passed and those two years were relatively boring for Nami... At least in the subway.

Nami talked a lot on the phone with Luffy while she traveled the subway, but it didn't feel the same. Still, Luffy was right. It did work out and they still had a relationship. They talked via skype and send a lot of messages.

The subway arrived at Nami's school station and Nami sighed deeply. She changed her high heels for her sneakers just now on the subway, because she just couldn't hold it on much longer. She let out her long hair out of her bun and she stroke her black dress to make sure it wasn't dirty. That was one, huge graduation party and she have had it already. Nami stepped into the subway, but she gasped when she saw every seat was taken and at how busy it was at this time of the day "What the hell?!" Nami said, seeing the crowd. No one left the subway, so she still didn't have a place to sit. Was this serious?!

Nami looked around to see if she had a seat. Her feet were killing her so she had to sit somewhere. She gasped when she saw Zoro and Sanji sitting on a seat "Sanji-kun! Zoro!"

"Why don't I get a honorific?"

"Nami-swan!" Sanji said enthusiastic. "You have gotten so beautiful in those two years!"

"You guys look great! It has been such a long time!" Nami said with a huge smile. The orange haired woman shifted on her feet. "By the way, have you guys seen a free seat somewhere?"

"Yeah." Zoro said, pointing towards the front "Somewhere at the front I believe..."

"Thank you! Let's meet up sometime!" Nami said with a grin as she walked further. Sanji and Zoro looked at her, Zoro with half lidded eyes and Sanji looked sad.

"She is so beautiful..." Sanji muttered

"I swear, if that idiot is going to ruin this..."

Nami walked further and she finally saw the free seat. She smiled widely and she sat down with a deep sigh. "Finally..." she whispered "How come this subway got so crowded..."

"Because I asked all my classmates and friends to help. Everyone is sitting on a seat in the hope you would sit next to me." Nami's eyes widened slowly and she looked next to her, seeing a 19 year old boy grinning at her. "And this is the exact same seat where we met each other." Nami began to tear up when she kept staring at him. "You look really beautiful."

"L-Luffy!" Nami cried, suddenly hugging him. Luffy laughed and hugged her back "I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too!"

"What are you doing here!?" Nami asked shocked, tracing her eyes all over his face. It was so unreal!

Luffy looked confused at her. "What? You don't remember?" The blackhaired man reached to his bag and he grabbed a box out of it, making Nami look with widened eyes "Firstly, congratulations on your graduation! I graduated too last week! Secondly-"

"NO." Nami suddenly stated "You were serious!?"

"So you do remember?"

"You have got to be kidding!?"

"We are now 19 and 20..."

Nami stared at Luffy's face with a shocked expression and Luffy kept looking back with owlish eyes. Luffy's eyes traced down to the box and Nami's eyes followed suit. The man opened the box and the woman gasped, seeing the ring. It was a small diamond but Nami's didn't give one crap about it.

"You weren't kidding..."

"No."

"I can't believe you are proposing in the subway..." Nami muttered softly, but she gasped by the following:

"Just say yes!"

"SAY YES!"

"MARRY HIM ALREADY!"

"He only talked about you those last two years! Say yes!"

Every friend and classmate yelled through the subway, telling Nami to say yes. Nami began to tear up more and she looked at him.

"Y-Yes." she answered with a sob.

"WOO-HOO!" the whole subway yelled out, but the couple were too busy kissing each other through laughter.

Now, this was known as the legendary 'Travel Love' story.
