After the 2 year skip, by the way. Could be important :P. Ace is still alive. Sabo too.

ღ This Is My Love Story ღ

Act 1.

Do you know those people who can't say 'no' because they don't want to hurt other people feelings? Those unselfish people?

I hate them…

Why?

I'm one of them.

The sun shone on the grassy plain. The grass moved, caused by the light breeze. A white house on the top of a hill caught all the sun. The house next to it caught the entire nice summer breeze.

Nami, a resident of the little white house, woke up in the morning. Being called by your mother… Such a nice way to wake up. Nami rubbed her eye and looked around. She looked at some pictures. She went out of her bed and walked towards the pictures. She looked at them with a smile. One pictures with a boy with black hair and freckles and her and one picture with a black haired boy, a scar, a lollipop and his godforsaken yellow red cap. His expression was uninterested, like he's yelling: I don't care if you make a picture, but stay away from my lollipop! Nami smiled and kept looking at the picture, like she always did every morning. She decided she had looked enough and walked to her closet, grabbing some clothes. She pulled them on and walked to the bathroom. Nami looked into the mirror and sighed.

Already five years… It's not like, already being stuck with him for five years, but more like… Already five years the wrong decision. She can't break up with him, because she doesn't want to hurt him. Like she couldn't say no because she didn't want to hurt him.

Ace asked five years ago if Nami wanted to be his girlfriend and she said 'yes' without hesitation… Or did she hesitate? Yes, she definitely did… Because she loves Luffy, already since their childhood… That's already fucking 15 years… Nami sighed again.

She grabbed her brush and brushed her long hair. She smiled and hummed. She always smiled and hummed when she brushed her hair, it reminds her of the times Luffy brushed her hair when they played with water or took a shower in their swimming suits. Nami closed her eyes and thought about the past again. She always did that… She opened her eyes and looked into the mirror. She put the brush down and walked back towards her room, grabbing her bag. She looked at her guitar and smiled. She grabbed her guitar and sat down on her bed. She played a little lullaby she kept repeating at the band. She made a band together with Sabo and Luffy. She was the lead singer, Sabo, their brother, played the bass and Luffy played the drums. Luffy also could sing, for he had a girlish voice, but it's embarrassing for him… So she'll sing. Nami put her guitar down on her bed and grabbed her bag again.

She walked downstairs but slipped with her foot. Nami cursed and scowled looking at her foot. It didn't look serious… She walked downstairs again and met her mother in the living room.

Her mother, Bellemere, pointed at the table "Your breakfast is ready." Nami nodded with a smile and walked towards the table.

She sat down and looked at her plate. She looked at Nojiko and Nojiko was reading. Nami looked with half lidded eyes while she ate. Nojiko was so boring… Just like Sabo. She would have coupled Sabo if Sabo didn't already had a girlfriend, which is Nojiko's best friend, Robin. The three of them loves reading… Nojiko stood up and grabbed her plate. She brought it to the sink. She almost went upstairs but someone knocked on the door.

Nojiko turned and opened the door with a smile. "Nami is almost ready." Nami turned with her mouth full and looked at the two black haired brothers. Luffy and Ace entered and closed the door. Ace walked to Bellemere for a chat, god may know what, and Luffy came to Nami, sitting next to her. He grabbed something out of his bag - A book – and laid it on the table.

"Thanks for borrowing it." He grinned

Nami looked at him with a knowing little smirk "Like you actually read it." Luffy pouted and grabbed some beacon from her plate. "Oi!" he walked away and stuck his tongue out. Nami smiled a bit. Why she liked him? She had no idea… Ace had more manners… And Luffy didn't…

Nami grabbed her plate and walked to sink. Ace took the plate with a smile

"I'll do it. Prepare for school." Nami smiled and nodded. She walked upstairs for her shoes. Luffy looked at her and back at Ace.

Ace frowned confused at Luffy "What's wrong?" he asked.

Luffy shrugged his shoulders. "She walked a bit limp… That's all." Ace frowned.

"She would have said something if she had something… So I think it's not that serious…" Luffy looked with an expressionless face and nodded. He could be right… And Ace knew her better… Nami walked downstairs with a smile. She grabbed her bag and walked to the door.

"I see you soon." Smiled Bellemere. Nami smiled and nodded. The three childhood friends left the house and walked on the sandy path, towards school. Nami and Ace walked hand in hand and Luffy walked behind them. Luffy looked at Nami's foot with suspicious. Nothing wrong? My ass…

Nami, Luffy and Ace arrived on school. Ace and Nami kissed goodbye, for Ace had different lessons. Luffy made an 'I'm putting my finger in my throat and I'm going to puke' sign. Nami slapped Luffy's shoulder and said chuckled. Ace looked at them as they walked to their lesson. He walked to his lesson too after some time.

-xxxxxx-

Nami and Luffy almost slept in the lesson. Nami sat up abruptly when her mobile vibrated. She looked at her message and her expression turned sad

Darling!

I'm earlier ready, history teacher is sick, so I'm going to home already.

You still love me, right :3?

Xx Ace

Her expression didn't turn sad because he was earlier home, but because of one specific sentence in the message. Nami put her mobile back in her pocket. Her hand shot up to her foot. Luffy glanced at her and sighed. She was such a stupid idiot… She was afraid she was going to be a burden to Ace and Luffy.

"Go to the schoolnurse!" seethed Luffy. Nami looked at him and forced a smile. Luffy frowned

"I don't have to… There's nothing wrong…" she murmured. Luffy turned mad

"Go!" he seethed again "Or I'm going to drag you there!" Nami frowned. She looked at her table with a frown. Why… He always was worried over her… Even when they used to 'hate' each other. Nami looked through the window with a frown, again thinking about the past…

"Mommy! Mommy! There's a monster outside!" yelled the crying little Nami.

Bellemere looked confused at her. "What?" asked Bellemere. Nami pointed at the window. Bellemere looked through the window and laughed. "A truck? Are you afraid for a truck?" she laughed

"But… But it's so big!" she said, signing with her arms how big it was. Bellemere laughed and grabbed her hand. She dragged Nami outside, over the sand path. Nami yelped and protested, but Bellemere was, of course, stronger. Bellemere was curious what kind of neighbours they had… Nami blinked when she saw four silhouettes. Three little silhouettes and one big.

Bellemere smiled and greeted them "Hello."

A man with red hair turned and smiled "Hello."

"I guess you are my new neighbours, right?" asked Bellemere. The man nodded.

"I guess so."

"My name is Bellemere and this is my 6 year old daughter Nami. I have another 7 year old daughter named Nojiko, but she's sleeping now… She has the chicken-pox…"

"Ah, chicken-pox… Such a stupid disease." Murmured the red man.

Bellemere laughed. "Yea, it sure is! Nami already had them." Nami stood behind Bellemere.

The man laughed "Well that's good." He smiled. "Ah, I'm Shanks. My wife Makino is inside. This is 8 year old Ace." Nami looked at him. He looked kinda intimidating… "This is 9 year old Sabo." Sabo bowed with a hello. He looked nice… "And this is 5 year old Luffy." Luffy smiled and waved. He looked stupid…

"You!" Nami pointed at Luffy. Bellemere already gasped. Nami sometimes had the bad habit to say things what's on her mind "You are stupid." Luffy pointed at himself. Nami nodded. Shanks gasped this time. Luffy also says what's on his mind...

"Ever looked at yourself? Any idea what a mirror is?" Just like Nami…

Nami smiled thinking about the past. That was the beginning of their hatred… Nami did change over the years… Well, the biggest part changed 5 years ago. Thinking about other people's feelings, that is… Since Ace asked her to be his girlfriend, she had been very careful with picking the right words…

When did the hatred stop? And when did she begin to love him, of all people?

Winter, 15 years ago

"Ha! Snow!" yelled Ace happy. "I'm going to Nami!"

"Yay!" yelled the five year old Luffy happy. He ran outside without his coat.

"Oi! Luffy! Put your coat on!" yelled the elder brother, Sabo.

"Why?" asked Luffy. Realisation hit him "Brr, cold!" Sabo and Ace facepalmed. Luffy almost walked back to his house, but a snowball met his way, in his face. Luffy turned and glared daggers, seeing an orange haired girl.

"Haha! Head-shot!"

"I'm getting you back for that!" yelled Luffy. He ran to his house for his coat and scarf and he ran back.

Sabo tried to stop him "O…OI! Luffy!" Luffy already was after Nami and Nami ran away. "Pfft… Idiot…"

"Come back here!" yelled Luffy. Nami ran fast and saw a tree. She ran towards it, and climbed. It was very slippery, but she got up. She stuck her tongue out with a laugh. Luffy pouted. He couldn't climb in trees.

"I wait here until you come out!" yelled Luffy. Nami laughed and looked down. Her laughter dissapeard soft. Luffy noticed and frowned. "What's wrong?"

"I can't… Come out…" murmured Nami. "It's too high…" she murmured.

Luffy frowned. "Try…"

"No! It's slippery! I can't come out!" she cried.

"Ok." Said Luffy bluntly. Nami glared at him but her glare was replaced by confusion when she looked at Luffy. Luffy stood under the three, with his arms prepared for a catch "Jump."

Nami's eyes widened "Are you crazy!" she yelled "Do you know how high this is!"

"Jump."

"No! I can-"

"JUMP!" Nami shuddered and closed her eyes. She jumped. She thought she was going to fall hard on the ground, but she got caught by Luffy instead. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked at Luffy. Luffy grinned. He gasped and lost his balance, causing him to fall on his back. Luffy laughed and made a snow angel. Nami smiled and lay next to him, making the same snow angel. Nami and Luffy heard someone come. They looked and smiled. Sabo and Ace.

"Hey!" smiled Ace. Nami and Luffy smiled and waved. "Didn't you hate Luffy?"

"Nope!" replied Nami and she lay back. Ace and Sabo's eyebrows rose. Luffy also lay back and went further. Sabo and Ace snorted and fell on their backs, making snow angels.

Ah… That was when it started… She smiled in her palm. Nami glanced at Luffy. His hair was messy caused by his cap…

Nami smiled. "Ok, ok… I'll go the schoolnurse." She said. Luffy looked at Nami and smiled. "But promise me not to tell Ace… He's going to be too worried."

Luffy nodded. "You want me to go with you?"

"No, thanks." She smiled. She stood up and walked to the teacher. Luffy watched her walking away. He frowned a bit and sighed. Such a problematic girl…

-xxxxxxxx-

"And?" asked the cap wearing boy.

"My ankle is sprained." She replied looking at her ankle. "I can't sport for two weeks."

"Lucky you…" replied Luffy.

Nami laughed and nodded. "Yea, I guess." Nami and Luffy walked away from the school. Nami still walked limp and Luffy noticed. He almost wanted to help her but Luffy got cut of. The childhood friends looked at Ace.

"Hey." smiled Ace. Luffy and Nami blinked confused. "I heard you sprained your ankle." Nami frowned and glared at Luffy. Luffy looked away with a whistle.

Nami sighed and nodded. "Yeah." Replied Nami with a frown. She really was mad at Luffy now.

Ace walked to Nami and he bent his knees slightly, facing away from Nami, and when she didn't move, he looked over his shoulder and told her, "Get on."

Nami frowned and nodded. She wrapped her arms around his neck and climbed on his back. They walked away and they didn't talk. Luffy yawned, making Nami yawn too. They walked towards their homes.

"Go home already, I'll bring Nami to her house." Said Ace

Luffy nodded and went to his house. Nami looked at him. So unfair… Luffy made her go to the school nurse… But he did tell on Ace… Ace and Nami entered her house. She was alone… Ace looked at a note on the table. Bellemere was shopping and Nojiko is at Robin's. Nami walked upstairs and walked to her room. Ace still carried her bag so he walked with her upstairs. He put the bag down.

"I'm going." Nami smiled and grabbed her pajama. She's wasn't really talkactive… "Does your ankle hurt that bad?"

Nami nodded "Yeah… Sorry."

Ace smiled. "Ok… I see you tomorrow."

"Yeah…" Smiled Nami. Ace kissed her forehead and exited her bedroom. She heard the frontdoor closing again. She ploffed on her bed and wiped her tears away.

I'm a fucking idiot!
