@xdarnxskippyx asked: Nico & the rest of the crew eating / drinking on ship and Nico has hands showing on table but she has one of her other hands rubbing Nami off under table while Nami struggles to hide it or smth :))

Things had started tense. Had Nami NERVOUS. Vivi hadn’t been back aboard the ship since Nico Robin had INVITED HERSELF to join the crew. A lot had happened since, but Vivi hadn’t been there for ANY OF IT. For Vivi, her lasting memory of Nico Robin had to be her as Miss All Sunday, aiding Crocodile in the TYRANNICAL DESTITUTION of her homeland. The attempted coup and murder of Vivi’s father, the near deaths of Koza, Chaka, and Pell, and the armament of a big GODDAMN bomb set to blow Alubarna SKY-HIGH. Thankfully, Vivi had professed faith in whatever it was Luffy had seen in Nico Robin. And to Nami’s RELIEF? She knew that faith was well-placed because they’d ALL seen Nico Robin prove her loyalty and love for the crew. They’d been to literal HEAVEN and been put through the closest thing to a real-life HELL. And here they stood—ETERNAL & UNSHAKABLE.

There were but a SCARCE FEW ways any of this could go wrong. …And with a single flick of her wrist, the ensuing brush of an ALIEN HAND across her thigh… Nico Robin may just have found the NUMBER ONE WAY THIS COULD GO HORRIBLY WRONG. A soft GASP, SHOCK. The crew might have grown accustomed to that ODD FEELING of an arm GROWING out of their skin, courtesy of the Flower-Flower Fruit. But when Robin CAUGHT THEM OFF GUARD like this? Yeah, no one could get used to it. Especially not with the hand massaging her inner thigh. A lick of her lips and she sucked it between her teeth, swallowing hard… Did Nico Robin know of Nami & Vivi’s own INTIMATE HISTORY? Was this some kind of POWER PLAY? Was she WORRIED about Vivi coming back on board? She really had no reason to. Nami & Vivi’s… THING… was an opportunity for comfort. Friends with benefits, so to speak. There was never an inkling of an idea that they would be anything more than that. Nami had MOVED ON. But Robin was playing with FIRE, risking SCORCHING EVERYTHING & EVERYONE around them. Why? Well, Nami had no place to ask, considering her LACK OF RESISTANCE…

Vivi had a SECRET. TWO, actually. She’d known for a while now that Nico Robin had joined the Straw Hat Crew. That kind of news didn’t tend to stay quiet. And Admiral Aokiji had arrived on Alabasta in Robin’s wake, ARRESTING Crocodile and QUIZZING Vivi on the nature of the then-known Miss All-Sunday. She spoke the TRUTH back then: that she had no idea where she’d disappeared to. He’d come back after Blackbeard had LOST Luffy in the CLOUD SEA, hoping that the NEWS of Robin’s newfound allegiance with the Straw Hat Pirates would shake some of Vivi’s resolve. She had REFUSED to speak on Luffy’s destination following their narrow escape from Alabasta. And she CONTINUED to REFUSE to speak on Luffy’s journey, even knowing they had accepted Nico Robin as part of their crew. She had TWO REASONS for this, though both came with an extra edge—DEEP CUTS in Vivi—that she feared Robin may never have been able to HEAL.

ONE: Vivi BELIEVED in Luffy’s JUDGMENT OF CHARACTER and the Will of D. HELL, hadn’t Vivi herself started out as their ENEMY? And was Robin any different for HER REASONS for ALIGNING herself with Crocodile? CUT ONE: Vivi had seen FIRSTHAND just how CUNNING a woman Nico Robin truly was. And while she had FAITH in Luffy, she did not share his BOUNDLESS OPTIMISM. A part of Vivi may have never been able to FULLY TRUST Nico Robin again. Perhaps that was for the BEST—an UNBIASED SOURCE to MAINTAIN VIGIL on Nico Robin’s MORALITY. …Except… Except she WASN’T an UNBIASED SOURCE… was she? TWO: Vivi Nefertari shared not just an INTIMATE HISTORY with Nami but an INTIMATE HISTORY with Nico Robin herself. It had started as a DUPLICITOUS SCHEME—Vivi using her BODY as LEVERAGE to buy Robin’s TRUST and sleep her way into the INNER CIRCLE of the then-unknown Mr. Zero. But it hadn’t stayed that way… They’d gotten TOO CLOSE. And maybe a part of Vivi had DESPICABLY begun to ENJOY the time she had spent with Nico Robin, back when they lived by the names of Miss Wednesday and Miss All-Sunday. And perhaps, unlike her entanglement with Nami… her entanglement with Nico Robin still had her EMOTIONS IN KNOTS. Was that why she was here? RESOLUTION? Or…

“H-Hey, Zoro, can you pass that MOONSHINE?” Zoro was a REMARKABLY SIMPLE MAN of COMPLEX CHARACTER—MUCH TO NAMI’S RELIEF RIGHT ABOUT NOW. -- “Oh, right, here.” -- And that was that. Nami unscrewed the cap and poured herself some MOONSHINE before adding her orange juice as a mixer. “Anyone else want some? Robin? Vivi?” Eyes scanned over the food. Sanji had prepared a BANQUET—a true FEAST FOR THE EYES. “Hey, Robin, how’s the HONEY-SEARED SEA KING? Looks good.” Yes, she was trying to DISTRACT from the fact that Robin currently had a SECOND HAND growing out of the TOP OF NAMI’S LEFT THIGH, while the FIRST HAND now played with the hem of her SKIRT. Had her legs FIDDLING, SHIFTING, SQUIRMING, FIRING WARNING GLANCES (PLEADING GLANCES?) toward the woman in question. Only to be met with those TWO HANDS grasping her knees and PRYING APART her thighs, leaving ORANGE PANTIES EXPOSED to ANYONE who might happen to look under the table. “Are you trying to make this even more awkward than it already I-IS…? NNGGHH…” The THIRD HAND pulling up her SKIRT as a FOURTH PRESSED TWO FINGERS AGAINST HER CLIT through SOAKING PANTIES gave her the answer. “Nami, are you okay?” came the question from Vivi, prompting a fake SHUDDER and COUGH from Nami. “Y-Yeah, I just put more MOONSHINE in there than I thought.” A FAUX WIPE of her lips paired with a CLEAR OF HER THROAT.

AHEM.

Vivi… chose to BELIEVE Nami. FOR NOW. Though she hadn’t actually SEEN Nami take a SIP of her COCKTAIL, she hadn’t really been paying EXCLUSIVE ATTENTION to Nami prior to that GROAN. Instead, she turned her gaze across to Nico Robin, formerly known as Miss All-Sunday. “And what about you, Nico Robin?” STRESS on the NAME. “How have you been since we last SPOKE?” (FOUGHT.) “I hope you’ve not been too much TROUBLE for Luffy, Nami, and the OTHERS.” BROW RAISED. Seeing her again. And on the VERY CREW she once considered her OWN? Something BITTER stuck in her THROAT. She couldn’t let it SHOW. Not only was this NOT the kind of person she wanted to be, but it went against the PARTING SENTIMENTS she offered to Chaka, Igaram, and Pell. That she had NO PROBLEM with Robin joining Luffy’s crew. Except in those QUIET MOMENTS ALONE on the Thousand Sunny when she considered that it would be HER on this SHIP with them if NICO ROBIN hadn’t HELPED LEAVE HER KINGDOM IN RUIN, forcing Vivi to STAY BEHIND to make what she could of what LITTLE STILL REMAINED.

“Do forgive me if I ever speak out of place. It’s not my INTENTION.” A clear of her own throat. “I will have some, Nami. And the HONEY-SEAR is GOOD. I… I never realized how much I MISSED Sanji’s COOKING.” Within SECONDS of the words falling from her lips, Sanji was on his knees with a BOUQUET OF FLOWERS. (Where’d he even get those?) BEGGING her to be HIS and taste his COOKING FOREVER. A NERVOUS LAUGH fell from her THROAT as she SCRATCHED at the back of her HEAD. “She said she MISSED YOUR COOKING, NOT YOU!” Words screamed by Usopp as he SMACKED Sanji on the HEAD with a… a MALLET!? (Where the HELL did he get—YEP… sure felt like coming HOME…) She let out a BITTERSWEET SIGH, glancing back to Robin and Nami.
