Who fell first, Nami or Vivi?

This is such a great ask,,

The whole thing of "who fell first, who fell harder" doesn't really feel right for these two because I think they're equally crazy for each other. But, when it comes to who fell first... I probably think that Vivi. But it's hard to explain(?

Vivi fell first in the "crush" sense because she's a princess and has never had the time/right to look at other girls that way. So of course, when a hot pirate enters her life, her whole idea of love changes, and she realizes why she wasn't interested at all in all the men who proposed to her. She kept saying it was because she couldn't find the right guy yet and she had other responsibilities, but then she realizes that it's because they were, well, guys. Because Nami steps into her life pretty much suddenly and she's just so nice to her. She's ruthless but sweet and she has a playful and mischievous spot that Vivi isn't used to but adores. She loves all these new experiences and she falls hard for Nami the second they can rest together in between all the Arabasta drama. So it's not really love at first sight, but just a crush and wanting a taste of something she knows won't last because she'll have to stay in Arabasta in the end. I think, though, that during the whole Drum Island incident, Nami getting sick, and Arabasta as a whole, Vivi falls even more for Nami to the point of love. And it's weird because it happens quickly and turns her life around completely. Nami's kindness and the comfort she provides are so breathtaking for Vivi... She's a whole new world. So I think she fell first, yeah.

For Nami, I think Vivi at first is just a pretty girl like all the pretty girls she's been with before and she doesn't have a crush on her right away. She's more logical here, y'know. She finds Vivi pretty but focuses on helping her out and pretty much relates to her experience of losing the power over her home. She likes her, but she knows it won't last because Vivi will have to go back to Arabasta at some point and Nami doesn't let herself fall for somebody/trust them this easily. She flirts with her jokingly the same way she always does with every girl she meets, and because she's just like that. But I think that, when she falls for Vivi, she falls hard. She skips the crush thing to instantly have a bond with her that turns her whole life around and she knows she's completely fucked. Because of course she had to be cliché like that and fall for a princess they're helping go back to her home. Of course Nami would let her guard down with somebody she'll barely see. But damn, she's just beautiful. Perfect. She's kind but brave and she fights for her people and what matters to her the most. She has strong ideals about protecting people and she's also the cutest thing Nami has ever seen and the closest to comfort/home she'll ever be. Nami loves her because she's just that genuine. She's smart but silly and often forgets stuff. She gets involved in their shenanigans and fits in their family so well, that now that Nami has to accept her leave, she can't picture the crew without her.

I think Vivi wouldn't realize she's a lesbian until she meets Nami, and Nami would treat her like any girl she meets until she falls for Vivi. And it breaks my heart to think that they fall extremely hard for each other but then they have to be apart and- Ugh. Besides, they would talk much about their feelings at first because Vivi is insecure about Nami's experience with love life/girls and Nami doesn't want to get too attached to her (happens anyway).

So basically, Vivi fell first as in "having a crush" and Nami fell first as in "being completely head over heels". Vivi would be okay falling for Nami if Nami wasn't a girl, while Nami would be okay with falling for a girl if that girl wasn't Vivi.
