Nami x Reader ( x Paulie ) , Jealousy

Nami couldn’t help but leer at the blonde that had a never ending blush within your presence. Sure, it was better to frolic and get to know the towns people and shipwrights. After all, they were the ones to fix the Merry Go, right? But the way that one shipwright stared at you with a look of an entangled heart made Nami huff and puff, arms crossed over her chest. 

Why was she jealous, anyways? You weren’t hers or anything, what right did she have to get upset at the way you giggled along with Paulie? Well, that’s what Nami would want to say, turning her back to perhaps go explore the city of water with another of the shipmates. But Nami just couldn’t! No way did she trust you in the company of this man...! 

      “You all really make these from scratch?” You asked, mouth gaping ever so slightly as you stared upward at the large ships that were only half complete within the shipyard. These shipwrights... really were no joke! You turned your head back to look at Paulie, a bright grin on your face. “You sure are amazing, Paulie!”

The man erupted into an endless flow of stuttering, his tan face painted red. If you looked close enough, you could swear Paulie’s cigar smoke pushed itself into a heart, flourishing with affections. You couldn’t help but giggle at his reaction. What a cute man! You hadn’t expected such an intimidating person to act so cutely, almost like a young boy.

    “O-of course we do!” Paulie sputtered out, “it’s all thank to mayor Iceburg that we can do this, t-though..” He trailed off. What was his problem? Paulie never had problems talking to people! i mean- he struggled when it came to scantily dressed individuals but you weren’t showing skin, at least not much. Then- then what the hell was Paulie’s problem? You had no right, making his heart all full and his palms sweaty...!

Paulie could swear his soul jumped straight out of his body from the sudden application of your hand resting upon his arm, almost holding onto him and his denim coat. Nami reacted the same way as she stood afar, her eyes bulging out of her head. What were you thinking? 

    “No need to humble yourself!” You offered Paulie a reassuring smile, a smile that pierced right through his heart. “A pirate like me could never do such a thing..” you spoke softly, looking up at the man, meeting face to face with Paulie’s wide eyes and red face.

”Regardless, you- um…—“ Paulie looked off to the side, “You’re um…very cu- skilled! Skilled…right, yeah.” He nodded, looking down upon you. The mans flustered gaze was enough to satisfy you. Who knew a strong man like Paulie could get so worked up?

You and Paulie felt as if you two were in utopia. Flirting with a man as attractive as Paulie sure was one pleasure! And Paulie found the attention and praise to be intoxicating, leaving a sweet and nearly dizzy feeling inside of him.

But the girl across the shipyard felt a whole different way. Nami always knew she held a close fondness for you, even more so then the other Straw Hats. Sure, Nami loved each and every one of them but with you, it felt more then the platonic care she held for Luffy, Robin and so on. It entered within the feeling of endearment, a true sense of love. And the sight of you being all over Paulie was one that didn’t mesh well with her own personal feelings. That should be her getting all the love, not him!

Nami slowly inched her way towards you two, her ears being infiltrated with the sound of your cute chatter with the shipwright. The sound of your giggles and the sight of your arm draped around him made Nami’s blood boil. Why were you so flirty with this guy? You knew Nami way longer then him… and Nami is waaay cuter!

Your head turned from the sudden click of heels. You lit up further at the sight of the navigator. You let go of Paulie and gave Nami a soft smile.

“Nami, hi!” You chirped happily. The smile that graced Nami’s face was one that you were clueless to. It was a smug expression, one that taunted Paulie’s disappointed face as you fixated your attention on the woman. You were merely oblivious to the bitterness that surrounded you.

Nami flashed Paulie the smuggest grin she could muster, throwing all her pride out into his face. “Y/n! How about you and I go shopping?” She smiled purely at you, hands lingering against your shoulders. Paulie couldn’t help but feel frazzled. Was this girl really… trying to do this? What a witch! With those wicked legs, she was drawing you in via seduction, wasn’t she? That… that nymph!

“We’re a bit busy,” Paulie huffed, taking a drag of his cigar. “Sorry toots, you’ll have to wait.” He shot Nami a glare, one that could cut past her scandalous clothing. His rough and large hands met your arm, holding it ever so gently.

Here you stood, having two mildly attractive people with their hands upon you, exchanging rude glances at one another. Ah, was this truly happening? How could you balance this situation…? It truly was a difficult one. You glanced at Nami and then at Paulie, cheeks pink. You mustered up a smile, one that could dig within the deepest depths of their hearts.

“How about we all hang out?” You suggested, watching the two closely. No way in hell did Nami want to be around this prude! And no way would Paulie casually walk around with a girl such as Nami…! But that face… that smile..

Silence graced the shipyard for a moment, leaving the blonde man to ponder his options. Paulie didn’t want to go but if he didn’t, that wicked woman would have all the opportunities in the world to take you as hers, using her body to pull you in like a fish on a hook. He had to protect you from such indecent behaviour! It was his obligation to, as a man.

The two sighed, as if the same thoughts had been invading their heads for the last few seconds. They really had a mutual distaste for one another, now, didn’t they? “Fine.” Nami and Paulie said in sync, both standing off to the side, Nami’s hands on her hips and Paulie’s arms flat on his sides.

Your eyes sparkled, “Okay!” You mused, reaching out and snatching a palm from each of them, one hand intertwined with Nami’s, and your other hand in Paulie’s clutches. You looked back and fourth at the two, a gentle smile resting on Nami’s face whilst a frazzled and shy expression shook Paulie’s masculine features.

“Where shall we go first?”
