[Okay, she might have a point. Sitting still and quiet isn't really something he's known for, not for very long. And probably not with Nami right there with him.
He does enjoy the way her fingers feel through his hair though, and the way she fits in against him. His fingers brush over her arm, smiling to himself when he sees the flush starting to rise to her cheeks.]
My hat? Is it? [That's-- maybe not what he was expecting to be included in on, but it gets him to huff out a soft chuckle. He's not displeased with that idea.]
[ Nami looks up at his face, bending her arm so she can take his hand instead. ]
It wouldn't exist if you hadn't helped me, after all.
[ She doesn't like to think about what would have happened to her had she not had friends when Arlong double-crossed her and pulled the rug out from under her feet. Thankfully she never has to find out, and she's grateful for that, grateful for Luffy, for so many reasons. ]
[ That's an understatement. Nami shakes her head and turns towards him, reaching up to touch his cheek while she leans in and kisses him again. ]
Not something we need to worry about happening again though. I'm here for good. [ It's still crazy to imagine she's been given this chance, and that her life is finally her own, after what feels like too many years with that notion far out of reach. ]
[ Her expression softens when he turns to kiss her palm, leaving Nami smiling fondly at Luffy as he mentions her map. ]
And you're going to be king of the pirates, and I'll be with you every step of the way.
[ If the first steps of this journey were anything to go off of, it's likely going to be one hell of a time too, but the idea of getting to watch Luffy fulfill his life's ambition while she draws out the route they took to get there makes her feel happier than she thinks she's been in a long time.
Nami looks off to the side, glancing over the edge of the crow's nest to the sky she can see beyond, a little smirk curving over her lips in consideration. ]
So– [ She glances back to Luffy, raising her eyebrows at him. ] What are the things you do in bed you'd call out? [ Ah, a return to the original point of this conversation. ]
[He hopes, at least. Just because he's king of the pirates doesn't mean he's not going to need his very talented navigator and-- whatever else they are. He doesn't really want to think about life without Nami, actually.
But that train of thought is easily derailed when she asks that. He laughs and gives her a look.]
I don't know... Shouldn't you decide that? Which things do you enjoy the most?
[ It shouldn't, but hearing him mention their staying together even after they've both managed to accomplish their dreams makes her blush and duck her head out of habit, though Nami stops herself before she can hide her face completely. ] And after. [ She echoes quietly, smiling to herself, enjoying how good it feels to be wanted in this way.
Nami laughs at the question and scrunches her face as she considers. ] You'd definitely yell something when you jumped into the bath with me. [ It made a mess but deep down she loved it. ]
Not when you make me come with your mouth, though I love that a lot. [ She tilts her head back, humming thoughtfully. ]
[Of course he wants her around, as long as she wants to be around. Trying to picture his future without Nami is... getting harder by the day. All of his crew have their dreams, and he wants to see them accomplish them. He wants the same for Nami -- and maybe one day, that will mean they'll part ways.
But he can hope not. Especially when she agrees with him like that. He leans in to press a soft kiss to her temple.
... But he has to laugh at the mention of the bath.] We should do that again. Take a bath together. [.. with fewer wet clothes and a mess to clean up after, maybe. Or maybe a shower? A shower could be even more fun.]
It is a little hard to yell when my mouth is busy. [He ducks his head briefly before his arm tightens around her, giving her an affectionate squeeze.]
I don't think I've disliked anything you've done, Nami. You'd be screaming a lot...

I'm glad I was there to help you.
[Glad that he didn't leave like she insisted. He just-- couldn't. He couldn't walk away from people who need help, or from Nami.]
And I'm glad that you're here with us now. It didn't feel right with you gone, you know.

[His hand slips up to cover the one she has against his cheek, turning his head enough to press a kiss to her palm.
Whatever else that's happened since -- he's happy for Nami. She gets to do what she wants. Gets to follow her dreams.
He's just glad those dreams have her on the ship still, if he's honest.]
And you're going to get to finish your map.
