Her long blue hair was hard to take care of out of the palace. As a member of a secret organization it was all she could do to wash out the near constant salt and pull it into a ponytail to hide the sad state her new life had afforded her.

First night with the Strawhat pirates she had cried to the point of exhaustion and clutched painfully at her hair. Vivi didn’t have the energy to fight the nimble hands pulling her fingers from the self imposed knots. She looked up blearily as Nami gently brought a brush to her head and worked out the tangles. A kind gesture.

“Don’t. I don’t deserve…”

A bucket of warm water sloshed over her head abruptly shocking her into silence. She pushed a soaked strand of hair out of her eyes and tugged slighted at her bodice to keep it from clinging too tightly against her skin. Her outrage was stopped as steady hands pushed through her hair and began to massage her scalp with a divinely fragrant shampoo.

“You were Miss Wednesday…your hair was damaged, dirty, and reeked of gunpowder and god awful musky perfume. Her failures and pain and sacrifice…I don’t want to hear them. I’m going to bring back the Princess who is going to save her country and has faith in the future.”

Shampoo must have got in her eyes…she was sure she’d finished crying. The navigator smiled and pretended not to notice…instead working the lather further, washing away the past, the day, and restoring the brilliance to the strands with each stroke.

“Why?”

She felt Namis lips hovering over her neck.

“Because you need a prince to protect you…and it’s my turn.”

Vivis’ thin arm pulled the lips to her moist neck.

“I’m glad it’s you Nami.”

This is an amazingly sweet piece! I really like the mention of Vivi's hair being a pain (because, for god's sakes, it bloody well would be!) and Nami's replies.

YAY!!!

I'm glad you liked it! THis one caught me by surprise...it was like suddenly, for a moment, I knew how to write Nami/Vivi.

That someone who has a nami/vivi icon to like it...I am deeply honored!

[slaughterchichi.livejournal.com]

These things happen to me too XD

I'm glad my choice of icon pleased you X3 (here it is again, for redundancy)

I really liked this one--I always wondered about Vivi's hair. It seemed completely and utterly unreasonable for fighting, and Nami and Robin always had the right idea with shorter hair (but when it comes to being reasonable, they have entirely the wrong idea when it comes to clothing). This was really sweet, and a nice throwback to an arc that feels like it happened ages ago.

I agree!

That is sooo true...if it weren't for the fact they haven't randomly thrown Vivi into the Opening or closing for the longest time I would swear it would feel forever ago!

I know! And I only read the manga (have watched a bit of the anime though) so it really feels ages ago--it always seemed like their first big adventure to me, too, so it's all important. Not to mention the scene with the x's on their arms asaho ;;

Also. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I've seen you a lot on the OP Fan for all, right? I just recall reading some of your stuff, but I mayyyyy be mistaken.

OH YES...

I am a opfanforall whore too.

Man I owe tons of stuff for that...gotta get on that.

[oxymoronic3.livejournal.com]

I thought so! I'm a totaly OPFanforall whore. I've spent way too much of my time writing thinsg for it. XD
