A/N: Pre-Water 7.
Theme Table Thingie. When Sanji sighs over her, it’s the foolish crush of a teenage boy, nothing more.
When Chopper is happy to see her, it’s because he’s a sweet child, not because she’s worth being near.
When Nami offers a secretive grin, it’s because girls her age always need a confidant and there’s not another woman for leagues around.
When Luffy offers her friendship and an easy smile with nothing else attached, she forcibly reminds herself that he’s only seventeen, barely a man and still naïve to the ways of the world.
Sometimes, she feels so old.
