Nami let him go, not wanting to escalate the situation. By his reaction, she could tell he would be doing her tasks if she asked again. Throughout the next few days, Nami used to grin at Zoro, reminding him she owned him for a few days now. The crew didn't notice it much, except perhaps Robin, but she didn't comment on it.
Zoro was always scared around her, he didn't want her telling anyone about what happened. Nor was he looking forward to the next task. He was always living in constant fear of her. Sometimes he wished she would just get it over with already. Every passing day would add more tasks for him. He was somehow making the daily payments, taking debts from Robin. He asked her for the full amount but she refused. She was generous enough to lend him a few days though. He was grateful to her. Robin was curious about what was happening, but after Zoro told her it is something he couldn't share, she didn't ask him again.
He felt a shiver run through his body when he heard Nami's voice behind him. "Let us go shopping, I need some protection in case someone shows up",she was well capable of taking care of herself on the streets, but zoro didn't mind it. At least one task would be gone. Or so he thought, but Nami made it clear on the way that the task is not over till they are back to the ship. His task was to be her servant while she shops. The journey and shopping was uneventful. Zoro felt relieved, it was almost time to return.
"Zoro Kun, I sprained my ankle on the way",she said with a grin on her face.
Zoro knew she was lying, she was walking without any trouble. He held her for support,"Ok, I'll help you". He was wondering if Nami had developed feelings for him and wanted to get closer to him. But he was wrong.
"Not like that, you idiot. That is too uncomfortable for me. Carry me on your shoulders",Nami wanted to push it as much as she could.
Zoro sighed, putting down her bags of clothing and lifting her on his shoulders. She barely weighted anything for someone as strong as Zoro. Nami herself was feeling a little impressed, even though she always knew how strong he was. She felt a rush of power when she sat atop such a strong man, he leaned down to carry her bags. She ruffled his hair playfully, once again irritating Zoro.
"Stop doing that!",Zoro expressed his annoyance.
"Shut up! You are my servant now~",Nami said lighting slapping his lips. It was so embarassing. But fortunately nobody seemed to pay too much attention. People just mistook them for a lovely couple.
"Take off my heels, my feet need some fresh air Zoro kun",she waved her feet.
Zoro just accepted it without saying anything. At first he thought she would remove her own shoes. But soon it became clear to him, that she had no plans of doing it herself. Zoro stopped, putting down her bags one more time. He removed her shoes one by one and continued his journey. He was now holding both her shoes and her bags.
For any other man, it would have been physically punishing to walk that far. But not for Zoro. He was just too strong. But he did feel humiliated, he didn't like people whispering how cute they looked!
Nami didn't tell him directions though. She let him wonder around the town, enjoying the view from a higher ground. More people were starting to notice them now. Nami chuckled when she saw people whom they had already crossed. He was stupid. She could have him do this all day. Eventually he will be tired.
He was too proud to ask before, but it was almost night. "Are you lost, Zoro kun",Nami giggled ruffling his hair again,"Or are you enjoying having me ride your shoulders too much~".
"Shut up! We are not lost. I know the way",Zoro said angrily,"They must have moved the ship".
Nami was dumbfounded by his lack of direction once more. No wonder he was becoming her servant so easily. She started giving him directions nonetheless. She didn't want the others to get too suspicious. Zoro would still go in the wrong direction sometimes, earning a light slap from her on the cheeks, each time. Zoro stopped looking at the onlooker, he couldn't care about their murmurs anymore. They were saying stupid things like 'what a pussy whipped boyfriend' 'this woman has her man under her thumb' etc. Nami on the other hand, loved it. She was beaming proudly on top of his shoulders.
She decided to...
