[ Luffy sleeps over a lot, which is exactly how Nami likes it, for a number of reasons, only some of which pertaining to the fact that she feels better when she knows where he is. Moments like this one are a big plus as well, when, after Shanks made his interest in the both of them more than clear, the afternoon she and the older pirate spent trying to track down Luffy, Nami has an idea for how to continue Luffy's birthday celebrations for a little longer.
It's late morning when she waits for Shanks to show himself up to her suite, lingering by the hidden door to her private set of rooms to let him inside once he's gotten through the rest of the space.
Once she hears the familiar sound of his footsteps just outside, Nami slides open the hidden panel that reveals the set of rooms she's claimed for herself and presses a finger to her lips, indicating that he should be quiet. ]
He's still asleep. [ She whispers. ] I say we see if he'll let us join him.
[ Nami tilts her head in the direction of her bed, partially exposed to the ocean beyond and gives Shanks a little smile, before taking a few steps in that direction, waiting for him to follow. ]
[ His lips curl into a smile as soon as the hidden door opens and he sees Nami's face. He follows her through. ]
[ Shanks softly chuckles and nods his head, but not without whispered commentary, of course. ] Have to get boundless energy from somewhere.
[ There is no hesitation as he follows Nami, though he pauses to remove his cloak and set it aside, safely. It's a level of trust - Nami and Luffy more than know about the left arm situation - and comfort, but also, an inclination he wouldn't have been wearing it long, anyway. ]
[ Shanks follows Nami's intent, but on the other side of the bed. ]
( All in all it's been a great day, considering he's not on his ship or celebrating with his crew on the waves. There's even been a (heart)butt-shaped steak and other assorted foodstuffs sent his way!
He's unaware of any plans the redheads in his life may be making, or the fact they're sneaking into the room where he's currently sleeping, lightly snoring away on the comfortable bed. Nami's rooms are impressive, but ultimately the allure of a sleep had been too much in the end. )
Pass the chicken......
( Luffy's comment is mumbled as he walks through his dreams, voicing his request out loud as he begins to snore lightly again. )
[ Smirking at Luffy's sleepy request, Nami looks from him to Shanks, tilting her head at the other side of the bed as she moves closer to the edge she's already standing by, motioning for him to follow suit. ]
Luffy– [ She starts as she climbs into bed, her voice low as she worms her way under one of his arms. ] Shanks is here, we wanna get in bed with you.
[ The bridge of her nose bumps Luffy's jaw affectionately, trying to nudge him awake while she waits for Shanks to join them. ]
(In the end, everyone could be considered pieces of talking meat. But luckily Luffy doesn't pick up on what Shanks says, burrowing slightly into his pillow as he feels his bed dip under Nami's weight, committed to a post-birthday meal sleep.
That is until he feels the touch of Nami's nose at his jaw, hears how Shanks could possibly be wanting to get into bed too. Wait, what—
Luffy's eyes open to a squint just as Shanks settles in, the young man unable to contain the slow grin on his face. A lot of the time this place gets a curse or three when Luffy is certain no-one else is around to hear him. But on rare occasions, like this, he's got no complaints whatsoever and he shifts to make room for them both.)
[ Nami also doesn't mention that the pieces of talking meat to person pipeline is likely alarmingly short in her captain's eyes, as she's far too busy with snuggling against Luffy to want to. Reaching across so she can settle her hand on Shanks' side after he joins them, and hug them both, Nami's head lifts as Luffy finally rouses, a quiet laugh escaping her at the question. ]
Probably not. There are no snacks, after all.
[ Well, that's not entirely true, and the slight grin she gives them both suggests she knows it. ]
Definitely not dreaming. [ Shanks confirms with a chuckle. ]
[ He moves in tighter at the feel of Nami's hand. ]
[ And to Luffy, Shanks nuzzles against his cheek, lightly. ] Though, now I have to ask. You have dreams like this, Luffy?
[ He's full of curiosity about that. Because, well, if that's the case, maybe he and Nami can literally fulfill a dream. And yes, he knows full well what Nami means. Shanks gives her a hopeful smirk, in return. ]
( Luffy's eyebrows raise at the snacks comment, his amused expression aligning with Nami's in that there's definitely some snacks in his bed right now. But he doesn't need to say it either as he knows Nami's thinking the same thing.
It's all too easy to enjoy the proximity of both, basking in the warmth of their bodies and giving a small nuzzle in return as he mulls over the question Shanks puts out there. Has he dreamed of this? Absolutely, ever since arriving at the resort when boundaries quickly dissipated his dreams have run rampant with imagination, knowing no bounds. )
Yeah, though if you ask me it's kinda hard to remember the specifics.... ( It's more a tease than anything as he slides an arm around Nami's side, wondering if Shanks will catch the hint. Shame? What is that? )
[ She doesn't gamble her money freely, but she would lay money on the fact that Luffy probably remembers at least a handful of those specifics. As if to punctuate her captain's challenge, she lifts her eyebrows playfully at Shanks before ducking her head to hide her face against Luffy's neck. ]
Maybe if we keep you awake, they'll start coming back to you. [ She murmurs before biting at him gently. ]
( Shanks chuckles as he starts to nuzzles against the other side of Luffy's neck. He imagines Luffy might remember a few details, and he is a bit curious. )
Are we not already started? ( He gives Nami a mischievous smile, then nips Luffy's ear. ) Regardless, I've been up for it, for a bit. ( Which up he means is left up to debate, at the moment. )

If we register in his dream, now, we might just be pieces of talking meat.
( His eyes leave her to refocus on Luffy and the bed as he settles in next to him. Then he leans in close to Luffy's other ear. )
Luffy, happy birthday.
