And I made it just before deadline! Yeah baby~! I may be slow but it is done (or as done as it's gonna get).

The contest is being held by and the theme is "A Passionate Encounter in the midst of summer", thus the title. For more infos on the contest read [here].

I had alot of trouble trying to come up with something for this contest, knowing only that I had to at least do this pairing for my submission. There was one attempt I later discarded completely because it just ended up looking strange and another looked cute but not fitting for the theme, so I did what any despret person in need would do; I asked for help. Not having any ideas I asked a female family member who loves fluffy romantic stuff for ideas of what could represent a "romantic encounter" visually. After a few moments they started describing poses between two people that would fit and this was one of them. I had to try it and it came out being the best idea ever.

I must hand it to her, despite knowing nothing about fandom, she sure knows her romantic fluff. :'3


The characters, Luffy and Nami, belong to Eiichiro Oda, creator of the series ONEPIECE.
The fanart was drawn by me.
