"PIRATES!"
Not to soon after the firework display some person noticed the Mugiwara crew and instantly informed the marines. Alas, the person yelled out pirates a bit too late, they were already sailed and heading for their next destination…
For some reason Sanji couldn't seem to go to sleep, it was probably because of the horrid food at the festival. It was a rare sight to see Sanji at this moment, he was in clothing other than his regular atire. He wore nothing but a muscle shirt and pajama pants with the distinct design of random foods. Leaning his arms over the rail as the moon set a shine onto the water he sighed, looking out into the open. He looked up as soon as he heard the creaking sound of the wooden door opening.
"..Sanji?"
Sanji turned his head to see nobody other than Nami.
"Ah..Nami-swan.."
Sanji was a bit too lazy to do his regular way of greeting her.
"You can't sleep either?"
Sanji shook his head and looked back onto the sea, his mind racing as well as his stomach. Nami steped next to him, leaning her arms on the rail as well.
"I've been thinking something lately.." Nami said softly
"What is it?" Sanji asked.
"…What do you think of me?" She asked in the most soft voice.
Sanji blinked. The question seemed to come out of nowhere. He didn't know exactly how to answer it and with Nami's eyes not looking away from his was not helping.
"I…er.."
"Your feelings for me went away…didn't it..?" Nami asked, her voice trembling.
"No! No! It's not that, I—"
"Then prove it.."
Sanji had a puzzled look on his face. Nami took a step closer to him, looking up to him.
"..Kiss me.."
Nami pushed her head towards his, Sanji didn't move his head an inch. She was so close, close enough for him to count the eye lashes on her, close enough to feel her breath against his skin. Sanji then pulled away, looking to the floor.
"I….I can't.." Sanji said softly
Nami just stood there and bit at her bottom lip, tears beginning to swell up in her eyes.
"I'm sorry.."
Nami just turned away hurried back down into the ship. Sanji reached out his hand as she left.
"Nami!…Damn it!"
He curled his hand into a fist and hit the rail, a slight crack forming in it. He sighed and leaned his back onto the rail, sliding down and hanging his head down, lifting his hands to place it on his head to go into an extensive thought.
"Wake up, Sanji!"
Sanji opened his eyes, his vision blurred slightly. Rubbing his eyes he looked up to Luffy, he then felt a sharp pain at his neck and rubbed at it.
"Ow.."
Luffy grinned.
"That's what you get for sleeping on the floor!"
Sanji looked around, he was still at the same spot at last night. Standing up he stretched his limbs and itched at his belly.
"It's brekfast time, Sanji..go cook!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Not so loud.." Sanji muttered, making his way down into the kitchen.
He let out a soft sigh, walking down the steps, each creaking and looked up into the kitchen, seeing everyone was already sitting, glaring at him, including Luffy. Sanji rubbed the back of his neck.
"You guys do know that I brought some food from the festival right?"
"WHERE!" Everyone said at once.
Sanji pointed to the large cubard and everyone made their way to it, not caring to get any dishes and ate with their hands.
"Pigs.." Sanji said.
"They are.." said a voice.
Sanji jumped at the feeling of some ones breath on his neck, turning around he looked up to Robin.
"Robin..!"
"Hello, Cook-san.." Robin said with a slight smile.
Sanji's bottom lip then trembled and he threw himself into her arms, crying silently. Robin but lifted her arms and rested them on his head, gliding fingers through his golden hair, keeping the same smile on him.
Luffy and Chopper looked up to see the two hugging.
"Sanji must be cold with those clothing, Robin is pretty nice to provide warmth." Luffy said with his mouth full.
"LUFFY! STOP STEALING MY FOOD!" Chopper yelled, jumping onto the captain.
Robin stood there, awaiting for him to finish. Sanji then sniffled, looking up to her.
See authors note.
"Come with me.." Robin said, grasping Sanji's hand and walking out of the kitchen, making their way into the living quarters.
"Ah..I see.." Robin said, looking concerned.
"Yeah..and I don't know what to do.."
"Cook--- Sanji…you do know that Nami is with Zoro?" Robin said.
"I…WHAT!" Sanji said, instantly looking shocked.
Robin nodded.
"They have been together for a while, actually."
"Bu-bu-bu.." Sanji babbled, then taking a deep breath and going back into an extensive thought.
Robin tilted her head.
"What is it?"
"If she and him are an item, why did she try to kiss me?" He asked.
"It's best you should ask her.."
"You know what, I will!" Sanji said with triumph.
Later…
Sanji awaited for the right moment. Everyone was doing their own thing once again and Nami was all alone. Sanji made his way to her and took a seat on the chair next to her beach styled one.
"Nami.." Sanji said softly.
She acted as if he wasan't there.
"I know about you and Zoro."
Nami sat up and looked around, trying to see if anyone else heard.
"H-How did you find out?" Nami said with surprise.
"Doesn't matter, the question is that if you're with him, why did you try that last night."
Nami took a deep sigh and blushed slightly.
"Well.."
"Well what?" Sanji said.
"I seen you and Robin that day…making love.." Nami said softly.
Sanji raised his curled brow, blushing as well.
"A-And…" Nami's voice began to tremble, seeming as if any moment she would cry.
"Wh-When me and Zoro make love..he doesn't put any emotion into it, he just gets his way with me and walks off..no kissing, no love..no nothing.."
Sanji was at a loss for words. Nami just looked up to him, the bottom of her eyes watering up.
"GUYS!" Usopp suddenly yelled, opened the door from the living quarters.
Everyone on deck looked to him.
"What is it?" Luffy asked from the ships head.
"EMERGENCY, COME SEE THIS!" Usopp yelled, making his way back down into the ship.
Sanji looked to Nami and stood up, running down into the ship, following Usopp.
