Kay, you can bring the kids back into the room now ;D

Expressions of love

I slowly come to my senses.
Sanji lays sprawled beneath me, our limbs in a sweaty tangled mass.
We both try to remember how to breath normally again.
Neither of us has the strength to move much.

"Ya dead yet?" I hear from below

"I must be love 'cause that was heavily bliss." I moan contently

Sanji chuckles I feel his lips press a kiss on the top of my head. "You're so cute."

Slowly Sanji and I move to untangle ourselves.
We're sticky and slick with sweat and other various bodily fluids but could really care less.
I remember a quote from a series of books I read once.

'Good sex is like a good cry; If you do it right, it's messy' …. Or something like that.

My head was still light and swirling too much for me to think strait.

I nestle my head on Sanji's chest.
Sanji gently draws his fingers over my arm and shoulder caressing me lovingly.

"That was amazing."

I moan in agreement.

"Nami?"

"Hm?"

"Where'd you learn how to dance all sexy like that? That was hot."

"Vivi taught me."

"Vivi?"

"Yup. That one night we had our girl's night."

"Ah, I remember that. You went through great lengths to keep us out. Not even Ussop could break through your security measures. I would have given my best knife to be a fly on the wall down there that night. "

I giggle "I bet you would have love.
That night Vivi showed me 'The Dance of Lovers'
The dancing girls in Alabasta do it when they like a guy."

"Vivi danced for you like that?"

"Yup."

"Then she showed you how and you danced too."

"We danced together."

Sanji is quiet for a bit.
I know he's turning the image over in his head.
"Damn, that's just the hottest image ever. I would have given my whole set of knives to see that."

I laugh

"The only thing that would make that image hotter would be if you told me passionate lesbian sex between you and Vivi ensued after."

I stay silent.

"Was there?" asked shocked

I blush and burry my face into Sanji's chest not saying a word

"Nami?"

"I honestly don't remember." I say into Sanji's chest "I mean we were really drunk and the whole night was a fuzzy blur after the dancing… It could have happened… but I honestly don't remember for sure…I think we kissed…"

"Was there tongue? Oh tell me there was tongue."

I sit up and Sanji gets a pillow in the face. "You! You're such a GUY!"

Sanji shakes with suppressed laughter. "God I hope so. Ooh, wait let me check."
Sanji pats himself all over ending with his hand on his groin. "Ya, I'm a guy."

He takes another pillow to the face.
Sanji intercepts the pillow and throws it back at me.
I dodge it but realize too late that it was only a diversion and give a surprised screech as Sanji pounces on me.
I'm pined underneath Sanji as he sits straddling my hips holding me like a vice with his strong legs.

I writhe, squirm, wiggle and kick as Sanji tickles me mercilessly.
Laughing hysterically I try to fend his hands away with little success.

"Sanji!" I laugh barley able to catch enough breath to speak "Stop! You're gonna make me wet myself! Seriously! It's too much!"

Sanji stops and leans over to kiss me.

"I love you Nami."

"I love you too Sanji."

We lay cuddling for a while.
Comfy and content in each others arms.

"I still can't believe you growled at me. You were like an animal the way you where looking at me and stalking me all over the room."

Sanji laughs

"It was that sexy dance of yours I still can't believe you danced like that for me. They way you moved your body. It was so alluring and entrancing. It just did something to me I don't know…It was beautiful and sexy and just, wow."

I giggle
"Ya well, I had to do something for you. You had the dinner and the Uber Cake of Love going on. What else did I have?"

"You got me the nice suit and you were the one that paid for my ring. It was pretty pricey."

"Ya I guess. But some how it doesn't seem to compare to the things you do for me."

"Oh Nami. I'm happy just having you with me. And you'll give me greater things later on that could never compare to anything I could ever hope to do or give for you."

I smile. I know he's referring to when we have kids.
God Sanji is going to be a wonderful father.

"Ya, you're gonna owe me big for that... Ooh! I figured out how you're gonna survive if the twins are girls."

"Oh? How's that?"

"Three words: 'Ask your mother.' Any time they come up to you batting their eyes wanting something, before they even start to ask just say 'Ask your mother.' I'll back you up. We'll be a good team you and me."

Sanji laughs and plants another kiss on my head. "I'm sure we will. That's a good plan."

Sanji rolls off the bed and puts on a pair of black cotton draw string pants he pulls from our luggage.
They're loose flowy and hang low on his hips.
They look good on him, very sexy.
Hell Sanji looked sexy in just about anything.
If Sanji didn't have his master culinary talent, he could easily have made it as a male model.
Visions of Sanji strutting down a run way in the hottest fashionable clothing run through my head. Cameras flashing, fans blowing for dramatic wind…"I'm, too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt, so sexy it hurts…"

"Mmmm."

"Nami?" once again I'm drawn out of my fantasy by very the subject of said fantasy. How lucky am I? How many can have the object of their wildest most fanciful daydreams right there in front of them?

"Hmm?"

"I asked if you'd like cake now."

"Ooh!" Not only is the subject of my wet dream standing right before me, he's also offering me cake. Score!

I sit up and wrap the sheets around me as Sanji walks over with a piece of cake for me.
He sits next to and offers me a bite.
I close my lips around the yummy morsel and Sanji pulls the fork out slowly letting it settle on my tongue.
It melts in my mouth and the flavorful confection overwhelms my taste buds.
I'm still and silent as I savor it, mediating on the fact that it's obscenely lusciously delicious beyond all possible reason.
It takes a moment for my brain to register just how amazing the taste is.
The moment it does it I'm on my back twisting and stomping my feet on the bed.

"Oishiii!" I squeal "Soooo good! OMG! Sanji that's fucking Orgasmic!"

Sanji laughs "More?"

I bolt back up in a blink. "Aaah." Opening wide

Sanji chuckles "You're just so cute."

Sanji takes a butter cream rose of the top and places it on my tongue to melt in my mouth.

I give a shuddering moan. "Oh god that's good."

I moan in pleasure and ecstasy with each decadent bite Sanji feeds me.
The cake was soft and fluffy and the filling and frosting was smooth and silky.
It was rich and sweet the flavors of chocolate and vanilla soothing and comforting the caramel turning things up a notch and light hint of tangerine undertone I discover gives it zest and excitement.
The flavor sent euphoric sensations of bliss through me.
Sanji's cake was sex in the form of food.

I knew cake made with love by Sanji was going to taste good, but I hadn't been prepared for it to be this good.
My mind could hardly register the yummyness.
When the last bit was consumed I keel over and curl up in a fetal position squirming, wriggling and moaning in joy and contentment.

"Nami?"

I continue in my inner revelry.

"Nami? You ok?"

I smile and small give a quiet laughing moan.

Sanji leans over me. "Want another piece?"

Oh god if I had another piece now I'd die. It would be a blissful happy death, but I'd die none the less.

"Give me a minute." I breathe

Sanji smiles "I can't help but feel like I'm being cheated on. I mean I know its just cake… but I'm sort of jealous."

I laugh "You have no one to blame but yourself love. You made it."

"I know. That's the irony of it. It's like introducing you to my best friend who you later end up having a torrid affair with... not that you'd do something like that, but still."

I laugh.

"Oh Sanji, don't be silly, just think of it as an extension of yourself. I mean it was made with love from your heart… an expression of your feelings. So by loving the cake I'm essentially loving you too."

Sanji smiles thoughtfully. "Well, if you put it that way…"

I laugh and I pull him down for a kiss.

"Hey you wanna open our present we got from the others?" Sanji asks

"Ooh ya!"

Sanji brings the gift box over.

It's a big one foot square box with the lid and box wrapped separately so all you had to do was take off the lid to open it.
There was a red ribbon tied around it with a big bow.
I pull off the ribbon and Sanji removes the lid.
We look inside.

There are two tiny boxes on top of another medium box.
One of the small boxes is pink the other blue and the medium box is purple

"They really put some thought into this hu?" Sanji comments

"Ya"

I take the small pink box and open it while Sanji takes the blue box.
Inside reveals jewelry cases.
I open mine to find a silver heart pendant with a large keyhole that goes all the way trough.
In Sanji's there's a silver key pendant.

I pull out the purple box and open it.

There's a 9"x8"x6 wooden box.
The wood is polished Cheery and Tiger Maple with a wood inlay of a rose
There's an intricately engraved silver latch on the front with an imprint of an upside down heart with an upside down keyhole.

Sanji and I look at each other then at my heart pendant.

I push my pendant in to the imprint and it fits in with a click.
Suddenly the whole thing starts clinking and turning until the heart is right side up. After which there's sounds of other mechanisms clicking, moving and settling.

I look at Sanji then we both look at his key.

He puts the key into the now upright keyhole and turns it.
The latch pops open.
We look at each other and smile.

"They really put a lot of thought into this." I laugh

We open the box and music starts playing.

There's a card.

"Treasure Box"
Idea and concept by Monkey D. Luffy
Design by Ussop
Construction by Ussop with assistance from the Hanajima Island Guild of Inlayed Wood Box Makers

"Wow, Luffy thought of this." I say impressed.

"Wouldn't surprise me." Says Sanji "He likes cool things like that."

Next inside the "Treasure Box" was something wrapped in rice paper.
I take it out and unwrap a white square piece of cardstock trimmed with gold.
On it is Japanese calligraphy.

Down one side there's a message:

"Kokoro ga nashi Ai ga ienai"
Without the Heart Love can't exist

The kanji Kokoro, heart, and Ai, Love, are done in red.
Next to the message the Kanji Ai is written bigger with the central 'Kokoro'(1) done in red.
Down in the corner is signed script hiragana 'Roronoa'

"Ah that's really sweet. Zoro has a romantic side after all."

"Heh there's hope for him yet." Laughs Sanji

Next Sanji pulls out a scrapbook.
It's white and the binding is laced together with a green satin ribbon.
The title is written in large flowy script:

"A Family History…"

Sanji and I look at each other and smile "Robin." We say in unison.

Inside the first section is to list Family members, Family friends, significant dates, and a page to add a table of contents.
The rest is a journal/ scrapbook
One side is lined to write on and the other side is blank with room for pictures.
On the back inside cover it's signed:

Concept, Design and Composition by Nico Robin and Tony Tony Chopper

"Oh that's so nice."

Sanji and I are moved deeply.
Everyone had put great thought and care into their gifts.

I can't hold back my tears this time "They can be so sweet."

Sanji wraps his arms around me and holds me close. "Ya, they're good people."

I love our nakama.
We were both so lucky to be with these people.

Lucky that fate had made him cross our paths.

"He really saved us, didn't he Sanji?"

"Ya he did."

"To think I didn't want to go with him at first…even to use him."

"Heh, me neither. What an idiot. If he hadn't come crashing in Barate that day, I don't think I ever would have met you." Sanji laughs "When I heard you may not be coming with us I told him '…Then I lose 95 percent of my reason for being here!"

I laugh

"He was the first one to ever come after me for my friendship. He didn't come to get the treasure I stole back, he actually came for me. I couldn't believe it. And you, you hardly even knew me and you helped me too. You were so cool and bad ass. Standing up to Arlong's men like that, I was impressed. I think that's when I secretly started falling for you Sanji…"

"Really!" Sanji perks up.

"Umhm. You had me from the start Sanji; I just didn't know it yet."

Sanji grins " Sweet."

I laugh "We owe Luffy so much."

"Ya."

"If he wasn't so damn inept I'd make him godfather of our children."

Sanji laughs "Ya I thought about that too…I don't know, maybe he'll mature a bit and we'll see."

"Ya, who knows how much he'll grow between now and then."

I get the image of our children playing with "Uncle Luffy": him blown up like a balloon the kids jumping on him like a trampoline.
I laugh.

"What's so funny?"

I share my image and Sanji laughs too.
But then he gets serious of a moment "If he catapults our kids into the Stratosphere I'll fucking kill him."

I laugh and kiss Sanji on his cheek

"We'll deal with that when the time comes. We don't know if he's godfather material yet, but he at least deserves us bringing him back some cake."

"Ya I guess." He looks down at me "You ready for another piece?"

I laugh "You have to have a piece first. It wouldn't be fair if I was the only one enjoying it right now…"

Ooh. Idea…

I get off the bed letting the sheets slip off me and go over to slice a piece of cake for Sanji.I go back and pick off a butter cream rose for him the way he did me…only instead of putting it in his mouth, I 'accidentaly' drop it on my chest.

"Oops." I giggle "Silly me." I go to wipe it up only having it spread over my breasts.

Sanji smiling shaking his head
"I just can't take you anywhere." Sanji says with mock annoyance.

"So sorry." I give a mock pout

Sanji leans into me eyes mischievous and lustful "What am I gonna do with you?"

I hold out my fingers sticky with frosting up to Sanji's lips.
He licks them clean.
I grin wide eyes reciprocating the thoughts of mischief and lustful indentations.

I never want this night to end.

(1) Zoro's gift explanation:

Kororo ga nashi Ai ga ienai.
Excuse my bad Japanese. This is probably grammatically all wrong but it's suppose to say something like,
Without the Heart, Love can't exist.

The kanji Kokoro, is the central part of Kanji for Love. Kororo basically means "heart" but not necessarily heart the organ. It's the Heart in which you feel with. The Japanese believe that this incorporates more than just the heart, but also the mind and soul. So Kokoro refers to the Heart Mind and Soul and the belief that they can't be separated, but always act as one.

To see Zoro's gift, see my profile page

So Zoro's statement is both relative and figurative. You can't really love someone if you don't love them with all of your heart mind and soul…And if you took the Kokoro part out of the kanji for Love, it wouldn't say love any more…in fact it think that is a completely different Kanji…I think I remember seeing a kanji that looked like 'love' just without the kokoro part….I can't remember what it is right now…

Ai is one of my favorite kanji's because it kinda looks like someone with a smiling face
