Forever Yours
... My heart pounded with an unfathomed anticipation as he leaned ever closer to me from across the empty table table. I found myself blushing crimson and desperatly wishing that Usopp would look away and mind his own damn buisiness so... HEY!
Sanji glanced up from his writing and sighed. 'Not again...' He thought. "Hello, Luffy." He greeted. The captain was reading over his shoulder.
"HEY!" He cried again, glaring at the screen. "I wouldn't say that!"
"You would in my fanfiction. Now go away." Sanji lit a cigerette to try and get the raven-haired captain out of the kitchen but to no avail. Luffy wasn't budging.
"I wouldn't want Usopp to look away. And if Zoro were leaning across the table to kiss me, I'd probably push him away." Luffy pouted. "So fix it!"
Sanji was, to say the least, shocked. "You'd... what? You would actually push Zoro away if he were about to kiss you?"
"Yes."
The blond blinked. "What? Why?"
"Because I don't love Zoro." Luffy stated matter-of-factly. "I mean, I love him but just in a big-brother sort of way." He explained.
Sanji frowned. "Okay... Then who DO you love in the not big-brother sort of way?" The cook blinked when he realized that he sounded more childish than Luffy on a good day with that last comment.
"Usopp!"
"WHAT!" Sanji fell out of his chair with a loud crash.
"You heard me, I love Usopp." Luffy repeated, leaning over the fallen blond. "Is that weird? Or did you just think it was funny? If so, please don't laugh at me..."
Sanji sat up and covered his mouth with a hand. "I... well... Luffy... WHEN!" Was all he could get out.
"Since we met him, I guess. Nami says that when you love someone you get butterflies in your stomach every time you see him. That happens to me whenever I'm with Usopp." Luffy looked like he was day-dreaming for a moment and Sanji took this time to collect his composure and stand up.
"But, Luffy... Usopp is the liar on the ship and he's, well... not that good-looking."
Luffy blinked. "Sanji, it doesn't matter what he looks like. I love him for who he is."
Sanji's eye twitched slightly. "I can tell..."
"So, do you love anyone on the ship?" Luffy asked, watching as Sanji sat back in his chair to continue with his fanfic.
"... I might..."
"Not Nami, I mean." Luffy corrected himself. "Or Robin; I know you already like them."
Sanji laughed. "Damn straight."
Luffy blinked at that statement. "Erm... Sure."
Sanji sighed a bit and paused in his writing. "What I meant was, you're right."
"Right." Luffy smiled and nodded. He watched Sanji write for a little longer before sticking his finger in the blond's ear. "You still haven't answered my question; besides Nami and Robin, who on the ship do you have a crush on?"
Sanji hesitated. "I'm... not sure."
"Is it me?" Luffy asked, blinking.
Sanji shook his head but not too quickly so it looked suspicious. Luffy believed him.
"Is it Usopp?"
"HELL NO!"
"Okay. Is it Chopper?"
"I'm not all-for the whole species-mixing thing."
"... Then it's Zoro?"
"..." Sanji blushed a bit and stared at the screen.
"So... it is?"
"Yes."
"Good."
Sanji blinked and turned around as Luffy made his way to the door onto the upper-decks. "Hey, that's it? No... details?"
"Nah. I figure that if you like Zoro, you don't need to give me reasons why or even for how long." Luffy smiled back at him.
Sanji hesitated. "Hey, Luffy?"
"Hai?"
"Erm... There's something I should tell you..." Sanji hesitated before getting up and jogging to the captain's side. "You see... Zoro doesn't like me."
Luffy blinked. "What do you mean? Of course he likes you."
"He LIKES me but not the way I want him to." Sanji specified.
"Oh! You mean he doesn't LOVE you." Luffy replied, grinning as he came to his realization.
"Yes. He doesn't LOVE me." Sanji sighed and leaned against the wall of the ship.
"How do you know?" Luffy asked, closing the door quietly.
"Because... He told me he likes you." Sanji muttered.
Luffy blinked. "Well... He can't like ME because I like Usopp!"
"I know, Luffy. Just... don't tell Zoro, okay?" Sanji bit his lip.
Luffy shrugged. "Sure, whatever. I won't tell."
Sanji grinned. "Good. Thanks, Luffy."
"No problem..."
As Luffy left Sanji looked back at his half-finished story. He grinned and snapped his fingers. He had come up with a wonderful idea...
A/N: If I get anymore requests like, say, for a fic where Usopp or Chopper is watching Sanji write then I'll probably update. But not for a while; this was supposed to be a one-shot. Hope you enjoyed, please review!
