Chapter 6
To Luffy and the others, whatever Nami had yelled at Sanji about had changed his entire attitude practically overnight. His happiness seemed to have doubled to the point where nothing bothered him in the least. Not even Zoro's brusque attitude or Luffy's lack of self-control when it came to eating. Sanji wouldn't even complain when Usopp would take kitchen supplies for his bizarre concoctions and inventions. Only a smile would be on his face. No one could complain though, now that the cook had become much easier and pleasant to live with. Nami could feel a small smile whenever she saw how ecstatic Sanji had become. Everything had gone back to normal, if not better than normal.
oOo
One particular morning Nami entered the kitchen yawning and stretching a bit, ready for breakfast. Surprise had splayed across her face when she had passed over the threshold to find an exquisite banquet laid out for her. Sanji was standing next to the table beaming.
"Sanji-kun? What's all this for?" Nami gaped. Sanji smiled at her tenderly.
"For you, my beautiful Nami-san." He replied simply. Nami felt her face redden.
"You didn't have to do this…" She said timidly. Sanji kept beaming.
"I want my Nami-san to know just how wonderful she's made me feel." He explained. Nami smiled warmly.
"Hee hee, you're so sweet." She said kindly. Sanji stepped forward and took her hand in his.
"Come sit Nami-san." He urged, leading her to a chair. Nami sat down and Sanji pushed her chair in slowly.
"There you go Nami-san." He said politely.
"You're such a gentleman." Nami giggled. Her laugh made his heart flutter. Sanji felt he could dance or break into song.
"Oh Nami-san! The light of your goddess-like smile brings shame to the sun's own rays! For one so lowly as I such beauty granted upon my eyes is truly a blessing from Heaven itself!" Sanji sang passionately. That statement made Nami laugh again.
"You're so ridiculous!" She giggled. Sanji stared at her and leaned down towards her, his lips against her ear.
"You think I don't mean that…?" He whispered, his warm breath running over her skin. Nami stiffened and her face flushed. Sanji raised his lips from her ear, his fingers gently turning her chin towards him. A tender smile was on his face as he smoothed the hair from her forehead. Leaning down again he kissed her forehead softly. Nami was wide eyed and could feel her insides turn to ice. Sanji moved away and smoothed her hair.
"Nami-san, I mean all that I say to you. You've made me the happiest man alive." Sanji said, still keeping his tender smile. Nami's eyes were low, a timid smile on her face.
"I'm glad…" She murmured. Sanji moved away from Nami and around the table to his own seat.
"You should eat Nami-san!" He urged. Nami bit her lip, looking at the assortment of small cakes and pastries.
"I can't decide what to try first…" She said shyly. Within a second, Sanji pushed a small plate toward her with a particularly delectable looking slice of cake.
"This one, I know how much you love chocolate." He grinned. Nami took up a small fork and cut a corner of the dark slice. Dark chocolate bread and bits of chocolate made up the cake and was topped with a layer of crème and shavings of fudge. The final touch was half of a strawberry. Nami cut a small corner and studied the small portion on her fork then engulfed it. The taste was phenomenal. It was sweet but lush and the bread was moist and warm. Her taste buds had either entered heaven or had an orgasm.
"Mmmm! Sanji-kun, it's delicious!" She exclaimed, chewing and savoring the blissful palatability. Sanji's face lit up.
"Hai Nami-san? Truly?" He asked, an elated smile on his face. Nami was smiling and nodding, cutting another slice.
After several minutes of feasting on the pastries, Nami stopped and looked at Sanji, noticing he hadn't eaten anything. Now and again, he'd only ask if she approved of his cooking or not.
"You haven't tried anything." Nami observed.
"It's all for you Nami-san." He smiled.
"Well, I want to share." She said curtly. Scooping a small portion of custard, Nami leaned toward him smiling.
"Open up Sanji-kun." She grinned. Sanji sighed with a smile and fulfilled her request. She slid the fork over his tongue. His mouth closed and she withdrew the utensil. Rolling the smooth treat around his mouth, Sanji smiled at her and swallowed.
"I already know that you like it." Nami said amiably. Sanji gazed at her.
"Of course I do. It's sweet, just like you." He said charmingly.
"You don't stop do you?" Nami laughed.
"Why should I?" He replied coolly. Never before had Nami had such an enjoyable meal.
oOo
Sanji's affection for Nami flourished freely, now that he was able to admit his feelings to her. However, Sanji had a feeling Nami was only returning his affection with courteousness, which let him know she hadn't decided how she felt about him. Still, Sanji desperately wanted to know if she loved him at all. He chose not to pressure her for an answer, knowing she would tell him in her own way and in her own time. Instead of obsessing over the matter, Sanji enjoyed the time they spent together. Mostly, he would bring her pastries to nibble while she worked on sea charts, giving her a small break to rest her fingers and mind. Sometimes Sanji would leave her be but more often she'd stop and they'd have a small conversation. In the evenings, Nami would sit in the kitchen, keeping him company, and drinking coffee and talking with him cheerfully.
Despite how innocent Sanji's time with Nami seemed, he could feel the proverbial desires start to burn in him. When she'd snack on his cakes, he'd stare enraptured as her small tongue licked the cream from a spoon. It was even worse when she had a cherry or a strawberry and was sucking the juice from it. Whenever that happened, a friend in his pants wanted to say hello. Sanji even had the guilty pleasure of massaging her shoulders whenever she was taking a break from her work and was fortunate enough to have a rather enticing view down the front of her shirt or tank top.
Sanji's desire for Nami was beginning to get the better of him. Dreams of her began to torment him again. They were becoming merciless and Sanji was tempted to show Nami how he felt about her in his dreams. All he needed, desired, was the right moment.
