Early morning on the Sunny was generally quiet. Sanji nodded a hello to Shion as she entered, she nodded back absently yawning. Shion was always up as early if not earlier then the cook, though Sanji would not call her awake by shape or form, at least not until she was through breakfast and at least one cup of coffee. Franky had joked more then once that maybe she was a cyborg like him, only instead of Cola as fuel she used coffee. A comment that usually earned something thrown at him by the purple haired woman.

Sanji took a sip of his own coffee and proceeded with breakfast. "Above you." He said reaching above where Shion was standing guard over the coffee machine, one cup already in hand.

Shion blinked the sleep out of her eyes. "Sorry Sanji..." She turned "What did..." Shion realized she'd seriously mis-judged the distance between them as her nose was inches from Sanji's rather impressive chest.

Sanji froze, when she suddenly turned and ended up pressed against him. He looked down into her startled eyes. Shion's cheeks flushed bright pink and she bit her lip. Sanji slowly lowered his arms, flicked his cigarette into the ash tray with one hand while sliding his other under her chin and gently pressing his lips against hers. Shion stiffened in shock for only a moment, then closed her eyes and returned the kiss. The kiss didn't break even as Shion put her cup down and slipped her hands over Sanji's shoulders. Sanji's hands went to her waist, pulling her closer.

He'd wanted to do this for so long, this kiss seemed different from the small brushes of lips they'd shared in the past. He broke the kiss just long enough lift her up onto the counter, returning to her lips. Unable to get enough.

Shion wrapped her legs around the cook when he lifted her to the counter. She knew they should probably stop this, any one could walk in at any time...not to mention there was just something a little dirty feeling about about doing this in a kitchen...where the whole crew ate. They're kiss had deepened by this point, Shion let out a small sound as Sanji ran a hand over her back and under her breast. Sanji made a growling sound in response, pushing closer to her as her tongue warred with his over dominance of the kiss. They made no other move to touch one another aside from where their hands were placed now.

"SANJI! BREAKFAST!" Luffy demanded as he kicked in the galley door. Shion and Sanji both broke apart as if burned. Well that was one way to kill a mood. Luffy took one look at them taking in their breathing, the rumpled state of their clothes and the deepened blush on Shion's face before he snickered and grinned. "About damn time," He turned to the door. "HEY SHION AND SANJI FINALLY MADE OUT!"

Shion's punch and Sanji's kick sent him flying. He sit the ground and sat up right away, rubbing his jaw.. "OWWWW"

"You were expecting..what to happen...exactly?" Usopp pulled his Captain up.

Breakfast was spend with Shion fending off Nami and Brooke's teasing and Sanji pretending Franky was not constantly giving him thumbs ups and winks or that Zoro kept smirking at him and subtly making explicit gestures (he'd have to kick the bastard into next week after breakfast). Chopper asked what Making Out meant, Robin promised to tell him later and Usopp begged her not to. Over all the morning was relatively normal and the crew taking it better then he'd expected them to.

Finally after the food was done Sanji threw them all out of the kitchen and started on clean up. Seeing Shion still sitting at the table he joined her. "That has to be the singluar most embarrassing moment of my life." Shion moaned.

"They took it rather well..do you...regret..." Sanji gestured between them. "You know."

Shion's head shot up. "No, of course not! I just wish it hadn't been Luffy to walk in on us...we are NEVER going to hear the end of this."

Sanji chuckled and put and arm around her shoulders, drawing her in for another kiss. This one he kept quick but gentle, lest they have a repeat of earlier, especially now that there would be spies about trying to catch them at it again for more amunition the next time teasing was needed. Shion kissed him back, leaning her head on his shoulder after you.

"I missed this." Shion sighed,

"Missed what?"

"This..." Shion put an arm around his waist. "You and me, I missed it."

Sanji smiled softly down at her. "Me to."
