Theme 29 Proposal
He didn't like taking Luffy shopping with him, only because the guy could never sit still. He was always hungry, too, which meant he piled food into the cart without asking Sanji first. A half an hour trip – at most - turned into an hour long disaster.
Sanji scowled as Luffy disappeared again for the third time, presumably down the frozen food section one aisle over. The blonde was trying to find the perfect wine to use for tomorrow night's dinner when his old boss, Zeff, would come to visit. Sanji was dreading it because, once upon a time, Luffy had blown up his kitchen and the old man had never forgiven either of them for it.
The wine he finally decided on was Crozes-Hermitage La Guiraude, the ninth ranked wine of 2011. He set the bottle gently down in the back of the cart, and then turned into the frozen food section to find his wayward boyfriend.
Luffy was standing in front of one of the freezer doors, his hands pressed flat against the glass. There was a little girl next to him, mirroring him, and a disgruntled mother further down the aisle with an older little boy.
"Luffy!" Sanji snapped, grabbing the back of the raven's shirt and tugging him away from the freezers. Luffy gave him a grin and threw his arms around the blonde's shoulders, shamelessly nuzzling into his chin.
The mother huffed in disbelief and forcibly dragged the little girl away from the couple, glaring back at them as they turned the corner. The little girl giggled and waved goodbye.
Luffy hummed and hooked his fingers into Sanji's belt loops, pulling the blonde man in for a little kiss.
"Oi, what have I told you about doing this in public?" The blonde growled half-heartedly, pushing at Luffy's shoulders to get him to back up. The raven just nipped playfully at his jaw line and tugged him closer. Sanji sighed and wound his arms around the other man's shoulders, giving in just this once for a little public display of affection. "What am I going to do with you?" He muttered into the Luffy's hair.
Luffy laughed and pulled away to give Sanji another chaste kiss.
"You could marry me." The smaller man said brightly, hugging Sanji tighter to him, forgetting for a moment that they were in the middle of a grocery store. "Everyone already says we act like a married couple. Why don't we just do it?"
"Luffy." Sanji sighed. He'd been thinking about it for a long time, ever since their second year together, but marriage wasn't legal for them where they lived. He sighed and pulled Luffy back to him, kissing the man's temple.
"I know we really can't. But we've been together so long and everyone else is married and has babies." Luffy mumbled into his shoulder, his fingers tight in the back of the blonde's shirt. Sanji really hated to hear his boyfriend so put-out, but there wasn't really anything he could do.
"The moment it's legal, I'm gonna marry you in front of our friends and family." Sanji told him in a harsh whisper, nuzzling their cheeks together in a soothing manner. "I won't even make you wear a suit." He added with a chuckle.
Luffy laughed and pulled away, giving him one last kiss before stepping away entirely. Sanji went back to the cart, let Luffy throw a box of his favorite fish sticks into the back, and then they moved on to another aisle.
