We were walking out of the café, having just finished our coffee.

"Trust me, it would please me to walk you two beautiful ladies home!"

After that…discovery, we didn't really talk much about it. We just talked more about random stuff while I tried to not listen or think about the annoying voice that kept nagging me. After we had finished our coffee, the girls wanted to go home to have some alone time, and who am I to deny such a thing? But the voice. Oh dear lord was it annoying. I would do anything to have a distraction for a bit more.

Nami sighed and Vivi put her hand on her shoulder reassuringly. Then she looked at me. "We know, Sanji-kun, but only to the subway alright?"

That look was the easiest thing to understand today. 'I know it's annoying right now, but you need to at least get to know him.' Yes, yes, I will but please just little bit more? I'm not ready to deal with this 3-year old right now.

Hey, you're the one to talk!

"Whatever you wish for, Nami-san~~!"

Yes, I could hear him but not talking back was my main goal here. The ladies had turn around and begun walking towards the subway, hand in hand and I ran up beside them.

"'Hey, Sanji. Hey. Hey idiot, I know you can hear me'." It wasn't long until I snapped.

"Just shut the fuck up already! Oh my God!" I yelled, not aware of my surroundings. I couldn't even count how many weird looks I got from the people at the subway. Bright red, I shifted in my seat. The worst thing though was the mocking laugh in my head.

I hate you so much right now.

After the girls went on their train I was able to ignore him while waiting for mine, thinking about what I should make for the wonderful girls next time we meet. But as soon as I sat down his voice was somehow even louder.

Haha...You're not really good at this "in thought" thing, huh?

Oh, what gave it away? The sarcasm is real.

Well you'll get used to it anyway.

How the fuck do you know so much about this shit? I mean, this only happens once in a person's lifetime, right?

Most of my friends are currently talking to their soulmate.

Well that explains it.

Also, it's kind of a big thing here in Japan.

Yeah, I guess more people believe it in...wait. Did you say Japan?

Yeah? So? I can hear your...thinking...in japanese, so why is that a big deal?

...Well...maybe because I'm french? And you're thinking in french too...?

...Uh...but you're currently in Japan right?

No...? I've never been in the country.

Even though it's one more thing to add to my list of things I don't understand today™, it's nice to share the confusion with this idiot.

...Ok...well, I'm gonna to go ask Robin about it.

Hee, kind of shocking you got friends when such a douche. I snickered quietly.

Pfft, I bet you don't have any at all. You should be happy a kind man like me came along.

Shut the fuck up! I'll let you know that I'm extremely popular with the ladies around these parts!

Those parts of yours doesn't seem that big then. Oh now he's just asking for it.

"Hmpf, I can assure you that my parts are big, bigger than yours for sure."

A few heads turned Sanji's direction when he said that last part and his cheeks heated up in embarrassment for the second time. He gritted his teeth, mentally cursing himself. This was no way of losing his appearance in front of so much people, especially the stunning ladies on his right side that were currently giggling at his outburst. Sanji jerks in surprise when he hears a loud, obnoxious and annoying laugh that he soon realises comes from his so-called soulmate. He scowled and tries to form his words in his head instead of saying them out loud.

…I swear you're the worst thing that has happened to me in months.

But also the best thing.

Can you even realise how close I am to strangling you right now?

Well no, taking in to count that we're probably millions of miles apart.

Oh I'm so done with this guy.

You are literally the embodiment of my hate.

That's not a very nice thing to say, now is it?

Well not in normal cases.

So this isn't normal to you?

Are you retarded?

Last time I checked, nope.

Well I think you should get a new check-up.

Can't, Chopper has finals right now.

Who?

Who's Nami?

…Is he seriously doing this?

Just fucking tell me!

If you tell me who this Nami-san is.

Fine! She's my friend…

And…?

…lesbian…but that has nothing to do with this!

I can really tell those "big parts of yours" are getting some.

Shut up! Now you tell me about this Chopper.

…He's a good kid who's just going to finish school so he can practice on other people than us.

I could tell in his voice that he seems quite fond of this Chopper – almost like a big brother. Now I'm kind of interested in knowing more.

Us…?

Me and the rest of our gang.

Do you want to go into more detail?

…Only if you do the same later.

I might as well try to do this 'talk' thing that Nami wants me to do. Deal.

Alright. One day I suddenly met this idiot who told me to join his "crew" and of course I said no, but then some shit happened and I found myself saying yes. Though it was only us two in this "crew" of his back then, that bastard tricked me. So I just kept hanging with this strange guy with a straw hat.

A straw hat?

Yep. He even named our crew after it – The Strawhats.

That's weird.

If you think that's weird you got a lot coming for you if you ever meet him.

Yeah, yeah, continue the story.

You were the one who asked. Anyway, eventually others that Luffy thought was interesting-

Luffy…that his name?

Yeah. Eventually others that Luffy thought was interesting joined – Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook and Usopp.

Usopp? You mean a Pinocchio-ripoff who's afraid of pretty much everything in life?

You know him? Holy shit.

Shit I haven't talked to him in ages! Ever since he moved to Japan after collage we lost contact.

Hold on a minute…you the blond cook that shared room with him?

I'm a chef.

Whatever. Usopp's been telling us a lot about you.

Oh really? Like how I generously made breakfast and dinner every day?

Yep, like how you're a blond pervert who always chases after girls among other things.

...I'm going to kick his ass all the way to the fucking moon next time I see him.

Actually, he pulled this prank on me yesterday and I've been thinking of a way to get revenge. You got anything?

Well…

Maybe this 'soulmate' thing isn't so bad after all.

A/N: I'm sorry for not uploading anything for so long. I don't really know where I was going with this and I think I won't be continuing this for a while. But I thought I'd at least owe you this tiny chapter me and my friend worked on a long time ago, with some minor adjustments I just made.

Thank you for reading.
