Hello! I'm sorry this is late!
I would like to tell you all that I might not be updating as much because real life sucks so I can't write fanfiction all the time. I'm really sorry! *bows*
Endamame* the green beans that Japanese people eat. It's green and kinda fuzzy like Zoro's hair I guess?
Disclaimer: I own nothing. If I did my life won't be shitty.
Sami looked up from a rack of clothing she was looking at, she had felt her 'protect little brother' sensor go off.
"Sami? Is something wrong?" Nami noticed her friend suddenly get distracted and stare at nothing in particular.
"No, it's not me, it's my brother." Sami replied, before smiling slightly.
"Sanji-kun? Why? Do you sense danger?" Nami was immediately alert, unconsciously reaching for her Clima-Tact.
"No it's not that either, it's just I believe my little San-chan would have some rather confusing problems in the future." Sami smirked over at Nami and Robin. "Some romantic ones, I believe."
This caught the attention of the other two companions and they smirked as well.
"Is one of problems a certain green-haired idiot?" Nami inquired, when she gained a nod from Sami she huffed. "About damn time, I'm sick of seeing those idiots pulling at each other's pig tails like little boys trying to figure out why they like girls."
"It was interesting to find out that Cook-san was bisexual." Robin added thoughtfully. "I believe they would be perfect for each other."
"I'm glad I'm not the only one who ships those two." Sami smiled before frowning slightly. "But I feel a little sorry for Edamame*. San-chan is not an easy person to win over; lost child's going to need to do a lot of work with that one if he wants him."
"Edamame?" Robin looked over at Sami before smiling. "It suits him."
"I know right?"
"How is Sanji-kun not easy to win over?" Nami asked, frowning slightly. "I always thought he was a romantic person at heart and would fall in love very easily. He seems to have fallen in love with me and Robin before."
"While yes, San-chan is romantic, his love to most people is mainly platonic." Sami replied. "I've said before, him now is not that different from his past self. His past self was just a bit more subdued with his feelings and not as flamboyant as he is now. With his old memories back, he probably gained some qualities of his old self as well."
"That is true." Robin remembered the simple, but still happy, morning greeting he had given to her this morning. "He's seems to have changed his attitude towards Navigator-san and I into something more like a love for a sister."
"He still loves us but it's just not romantically." Nami concluded. "He's never actually done anything to us that made us truly uncomfortable either. He's always the first one to see if we're unhappy and would try to cheer us up."
"That's just his view on helping women in his own way shining through." Sami smiled. "However with actual gaining of a partner is where it's a completely different case. Foxes have a tendency to have only one mate in their whole life. If their mate ever dies before them, it is most likely that they will die along with them out of heartbreak."
"That's so sad." Nami said, before suddenly looking a Sami with questioning eyes. "Wait, since you two are both fox demons does that mean…?"
"Yes, if we ever gain a lover, it would be our lover for life." Sami smiled sadly. "That's why Sanji would be hard to win over, not only is he dense as hell when it comes to his own love life, he is also afraid. He's not afraid of committing himself but more so about whether if the other would leave him. I'm paranoid too when it comes to finding a special someone. Once we love a person, we can no longer love another."
"But Swordsman-san is an extremely loyal person." Robin pointed out. "Once he dedicates himself to something he will stick with it for life. If Sanji is also one that is also committed, wouldn't those two suit each other perfectly?"
"The rest is up to them. Both are more stubborn than a mule when they want to be, but both seem accepting of the fact of liking the same gender so we're already halfway there." Sami replied, doing a small fist pump in the air. "But from what I've seen of the swordsman, it appears that he's as dense as my baby brother when it comes to their own love-life."
"Looks like we're going to have to change that." Nami smiled, earning identical ones from Sami and Robin in return. Looks like operation 'Get Fox and Marimo together' is now in action.
Sanji sneezed. Is someone talking about me behind my back? He thought as he rubbed his nose. I'll think about it later, I have a different problem right now.
"Hello? Earth to marimo brains?" Sanji waved his hand in front of Zoro's face. He huffed, the stupid muscle head been staring at nothing for the last 5 minutes. Sanji had no idea what the swordsman was thinking but it did not seem very healthy considering that the swordsman was going red in the face. Finally the last of Sanji's patience snapped, he moved his mouth near the swordsman's ear, took a deep breath and…
"SOMEONE TOOK YOUR SWORDS!" Sanji shouted in Zoro's ear. Zoro immediately snapped out of it and jumped away, holding his ear and glared at Sanji. Well, it worked Sanji thought.
"Don't do that." Zoro growled. "And never ever touch my swords."
Sanji rolled his eyes. "I know, I would never touch your swords, it was just the only way I could get your attention. Also do you need to see Chopper? Your face is red."
At this Zoro immediately faced the opposite direction and began walking towards the bathroom to wash his face and calm to himself. "How can you get lost on your own ship? The bathroom's the other way." Zoro stopped again before grudgingly walking in the right direction. After a little bit, Sanji decided to follow him to the bathroom.
When Zoro noticed Sanji in the same room as him, he grumbled and looked off to the side and folded his arms. "Oh my god, you're actually sulking. The great Roronoa Zoro is sulking." Sanji laughed disbelievingly.
"Shut up."
"And now you're pouting, well that's just peachy." Sanji sighed in annoyance at the childish swordsman who blatantly ignoring the cook. Sanji sighed again. I apologize to all the cooks that were on The Orbit if this is how I acted like back then. Well, if he's acting like a child let's see if we can control him as a child.
Sanji began to walk towards the door and called over his shoulder. "Well, if you want to sulk, that's fine. I was going to show some more songs that I remember now on the piano and I also know how to play the saxophone as well, if my memory serves me right and most definitely will."
As Sanji began walking towards the music room he heard the tell-tale sound of heavy boots walking across the deck. The owner of the boots seems to be trying to be as quiet as possible but with Sanji's heightened hearing the swordsman could be as quiet as an assassin but Sanji can still hear him. The marimo really is a child. Sanji smiled, pretending he didn't hear the swordsman. To think that the 'Demon' who usually makes marines piss their pants out of fear can be swayed like a child.
As Sanji walked into the music room again he looked around to see if there's a saxophone. Sure enough near the piano the saxophone was leaning against the wall, Sanji thought for a bit before going towards the piano and sitting down. As Sanji was thinking about what song he wanted to play, Zoro had quietly entered the room and lent against the wall to listen. Why did I come? Sure there's the possibility that I might actually like the cook but that doesn't mean I should follow around like a duckling. Zoro thought, disappointed in himself. I can't do this; it's a sign of weakness… I think? I mean all I feel is warm and fuzzy when I'm around the idiot-brow, it doesn't feel bad, it actually feels… nice… ok, yeah no use lying to myself, I have a crush on the idiot. At this realisation Zoro groaned loudly and banged his head against the wall, gaining a strange look from Sanji.
"…Are you ok there?" Sanji asked. "Actually, do I even want to know?"
"Why you?! You of all people!" Zoro cried pointing accusingly at Sanji as if blaming him for everything (in away the cook is to blame).
"What about me?!" Sanji shouted back, slightly insulted at the accusing tone of the swordsman. The only reply he got was a furious blush on the swordsman's face. Seeing this ceased all insults Sanji had created in his head instead made curious about what the swordsman was possibly thinking.
"Do you have any requests?" Sanji asked the swordsman. "Just say what type of music you want and I'll chose one to play."
"Play something like what you played before." Zoro replied immediately. Sanji felt a sweat drop and shook his head but all the while trying to hide a smile at the typical answer form the simpleton of a swordsman.
"Fine then. I'll play 'Kiss the Rain' don't even try to make fun of the name."
Soon the sound of Yiruma on the piano rang across the ship catching the attention of the returning crewmates. The girls had come back from their shopping trip a little while ago meeting up with Chopper and Usopp who also went shopping. The rest of the crewmembers had come back at around the same time when they heard the piano playing.
"Oh, what a lovely tune."
"Did Brooke write another song?"
"I've never heard of it before."
"It's not me playing! Yohohohoho!"
"What?!" the crew looked for the talking skeleton and sure enough the skeleton was on the deck with them.
"Then who's playing?" Usopp asked the million dollar question.
"That would be Sanji, the song he's playing is 'Kiss the Rain' by Yiruma." Sami answered, gaining everyone's attention.
"Sanji can play piano?" Chopper asked with wonder in his eyes. "Since when?"
"Since he was 10, in our past life." Sami replied with a smile to the reindeer. "Do you want to go listen?"
"Won't Sanji be mad?" Chopper frowned, looking nervously in the direction of the music room.
"It'll be fine, when he plays he doesn't even realise if anyone else comes in to listen. Come on." Sami said, offering her hand to Chopper which he accepted.
The rest of the crew followed along, as they went in they were surprised to see Zoro also listening, already leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. Zoro opened one of his eyes and nodded to the crew before closing his eye again and continued listening. The rest of the crew decided to sit down and make themselves comfortable along with the swordsman and watched Sanji play the piano.
Luffy smiled at the calm expression on his cook's face. The captain had seen some changes in the cook and most were for the better, in Luffy's opinion. Sanji's more open now and seems a lot happier ever since Sami had come along, there also seems to be a slight change in the swordsman as well. Luffy grinned inwardly, most would see him as an idiot but he can be very insightful… and also be a bit of a matchmaker. He had noticed long before Sami had come along that there had been a tension in his first mate and cook and agrees with the girls; they should be together.
When Sanji had first joined he had told Luffy that he was bisexual straight up and asked if he had a problem with it, which Luffy obviously didn't. When Sanji had first seen their crew Luffy noticed that, before approaching the table that they were sitting at, Sanji was eyeing the swordsman with interest before shaking his head and instead flirted with Nami. All giddiness aside of having a possible couple, Luffy honestly thought the two were a good match. Both were the same age, had similar views yet so completely different at the same time and both were incredibly strong which meant they rely on each other during battles.
Luffy gave his D grin, if Zoro and Sanji ever get together and they will (once the captain had decided it will happen!) Luffy will make sure he would be the first one to approve of the relationship. Luffy finally ceased all thoughts and continued to listen to Sanji's playing. The song was very peaceful and calming; soon the whole crew was either in dreamland or in a trance like state, completely relaxed.
Sanji sighed contently as the song came to an end, no matter how upset he may be, working with his hands always made him feel better whether it's cooking or playing an instrument. Sanji suddenly froze when he heard a round of an applause that was definitely more than one pair of hands and since when did the shitty swordsman applaud anyway? As Sanji slowly turned around he gave a sheepish smile to the crew who was staring back at him in awe.
"Can you teach me some songs, Sanji-san?" Brook asked, impressed and happy of gaining a fellow musician. "I would like to learn the songs, I've never heard of the song before and it was one of the nicest pieces I've heard."
"Sure." Sanji smiled, rubbing his hand on the back of his neck. "I can also play a little of the saxophone and Sami, over there, can play the violin quite well too."
Brook couldn't be happier of finding more fellow musicians to play and compose songs with, but he was curious with how the twins had so many different skills.
"How come you two know how to do so many things? I mean, you can cook, dance, fight, play several instruments and from what I heard from the others that you can speak several languages." Brook inquired, stroking his non-existent beard.
"Well, in a way we had too much free time on our hands, to entertain ourselves we learnt all kinds of different skills to keep us busy." Sami replied, sweat dropping slightly for her reason, walking over to her brother's side. "It's not fun to always be peaceful, it can be boring too. The previous world we lived in had polices that everyone followed, which led to having a very peaceful and docile life that neither Sanji nor I really enjoyed."
"Sami said this morning, that the gibberish that you were saying was really three languages mixed together. What were the three languages?" Nami asked Sanji who was still sitting by the piano.
"Well one of the languages is the main language." Sanji smiled, trying to crack a joke, which earned him an exasperated smile from the navigator. "But the other two languages I speak fluently in are French and Swedish, two languages that come from different European countries. My mother was from France and my father was from Sweden. Sami and I gained our blond hair from our father while both of our eyes are mixture of our father's and mother's. The main language of this world to us is also known as Japanese."
"Japanese?" Robin asked. "What country is that language from?"
"A small country named Japan, Sami and I lived there for most of our lives." Sanji replied this time. "Another language that we can both speak is English, which is the main language of that world."
"Are your other siblings from the same place too?" Robin faced both siblings.
"Wait, there's more?" Usopp asked surprised before yelping when Nami gave him a 'light tap' to the head. "What?!"
"Don't say it like Sanji-kun's and Sami's siblings are objects!" Nami hissed. "Have some more tact!"
Sanji laughed at Usopp, while Sami giggled, when the sniper bowed and apologised profusely, begging them not to be offended and not to kill him with their scary demon powers. "Haha, no, our other siblings came from different places; Greece, America and China." Sanji said, quelling the last of his laughter. "Li An come from China, she was the oldest out of all of us, her name 'Li' meant strength and 'An' meant calm. It was a name that suited her; she was always extremely level-headed and could beat the shit out of grown-ass men at the age of 12."
"Then there's our other sister, Miki. She was the second oldest and came from America. She was very hot-headed and sassy; she was the type that took nonsense from no one. She also takes giving favours and debts to people very seriously." Sami said next, smiling at the memories going through her head at the mention of her siblings. "Oh she can also get a bit bossy too."
"Hey, don't those two sound like…?" Franky scratched his head, as the whole crew suddenly stared at Nami and Robin.
"What?" Nami asked, slightly miffed at the stares she as getting. "Do I have something on my face?"
"Fufufu" Robin only chuckled. "I believe that the others think that we resemble Cook-san's and Dancer-san's sisters, Navigator-san."
"But I'm not bossy." Nami stated, crossing her arms before grinning and looked down at the crew from her nose in a haughty manner. "I'm not bossy, I'm the Queen."
At this mention Sanji and Sami burst out laughing, both at Nami's comeback and that that particular saying was very familiar to them.
"Hahaha, I'm sorry Nami-chan, but just then you resembled out sister Miki very much." Sami breathed, trying to catch her breath after she finally calmed down. "She always gets defensive whenever someone tells her she's bossy."
"Adonis was always the one to argue with her, constantly complaining about her attitude, when he himself also has a shitty attitude most of the time." Sanji suddenly began making gagging noises and looked like he was choking on poison before grimancing and began speaking again. "Adonis was the third oldest and like his name suggests he was, I can't believe I'm admitting this, extremely handsome."
"We can both agree that even though we love him, he can be a total prat." Sami nodded, agreeing with her brother.
"Hell to the no, I will never love that asshole." Sanji growled. "He's constantly made fun of me and thought he was more superior then everyone else and just is a total fucker in general."
"But he has his moments."
"Very rarely."
"…yeah… very, very rarely."
"…"
"What did he make fun of you for?" Usopp asked, breaking the silence after a few moments. At this question Sanji froze while Sami gained a huge ass grin.
"Well, to answer that question-"
"Gah! NO!" Sanji, out of desperation quickly covered his sister's mouth. "You will not mention any of the thin- Gah!" Sanji quickly removed his hand and wiped it on his shirt, giving his sister an accusing look.
"Why the hell did you lick me?!"
"That's what you get for doing what you did!"
As the twins continued arguing the rest of the crew just stared and sweat dropped. They still weren't use to Sanji arguing with the opposite gender.
"So what was the Curlybrow made fun for?" Zoro grinned deviously, looking over at Sanji. What Zoro was thinking was how someone, if they were annoying as the cook mentioned, could have anything that could embarrass the cook so much that he even covered his sister's mouth.
"Well one thing was that Sanji was dared to dress up in the most frilliest and girlish Lolita costume while doing the Kiyomi Dance." Sami quickly said and while Sanji was still in horror state, Sami quickly added. "Complete with makeup, having it video tapped and posting it on YouTube."
"What's Kiyomi? What is YouTube? And most importantly, do tell us the details." Zoro continued grinning at the now acquired information (blackmail) he gained about the cook. Zoro evilly rubbed his hands together and chuckled darkly. Oh it's going to be so much fun.
"Kiyomi is a cutesy little dance that would make anyone feel like barfing rainbows and YouTube is only one of the most visited websites around the world where everyone can see it and can I just say that the supposed dare gained more than 3 thousand views?" Sami replied to all the questions while having Sanji in headlock, preventing him from keeping her embarrassing the shit out of her brother.
"Can you give us a demonstration?" Franky also joined Zoro on the evil side, smiling over at Sami with his eyebrows raised.
"Sure, but there's not really a proper version, mainly improvising but I'll show you." Sami smiled before launching into the dance and singing the music.
Sanji was mortified, to say the least. The whole crew looked like they either wanted to barf because of the cringe-worthy dance moves or laugh because they knew that he's done it too. Not to mention the shitty swordsman seemed like he was having a time of his life, smirking over at Sanji the moment the dance was finished. Why don't you just kill me now world?
"I would also like to add on the fact you will never see me do it again." Sanji gritted out, as he got up and walked towards the door. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to make dinner and if I hear another mention of that blasted song, I will kick you in the face so hard you'll be shitting teeth for weeks."
At Sanji's threat, Usopp and Chopper immediately began hugging each other and crying tears of fear. The majority of the crew just laughed, except for Robin, who only smiled and Nami, who just shook her head and looked over at Sami.
"So, if there weren't any pirates or marines, how did you make a living?" Nami asked.
"There were all types of jobs but since the government was literally our home we didn't really worry about money, but we still did some small-time jobs, like Sanji was temporarily a waiter and I was an assistant of a company." Sami suddenly remembered another piece of information. "Sanji was also a temporary model for one of our friends."
"EH?!" Usopp screamed. "SANJI WAS A MODEL?"
"Yes, he was and I must admit that he was an extremely good one too." Sami replied unfazed at the shocked looks she was receiving. "The moment he began modelling, our friend gained popularity quite quickly, not to mention Sanji also gained quite a few admirers."
"Well, that's not something you hear every day." Franky stated, trying to imagine Sanji modelling, the image came up quite easily, but knowing Franky it's probably an image of Sanji doing the SUPER pose and wearing nothing but speedos and a hawaiian shirt.
Soon the crew made Sami go out on deck to make them show her hip hop dance moves and with the younger crewmates trying to dance along and failing horribly but everyone was laughing.
"Yohohoho, young people are so lively" Brook trilled.
After dinner was finished Sanji stretched out all the kinks in his back from cleaning the whole kitchen until it was spotless and sighed contently at the cracks and pops came out of his body.
"Dude, don't do that, it's disturbing." Zoro grimaced at the sounds. Zoro had decided that the make sure that he did like the cook, he would spend more time with him. The actual fact was that Zoro knew that he did in fact like the cook and was just finding excuses to be near the blonde.
"What's disturbing? Oh you mean this?" Sanji grinned evilly and cracked his knuckles, the loud popping noises made Zoro shudder.
"I really hate you." No I don't
"Feelings mutual." Not really
But because both are idiots they didn't know what the other was thinking and were covering up their feelings with sarcastic insults. Zoro wasn't the only one who was feeling conflicted, Sanji had already kept a bit of an eye on the swordsman ever since he first caught glimpse of the dumb green hair and still hasn't stopped looking just yet. Lately with the swordsman being quiet and even docile with the cook, had made Sanji unable to complain about the usual things about Zoro and it only made him remember the good qualities he had picked out from the swordsman. Sanji then decided to go make things even more weird for himself and the Marimo because he's an idiot when it comes to his love life.
"So… what are your sexual preferences?" Sanji mentally kicked himself. Why did I ask that? What is wrong with me? Sanji began to panic when the swordsman didn't respond at first. But then it's the Strawhat cook and first mate, most feelings would be pushed aside for feeling pissed off sooner or later.
"I don't know."
"…Don't know?" Sanji felt a tick in his eye. "I know you're a person who can keep his qualms in check but YOU'RE NINETEEN, ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU HAVE NO ATTRACTION WHATSOEVER?"
"I do have needs every now and then, just not as much as a perv like you." Zoro leered. "I take care of my needs my own way and I honestly couldn't careless who I do it with as long as I get release."
"…Then you're pansexual then." Sanji concluded.
"I guess."
"…I'm honestly not surprised."
"Why did you even bother asking?"
"Because I've been told I don't have a very good impulse control, so I tend to blurt things out without really thinking."
"…What do you even think about?"
"Brains are weird man."
"…Right."
Sanji hummed and stubbed out the cigarette before walking off to his turn on watch. "Nami-san told me that we're going to be setting sail sometime tomorrow so better tell me if there's anything else you want, because the welcome party for my sister drained some supplies so I'm going shopping again."
"Booze." Was the immediate answer.
"…Why do I even bother?" Sanji grumbled, as he flicked his ears in annoyance. "Fine, go to bed, shitty swordsman."
"Night, Cook." Zoro grinned at Sanji to piss him off. Instead he got a slight flush on the cook's cheeks as he rushed off towards the crow's nest, his tails fluffing up behind him, leaving a slightly stunned swordsman in his wake.
Damn, that grin was a lot sexier than it should have been… Sanji thought, still aware of the flush on his cheeks. He was confused about the strange fuzzy feeling. Maybe Sami would know.
I'm sorry if Sanji is ooc.
Kiyomi/gwiyomi is a little cute dance that goes along with an equally cute song and is enough to make me want to barf unicorns and sparkles. Here are the two videos of some versions of the dance and it's up to you on which one is the one that Sanji did.
