Just one though, a simple thought that pushed itself to the front of your brain, pestered you constantly from morning till evening. Sanji. It was most certainly about Sanji, and a little something about his facial features that irked you to no end when it came up once again, from two years ago, and now.

Leaning on the counter, your butt pressing into the steel bar with a red cushion wrapped around it, you eyed Sanji's back while he cooked away, the scents of the dinner to come flooding the ship and your nostrils. Though he knew you were here, he didn't exactly know why you were in the first place. Drifting upwards, your gaze followed his back and finally focused on the back of his head, his blonde hair illuminating from the flames in the sauce pan he was cooking in.

"Come on and turn around. Flip your hair a bit when you do so too." You mumbled to yourself, focusing on the back of his head harder.

Finishing what he was doing, Sanji took the food off the stove, and prepared it in a matter of minutes, laying everything out before him to make sure it was of good quality. Satisfied with his results, Sanji turned around to face you with his usual smile on his face.

"Enjoying yourself _______-chwan~?" He asked, drying his hands with a towel.

"Fuck." You murmured, dissatisfied with the lack of hair flip. You grunted in response to him and proceeded to stare at his face, focusing on his one curled eyebrow.

Sanji stared back at you in slight confusion. Following your gaze, it looked more like you were staring into his eyes than at his eyebrow. "Ah, are you getting yourself lost in the endless offerings of my eyes, my dear _______-chwan~?" He cooed, getting small hearts for pupils.

"Nope." You said flat out. "I'm focusing."

"What are you focusing on?" He asked, his attempt at capturing your heart failing.

". . . Your fucking eyebrows."

"My eyebrows? What's wrong with my eyebrows?" He asked, losing the ability to flirt as he hung the towel on a hook and crossed his arms.

"I've been wondering for two years. Why are your eyebrows shaped like that? More specifically, your hair changed after two years, so why is your left eyebrow... facing the same direction as your right when I saw you last two years ago?" You asked, pointing at him.

This made Sanji think a little bit, and get rather embarrassed about how his eyebrows worked. "I have no idea what you're talking about. Nothing has changed _______-chan." He said evasively.

"Oh really? Was that a stutter I heard in your voice Sanji-kun?" You asked. "What's up with the brows?" You asked again, pulling yourself onto the counter and getting closer to him.

"Nothing my dear!" He responded.

"SHOW ME YOUR EYEBROWS!" You screamed, leaping from the counter and onto Sanji, a hairclip being gripped tightly in one of your hands.

"WHAT THE-!"

Sanji had no time to respond, as you had latched yourself onto him, reaching for his hair. Swiftly, you slid your hand under his bangs that draped over his right eye, and pulled it to the side, clipping it up with the hairclip. Sanji began to fret, and fumbled for what to do next.

"Oh. My. God." You said, taking in the sight before you.

Sanji's eyebrows were indeed, curled in the same direction. Not on the outer edges, not on the inner, but one out and one in. You leaned back against the counter with a smirk and chuckled slightly. "I knew it!"

"What the hell _______!" Sanji yelled, ripping out the hair clip and slapping his hair back down into place, a large frown present on his face, alongside a lovely strip of blush as well.

"Ohoho~! Sanji, are you blushing?" You asked, still giggling a bit. "Are you embarrassed of you asymmetrical eyebrows?"

"That was a dirty trick _______." He mumbled, crossing his arms and turning away from you. "Not funny."

"Aww, come on Sanji-kun!" You started, pushing off from the counter and walking up to him. "There's nothing wrong with your eyebrows. In fact, I like 'em! I was just curious."

Sanji turned around to face you once more, looking at you with an expression almost impossible to read. He had no words. He was shocked, and slightly mad.

"I have to admit Sanji," You started, pressing your body up against his and reaching for his hair once more. "You look kinda cute like that. It's adorable the way it goes~!" You said, pushing the hair out of the way once again, revealing his two oddly curled eyebrows. "And I like it."

With that, you expertly leaned yourself in and pressed your lips onto his, your hand still in his hair, pushing it to the side to see both of his eyes, which widened at your actions as a prominent blush exploded on Sanji's face. Never, had such a beautiful crewmate done this to him, and never, has someone dared go at his eyebrows like that before, or even mention anything past the fact that they were curled. He was usually the one to make the move, but in this case, you had caught him completely off guard, and won the race.

Your fingers ran through his soft blonde locks, as your other hand came up and wrapped itself around his neck, pulling him closer. Sanji had not a single idea on how to react to this for a moment, never having someone even feel like doing this with him in the slightest. But then, it all flowed naturally, and Sanji put his hands around your waist and pulled you into him, deepening the kiss you dared start.

This went on for a few more seconds, until both of you parted for some air. For the first time, you stared into both of his eyes with a goofy smile that meant so much more.

"It's nice being able to see both your eyes for once." You said.

"_-______-chan, I didn't-"... Sanji started, being at a loss for words at the moment.

"What? Cat got your tongue?" You giggled. "Why were you so embarrassed about your eyebrows, huh?"

Picking up on this, he found some words for you finally. "Because, what human has curled eyebrows, and what human, has both of them face the same direction."

"You might think it's a flaw, but that not what I think at all." You reassured. "I think it looks cute~! It suits you, and has a certain sense of uniqueness. It's perfect in my opinion."

Sanji began to blush once more at your words, easily struck in the heart by this new feeling. He didn't want to flirt, he wanted to love now.

"Your blush adds to it too. I've never seen that on you. It's kinda funny!" You laughed.

Sanji let out a slightly staggered sigh, followed by a small smile. "Jeez _______, I'm supposed to be the one to capture your heart, not the other way around."

"Too late now~!" You grinned.

"Oi, thanks for the compliment. Not every day the "curly-brow cook" gets a compliment on something like that." He said, taking your smaller hand from his hair and into his own, letting his locks fall back into place. "But remember, you're just as beautiful _______-chwan, and I hope you'll have me now." He said, leaning in close to you once more.

"You and both your eyebrows." You agreed, closing the small gap between the two of you into yet another sweet kiss.
