[name]...was sleeping.

sanji couldn't believe it. he tells it to himself again; [name] was sleeping.

she'd spent and shared a room with nami and robin for quite a lot of time now, but whenever she would tuck in bed for the night or wake up in the middle of it, her eyes would never catch sight of the [h/c] with closed eyes and a still body - that was what nami had once told him.

and she meant never.

not even once.

[name] was always the first one up for breakfast - if she even wanted any - and would be seated in the kitchen when he would arrive early morning to make breakfast, if not, she would be sitting at the deck watching the sea in silence. she would be the last one to tuck in for the night and was always ready to volunteer for night watch too!

it just felt...weird...seeing it.

bending over her face, sanji examined [name]'s peaceful face as her eyelids were fluttered close and her breathing steady, scarf still wrapped around her neck. her lips were parted to breathe in and out, hands wrapped in bandages and resting beside her sleeping figure.

oh.

and luffy's hand was reaching out for her wrist as it dangled over the small gap between their gaps; her captain really had developed a bay habit of holding onto her body warmth for a peaceful sleep. sanji was burning on the inside but because she had consented to it before they slept, he was somehow letting it happen.

it felt weird...it definitely did.

but it felt...nice.

his heart warmed from the inside.

anyone would think that because of [name]'s body, she wouldn't be a normal human or something like that. [name] certainly didn't have the perfect human-like qualities; she barely ate, had dark eyes, never expressed anything other than a blank face or a smile, wasn't very smart either, and had an abnormal muscular constitution that almost made luffy suspect she was a man in disguise - not that he cares, sanji thinks she's beautiful in all ways. 

he had a thing for strong women after all! he had a thing for all women!

it felt like, as he saw her slumber...as if he was watching a little sister get some much-needed rest after a marathon of fighting and protecting.
