Crimson Chivalry: Sanji x Reader

Chapter 15: A Heart Can Wait

5340 Words! Holy cow! I haven't wrote this much since Burning Blood.

It was a challenge in itself as the crew had decided to wake you up from your cat nap that was the strangely reminiscent as to when Zoro would go for a snooze. Everyone (besides Luffy) were purposely taking their sweet time while Sanji served up breakfast out of respect to you who was in desperate need for even five minutes of shut eye. Anything would suffice. When you woke up, however you were still exhausted as if the nap had never taken place. That really stung in your book, all you could do now was put on a smile and act as if everything was smooth sailing here on the Thousand Sunny.

That Psychic told me that my time limit is practically up! How could I forget about my limit? If Law doesn't show up soon...

"Ready to go my beautiful?" Sanji had put your train of thought back onto the track for his genuine smile could bring anyone out of the darkest of oceans. He stood offering you a hand as you remained sat down upon the wooden floor of the kitchen from where you first slept.

"Guess so," you let out a shy snicker, taking advantage of Sanji's offer by taking his hand as he helped you up. You were a bit wobbly, seems like your legs hadn't registered it was time to wake up huh?

"Mistress Robin has an entire day planned out for us and I get to spend all of it with you," Sanji hummed happily doing a little dance. You went speechless for a good moment as this was the first time Sanji had swooned over you in particular, or at least in front of you so to speak.

"What made you so lovey dovey today?" You finally asked after gathering the courage.

Sanji pressed his hands to his cheeks with rosy hearts where his eyes should be. He was a man in love that's for sure. "I get to spend the day with my two favorite girls," Sanji talked while squishing his cheeks to sound like he were dying in cuteness. You were dying in cuteness as well.

"I thought Nami was your number one," you grumbled remembering the Psychic's third prediction. He's a man with many women in his life, a flirt so to speak. But he hasn't been a flirt until recently because he's had his eyes on you instead.

"Who says I can't have more than one girl in my life?" Sanji went serious out of nowhere.

"You sound like a pimp," you wretched. "For your information Sanji, I am not your side hoe Nor I'm not a woman to be bought," you tut, leaving the kitchen.

"Damn," Sanji whistled. "That came out of nowhere but I like it!"

"She's playin' hard to get," Zoro chuckled after witnessing the entire event take its course. "If you don't jump on her then I will," Zoro smirked.

"You stupid Marimo," Sanji shook his head. "I got a plan!"

"To what, get her into bed?" Zoro knew exactly where the conversation was going, nobody could blame him for taking it downhill however.

"No," Sanji shot daggers at Zoro. "That's what you want."

"I won't deny she'd be pretty good in bed."

"I-" Sanji brain took itself and moved into the trash. "I... I won't deny it either but too bad," Sanji huffed. "Somebody has already beat us to her."

"She's gotten laid before us?" Zoro's eye widened.

"Yup," Sanji mumbled.

"That's... Crazy," Zoro scratched his temple.

"Zoro Sanji stop being perverts and let's go!!!" Luffy roared as he banged on the door within the kitchen with his fist. Zoro and Sanji sighed in unison before taking their leave.
