(them/they)
How long? How long could they keep their horns hidden? Y/n had been hiding what they were for so long it hurt.
They'd joined the crew shortly after Sanji and had grown rather close to him. No one, not even he knew their secret. That was until their favorite distraction sauntered in unexpectedly.
His voice died at the sight. Hat off and tail out. He'd never seen someone like them, nor had he seen so much of them.
"I-" Words failed him, his face reddened, and his gaze locked.
"Not a word of this to the others." Y/n whispered coming dangerously closer and pinning him to the now closed door.
"Al- Alright.... Wha- Are you?" Sanji said trying his hardest to sound calm and failing miserably.
"A love demon." Y/n answered gently holding his chin and watching him carefully.
"Like a succubus?" he said confusedly.
Y/n let go of his chin and looked away with their nose scrunched in disgust.
"Don't compare me to those monsters. They're an insult to love itself. They spread the pleasant rumors themselves, and their victims don't live long enough to correct it. They're violent and their fangs will drug you so you're to weak to even scream. Horrible things those succubi." Y/n said glaring at the wall.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know." He said softly, staring at the floor boards below. He never heard of such a terrible truth.
"It's alright, I shouldn't expect you to know that. Would you let me teach you a bit about love demons." Y/n said leaning in to press their forehead against his. One hand returning to his chin, while the other slid down to his hip.
"I-I Wel- Um-... please.." His eyes flitted across the room quickly and a crimson trail dripped down from his nose.
They let go and stepped back before ushering him towards their bed.
This wasn't how he expected the evening to go.
Sanji was promptly pressed to the mattress. This was new to him. He had no experience, with love, demons, or love demons.
Y/n took his hands and placed them on their horns.
"Unlike other species our horns are for emotionally connecting rather than fighting. Touching them creates this connection. Can you sense what I'm feeling?" They said looking deeply into his eyes.
"Affection and longing?" He answered blush growing ever darker.
"Yes, and you're feeling flustered, embarrassed, lonely, and vulnerable." Y/n said caressing his cheek.
He let go of their horns and their heart tipped tail slid toward his hands.
"The tail is the strongest part of our bodies. It can lift about 20 times our weight on average, but since I've trained I can lift around 50 times my weight. It can be used for fighting, but mates normally tangle or wrap their tails together. And..." Y/n tailed off as they moved one of his hands close to the base of their tail and the other to the center of the heart shaped tip.
"Around the base of the tail is sensitive. Normally a demon wouldn't allow you to touch there, but I'll let you. It's the only place you'll find fur." Y/n stated as a slight flush crawled up their face from the feeling of his hand.
"Lastly, the center of the heart is warm. We often warm ourselves or lovers with it. It's considered a declaration or sign of deep love to kiss there." Y/n said as he carefully pressed his hand against it to feel the warmth.
They leaned closer longing visibly swimming in their eyes.
"Sanji, you already know how I feel. May I?" Their eyes wandered over his form pleading.
He held the heart of their tail and pressed his lips to it. That was all they needed.
Y/n's right hand slid under his shirt while the left worked on the buttons. Kisses trailed all over his neck, collar bone, and down the center of his chest. Horns occasionally grazed his skin causing him to feel the intensity of their love.
"Darling, you're so pretty it hurts." Y/n mumbled, lips pressed against his warm skin, heart tipped tail sliding between his legs
His back arched a bit. Their lips met his before he could get a word out. Y/n's hands explored his back then moved down to hips, lastly sliding to under his thighs. They pulled him into them. His legs wrapped around them desperately.
"Darling, are you ready for more?" y/n asked looking him deeply into his needy half lidded eyes.
"Plea- please. I need you." He panted pulling their shirt.
Y/n couldn't deny such an adorable plea and finally got to the main event.
His back arched as far as it could go, breath uneven, and hair disheveled.
"Y/N~~! Y/N PLEA- PLEASE MORE~~!" His moans filled the room.
His pleading voice greatly increased their long time desire. Y/n made sure to give him their all to be certain no one could do him better.
"Anything for you, my darling boi~~" They answered in a breathy voice.
He'd reached his limit. His voice grew louder. His grip tighten before loosening and he was completely finished.
Y/n still had some strength left so they tended to him.
Once that was done they crawled under the covers and held him close. Sanji tiredly leaned against them.
"Sleep well, my love." y/n whispered nuzzling into his ear.
"I love you." He said closing his eyes.
"I love you too, Sanji. Forever and always." Their tail wrapped around and pressed the heart shape to his chest where his lay hidden.
Maybe knocking was a bad idea.
