Hey guys! This is a little short story I've been working on! It's only gonna be 4 chapters at least or 6 chapters at most. I hope you enjoy it, it's been really fun to write for the past two days. It's a SanjixOC story, in Sanji's POV. This may be semi-out of character for our Love Cook, but ehh, I only did this for fun! :D It's based off of two songs that I can't stop listening to. Soooo, yay!
Enjoy!

I breathed in slowly my hands gripping tightly onto the counter holding myself up from falling to the ground in a slump. A cigarette hung loosely between my lips, my eyes set on the oven in front of me and nothing else. The water in the pan boiled quietly, filling the empty room with a small amount of noise. My blue pine striped shirt was untucked, and hanging away from my body.
The door to the galley swung open, and I looked over towards the entrance and locked eyes with Nami. I smiled as big as I could, "Hello Nami-swan!"
She lightly smiled back at me, "Hello Sanji-kun."
I smiled lightly turning back to my cooking, even though a smile was pressed against my face I felt like I didn't deserve to smile. I began moving across the wooden floor becoming up sped with my cooking, the task blocking out any thoughts I was having before. Usopp had walked in sense then and was lightly having a conversation with Nami about the next Island we would visit.
I barely listened to the conversation, fiddling with a spoon in my hand. Nami looked up at me from the table and I turned to face her and smiled, "Is there something you need, Nami-swan?"
She frowned, "Is there something wrong, Sanji?"
I frowned; I should try a little harder at acting normal. I quickly replaced the frown with a grin, "There's nothing wrong, Nami-swan!"
She nodded, "If you say so."
I sighed quietly to myself and turned back to the oven, I closed my eyes briefly only to have a flash of the smile haunting my dreams. I quickly opened them, and sighed; now I wasn't even safe when I was awake. I stirred the soup in front of me, and put some salt into the mixture.
My head pounded lightly against my temples, probably due to the fact I was trying to stop myself from thinking about anything to do with her. I rolled my sleeves, and reached into the top shelf pulling out enough bowls for the crew. Nami stood up, "I'll go round everyone up for you."
I was about to protest but she left anyway, and I blinked now noticing the fact Usopp wasn't in there either. I shook my head, "I'm way too distracted."
Luffy quickly ran through the door and sat down at the table jumping up and down. I continued scooping the soup into different bowls from everyone. Soon enough Chopper, Usopp, Zoro, Robin, and Nami had sat down at the table. I grabbed the first two bowls and danced over to the table smiling at Robin and Nami placing both bowls in front of them, "Here you are my darlings!"
Robin lightly smiled, "Thank you, cook-san."
I smiled at her widely, "You're welcome Robin-swan!"
I quickly gave everyone else their bowls, and grabbed myself one to eat. I leaned against the counter, slowly eating my own dinner. Everyone had there own conversations, a few sounds of slapping here and there from Luffy trying to steal other peoples food.
I stayed silent throughout the meal, my mind reeling through past events. Her smile flashed in my mind once again, this time accompanied by a body. Her long brown hair was wavy and lying against her shoulders softly. Her blue eyes sparkled putting any sunset to shame; her straight white teeth gleamed in the sunlight surrounded by full lips. Her lightly tanned skinned glowed in the sunlight, her torso covered in a simple white tank top. A pair of short jean shorts on her bottom half, and a pair of white tennis shoes dressing her feet.
I shook my head, my breathing slightly ridged now. "Sanji?"
I looked up at Nami and smiled, "Yes, Nami-swan?"
She looked towards me with worry, "What's wrong with you today?"
I frowned lightly, "Just some bad memories."
"Like what cook-san?"
I smiled, "Nothing important."
~0~0~0~
I sighed to myself pushing myself further into the hammock, the pillow my head rested on felt more like a cinderblock then a fluffy pillow. The blanket laid lightly on top of me, my forehead burning up. I felt the same pain as before pushing against my temples, only this time it was twice as worse.
I looked to my right and frowned watching the small reindeer that was our doctor snoozing away. I groaned to myself, lifting my hands to grip at my blonde hair. I breathed in and out slowly, and closed my eyes removing my hands from my head and placed them at my side.
I lightly hummed to myself, distracting myself from the headache. I bit my lip, these memories are doing more then just annoying me, now they were affecting my health. My heart beat lightly pounded against my rip cage, and I felt sleep over take me.
I felt something lay on top of me, a pair of lips lightly leaving a kiss against me neck. I opened my eyes, the blinding light making me close them once again in pain. I groaned lightly only to be meet with a giggle. I quickly stood up; noticing the hammock I fell asleep on was now replaced with a wooden floor.
I looked up at the girl straddling my waist and couldn't stop the smile playing at my lips. Her full lips curved in a smirk, and she spook in her almost angelic voice, "You know, you have a bed for a reason, dumb cook."
I playfully glared at the insult she threw my way, "I do believe I heard you giggle, Rei-chan."
She full on glared at me for the giggle comment and the nickname, "It's not my fault you're cute when you sleep."
I smiled at her. She glared down at me, "What are you smiling at?"
I stared back into her blue eyes, "You, of course."
She jumped off me, smoothing down her white tank top then holding a hand out to me. I reached up, helping her pull myself off the ground. "Why am I still here?"
I grinned grabbing her waist from behind, leaning down to her ear, "Because you think I'm sexy."
She snorted, "You wish."
I smiled, "So what if I do?"
She shook her head pulling away from my grip spinning around to face me, "Oh yeah, that's right its because my dumbass partner decided to leave me here."
I stepped forward lifting her face to mine, "I personally will thank her for that if I ever see her again."
She smiled lightly, "Why would you do a thing like that?"
I grinned lightly pressing my lips to her, "Because now I have you."
She looked up at me her smile turning into a light frown, "You know I have to leave soon Sanji."
I sighed, putting my forehead against her's, "I know."
"Then why get close to me?"
My brow rose, and she stifled a laugh, "Then why are you getting close to me?"
She lightly kissed the corner of my lips, "Because I think you're sexy."
I grinned pulling her into a full on kiss, just before the kiss could get any farther everything went black. I closed my eyes re-opening them quickly, shooting into a sitting position. I sighed running a hand throw my hair staring at the Men's room on the Merry Go.
I stood up from the hammock, stretching with a groan. I walked towards the door quietly walking out, and shutting it once I was in the hallway. I coughed quietly to myself, and continued my journey to the galley to get a glass of water. My feet pulled me along and soon enough I was meet with a wave of cold hair goose bumps spreading throughout my body. I shivered, folding my hands across my chest.
The sun had yet to rise, and the stars beamed down sparkling across the sky. I smiled to myself closing my eyes, a flash of Rei popped into my mind. I quickly shook my head and opened the galley door, and towards the sink.
I sighed, lifting the glass to my lips. Why did one girl have to leave such an impression on me? Why couldn't I just forget about her?
Because you actually loved her.
I've loved a lot of women! Why is she haunting my dreams now of all times?
Maybe it's a sign.
Oh yes, this is just some magical sign that she's going to pop out of nowhere!
I'm only trying to help you.
I sighed to myself. Yes, great help you are! Now you're only proving my insanity!
Face it, Sanji. You love her, always have, always will. No amount of time can change it, she'll always own your heart.
I bit my lip, I wish you were wrong.
Review? :D
