Work Text:
You were born into a rich bloodline, yourself possessing the Goro Goro no Mi. "Y/N, can you go out and get me some things on my list? I'm very busy." M/N shouted up the staircase. You agreed and slipped on a pair of yellow rain boots and the stereotypical yellow jacket, making your way downstairs and out the door.
Ending up at the food market you picked up the first thing on the list, your mothers herbs. Minding your own business you dropped 150 beli in the cash box and moved on with the herbs. Next, milk. You knew this vendor always had an attitude. Walking up to the stand prepared for whatever nonsense the old seller had for today. Wanting to get this over with you picked up the carton of milk and a pale hand grabbed your wrist.
"Don't go off picking up my stuff without buying it first, bum." the Geezer insulted. Your hot headed self trying to keep in all the rude words from spilling out if your mouth right at that very sec-
"That's not very professional, Old Man." surprised by the voice you turned around meeting a blond man with a curled eyebrow, his hair covering half his face and left with a suit. The Blond picked up the milk pretending to examine it, waiting for the right time.
"Holy shit- what's that?!" the Blond pointed behind the rude vendor while grabbing your hand. Once the vendor turned you were forced to run along with the Blond. Leading you two to an alley.
"Hey? What are you doing?! You just stole that!" you protested. Yet relived to be away from that old hag. "Whatever, who even are you?"
"Oh, I'm Sanji. A chef for the Strawhat Pirates." What. You. You were standing right in-front of a pirate. A dream of yours ever since you lived in that mansion. Sanji started walking, instructing you to follow. "So, what's your name?" Sanji asked.
"Y/N, Y/N L/N. I'm a devil fruit owner, but I just live in an old mansion. Don't think i'm too cool."
"Don't worry, I didn't think you were that cool anyway." he joked. You punched his arm lightly while laughing. The two of you talked and walked for a while until you heard a loud squeaky voice scream Sanji's name. "Oh, that's my captain."
"SANJI SANJI! ...Who's this?" Luffy, the Strawhats captain asked.
"This is Y/N, I helped him steal some food in town." you waved to the captain.
"OHH HEY Y/N WANNA JOIN MY CREW?" you were taken aback by his question.
"Tch, don't feel too pressured. He always asks this to everyone. Yet, I wouldn't mind a new crewmate."
It's been a few weeks since you joined the Strawhats. You left your mother a note, hopefully she wouldn't be too mad. Currently you were sitting by Franky and Robin playing a game of cards. You were in the lead then Sanji yelled out to you to help him clean. Saying you'll be back and leaving your cards you headed to the Kitchen. You started by washing dishes with Sanji, listening to his whistle.
"Say, Y/N. What does your Devil Fruit do? I haven't seen you use it yet." Sanji asked. You didn't answer and just put your hand on his cheek. You swore you felt his cheeks heat up but then he jumped back at the shock. You shocked him with your power. "AH- what the hell? You shocked me-"
"Goro Goro no Mi." you dried the last dish and started mopping. A smirk printed on your face. Yet you couldn't forget the feeling of him heating up, was he blushing? Did Sanji even have interest in men? You continued to clean while listening to Sanji's whistle, Brooks music, and Nami's plead for money.
After your chores were done you left the Kitchen, hitting the Moss haired swordsman with the door.
"Oops." He scoffed at you, took a sip of booze and fell back asleep. Everything was peaceful, for now. You and Sanji standing on the upper deck listening to the waves and sharing a cigarette.
"Y/N!!! I'm here!" was the last thing you heard before passing out. It was Chopper rushing to help you. You were rushed out of a fight with Big Mom. Hours later you opened your eyes to Luffy, Sanji and Chopper. Chopper was finishing bandaging your arm. Apparently you were thrown pretty hard during the fight.
"I saved some meat for you." Luffy handed you the smallest piece of meat you've ever been served. Knowing him he ate the rest.
"Um, keep i-" without finishing Luffy already ate the last piece. You face palmed and faced Chopper. "Thanks, Chopper. Don't know what I'd do without you."
"Sanji helped too! I can't carry a person all by myself" he smiled.
"Thank you, Sanji. I don't know what I'd do without you too." your face flushed and so was his, noticeable this time. The cook smiled and was pushed out by Chopper, all three of them leaving you to your privacy.
Sanji was in his room pacing around. Of course, he never felt in love with a guy. But this feeling was new and it was for you. He decided he can't keep this feeling to himself for much longer.
It was late night and you were watching everyone play games. You were sat up on the railing of the front deck. Sanji came and walked by passing you a mug of beer.
"Cheers." "Cheers." your two cups collided.
Taking a drink the confession left his mouth, "I love you."
Sanji then walked away to go play with the crew leaving you to think about what he said. You already knew your response. Something you've been wanting to say for months.
"Goodnight!" Franky waved as you walked into your cabin. Sanji was there, waiting for you.
"I love you too." You kissed his cheek and said your goodnights. His eyes turned to hearts as you two cuddled and fell asleep, awaiting your next adventures.
