Wintertime Warmth

Summary:

"That morning, Nami awakes to the delectable scent of chocolate as she stirs in the mountain of blankets piled on their bed."

Set post-Luffy becoming the King of the Pirates in which the crew is still together as one big (slightly dysfunctional) family. Nami and Sanji are enjoying their honeymoon as newlyweds and decide to travel to an island filled with snow and ice to give themselves a major change of scenery.

Set sometime after Luffy becomes King of the Pirates.

Notes:

Disclaimer: These characters belong to Eiichiro Oda, and the Funimation English Dub series. Also, I just wanted it to be known that I watch the show in the English dub, so those are the voices I imagine for the characters. No monetary gain is being made from this drabble. Set sometime in a future world sometime soon after Luffy becomes King of the Pirates, whatever age the Straw Hats would be at that point in time. (Also, yes, I know Eiichiro Oda states that none of the Straw Hats will get together romantically in one of his Q&A’s, but my shipper heart can dream, and this is the canon that I am imagining for the world when Luffy becomes King of the Pirates and the rest of the crew achieves their respective dreams as well!) Set before my other Sanji/Nami drabble "Summertime Sweetness".

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

For their honeymoon, Nami told Sanji she wanted to go somewhere with snow since she was so deathly ill when they journeyed to Drum Island and met Chopper. They both have had their fix of heat after their stint in Alabasta and the jungles of Skypiea, so that was not an issue for the newlyweds. Furthermore, the young couple has had their fill of sand and surf due to the crew’s frequent beach days now that Luffy has established himself as a Captain to be both respected and feared. Thus, the crew and the Captain of the Thousand Sunny dropped their navigator and cook on a snow-covered island for a two week stint. Sanji and Nami have vowed to enjoy every second of their time alone.


            That morning, Nami awakens to the delectable scent of chocolate as she stirs in the mountain of blankets piled on their bed.

“Morning, my sweet angel,” Sanji softly greets, gently pressing a kiss to his wife’s perfectly luscious, red lips.

“Morning, Sanji,” Nami returns, kissing him back with slightly more ferocity than his as she fights back a yawn. “I woke up and found you gone,” she whispers, slight fear shining in her chocolate-colored eyes.

“Never to fear, my love,” the blonde cook whispers back, pushing the covers back with his knees to slide back into bed beside the woman he worships and adores, the woman he was so fortunate to have married. “I was simply making us some hot cocoa and stoking the fire to keep us warm this morning,” Sanji admits, setting the mugs of cocoa on the bedside table as Nami moves to press herself flush against him until she is straddling his lap and hips.

The cook swallows thickly, his most desired fantasy seemingly playing out in front of his very own eyes.
“N—Nami?”

“I can think of a few other ways you can keep me warm if you’re up to the challenge, husband,” Nami insists, her eyes sparking deviously as she runs her hands up and down Sanji’s bare chest.

“Yes, ma’am,” Sanji complies, beginning to leave a trail of kisses from the crown of Nami’s head and working his way downwards.


 

Notes:

Author’s Note: As much as Nami acts frustrated with Sanji in the manga and anime, I do believe he would eventually wear her down and make her realize that he does actually, genuinely care for her. Sanji, despite being quite the ladies’ man does hold Nami in extremely high regard and manages to convince her to be his girlfriend and, later on down the line, his wife in my personal headcanon. Anyway, I definitely love the changing relationship between Nami and Sanji in the show from where they grew from Nami simply taking advantage of Sanji all the time to the point where they both equally rely on one another and can trust one another. (Also, you can’t convince me that in the alternate Boss Luffy world that they aren’t married when they run the restaurant together…) I hope you all enjoyed this little drabble. Kudos, likes, and comments are always appreciated. Until next time, dear readers! Have an amazing day, afternoon, or night!

Edit 5/19/2025: I changed the timeline around for this entire series, so I went back through all of the 17 posted stories I have written as of today and either edited small details (how many months it had been since Sanji and Nami first get together romantically, when they start having interactions together like this, etc.) or switched the order of a few of the stories. Nothing major is changing, so do not worry! I just want to create a more cohesive story since I have written these out of order and I am trying to create a big interconnected storyline between my ZoRobin, SaNami, Law/OC, and Gen stories.
