Sanji chuckled, swinging his legs through the railing of the crow’s nest. “You sure we should be doing this on watch?” He slurred, alcohol filled words leaving his lips. He grabbed at the half full bottle of sake that sat between him and his captain. “Why not,” the straw hat boy started. “‘s okay. If anyone attacks us, I’ll be sure to rough them up.” He beamed at the cook. Sanji hummed, bringing the bottle to his mouth. He had been drinking with Luffy since they started their night watch together, Luffy having convinced him after yapping about how they should celebrate. For what? He had no idea. Nothing particularly big had happened the past week. They’d actually been sailing off to the next island. Not like Sanji really cared though, as he did enjoy hanging out with Luffy.
“Hey! Stop hogging all the booze, Sanji.” Luffy pouted, holding out his hand for the bottle. Sanji muttered a few ‘sorry’s before passing the bottle to Luffy. “Didn’t know you were much of a drinker captain.” Luffy raised his eyebrow, chugging the rest of the liquid. “I drink sometimes. Not like Zoro though, I don’t like drinking alone.” Sanji reached in his pocket, pawing for his carton of cigarettes. He grabbed one, lighting the end of it with the lighter in his other hand. He took a puff, some of the smoke escaping the corners of his mouth before he blew the rest out through his nose. Luffy stared, eyes hard focused on the ribbons of smoke billowing from Sanji’s nostrils. Sanji’s eyes shifted to Luffy before he held his cigarette up. “Wanna try?” Luffy shook his head. “Nah, I think it would make me cough.”
Sanji burst out laughing, nearly dropping the lit stick on the faux grass beneath him. “Hey! What’s so funny” Luffy puffed his cheeks out, crossing his arms like a displeased child. “Nothing…nothing. It’s just kind of cute, is all.” Luffy cocked his head to the side.
“Sanji thinks it’s cute that I’d cough?”
Sanji put his cigarette out on the tray beside him before leaning back on the grass, tilting his head so he can see Luffy with a smile. “No dummy. It’s cute how you replied.” Luffy didn’t say anything to that, continuing to stare at Sanji with little thought behind his eyes. Then he said, “I think it's cute when Sanji smiles.”
Sanji cleared his throat, turning away from Luffy, trying his hardest to hide his flushed face. “Shitty captain…do you ever think before you speak?” He mumbled. Luffy whined, scooting closer to Sanji. “Sorry Sanji, did I say something wrong?” Sanji turned to face him, and what the hell? Why was he so close all of a sudden? “No, but you can’t just call someone cute…y’know?”
“Why? You just called me cute?” Luffy protested.
“That doesn’t count.”
“Why?”
“You’re such a stubborn jackass…it doesn’t count cus I said so.” Sanji said, sticking his tongue out. Luffy frowned “Huh?! That’s so unfair Sanji. I wanna call Sanji cute when he’s cute!!” Luffy yelled, pushing further into Sanji’s personal space. Sanji laughed, playfully covering Luffy’s mouth, mostly because he was being so damn loud. “Poor baby. It’s not my fault I make the rul-AH,” Sanji yelped, having felt Luffy’s tongue lick a clean line down his palm.
“Why the hell did you do that?”
“‘s not my fault I make the rules,” Luffy teased, falling backwards with a loud laugh. Sanji scoffed before surging forward, pinning Luffy underneath him. “How would you feel if I licked you, you shitty rubber?” He slowly slurred out, the alcohol fully hitting his brain. He felt light, so light that if he didn’t focus, he would probably fall on top of Luffy. Luffy smirked, “I wouldn’t care.” Sanji raised his eyebrow before dipping down and licking a small stripe up Luffy’s collarbone. He smacked his lips a couple of times, “You’re kinda salty.”
Luffy frowned, licking his own hand to check Sanji’s observation. “Yeah I guess so…” Sanji just stared at him, what a weirdo. A really cute weirdo, but a weirdo nonetheless. There was something that attracted him to the rubber freak though. Maybe it was his strange tendencies or his cute mannerisms. Maybe it was the fact his smile was just a lil too wide to be natural or the way he said his name. All of those thoughts would have to wait as Sanji dipped down once again to ghost his lips against the other’s. “Let’s see if you’re salty here too…” He said, pressing their lips together. The initial kiss was short, a light peck to test the waters. Then it turned into lapping at the lips, tongues clashing together in an intoxicating mix of cigarettes and sake. Sanji slowly sat up, Luffy following his movements to prolong their kiss. Luffy used his hands to cup Sanji’s face, pushing their faces closer, as if he was trying to meld them together.
Sanji smiled drunkenly, slightly pulling back to look at his captain. “So…am I salty there too?” Luffy asked shyly, a slight blush adorning his cheeks. “Dunno, let me taste it again.”
