Not His Birthday [Sanji & Nami]

@chatcambrioleur asked:

"Is it someone's birthday...?~" The navigator lilts, doe eyes blinking, innocently. "No, no, it can't be. I would certainly remember... hmm... Sanji-kun, remind me?" Her hands place on the counters, a smirk curling on her lips. "Oh--- it's Franky, isn't it? His birthday is soon!"

“...” The horror, not Nami too! He’d expect such antics from the guys, well maybe not Franky, and speaking of.

“Franky’s birthday is next week,” Sanji said weakly, slumping on the counter. How could she forget? Nami was probably the most sensitive person on the crew, unless there was money involved, so he had to ask.

“How much are they paying you to do this to me?”

New Year Kiss 2024 [Sanji & Nami]

@chatcambrioleur asked // Jan 4 · a month ago

“Kiss me?” For sanji ;o Send me "Happy New Year!!” to give my muse the first kiss of the New Year at midnight Or send “Kiss me?” to have my muse kiss yours. 

Sanji gulped, it was now or never, for better or worse. He worked hard for Nami’s forgiveness and trust in him since the Whole Cake Island incident, he just hoped it was long enough to have earned it. So he went in for a kiss, and let the fireworks around distract him from his worries in doing so.

“I like you very much, Nami-san. Happy New Year,” he said after, might as well play it safe or risk making it awkward for the rest of the new year.

Time to Forgive [Sanji & Nami]

Sanji: "Will you ever forgive me for what I did back then?"

@chatcambrioleur​​ answered:

Traveling out of Whole Cake Island had brought a handful of emotions to their little crew as they sailed away. Relief and happiness --- that they were able to bring Sanji home. Sympathy for everything he'd been through, although gratefulness rang strong --- Sanji was back, and they wouldn't lose him again.

It had never occurred to Nami, just how easy it might be to lose him, to begin with.

She had been trying to brush over everything --- to keep the atmosphere light, as if it was something Nami had always been concerned over. It wasn't.

She spoke so often, out of rage and fear. She said things she didn't mean in the heat of a moment, with an aching chest and tear-filled eyes. It was easy to reflect on her moments of wrath as a mistake. To look back on her fury with embarrassment, for how she'd lashed out. In a way, she had that recollective moment when it came to Sanji. If she had known everything, she wouldn't have dreamed of striking him.

Her faith to Luffy was unwavering. He had proven to her, time and time again that he could do anything. Her boys --- Luffy, Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp --- a motley crew, but they were her boys, and they would do anything for her. They would take down any opponent that stood in her way. On that day in Arlong Park, Nami did what had been hardest for her to do in years, and put her faith in someone else. She trusted them. She trusted Luffy.

Sanji had been in a similar position --- destitute, with no other options. Nami just didn't understand --- he had seen her at her lowest, and he saw how Luffy defied the odds. Why didn't Sanji believe that they would do the same, for him? Where was his trust in his nakama?

On top of everything --- hurting their captain, after all they had shared. Luffy had his moments, Nami knew better than anyone --- but he was their captain. The navigator wouldn't be there, unless she contained the utmost respect and loyalty to him.

Finding herself in the galley, after the rest of the crew had gone to sleep, Nami's mouth drew into a line. She should have figured, he would be here, too. She folded her arms at her torso, the tangerine she had only just begun peeling starting to look unappetizing.

"It's going to take time." Her voice was quiet, though she was blunt as ever. Sanji was one of the few people she expected would never hurt her. One less person she could rely on --- even if he was one of her favorites. Her gaze lifted, and although her tone remained firm, her eyes were soft with care.

"--- You know how much you matter to us, don't you?"

Sanji knew what he did better than anyone else, he should know better. Nami did the same thing in her own way when it came to Arlong, later Robin with CP9. So he was hypocritical to compare his case to theirs’, yes they were all in despair, yet he had more reason to trust the crew than ever. Luffy defied the odds time and time again along with the rest of the crew, himself included, why couldn’t he trust that too?

There was no excuse, even with the way he was blackmailed. Sanji fought with their captain in a desperate attempt to protect him, and he still adamantly waited for him like the stubborn fool that he was. That was Luffy, and his trust in him never wavered even while taking his kicks. He had a lot to make up for, and Nami’s answer confirmed it.

“I know,” he responded. “I know now, better than ever. I’m sorry, it was very selfish of me to do what I did.” Sanji sighed a little, he never felt more ashamed. But as a man he had to face the consequences of his actions, and be a man about it too, do whatever it takes to set things right again.

“The others are more forgiving, they wouldn’t be sleeping soundly already otherwise,” he admitted as he looked off into the distance. Luffy obviously already forgiven him once he returned as their cook, even corrected Judge on his apparent flaws. Sanji could not ask for a better friend, someone he would gladly cook for again. As for Nami, he had to also take responsibility for putting her in such a position for her to slap him, that was unforgivable. He would never hit a woman, but somehow he did something worse, made a woman hit him. So he turned to face her, eyes apologetic but determined.

“Nami-san, I will do whatever it takes, however long it takes, to make things right. You giving me a chance to is all I could ever ask of you” he spoke sincerely, bowing his head slightly. A part of him wanted to hold and kiss her hand in promise, but he knew better than to let his emotions make things more complicated. Things had to naturally go back to normal, and Sanji owed it to them both, to earn her forgiveness in time. The first step was to not be took awkward, he’d at least try to do what he would usually at this hour.

“I can get you something to drink if you want, what would you like?” Sanji asked her, trying to be more casual like his old self. As this point he didn’t trust himself to get Nami her favourite, what if she didn’t feel like it? He was being cautious, hopefully that was change back to normal in time too.

No Help Needed [Sanji & Nami]

@chatcambrioleur asked // Feb 1 · 8 days ago

“if i wanted help, i would have asked.” sanji! more random dialogue prompts

The Straw Hat pirates had just arrived on a new island, and were soon ambushed by some Marine ships that happened to be leaving there. The next thing they knew, they were surrounded and were forced into battle to protect the Sunny.

“Sorry, Nami-san! I figured you had better things to do than deal with that!” Sanji called to her over the noise after kicking a cannonball away, having it hit another cannonball to cause them both to explode.  As much as he tried to keep his distance from her, show that even to him she wasn’t always the damsel, sometimes his body still moved on its own.

// Not His Birthday [Sanji & Nami] - Part 3

“Wait, you were just playing?” Sanji sniffed, reassured by Nami’s touch. Now he wished she really did get paid to do all that on purpose, his dramatics were not earned.

“I’m sorry, Namis-an, I should have known you were messing with me,” he admitted with a sigh. He should have trusted in her more, he just assumed once one of his crew forgot about his birthday, the rest would follow. Sanji smiled gratefully at her, he might go through with things too.

“Well while you’re in here, you want to help me out with ideas for Franky’s birthday cake?”

"Sanji-kun!" Goodness, could he be anymore dramatic? She sighed, giggling softly, as she followed him to the kitchen. She didn't realize she held his oh-so-fragile heart in vice grip, ready to crumble at any moment. She reached for his wrist, pushing dangling, blonde waves away from his eyes.

"You're silly. You know I'd never forget your birthday."

// Not His Birthday [Sanji & Nami] - Part 2

"..." How did it hurt even more? Well obviously Sanji wasn't seeing things clearly, all he saw was innocent Nami,, who had forgotten his birthday. Maybe Law did something to her heart and or memories while she was sleeping? Damn it, even if he did, Sanji could not prove it.

"Exactly, so I'm going to start on making the birthday cake now, Franky's birthday cake..." Sanji decided, shoulders slumped as he dragged himself to the kitchen to start on his birthday cake. At this rate with his silent crying, it'll probably be a bit salty from all his tears!

// well he should know better, I'm sorry he's such a drama queen lmao

"Do what to you?" The navigator repeated, sweetly, airily. Completely innocent, and certainly not messing with her favorite cook. Of course, she would never forget his birthday. He was discouraged so easily; it was rather sad, actually.

"That's right. Franky's is next week." She clicked her tongue with a sigh. "Thank goodness you remembered, Sanji-kun --- it would be a shame to forget someone's birthday." It was near impossible to stop the catlike smirk from curling on her lips.
