LuSan Scenario

Sanji is feeling overwhelmed. He won't tell anyone what happened, but he appears to be rattled. Doesn't want to explain how he saw something at the market of the new island they are on has triggered him. His eyes feel dry from keeping them open because if he closes them then he's suddenly back trapped in the hellscape he spent his childhood in. The experience leaves him feeling cold as he spends the rest of the evening in the kitchen to keep the others from seeing how his hands shake when he desperately lights cigarette after cigarette.

But nothing on the Sunny is a secret for long anymore though. Secrets lead to hurt feelings and bruised bonds.

Luffy is watching, just as he always does. From his seat atop of Sunny's head, head can see, sense, everything. As evening dips into night and the stars come out, Luffy watches Sanji's aura through his haki. Can see how that little waver in the aura has been there since Sanji came back from shore. Luffy has given it time to heal. Left Sanji alone to try and deal with the change in the status quo on his own.

But it has not changed.

Luffy is not patient and he's tired of waiting. Climbing down from his seat, heheads for the galley. He is silent as he steps in the door. The creak of the wood draws Sanji's attention to the door. Lifting his head, he gives Luffy a smile but it is tired and strained. The cook looks pallid. Luffy can see how dull his aura is.

Without a word, Luffy walks around the wall of the kitchen over to his lethargic boyfriend. He presses his forehead against Sanji's bicep. A low whine sounds in the captain's throat. Hand coming up to rest on the cook's forearm. Just below where his sleeve is rolled up. A gasp shudders in Sanji's chest as Luffy's warm palm tenderly strokes down Sanji's arm. Thumb stroking along the fine, blond hairs of his forearm. The soft slide of his hand only ending once his is resting over Sanji's. Fingers slipping between Sanji's, linking together both hand and spirit.

Sanji's lip begins to tremble. His skin tingling in a trail following the touch. Teeth biting deep into the paper of his cigarette. There's a slide of warmth as he feels Luffy's other arm carefully wrap around his thin waist. Hot lips brand his skin through the silk of his shirt as Luffy slowly kisses up Sanji's shoulder. Luffy is pressing up against his back now. Sturdy, warm, claiming.

"Captain?" Sanji's voice is hoarse. Dry from neglect, a denial of even a simple taste of water. No response comes from the man behind him. Luffy's nose presses the nape of his neck. Warm, measured breaths wafting down his collar. The press of a hot, wet kiss to his flesh has falling tears feeling like they're searing patterns into the skin of his cheeks.

Sanji's fractured walls crumble as he hears his own name breathed in adoration against his skin. A cry, hoarse and distressed, bursts from his throat. It feels like its tearing him apart inside. The strength leaves his legs as he cries freely, screaming his frustration and anguish. He collapses forward but never makes the painful contact of his ribs connecting with the edge of the counter.

Luffy is strong and sturdy behind him. Strength, so frightening yet so gentle, holds him up. The hand holding his squeezes, sharing his captain's strength. He looks back at his love and keens weakly, vision watering so intensely that the other's image thoroughly distorted. "L-luffy?"

That solid, serious expression on Luffy's face shatters immediately. Dark eyes glinting, his mouth pulls up in a smile that only Luffy could manage. Suddenly, with little to no effort, Sanji is being scooped up bridal style. Cradled to his beloved's scarred chest, Sanji gasps.

"Shihihi, my Sanji." Luffy giggles, booping the tips of their noses together.
