I just want to say thanks again to Joule (@chefalier) for being such a wonderful RP partner and friend. Even when I get moody and upset with him, I can't stay mad at him long. He's too nice and understanding for that. ^^ Thank you for putting up with this burnt marshmallow for two years! ♡

They’ve long since left Big Mom’s territory and was on their way to Zou, and Sanji quickly fell back into the task of preparing meals and things may have seem okay at first…but….

Luffy knows his nakama.  And even though he wouldn’t be able to explain it in so many words, he knows not everything was okay as it should be, and Sanji was still feeling bad about what happened on Whole Cake Island.

Which was stupid. 

After all, everything was settled and dealt with, and Sanji was back where he belongs — as a Strawhat searching for All Blue. They were well on their way to being reunited with the whole crew — and this time including Jinbei. And Luffy already forgave everything the cook could have been sorry for. 

But, if Sanji needed more reassurance, Luffy can provide just that. Which was why he wrapped his rubber arms multiple times around the cook, and exclaimed with as much pride and love in his voice as he could muster, “I’m really glad you’re back, Sanji!”

Moments of synergy were bound to happen despite the general attitude between the pair; an understanding similar to his unspoken language with their captain. After all, they were the MONSTERS of their crew. Even devils had to work together sometimes.

It was during one of the very rare peaceful moments on Sunny. After all, with a crew like the Strawhats there was usually something in the brewing. Whether that was Marine attacks, plans to challenge a Yonko, needing to retrieve a nakama who somehow lost their way, or just general shenanigans that the crew came up with. But tonight there was none of that. And they were all enjoying it to the fullest. 

In fact, Luffy didn’t even notice at first. There was a huge party in celebration of their newest victory — and a long-awaited reunion of the entire crew — and most of the Strawhats were passed on the deck out already. Normally Luffy himself would be one of the first to fall asleep — but somehow, this time, he was brimming with energy, and didn’t even want to sleep. ( and if he somehow still felt like he was waiting — he couldn’t say what for. )

But eventually he paused in the middle of one of his enthusiastic retelling of a story he’s heard, and realized that there was a slight pressure on his shoulder. He turned to see what it was and only received a face full of blond hair, but it was enough. 

“Ohh, Sanji’s asleep!” And the volume definitely should have been lower for such a statement, but it seems the cook was more tired than he let on, for he barely even twitched. 

And it sure was a surprise, because usually the only times Luffy is this close to Sanji for so long is when there is food involved, or there is a fight, or some combination of the two — but this time there wasn’t really either, but it was comfortable. 

He blinked and looked around the deck, seeing the rest of his crew as they all laid in various positions seemingly without a care in the world, feeling Sunny in the grass underneath him and the wood at his back, and —— it was really comfortable. 

( and the feeling of waiting faded easily, for he had all his nakama with him, all together once more. and no one was thinking of leaving, and he got Sanji back where he belonged, even though he was being stubborn for a while there — and there was nothing else that currently mattered. not right now, where he had all of them. )
