every time I look for one piece merch,,,,i find those fUCking snails of them,,,i don't know why but they just, kill me. could i request something where s/o finds Sanji (i really think you would end Ace's in angst so I'm not asking) in little snail trinket statue form and of course buys it? i think he would be so offended by that thing and now s/o's cuddling the ugly bastard-
Sanji thinks all DenDen Mushi are kind of weird looking, and he'd be so confused when he walked in on his s/o cuddling and cooing over a snail that had his curly eyebrows and a little black suit on, and even a little fake cigarette in its mouth.
When his s/o proudly showed off the little guy and explained that they'd had it customized to look like him, he was even more confused. He'd be a little pouty and dramatic, hugging his s/o to ask if he wasn't good enough for them and that's why they had to get a slimy little version of him to cuddle up to. He'd promise to be there for his darling as often as they'd like, especially if it meant they'd get rid of that weird little bugger.
When his s/o stubbornly insisted that they would NEVER get rid of such a cutie, he pouted more and gave the DenDen Mushi a side-eyed glare--it just stared back at him, unblinking, which annoyed him even more. It was just so creepy looking, especially when it was dressed like him. Why was his s/o so attracted to such an ugly, mucus-covered fake version of him when the real thing was so much better?
He wouldn't want to hurt his s/o's feelings though, so he'd begrudgingly let them keep their custom DenDen Mushi without much complaining--well, when ____ was around. His s/o named the little creature "Snail-ji", but Sanji always called it "Slimy" under his breath. If his s/o left the room and left Sanji alone with Snail-ji, he'd turn the little guy around so it wouldn't stare at Sanji with its big creepy eyes.
Over time though, he would start to warm up to his s/o's DenDen Mushi until his jealous dislike became a cool indifference. Whenever his s/o would cuddle Snail-ji and gently pet under his chin, Sanji would hug his s/o from behind and ask if he could get some attention as well. When his s/o smirked and turned around to cup his chin and play with his hair, he'd immediately start blushing and he'd gently pull them onto the nearest couch/bed/seat for a full-out cuddle session. He wouldn't even care that Snail-ji was staring at them, he'd just be happy to get some love from his sweetheart.
