More RLS!siblings cause i'm obsessed- what if Sanji had photographic camera during the timw was with Robin and Law before the storm?
He gets it some weeks after being saved by R and L, and one afternoon he just looks at it from outside some store but don't mention how much he liked the camera, but the two older noticed either way.
So one of them buy this and gift Sanji the camera. After this, every time they get to have at least a little bit of peace and fun, Sanji takes a photo. Sometimes other person do it.
(I hc that the RLS stayed together for two years, so the storm happen and Sanji stop directly in the rock) The picture they like the most is from Sanji's 10 years-old birthday, and is also the last one they took.
Law stayed with the camera and decided to get all the photos in a box hidden in his bedroom. Only Bepo, Sachi and Penguin know about it.
After Wano, Law give a copy of their favorite photo to Robin and Sanji, and let's them look at the photos in the box.
(Luffy, of course, drags himself and his poor brothers to look at the photos too)
Amazing. Your glorious brain is glorious. It is also absolutely heart wrenching to know they only had each other for two years.
They're walking around a town a few weeks after getting Sanji and he keeps seeing snail cameras and Robin and Law keep sharing looks. Sanji is so quiet and doesn't talk unless answering questions. He just follows suit. So of course they surprise him with it and smile softly and hold him at the tears that fall. They know he's been through hell, they all have, but his is still fresh.
Sanji takes photos of whatever he deems important, mostly of his new siblings and the rare peaceful moments. Robin and Law take photos of him as well because otherwise there would be no photos of little Sanji. There are photos of the three of them. Their first boat, random slow nights camped out somewhere. When they found Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin, everyone's birthdays.
I feel like it's Shachi, Bepo, and Penguin who make them celebrate birthdays. The last one they all celebrate together would be Sanji's because fuck him I guess. We're going to hurt this kid. The party is just for the six of them. Robin some how acquired a cake which Law scrunches his fifteen year old nose at but does eat a small, I mean small, slice of. Robin used her fruit to take the photo of the six of them with Sanji in the middle being held by Bepo as Shachi and Penguin look jealous of the bear. Robin and Law are smiling, actually smiling, as Sanji is laughing as Bepo is nuzzling Sanji.
Then the storm happens and they're gone. Law is staring blankly at the camera for a couple weeks in his depressive state before getting the film developed. Bepo frames the photo of the birthday party and hangs it in Law's room. Then on the Tang it is glued to the wall. Law frowns at Bepo as Shachi and Penguin sit on his bed and go through the photos and coo.
During the dinner with ASL because this has to happen at the same time truthfully. Robin mentions offhandedly about how sad it is they don't have the photos anymore and Sanji agrees. Luffy is sad they don't have photos anymore because little Sanji has to be as cute as big Sanji and Robin hums and mentions that Sanji looked like a little skeleton with a soft smile and calling him adorable. Law mentions he does have the photos and shambles them birthday photo off his wall and goes and gets the box from under his bed. He comes back with them as they all look.
"Ah, my tenth birthday, our last good memory." Sanji laughs at the picture as Robin shows it to the table.
"I like how this is one of three photos we have of Law smiling." Robin agrees. They go through the other photos and reminince. Luffy whines that he and his brothers should have done something similar growing up bu they didn't. Robin says she assumed they were lost in the storm as well but clearly not. Law holds up a photo of Sanji looking like Robin said, a little skeleton, being held by Robin as they look at the stars.
A few weeks later a box arrives on the Sunny from the Tang, copies off all the photos and the birthday photo in a frame, and a camera. So now Robin and Sanji are showing everyone else the photos. Telling the stories behind them and their time together as the first members of the Heart Pirates.
Photo exchanges happen all the time now, much to Law's dismay.
