...Hm.

It could look worse, I guess.

...

Actually.

No. It couldn't.

Goddammit. Whatever.

ANYWAY. Straw Hats, we kinda need to...go pick someone up. I told him we'd be there in...oh...negative five weeks. Ahah. Nami-sa—er. Na...mi.....nngh - she says we're leaving right after lunch. So get your shit together!


P.S. I haven't had a cigarette in almost three days. You've been warned. Not that you NEED to be warned, because I'm totally fine.

P.P.S. Chopper says he's gonna take my stitches out tomorrow. THANK FUCK.

P.P.P.S. Zoro is an idiot.



[ooc: SO SANJI NOW LOOKS LIKE THIS. Minus the smile. As he is none too pleased at the moment, haha. \o/]

Who found George originally? Luffy?

Lots of people that.

Err. Nothing.
Kind of. Not exactly. I'm mostly confused and I can't sort it out. And the only person who would normally make sense of it isn't around, so you know. Don't worry about it too much. It's under control. Just thinking out loud I guess. How's the cookie baking going?

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Yep. Think he just up and asked her to come with us. Good thing, too.

Nothing—just tell me!

Oh. Well. Good luck? I mean, if you want to talk I don’t mind listening and...trying to help.

It’s going fine. They’re cookies.

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Luffy is amazing at finding good nakama.

Shit. I just forgot for a second that you're younger than me.

Well uh. Hm. It's just. Mixed up, you know? Ahhh I explained it to George and Lucci once but I don't want to bother them now with everything. I don't mind the monogamy I just keep feeling like I'm missing out on something. But nothing's better than Marco. So that's what I don't get. I think. Or I don't even know what I don't get, which is more confusing.

What kind?

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He is.

…Oh. I’m not that much younger. I mean, it’s not like I’m a goddamn virgin or something, but growing up on a floating restaurant in the middle of the ocean surrounded by a bunch of other shitty cooks all the time ain’t exactly the easiest place to find a girlfriend. That’s all. Never even slept with the same person more than like…two or three times tops till – a month ago.

They’re a little preoccupied at the moment anyway. …How long have you guys been together?

Every kind, ahah. So, actually, if you want to pick us up some flour and sugar…

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Like Brooke! And Nami. And actually just everyone.

Yeah I know what you mean. I didn't even realize I was in a relationship until he basically declared it.

Yeah exactly. Oh, hell... I don't know. A couple of years? Things were... a lot different before Thatch. Thatch was sort of the one who tried to get me to talk to more people in the crew and I think he probably got Marco to try harder with me. They were really close. I don't know. Marco says he's always been this way about me, but I think the Thatch thing is affecting him more than he realizes.

Can do! And chocolate chips. Do you have enough eggs?

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

We're all pretty fucking awesome, yeah.

Heh. Snuck up on you, huh?

...A couple years? Jesus fuck. Well if you’re not bored of him and there’s nothing better than him and you still feel like you’re missing out on something, then maybe you just...want more? What's this Thatch thing about, should I know about that?

Definitely chocolate chips. And...yeah, probably need more eggs. Oh, and vanilla!

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

That you are. My crew's still better but you can all be 2nd best. It's a good number.

Just a bit.

Well ahhh... we weren't exclusive until recently. October. We used to go months without seeing each other before. He's a pretty popular guy so I always thought he'd want more and that's just how it was, I didn't even think I could have more. Just pirates, nakama, that's how it was. When I messed up with Blackbeard and they had to come get me, things changed. Maybe Marco was more worried about losing me or something. Makes sense.
Well Thatch was... 4th division commander. Really close to both of us. Blackbeard... Thatch.... Blackbeard killed Thatch. That's why I had to get him.

Okay let me make a list.
Flour, sugar, chocolate, chips, eggs, and vanilla. Anything else?
Just how many cookies have you been making? Is Luffy going to be a beach ball when I get there?

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

First is the worst, second is the best.

So. It was mostly just sex before? Well, I mean, you're nakama so there's always that, but - you know what I mean.

...Oh shit, right. I did know that, just. Forgot his name. Sorry.

Nah, I think that's it. And...ahah. Your brother is already a beach ball, yep. I have cookies practically stacked up to the ceiling. IT'S A GOOD DISTRACTION, OKAY.

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

That's why I'm second division commander. Mwahahaha.

Yes. Only he told me recently he stopped sleeping with anyone else soon after he started with me. I didn't know that. I always thought he was with a bunch of others. So it's all strange, now. Not what I expected.

It's okay. I haven't talked much about him for the last... year and a half? It feels like just yesterday he was kidding me around and trying to get me to eat something.

Mmm... cookies. Hahaha! Yes! I love beachball Luffy! Roll him down the stairs! It's hilarious!
Okay I'll be right over! And take a dozen hundred off your hands.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

...Touché, haha.

He in love with you?

Yeah, well. Understandably. It's not like you just get over that kind of thing.

Haha, alright, they'll be waiting for you.

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Best number there is.

Y-yeah... he is actually.

Hn. Killing Blackbeard should help.

Awesome! You're the best Sanji!
Mind if I bring the overprotective boyfriend again? He's freaking out all over one little fight. Psycho...

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

...You in love with him?

Right, yeah... But seeing how well attempts in the past have been to do that, you might want to...not be reckless about it.

I don't mind. What fight?

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

I... I... I ... uh... I do like... I do... as a nakama I really love him! I jsut... Fuck. What's wrong with me?

I promise Pops not to go alone again. I'm still mad.

Thanks.
Teeny tiny fight in town with some pirates who recognized me. I fucking hate Sengoku. That broadcast... maybe I really should start wearing my jacket more often.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Nothing. But there's your problem. Did he just tell you recently or something? Seems like it threw you all off.

Good. When you've got people who want to back you up, you shouldn't do stupid shit by yourself.

...Way to go. You are pretty recognizable, dumbass. Can't just go waltzing around wherever you goddamn please and expect it to NOT stir up trouble.

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

In October. About the same time as I promised not to sleep with anyone else or the rest. And yeah it threw me off then. But it's January. Months later. And I love it when he says it, I want to say it back I just... can't... I don't even know why.
Look have you ever been in love?

Hn. They wanted to let him go Sanji. They said it was an exception because he used to be one of us. That just makes it worse! Why can't they see that? He killed Thatch, he disrespected Pops and they were just going to get let it go! And it was my job to prevent that! Teach was in MY division. And Marco and the others keep saying we all bear responsibility but they're just saying it to calm me down.

Che. I've had some problems before. Not like this. I mean yeah, there's two types of pirates. Those that avoid picking trouble with Whitebeard's crew, and those that purposely seek us out but no one knew how to bait me that easily before.
I know. I know. My fault even falling for it. I know.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Well at least you're not saying it because you feel like you should. You can't rush that shit - when you're ready to say it, you will!

...No. Not like that. I might fall for every girl that walks by and I love Nami and Robin and George and Michiko, but I'm not...in love with them. Haven't had the opportunity to experience that feeling yet.

Or...they're telling the truth and really do feel like it's everyone's responsibility. He may have been in your division, but he was also part of their crew.

Heh. Well if you know, then I don't gotta say anything.

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure Marco doesn't mind that I haven't said it. If he's noticed at all. He just says it because he's happy and wants to, which is great.

Hm. They always say when it happens, you just know. Only, I don't know. So what now? I mean yeah, I've got time but only hypothetically. After almost being executed and shit I don't want to delay forever. And I'm pretty sure I'm missing out on something good.

Hn. Pops... did... he said.... He and Marco said if they couldn't tell then Teach fooled everyone. I guess it is kind of... egotistical to think I'd know better than Pops. Thanks Sanji... Still going to kill that fucker.

Yup.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Those are probably the best reasons to say it.

Dunno, man. You're happy with him, right? Maybe you don't need to slap a label on your feelings.

...You've clearly made so much progress.

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

I am. Hm. Yeah. I guess a little longer probably won't hurt. It's all... right now it's really tangled in other things. The whole idea that I can have him for myself is... Nice. But really strange. He's the big brother of the crew. Of all of us. And sometimes we kid him around about being the Mom is Pops is Dad. Because he worries so much. I still can't get used to it. You know? I guess I just spent so long thinking it was different. Che. I feel bad talking about myself all this time. Everyone's always helping me and the minute I try to help back I make things worse. But if you ever want it Sanji, it's there.

Hn. I'm working on it. At least I didn't burn the entire town today. Gotta count for something.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Look, not that I know a whole lot about it, but I get that moving from just nakama to more-than-nakama is kinda weird at first. So don't force it. If he's happy with things as they are for now, then just take your time and let yourself get used to the idea. If you worry too much, you're just gonna stress yourself out. Anyway, I find that nearly every time I overthink stuff, I just make shit worse.

...And thanks, I'll keep that mind. I don't think you make things worse.

Haha, yeah, I guess it does.

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He is happy. And it's good right now. I'm happy so that's good.
Okay, no over thinking! Thanks Sanji.

Hah, you did catch the part about me chasing Blackbeard alone, so my whole crew came to bail my sorry ass out of being executed, right?

Che. Good thing Leo was nearby. Marco is not good at dealing with people when one of us have been hurt. Crew thing. He goes in superman mode and won't let anyone touch us. I really admire that guy, but he can still be pretty psychotic about some things.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

You guys are lucky. That you're happy.

Okay, well that is a little different than trying to shell out advice to friends.

I feel like most pirates can be pretty psychotic about some things, heh.

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Pirate way. Take what you get while you can get it because it sure as hell won't last forever.

Maybe... I mean... I thought so... I thought since I was such a fuck-up at one I could do the other but Lucci... hn. Never mind. I'm good at listening. And holding liquor and offering a shoulder. I guess that's the most I can do. I'm not a very good friend really.

... That's a really good point. And he's so rationale about everything else there had to be like one thing he'd go crazy over. It's just not human otherwise.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Yeah, too bad not everyone thinks like that.

Oh, don't worry about Lucci. It's not like you forced him to take your advice. Anyway, it's all working out. Sort of. And what the hell, who said you're not a good friend?

I should actually talk to him more when he's here this time.

/blatantly ignores the who said not a good friend question

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

No? Someone in particular?

Yeah but... hn. I don't know. Maybe I should just leave it to people like you and Thatch. You're good at it. Really good.

Yeah he needs to get out more. He's a workaholic, so he doesn't make too many friends outside the crew. Even when he has to meet someone outside the crew he gets all... snippy. Like with Shanks.
