(Y/n) = your name

I was awakened by a knock coming from my door. I tried to wake me up and I yawned, I couldn't just stay in bed? The door flew open. "Good morning, Princess! I brought you some breakfast!" Sanji appeared in the doorway with a tray full of goodies. "Sanji! You shouldn't have!" The cook came, bringing me the tray to bed. "I thought it was a nice gesture, isn't it, (Y/n)?" I lifted my gaze on him. "Thank you so much." Sanji laughed. "Anything to see your face lit by a smile. It makes you even more beautiful." I blushed to those words. "When I finish I'm taking you these things in the kitchen." "I'll do it. So I can peek around here..." "No!" I protested. Sanji was demoralized. "You are all selfish. Tell me, would you by chance show me your..." "Sanji!" "I get it! See you later!" And he closed the door. I sighed. Yes, for him we were all like that. Sanji didn't make distinctions if it was girls, he would try to win them over. Whenever he saw a girl, it was enough that she was quite pretty. This happened even with me. At the moment when the pirate laid eyes on me he began to treat me like a princess. At first I was flattered, but soon I changed my mind. I was just one of many. Nothing more.

I took the tray with cups and cutlery in the kitchen. I opened the door and found it strangely deserted. I saw the sink full of dishes, evidently our cook hadn't yet had time to wash them. He was always so nice to cook for everybody, especially with us girls when bringing us snacks during the day. Try to help him seemed like a good way to counter. So I did get off the water and started to wash.

"A Princess shouldn't ruin her hands doing the work that don't suit her." A chill crossed my back when I heard these words whispered in my ear. I bit my lip. I would have preferred that he didn't makr this effect on me and I hoped that he hadn't noticed the tension in my body. He slid his hands down my arms until he reached my hands between water and dishes, forcing me to leave what I was holding. "Sanji..." I protested, despite the proximity of his body wasn't creating the slightest disturbance, indeed. "I don't want to, (Y/n)." I rescued me from his grip and blow drying my hands, then I moved the towel to Sanji. "I was just trying to help Sanji." I whispered looking down. I heard him get close to me, then he lifted my chin with one hand and when I saw his gaze on me I couldn't avoid blush. "They taught me how to treat girls like you should, it's stronger than me, (Y/n); It's a matter of principle, then it's even easier when one is so beautiful." For a moment I was captivated by his words, but then I tried to get back to reality. "You say that to all girls Sanji." And I walked away from him. He sighed. "I can't argue with that. It is one thing to which I am accustomed, but" "What?" I whispered with that stupid hope in my heart. "With you it's different, (Y/n)." "Different how?" "To me you're not like the others. I... I see you differently. You represent something else, because you're not a hobby." For a moment I wondered if I was imagining everything or if those words really came from the mouth of Sanji. "R-really?" It was the only thing that I managed to say. He smiled at me. "Why on earth would I lie to you?" And he returned to approach me. This time I didn't move. If all this was true I would have profited. He took my hand as he approach me. He placed his hand behind my back and hold me to him. My heart was beating faster. "In your case, beauty is a feature that is in addition to the many qualities you possess. You're smart, nice, tender, sensitive... You're perfect. Perfect for me." I looked at him with dreamy eyes. I placed a hand on his chest. "And then, if Icm perfect... What are you waiting to kiss me?" I managed to finish the sentence before I felt Sanji's lips on mine. He left my hand to bring its on my waist and I moved mine on his neck, entwining my fingers into his hair. "However..." Whispered Sanji on my lips. "So glad you decided to help me, (Y/n)." I laughed. "See that? You should be thanking me... " "Oh, then we can resume our activities." "Wait! And lunch? Soon the others... " Sanji sighed. "The others can wait. The cook has more important matters to attend to." And he went back to kissing me. Well, if he preferred my lips to the kitchen I could stay quiet. It meant that I really had an important place in his life.
