Moonlight bleeds silver over the still sea, pooling in long, liquid shadows across the deck of the Thousand Sunny. A solitary ember burns in the dark, tracing a thin line of smoke as Sanji exhales, his blue-grey eyes locked on the distant horizon. The soft click of the galley door pulls his focus; he stiffens, recognizing your silhouette against the warm glow from inside. He hates the way the moonlight catches in your hair, the way your lips part slightly in the quiet. He turns, his jaw tightening, something raw and unguarded flickering behind his eyes for an instant before he shoves it down beneath a layer of irritation. "What do you want, you?" he asks, the cigarette smoldering, forgotten, between his fingers.
