It was a snowy day. A heavy, gray, cold, snowy day.

The type of day where there wasn’t any action on the Sunny till the late afternoon, when the warm retreat under the crews covers loses it’s comfort by hunger or the urge to relieve their bladders or check their heading for trouble.

Not that everyone slept in.

Sanji always woke up on these mornings, showered, bundled up hurried to the galley, and cooked. He was used to the routine and when his nakama did brave a trek up onto the icy deck he wanted to be sure to have something ready for them.

Luffy was there too. Sometimes he’d beat Sanji there. He didn’t bundle up or shower, he just ran to the galley fast as he could, sometimes barefoot like an idiot. Sanji didn’t ask why their captain didn’t stay tucked under his covers on these days.

Food would be the obvious answer. Luffy never missed a meal of Sanji’s if he could help it.

The more subtle answer was company, escape from the silent stillness that settles over the ship and ocean oppressively on these days.

So Sanji would let Luffy wear his jacket if needed while the galley warmed with the additional warmth of the stove. Something on the stovetop now and something baking for later. Luffy would crack jokes, be silly, and ask questions. The two would eat together and play cards and then eat some more while telling stories.

Sanji loved these days, soon enough Luffy would be king of the pirates and he’d have to share him with the world but not today.

Luffy loved these days because Sanji gave him all of the attention a nakama could want, and if he asked nicely, more.

It made the coldest days more than warm.
