he makes you pancakes in the morning.
there's three of them, stacked upon each other, golden and thick and fluffy with butter in between and whipped cream on top and amber syrup dripping down the sides, pooling underneath halves of fresh strawberries. it's a piece of art, really. you worry that you might tip it over and waste all of his effort.
the bed dips as he sits on the edge of it. sanji smiles at you, eyes sweet and bright blue in the morning light, and when you glance at his clothes you can still see the haste of powdered sugar dusted upon them.
your heart swells as you pick up the knife and fork.
idle chatter fills the small room like the aroma of vanilla, soft and warm, while you share your breakfast. sanji does this often with you, food and conversation; at one point, you had thought that the former was merely an excuse for the latter, but you have since learned that the two are inextricably linked. he's happiest when people eat. it's his love, oceans wide and oceans deep, in its purest form.
when the plate is empty, he takes the tray from you, and you rise with it and walk with him to the kitchen despite his protests. seconds are obviously in order, you explain, because he had half of your firsts. you'll have to share three more to break even.
he laughs. whatever you like, he tells you as your feet hit the bottom of the stairs. how about we make them together?
(together, for the rest of your life, if you want. every morning, every moment of the day, seconds, thirds, fourths. everything he has and then some until you never want for anything again.)
let's do that, you agree.
you feel very loved, indeed.

I have my criticisms of Valentine's Day, but one that I'm starting to change my mind about is 'Why do you need a specific day to show someone you love them? You can do that whenever'. Because yeah, that's true. But it's also true of Mother's Day and Father's Day, of birthdays, of almost any holiday. No, you shouldn't need a specific day to treat your partner (or friend or anyone else you love), but there's no harm in having an extra excuse to celebrate. And if your partner only makes an effort on Valentine's Day... That's not the day's fault.
