Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
LuSan Headcanon
After a quick snack, Luffy is rendered harmless to the kitchen for a small time.
It's pretty easy to see when Luffy wants attention. But, Sanji can't let his boyfriend's need for attention pull him away from his work. To accomodate both his jobs as chef and boyfriend, he prepares a special snack plate that's specifically for these moments.
Luffy will climb onto one of the barstools that sit in front of the counter Sanji preps food on. The plate will be set in front of him and he'll happily beginning to munch. Once the snack plate becomes a regular, expected experience, Luffy begins to eat from it slower. He'll actually take his time. Using smaller bites to make the treats last longer.
While Luffy is eating, one of two things will usually happen.
Sanji will start to explain what he's doing with the food he is currently preparing. Going into detail about what kind of ingredients and cooking methods he'll be using. Or his complaints with the recipe he'd found and is currently fixing. A lot of it doesn't make a lot of sense, but Luffy loves the cadence of Sanji's voice. It's passionate and just a bit rough from smoking. Just the joy that seeps into the words as Sanji talks about cooking has Luffy stopping mid-chew to watch him in awe.
Alternatively, it can be Luffy talking while he eats. He always starts with the dumplings on the plate. it's easy to talk between bites. Sanji having trained him to at least not talk with his mouth full if they're going to make this work. It's difficult for the captain's unruly, impulsive mind, but he tries his best for Sanji. Luffy loves to tell Sanji stories while eating the snack plate. He'll tell stories about his childhood with his brothers, showing Sanji a window of what actual siblings are like. He'll tell stories about what he and other crewmates did the previous day. He'll even tell stories about all the battles he's done that Sanji wasn't around for. Oftentimes, the desire to be close to the chef will have Luffy rambling long past the snacks have finished.
Luffy will usually cross his arms on the counter and rest his chin on top, just watching his boyfriend lost in his passion. Sanji will look up periodically and smile at him. Sometimes, he even presses a treat to Luffy's lips.
