appealing to straight people by publicly condemning those you deem too queer in your community will trap you in a cycle of shame until you die no matter how much you want the opposite to be true. you will not gain the acceptance

summary : you and sanji made a wager. you catch him in the act of losing without telling you. you have to punish him, and of course reward him. spare the rod, spoil the child as the saying goes right?

author's note : inspired by my goat's post here @winter-pear (i dont want a peep out of you)

Sanji never knew you to be so cruel.

You are always gentle with him, offering him kind words and praise for all his hard work. It makes him so very soft for you, an achilles’s heel of sorts, nothing makes his heart race more than your approval. It’s why it hurts so much that you have him like this - forced by your word alone to sit in the chair for your vanity, gripping the armrest while you lay back in the bed you both share. Naked, soft and glowing in the low light of the room as you moan around one of your toys. A purple rabbit vibrator that you had sneaked away from the love hotel you both stayed at on the previous island.

He remembers how you cried around it when it was him using it, now fate has hit him on the other side with the pendulum’s swing and Sanji feels like weeping. The stage that had set these events was simple ; a wager between lovers. You were eager to win, your competitiveness alight as he raised the bet to merely see who could go longer without pleasing themselves until the next island. Sanji was confident, too confident for your wicked ways and you had even used the summer heat to your advantage. Each day brought a new tempting outfit - a sun dress, a short skirt, shorts that cut into the plushness of your thighs. What broke him was you tanning on the deck with the girls, the strings of your swimsuit untied and back bare for the sun.
