SanUso but in a "never meant to be" type of way because i love pain
I'm talking: Sanji allowing himself to feel on a far too romantic night on the merry, looking at the stars with Usopp. After a long day or night in which he felt the connection between them flourish.
"Do you think we are soulmates in every universe?" He would ask, with a hopeful spark in his eye.
"I don't think we are even in this one" Usopp would pull himself back, awkwardly stepping further from his crew mate - trying to laugh it off.
I'M TALKING ABOUT -
Sanji not knowing why he hated a girl he'd never met. Or why it was the specific one Usopp never stopped talking about. How could he ever feel something so ugly towards a lady, but there he was - frowning because he heard "Kaya" in Usopp's mouth again.
And Usopp getting sad every time Sanji threw himself in the arms of another unwilling woman. At first he had perhaps secondhand embarrassment, maybe pity or jealous of his boldness. In any case, he wouldn't like thinking about it, finding it would be best if he just distanced himself from Sanji all together.
or like,
even after they achieved their dreams, maybe even parted ways, they both felt they needed something. Sanji proposed a hug goodbye, but it only made the void between them grow. Usopp could feel he wanted something but dwelling on it too much would make the pit of regrets crumble on him. Sanji just tried to convince himself he was over it.
sanji :]
I can feel the angst
Soulmate au where your soulmate's first words they spoke to you are written on your body. Which is great for wedding planner sanji because he has "hello, I'm usopp, nice to meet you" which contains a name and that's awdome for him because it'll be easier to find out who he is. But them he meets usopp and kaia for their wedding consultations and and usopp introduces himself like "hello, I'm usopp, nice to meet you." and suddenly all the gaslighting he did to himself is gone because of course Usopp isn't a common name and of course his soulmate will mary someone else.
Sojhe grits his teeth and smiles, responding with the most generic thing he could think of as to not let him know that they're soulmates.
"Nice to meet you too." They shake hands and this whole time Sanji has to act like everything is fine and his life isn't crumbling in front of him.
At the end he decides to ask them: "How did you know that you two were soulmates?" knowing fully well they're delusional and they WEREN'T soulmates.
But Usopp responds with: "We aren't but both me and her have such generic things that it could be literally anyone so we decided - what the hell, why wait for someone we definitely missed when we already love each other. For all we know we could be dead tomorrow and we'll never be able to be happy if we follow some kind of abstract rules."
Kaya had a simple "Hello!" and Usopp revealed his "Nice to meet you too." To which Usopp laughed saying "I know, I know, it's so generic that if i overthink it even you could be my soulmate. How hilarious, right?"
And all Sanji could do was show some teeth, hope it looked like a smile and force out a "haha, yeah. Hilarious."
