10 World-Building Aspects You Probably Overlooked

How to Write a Character Who Feels Like Throwing Up

When fear, dread, or guilt gets sickening—literally—your character is consumed with a gut-clenching feeling that something is very, very wrong. Here's how to write that emotion using more than the classic "bile rose to the back of their throat".

Start with the Stomach

This isn’t just about discomfort. It’s about a complete rebellion happening inside their body.

Their stomach twists like a knot that keeps pulling tighter

A cold sweat beads on their neck, their palms, their spine

Their insides feel sludgy, like everything they’ve eaten is suddenly unwelcome

They double over, not from pain, but because sitting still feels impossible

Add Sensory Overload

Vomiting isn’t just a stomach reaction—it’s the whole body.

Their mouth goes dry, and then too wet

Their jaw tightens, trying to contain it

A sudden heat blooms in their chest and face, overwhelming

The back of their throat burns—not bile, but the threat of it

Breathing becomes a conscious effort: in, out, shallow, sharp

Emotional Triggers

Nausea doesn’t always need a physical cause. Tie it to emotion for more impact:

Fear: The kind that’s silent and wide-eyed. They’re frozen, too sick to speak.

Guilt: Their hands are cold, but their face is flushed. Every memory plays like a film reel behind their eyes.

Shock: Something just snapped inside. Their body registered it before their brain did.

Ground It in Action

Don’t just describe the nausea—show them reacting to it.

They press a fist to their mouth, pretending it’s a cough

Their knees weaken, and they lean on a wall, pretending it’s just fatigue

They excuse themselves quietly, then collapse in a bathroom stall

They swallow, again and again, like that’ll keep everything down

Let the Consequences Linger

Even if they don’t actually throw up, the aftermath sticks.

A sour taste that won’t leave their mouth.

A pulsing headache

A body that feels hollowed out, shaky, untrustworthy

The shame of nearly losing control in front of someone else

Let Them Be Human

A character feeling like vomiting is vulnerable. It's real. It’s raw. It means they’re overwhelmed in a way they can’t hide. And that makes them relatable. You don’t need melodrama—you need truth. Capture that moment where the world spins, and they don’t know if it’s panic or flu or fear, but all they want is to get out of their own body for a second.

Don't just write the bile. Write the breakdown.

A/N: after finding out by @baby-tini there’s no yan alphabet of dabi, i had to contribute and be the first. Reblogs are appreciated!

MASTERLIST | DABI FLUFF ALPHABET

Affection- How do they show their love and affection? How intense would it get?

With Dabi it’s safe to say very intense. He feels everything so deeply, and he is very emotionally fragile too. He will give you his undivided attention and will expect the same in return. You should always look at him, nobody else. What he feels towards you is very unhealthy, his whole world revolves around you besides his other goals, he is quite emotionally dependent on you.

Won’t always shower you with the sweetest words but his actions clearly show the affection he has towards you, physical touch is actually this man’s love language.

Extremely clingy, always needs to hold your hand or your hip or touch your hair, always by your side everywhere you go.

Blood- How messy are they willing to get when it comes to their darling?

As expected from him, he is willing to burn everything down to the ground for you without any hesitation. You’re his weakest point and if anyone harms you ever so slightly, they’ll face a painful burning death.

He will also get rid of anyone that “threatens” your relationship, a certain friend, a coworker who was close to you (even worse if it’s a male). If Dabi gets the slightest doubt in his head that you are giving special attention to someone who is not him, it’s over for that person.

Cruelty- How would they treat their darling once abducted? Would they mock them?

I see him being able to calm you down with his strangely soothing voice and comforting words, you’d be screaming and crying and hyperventilating but suddenly he has managed to calm you down pretty good, grabbing your face gently with both hands and rubbing circles on your cheeks. He’s cooing in your ear that you’re such a good girl, that everything will be alright. He’ll kiss your tears, and tell you he’s gonna take care of you forever.

Darling-Aside from abduction, would they do anything against their darling’s will?

Other than kissing you, hugging you, making out with you and leaving marks on your neck, I do not see him going further. Dabi is more than capable to take you forcefully against your will and fuck you till you’re broken, but he doesn’t have the heart to, nor does he find any sick pleasure in that.

In his eyes it’s better to have you willing instead, he wants to make you fall for him in a way that has you hating yourself over such feelings. He will tease you, kiss you, make you feel hot and bothered but never take it further, until you’re the one actually begging him to do so. You’re the one who is suddenly grinding against him so needily, you don’t even realise it until you hear his low chuckle that has your cheeks hot. He loves the fact that you hate him so much yet your body is begging for his touch.

Exposed- How much of their heart do they bare to their darling? How vulnerable are they when it comes to their darling?

You won’t see him break down that easily at first, he knows you hate him and you wouldn’t care. Though as time passes you can actually see you and him becoming more intimate when it comes to feelings, mostly him, and it feels strange knowing that a fearful villain like him has in fact a fragile heart hidden beneath his cold, intimidating persona. He becomes more vulnerable with time, but not vulnerable enough to give you advantage of controlling him. He loves you yes, but he needs his own time to actually trust you.

Fight How would they feel if their darling fought back?

That bastard loves when you turn against him, he even encourages it sometimes, angering you on purpose just to see you trying to hit him. He knows he’s much stronger than you, but he still lets you hit him, maybe catching your hands to block you from movement, but he never hits you back.

To him you’re like a spicy little kitten, hissing and throwing a fit, 100% attack but 0% damage. He’ll call you little kitty too.

Game- Is this a game to them? How much would they enjoy watching their darling try to escape?

He enjoys a good game of cat and mouse. Just like any captive would do he knows you’d also try to escape many times. The thing is, you aren’t aware of the tracking device put on you, made by Skeptic at Dabi’s request.

Dabi gets a certain thrill watching you escape, thinking you’re so safe and finally able to go home, only for him to hunt you down again and bring you back to your real home. You keep him on his toes and he gets an adrenaline rush each time he plays with you like this. Deep down he has a sadistic side that loves watching you cry and kick him as he forcefully drags you back to the base.

Hell-What would be their darling’s worst experience with them?

When you anger him. Dabi is a very patient man, but if you take it too far by saying certain stuff that may touch his emotional side, that’s when you’re in for a ride.

It rarely happens when he really gets angry with you, but when it does you end up with burn marks on your body. He dangerously heats up the grip he has on you, and it burns so bad you keep crying even in the next days because the pain doesn’t go away. You learn it the hard way to be careful when you play with fire, because you’ll definitely get burnt.

Even if he didn’t use his quirk on you, the way his eyes darken has you shivering on your seat, its a sight that you’d never seen on him. Just like any other poor soul, you also learn to never get on this man’s bad side.

Ideals-What kind of future do they have in mind for/with their darling?

After having achieved his goals and turning the hero society to ashes, he plans to do his best to stay alive. If before he had made up his mind to die while taking down his dear ol’ dad too, now he will do anything to survive because your existence gave his life a whole other meaning.

In a world where villains have taken over, you’ll be by his side watching the world burn. He doesn’t see any other person next to him other than you, he is determined to keep you by your side till the day death do you both part.

Jealousy- Do they get jealous? Do they lash out or find a way to cope?

If there is a trait that would describe this man perfectly is jealousy. He is possessive, jealous, it feels like you’re walking on eggshells when interacting with other people in his presence. If he convinces himself that you looked a bit too longingly at someone else, or smiled a bit too much or were too friendly, he’ll hold it against you for the rest of the month.

If someone tries to get close to you or try and talk to you, Dabi will pop out of nowhere right beside you, wrapping a hand around your shoulder, driving people away with his threatening glare. People learn to always keep their distance from you and watch their words because they love their life enough to not get burned to death by the psycho on your side.

Kisses- How do they act around or with their darling?

Like I said, very clingy, very touchy, you need to be close to him no matter what, your hands must touch each other’s no matter what.

You wanna think of him as a devil, yet his kisses are heavenly, slow and passionate, but then they get rougher and more possessive as seconds pass by. His lips against yours and his tongue inside your mouth have you melting on the floor, it has you thinking and behaving in ways you’d never normally do. The fucker is a good kisser, it’s a good weapon he uses against you to have you gushing all over him, he loves the effect he has on you just by a few kisses.

Love letters- How would they go about courting or approaching their darling?

Dabi would learn the places you go to on daily basis, favorite cafe, your workplace/school, favorite shopping district, where you get your groceries etc. And then you’d suddenly run up to him, what a coincidence. Just more of an excuse for him to approach you and talk to you. His captivating blue eyes and husky voice easily pull you in his trap.

Flowers on your doorstep and written notes, letting you know how serious he is about you. You thought it was very romantic, but it wasn’t as romantic anymore after finding out later he is in fact a wanted villain.

Mask-Are their true colors drastically different from the way they act around everyone else?

Yes, because with you he gets to show his vulnerable side too, his deepest thoughts and feelings that he’d never show anyone.

Naughty- How would they punish their darling?

Tying you up in some dark room and not letting you out until he says so. It only happened once though.

Spanking is his favorite punishment, he’ll have you laid down on his lap, ass up as his heated palm comes down to leave bruising marks. He’ll have you count too and if you don’t count properly he’ll start from the beginning, getting off at the way you scream and cry.

You start thinking twice before doing something stupid again.

Oppression- How many rights would they take away from their darling?

No phone allowed until he trusts you enough, every contact with your old life is cut off, friends, family, everything. No going out allowed, not on your own at least, if you behave good he’ll take you out for walks everyday or eat in some nice place. Still he won’t go with you in crowded places until he’s sure you won’t pull off anything stupid to catch people’s attention.

Patience-How patient are they with their darling?

He is very patient. Doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have a certain limit which you must not cross.

Quit-If their darling dies, leaves, or successfully escapes, would they ever be able to move on?

The only way you’ll be able to escape him is if you die or he dies. No other way. If you manage to escape and go to heroes for help he would rather go wreak havoc and take you back with him rather than just sit back and do nothing. Even if you pull off some very successful escape and disappear off the face of earth, he will search the whole world until he finds you again. As long as he is alive and breathing, you shall never be free of him.

If you die, that’s another different story. It would completely shatter him from the inside, to the point he’d destroy himself. He’d blame himself from not protecting you good enough, he’d mourn by burning down everything and turning it to ashes, including himself.

Regret- Would they ever feel guilty about abducting their darling? Would they ever let their darling go?

Yes he would feel guilty. Unfortunately that guilt doesn’t overpower his love and obsession towards you. He is selfish and will keep you for himself, help you get used to your new life.

Stigma- What brought about this side of them [childhood, curiosity, etc]

[I don’t get this question I’ll let the readers fill it lmao]

Tears- How do they feel about seeing their darling scream, cry, and/or isolate themselves?

If he enjoys watching you cry at some point, he doesn’t like it when that crying and isolation goes for too long. He’ll try to give you your space, in hopes that you will calm down on your own. He gets you everything materialistic you could have wished for, pampering you in the best way possible, just to see you smile a bit.

Unique- Would they do anything different from the classic yandere?

Not sure. I honestly think Dabi as a character has some obsessive yandere traits, you can’t convince me otherwise. Because he is so consumed by his obsession towards a person, whether it is by feeling hatred or love, always thinking of them at some form, everything he does or thinks about revolves around the said person, his whole life is only about the said person. I totally see him behaving this way with a potential partner.

Vice- What weakness can their darling exploit in order to escape?

You could try to earn his trust, make him feel loved and seen, making him believe that you’ll never abandon him, you could use this as an advantage to plot your escape. But your weak heart won’t actually let you defy him and hurt him like this, it’s way too cruel.

Wit’s end- Would they ever hurt their darling?

Yes, sadly he would. When he’s lashing out at you his quirk might get out of control and accidentally hurt you in the process. Which he definitely regrets.

Xoanon-How much would they revere or worship their darling? To what length would they go to win their darling over

Dabi worships you in ways you’ll notice when he is all over your body, kissing you, doing anything just to give you pleasure, he doesn’t care for his own pleasure before yours, you’re the definition of beauty in his eyes.

He’ll compliment you and throw in flirty comments that have you trying to hide your blush.

Flowers, gifts, stolen trinkets, anything you have looked at for too long in the shopping mall he’ll get it for you. He’ll spoil you rotten, will go out of his way to get you your favorite jewellery that you’ve always dreamt of.

You’re a sight for sore eyes and he despises the fact that other people get the opportunity to look at someone as beautiful as you.

Yearn- How long do they pine after their darling before they snap?

I’d give it 5 months max. After stalking you, getting to know you better and studying you, he’d become so desperate to the point he finally kidnaps you. Dabi takes his time and makes sure everything falls into place perfectly before he executes his final plan, he is not one to rush things, hence why he is patient enough until the time has come to finally make you his.

Zenith-Would they ever break their darling?

If you’ve fallen for him and would willingly go back to him even if he let you free, means you’re already broken.

Sanji NSFW Alphabet (One Piece)

Pairing: Sanji (One Piece) x Reader

Rating: Fluffy Smut

Word Count: 3.5k

Author's Note: Thank you to everyone that voted on what my next post should be, that was very fun and cute and I'll definitely have to do voting more often! Anyway, Sanji was the top comment and these alphabets were the top vote, so please enjoy and keep an eye out for the other options coming soon 💕

A = Aftercare (what they're like after sex)

After the euphoric highs of being with you, Sanji needs a moment to come back to earth before he can say a single thing. He'll collapse beside you, clinging to your body and pulling you close as his eyes fix to the ceiling, needing to look away from you for a breath just so he can pull himself together and not get lost in your beauty all over again.

After a moment of still, in which he can feel his whole heart healing and a lifetime of fears washing away, he'll turn to you, and suddenly he'll be creating the most loving outpour you can imagine. He's prasing every inch of you, he's trying to verbalise the enormity of his appreciation for being this close to you, he's asking for notes so he can be a better lover for the next time if you should ever deign to honour him with your company again. He gets so out of breath in his endless praise and excitement that you might just have to kiss him to shut him up, but be careful you don't get him going all over again.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Sanji refuses to fight with his arms, so that his hands remain the remarkable tools that they are. Where once his favourite thing about them was their proficiency in the kitchen, now nothing brings him greater pride than using them to show you his adoration. He loves nothing more than interlacing his fingers through yours, whether you're out on the streets of some new island, or tangled up in sheets and crying out his name. He loves to see the effect even the lightest touches can have on you, and when he feels you twitch around his fingers when they're buried inside you, he knows he can die a happy man.

There's no part of you that Sanji doesn't think is the definition of perfection. You are by far the most beautiful being he's met in his life, and any time he lays a hand on you he feels like he has received a blessing from the heavens. That being said he does find his heart hammering especially hard in his chest whenever you have your legs exposed around the ship, and when you sit on the kitchen counter to keep him company you'll notice how quickly he gets distracted when he knows he could have his fingertips grazing over your thighs as he steps between them to capture your lips. Don't be surprised if he places a firm hand over your leg whenever you sit together, even though the anticipation of that simple touch is almost enough to knock the chef unconscious.

C= Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Hopeless romantic Sanji would definitely worry about getting his cum on you, feeling like you are so far above him in every way that it would be wrong for someone as lowly as him to leave himself on or in you. It would be obvious how shy he felt about it about the first time you let him get that far, but with a little gentle encouragement he'd quickly lose hold of himself and end up spilling across your chest before he can think twice. Run your finger through his release and bring it to your lips and the connoisseur of all things delicious will almost spontaneously combust, not sure he's ever felt better about being your chef.

D = Dirty Secret (pretty self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Sometimes when your clothes are still drying from laundry day, or they just aren't fitting right, you'll borrow one of Sanji's shirts to wander around the ship in. Unfortunately Sanji cannot control the effect that the sight of you in his clothes has on him, and immediately he'll be straining against his trousers, losing focus and begging you to consider putting something else on 'because you must be cold.' At first you're worried that he doesn't want you in his clothes, until he hurries you back into the cabin you share, awkwardly shuffling behind you until he can finally undo his belt, worried he might faint for the sheer rush of blood leaving his brain. Suddenly he's in adoration mode begging you to let him wear the shirt that has blessed your skin and promising to decorate you in a thousand kisses instead. If you sleep in one of his shirts, I guarantee he'll wear it all the next day just so your smell lingers in his senses all day long.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they're doing?)

Sanji has been a lover for as long as he can remember, but you might be the first person he has ever actually pursued a relationship with, physical or otherwise. He would have a lot of enthusiasm and a keenness to learn exactly how to make you feel as special as you make him feel every day, but he wouldn't have the chance to put anything into practice before you came along. On the plus side the chef already knows how to handle things delicately, and how to devour a meal, so he's already most of the way there.

F = Favourite Position (this goes without saying)

Sanji needs to see your face to get the most of your time together, the intensity of connecting with you this way being such an important part of sex for him. A classic for a reason, he'd love being in missionary with you, able to see your every reaction to his touch and grab your thighs to keep you close, leaning back on his knees or pulling your legs onto his shoulders to feel even more of you. Get on top of him, riding him Cowgirl style, and this man will completely short-circuit, not even able to string together a compliment as he fights to remain conscious, not wanting to miss a second of the incredible view of you bouncing on top of him, but worried he might pass away if he gets any more lightheaded.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Sanji is definitely more of the intense romantic type. He might be a shameless flirt, but he doesn't take the act of having sex with someone lightly. He might let out the occasional euphoric giggle, and he'll plaster on a beaming smile if you laugh at one of his long winded compliments, but overall he's there for serious business, rather than goofing around.

H = Hair (how well-groomed are they?)

Sanji likes to keep his appearance neat and tidy as a chef so he'd be very on top of any grooming and hygiene.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Sanji is 100% head over heels in love with you, so you know he's going to be relishing every second of intimate connection you spent together. He takes the romantic side of sex very seriously; he wants every occasion that you're together to be as special as you make him feel, and wants you to be entirely focused on him for the duration. He'll adore taking the time to set the mood with a homemade dinner, candles, and ensuring a rare moment of calm in your complex lives.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

It's no secret Sanji is a bit of a lover boy, so it's no surprise that before you were his partner, he'd pass most of his nights enjoying his own company and thinking of you. The way you looked that day, the times you'd spoken to him, the noise you made when you took the first bite of a dessert he'd whipped up just for you - it's all a bit much for his romantic heart to bare, his teeth biting his tongue as he worked his length over for fear of crying out your name in earshot of the crew. Once the two of you are an item though, he prefers to avoid his solo time, and instead save every ounce of his stamina and lust for the times he finally gets you all to himself. Nothing his imagination has ever conjured is anywhere near as sweet as the reality of being in bed with you.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Let's start with the most obvious one - definitely a food play kind of guy. He's whipping cream and melting chocolate and begging to decorate your body like the sumptuous dessert that you are, just so he can taste every inch of you over and over again.

There's also definitely a praise kink at play with Sanji, who will fall all over himself to impress you when you're telling him he's doing a good job, that he feels incredible, that he looks so sexy buried between your thighs. He'll definitely shower you with praise as well, every notable feature he describes only adding to his seemingly endless adoration for you.

This man would let you do absolutely anything to him anyway, but offer to blindfold him with his own tie and have your way with him, and he will practically spontaneously combust. And if you prefer the be one tied down, Sanji will drop to his knees and thank whatever deity gifted him with such a perfect partner. I promise he will realllly take his time with you, devouring you for hours and exploring every curve of your body like the work of art you are, until you have to beg him to let you rest.

L = Location (favourite places to do it)

Obviously the idyllic romance of your shared cabin upon the ship, curled up in bed together, is how Sanji enjoys your romantic encounters the most. But that doesn't mean sometimes he doesn't get carried away with you perched on the kitchen counter, the briefest kiss descending into unbridled passion with his hands frantically clawing your thighs apart so he can finally be inside of you.

When you're not out at sea, Sanji loves to find romantic spots to lead you to - a secluded island hot spring, a warm isolated beach, a beautiful wildflower meadow. He'll bring a picnic and blanket, but rest assured, you're the only thing he's interested in eating.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

It's nearly impossible to find something you do that doesn't get Sanji going. Seeing you be good at your role on the crew, seeing you defend yourself or think quickly against an enemy, seeing you just going about the ship minding your own business. Obviously any time you smile at Sanji, or ask him the slightest question, this boy is ready to tear off his well-fitting shirt and offer himself to you for whatever would bring you joy. And when you sit on his lap, or keep him company in the kitchen, or eat something he's prepared and let out a satisfied hum - well that's when he becomes desperate to climb on top of you, manhood aching to make you feel as incredible as he feels around you.

N = No (something they wouldn't do, turn offs)

Sanji is a very jealous partner, thanks to an undercurrent of insecurity and rejection that has plagued his life, so anything to do with sharing you is off the cards.

He also couldn't think of anything worse than doing something that would hurt you, handling you like a priceless artifact in the best way, and rarely using his full strength in bed if he can keep control.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

I think we all know Sanji would live and die for the chance to taste you. To feel you twitch against his tongue. To see your head tip back as the throes of ecstasy overtake you while he's working between your thighs. It's his heaven, his earth, and his everything in between. From the first time he gets to taste you, it's all he wants to do, often forgetting his own throbbing pleasure in favour of seeing if he can make you cum just one more time, living for the way you whimper out his name as he brings you to the edge again. You are the finest taste this world has to offer, and he will never take for granted that only his tongue gets to explore it.

A gentleman to his core, Sanji would be almost dismissive of your desire to go down on him. You'd have to catch him too far gone in his passionate euphoria to have any thoughts at all, but when your tongue first makes contact with his sensitive tip it's like his whole body melts into the world's happiest puddle. He'd make the absolute most pathetic noises, fighting to keep his eyes on you as they roll back into his skull with bliss. And seeing his release dripping from your lips as you lick them, that might just be enough to kill the poor chef, who is somehow already in heaven.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Sanji definitely prefers to savour every second with you, taking things slowly and gently, building the sensation by worshipping your body before gradually getting to the main event. Just like in the kitchen, he doesn't like to be rushed, and he knows you achieve the best results with a delicate touch.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Sanji's not the type to try and squeeze in a quickie, given he wants to make the most out of every opportunity to explore your body. That being said, if you can't keep your hands off him and are the one to make a move, he'll happily give you everything you want, exactly how you want it.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

You are by far the most precious and important part of Sanji's life, so it's safe to say he's not going to be keen to do anything risky with you. He knows the fear of losing you in battle, he constantly frets that you'll find a reason to leave him, realising how far above him you are, and so his mission in life is your joy and safety. He'll experiment in the bedroom with new positions and any kinks you might want to explore, but honestly as long as you're happy, Sanji is the most content individual on all the seas.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

We've seen Sanji in battle and know he's a master of strength and endurance, but given how quickly he crumbles to his knees at the mere brush of your hand, I'm not sure that would apply in the bedroom. The gorgeous blonde would be fighting for his life from the moment he slipped into your warm, soft, wet core. Over time he'd get a little better at containing himself, but thankfully even when he's done for, it barely takes him a minute to recover and be ready for another round, and usually by then he'll have spent the better part of the day going down on you before he ends up inside you, so you really don't need to worry about your satisfaction.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

If toys exist in the one piece universe, then you can bet Sanji not only has them, but would take an endless amount of pleasure in using them on you. Maybe with your hands bound above your head with his tie, or just as a little extra stimulation to make sure you're having the best possible experience with him. And if there's a little shop selling toys on an island where you stop, Sanji will practically faint walking around it with you and looking for something new.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Sanji is so much fun to tease, because he has absolutely no poker face about how desperate he is for you. No amount of pride will stop him from begging you to finally use him if you've been working him up all day, and if you decide to grind your hips over his lap at a leisurely pace, Sanji will be in tears begging for you to bless him with the sweet gift of release.

On the other hand, Sanji doesn't consider himself a tease, thinking he was put on this earth just to tend to your every whim. However, when he starts showering you with kisses and praise as he insists on focusing on your pleasure, he is inadvertently the best tease. He knows exactly how to make your pleasure as perfect as possible, so if you ask him to speed up or to finally fuck you, he's going to insist that you trust him because knows how to give you the release you deserve, and he won't comprimise on your pleasure. Unfortunately he's always right, so you're never going to get him to stop.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Sanji isn't going to be letting out loud echoing moans, his lips are too busy running a mile a minute with compliments for every inch of your body, inside and out. Sometimes he trips over his words or they come out in a desperate whimper when you just feel too good for him to keep in control of himself. And when you tease him, or even just give him a subtle smile to let him know what you want to do when you get him alone, well then the poor guy turns into a whining mess, practically frozen with his brain malfunctioning, unable to make any sound except the tiniest 'please'.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for this character)

Sanji is 100% a crier in the bedroom. He gets so swept up in the romance of it all, the depth of his feelings for you, the kindness and love that you show him, how he's never felt anything so lovely (physically or emotionally) and it would all just be too much. From the moment he's slowly plunging inside you, to him lying awestruck beside you in the afterglow, there's tears welling up in his eyes and falling across his cheeks in beautiful lines. It might be a little confusing the first time, but as you look into his expression of sheer devotion, running your thumb across his cheek as he croaks out how much he loves you for the thousandth time today, you'll come to appreciate his emotional exterior and openness with you.

X = X-ray (let's see what's going on under those clothes)

Sanji has a more slight build despite being very muscular, so he's probably more on the average size, and his practiced chef's hands really add to the sensation.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

If you looked up Yearning in the dictionary, you'd find a picture of Sanji. From the day your paths crossed, he'd think of little else but your lips, your body, your voice. Everything you do is the height of beauty, and he can't help but be very affected by your every move. Every smile you throw his way tugs on his heartstrings and send warmth fluttering all the way down his torso.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterward)

Sanji would definitely be awake for a while afterwards, recounting your every perfect expression and noise, fishing for praise on his performance, and generally pouring his mended heart out to you. The afterglow of it all is just as beautiful and meaningful to Sanji as any other part of your intimacy, and he'd cherish getting to run his fingers through your hair and hold you close as you gradually drifted off. You might occasionally feel a teardrop land on your cheek as Sanji wishes he could somehow capture these perfect moments in time and keep them with him everywhere he goes, sweet echoes of his voice whispering 'thank you' and 'i love you' inevitably finding their way into your dreams, as he lives out his.
