    Summary

    At thirty years old, Sanji likes to think he’s doing fine — if you ignore the divorce, the empty apartment, and the fact that his work is the only thing keeping him from falling headfirst into an early midlife crisis.

    So when he walks into his old gym on autopilot after a long trip and finds it replaced by a tattoo studio, he does the only rational thing:

    …committing to a massive piece that’ll cost him a fortune and trap him in close quarters with the unfairly attractive yet impossibly rude artist behind the counter.

    It’s not like it's the worst idea he’s ever had, okay?

    (Though maybe he should’ve gone with the word impulsive tattooed across his arm to stop him from repeating mistakes like this.)

    But when the dreaded session turns into a day of laughter, teasing, and warmth he hasn’t felt in years, he can’t wait to come back.

    A story about the value of found family, learning to love again, and trying to charm your way through life with extravagant food.
