Sanji woke up before everyone else to start working on breakfast as usual, but today there was more of a spring in his step. He didn't make it obvious of course, but if you were to look very closely, you could see that he seemed happier than usual that day. Everyone gathered into the kitchen and Sanji prepared their plates, still making the ladies plates nicer than the guys' plates, but no one said anything, yet. Today, instead of making himself breakfast and eating before preparing everyone else's food, Sanji slept in, so he made himself a plate and looked for a place to sit, preferably by Nami or Robin. The only place to sit was between Luffy and Zoro, the kitchen had enough seats for everyone, but Sanji did not sit down with them often, so everyone had a different seat everyday. He had no problem sitting next to Luffy, Sanji learned to protect his food from him, it was Zoro he could not sit next to. He did want to sit next to Zoro, but if Sanji sat next to Zoro, Sanji would want to hold his hand, put his head on his shoulder, or something like that.

Sanji did not want to stand up anymore, so he went and sat between Luffy and Zoro. As he sat between them, Sanji wanted nothing more than to at least look at Zoro without it being weird. Sanji's happy mood deflated a little, and Zoro heard a little sigh from him. Under the table, Zoro wrapped his ankle around Sanji's in hope that Sanji could tell that Zoro cared and wanted to know what was wrong. Sanji looked at him, and they shared only a brief moment of eye contact, but they each knew what the other was saying. "We'll talk about it later." Everyone started talking to each other, and breakfast began. If Sanji and Zoro were not focusing on each other, they would have noticed that Robin was looking at them strangely. She had seen the brief eye contact, and she used her devil fruit powers to see what they were doing under the table before.

"Sanji, your rose looks like it's dying." Nami pointed out to him. Sanji looked down, and his happy mood deflated even more, this time it showed on his face.

"It seems so." Was all Sanji said, looking at the rose, but his eyes seemed like they were focusing on more than the rose. All of a sudden Sanji seemed to remember where he was, and looked back up to see Nami, Robin, and Zoro looking at him. Thankfully Luffy had everyone else in a conversation, so they were not paying attention to anything but themselves.

"Even if this flower dies, I still have you two women, the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen~" Sanji went rambling to the two women, but Robin didn't buy it, and Nami almost got her food stolen by Luffy, which started a screaming match between the two.

After everyone finished their breakfast, with no fights whatsoever, and everyone went to do whatever, Zoro and Sanji met up in a room that no one ever used. Sanji was in the room smoking when Zoro walked in. Immediately, Sanji walked over to him, and just layed his head on his chest, and Zoro wrapped his arms around Sanji tightly. Sanji was undeniably upset and Zoro just was worried about Sanji, so neither of them noticed the pair of eyes watching them, despite them always being aware of their surroundings. They were too busy being surrounded by each other's presence than what was surrounding them. Robin left the new couple by themselves, but not before seeing Zoro plant a kiss on the top of Sanji's head. Robin then got up, smiled to herself, and got to work on a new project, and all she needed was a pencil and paper.

"So, what's wrong Sanji?" Zoro decided that he was going to call Sanji by his name, only when they were by themselve"This is harder than I thought, Zoro." Came Sanji's voice, muffled into Zoro's chest. Sanji decided that he would call Zoro by his name too. Zoro walked them to a two seater chair, there were a bunch of extra chairs in case one breaks anywhere on the ship, and they sat down. Zoro sat with one leg on the chair and one on the floor, and Sanji was on his back in Zoro's chest with both legs on the couch.

"Talk to me. You looked good when we all walked in. What happened?" Sanji lit himself another cigarette, and started to talk.

"I was in a good mood when everyone came in, but I didn't make myself breakfast earlier, so I decided to eat with the rest of you guys. I had to sit between you and Luffy. When I sat next to you, I just wanted to be all romantic like with you, but I couldn't, and that just made me feel wrong. Then Nami said something about my rose that you gave me dying, and that made me feel worse. It was just a bad breakfast today." Zoro wrapped his arms around Sanji while Sanji turned onto his stomach so that he was laying on Zoro face to face. Sanji must have been really upset because he just called Nami, Nami, with nothing before or after it. To try and defuse the sad atmosphere, Sanji blew a lot of smoke into Zoro's face, causing him to cough and Sanji to laugh.

"Are you trying to kill me?" Zoro asked still coughing a little.

"No. Just trying to get you used to the smoke." Sanji said teasingly, smiling.

"Try a better way. One that doesn't involve almost killing me."

"Okay, Zoro." Zoro looks confused, and Sanji puts out his cigarette. Then, Sanji leans down and kisses Zoro lightly at first, and after he's sure that Zoro's not gonna push his off, he presses his lips on Zoro's harder. After a little while, they pull apart, and they both register the fact that they just had their first kiss as a couple.

"I could get used to you smoking if I kiss you more often." Zoro says, but before they try to start kissing again, he makes them both sit up.

"Are you gonna be okay, because if you're gonna be upset like you were today, everyday, we can tell everyone." Zoro asks.

"I'm fine, it was just that I saw you so soon after we said that we were in a relationship. As long as we have these moments together, I'll be fine." Sanji says reassuringly. Zoro nods in agreement. It's almost time for Sanji to make lunch, so they kiss one last time before they go. Sanji goes to make lunch preparations and Zoro goes to workout.

After lunch and dinner everyone gets ready to go to bed. Robin had been missing and someone had to take her food to her, Sanji volunteered but, Nami ended up taking it to her. After everyone is settled, Robin stops Sanji, who is thinking about what he is going to make for breakfast in the kitchen.

"Hello Robin-chwan. Do you need anything?" Sanji asks, but Robin just shakes her head.

"No, but can you take this paper to the swordsman. It is for you and him." Sanji's eyes take their heart eyes position.

"Anything for you my sweet~ I'm honored to do this for you." Robin leaves, and Sanji goes to give the paper to Zoro. Zoro isn't asleep yet, so he sees Sanji, gets up, and walks over to him.

"This paper is for us. It's from Robin." Sanji hands him the paper, and Zoro unfolds it and they both read it.

I have something I'd like to say

And I wanted to say it in an interesting way

It's time for me to cut to the chase

I cannot say it face to face

I know about your relationship

And I have to say it is quite a flip

From how you two usually act

From how you two used to interact

I promise I won't tell anyone

It's nice to see you two show affection

When you guys are alone your eyes soften

Just so you know this is Nico Robin
