Sanji was cooking on the stove, when Luffy walked in. He still had the clothes on that he was sleeping in. Just a baggy red shirt and some black shorts. He walked up to Sanji, while rubbing his eyes.

"Good morning Luffy." Sanji said.
Luffy yawned.

"Good morning Sanji!" Luffy said back.
Luffy noticed the red circles around Sanji's eyes.
"What's with the red circles?" He asked.

"Just had a rough night, that's all." Sanji said, flipping over an egg with a spatula.

"What happened? It looks like you were crying..?" 

"Nothing too bad. Just some bad memories, don't worry about it." Sanji said with a smile.
Luffy frowned.

"Well now I'm gonna worry about it. You were crying last night and I didn't help you!" He said. Luffy's the type of person that makes sure everyone is doing okay, and stresses when someone's not.

"It's okay Luffy, Z..Moss head helped me." Sanji replied.

"Oh, well as long as someone was helping you! What are you making?" Luffy asked as his frown turned into a smile.

"Oh just some eggs and bacon, oh and pancakes." Sanji said.
Luffy grinned.

"Oh I love it when you make pancakes!" He said.
Sanji smiled. Luffy walked away, as Sanji continued cooking.

Zoro walked in, and walked over to Sanji.
His hair was wet cause he had just taken a quick shower.
"Are you feeling okay?" He asked.

"Been better, my head is throbbing right now. I feel like someone's hitting me with a bat." Sanji said, moving all the eggs onto a large plate.

"Once breakfast is over, I'll try and help. I'll give you a massage in a quiet room or something." Zoro said.

"I would appreciate that, also your coffee is on the counter by the knives." Sanji replied.
Zoro ruffled Sanji's hair, as a thank you. Sanji didn't mind it in fact he likes it when Zoro messes with his hair. Only when Zoro does it though.

Fast forward to after breakfast

Sanji was taking care of the dishes when Robin came out of no where and started helping. Her extra hands were very useful.
Sanji didn't talk, he knew she was there but was concentrating on the dishes.

Robin had seen the red circles around Sanji's eyes, and Also noticed how he kept trying to keep his eyes open and keeping his head up. So she figured she would help. She didn't expect him to talk, she didn't talk either.
Sanji appreciated it, she knew a lot about mental health.
When Sanji finished he turned off the sink and dried his hands.

"Thank you Robin, I appreciate it." He said, sort of quietly.

"Anytime." She said with a smile.
Sanji walked out, and headed to the library. He had a couple recipe books he needed to look at to make plans for dinner.
He ran into Zoro on the way.

"There you are, I was looking for you. Where are you headed?" Zoro asked.

"Just to the library. It's nothing important." Sanji replied.

"You said your head still hurt, I feel like reading books wouldn't help with the amount of concentrating." Zoro said.

"Good point, I'll just do it when my head doesn't hurt as much." He said. Zoro grabbed Sanji's hand, gently.

"We can go somewhere quiet if you'd like, I know being out here doesn't help." Zoro said, Sanji smiled.
Zoro took that as a yes.
"Where would we go thats quiet?" Sanji asked.

"Just the guest room, or maybe the aquarium but the guest room has a bed." Zoro said.

"Let's just go to the guest room then." Sanji said.
Zoro and Sanji made their way to the guest room.
They walked in as Zoro shut the door behind him. He turned on a lamp, making the room dim.
Sanji sat down on the bed, and then fell backwards and put his hands on his face. Zoro looked at him.

"You okay?" He asked, sitting down on the bed while looking down at Sanji.
Sanji put his hands down.

"Dizzy." He said.

"Ohh, come over here for a moment." Zoro said, pointing at the back of the bed where the pillows were.
Sanji moved over by the pillows, and sat up facing Zoro.
Zoro put his hand on Sanji's head, fixing his hair. Then he leaned in and kissed Sanji, gently. Sanji didn't expect that, but he went along with it. And closed his eyes.
Zoro put his hand on top of Sanji's hand, and intertwined his fingers with his and continued to kiss him.
It was very calming for Sanji. It lowered his blood pressure, and he wasn't as anxious as he was before. It definitely soothed the headache a little bit. Sanji put his arm around Zoro's shoulder, reaching his hand onto the back of his head. Zoro's hair was like the texture of a soft blanket, but with spikes. The spikes of his hair were soft? Zoro's hair is confusing. But Sanji liked it.
Zoro pulled away for air, He was about to speak then Sanji kissed him. Zoro didn't expect that, just as Sanji didn't expect the first one. But Sanji felt a large form of comfort in the way Zoro kissed him. He likes how gentle he is. How steady, and slow he is.
They pulled away at the same time, staring at each other for a moment. Suddenly Zoro broke the silence.
"Feel any better?" He asked.
Sanji nodded.

"You're hair is soft..but spiky at the same time." Sanji said, moving his fingers through Zoro's hair.

"I never pay much attention to my hair, good to know you like it though." He said.
Sanji leaned his head on Zoro's shoulder.

"Thank you. I seriously don't know what I would've done if you hadn't of helped me last night." Sanji said.

"It's really not that big of a deal, I felt bad for what I said. I had been thinking about it, trying to figure out what I should do as an apology. Then I saw you through the window, and all those thoughts were gone. I wanted to make sure you were okay." He replied, running his fingers through his hair.

"I never thought you would ever be this sweet to me." Sanji said.

Zoro smiled.
"Me neither. I thought my stupid little crush on you was something I was gonna carry to my grave."
Sanji wrapped his arms around Zoro.
He tightened his grasp on his clothing, and started shaking.

"Sanji?"

"I'm sorry. I'm not used to this kind of affection, especially not from you. I can't even remember when I fell in love with you, I've been hiding it for way to long." Sanji said, quietly with a few voice cracks.

"Don't apologize, it's not your fault. I know now right? Yeah maybe it hurt because of how long we were hiding it from each other, but don't you remember all the hints we gave? I definitely caught onto yours." Zoro said.

Sanji didn't answer, he listened instead.

"remember that time when you helped me out of the water and was worried I was gonna catch a cold?"
Sanji nodded.
"And all the times we put our hands on each others shoulders whenever we're stressed?"
He nodded again.
"And how out of everyone, you and I are always partnered up to do the dishes at night?"
He didn't move this time.
"How close we get when we fight." Zoro said.
Sanji smiled.

"You really know how to make me happy, don't you?" Sanji said.

"Of course I do, I could list off more, but even if we've waited a long time to tell each other, we still had our moments, and now we can live in this one." Zoro said.

Sanji hid his face in Zoro's shoulder.
"God dammit I love you."
Zoro kissed the top of his head, and held him closely.
