The next day, in the afternoon, you're watching your favorite Christmas movie when your phone rings with a call from Sanji. You pick up the phone. "Hey Sanji, what's up?"

"Hello, my dear Y/N; I was wondering if you'd like to join me in preparing for tomorrow's party."

Oh, that's right... you think, excitement coming over you. "Sure! Should I head over now?"

"No need to trouble yourself – I'm already on the way! I'll see you in about 10 minutes." And with that, he hangs up. You smile slightly, amused by his speed, and get up to get ready.

Later, you're in Sanji's kitchen, dicing vegetables while Sanji marinates a turkey. He hums softly, and the two of you work, for the most part, in content silence. Sanji has a variety of foods planned for the menu, so you divide and conquer. I'll be cooking all day tomorrow, Sanji had told you. However, some of these things can and should be done tonight. Sanji comes over to check on you and watches as you peel the outer layer off an onion.

"Now, remember not to cut the-" You slice off both the top and bottom of the onion.

"-not to cut the root," Sanji finishes, albeit dejectedly.

You blink, looking at the root which you have already cut. "...Oh."

"Not to worry, my dear Y/N, I'll just take over from here." Sanji smoothly takes the knife, dicing up the onion with ease. You stand aside, feeling a little bit guilty. "I'm sorry."

Sanji stops cutting immediately and looks at you tenderly. "It's not a big deal. It's just that if you cut off the root, it makes you cry."

You try to blink away the tears forming in your eyes. "Oh?" You laugh. "I guess I'm crying now, then."

He chuckles. "I told you. You can work on the seasoning for now, then. And make sure not to inhale any of it directly-"

"Yes, I know, it'll make me sneeze," you finish, just as you open a container of ginger right before your face. Immediately, you start to sneeze and put the container down on the counter. Sanji roars with laughter, doubling over. "Yet again, I told you! You ought to listen to me more!"

You laugh through the sneezing, the combination causing you to start coughing. "I... do listen!"

Sanji snickers. "Yeah, say that again when you're not sneezing your brains out."

After spending a very busy afternoon full of mishaps and preparations, Sanji drives you home. "Thanks again for helping. I certainly needed it."

"No problem," you reply. Your house comes by, and Sanji stops the car, unlocking the doors. Before you can get out, though, Sanji gives you a quick kiss on the cheek. His face is flushed as he says, "Goodnight, Y/N."
