A/N: hey there and thanks so much for all the support here! i meant to upload this like 9 hours ago, so i am very sorry - I hope whoever is interested can end up reading the stuff today! happy valentines day to all it may concern! i wanted to write some things today especially considering Sanji because it's his holiday lol. likely there'll be quite a few more things posted before the end of today for me (about 4 hours) so I hope you enjoy!

Your phone rings, and you pick it up to see Sanji is calling. You glance at the time – about 6 pm. What's he calling for so late? You pick up the phone. "Hello?"

"Y/N?"

His voice is quiet, and you're immediately worried. "Is everything okay?"

He's silent, and you can hear the slight shuffle of clothing. "I know it's late, but do you mind stopping by? I'm sorry to ask this if you, chère , and you don't have to-"

"Okay, I'm on my way." You hang up the phone without another word, and, grabbing your keys, you get in the car. It does happen to be Valentine's Day, and you're almost certain whatever has happened must do with it. Sanji romanticizes everything, and to think he's so down on probably his favorite holiday of the year is worrying. You arrive at his house and knock on the door. It swings open to reveal a tired-looking Sanji, and he steps aside to let you in. "Thank you for coming," he murmurs, and you follow him to the kitchen, where he's always making something. You perch on a chair at the island. "No need to thank me. What's up?"

He sighs. "I went on another date tonight, like I told you."

You nod. "And how did that go?"

"She was terrible, not talking to me at all, and when I said something, she got angry and made a scene. After dumping her drink on me, she stormed out."

You're shocked by his words, unsure what to say at all.

"What did I do to deserve that? And on a day like today, of all days," he mutters.

"Sanji, none of what happened defines you as a person. You've got so many qualities that it's a wonder women aren't all over you. And to be honest, I haven't said anything, but it hurts me to see you go looking for love, again and again... when it's right before you in plain sight."

He looks up, his eyes hopeful. "What do you mean...?"

You sigh, a slight smile on your face. Despite being perhaps the most romantic man in the world, he still can't recognize love right before him. "I mean that I love you, Sanji, because you are you, and that won't change."

He shakes his head in disbelief, smiling ruefully. "Y/N, ma chérie, you're just saying that. I appreciate it, though."

You reach across the counter, grabbing his hand. "I mean it. And you need to cheer up because I know you love Valentine's Day, and it's almost over. Don't waste it."

He looks at you for a moment, seemingly stunned, but then he laughs, tipping his head back as he walks to the oven. "I suppose it's a good thing I made cookies, then." A bowl of frosting is on the counter, and the widest grin spreads on your face as you walk around the counter, standing right in front of Sanji. "And I love you even more for that." You kiss him briefly on the lips.

"Ton amour est comme les bijoux, " he murmurs before putting a hand on your cheek and pulling you in for another kiss. As he breaks the kiss, he smiles. "Happy Valentine's Day, I guess."
