Sanji's POV
Zoro didn't come to bed. He is definitely angry. I really messed up, didn't I?

I didn't get any nightmares that night, one of those rare times, possibly due to my mind already being occupied

How am I going to fix this?

'The truth'

'Shut up'

I sighed. I went through the routine of putting on concealer then left the room. Without Zoro in there it just felt lonely despite all the furniture

I slowly made my way up to the top deck. I looked around. It was empty

"I guess it's still pretty early"

I went to the kitchen to begin breakfast. The crew will be waking up soon

Cooking seemed to have relaxed me a little, emphasis on little. The voice that kept telling me to tell the truth wasn't helping either

"Done"

I looked at the meal. It was passable. I heard the door open. I turned and saw moss hair. Zoro

Our eyes made contact for a while before he averted his gaze. He made his way to the table and sat down. He closed his eyes, crossed his arms and relaxed in the seat, not acknowledging my presence. I was kinda hurt but I do kinda deserve it

The silence was terrible. The atmosphere was tense and Zoro didn't seem affected by it. I want to break the silence and clear the air but how

'Damn this is horrible. I need to say something'

"I-"

"Yay breakfast"

Of all the times, why now. I feel like strangling that rubber idiot. I sighed

'I'll talk to him later'

The crew followed after Luffy one by one

I took a seat next to Zoro but he just ignored me. Either by eating or talking to one of the others. When I try to start a conversation he talks to someone else, when I talk to him he replies with short answers or a measly nod or shake. Breakfast was not going great and the crew could probably feel the tension

"Uhm" I turned my attention towards Nami "Well everyone, we are approaching an island soon so be prepared. The island is...."

I didn't even listen to what Nami was saying. I was in my own world

'An island this is great. I can talk with Zoro. If we're both staying on the boat'

'Yes but by judging how this is going, I'm sure he would go on the island if you're on the boat'

'True. Argh why is he making this difficult'

'Why are you lying to him'

'Don't sass me'

'I'm just saying none of this would have happened if you had just-'

'Yeah yeah I get it. Maybe I should tell him'

'You think'

'Okay I'm done with you'

"Um Sanji?"

I snapped out of my thoughts and noticed the whole crew staring at me with worry and confusion, even Zoro

"Oh sorry I spaced out"

They all nodded and went back to eating. I felt a gaze lingering on me I then noticed Zoro's stare before he turned away. That brought a small smile on my face
