What's Not To Love

Chapter 7

Sanji walked calmly behind the girls as they all made their way to the room. He watched as Izzy marched angrily down the hall but, of course, she tried to make it look pretty. Behind her was both Robin and Nami. They were laughing at her anger. 'They could at least hide their amusement' Sanji thought as he continued to watch them.

Once at the end of the hall, Izzy unlocked the door and slammed the door open. It hit the wall with a loud bang causing Nami to laugh louder and Sanji to flinch. Robin just took to announcing her thoughts.

"Don't you think you should be a little less aggressive . People do live here and I don't believe you own the place." Robin said calmly as she took a seat on the bed. Nami sat down beside her not even a moment later.

"Well Daddy will pay for it." Izzy said as she sat down at her makeup table angrily. "I mean he really doesn't have to since he owns the island and all."

When Izzy saw slight curiosity in both Nami and Robin's face, she smiled and looked at Sanji from the corner of her eye. He had just taken up the wall next to the door. Izzy smiled widely for a moment before turning towards Sanji and saying innocently "Sanji-Kun, right ?"

Sanji felt an unpleasant shiver go down his spine when she purred his name the way she did. He looked up from the ground and found three sets of eyes on him. Clearing his throat Sanji answered.

"Yeah."

Izzy made a small noise of happiness before turning to fix her makeup. She felt happy for having something over the girls. Nami could sense her happiness and got slightly angry about it.

"For a homewrecker, you seem quite happy." Nami commented.

Sanji sucked in a breath and put his full attention on Nami. 'Homewrecker?' he thought.

Izzy spoke while Sanji thought. "Look. Sanji and I have been together for as long as I can remember." Sanji looked back at her with surprise. Izzy turned towards Nami and Robin before continuing. "If anyone is the 'homewrecker' it's you for having a baby with my boyfriend."

Robin and Nami studies Izzy closely before looking at Sanji. Just as Robin went to ask him about it, Sanji began to talk.

"Im sorry, but I'm just a bit lost." Sanji said, gaining a smiling Izzy's attention. "We haven't gone out or spoken since the day I was promoted to head chef. Yesterday was the first time we've met in years."

The smile on Izzy's face suddenly turned to a scowl. "Yeah and I told you that I won't be dumped."

"That's not your decision."

"Actually it is. Besides your father thinks We'd be perfect for each other." Izzy ended sweetly.

Sanji flinched slightly at the mention of his father and it did not go unnoticed by the occupants in the room. "Look. I told you that we would only spend the night together."

"Well, I would have left but then I found out you had kids!" Izzy said standing up from her chair, suddenly filled with anger. "Why would you have a baby with one of these idiots instead of me? Am I not good enough?"

"Kids?" Sanji asked startled. How had she found out about the babies? He made sure not to mention it.

"UGHHH... I saw them with some green haired guy. Why do you think I just suddenly kissed you out of nowhere? It wasn't even romantic. " Izzy said, whispering the last part.

After that, Sanji went quiet. To him, everything around him had lost sound as he tried to comprehend what she said. He saw that she was still speaking and saw Nami get up and yell at Izzy accusingly while Robin sat, observing. Unfortunately, He paid them little attention. He was busy connecting the dots. Izzy had saw Zoro. Nami and Robin were with Zoro. The babies were with Zoro. Nami and Robin approached him without Zoro. They came without Zoro.

Sanji held the wall for a moment, repeating it again and again in his head. 'He wasn't with them. He definitely was no where to be seen when they came. They came without him but he was with them earlier. Izzy kissed him. The girls saw. Which means....Which means that...That...Zoro....'

Sanji sucked in a breathe. He suddenly felt lightheaded. He didn't notice the girls in the room at all. He didn't notice that they stopped arguing to watch Sanji. They watched as he whispered to himself and used the wall to pull him closer to the bed. They watched as he got to the bed and fell in dismay on it. He was sitting on the bed with his head in his hands, shaking.

"Sanji?"

"Sanji-Kun?"

"Cook-san?"

Sanji heard the voices from a distance but he was too distracted. Zoro had seen him. He saw Izzy kiss him. He saw him kiss Izzy back. And he knew that their relationship was already on thin ice. Very Very thin ice.

Sanji heard the voices again and turned to see three worried females. He opened his mouth to speak but felt something drop in his hands. When he looked down, he realized that it was water. More and More drops came before he noticed that he was actually crying. By now, the girls were around him, asking him if he was okay.

"I Fucked Up."

The girls went quiet and waited for him to continue.

"I fucked up so bad." Sanji whined before covering his face with his hands, "He'll never forgive me. He'll end it all. The progress." Sanji looked up to a sad Robin and Nami. He noticed Izzy's face was one of shock. "Why? Why would you do that if you thought they were my kids?"

Izzy opened her mouth to reply but nothing came out. He continued. "Why would you do something like that? "

Izzy opened and closed her mouth a few times before standing straight with her hands on her hips. "This...it's not my fault. Besides, you came to me so it's your fault they saw."

Sanji started at her for a moment. He tried to remain calm even though she was partially right. "The green haired guy was their father. Well ..mother. " Sanji said as he wiped his tears. "And your right. I am the father of those kids. I should've known better than to meet you." Looking at Izzy's face again, Sanji laughed humorlessly. "OH Izzy, how does it feel to have dated a gay man. OR I guess it's more accurate to say a straight man with a gay man."
