Be Mine

To Wedding Island

Sanji looks out to the sunset ignoring the sound of screaming in one ear and the laughter in the other. The girls and Zoro left in the afternoon and still haven't returned, normally he would be worried but there are no marines on this island and no other pirates so he knows nothing bad could have happened. He is curious as to why Zoro and the girls are taking longer to get a suit than it did with him. He look to his right arm holding Touma as he makes a tantrum then looks to his left behind him to see the boys playing with Sora and Kuina laughing their heads off at Usopp and Luffy.

"Maaa!!" Touma shouts, taking a break from screaming. Sanji turns to him.

"I know, Ma will be here soon so just wait a little longer." Sanji says trying to calm him down seeing him whimper with tears in his eyes. Sanji has no idea why Touma is the only one acting up. All three were fine until a moment ago, they were all playing with Luffy and Usopp until Touma started crawling to the railing trying to climb over it, Sanji obviously stopped him but it was weird because he's never acted like this with Sanji before, even when Zoro wasn't with him and from the talk with the crew he's never like this, there are times where Sanji and Zoro were to long with their dates and all three triplets got antsy that both parents were away for too long.

Touma starts his deafening scream and Sanji just sighs in defeat not knowing what to do. It's not like he can make Zoro do whatever he and the girls are doing faster and he doesn't think they even took a den den mushi with them. With both hands Sanji moves Touma holding him with both hands as he wiggles around screaming, waving his arms around and kicking at the same time. What could possibly be the problem? He's tried and checked everything, his diaper, if he's hungry or thirsty, gave him the teething rings just in case, he even checked if he's tired but nothing soothed him. Sanji continue to stare at Touma as he wiggle around in his hands then he hears someone climbing over the railing, he turns his head smiling with hope in his eye hoping it's Zoro but it's just Brook and Chopper coming aboard. "What's wrong?" Chopper asks trotting up to them.

"I think he's just throwing a tantrum. I've tried everything and nothing would calm him down so now I'm just waiting for Zoro to show up." Sanji informs Chopper who just nods. There's no use freaking out, if Touma or any of the triplets was injured or something Sanji or Zoro would call for him immediately and Sanji isn't hysterical and it would seem he's checked everything. At this point Touma is just being a baby and throwing a tantrum. Chopper then remembers something.

"Here," Chopper says taking his backpack off and rummaging through it until he takes a thin book out and hands it over to Sanji, or tries to, Sanji just stares at the book in between his hooves. "It's a baby book I found in bookstore. I though it would be good for the triplets maybe you can read it to him to calm him down." Chopper explains. Sanji makes an 'o' shape with his mouth. Sanji moves Touma so he's on his hip and reaches down to take the book. He look through it to see it's an alphabet learning book, like A is for apple and so on.

"Thanks." Sanji says. He's goes back to the first page and starts to read but is interrupted by Touma squirming out of his hold trying to get on the floor. "Touma stop or you're going to fall!" Sanji shouts catching the attention of everyone on the deck. Shocked, everyone stares at Sanji even a shocked Touma who just stares up at his dad quietly before screaming again but he stop wiggling around. Everyone looks at each other then goes back to what they're doing not believing he just yelled. Zoro and Sanji never had to yell at one of the triplets, ever, the triplets, for being so young, always listen to Sanji to some extent and especially to Zoro. Sanji sighs in defeat once again as Touma cry loudly.

"You IDIOTS!!!" They all turn to see Nami and Robin coming aboard with small bags in their hands. "What did you do to the triplets..." Nami stops as she lays eyes on Sanji holding a screaming Touma in his hands.

"What's with all the screaming?" Nami and Robin turn to the bride following behind them as he climb aboard with more bags in his hands than the girls. They all stare at Zoro not saying a word for a moment. "Who was screaming?" He asks again. Then they all thought about what he asked. Was. They listen and notice it's quiet. They turn to Touma looking at Zoro smiling and giggling like he wasn't screaming bloody murder a moment ago. Sanji hears a plop sound coming from behind him and looks back. Wondering what it was he thinks then remembers the book Chopper gave him, when Touma started screaming again he flung it out of his hand and landed somewhere and must have fallen into the ocean. He leaned over the railing to see the book sinking.

"Ma!!" Touma shouts waving his arms out for Zoro to come and grab him. Sanji walks up to Zoro and hands him over.

"He's been calling you. Wouldn't stop screaming no matter what I did." Sanji explain quickly thinking about the book. Zoro takes him.

"I'm going to put everything away."

"Ah, wait," Nami says stopping Zoro from walking to his room with all the bags. "Sanji," she catches his attention, "where did you put your suit?"

"In my locker in the boys quarters." He says taking off his blazer and undoing his tie. Nami nods.

"OK, just making sure so you both don't see each others outfits. Go and put your things away." With that Zoro walks away from the crowd with Touma in his arms and the bags in another. He set the bags on the bed and went into the closet to get a couple of hangers. He then set down the hanger and Touma on the bed to put his blazer, dress shirt, vest and dress pants away so they don't wrinkle. Once everything is set he picks up Touma and takes all the hanger in one hand in the closet hand hangs them. He then goes out and picks some bag with boxes and goes into the closet to put them away. When he comes out Sanji comes in dripping wet.

"Whoa what happened to you?" Zoro looks at Sanji from head to toe.

"Chopper got the triplets a book and I was going to read it to him to calm him down but he flung it out my hand and it landed in the water so I went in to get it." Sanji walks in the room putting his dry blazer and tie on the foot of the bed while he unbuckles his belt and unbutton his shirt. "I need to change." Sanji says to himself.

"Ah wait I'll get you your clothes to change into, I guess I need to hide my suit so you won't see it when you come in to get clothes." Zoro says walking over Sanji. "Here hold him for a moment." Zoro says has he hands Touma to Sanji. He runs back into the closet picking out Sanji's clothes. Sanji looks down at Touma who has his eyes fixed on the closet door Zoro disappeared behind. Sanji sets Touma on the bed to get undressed. Now naked Sanji looks at the closet door to see Zoro walking out with clothes for him to change into. Sanji puts on the dry underwear as Zoro picks up Touma from the bed and goes for the door. Sanji sees him walking away and almost forgot to tell him something.

"Nami wants all of us in the kitchen so she can tell us something while I start cooking." Sanji tells Zoro who just looks back at him and nods. Then he leaves Sanji to finish changing. When he's done he walks up to the kitchen and starts to cook as Nami begins to talk now that everyone is there.

"We're leaving tomorrow in the morning or afternoon to the next island." With the news everyone starts to clap and cheer.

"So everything for the wedding is set?" Usopp asks.

"Yes, buying Sanji and Zoros' suit were the last thing that was needed for the wedding."

"So we're done planning?" Chopper asks.

"Yes. All the decoration were sent to the next island along with the plans. Everything should be ready by the time we get there." Everyone cheered and shouted along with the excited triplets who just joined in, not knowing what's going but wanted to join anyway. The wedding is coming close. Sanji looks up from the counter, from what he's doing for a second to look at Zoro who is talking to Chopper about something. He's looks back down. He's feeling excited but scared at the same time. He's not getting cold feet or anything, he's going to get married to Zoro and that's a fact, he just hopes that everything goes as planned. He knows that the crew is somehow blessed with good luck especially Luffy and Zoro but with this route with no marines on seem like it's wasting their luck. Or maybe Sanji is just overthinking it. For them nothing good happens without something bad happening first.

No he's just overthinking it, Zoro has already gone through enough physical and mental trauma, the same for Sanji with the one he loves being taken from him and seeing the one he loves cry and have terrible nightmares not being able to heal him completely. That should be enough to gain some good karma right?
