When Sanji left the closet to go make breakfast Zoro walked to the box opening it looking at the things he had bought for the perverted cook. Then he closed the box and went to lay on the bed. Lying there he remembered coming out of the shops feeling happy and imagining how happy Sanji would be receiving them, but that was an illusion, Sanji wouldn't be happy he may have just made fun of him or something. He doesn't like men, he wouldn't take a gift from one.

While holding Sanji's hand on his stomach the babies were calming down, and stopped kicking. It was like the kids new who their father is, or they just knew how Zoro felt about him and calmed down. Either way it was an opportunity to take a nap. It was good while it lasted, when he woke up Sanji was gone, knowing where he would be he went to the kitchen. In the infirmary room, it was faster to just cut through the infirmary room, Zoro could hear them talking. Nami asked Luffy about what was in the box. Wasting no time he grabbed one of his katanas to stop Luffy from telling them.

Sanji kept asking about what was in the box. He so badly wanted to tell him, to give them to him, but Sanji would have thought it was all trash and thrown everything away cause he couldn't. While buying everything he put some serious thought into it. Would this suite Sanji? Does this seem like something he would ware? Would he use it? Zoro had never thought about anyone like this. He's never given anyone a gift so when it came to it he couldn't give it to the cook, afraid of what his reaction would be.

While sitting on the stairs he could see someone come close to him. It was Robin. He should have gotten rid of the box when he had the chance. "I think you may have overreacted about a box full of unimportant things." She may be right but the thought of the gifts he put his feeling into buying being treated like trash made him hesitant. If she knew what he was feeling she would understand.

"Fine, I'll tell you but only so you know why I can't tell him." He'll tell her everything. "The box is full of things I've bought for Sanji. But I didn't have the guts to give it to him so I put everything in a box hoping I could give it to him on his birthday or something but couldn't."

"Why?" Robin looked at him.

"One of the items is a lighter. After realizing my feelings for him I've been noticing things about him I didn't know before like during fights he always loses his matches so I bought him a lighter. I was in the store for hours trying to find one that would suit his taste and finally found the one. When I came out I was excited to give it to him but then I saw him from across the street with a girl who gave him a lighter that looked exactly like the one I just bought him, I had the shopkeeper engrave mine with an S.V on the bottom. I don't know if the one he got was engrave too but the face he made when he received it was a face he was not gonna show me. Then I saw Luffy." Zoro's voice started to crack. "I bought him some new shoes too. The ones he's been wareing have been fading and ripping so I found some nice ones I think he might like but he got his shoes polished by a beautiful lady. He complained to Nami that he wanted some new knifes for the kitchen but she told him to just get a sharpening stone since the budget couldn't afford it. I saved my allowance to buy him a new set that came with a nice sharpening stone but again he bought some from a woman. If I gave them to him would his reactions would be the same?" A tear ran down his face. He is crying. Robin noticed the pattern.

"Well why haven't you given it to him? You'll never know his reaction until it happens. Now that he's gotten to know you I don't think what you think he'll do is the same. Why don't you give them to him and while you're in your room change, you're still in your pajamas." Zoro looks down and sees his green and white striped pajamas still on.

"I forgot I was even still wearing this." He got up and headed for his room, he didn't even put on slippers, he is barefoot. Robin smiled at the sight. He told everything that happened on his date, even that Sanji came in the middle of it and brought him back, Robin got a hint that they had sex but he didn't go in detail about what happened after Sanji brought him back. It was all valuable information for her. They parted at the top of the stair leading for the deck. Zoro went to his room and Robin went in the kitchen were Sanji, Nami, and Luffy still were.

"Did he say anything?" Nami asked. Robin looked at the cook who looked back at her, Luffy just chews on the last sandwich. She sat in her seat.

"Yes, he told me quite a bit." She pauses, "Sorry Sanji but after hearing everything I don't think I could tell you. If you wait a bit then-" Sanji leaves the kitchen to go to Zoro who he saw walking to his room.

"What was in the box?" Nami asked. Robin smiled and took a sip from her coffee before telling Nami everything. "Ah, makes sense, so he has his past self to blame."

"It would also seem you're date plan didn't go exactly according to plan."

"What do you mean?" Nami asks, again Robin tells her everything.

Sanji stomps to Zoro's room. He said it wasn't important so why is he telling everyone except him? Everyone might have been an exaggeration but that's what it feels like. Once Zoro got into his room he went inside the closet and took the box out sitting on his bed. He looked at the closed box and began crying think about how Sanji would act when receiving it. Sanji then busts the door open looking right at Zoro sitting on the bed crying, he was frowning but then loosen up when he saw Zoro, who stared back surprised. He wiped his tears fast before he gets up with the box in his hands and shoves the box against Sanji who began holding it. Zoro then turns Sanji around and pushes him out the door.

"Wha?"

"There, you wanted to know what was in the box, well here's your chance." He closes the door behind Sanji. He goes back to his bed and lays on it hugging the pillow the cook slept on. Breathing in he realizes it smells like him. He tears up, he wanted to hand him everything himself but was to afraid of what Sanji would say and so he just shoves it to Sanji. The babies are calm, like when Sanji had his hand on his stomach, Zoro felt instantly tired and he drifted off to sleep.

Sanji, dumbfounded, strolled back to the kitchen with the box in his hand. He walks in and the girls look at him.

"Is that it?" Nami asks. Sanji sets it on the table.

"Yup, that's the box." Luffy confirmed.

"Well open it." Nami said standing up so she can see inside the box. Sanji slowly opens the box. The first thing that catches his eye is the lighter. He takes it out and looks at it confused. He then reaches in his pockets for the one given to him by the lady, doing a side to side comparison.

"Wow, you're right they are identical." Nami said. Sanji looks at them confused.

"Zoro has liked you and known his feelings for a very long while, so he noticed you always lose your matches when you fight so he bought this for you." He looked at the one Zoro had bought.

"He was in that shop for hours, I saw him enter and was able to explore and I came back to the store only to see him exit the store." Luffy commented. He put the one the woman gave to him back in his pocket and the one Zoro bought next to the box and continued to look in the box. At the same moment the rest of the crew walked in tired of waiting for their snack.

"Hey Luffy you said you were gonna check if Sanji made any snacks," Usopp stopped talking and gasped loudly stepping back against the wall and points at the box. "Where did you fine that? Put everything back. Zoro is gonna kill us for looking in his box." Everyone stared at him as he freaked out.

"Zoro gave me the box." Sanji said.

"Oh." Usopp calmed down and walked to the table peering inside, "what's inside?"

"What is all this?"

"Are you stupid?" Nami asked.

"When you love someone you start to paying attention to them more, right Luffy?" Robin asks.

"Yup, when you're aware of their presence you can't help but stare at them, wanting them to look at you and when they do you get embarrassed and look away. You know what they like, what they hate, how they interact with people who aren't you. You want them to treat you specially. Everything about the person you like is more important than yourself." Luffy says as he smiles. Sanji was not paying attention, looking at everything in the box. He looks at the girls.

"After learning he had feeling for you, Zoro became extremely aware of your actions." Nami pointed at him.

"Yes, he noticed that you needed something to light your cigarettes, that you could use some new shoes, he even bought shoe shine for the new ones, he bought you a new set of knives amongst other things." Sanji looked at everything, the lighter, the new shoes plus shoe shine, the set of new knives with sharpening stone included, spices, at least two books of new recipes from a town they didn't have a lot of time to explore but he somehow had enough time to buy two recipe books, and some ties. Sanji sat down, facing the floor so the others couldn't see his face. He hid his blushing face. Zoro really loved him, and how did he feel about Zoro?

"This is like something from a love song, it just makes my heart race. If I had a heart. Yo ho ho ho," Brook laughs to himself. Everyone stares at everything Zoro got for Sanji. They glanced at Sanji just sitting there with his head down, there is so much thought and feelings in the items. Zoro's love shown in the object.

Sanji ignored everyone, drowning out the fight Usopp and Chopper had with Luffy for eating all the snacks. How did he feel about Zoro? Did he love him? Did he want to be with him? Yes he was jealous about their date but he thought it was because Zoro was pregnant and he was going on a date and there Sanji was, he hasn't thought about anyone except Zoro for the babies. He held him to make sure he wouldn't think about anyone but him. Why does this make his chest hurt? Sanji clutched his chest, it hurt really bad.
