Sanji gave a breathy sigh at his workstation. This was a problem.

Sanji didn't notice the stares aiming at him. One chef turned to the other. They all looked worried. A day ago he was anxious for the day to end, to close the restaurant and now he's been sighing with every breath.

"Did something bad happen with his lover?" One asks in a whisper.

"They broke up?" Another suggests with a shrug, just throwing ideas out.

"No way. He's not that sad."

"Yeah, and don't they have a child together? It's not that simple." Another one says. Its doesnt seem to look good for Sanji. But it's not too bad. They continue to whisper before Sanji saw their lips moving more than their hands.

"Are you working or talking?" Sanji asks joining their little circle. They all stared at him shocked. One chef opens his mouth, wanting to ask if he's okay but thought against it. Since the day he was hired and before the grand opening of All Blue Sanji is reserved and strict.

"Sanji!" They all turn over to see a waitress. "Corne is here." She steps to the side and Corne walks in dressed casually. Sanji looks at him confused. Not understanding why he was here.

"Does the old man need help?" Sanji asks. Corne just shakes his head. Sanji raises his curly eyebrow, if he doesn't need help then why is Corne here? "Do you need my help?" He then asks.

Corne gives him a sly smile. "I'm here for information."

"For what?"

"For information for Zeff. You see we heard through the grapevine that Zoro and Megumi are making everyone, including us background characters something for Valentines. So we, really Zeff, wanted to plan something but there's one problem."

"You don't know what Zoro likes." Sanji says.

"We don't know what Zoro likes. We know what Megumi likes and wants but Zoro is a mystery." Corne says deflated.

"I would like to help but I'm stuck myself, planning for Valentines day. I know what I'm doing for Megumi." Sanji says.

"Really?" Corne asks shocked. Sanji nods. "Well what are some likes and dislikes of his?" The man asks. They step to the side to not be in the way.

"He doesn't like sweet things, at least not a lot of it. If it is sweet it can't be overly sweet. He'll eat about anything. He likes sake but we don't really buy alcohol, unless it's for cooking. He also likes to exercise." Sanji says.

What will he do for Zoro? Everything will seem lackluster compared to his proposal. With the proposal he forgot about Valentine's that was literally two days later. Zoro seems to have what he and Megumi are giving planned already. That morning when he drove Megumi to school she was talking about Valentines, and how excited she is. It was on the weekend so she won't see her school friends, but that doesn't seem to be phasing her. Plus he doesn't know what Zoro is doing? The man hasn't said a peep about it, neither has Megumi.

Sanji wished he planned things better. But he can't complain either. He was to much in the clouds after Zoro had said yes to marrying him. How could he not? Zoro had said yes.

Actually said yes. He was over the moon. After the rest of their date, they went home and released Kaya of babysitting. Being at home, mostly alone, they were both so happy but shy. What do they do now? After they got past the silence with a few words, a pinch to make sure they weren't dreaming or hallucinating, lips found each other, clothes were thrown off and they had passionate sex. It was so hot and steamy, it was amazing.

"Anything else?" Corne asks breaking Sanji out of his thoughts. The blonde shakes his head.

"Not- wait, he's kind of a nerd, geek."

"Don't know how that'll help but it's something." Corne shrugs. "See you." He waves and leaves.

He needed to plan something for Zoro but first is work.

Zoro looked down at his hand. The engagement ring really standing out. He didn't know what to do. Does he take it off or not? He's not one for rings, he's never worn one before this so it's kind of weird to be wearing one now. It's very noticeable but he guesses it's like his earrings too. It took awhile for him to get use to having it, the weight and feel of metal.

Would Sanji care if he took it off for a while to cook? He doesn't want to get it dirty. Zoro looks over into the living room to see Megumi drawing as she watch an old cartoon. "Megumi?" Zoro calls, she lift her head to look over at him. "Do you have an old necklace? Or a broken one?" Zoro asks.

Mehumi tilts her head, "why?" She asks.

"Just want to borrow one." Zoro says. Megumi nods. She stands up and leads Zoro to her room. She goes to her little tea time area and takes her kangaroo. She rumages her hand into the kangaroo pouch. She then takes out a very old necklace.

"Here." She says looking guilty. Zoro didn't understand why though. He takes it in his hand and looks at it. Then he knew why. It was Megumi's first ever necklace. Scarlet had bought it for her when she was just born. Zoro had kept it on her almost all the time. It was like a dog tag. It had Megumi's name on it. It was a very beautiful dog tag with a graceful swan engraved on it. But now it was chipped and Megumi's name was rubbing off. It looked dirty. Must have been since its been on her for years.

"I'll give it back okay." Zoro says. He slipped his ring off and put it along the chain, it sat perfectly neck to the metal tag.

"Your not mad?" Megumi asks, looking at Zoro shocked.

"Why would I be mad?"

"I was hiding it because I broke it little. And its dirty, and old." She says rubbing her feet together as she looked down in shame.

He pats her head. She looks up and him and Zoro gives her a smiles. "Its okay. Its old. I'm sure it was going to break or get dirty some day. I think it was a good idea giving it to Hopper. He kept it safe." Zoro tells her as he put it on.

"Really?" She asks.

"Yes. I'm not mad." Zoro gives her another smiles. "Now let me start on dinner. Daddy is going to be late today." Zoro stands up. Megumi smiles and follows him out where she continued her drawing as she watched cartoons.

Zoro went back into the kitchen to get their dinner started.
