He'd been disappointed Zoro hadn't been able to come to the party but, in all honesty, Sanji had anticipated being turned down for it. Perhaps he was spending too much time with Zoro? They'd already been on two days and text and called each other frequently, maybe Zoro was free but just wanted some space… No. Zoro wouldn't do that to him, right? He may not know him entirely all that well but Sanji could make an assumption that Zoro was a very forward kind of guy; if he thought Sanji was suffocating him then he'd let him know.
Still, it would have been nice to have had a plus one for tonight; he didn't fancy being alone for Christmas for the second year in a row. But he'd dressed up smart casual with a button up blue shirt and black denim jeans finished with a belt chain and a pair of black Converse hi-tops. He shouldered on a black waistcoat, the one with the black silk lining he was fond of, and swept his fringe neatly over his right eye as he usually did.
Enjoying the refreshing feeling of being in clean clothes after a hot shower and a clean shave to neaten his goatee, he grabbed his messenger bag with the presents, all neatly wrapped, for his friends- it was Luffy's party after all and they had decided to exchange their gifts to one another whilst they were there. He'd catered for the party himself and left the buffet food at Luffy's and Ace's place but whether it had survived or not was yet to be known… He hoped Luffy had heeded his warning that he'd end up with a severe kicking if he'd touched so much as a single piece of food.
He looked at his watch, he'd better get leaving if he wanted the chance to uncover all the food he'd prepared. He sent a message to Zoro's phone before grabbing all his stuff and leaving.
'Merry Christmas x'
