I SWEAR TO GOD WATTPAD FIX YOUR SHIT
The door was red. It was freshly painted over with red paint. He remembered watching them painting the door together. Him and his father.
Zoro stood before the door holding a small gift. Balloons were pinned to the door frame in various shades of blue. He hesitated before knocking at the door. He swallowed thickly patting his hair that was slicked back.
The door opened to a boy with blonde hair. His face lit up with a small smile wearing a party hat. He leaned against the door folding an arm behind his back while Zoro stood there awkwardly.
He was madly in love with the boy with blonde hair.
"You can come in." Sanji spoke.
Zoro snapped out of it before heading inside. Sanji noticed the poorly wrapped box in his hands. It was small. Very. small. It fit in his tiny little boy hand. With torn blue paper. Sanji smiled softly shutting the door as Zoro stepped inside. A few handful of the party guests knew who Zoro was and went to him. Luffy put a party hat on his head. While Zoro placed the small box on the table with the other gifts.
"Alright everyone! Since we are all here. Let's play a game!" Nami called.
Sanji sat on a foot rest in the middle of the room. Nami stood behind him putting a crown on his head. Luffy tried to steal. Often.
"Now we're gonna go around the room and say one good memory about the birthday boy." Nami said.
Sanji snickered with a blush.
"Now, my favorite memory is when you beat up those bullies who stole my bracelet. It was real heroic of you."
"It was nothing." Sanji grinned.
Zeff leaned against the wall watching them talk about his son. Luffy brought up everytime Sanji shared his lunch with him. Usopp told about the time they saved each other from bugs and bullies. And. All that was left was Zoro.
There was plenty of times Zoro remembered with Sanji. There first fight. Sanji patching up his wounds. Or the time he first fell in love with Sanji.
"I uh. I can't think of any."
Sanji frowned slightly.
"Alright kids, let's eat before Sanji opens his gifts."
They headed to the kitchen where Zoro stole his gift back from the table and put it in his pocket. Then headed with the other kids to the kitchen. Where Luffy was restrained by a small gate between the kitchen and the dinning room. Zeff knew about Luffy and his unhealthy eating habit. So. bought a small gate.
Until he gets old enough to walk over it.
Sanji sat in the dark with the dim lights of the candles. Everyone sang him Happy birthday in an awful tune. But Sanji still liked it. Before he blew out his candles and the room was dark. The lights flicked on with clapping of his guests.
Once it came around to gifts. Zoro wasn't there. He sat on the porch. Looking down to his stupid little gift.
Or what he thought was stupid.
"Oh there you are." Sanji chimed.
Zoro turned to him holding close the box.
"W-What are you doing out here?" Zoro asked.
Sanji went and sat next to him, "I could ask you the same thing."
Zoro looked back to the box earning Sanji's attention.
"Is that supposed to be for me?" he asked.
"Uh. yeah. But it's stupid. I'm gonna return it."
"No no. lemme see."
