As he paused, his British accent filled the air, "I get it, it may seem like I'm just trying to impress you, but honestly, being with you makes me feel amazing." His eyes locked onto yours, sincerity shining through.

No matter how many times he brings you joy or frustration, you find yourself plagued by doubts about the authenticity of his confession. The uncertainty lingers, casting a shadow over your heart.

As his eyes lingered on your lips, a flicker of hope ignited within you, thinking he might lean in for a kiss. But instead, he gently spoke, "Since you heard me, Y/n, let me take a moment to rest and regain my strength." his words carried a hint of vulnerability, as if he feared losing hope of winning you over.

After an hour, Sanji peacefully drifted off into a nap. Overwhelmed with emotion, you couldn't help but feel the weight of his genuine affection for you.

As you strolled around the island, searching for something to alleviate your boredom. Suddenly, Zoro appeared by your side, catching your eye. With a serious expression on his face, he quipped, "Lost in thoughts of that waiter, huh?"

Taken aback by his sudden presence, you exclaimed, "Zoro!" He couldn't help but smile slightly at your reaction.

You chucked softly "I'm sorry, It's just too quiet here, your voice caught me off guard," you confessed. "But seriously, how do you always know what's on my mind?" you asked, genuinely curious. Zoro chuckled and replied, "Well, it's pretty obvious, y/n. Your expressions give it away."

"Reading you is like an open book," he remarked, a playful glint in his eyes. Zoro, his heart feeling a twinge as if he had unintentionally eavesdropped on your conversations with Sanji, lowered his gaze, contemplating his words. Finally, he looked up and advised, "Just be honest with him."

You gave him a questioning look, your eyes searching for answers. "That waiter... it seemed like he really needed you by his side," he said, his voice carrying a mix of curiosity and concern.

"I can see your eyes light up whenever you see Sanji, and you always have a smile on your face when you talk to him. It's pretty clear that there's something special between you two, Y/n. No need to hold back your feelings."

"But I hope he's not a jerk because if he hurts you, I won't let him off the hook"

He flashed you a warm smile and confessed, "I do have feelings for you. But it seems like his feelings are even stronger."

Your heart skipped a beat as Zoro spoke, gracefully letting you go for Sanji. It was surprising to see him being so kind and mature. You felt a pang of guilt for not being able to return his feelings, but realized your heart only echoed Sanji's name.

Zoro added, "Sanji may have a playful side, but deep down, he's also a good guy.  I can sense his genuine interest in you and I want to reassure you that Sanji cares about your well-being. Trust your instincts and give him a chance."

You smile warmly as you recall a specific moment with Sanji. You remember a time when you were feeling overwhelmed, and Sanji was right there by your side, offering his support and helping you through it all. Since the day you first met, Sanji has always brought joy to your life with his presence and kind-hearted nature. You even remember Sanji's playful side. His charm and witty banter always manage to make you smile and laugh. It's no wonder you couldn't resist falling in love with him.

You took a deep breath and mustered the courage to speak. "Hmm, I've come to realize that my feelings for Sanji run deeper than I thought. Even though I thought Sanji was a flirt, I can see now that he's serious."

"Honestly, I also have feelings for him," you admitted, "but trusting his words has been a struggle."

With a concerned look, you turned to him and said, "Zoro, I appreciate our friendship and your understanding. It's tough for me to feel the same, but I do recognize how special it is that you have feelings for me"

Zoro, with his warm gaze and understanding, reassured you by saying, "Yeah, Sanji's just a charmer with a knack for winning over girls. Even I don't trust that guy. I just want to see you happy, so if he ever hurts you, don't hold back from telling me."

You smiled at his unwavering support, and you find him amazing for encouraging you to follow your heart. Despite his own feelings for you, he's trying to let you go for Sanji. You can't put into words how grateful you are for his kindness.

As you two gathered the courage to express your own feelings, your eyes twinkled with anticipation. You poured your hearts out, and even though Sanji wasn't physically present, your thoughts were consumed by him. The air was filled with a mix of vulnerability, understanding, and a glimmer of optimism for what the future may hold.

After talking with Zoro, Your thoughts were completely taken over by Sanji, as if he occupied your mind entirely. You couldn't help but think about him all the time.

Sanji's POV

My eyes fluttered open from a nap, and a smile spread from my lips when I saw Y/n by my side. It seems like she fell asleep as she laid against the tree.

Despite the pain in my wound, I managed to get up and sat next to her. I couldn't help but admire her beautiful and innocent face.

I was really curious to find out if she feels the same way about me. I've noticed her blushing a lot when we hang out, but she's always denying any feelings. I really hope I can make this work because she's become such an important part of my life.

Lost in my thoughts, I suddenly felt a familiar weight on my shoulders, just like on the ship. She leaned on me, resting her head against my shoulder. It felt like a comforting embrace.

Feeling unsure, I don't know what to do either. I just want to make sure I don't make her uncomfortable. It made me nervous when she brushed her head against my shoulder while she was asleep.

I was thinking about repositioning her to rest on Ussop's bag instead of my shoulders. As I adjusted my arms, my heart raced like a speeding train when she suddenly wrapped her arms around mine, and then a smile formed on her face.

"Don't go just yet, I'm really enjoying having you here," she whispered with a slight smile, her eyes closed, holding me tightly.

Time stood still as I watched her holding my arms. I couldn't help but wonder if this was just a dream or reality. Her sudden display of affection left me questioning why she had changed so suddenly.
