“I don’t know, there’s no way he’d willingly wear anything I buy, and there is a guarantee anything with a diamond is just gonna lose the stone because he’s likely to wear it so much it breaks.”

Nami sighed, arms crossing as he exhaled and looked at Sanji with confused eyes and a pouty lip. “Sanji-kun, there aren’t many engagement rings for men, especially ones without diamonds,” she said, using memories of her thievery days to help her point. Sanji looked at her and sighed as well, hand pushing through his hair.

“Sanji-kun, perhaps it would be best to purchase a ring that serves as a wedding band later in your engagement.” Robin said, extra hands flipping through some sort of catalogue. “It would be the best option, as you save money and prevent Usopp-kun from losing a stone.”

Sanji, already looking through a display window between cautious and paranoid glances over his shoulders, only nodded. Nami scolded him for being an idiot. “Sounds good, but what color?”

“You have a large selection,” Nami said as she glanced at the catalogue Robin handed to her. “Gold, silver, bronze, platinum, anything is available, you just have to decide!”

“So Sanji-kun, what will you do?” Robin asked quietly.

Looking between the girls and the display window, Sanji’s eyes caught a selection of wedding bands. He walked a little closer without thinking, eyes landing on a specific silver band. He grinned, mind supplying an image of Usopp wearing the band around the ship. “I think I’ve got it.”

“Here, Iboughtthisforyousoyoubetterwearit-anddon’taskmewhy, justdoit, alright?”

Usopp watched Sanji combine his words and fumbled when the cook dropped a tiny box in his direction. The sniper looked at the box in confusion while Sanji looked away, a dark blush forming on his face. His curiosity got the best of him, Usopp feeling around the box before speaking up. “What’s this for? And why is it in such a small, fuzzy box?” he asked, fingers rubbing the textured surface.

Sanji’s blush only turned darker as he grew more embarrassed and angered, pulling the box out of Usopp’s hands before tearing it open and grabbing Usopp’s hand. He didn’t hesitate to shove the object onto Usopp’s finger, making the sniper yelp in pain and jerk back, Usopp complaining a possible finger jam.

“What the hell Sanji?? That really hurt…” Usopp started, trailing off as his eyes caught a glimpse of the silver band across his ring finger. His own face turned a bright scarlet color as he tried to stammer. “WH-WHA-WHAT IS THIS??!”

Sanji didn’t speak right away, just grabbed Usopp’s hand and turned his face away. “Just take it, idiot. I can’t ask you the right way, so shut up and say yes.”

“Say yes? Y-You mean…” Usopp asked, looking at the ring and biting his lip. “Is this what I-“

“Just say yes!” Sanji grumbled.

Usopp, still red in the face, gave Sanji his signature, crinkled smile and tugged on Sanji’s jacket sleeve. The cook didn’t respond to his actions until Usopp wrapped both arms around his waist and the sniper nuzzled against him. He mumbled under his breath and buried his face in Sanji’s chest some more.

Sanji smirked and hugged Usopp back, pulling him tighter against him. “Do you even know what I’m asking?”

“Yeah, I do.”
