“Ryu? What’s the matter?” Sanji puts the apple slices down. “Is there something wrong?” “Um…Sanji, um,” Ryu’s voice is small, meek and hesitant in a way Sanji hasn’t heard in a long, long time. “I have, um, I have…for you. Um. I want, um, I…” Sanji crouches down to get closer to Ryu’s eye-level. “Hey, it’s okay. You know you can tell me anything, right?” Ryu nods his head and shuffles his feet, toeing at a small crease in the tiles of Sanji’s kitchen floor. “…I know.” “Then, what’s up? What do you—” “HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!” Ryu blurts out. He shoves something at Sanji, a paper of some sort, and squeezes his eyes shut, his chin pressed tightly against his chest as if he’s bracing for impact. Sanji blinks. Blinks again. He takes the paper from Ryu’s trembling hands and looks down at it. There, held loosely between his fingers, is a Mother’s Day card.
