Alright. So long as you don't try and kick my ass for calling you that in public.
[ Sanji. This is pretty gay, roll with it. Embrace it. It’s a bonding moment.

It's a nice word.

Gently knocking his foot into the side of Yusuke's, voice resuming its usual deadpan]
Oi, don't skimp out on the meal.
[He will hogtie him to the chair if he's gotta]
