My guess makes more sense that your argument that a rose will suddenly be enough to cure his anxiety and nervousness about being locked into a killing game.
[Which helps inform the rest of his guess? He seems to hum for a moment.]
Let's walk backwards - you have a rose for Zelos, even if you haven't given it to him yet. You asked me if I got roses for Sousei because the castle wanted me to, instead of it being my own feelings.
So... you want to give the rose to Zelos, which can be seen as a romantic gesture, and you're not sure whether or not that's part of the castle's effects or if [you're just gay] that part comes from you?
Also someone please introduce this dumb slut to bisexuality for the love of God.]
... But let's say you're sorta on the money. A bit. [Folding his arms in irritation] The fact the castle's to blame just means I should ignore all of this crap...
[He's much like Jae-Ha in this regard; the natural inclination is to rebel, hard. That it's not the more enticing option this time around is what's got him pissy.]
It's not about whether or not the castle made me want to give flowers of a romantic nature to my partner. If this was about the castle making me fall in love with him insincerely, I probably would've been more thoughtful and gotten him something he actually liked.
[in that 'this is what love is supposed to look like' kind of way
but instead, like he's commenting on the weather:]
I'm interested in Sousei, and my feelings aren't platonic in the slightest. I've known that for a while - this week's little charade has no effect on that.
[so he'll
let that
sink in
on what it might mean for sanji]

It's stressful because at any moment, one of us could meet our end.
You know by now that that's how I've been leaving for at least the past five years or so... and it's been my personal belief that I should make the most of the time I have until the end, so long as I don't leave anyone behind with hurt feelings.
[What an interesting way to explain the fact that Jae-ha does literally whatever he wants.]
It might make things awkward - but it might turn out a lot better than you're thinking, too.

[Yelling at Jae-Ha didn't work.
Now he's gotta try to reason.]
It's just to help keep him... y'know. Calm and shit. He likes to pretend he's fine half the time but he gets anxious in his own way...

Is this related to how you think sex is truth serum.
no subject
[NEVERMIND we're back to yelling]

[bUT ANYWAY]

[And now he's sulking.
Sanji is showing more moods than a temperamental bull, and with a sigh, just slouches back, gnawing at his fingernails.]
If it did... [He would've already tried before now, to make that idiot happy.
...]
I know I'm not making any sense.

For many reasons.
But chief among them being that he feels his ears starting to burn a little.]
Oh.
[YEAH that's all he's got at the moment.]
no subject
Jae-ha just hums.]
It sounds more like a case of poor timing for you than anything else to me.
But now I'm worried - what do you plan on doing with your feelings, Mr. Romantic?
no subject
[Yikes that is a really quick answer]
no subject
Why?
[sincerely curious - he doesn't sound very surprised
though he is
really proud of sanji for how quick he sort of seemed to just accept that he has a case of Feelings]
no subject
There's no point.
Even if we weren't stuck in this shitty castle, Zelos would sooner die than... anything.
[Just stated matter-of-fact]
no subject
Self-preservation?
no subject
Something like that.
He's... not good with feelings, lemme tell ya.
[AS IF SANJI IS but let's ignore that part]
Besides, pretty sure he likes Reyna-chan.
[Holding his hands up immediately]
Which is fine! He needs to get attached to someone, the idiot, even if he's afraid to.
no subject
[there's some incredulousness in jae-ha's voice]
Don't get me wrong - maybe it's the right, polite thing to do.
But... if what you feel is yours, you know I can't encourage you ignoring that for the sake of others.
no subject
[Sounding a touch bemused. Sanji doesn't see the problem with putting Zelos' feelings first here.
Even if there's a loooot of assumptions Sanji is making.]
No point in making shit awkward between us. Everything's already so stressful.

Heh... you're more pirate than I am, it seems.
[It's not that Sanji disagrees. It's just.
... A lot of things.]
Well, you answered my shitty question, so I'll... think about it.
no subject
[maybe?]
If nothing else, it's simply a beautiful thing to live life without reservation, I think.
no subject
[Like his captain would.
Sanji closes his eyes.]
Yeah, it is.
[Who knows if he'll follow through, but... the sentiment is something Sanji agrees with]
