I think Sanji would be embarrassed about his fear of the dark because in his eyes it's such a childish thing to be scared of.

That being said, Usopp cheers Kaya up by making up stories of him being brave, while he cheers Sanji up but making up stories of him being terrified of something seemingly harmless

AWWWW. This is adorable. I love how they're always comforting each other <33

Sanji being scared of the dark is something I adore because I think that after spending so much time locked up in such a dark place with that thing in his head he obviously has nightmares and feels uneasy in dark places. He never, not once, tells the crew. He just sleeps in the kitchen with the excuse that the boys' quarters are a mess and it's awful to sleep next to them (which is also extremely true, by the way).

But consider Usopp and Sanji dating and Usopp obviously wanting to sleep next to him so he asks Sanji to just... Stay with him in his bed. But whenever Usopp wakes up in the middle of the night, Sanji's side of the bed is empty. Usopp just guesses sleeping together isn't his thing? Maybe? But that's just stupid, isn't it? Because Sanji adores these cheesy things and he's always cuddling with Usopp whenever they want to take a nap.

Maybe one day Sanji won't move because he doesn't want to leave Usopp alone and confused, so he fights against his fear. And it is better now that Usopp is holding him, but-- It doesn't fix it completely. Sanji ends up telling him because he doesn't want Usopp to think he doesn't want to sleep next to him, and Usopp says something like "Pfft. Scared of the dark? Really?" / "Don't laugh. You promised you wouldn't-" / "How could I not laugh when that is the most cliché fear of them all? It is basic. I'm even surprised you were embarrassed at all" / "Then you- You don't think I'm childish for-" / "No? Why would you be? To this day I'm still afraid of curtains because I once thought my kitchen curtain was a ghost"

He spends the whole night telling Sanji about his dumb, ridiculous fears until Sanji falls asleep in the kitchen with him. Nobody else knows about this and they pretty much end up sleeping always either there or in the aquarium with a faint night light turned on.
