Im Gay And I Love Usopp

Pt. 4

Number 2: Domestic

The installation in the workshop was ready.

Now all that was left was to put it to use.

Usopp searched all over the ship until he found him. Sitting at the bow of the Sunny, he was gazing at the clouds –an unusual activity for his captain: sitting still. But the sharpshooter already knew the signs; Luffy was trying to stay awake a little longer to watch the sunset. In that case, he’d wait for him to finish-

“OH, USOPP!” An arm reached out, and Usopp felt something wrap around him and then pull him along.

In a single motion, he was already beside the boy, who was pointing out the colors in the sky shifting from orange to a purplish hue at an impressive speed. As he settled in, he felt the weight of the other’s head on his shoulder and smiled. He couldn’t help but smile too; it was one of those moments where time seemed to stop, even though they could clearly see that night was slowly claiming its place.

Luffy snuggled closer to Usopp’s arm, growing sleepier and sleepier. “Luffy, it’s dangerous to fall asleep here,” the dark-haired boy whispered sweetly as he tucked the other's hair behind his ear.

Luffy just mumbled, “Uhmm, Usopp’s here… it’s safe.”

When his captain decides it’s time for a nap, there’s no turning back. In that case –Usopp thought– it was the perfect opportunity. With great precision, he lifted a nearly asleep Luffy and, with strength he never would have thought he had years ago, headed effortlessly to his workshop.

When Luffy sensed Usopp’s warmth was gone, he opened his eyes to find himself in a… hammock?

“Hehe like old times... do you like it?” asked the sniper, folding some sheets. Luffy’s face lit up, and without thinking, he stretched out his arms to pull Usopp towards him.

Usopp almost stumbled before falling back onto the hammock with Luffy.

“Luffy!!” His blush was visible despite the dim light filtering in.

But Luffy just laughed. “This is great! Now let’s sleep,” declared the boy in the straw hat.

Usopp blinked for a moment before giving in and starting to adjust the space for both of them. Switching positions he gestured his hand “Okay, okay, come here,” and he didn’t have to say it twice before Luffy was already hugging him and resting his cheek against Usopp’s chest. Usopp couldn’t resist pinching and stretching one of those cheeks; but instead of Luffy getting annoyed like he usually did when people played with his face, he liked feeling Usopp’s calloused fingers against his skin. He ended up burrowing deeper into his chest, though.

“Ok, just a little nap, I know your stomach has its own alarm”, Usopp said, already yawning as he pulled the sheet over them.

With a quick peck and a sound of agreement from the captain, they both drifted off, keeping each other company.
