Off-topic. It occurred to me I hadn't actually written any SanUso, so obviously this oversight needed to be rectified.



A sea cook knows better than to drink seawater, no matter how long you're caught dry on the ocean. Ironic dehydration; the more you swallow the quicker you die of thirst.

Usopp's skin tastes of salt, sweat-salt and sea-salt, but now there's a different taste, and when he raises his head to look, the tears in his crewmate's eyes are spilling down his face, more than he can wipe away.

"I didn't--I didn't think you'd--not after I...it was so lonely, on the ship, without--without any of you. I didn't know it could be so lonely..."

"Missed you," Sanji says, and kisses him. Bitter salt, stronger than the sea on his lips, but he swallows anyway; that's the danger of drinking saltwater, that once you're thirsty enough to start, you'll never stop.

And now, some embarrassing noises from me.

Awwwww. Waaaaauuuuugh.

Your damn good at coherent themes for these things. Not to mention, the crying and the cute.

Ahhh, great. T_T So sweet and raburabu. And I love the way you incorporated the saltwater references.

Lovely, and heartbreaking. I know it shouldn't be, but... I want everything to be good again. *clings*

Oh...I love Usopp, and I love happy endings, and I love this drabble. I am very happy now!

So good! It's fluffy and yet not fluffy and the incorporation of salt/sea water is just awesome.
