Title: Body Paint

Topic: Body Art


Luffy snored softly. Usopp smiled as he finished the last leaf on the back of the boy's right hand. He was glad Luffy had fallen asleep; he'd been much too wiggly when he'd been awake, making Usopp's attempt at painting him difficult.

Usopp looked down at his captain. He was naked, his body having been turned into a canvas. The long-nosed artist had painted vines onto the boy's back, starting at the nape of his neck and going down his arms and legs.

After a moment's contemplation, Usopp picked up another brush. Dipping into a new color, he carefully began brushing it against the Luffy's nape. He moved slowly, partially out of caution and partially because he was enjoying this; the closeness to Luffy's bare body, the sight of the boy's skin being colored by his handiwork, even the sensation of the brush moving in his hand. There were few opportunities to paint on a pirate ship, so he had every intention of taking his time.

He made a slight mistake, so he picked up a cloth, carefully wiping off the paint. Blushing, he let his fingers brush against the Luffy's skin, feeling the soft texture. Luffy moved a bit, laughing in his sleep. Usopp laughed, too, then sat up... it would be easier to finish this while Luffy was still asleep.

Luffy yawned and moved a bit.

"Hold still," Usopp told him. "You have to let the paint dry."

"Ok. There's flowers on my hands..."

"Yeah... I painted flowers on your hand and feet, and one on your back--one for each of us."

"Cool!"

Usopp laughed. "Thanks. You said wanted a picture of something that was important to you, after all."

Thanks! Though I really don't feel I did all I could with it... the word limit can sometimes be... uh... limiting.
Glad you liked it, though. ^_^

This is so sweet ... but Usopp's gonna wake up with Luffy's horrible doodles drawn all over his body.

LOL! Maybe! Though he did ask Usopp to do it. But maybe he'd consider that "returning the favor"... ^_^

Exactly. And Usopp won't be able to tell him he didn't want pictures of dinosaurs and meat all over his body.

Oooh, naked-canvas-luffy could yield some interesting prospects... although, one may wonder... would the paint stretch out like a balloon when he starts doing his thing? ^_^ Oops- sorry, mind got sidetracked there; Nice sentiment, I approve! ^_^

Oh, yeah! Originally I was gonna just have him be topless, but my friend liked the idea of the vines going all the way to Luffy's feet, so you got naked Luffy. ^_^

Probably. ^_^

Okay, the fact that Usopp did that for Luffy was awesome, but the fact that he knew what was most important to Luffy, and he was able to do it in an artistic way, is pretty damn awesome.

Of course, the vines and artwork starting from Luffy's back and spreading outward has got to be an interesting sight when you look at him with his clothes on. You just have to wonder though -- who's the one on his Luffy's back?
