I can't even stick to my own topic.

Title: White Sauce
Rating: PG-13 for Sanji's foul mouth.
Word Count: 300 precisely. Lucky lucky.
Pairing: Sanji/Usopp
In retrospect, Usopp should have headed away from the kitchen when he heard the sound of “ShitshitshitshitshitshitshitSHIT!”
Now he was stuck here at the stove, very slowly and precisely stirring some sort of odd cheese-sauce-ish stuff. Sanji had said that it needed to be stirred slowly (or it would get the wrong texture!) and constantly (or it would scorch!), and he didn’t trust the attention span of anyone else still on board. He’d also said that he’d be back in five minutes.
That had been twenty minutes ago. The sauce looked fine, but Usopp was bored out of his mind and his arm was getting tired. If the ship was attacked while they were in port, how was Mighty Ship Guard Usopp supposed to fend off the attackers while stirring sauce?
The thought that he might quit stirring it long enough to wage battle fluttered briefly across his head and was quickly squashed by his sense of self-preservation. Sanji having his food ruined was a sight to behold from a safe distance of about five kilometers.
Well, if he was shackled to this foul stuff, he might as well invent a story about it.
Ten minutes later, Sanji sprinted back into the kitchen, out of breath, clutching a bag of cardamom seeds, and terrified that his very special, very delicate white sauce had been ruined…
…to find Usopp humming quietly and smiling to himself as he stirred the absolutely pristine sauce. Usopp saw him, grinned, and said, “The wizard returns with the final ingredients for his True Love Potion.”
Sanji blinked. He might be the Love Cook, and that might be some damn fine white sauce, but it wasn’t exactly a love potion.
“The wizard’s faithful assistant hopes that he gets to try some of it.”
Sanji smiled despite himself.

(One of the best scenes I've ever seen.)
I love Usopp's creative mind.XDD You just succeeded making me love him a whole lot more.*grins happily*
