onepieceyaoi100Title: Dreams
Rating: PG-13 (nakamashippy, language)
Word Count: 300
Pairing: Zoro x Usopp, maybe hinting at Zoro x Luffy and Zoro x Sanji
Topic: Talking
A/N: I seriously write the most boring stuff ever. Like after reading everyone else's entries before this one I feel so dumb posting this lolol oh well.
“O-Oi, Zoro.”
“Nn?”
“Is it like, a talent or something?”
“…Swords?”
“No, I mean… Um. You know… being brave. A-and stuff.”
“…Brave?”
“A-and strong, and manly and tough and – I mean, dammit. I don’t know how the hell you and Luffy and Sanji do it. Charging into battle like that without the slightest trace of fear or worry, not caring what happens to you, if you’d get hurt, or if you’d lose, or if someone died or – “
“No one’s going to die.”
“You don’t know that for sure.”
“No, I don’t.”
“…so why…?”
“I’m not the mindless battle machine that everyone seems to think I am, y’know.”
“You seem that way.”
“What?”
“N-nothing! Um…”
“…”
“…”
“…I’m not entirely fearless. There are times when… well, when shit happens. Where the odds are just against you, and it feels like there’s no way in hell you’re going to win. Everyone faces that feeling sometimes. Even Luffy. He doesn’t show that face often, but there’s fear in his eyes when he sees any of us badly hurt. He’s afraid to lose us, and that’s why he fights so hard.”
“…”
“The shit-cook fights for his ocean. To be alive to find it and tell that old chef it’s real. …I fight because it’s my ambition and because it’s for her. If I want to live my dreams, I can’t afford to waste time on ‘what if’s. Only here, now, and what I can do about it. …and, to quote our Captain, ‘if I died chasing my dream, then at least I died trying’.”
“…you make it sound so easy.”
“Never said it was.”
“…”
“Your dream, Longnose. Fight for it. …And quit worrying so much.”
“Ow! Asshole! You didn’t have to hit me that hard!”
“Heh. At least you’re smiling now.”

bondagebonding sessions the Straw Hats have, that let us delve into how their minds work..It's pure love. ♥
The ending was so much like Zoro, I practically hugged my computer.
