Topic: Exhaustion
Word Count: 296 (so close!)
Notes: Post-battle... any battle I guess... but post-Water 7.
A tiny droplet of blood is tracing its way down his chin, leaving a tickling trail of annoyance, but he hasn’t the strength to raise a hand and wipe it off. Tucking his bottom lip under his top, he expels as much air as he can muster towards the now dangling drop. It wibbles … but doesn’t fall. Ah, well … guess it’s staying there then.
He forces his eyes open enough to gaze upon the deck of the Merry. Her lovingly, if not quite expertly, repaired mast strong behind him. The first person he sees is Zoro. Flat on his back with arms and legs spread to the four corners. The swordsman has lost his shirt. Again. Why does he always lose his shirt? Tucked into the curve of one of Zoro’s arms is Chopper. Bruised and bloody and snuggling into a man most wouldn’t even use the word ‘snuggle’ nearby.
A glance to the right finds the Captain fast asleep with a drooping head that would imminently be meeting Usopp’s own shoulder. A glance to the left reveals Sanji trying to raise his lighter up to meet the cigarette in his mouth, but his two precious hands are shaking so badly from exhaustion, he’s losing the battle. Usopp isn’t sure where Nami is, but he can hear movement in the galley, so he figures she’s well.
Suddenly, there’s a slight breeze and an arm is blossoming from his own chest. It reaches forward slowly and gently wipes the droplet of blood off his chin. From the corner of his eye, he can see two more arms stilling Sanji’s hands and lighting his smoke for him. Turning forward and meeting Robin’s gaze, Usopp finds the strength to grin at her.
He’s so happy she’s back.
*fin*
OMAKE: (because I couldn't help it! XD XD)
"Yo, Robin, my nuts could use a scratch."
"Certainly, Swordsman-san."
"WAIT! I WAS ONLY JOK-.... EEP!"
OMAKE to the OMAKE:
*COUGH* "Eh... a little more to the left?"*happy sigh*
OMAKE to the power of three:
*ahem*"Robin-chwan, if you wouldn't mind-"
"R-R-Robin, I think my arms are paralized-"
"ROOOOOBIIIIIIIN! No fair just doing Zoro's!"
"Certainly, gentlemen ... it would be my pleasure."
"ARGH! MEN! YOU'RE ALL DISGUSTING!!"
^__^ okay... i'm done now. hee.
