onepieceyaoi100Seriously I need to start writing for other genres/characters >>; edit LOL also NOTE TO SELF LU/USO DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND W7 KTHX.
Title: Sleep
Rating: PG
Pairing: Luffy/Usopp. BIG SURPRISE.
Word Count: 297
Topic: Off like a cowboy flying from a failed rodeo.
A/N: Spoilers for Water 7 and latest chapters I guess?? Also, SICKENING, POINTLESS FLUFF LIKE URGH. I never liked writing pointless stuff but eh. This had to come out somewhere. Also, I really, really want Merry's head salvaged so it can be fitted onto the new ship. ;__;
When Luffy woke up, the sniper was alone with him, with an unsteady candle shivering in the corner, casting flickering shadows across concerned gazes and widened eyes. He tried to talk, but a hand slid over his mouth, and the sniper shook his head.
He looked terrified. The smile was too wide, eyes unblinking, the hand of a coward too steady across his face.
Usopp took several shaky breaths before speaking. “Ten days.”
Luffy remained gazing at the ceiling.
“Zoro had insomnia.” The sniper giggled, unsteadily. “It was hilarious, you should have seen him. Eyes like a panda for… well, until now, still. Actually, none of us slept.”
The hand slipped off then, fisted atop the sheets covering his bandaged form.
“You stupid idiot, you almost died.”
“So did you,” Luffy replied.
“When they got you down from the tower, your heart wasn’t beating. You were dead, you stupid asshole. It’s a miracle Chopper even managed to get it working again. Whatever blood had been in you was all over the walls.”
Luffy sighed.
“I’m cold,” he murmured, after a while.
Wordlessly, the sniper pulled himself into the bed alongside. Bandages shifted and scraped softly against each other, reminders of their battles fought and won as Usopp wrapped his limbs around the captain’s much more battered form. Luffy slung his own arms around the other.
Usopp’s forehead was blessed ice against his feverish cheek.
“Aren’t you, like…” - his tongue felt thick in his mouth - “supposed to tell the others that I’ve woken up?”
“They can wait,” came the childish retort, and something wet seeped through the bandages around his shoulder. Usopp didn’t raise his head.
“…but I want meat.”
“And I want my freaking shut-eye. Go back to sleep, stupid captain.”
“Meanie.”
Luffy closed his eyes.

Date: 2006-09-03 06:03 pm (UTC)Even if it was fluff, even if you've been writing a lot of this lately, I still really like it. I can't imagine dealing with 10 days of not knowing whether Luffy would wake up, watching him and knowing he was dead, even if only for a short time.
This pairing is so beautiful. <3 <3 <3
