Title: Doesn't
Rating: G
Word Count: 245
Pairing: UsoLu, and others
Topic: Senses
Notes: I just wanted to write some comfort stuff. XP And I figure I should make it on topic, while I'm at it. Work on more sensual stuff a bit. Also seeing if I wanna go back to italics instead of bold for emphasis.

The almost impermeable darkness of the hold folded around them, embracing, as the two boys normally would have done. One's apprehension preceded his desire to be close to the other, however, so Luffy hung back, watching his friend with calm, wide eyes.

"We snuck out here tonight cuz ya didn't want them to see, right?" he asked, light and carefree as the breeze.

Usopp shook his head, making a point to speak quieter than the other. "Can't you take this seriously? I did this for a good reason, and it's not--"

Luffy stayed his voice, placing a finger near the sniper's lips.

"It's fine." His tone was quiet, his smile gentle. "Even if they already know, it'll be all right."

The marksman froze and stared off into space, sharp eyes searching the gloom fruitlessly, then his shoulders slumped as though in defeat. He exhaled a little, about to speak, then cut off his first words with the second thoughts that came to mind.

"But if Sanji knows, and Zoro knows--" He paused after saying the second name with considerable trepidation, remembering the protective look in the swordsman's eyes. Swallowing dryly, he continued, "Luffy, this doesn't make any sense..."

His captain just kept smiling, drawing his nakama close. Usopp returned the embrace, not absently, his hands clinging to the warmth as he repeated his last statement to the timbers creaking in the night.

rofls I tried not to make it too OOC. ;o; These types of situations in fanfiction usually lead that way when done wrong... especially if they involve female characters. Fun!

Thank you. XD Actually I'm almost afraid to keep writing it, even though it's my favorite pairing, because there seems to be so much of it already. I'm just afraid I'll end up repeating another's work. :x

Hmm, I like the part about Zoro in here. Usopp makes a good point. And Luffy is just so himself. I liked it!

Thanks. :D I was trying to make the underlying pairings just apparent enough to maybe make out more of the situation. Yay complication!
