Title: Adventure
Rating: G
Pairing: Er… no
Word Count: 310
Adventure.
Funny word, isn't it? Adventure. It makes you think of something fun; some wild time you look forward to, and boast about when you return.
It did not bring to mind constant marine attacks, rival pirates or the general populous' rampant desire to kill you.
Upon reflection, Ussop realized this fit Luffy's description perfectly.
"Lets go on an adventure, Ussop!" That’s how it started. An innocent request, and the port seamed safe enough- no monsters or man-eating beasts like the last two times he heard the 'A-word' from his captain.
He should have known.
Currently, he was knock-kneed but standing, more or less bravely, between two mobs just waiting to tear him and each other apart. The formerly mentioned captain was nowhere to be found.
He wondered which group would be safer to face, the Pirates or the Marines- but decided it was hopeless either way. Still...
"S-stop right there! I am the T-terible C-captian Ussop, and at my signal, 90 Million men will attack!"
That never worked, but it was worth a shot.
"Really? Sugoi!!!"
And then there was Luffy. Ok, sometimes it worked.
"And here's one now- Luffy, go get 'em!"
With a hand between rubber shoulders, he pushed his captain toward the onrushing pirates. And Ran.
They would argue later, over who's fault it was. Luffy's, obviously- he's the one who broke their ships... but Ussop knew he didn't really mind anyway. It all came with the 'adventure'.
He hated being saved, he really did. But it was good to know Luffy was there. Because he knew, with absolute certainty where his captain was concerned- he would never allow anyone to hurt his Nakama.
He would get stronger, over time. And he would stand on his own. But for now, he had time to grow at his own pace. His leg muscles were already getting impressive...
So, I was lamenting my inability to write Ussop (as seen in the above story that failed miserably at being fluff as it was intended...) and this popped out of my head. God help me, Slashslut!Nami may just be making another appearance later- I can't seem to get away from this...
I totally blew the word count, but it wanted to be so much longer, and this was the most I could make myself crop it. Its good for a laugh at least. This is only a side story to Doujinshi 3... so, er... it, unfortunately, does not produce any sales for Nami. Sorry, Nami.
Title: Omake
Rating: PG?
Word Count: (a freaking huge) 369
Pairing: ZoroxUssop... IN HIS HEAD! (or maybe not) Muahahaha~!
Consciousness is a funny thing. Sometimes it just creeps up on you. Like now. Slowly, awareness dawned on Ussop. The first thing he noticed was warmth. It was comfortable, and soft, and he snuggled into it.
When he noticed that warmth was breathing, consciousness came rushing back at speed. Eyes snapped open to find a very awake Zoro staring up at him.
His breath caught as he froze, terror flooding back into his system. He remembered now.
The swordsman looked oddly resigned, shifting his gaze toward the ceiling.
"What did you do?" The voice was low, subdued. And scared the shit out of him.
Ussop cowered, sliding a few inches down the other man's body in an attempt to get away. This made him grasp just what they weren't wearing, and he realized just how dead he was. Throwing arms over his head, he squeaked out, "n-nothing.. I swear. I just woke up here --"
A hand came to rest on the back of his head, and he tensed again. There would be a squeeze, and then....... squish! He just knew it. Zoro could do it, he was strong like that.
But a minute passed and his head was still there, so Ussop looked up. Zoro hadn’t moved.
“Just go back to sleep.”
Confused, he almost jumped when the swordsman’s other arm came up to wrap around his back. Slowly, apprehensively, he relaxed as bidden. You don’t argue with Zoro. Even if you didn’t expect to wake back up again.
--
He felt a shoulder shake, and mumbled something incoherent, too comfortable to want to move- but a more insistent shake made him open his eyes.
He froze, terrified again, under the weight of Zoro's glare. A small portion of his brain still able to work processed this and came to the conclusion that he must have been dreaming.
Damn.
He was going to die.
Zoro stared impassively at the ceiling, belying his next calm words with their content.
"If you get off of me and out of my sight right now, I'll let you live."
It is possible that a new landspeed record was made that day. Zoro smirked, just happy he wasn't the bottom this time.
~~~
And on a completely different note- I wanted to share this little gif that my boyfriend so kindly made last week to cheer me up. Luffy WANTS you to be happy!

I'm going to be staring at that gif forever now
Date: 2004-08-26 08:37 pm (UTC)The first is quite true to form (and cute 'n funny) I love the last line. The second ... Usopp dreams of being threatened by Zoro in compromising positions? How uke is that? XD; (poor 'sopp!)
Re: I'm going to be staring at that gif forever now
Date: 2004-08-26 09:36 pm (UTC)You know... if I could draw consistently- and god I wish I could- I would so HAVE a picture of Luffy with his lips tied... ^_^
Uke Usspo, yay! I could see it. Thanks for the comments- glad you liked 'em. I kinda only finished the one on my lunch break, so I was agonizing over them all day ("oh, this sound dumb... crap, have to revise... argh!" ya... thats what it sounded like.) Think I may at some point get around to writing the long version of that too. Who knows. As for Ussop... I'm noticing a trend here. I'm starting to wonder if I don't just like seeing Ussop scared. o_O;; Where Zoro's concerned, at least. Dunno why, it just amuses me.
Re: I'm going to be staring at that gif forever now
Date: 2004-08-26 09:41 pm (UTC)For that matter, tied-lips Luffy is bound to make cute whimpering noises ... ah, I'm evil. I'd better stop now.
Re: I'm going to be staring at that gif forever now
Date: 2004-08-26 10:07 pm (UTC)Oh well, I'll have to find someone with it. *sighs*
Hmmm. Cute whimpering noises.... argh! You've got ME started now.... ^_~
Re: I'm going to be staring at that gif forever now
Date: 2004-08-26 10:35 pm (UTC)Hehe, Luffy's cute innocence inspires so much perverseness.
Re: I'm going to be staring at that gif forever now
Date: 2004-08-26 11:23 pm (UTC)Yay, I can get a screencap now! Er. Sorry. I've been referring to his 'captured moments' as 'bondage zoro' all week... Was redoing my mood icons on my paid journal and realized how funny this looked: http://www.ladykarasu.com/mood/tentacle/toomuchzoro.jpg
Just look at the center picture, his expression, and where he's looking. ^_~ That was completely unplanned. Was laughing for a good hour.
