onepieceyaoi100Title: Between Moments
Pairing: I. Er. Seem to keep forgetting this is a yaoi drabble group. I throw myself upon the unstrained mercy of the court and plead for leniency on account of (attempted) Luffy-nakamashipping.

Notes: I'll have to try this again; couldn't force it to work this time. Le sigh.
Two hours past midnight, two hours before dawn, nothing happens; everything is so still time might be stopped. The Going Merry is anchored, sails furled, and her captain keeping watch in the crow's nest. Though they haven't spotted any ships for days, one might appear. Maybe Marines, a fun battle. He'd have to wake Zoro, so he wouldn't miss the sword practice. And Chopper afterwards, if they got cut.
But there's no sails, no cannon thunder, just deliberately audible footsteps on the deck below. Luffy rockets down to grin at Robin. "You're early."
Robin nods. "If you'd like I can take over now."
"You like having watch."
"I enjoy the peace, for reading." There's a book tucked under her arm, like always. "But you, Captain, does it bore you, not having enough crew to man the ship through the night?"
Unlike the others' insults, he never quite can tell when Robin's teasing him. He shrugs. "Nami's asleep anyway." It's true he has more crew to find, but the Grand Line can't be traversed without a navigator's genius.
For a silent moment they watch the sea together. Beside the ship floats a raft of sleeping albatrosses, heads tucked under wings, gray bobbing specks in the moonlight. If they're around tomorrow Usopp could shoot a couple down; Sanji's been worrying about their dwindling supplies.
"You don't find it lonely, at night?" Robin asks, quiet as the lapping waves.
He'd be certain she is teasing, but when he touches her shoulder it's stiff like wood. "A while ago, when I first set out. Never now. How can you be lonely, when you're not alone?"
One Piece is out there to find, and those crewmates he has still to meet, and he can't wait. But now it's enough, to see his newest nakama's smile.
