Pairing: uh, I swear I will write actual yaoi next time
Word Count: 300
Upon waking, Usopp felt the heaviness that sleep sometimes produced. The early morning cold chilled him to his bones and the dim light left his soul in shadow. Sitting up in bed, alone, he felt miles away from the others. He didn't like that about this new ship. He was used to being knocked out of his hammock by Luffy as he fought some dream monster, used to tripping over Zoro on his way out, used to being beaten to the bathroom by a few inches, used to distracting noise. Having a room to his own was frightening, even if the walls that separated them were thin.
He'd left them. He'd, he'd mutinied. They hadn't even mentioned it; perhaps they hadn't even considered he might really leave, that he could do without him. That was a painful thought, but not as painful as the idea that they might no longer trust him. He was a traitor as well as a weakling now.
After some sighing, he kicked back the sheets to rise and spotted the disembodied head with the lolling tongue sitting next to him.
His screams spanned the ocean and reached a pitch heard only by dogs. He raced out of his room and was soon ranting at Robin without even knowing what he was saying.
"--what were you thinking, I nearly had a heart attack, are you trying to KILL ME--?!"
In the background the others laughed, or threatened harm lest he lay a hand on darling Robin-chan, or said he must be healing well if his lungs were in such good shape, or noogied him, or pulled him by the ear to breakfast. He was immediately in a battle with Luffy over pancakes, and somehow, in the noise of it, he forgot he'd left at all.

...and I keep counting actions in the last paragraph, trying to figure out if Luffy's noogie-ing, laughing, or if the new mystery shipwright is present...

it would save the doujinshikas from adding random mystery porn rooms for sexLuffy wants separate rooms.no subject

But a fic where Luffy and Usopp are happy that Zoro is shtupping Sanji because it keeps him from noticing as they sneak around the entwined couple to steal meat would be pure <3
