Fireworks and Kisses, rated G
"SO COOL!" Luffy pumped his arms excitedly in the air as another of Usopp's pyrotechnic amusements burst in a flash of color high above the Going Merry. The crew watched from their perches on the aft deck as the marksman set off his homemade fireworks into the night sky, smiles on every face while the light from the multicolored sparks washed their skin in incredible colors.
A little ways from the main group, Robin stood next to Zoro, her head pillowed against his shoulder. The arm wrapped possessively around her waist held her tightly to him as they watched the display, close enough to smell his warm, musky scent. "Having fun?" Robin murmured.
Zoro grunted and turned his head to place a kiss against her soft black hair. "'s ok."
A much closer explosion drew their eyes to Usopp, who'd managed to set his pant leg on fire and beat at it frantically. Chopper ran in distraught circles around him, screeching as tears poured down his face. Luffy merely laughed.
"Should we help him?"
The swordsman shook his head. "He's always got something blowing up in his face. 'sides," he gestured towards the younger boys, "Luffy won't let him die."
Sure enough, their rubber captain grabbed a hold of the back of Usopp's overalls and tossed the wailing marksman overboard. Much shouting and cuffing followed as a rather displeased Nami let Luffy know exactly what she thought of his decision. Sanji hovered helpfully in the background, crooning something about how cute she was when she got angry, and received his own set of thumpings as well.
Robin let out a low chuckle. "I guess not." She nuzzled Zoro's cheek, feeling the prickle of faint stubble against her skin. "Swordsman-san?"
"Hm?"
Instead of answering, Robin traced his lips with her fingers before leaning in to seal her mouth over his own. Broad hands pulled her around and pressed the archaeologist firmly against his chest as Zoro returned the kiss, slow and deep.
They didn't notice Usopp climb back over the railing, soaking wet and pissed. Didn't see Luffy swinging from the rigging as he laughingly eluded his angry marksman. Didn't discern the rest of their crew in stitches at the liar's and captain's ridiculous behavior, completely oblivious to the two lovers. At least not until Luffy's eternally deficient aim (well, at least when not involved in a deadly battle or in regards to food) put him on a collision course with the couple, knocking all three of them into a jumbled heap.
Robin watched from where she had landed in amusement as Zoro joined a dripping Usopp in his chase of their hysterical rubber captain, shouting vague threats that fell on heedless ears. Who could have known that something as simple as setting off a few fireworks could be this much fun?
