My first short story! And it's PT SanUso! Most of my stories will be some sort of Usopp inclusive thing and short (long stories take time). My blanket warning for character ownership is on my profile~
"Hey, Sanji." Sanji turned around to see Usopp walking past him, a smile on his face. "H-hey." Sanji replied, quickly looking back to Luffy's fishing attempts to hide the faint blush creeping up his face. For the past few weeks Sanji had noticed a strange pull in his chest and gut whenever he saw Usopp, which was weird because he usually only felt like that around women. When he had asked Chopper about it, Chopper had no idea what was wrong either.
After an early dinner, everyone was lounging about the upper deck, just mingling and relaxing. Almost everybody, that is. "Hey, Luffy, where's Usopp?" Sanji called, interrupting Luffy from whatever he was laughing about with Brook. "Oh, he said it was kind of hot out here so he's staying inside." "Ah, okay." Sanji replied, returning to the kitchen to work on the pirate lunchboxes for the next day.
After fiddling around with the food for a few more minutes, Sanji felt nature calling and walked through the Sunny towards the bathroom.
When he neared the bathroom, he wondered where Usopp was. "Why do I care?" Sanji thought to himself, shaking his head to clear his thoughts.
As he was about to turn the door knob, he heard a noise from within the bathroom.
"Hmmm, Usopp must be in there." Sanji contemplated for a few moments wether or not he should just leave, but decided to knock instead. "Oi, Usopp, are you in there?" he called as he knocked on the sturdy Adam wood door. "Yeah, come on in." Usopp replied.
Upon opening the door, a wave of steam and heat hit Sanji. As the steam cleared, it was evident that Usopp had been taking a shower by his still damp curls he was drying with a towel. "Err...I, uh..." Sanji faltered, the strange pull in his gut and chest stronger than ever as he glanced at Usopp's glistening chest. "You needed to use the bathroom, right?" Usopp asked, giving up on drying his hair and hanging the towel back on the rack. "Y-yeah." Sanji stammered.
As Sanji stepped further into the bathroom, he noticed that with his hair damp from the shower and towel around his waist, Usopp looked..."No, no, NO!" Sanji cursed to himself. "What am I thinking?" "Well, see you." Usopp said as he walked past, grabbing his clothes from where he had left them on the floor.
Suddenly, Sanji reached out and grabbed his shoulder.
"Wait!" Sanji called. Just as suddenly, he retracted his hand and inspected it. "What is it?" Usopp inquired, snapping Sanji's attention back. "Uh, nothing. Never mind." he replied. "Okay, then." Usopp exited the bathroom, shutting the door as he left. When he was sure that he was gone, Sanji stared at his hand again.
Had he imagined that electric current?
I think this is my favorite story because the imagery at the end reminds me of a collab I did... :P
