A short UsoNa PT story. (Yay, fluff!)


"Chopper..." Usopp called weakly from the bed in the sick bay. "Chopper..."

Usopp had caught some sort of rare strain a few days back, and Chopper had been tearing through all of his medical books to find a cure.

"Chopper went to go get some more medical books again," said a voice from the left of the bed, causing Usopp to turn.

"Chopper...?" Usopp asked feebly. "No, it's me, Nami." Nami replied, gently pushing Usopp back down as he attempted to sit up. "Now lie down or Chopper will get mad at me." "Nami? She's nice." Usopp said dreamily, coughing as he stared blankly at the ceiling.

"Hoo, boy." Nami thought to herself as she placed a heating pad on his forehead. "He's delirious..." Usopp sniffed and turned towards Nami again. "Such an interesting girl... You know, I think I like her." Usopp said matter-of-factly as he pulled his covers up a tad more.

"What...what do you mean?" Nami asked, her heartbeat pulsing in her ears. "She's just so..." Usopp grinned as he mulled over his thoughts. "Ah, don't tell her any of this, Chopper. I'm not sure if she likes me back..." "I...I won't." Nami replied, positively beaming through her now red face.

Suddenly, Usopp shook his head a little, as if clearing his thoughts. "...Nami?" he coughed, startling her. "You came to see me? But where's Chopper?" "Don't worry, he'll be back soon." Nami assured him, glad that his senses were back. "In fact, I think I hear him now." Indeed, the sound of Chopper's hooves could be heard coming closer.

"Well, I'll just be-"Nami started to say as she got up, but suddenly Usopp grabbed her arm. "Thanks for worrying..." he said, pulling her into a hug, and, to Nami's surprise, kissed her on the cheek.

As he settled back down on the bed, Nami, blushing furiously, quickly exited the room. As she rushed past Chopper, his arms laden with more medical books, he paused and looked curiously at her retreating figure. Shrugging, he entered the room and closed the door.

A few days later, when Usopp was better, he didn't remember anything that he had done, but whenever Nami would catch him staring at her, she would remember and smile to herself.
