Tangerines and Slingshots
AN: I own nothing in this story. Please R&R.
Nami was furious. Her boyfriend of two weeks was missing. She had looked over most of the Merry Go and hadn't found him. Then she glanced up and saw that thick curly hair she loved so much. Why hadn't she checked on the crow's nest in the first place? Swearing to herself to beat the ship's resident sniper silly, the navigator started climbing. Usopp was engrossed in a drawing and was dead to the world that is until she came up and whacked him over the head.
"Hey what did you do that for?"
"Let me list the ways: You kept me up until 4:00 AM with your snoring, left without even letting me know, and then led me on a wild goose chase." She finished her tirade with a growl in her voice. Usopp just smiled at her.
"But you still love me, right?" Nami sighed. She could never stay mad at him for long.
"What are you drawing?"
"I've taken a liking to angels now, do you want to see?" Nami nodded and Usopp handed her his sketch. It showed Nami dressed in white with angel wings sprouting from her shoulders. A tangerine grove was growing behind her and she was half in its shadow. A blush formed on her cheeks and Usopp's eyes sparkled.
"It's okay I guess." Usopp came closer to her and hugged her softly. Just before their lips met he whispered a single word.
"Liar."
