Card
Pairing: LuffyxZoro

Usopp was busy in his workplace. Brushes, oil paints, and canvas boards sprawled all around the sniper. He was planning to paint the most largest and also the most extravagant Valentine card for Kaya-and he planned to pay a heap load of tips for the delivery birds. The door opened before Usopp could dip the brush into the pink pigment.

"Hey Luffy."

"Hey Usopp," Luffy scanned around, "What are you doing?"

"I'm making a Valentine card for Kaya. Do you remember her?"

"Yeah, she's the one who gave us Merry-" There was a minute of silence between the captain and sniper as reminiscence of the Merry Go filled their minds. Luffy recovered first and pulled up a grin, "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Can I borrow some stuff?"

"Sure?" Usopp stared as Luffy rummaged through the collection of crafts. The glitter in Luffy's eyes told the long nose that the captain found what he was looking for.

Luffy brought out a pair of scissors and a gigantic red construction paper. "Can I borrow the scissors? I can't give you back the paper because I'm going to cut it up."

"Yeah yeah, you can." Luffy gathered the items and then approached Usopp's workplace. He held them out to the sniper. By now, Usopp had placed his brush down, "Hm?"

Luffy snickered, "Can you teach me how to cut hearts?"

"Hearts?" For Usopp, creating cut-out hearts was a piece of cake, but this was Luffy. The sniper nodded and took the scissors, "Okay. Watch." Luffy observed as Usopp folded the paper in half and snipped out a shape almost resembled half of a flower petal. He unfolded it revealing a perfect heart.

Luffy awed, "I think I can do that." The first two turned into circles, but after Usopp demonstrated again, Luffy was able to cut out perfect hearts also. After getting the hang of it, Luffy made different sizes. He also 'borrowed' a pink construction paper and cut out more hearts. When he was finished, he collected all of the mini hearts into one basket, he yet again borrowed from the sniper.

Luffy put the basket on the top of his head, "Thanks Usopp!"

"You're welcome." Usopp waved as Luffy dashed out. The sniper cracked his knuckles and lifted his brush, "Now, peace."

-.-.-

Luffy hid the basket behind his back while he searched the ship. The man had a perfect daily schedule, so depending on the hour, he would be at the designated place. Of course, Luffy knew where he was even on the new ship. The captain raised his head toward the sky. The sun was high up in the clear blue sky and there was no wind. The weather was on his side.

-.-.-

Zoro placed the weights onto the floor. He reached for a towel, wiped his face and chest, and then discarded it over the dumbbells so he could use it again later. He snapped the swords onto his haramaki and then pulled a crisp clean shirt over his head. He glanced behind to see what the weather was like. Bright sun, no clouds, no wind; it was a perfect time to take a nap (although the swordsman was oblivious to the fact that he could sleep through a storm).

He leaped down to the lawn and then sat down. Out of all of the places he took naps, the lawn was his second favorite (the men's dormitory was first). It reminded him of the early years when he was just a pirate hunter and had to rest under the tree branches. It also reminded of the earlier years when he took naps after hours of grueling training and was woken up by his old friend.

He pulled his arms over his head and laid on his back. The grass was tickling his bare arms and neck, but it was comforting. He stared absentmindedly at the clouds before he drifted off to sleep.

His nap only lasted a few seconds as he was tickled awake by something, and it wasn't the grass this time. Fluttering over his skin, butterflies were the first thing that came to mind-but butterflies in the middle of the ocean? Zoro opened one of his eyes and blinked. He really thought he saw a bunch of red and pink butterflies.

The swordsman sat up so he could see what interrupted his nap. Zoro was covered in red and pink paper from head to toe. He picked one, and unfolded the piece of paper, "A...heart?" He noticed that all of the hearts had words on them and he read each and every one of them. The swordsman grinned and when he had read the last one, he lifted his head up toward the main mast. He smiled a warm smile, "Thanks Luffy."

He heard laughter and soon after that, the captain landed right in front of the first mate. Luffy bend his body to give a quick kiss in the swordsman's lips. Luffy drew back and flopped down next to Zoro. He scooped up a handful of hearts and sprinkled them onto the swordsman.

Luffy beamed, "Happy Valentine's Day Zoro!"

"Thanks," Zoro leaned in to kiss him, "Happy Valentine's day to you, too."

The End
