He kept his strokes slow and even. He was the only one in the room and there was no need to hurry, no one to have to divide his attention to. This was his time and he didn't have to share with anyone.

The air was thick with concentration and moisture beaded across his skin as he effortlessly created longing with his hands. It was perfect, every slick slide creating a harmony within himself.

Completion was almost upon him when a slight breeze caressed the back of his neck, lifting his hair and sending a shiver across his skin. Warm arms wrapped themselves around him…twice. When the hell had Luffy learnt to sneak around?

Hands ran down the front of his overalls and caught his hands up, effectively immobilising him. Warm breath was gusted over his ear and he could feel his captain's huge smile against his cheek.

"I wanna help."

Hands moved and Usopp's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. No, oh no...

"Luffy, don-"

His cry was cut off as hands moved erratically over his. His stomach jumped and all the blood drained from his face. Not more than a moment later, Luffy let go of him and bounded out the door laughing.

Usopp stared forlornly at the image before him, crimson streaks where there shouldn't be any, his art no longer a masterpiece.
