Modus Operandi
disclaimer: One Piece and its characters do not belong to me. They are property of the genius that is Eiichiro Oda. Any similarity with the real world is purely coincidental. I only own a few humble OC's, the plot, the idea and this sad excuse of another AU fic.
I do not own the cat names since technically they are the property of Lamppuu over at Live Journal xD

Chapter 2: Welcome Home
Sweat trickled down Usopps' face. I'm going to live here?
He broke down and cried.
"Mew?" There was a meek crying sound from his left. Drying his tears he glanced at the sound maker and was thoughtfully surprised to see a small black and white kitten staring intently back at him.
"Ah! I see you already got acquainted with Yuffie." A loud DON came from right beside him and Usopp almost jumped out of his skin.
"Doo-do-DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!" He screeched.
"Sorry." His roomy, a girl in her 18, shrugged looking as if she was everything else then sorry.
The large pot, Usopp noted, was resting discarded beside her feat. The little black and white kitten and what appeared her partner in crime (a grey white colored kit) were keenly inspecting the shiny object.
Usopp frowned. "I thought pets weren't allowed."
The girl grinned evilly and replied: "What the landlord doesn't know…."
Great. I'll be living with a complete psycho. Usopp thought to himself while deadpanning.
"Anyways. You're my new roommate aren't you?" The girl picked the large pot up and gathered the two kittens in her arms and returned to her apartment.
"Uh..Yea…Yeah!" Usopp quickly scrambled on his feet and grabbed his two bags beside him. Most of his stuff was to arrive with the delivery service later in the afternoon.
"So..ah…I'm sure our dear landlord already explained everything to you but I'd like you to know a few rules about this apartment." She practically threw the pot on to the balcony and released the two kittens on to the floor.
"First – we do not talk about the cats. Second – we do not talk about the cats.(1) Third – wild parties and or sex orgies," (At this Usopp blushed an interesting shade of red.) "Are to be held when I am either absent, asleep, in my room or dead."
Then she picked up a set of keys and threw them at Usopp. "Your keys. Your room is next to the bathroom."
Usopp blinked bewildered and gaped. "That's all?"
At his words the girl raised her left eyebrow and chuckled dryly. "I'm not here to dictate your life you know. You're 18 buddy. Just don't do anything I wouldn't do and we'll get along fine." She then picked up one of the many discarded magazines on the coffee table and disappeared on the balcony.
Don't do anything you wouldn't do, huh? Usopp grimaced mentally and dragged his bags down the hall towards where he presumed the bathroom and his room would be.
And what if you look like you'd do drugs?
"Well I don't!" Came from the balcony and Usopp stopped dead in his tracks.
I didn't say anything-! "I didn't...!"
"Well you we're thinking it!"
Usopps' mouth opened and closed a few times. His brain working overdrive to process what just happened here. Then little 'mewings' and something soft rubbing against his bare ankles (who needs socks anyway?) reminded him that yes, he still was on Earth. Then he simply shrugged the whole mind reading thing off and blamed it on the double mocca-frappe-latte he had that morning before driving to Tokyo. (2)
Striding down the hall he noted that the apartment wasn't as run down as it appeared to be. The walls seemed to be renewed not to long ago, as Usopps' artistic eye noted.
His room was colored in plain white, which didn't bother him much. After all he had enough canvases and posters to brighten the room up. It was pretty big, with a plain bed on its right side and a desk to the left, near the exist to the balcony.
Usopp deposited his two bags next to the bed and nightstand and exhaled loudly.
He was here. Finally. He made it. Despite all the teasing, laughing and name calling ("Liar! Liar!"), he actually made it into a prestigious College. Usopp gave a loud whoop of joy.
His roomy glanced down the balcony to Usopps' room. A small smile formed on her lips.
"Welcome home."
The green haired Swordsman groaned as he once again glanced at the unconscious youth on his couch.
"What am I going to do with you now?" He wondered while absentmindedly searching his old text books for a miraculous solution. His thinking was interrupted by a loud groan.
The young man stirred. He grabbed hold on the couch's arm and raised himself into a sitting position. He blinked lazily and winced slightly at the action. Why did his head hurt so much anyway? And when did breathing become so hard? Well breathing through your nose anyway.
The youth held on to his head for a moment since apparently everything in the room was spinning. Even the funny, albeit slightly fuzzy green blob, which was getting bigger and bigger by the moment.
And why did his head still hurt? It was getting harder to breathe. Oh god he wasn't getting any air! He was going to pass out for sure!
Zoro yanked the large bandage roll out of the youth's nose.
Ah! Look! He could breath normally again! A bright smile radiated at the green haired stranger. "Thanks! Now I can breathe again! And the world stopped spinning!"
Zoro deadpanned, his roommate was indeed as stupid as he looked. Well at least he wasn't unconscious anymore.
"Ah…yeah….Whatever…Do you have a name kid?"
"Yeah. Monkey D. Luffy! Nice to meet you!" It was like his smile could light up entire Tokyo in a power outtake. How could a person be so chipper, that was a thing Zoro would never understand.
Zoros' response was barely above a grunt. "Er yeah….I found you…outside. On the ground. Unconscious. Here's your paper." He blushed faintly at the statement because to him that was the most utter and complete bull he ever said.
"Oh! Thank you!" The youth replied cheerfully before grabbing the paper that was handed to him.
Which this kid appearantley believed. Can a person be this gullible? Waving his hand in the air in a don't-mention-it matter Zoro moved to the couch.
The raven haired youth was too busy inspecting the piece of paper Zoro gave him earlier to notice this. He then turned his head to Zoro, who now moved to sit on the couch.
"Do you by any chance know where the dorm room 084 is?"
Zoro blushed crimson red remembering the earlier incident with the door. (He must have been about to knock on the door.) "You're in it." He coughed slightly.
The youth didn't seem to pay attention to Zoro's blush, that or he didn't even notice it, and opened his mouth to let a loud: "SUGOIIII! That means you're my new roommate!"
Luffy's face practically lit up in excitement, little sparks dancing around his head.
Somehow Zoro knew that this kid will be his downfall.
ending notes:
Sugoi – amazing, incredible, cool
(1) Three guesses from where I borrowed that catch phrase! XD
(2) NO. It's not going to be another mind-reader fic. XD I just find it funny is all. x3 Besides it's 50 percent humor fic so don't take it very realistic. XDDD And no I don't think the mocca-frappe-latte exists. XDD I thought it all up.
You have no idea how many times I typed Zror instead of Zoro. D: And yes I am terribly aware that the Zoro part sucks. AGAIN! DD:
Also, does fandom Japanese bother you?
