Mwuahahahaha! This is for you Rin-chan! I'm sorry but Serious and UsoLu is just too hard for this lil weirdo to write XD
Happily Ever After
"They look nice"
"Mhm"
"I like the blue one"
"Aa"
Nami was in the store across the mall, Sanji and Zoro in tow. Sanji, because he was a lovesick fool. Zoro, because Sanji made him.
Chopper had gotten lost along the way and they'd left Robin long ago in a bookstore. They'd catch up later. Someday.
Usopp looked at the shiny finger ornaments (love that phrase. "finger ornaments" XD) and stuck out his tongue at the price.
Luffy had his face pressed against the glass, wanting the closest close-up he could get of the rings. "They look very pretty"
Usopp nodded again, deep in thought. It's so expensive. I'd borrow money from Nami but her interest is ten times the money I'd be borrowing…
"Nami would love this kinda stuff" Luffy whispered. Yeah…then she'd pawn it.
"Sanji has a ring yanno. He keeps it in his pocket and I see him look at Nami sometimes while holding it." Then he looked up at Usopp and looked confused. "But sometimes… I see him looking at Zoro too"
Usopp raised his eyebrows, drawn from his musings. "Interesting…" He muttered. Who would have thought?
"I'd never be able to wear a ring like that on my finger."
The sniper blinked and looked down at Luffy who had his face pressed to the glass again. "We fight too much for me to wear a ring. It'd get dirty and bloody"
Ah…So getting him a ring would be pointless…
"But…" And he looked up at Usopp, his eyes staring deeply at his friend.
"I'd put it on something. Not like how Sanji keeps his in his pocket but…Maybe on my hat? The string on my hat! Yeah…I'd have it with me all the time and it'd never get lost."
Kinda weird… but that's Luffy for you…
"Ne…Usoppu, which ring do you like best?" Luffy asked quietly. ( sorry. I love Usoppu. It's the kyutest way of saying his name and when Chopper says it? I melt XD )
The boy shrugged. "I don't really think about jewelry much. Any ring is ok I guess… wait no. I don't like those over decorated rings. Too flashy and it'd weigh down my hand."
He loomed over the glass and the first ring he saw happened to be a good example. A silver band with a rose etched on it. "That one. But of course I'd get another design. I'm too manly for roses!"
Luffy was quiet for a long time, breathing softly. It was almost maddening. Seeing Luffy this quiet and still. Then the boy lit up whispering furiously.
"Ano saa! Usoppu! Look look!"
And he jabbed his finger at the display case.
"The ones by the blue diamond ring thing! Those two!"
And Usopp looked at them for a long time. Both were gold. An engraved Ivy vine decorated both of them. Simple, non flashy.
"Those look nice." Luffy looked up at him again, giving him that deep soul searching stare.
"Luffy! Usopp! Get your asses OVER here!"
Usopp jumped and Luffy looked over at Nami who had Sanji and Zoro following her, carrying a gazillion bags. Robin had Chopper behind her, holding her hand. "Lost…lost…" he muttered. Robin patted his head. "It's alright now"
Luffy jumped up. "Yosha! Let's go!"
Usopp stayed behind. Looking at the twin rings for a little while, then he finally joined his friends.
He took a deep breath and took Nami aside.
"Nami…I need to ask you for a favor…"
