Noticed
"Your nose is really long," Usopp sure looked weird with that nose.
"Umm, hehe..." The sniper didn't really know what to say. Luffyko just realized his nose looked the weird? It's been over two years since they met back at Syrup Village.
This is what she chose to say to him? No compliment on his now manly physique? None on his manly face? Just his stupid nose that hadn't changed one bit? Not even when he was round, his nose stayed the same.
For the first time in his life Usopp felt jealousy to his nose, which was ridiculous since it was just a part of him.
"Is something wrong?"
"Ehh, no captain."
"Really, because you look like you're going to cry."
Luffyko was way more observant than she used to be. She was prettier too, not that he thought she was ugly before. She was just more... Womanly. This was his way of saying he noticed the way her chest was bigger than before, her hips were wider, her features softer.
He had a crush on her from before, he only realized it after she beat him on Water 7. He was on the ground crying about the Merry, he was crying about Luffyko, how she would never like him again after what he pulled.
He realized he was leaning closer to her, his head was tilted to the side. He was a coward though, if only he could push himself a little further.
Neither Luffyko or Usopp noticed the third person on the deck. Robin had been watching the two in front of her for quite some time under the guise of reading one of her favorite novels. She noticed the way the crew's sniper got flustered around their cute captain. The boy had some confidence issues though, she smiled as she watched him edge closer and closer to the rubber girl.
He just needed a hand. Thats why Robin decided to lend hers, using the Hana Hana no Mi, she made two copies of her arms, one behind her captain and one behind the sniper. She gently laid her hands on both their backs and pressed them towards each other.
Usopp was confused, he was leaning forward even more, he felt the touch on his back but he was sure no one was behind him.
They were just centimeters apart now.
It was a soft touch against his mouth. This was his first kiss, he didn't know what to do. Should he put his arms around her, or hold her hands, or something? Anything?
He didn't have to do anything though, it was Luffyko that put her arms around his neck. He was pushed down onto the grass.
Usopp closed his eyes, he wrapped his arms around her waist. Finally he could say that, while he wasn't as strong as her (or Zoro and Sanji, or really anyone), he was bigger than her. Which really meant nothing because she could probably kill him in a punch, but he remembered a time when he was so depressingly scrawny...
They stopped kissing, she was on top of him.
"Usopp! You have muscles now!"
She just noticed? He walked around shirtless!
