Nightmares
"How is he?" Luffy asked Chopper as he slipped into the sick bay, eyes roving over Usopp's slumbering form.
Usopp's eyebrows knitted together as he mumbled incoherently in his sleep, his hands fisting into the white sheets. The heart rate monitor beeped in warning, and Chopper sighed heavily before pressing the button to quiet it. "The nightmares are taking their toll on him. He's exhausted. He said he wanted to sleep here so he didn't wake us up anymore." Chopper frowned at Usopp, "I tried a mild sedative to help calm him, but it doesn't seem to be working."
"Hmm," Luffy studied Usopp for a few moments more before turning to Chopper, who was hiding a yawn behind his hoof. "Go to sleep. I've got him."
"Are you sure? You need to sleep too." Chopper said, "He's been keeping you up the most."
"I'll be fine. I slept a bit before dinner." Luffy said with a wave of his hand.
Chopper hid another yawn and nodded his thanks. "I'll see you in the morning."
"Night, Chopper." Luffy waited until the door to the Sick Bay clicked shut before he went to sit on the edge of the bed by Usopp's hips. He slipped off his sandals and pushed lightly at Usopp until he moved towards the wall and left some room for Luffy.
Luffy laid back against the pillow and reached over to pull Usopp towards him. The boy immediately pressed into Luffy's side, his head in the crook of his neck, leg thrown over his and an arm around his stomach.
Luffy wrapped an arm around Usopp's back and settled in, eyes closing as he pressed his face into the crown of Usopp's head. Usopp's hair was down, flowing out behind him and covering the pillow and bed with silky strands. Luffy reached up and pressed his fingers to Usopp's scalp, rubbing circles into it. He smiled as Usopp snuggled deeper into him, a soft sigh leaving his lips.
Luffy soon fell asleep, both he and Usopp content in the warmth that surrounded him, but unfortunately, it didn't last too long and an hour or so later saw Luffy waking up.
Luffy's face scrunched up as he shifted under the weight on top of him, face pressed into Usopp's curls. He had just washed his hair that day, so gone was the scent of gunpowder and other chemicals that marred his scent, and in their place was argan oil and coconut with a slight odour of salt air and light sweat.
Vaguely, Luffy wondered what woke him and tried to shift to get his bearings, but Usopp was pressed against him, warm, cosy. Usopp's arm was across his chest, a hand fisted into the fabric under Luffy's collarbone. His mouth pressed against Luffy's neck, breath coming out in hot puffs against his skin. When Luffy tried to shift again, he realised that Usopp's leg was between his, the fabric of his clothes rubbing against Luffy's bare skin with the movement.
"'Sopp," Luffy whispered voice heavy with sleep. He rubbed an arm down Usopp's back, "Move a bit."
"Luffy," Usopp whispered back, rubbing his cheek on Luffy's shirt. Luffy rolled his eyes when Usopp slid impossibly closer, his fingers twisting into the cloth of his shirt while his leg curled tighter around Luffy's.
Luffy took a deep breath and pushed up his hips to shift them towards the middle of the bed. If they were going to sleep that way, there was no reason why he had to be lying half off. He had managed to move them an inch before Usopp, still fast asleep, snuggled up to him again.
Luffy froze at the feel of Usopp's erection pressed firmly against his hip. At least, he thought it was an erection. He didn't think it likely that Usopp went to bed with a screwdriver in his pocket. Not after what happened the last time, at any rate.
"Usopp," Luffy hissed. "Usopp, you need to—"
Usopp made a soft, contented sound, the kind of which Luffy had never heard from him before. Luffy's eyebrows knitted together as he stared down at Usopp's face. Soft pants of pleasure followed the sound.
It then occurred to Luffy that Usopp had said his name.
His name.
"Usopp?" he said softly, shaking his shoulder a bit to try and see if he would respond.
"Luffy," Usopp replied, the word slurred but unmistakable.
Luffy grimaced and shifted his hips, hissing when Usopp's erection pressed against his. He wouldn't deny he was aroused. His best friend was rubbing against him and saying his name. Love and sex might not be the first thing on his mind, maybe not even the tenth, but he still enjoyed the feeling of having someone pressed around him and the experience of pleasure running across his body in pleasant shivers.
Luffy couldn't keep the gasp that left his lips when Usopp had shifted high enough so that all that lay between his cock and Luffy's skin was one damp layer of cloth. Luffy screwed his eyes shut and breathed through his mouth, cursing himself for savouring the swooping feeling in his stomach at each thrust of Usopp's hips had his cock rubbing hot against him, the wetness leaking through the cloth to glide across his skin.
Usopp was outright panting against Luffy's neck now. The soft hitching sounds echoed in the quiet room, making Luffy grateful that Usopp had moved to the Sick Bay to sleep for the evening. Usopp would already be embarrassed enough when he woke. Luffy didn't even want to know what the poor sniper would feel if it happened in front of most of the crew.
Luffy hissed when Usopp moved his leg again, the solid weight of his thigh coming in contact with Luffy's own erection. Luffy threw his head back, fingers twisting in his hair as he bucked up into the pressure, a shaky moan leaving him.
Usopp started to move his hips in earnest, the catch and drag of their skin and the movement of the momentum enough to invite Luffy's body to move with his.
Luffy's head became pleasantly fuzzy as he wrapped his arms around Usopp and tangled his legs with Usopp's as his hips moved of their own accord, encouraged by the sounds Usopp was making, his own joining the cacophony.
In their movements, Usopp's boxers had slipped down, the weeping head of his cock peeking out and pressed naked and hot against Luffy's stomach, Usopp's sharp thrusts trailing dampness over Luffy's waist and abdomen.
"Oh, god, Usopp," Luffy hissed, arms tightening around Usopp's body to keep him close.
Luffy's eyebrows knitted together in confusion when he felt the shift in Usopp's rhythm. He was still pressing against Luffy's body desperately, but the movement was stuttered and awkward, lacking their previous flowing movement. Finally, Luffy opened his eyes, and sure enough, Usopp's eyes were wide open, his expression a mixture of shock and guarded.
"Luffy, I—" Usopp sounded so humiliated that Luffy had no choice but to roll him over and press a kiss to his mouth.
A kiss that deepened into something wet and desperate. Usopp's mouth tasted the dessert they had for dinner, and Luffy licked in deeper, moaning at the taste. Usopp shivered in his hold, dragged his long, thin fingers into Luffy's hair, and pulled at the strands. He gasped, one hand sliding down to twist into Luffy's vest as Luffy reached down and pushed their boxers out of the way.
Usopp made a desperate sound in his throat, the vibration reverberating in Luffy's mouth as he came wet and messy against Luffy's abdomen. Luffy pulled away from Usopp's mouth and pressed his face into his neck as Usopp breathed through his orgasm, whimpers leaving his throat as his body shook through the sensations flooding his body.
Luffy nuzzled into Usopp's neck, his nose brushing against his jaw as the body beneath him slowly relaxed in his hold.
He stiffened at the feel of Usopp's fingers ghosting down his body before tentatively touching his erection. Luffy leaned back to study Usopp's face and couldn't help but smile at the contentment that shone back at him. Luffy's eyes fluttered, and he moaned, leaning his forehead against Usopp's shoulder as Usopp curled his talented fingers around Luffy and started pumping firmly.
"Look at me," Usopp whispered against the top of Luffy's head. Luffy's eyes met his, and his hips firmly met Usopp's hand, pressing and pulling against the pressure Usopp applied. It didn't take long for Luffy's brain to blank with the pleasure of it as he drowned in the dark intensity of Usopp's eyes.
Usopp, ever the observer, seemed to be categorising every sound and movement Luffy made as his orgasm raced through him.
Luffy breathed heavily, snuggling his face into Usopp's neck, his head pillowed by Usopp's hair as he shakily collapsed on him. He relaxed as Usopp ran his hands over Luffy's back under the damp fabric of his red vest, drawing random figures against his skin.
"I'm sorry for being such a burden," Usopp said quietly into Luffy's hair.
Luffy's fists tightened, and he scowled against Usopp's collarbone. "Just go to sleep, Usopp."
"You're mad," Usopp stated. "I'm sorry that I—"
"I'm mad that you still think you are a burden. How can you still think that?"
Usopp took a deep breath, "I just get so tired sometimes. I try so hard and… well, it isn't enough, is it?" Usopp's fingers pressed deeper into Luffy's back, his blunt nails biting into Luffy's skin. "I can't even keep those damn nightmares to myself." He said bitterly.
Luffy huffed and flopped down onto his back, pulling the shocked sniper into his arms. "You're my best friend. You give great cuddles and orgasms. You are an amazing sniper and a good friend. You are not a burden, and I love you. We all do. Now go to sleep."
Luffy threw his arm over his eyes and pressed Usopp closer to him until he relaxed his head against Luffy's chest.
"I love you too," Usopp whispered into his chest before closing his eyes.
He didn't have another nightmare that evening.
