And after telling my boyfriend I planned on bringing the story rating up, he said "the second one will DEFINITELY bring it up to M." LOL I love him; He's such a great boyfriend and beta.

Usopp wasn't expecting Sanji to run into his workshop unannounced, and under normal circumstances he would either scold the cook for charging in without warning or find himself lip locked in the blink of an eye. This time, however, was different. There were tears in Sanji's visible eye, the sight of them made Usopp's heart skip a beat. "What's wrong Sanji?" he asked, putting down the pencil in his hand.

The older man made some sort of choked noise and threw himself at Usopp, smashing his face against Usopp's torso and pushing himself between his knees. "It's horrible! Usopp, that shitty mosshead is using out room with Luffy!" he cried.

"Eh? What are you talking about?" Usopp asked.

"Luffy and Zoro! Are having sex! In our room!" Sanji shouted, emphasizing his words with little sobs.

Usopp stared for a moment then sighed, letting his hands ret on Sanji's shoulders. "Luffy told me he was gonna be busy with Zoro for a while. He didn't say where," he said.

Sanji jerked back, a cross of fear and shock mixing in his eye. "You knew about this?" he asked.

"I didn't know everything!" Usopp said. "Besides, we don't have a "room" of our own, so they can't really be causing any problems."

"Don't tell me- What about the storage room behind the bunks?" Sanji asked. "We've used that room every time we-"

"That doesn't make it our room, idiot!" Usopp blushed, smacking Sanji upside the head.

The cook pulled back, dragging Usopp with him as he stood. "You don't understand; We gotta chase them out of our room. I'll never be able to use it again knowing that idiot is screwing our captain in it!"

"Hey, wait, wait! You're not taking me up there!" Usopp exclaimed as Sanji pulled him up the stairs. "I don't wanna hear them! I don't want to chase them out!"

Sanji ignored the sniper's protests and resisted the urge to lift him off the ground. They moved quickly, avoiding the rest of the crew as they approached the men's cabin. Usopp made one last minute ditch effort, only to be thwarted by Sanji and shoved into the room. Sanji walked in after him and closed the door.

The noises they were hearing were faint but traceable to the right side of the room. Usopp blushed as Sanji tugged on his arm and guided him into pressing his ear against the door. "What am I listening fo-" Usopp asked, only to be interrupted by a low, throaty moan. He pulled back instantly, his cheeks burning as the noises continued.

"Ahn, Lu-Luffy!"

"Shishi, Zoro's still really sensitive!"

Usopp looked at Sanji and realized he was watching him, his face an equal shade of red. "Wh-What are we supposed to do? Wait for them to finish?" he demanded.

Sanji pressed his finger to the sniper's lips, hissing at Usopp to keep his voice down. "I have a plan. Promise me you'll go through with it," he whispered.

His words were hardly audible over Zoro's moans, but Usopp gulped and let his head bob up and down. Sanji grinned, leaning in and replacing his finger with his lips. The surprise kiss made Usopp lose his footing, the two stumbling back and slamming against the door.

The noises on the other side suddenly stopped. "What was that?" Zoro's voice asked.

"I think someone's out there," Luffy said.

"No shit, dumbass! Go get rid of them, or make sure they're gone!"

"Ehh? But Zoro, I'm still-"

"Just go look for a second. I can wait."

There was a smart remark about "Zoro getting too excited" before the door opened. Luffy craned his neck to look outside, and after glancing both ways twice, his head disappeared in the storage room again. "Nothing! There's no one out there!" he exclaimed.

"Must've scared them off," Zoro muttered.

"Maybe Zoro heard something!"

The noises in the storage room continued. From one of the box hammocks, Usopp and Sanji sighed in relief, thankful Luffy hadn't caught them. "Let's get out of there before they finish!" Usopp whispered sharply.

Sanji pulled him closer, rolling Usopp onto his back and crawling over his body as the sharpshooter questioned him. "Wait a minute. Remember my plan?" he asked, his voice low and, once again, covered by the noises from the storage room.

Usopp instantly went pale, trying to escape despite being literally boxed in. "No! Nonono! We aren't having sex with Zoro and Luffy in the other room!" he said.

"Sorry Usopp, but you promised."

"Hell no! No way I-I-Mmf!"

Usopp coved his mouth as Sanji started kissing him and tore open the straps to his overalls. The cook wasted no time diving in and nipping at Usopp's skin, making the younger man moan. There was one spot on Usopp's neck that made him scream, if Sanji could just find it. He left bruises and tender bite marks all over Usopp's neck and shoulders as he searched, pulling on Usopp's arm to make him let go of his mouth. When he licked a patch of skin just under Usopp's ear, the sniper cried out and wiggled underneath him.

"Ah! Sanji!"

"Louder, Usopp! Can't hear you over Zoro!"

"Oh, oh!"

"C'mon, higher!"

"Sh-shut up-ahn!"

"Quick, they're catching on!"

"Nami! Nami!"

The red haired navigator turned towards the Observation Room as Chopper and Franky came running towards her. "What's wrong? Why are you two blushing?" she asked.

"There's wave after wave of noises coming from the men's cabin! The whole room is flooded with them!" Chopper exclaimed. "It sounds like Zoro and Usopp are having a screaming match!"

"A really good, eh… enjoyable screaming match," Franky said under his breath. "I think Luffy-bro and Sanji-bro are the cause."

"WHAT? Nami exclaimed, storming off to the men's cabin as Robin started laughing. "I'm going to kill them all!"

"Shall I give the boys fair warning?" Robin asked, crossing her arms over her chest and closing her eyes. She paused for a moment before chuckling under her breath. "Oh my, it's hard to decide a winner."

"W-Winner?" Chopper asked.

"Ow, that's really dirty, Robin!" Franky exclaimed.

"But it's true. Usopp is loud, but Luffy must be doing something right to get those kinds of noises out of Zoro."

"I… I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that."
