hi there. did you miss me? here's an update. not my best. but it's here. cool
"He's doing it again."
Nami blinked, looking up from peeling her tangerine and at Usopp, sitting next to her on the bench. "Who's doing what again?" She asked.
Usopp nodded at Luffy, who was humming happily to himself, kicking his feet in the air from his laying-down spot on the grass. In his hands, his cellphone. He was typing quickly, grinning all the while.
"Ohhh." Nami realized. "He's texting that weirdo, right?"
"The weirdo he insists isn't one. He still hasn't even asked for the guy's name." Usopp shook his head sadly, taking a bite out of the sandwich he had packed on their little outing.
It was a weekend, thank god, and Usopp had decided some well needed fresh-air chill time was called for, so they all conglomerated at the park for lunch. So here they all sat, and Luffy was on his phone in seconds when it had vibrated in his bag.
"What's he even trying to get out of this, anyway?" Nami wondered, watching Luffy scroll through some apps as he waited for a reply from the texting-guy.
"A good laugh?" Usopp offered, watching as Luffy did happen to snicker at something the texting-guy said when he replied.
"Hey, why're you guys whispering about me behind my head?" Luffy wondered, looking up at the two of them. "I'm not deaf!" He put down his phone and pouted. He had already eaten his lunch, Nami and Usopp were slow at eating, and it wasn't his fault that he had nothing better to do than to text the random number!
"Because you're ignoring us!" Usopp pointed out, and Nami looked at the phone resting on Luffy's chest before getting an idea.
Leaning down, taking one of her tangerine slices, she dangled it over Luffy's face with the offer for him to have some. Luffy, overtaken by the offer of food, quickly snatched it as Nami used her other hand to snatch his phone.
"Wh—Hey, hold on, That's mine!" Luffy complained, the deliciousness of the tangerine betraying his thought of how having his phone taken wasn't worth it. (It was worth it.)
"Let's just see what you and this stranger are texting, hmm?" Nami trilled, clicking on the messages icon.
(1:39 P.M)
Hey. I'm bored as shit. Roomate's gone doing random ass stuff for this restaurant he works at. Entertain me.
(1:39 P.M)
I don't like being told what to do! :o I like doing things my own way!
(1:40 P.M)
It was just an idea.
(1:40 P.M)
Hmm…If you do want entertainment though, how about a question! What's your favorite food?
(1:40 P.M)
…Rice, I guess? Booze. Booze and rice.
(1:41 P.M)
You're boring.
(1:41 P.M)
What, like yours is better?
(1:42 P.M)
MEAT IS THE BEST!
(1:42 P.M)
That's pretty boring too, you know.
(1:43 P.M)
That hurts :( Nothing is better than meat!
(1:44 P.M)
You'll live.
"Is this all the stuff you guys talk about?" Nami deadpanned, bored. She wanted something interesting.
"Scroll down some more?" Usopp suggested.
(2:00 P.M.)
What do you mean you're flexible?
(2:00 P.M.)
I can put my legs behind my head! And other things.
(2:01 P.M.)
What the hell? You some kind of freak?
(2:01 P.M.)
No! Just bendy.
What kind of cool stuff can you do?
(2:02 P.M.)
I fight with swords.
(2:03 P.M.)
REAL ONES?
(2:03 P.M.)
Yes, they're real.
I can also play piano. On a good day.
(2:03 P.M.)
THAT'S SO COOL!
What kind of songs do you know on piano! I can sing! What kind of sword tricks do you do? Can you SWALLOW A SWORD?
(2:04 P.M.)
Uhh…
A lot of songs, that's cool, and I can fight with them so they're not really tricks. And I don't think I wanna try that.
Luffy snatched back his phone, plopping back down in the grass. "Don't take my phone without asking!"
"Wait, hold on, 3…2….1…" Usopp grinned, just as Luffy's phone vibrated. Luffy immediately opened the app, not wasting any time to reply.
Nami sighed.
What the hell were they gonna do about this?
