Scurvy

part 2

                 Saying usopp was anxious was an understatement. She was sitting in the same place for a bit thinking of the events that just unfolded 'does he hate me now?' She questioned "hey! usopp come on your it!" Luffy ran past her, she got up and smiled "do you really think you can out run me? the great usopp!" She gave a smug laugh running after chopper.
             After playing tag they all laid in the grass as the noon slowly went to evening "that was a great game!" Chopper smiled as he panted from running. "Dinners ready!" Sanji yelled from the dinning room door. Luffy was the first up, running to the dinning room as fast as his legs could take him then chopper walked off after him. She sat up in her place about to go the same destination but froze in her tracks as she saw zoro walking past her, she watched him as he walked to the door his walk was confident and powerful two things that she knew she wasn't. As his body disappeared behind the dinning room door she stood up and slapped her cheeks 'what is wrong with me?' She sighed and walked into the dinning room after him, taking a seat in between Franky and Luffy "you okay bro?" Franky leaned over she shook her head and laughed "you think I, the fearsome captain Usopp!, isn't okay?!" She laughed putting her foot on the table accidentally stepping on Luffy's hand as it was creeping towards her plate, he let out a yelp and pulled his hand back. Dinner went as normal, everyone was talking and enjoying their food,Usopp tried to do the same but couldn't as her eyes always drifted back to Zoro, she studied him as he ate but she was snatched back to reality when he would look up every so often. "Usopp it's your turn to do night watch" Nami ate, Usopp picked up her plate going to the kitchen only to be stopped by Nami again "when was the last time you took a shower usopp?" she looked her up and down holding her nose "Uhh I don't know? maybe 4 days ago?" she estimated "look at all the dirt and oil on you, I want you to take one after dinner, so when I wake up tommorow You better not smell like engine oil and mud". Nami always tolerated Usopp and her annoying tendencies, but Usopp did believe they had a weird bond and that they were actually pretty close. "Okay." she took her dishes to sink and went to Franky talking about the things they could use the extra oil that they found by the engine for. Not really noticing that everyone has already left for bed Franky and Usopp finished their conversation as she realized that she needed head towards the crows nest. As she lifted herself in to the workout room/ crows nest she heard a grunt. Looking over she saw a shirtless sweating Zoro lifting a very large weight hearing a faint voice "8,953" he counted. Z-zoro?" she stutters, he looked up and sighed "8,954, what 8,955 do you 8,956 want?" She watched as his arms flex as he lifted the heavy weight. "I-uh" she gulped "spit it 8,959 out" she flinched back a little as he glared up at her obviously annoyed to be interrupted "I was just gonna ask w-why you were up here?" she shifted while looking down, her hands starting to get clammy "Nothing now, good night" he put down his weight and picked up his shirt, and leaving a dumbstruck Usopp alone in the crows nest. She let out the breath she didn't know he was holding and swallowed air feeling her heart beat twice the normal speed. "Maybe I should go take that shower" she whispered as she re-opened the door to the crows nest. Climbing down,she went to her work room and pulled the 3rd and last pair of overalls she owned. She walked towards the bathroom, locking the door as she pulled off her dirty ,sweaty, and oil covered clothes and threw them in the dirty clothes basket. She looked it the mirror and studied her body for the millionth time . She was small standing at 5'7 but only weighing 137 pounds, her breast were tiny compared to nami and her hips weren't that wide, maybe a little wider then both robin and nami. Her mom wasn't all that well endowed either though, her waist was small and slender, and her legs were covered in scars from all the running and tripping she did as a clumsy kid. She took off her bandanna and goggles and took out the pins that kept her hair in place, her hair rolled down her back stopping at bra strap length. Her hair was considered long, but she never really cared that much to cut it off so she just used pins and her bandanna to keep it out of her face. She walked into the bathroom looking at the giant and warm bath she was about to soak in. She stepped in the bath and let out a sigh as the warm water engulfed her skinny frame. 'I should apologize to zoro for messing up his work out'.
