When you reached the front, Usopp was already waiting there, arms crossed with his slingshot.

"So, you ready to start the challenge?" Usopp asked.

"Hah, bring it on!" You said, half nervous and half competitively.

You started with the slingshot challenges. For shooting at something, you chose some fruit on a tree that was a fair distance away. Usopp shot first and hit it dead centre. You shot and the whole fruit fell from the tree because you hit the stem holding it there.

Round 1 goes to you.

For moving target, a flock of birds were flying around. Though it seemed mean, you still took aim at them. When you shot, one of the birds squawked and plummeted to the ground. When Usopp shot, no bird fell. He actually missed!

Round 2 goes to you.

Catching your own shot was next. At the same time, you and Usopp shot straight up into the air. You both had cups on your heads, running around like idiots when your shots came into view. Usopp successfully caught his, but you missed. Your shot bounced across the deck away from you.

Round 3 goes to Usopp.

"Hey! Let's do the cannon challenges now!" You said, running over to a cannon.

"Okay then!" Usopp said, coming after you.

"Alright, I get first shot. We gotta hit... those rocks over there!" You exclaimed, pointing to a couple tall rocks.

You took aim at one of them and fired. Your aim was perfect and blew the whole thing up, leaving only the bottom with a small crater in its structure.

"Beat THAT!" You smirked, crossing your arms.

Usopp narrowed his eyes and stared at the structure. He then aimed the cannon slightly up and fired. What he had done was shoot nearly straight up, firing the ball in the rocks direction. It landed right in the middle of the crater you created and smashed a perfect hole straight down. This got him to win the challenge, and the one where you shoot into something, resulting in him winning the competition, 3-2.

"I think I win _______." Usopp said, grinning.

"No. Way." You said, jaw dropping to the floor.

"I win, which means you have to follow the conditions we agreed to."

Your blush returned to your face, realizing what you had to do. Cocky bastard! How did he have the balls to say that? You still couldn't tell if he was picking on you or if he was serious.

"Do I seriously have to?" You asked nervously, looking down.

"Yep. You lost. Can't back out now."

You didn't know what to do or what to say. He was frickin serious. It's not that you didn't want to, well, you kinda did and kinda didn't... but it was so awkward! You were nervous too. But you had to. Still holding your slingshot, you walked closer to him. Your blush increasing, you looked up at him. You noticed that he was blushing a bit too. Trying to look strong and not as nervous as you, you guessed. But you STILL had to do it. Just to get it over with, you shut your eyes and quickly kissed him on the cheek and backed away, looking down again. Maaaaaaaajor blush.

"T-there! I did what you asked!" You stuttered, looking away.

Something you didn't expect was that Usopp started laughing. It sounded nervous, but he was still laughing.

"What's so funny you ass?"

"You really do have shitty aim." He said.

"The hell does that mean?" You asked.

"You missed." He said, leaning down ton you and kissing you on the lips.

Well, that was unexpected. He had some guts to do that. You were caught completely off guard and your eyes widened in shock. The shock you got caused you to nearly fall backwards, but he caught you and he was now leaning into the kiss. Hell, it was practically a dip. You could tell he was damn serious about it too. He wasn't letting up on the kiss at all. When you finally calmed down, you gave in and kissed back since you knew he probably wouldn't give up. You felt unstable, so you used it as an excuse to take your arms and put them around him. While the kiss lasted, it was nice, since you've secretly wished for this for a long time. When he pulled away from you, he looked down at you with a smile that held slight confusion.

"I'm surprised you kissed back." Usopp said.

You scoffed. "I'm surprised you kissed at all, you bloody chicken. And I'm surprised you're not trembling either."

"Ha! The great Captain Usopp always has the guts to do anything!"

"So, you like me. Obviously. How long?" You asked with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.

"... About since... since the first time you came aboard when we had Merry." Usopp admitted. "Especially when you showed off your skill with shooting."

"Huh... That's about the same time for me too, actually." You said.

"R-really?"

"Yup, Now can I stand up please?" You asked.

"Oh, right!" Usopp said, letting you stand.

"Y'know, you're an asshole." You said.

"What? WHY?!" Usopp yelled.

"Because! You didn't tell me! You have no idea how long I've wanted that to happen." You pouted. "You must've been nervous."

"O-OI! The great Usopp is NEVER nervous!"

You laughed at him and nearly fell again. No, scratch that. You did fall over, yet you still laughed on. Usopp stared at you and shook his head.

"Oi, oi, I can't be that scared if I was the one to kiss you." He said. "And that's not really claiming my prize if I had to do it myself, miss blushed a lot!"

You kicked your foot out and tripped him, bringing him down to you. You then jumped on him and looked down at him.

"How's this for shitty aim?" You asked, kissing him yourself.

On de floor baby. You went from being a blush machine to a cocky little bitch in five minutes. Really, you're friggin on top of him, kissing him. It should be the other way around. Well, it ended up that way when Usopp flipped you. Guess he was more of a man than you thought. But all that mattered right now was this moment. Finally. No matter how weird he was, or what others thought if him, you got your wish. To be with him. Now, to hope that everyone else stays the hell off the ship for a while.
