Usopp X Reader 💕One Shots💕

Let's Change That

You awoke to the sounds of joy and cheer, which was an odd thing to wake up to on a Sunday morning. Knowing damn well you wouldn't be able to fall back asleep again with all that noise, you sighed and gave up on sleeping in in exchange for getting dressed to go and see what all the commotion was. Everyone must've been involved with whatever was going on as the ladies quarters was empty aside from yourself. Whatever had everyone going crazy at 10am on a Sunday morning had to be interesting, so you'd have to go up to see what insanity was brewing on deck and causing all that banging.

"Good lord what could possibly be going on? They're so loud." You groaned to yourself, adjusting your pants and shaking the last but of fatigue from yourself before exiting and ascending to the deck.

Once you came up on deck and saw the scene before you, a dull sense of dread washed over your soul. It wasn;t just a Sunday: it was Valentine's day. You had completely forgotten that this day even existed, but the overload of pink decorating the deck gave you a sad reminder of this awful holiday. Yes it was pretty, with all the hearts and glitter being donned by the Sunny in all her glory, but the remnants of your past refused to let you find any sort of joy in relation to this day. As you gawked at the decorations, some of the crew spotted you, and rushed over to you in joyous greeting.

"_______! You're awake! Are you ready for a suuuuuper Valentine's day?" Franky greeted, having decorated himself in pinks and reds.

"Yeah yeah! We're gonna play games and stuff! To celebrate our family!" Chopper added from atop Franky's shoulders.

"We'd love it if you joined!" Usopp chimed in excitedly, looking at you with the biggest puppy dog eyes possibly.

"Ah, you know, that sounds wonderful and all, but I'm going to have to respectfully decline your offer." You laughed nervously, feeling a bit bad as Chopper was immediately drained of his excitement. "I have a lot of negative feelings towards this day, so I'll be saving you my inevitable attitude." You added on, trying to make light of your feelings.

"Aw... I mean if it wouldn't make you feel good, we won't make you." Usopp nodded, understanding you despite his obvious sadness.

"We understand _______. Take care of yourself, hey?" Franky winked, giving you a thumbs up that made you feel a bit better.

"Will do." You nodded. "You three should get going though. By the looks of it, everyone else is ready to start screwing around."

You pointed at the mob of waving buffoons behind them, waiting with eager expressions. Franky, Chopper, and Usopp nodded to you and dashed off excitedly as if their childhood joy had never left them. They also seemed to have ran your request by the others so that they knew not to pester you, as there was an audible 'aww' from the group. They all seemed to understand though as all nine thumbs went up in the air at you, making you chuckle. The support they gave was undeniably adorable, but you truly had to sit this one out. Sighing deeply once more, you turned and took a seat under the main mast, deciding to at least watch their shenanigans.

They went on to play the silliest party games ever: from tag, to twister, and all sorts of hilarious minute long team tasks involving eggs and ropes of sorts. If anything, you were happy to see platonic love be celebrated on the day of romance, but there was still a dull and sour taste in your mouth when it came down to the day as a whole. Watching would have to suffice for you. Seeing the insanity unfold before you was a sight of its own to behold anyway, and you found yourself enjoying it quite a bit. There was one victorious crew member across the board for nearly all of the games played though, and that member was Usopp. He came out on top nearly every time, leading to little fights over who's team he would be on next. Every time he won, he would boast loudly about how he was practically a god at these games, earning a muffled giggle from you almost every time as well.
