Usopp X Reader 💕One Shots💕

Let's Change That

Usopp had to take a moment, in absolute shock from what you told him. "I... I can't believe someone would even think to do such a thing to you. I mean I understand your resentment now but... Why would any human in their right mind do that?" He spoke, looking at you with great concern.

"I know right? It's pretty fucked up." You snorted with a muffled cackle, finishing your drink. "Oh well. Now you know."

"I can't believe you're taking your own trauma so lightly. You're really something else, aren't you?" He scoffed.

"Years of shutting down does that to ya." You said, looking over at him reassuringly.

"So..." Usopp started, trailing off a bit.

"So... What?"

"L-let's change that." He stated.

"Pardon?" You questioned, blinking a couple of times.

"Let's change that." He repeated in a firmer tone, turning to face you fully. "Let me take you on a date. Be... Be my valentine _______!"

It took a couple of seconds for what he said to sink in, and when it did, a light blush rose on your cheeks. "I... D-do you really want to do that, or is this a pity thing? I mean... No one could really..." You asked nervously.

"O-of course it's not! I understand your doubt, but the answer is yes. I really do want you to be my valentine. I was... I was waiting for you to come up so I could ask you anyway while we were messing around..." He mumbled, looking away.

His nervous body language told you that there was no way he was lying. This only made your blush flare up more as you set your cup down next to you. "... Yes. yes I'd love to be your valentine. I'll give this day another chance if it's with you." You finally answered.

Usopp lit up like a star at your response, looking back at you with a huge smile. "G-great! I-I promise it'll be great! Just meet me in the kitchen by five tonight, alright?"

"Alright. Five it is." You laughed.

With that, Usopp got up and ran off back to the others, an obvious skip in his step. For some reason the interaction left you feeling warm, and you couldn't help but smile. If he was being truly serious and liked you in that way... Maybe it would be okay. Maybe you could stop denying your own emotions and stop sabotaging yourself for a chance at love again.

"I mean... He is charming and adorable..." You thought to yourself, worsening your own blush. "Oh my god what's wrong with me!"

Pulling yourself from your thoughts once again, the new scene before you made you snort. Sanji and Usopp were arguing like their lives were on the line, and it was all over him making dinner for the date between you and Usopp. The poor soul was pained, but after a few more minutes of him grieving over losing you, Sanji agreed to make dinner for two. The rest of the crew then cheered, applauding Usopp for making a move. That really solidified it for you that he did in fact like you, and clearly for a while. Your hand instinctively went up to cover your face as you huffed, still blushing.

"Oh my god he does like me. Have I... Has it been mutual? I could... I could've said something." You mumbled to yourself, feeling oddly giddy for the first time in a long time.

Someone loudly asked where Usopp got all his confidence in that moment, to which he responded with the fact that he's so godly that he had troves of confidence waiting to be utilized. Name piped up over his comment though and called him a blushing fool, pointing out his jittering hands. This made him yell obscenities at her while the others laughed, you included, giggling like a maniac at the scene before you. Usopp had called on another round of dodge ball in retaliation, nailing absolutely everyone he could reach in the head while he was still blushing a bright shade of red.
