Usopp X Reader 💕One Shots💕

Let's Change That

Settling back against the mast again, you continued to watch them all play with a content smile on your face. Nami and Robin eventually joined you after a while, chatting you up while the boys remained locked in competitive play. They gave you a playful jab here and there about the date, saying that you may not be such a stone cold hater for affection after all. You of course tried to tell them off but your ever present slight blush made it impossible for you to sound serious. You weren't even mad like you normally were. In fact, you rather enjoyed the thought of opening your heart again, so you indulged in the playful girlish conversation under the afternoon sun for hours on end, being delivered the occasional drink and snack from Sanji every activity change.

As time went on, you and the girls decided to play your own silly games, settling on light gambling. This made the time pass rapidly while you gossiped and shared the occasional laugh at the boys. Eventually though, Nami gave you a slight nudge and a nod, redirecting your attention.

"_______, it's about four now. Do you think you should be getting ready right about now?" She asked rhetorically.

"You're right." You nodded, smiling a little. "I'll wear something a little nicer perhaps."

"Good idea. Sanji and Usopp have been missing from the deck for a while now, so I can only assume they're getting the kitchen ready for you." She pointed out.

"Oh my god." You groaned, standing up. "Alright well I'll get 'er in gear then."

"Good luck~" Robin smiled.

Shaking your head, you walked off with a stupid little smile on your face and headed down to your room to change. Upon entering you sighed deeply and looked at yourself in the mirror for a moment, taking in all that had occurred over the past few hours. You were really going on a one-on-one date with Usopp for Valentine's day. Though he practically already confessed, you were still nervous as hell as you yourself had yet to explicitly say that you were also in love with him. Just thinking about it made your heart flutter in your chest, driving you bonkers.

"Wow. My heart hasn't beat like this in a long time. I... I never thought I'd ever feel like this again." You chuckled to yourself, looking at your own red face in the mirror's reflection. "This shit isn't gonna go away is it? God..."

Knowing you couldn't fight biology, you pushed away from the mirror and started dressing yourself in something a little more classy. You took your time with it, deciding on a nice form fitting pantsuit, your dress shirt being a nice maroon colour. Dresses weren't really your thing anyway. Not wanting to overdo it, you only accessorized yourself with a simple silver chain necklace, and spent the rest of the time pacing in thought, attempting to still your beating heart. It refused to calm itself though, and you spent so much time trying to do so that it was already practically five. When you noticed, you cursed, and darted out of your room as fast as possible up the stairs and to the kitchen. Panting like mad, you took in a few deep breaths before you entered, composing yourself. When you were finally ready, you pushed open the door, and had to audibly gasp at what you saw.

All the windows were covered to stop daylight from entering and allow the whole room to be lit solely by candle light and oil lamps. Rose petals were scattered along the floor, creating a trail that led to a small square table draped in a red cloth at the far end of the room where Usopp sat in wait for you, also having dressed himself up nicely. On the table sat your already prepared meals, the dish of choice being a pasta dinner and wine. The entire kitchen itself was actually moved around for the occasion, just to make the atmosphere all the more appealing, and you honestly had a hard time believing it was all done just for you to have dinner. Still looking around in wonder, you approached the small table where Usopp sat in his rather charming vest and dress wear, letting your eyes finally settle on him with a light pink blush dusting your cheeks.
