I WANT MORE ~ Usopp x Nami

I love you

Nami blushed smiling at him.

"How about you? How did you knew you fell for me exactly?" asked Usopp curious.

"I got attached to you since I first saw you in your island but in a friendship way. As time passed, I learned we had a lot in common and we became best friends. I was having my doubts if it was just friendship that I felt from you since I was having some thoughts on a love life with you. I knew for sure I had fell for you on Water 7. That fight you had with Luffy. The fact that you wouldn't have continue the journey with us made me get messed up. I couldn't stand the fact that you weren't gonna be by my side. So I was gonna stay there and find you until Zoro said what he said and I couldn't do anything because I had to trust you would apologize. When you came back, I never felt so happy in my life. That's how I knew I wanted you." explained Nami smiling.

They both looked at each other. Nami frowned a little.

"Im sorry about the whole friends with benefit thing. I just thought wrong on how to make sure you would be mine but it ended up hurting you. I also wasn't to happy but if it meant I could have more intimacy with you, I was up for it. I never imagined you fell for me. I should of known that you aren't like other men." said Nami frowning, looking down.

Usopp placed his hand on her chin delicately and lifted her head, making eye contact.

"It's ok. I don't blame you for anything. At least you did something. If it was for my cowardice, probably we would still be just friends. Besides, not every love story starts peaches and cream." said Usopp smiling at her.

Nami smiled back with a blush. She grabbed the hand holding her face.

"Thank you Usopp." said Nami.

They both kept staring at each other. Without realizing, they were both leaning in, getting their faces closer, but...

"Alright, diner is ready. Shrimp and Chicken Carbonara Pasta for the lady and the Cajun Shrimp and Steak Linguine for you. Enjoy your meal." said the waiter.

They both separated quickly.

"Thank you very much!" said both at the same time.

"This looks delicious!" said Nami.

"Indeed, let's dig in." said Usopp.

They both ate and talked. They exchanged some bites of each other's dishes.

After 15 minutes, they finished and ordered dessert.

Nami looked outside at the sakura trees.

"It's so beautiful isn't it?" said Nami.

"Not as beautiful as you." said Usopp.

Nami looked at him and blushed.

"Aww Usopp, thank you for making this such a perfect date." said Nami happily in a sweet tone.

"Well, I hope this makes it more perfect." said Usopp pulling out the little orange pouch and handing it to Nami.

"What's this?" asked Nami curiously while taking the bag.

"Is something I had bought way long ago for you but never had the courage to give it to you." said Usopp.

Nami opened the pouch, letting fall whatever was in the bag on her palm. She layed the bag on the table and took the shining rose gold necklace. She extended it to see it better. She saw the tangerine locket. She was so surprised, amazed and happy.

"Oh Usopp, this is so lovely. I have never had a gift so thoughtful like this one." said Nami happily.

"Turn it around." said Usopp.

Nami confused, turned the tangerine locket around. It had a message:

"No matter what, keep smiling and make your dreams come true." -Usopp

Nami was surprised and without realizing, she started crying.

"NAMI? WHAT'S WRONG? Im so sorry-" he's words were cut off.

"This were similar words Bellemere told me..." said Nami crying with a smile.

She held the locket tight in her hands and put it in her chest with eyes closed while still smiling.

"Thank you Usopp... This is the best gift ever. Can you put it on me?" said Nami opening her eyes.

"S-Sure." Usopp replied and stood up.

He grabbed the locket and placed it around Nami's neck and close it in.

"There." said Usopp. "I'm really glad you liked it." said Usopp smiling while he was about to sit again but Nami grabbed his hand stopping him. He looked back at her as she stood up.

"No. I love it because now it has meaning of the two most important people in my life. Bellemere and you." said Nami smiling.

"Nami..." said Usopp surprised.

Nami hugs him tightly and Usopp hugs her back.

"Hey Nami..." said Usopp and Nami looks at him in the eyes.

"Yes?" she replied.

He cleaned what was left of Nami's tears gently from her face and looked at her determinedly sweet.

"Nami, I love you." said Usopp.

Nami grew a bigger smile without taking her eyes of his.

"I love you too, Usopp." replied Nami.

They both got closer until they're lips finally touched. It was a warm, soft and sweet kiss. 

They then separated from the kiss to look at each other and smiled again.

"One big chocolate soufflé" said the waiter standing.

They both separated.

"Oh excuse us" said Usopp.

They both said down.

"Oh don't worry. It's our pleasure you have chosen our restaurant for this romantic dates. I can tell you both really like each other and don't mind if I tell you..." the waiter got near Usopp's ear. "You bitted jackpot my friend, you are very lucky." whispered the waiter and Usopp laughs.

"I know I am. Trust me." said Usopp looking at her.

"Here's your soufflé. Enjoy." said the waiter and left.

"What did the waiter told you?" asked Nami curiously.

"Oh he just stated the obvious." said Usopp grabbing a spoon.

"What is obvious?" asked Nami grabbing the other spoon.

Usopp smiled at her.

"That I am the luckiest man in the world." said Usopp happily.

Nami blushed smiling.

"Shall we try this?" asked Usopp.

"Yes, indeed." replied Nami.

They ate dessert and kept talking and enjoying the first date of many many and many more to come in the future.
