ZoSopp Challenge #44 and Babble

Prompt: Crossed Wires
Rating: PG but with lots of implications
Pairing: Usopp/Zoro
Word Count: 125



Zoro eyed the vial in Usopp’s hand, fingers tightening around the slim tube in his own grasp. The long-nosed sniper matched him glance for glance until their eyes finally met. Usopp flushed, opened his mouth to stutter out what would undoubtedly be a long-winded and pointless explanation, and Zoro, who was more than ready to go and didn’t feel much like delaying any longer, beat him to the punch.

“Huh. Well, you wanna janken for it or you just wanna…”

The vial and the tube ended up on the carpet, neglected and next to each other, and Zoro got a knee to the face in his haste to maneuver Usopp, but in the end they were both more than satisfied despite the change in plans.

I really liked the mental image in this one. :D

Also, the 2.5 hour ordeal is rather like WELCOME TO INDIANA WE HAS MANY FREEZING RAINS. In fact, we're in the throes of an ice storm, as a result of which one of the trees in our yard lost an enormous limb and took down a power line with it. By the grace of God alone we have power, but the entire street is cordoned off at both ends and I couldn't get out of my driveway if I were parked there.

Long story short, I CANS HAS DAY OFF. XD

I dids not get paid for day off, though. We were lucky; it came down in the street, and it missed the neighbors' outbuilding and any vehicles.

I was floored! I figured it would be out for sure, and HOW am I supposed to get through twenty-four hours WITHOUT the INT0RBUTTZ? XD

When you get to Usopp's incredably awesome bit in the Triller Bark arc I would love to read yout thoughts on it.

Also, I think I missed a implied joke in the Zsopp drabble.

...Ooooooooo!

Yes he does! He got a chance to really shine and be awesome during this arc.

I will comment on this properly later, because I've only got two minutes left on this computer, and I'm already due back from my break... but YES, BASK IN THE ZORO-WHORE-NESS OF IT! Seriously, I'm SO VERY ONE TOO. Now I might have to make shirts. MUAHAHA!

Just wait. Wait till the end of thriller bark. ZOMG, I'm still dancing over it. And Sanji. God I love them both so much. (But Zoro more, just a little.)

Also- saw your comment; still need to reply; I've not been on the computer much, lately. SORRY~!!!! Will do later. ;)

I really need to sit down and catch up on One Piece some time. I miss it so much, and I'm scary far behind right now. I would love some b-day fic! Hmmmmm... I think I'm feeling nostalgic today. How about some One Piece fic set ages and ages ago, when Vivi was on the ship?

Usopp flushed, opened his mouth to stutter out what would undoubtedly be a long-winded and pointless explanation I think I will never stop loving dorky boys.

(Also, I'm really adoring the Nightwish album you uploaded a few weeks back. Such pretty music. Thank you!)

Decisions, decisions.

How about some girl pr0n worked in around the boys being the boys and the usual nakamashipy stuff. Maybe something set on Merry (or on one of the quiet, safe islands that must exist somewhere, even in the Grand Line) inbetween all their wacky adventuring?
