[THIS IS BEFORE TIME SKIP AND BEFORE BROOK!!!]

___________________________________________________________________________________

“________! Where are you?!” Nami called. “Guys, she’s hiding again! Someone find her!”

“Again? Really?” Zoro asked.

“She’s been doing this for a week now. What the hell is up?” Franky wondered.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but she’s about to miss out on an awesome dinner!” Luffy said.

“What could possibly be troubling my dear _______-chwan?” Sanji grieved, clasping his hands together as he fell to his knees.

“Sanji, get the hell up and help look for her.” Nami said sternly.

“I’m coming to find you _______-chwan!” Sanji sang, jumping up and running around the ship.

“I think she’ll be doing more avoiding with him on the loose.” Nami said, shaking her head.

“If it’s anyone she’s been avoiding, it’s me.” Usopp said.

“What makes you say that?” Robin asked.

“Just watch her at dinner. Notice where she sits. It’s been the same distance for the past week.” Usopp said.

“Distance?” Nami and Robin wondered.

“Move it Luffy! Find_______-chwan!” Sanji yelled.

“No need. I’m right here. Hurry up and let’s just go eat.” You said blankly, walking out of nowhere.

“O-oh! There you are!” Nami said, surprised.

“Yeah. Dinner.” You said, shuffling towards the kitchen in a slump.

Nami and Robin exchanged concerned looks with everyone else before heading inside. Once everyone began to seat themselves, you took the seat furthest away from Usopp. Nami, Who was sitting next to him, took notice of that. As the meal progressed, you hadn’t spoken much. You just made light conversation with anyone that asked you something, except for Usopp.

“I see what you mean now. I never really noticed it up until today, and this has been going on for a week?” Nami asked.

“Yep.” Usopp said. “She’s only like this in our free time. Whenever something needs to be done, she’s completely fine and focuses on the task at hand.”

“I wonder what could have triggered this to happen.” Nami wondered.

“Who knows.” Replied Usopp.

Nami thought for a bit.

“A week ago… What could have happened? We just left Water 7 a week ago. Wait, Water 7, and everything with Enies Lobby… Ooooh.” She thought, nodding to herself.

“What? Think of something?” Usopp asked.

“Yes, but I think I’ll have to keep my thoughts to myself for now.” Nami said.

“Tch, so much for sharing is caring.” Usopp scoffed.

The meal continued on with the bubbly conversation of the Straw Hat crew until everyone was finished. When Sanji began to collect the dishes, you rose from your seat and started to leave.

“Hey, where are you going _______?” Luffy asked.

“Away. I’m on a boat. I can’t possibly go very far.” You said blankly, walking out with a slight slouch in your step.

“There she goes again.” Franky said.

“_______ sure has been disappearing a lot.” Chopper noted.

Nami glanced at the door, then Usopp. He looked uneasy. Then, he stood up and headed for the door.

“I’m going to look for _______. She’s been like this since Water 7. I need to know what’s wrong.” He said, leaving the kitchen.

“Since Water 7….” Robin thought. She looked at Nami. “Do you think?”

“Yeah, that’s what I came up with. It’s been a bit, but some memories can cling for a while.” Nami nodded.

“Well, when you think about it, it’s actually kind of sweet,” Robin smiled.

Nami laughed. “It kind of is!”

“Oi! Whatcha talkin’ about?” Luffy asked, butting in.

“NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!” Nami yelled, throwing forks at Luffy, sending him screaming and running away.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Where the hell could she be?” Usopp thought aloud. “It’s a SHIP.”

He wandered around the whole ship for a good ten minutes. He was definitely set on finding you. He really wanted to know what was up with you, far more than anyone else, and for more than one reason too.

“Damn. I guess I’ll check in the library for a start.”

On his way to the back of the ship, before he entered the library, he noticed a figure hanging over the railing of the small deck on top of the red and yellow roofed room.

“Yeeeep, that’s her.” Usopp said, climbing up to see you.

Once he was up, you haven’t noticed him yet. He approached you and bent down next to you in your slouched sitting position.

“Hey _______, I finally found you! I wanted to ask you something.” Usopp said.

You jumped back in surprise and scooted three feet back. “W-what the hell are you doing up here?!”

“I wanted to ask you whats up. You’ve been distant for a while, so I came looking for you to ask.” Usopp said, getting back up.

“Well nothing is up. Go away.” You said bluntly.

“Something’s up, and I’m concerned.”

“No, there isn’t.” You argued, getting up and starting to walk away.

“Wait!” Usopp called, grabbing your hand to stop you.

“W-what!” You said, slightly annoyed. There was still blush on your face from the contact though.

“I want you to talk to me! You’ve been sketchy for a week! You’ve been avoiding us a lot. Especially me. It was only a week ago we left Water 7! We’ve come so far from the start! What’s wrong?” Usopp asked, looking you straight in the eye.

You started to shake slightly as tears pricked the corners of your eyes. “I’m doing this because… because… because it’s all your FAULT!” You yelled.

Usopp let go of your hand. “What? How?”

“WATER 7! YOU LEFT US. IN WATER 7.” You screamed.

Usopp had a look of shock on his face.

“The moment you said you were leaving the crew, I didn’t believe it! I didn’t want to! When Luffy beat you to a pulp and told us to leave you, I broke down! I DIED on the inside! And you know what? I was so depressed, that I didn’t even know my own surroundings as well as I should have. You know how stupid I felt when I found out that YOU were Sogeking?! I realized that a few days later than I should have. Suuure, when you came back, it was great and all, but I couldn’t bring myself to celebrate anything! The depression was still there. I kept going away to think. Think about how stupid I was, and how stupid you were for leaving! I hate you SO MUCH for doing that, because the moment you were gone, my life felt empty! That’s why it’s all your fault! I didn’t WANT you to leave! I think back on it and still cry because I wonder how I would have been if you didn’t come back! What condition I would be in if you weren’t here now because I LIKE you so much you asshole!” You yelled, tears streaming down your face.

Usopp stared at you, completely unsure of what to say anymore. You on the other hand, had realized what you said, and your blush quickly returned to your face.

“Shit! I said way too much!” You cursed, starting to run away in embarrassment.

“_______ stop!” Usopp yelled, grabbing your arm and pulling you back.

You struggled to get away, to go and hide away again, but Usopp wouldn’t let you go. He pulled you back and straight into his arms, hugging you tightly.

“I never knew that was how you felt. At all. I thought that your reason for leaving all the time was something much less.” Usopp said. “Memories can cling, but I never thought yours would cling so strongly. I wasn’t thinking properly. All I cared about was the Merry, when it really should have been the crew, and you.”

You stopped struggling and froze. “What? B-bull shitter!”

“No. I’m seriously sorry. That was the reason I came back after that stupid rant of mine. I missed the crew, and I was worried about you. You were evasive, and I wondered what happened to you. I’m sorry for causing this state of depression.” Usopp said.

You started to quiver before more tears appeared in your eyes. “I-I don’t know if you really mean that. You did it, SOGEKING.” You said in a shaky voice.

Usopp cringed slightly at the comment. “_______, I’m so very sorry for putting you through this pain without realizing it. When I came back, it was too late. No, it was too late the moment I left. I truthfully came back for you though, because while I was gone, I realized that I loved you, and I missed you being part of my life.”

“U-usopp are you seriou-!” You said in shock, but you were cut off by him turning you around and kissing you.

You froze and lost control of the emotions you were feeling, wanted to be feeling, and the one your heart told you to feel. You hated Usopp so much, but loved him just as equally. Only a week ago, he came back from the time he broke you apart, and now, he has repaired the hole in your heart. All your hatred for his stupidity was slowly disappearing along with your depression. The days of sitting alone, confused on whether you should even like him melted away as you began to trust him again in a way more than you ever have before. He said he was sorry, more than a million times, and that he truly cared for you. That seemed to heal the blackness that had taken over your heart for the short week that seemed to last an eternity. You let yourself cry out everything while he kissed you, feeling still in a slight mix. After a few moments, you slightly kissed back, to say that you have accepted his apologies, and him.

When you parted for a breath of air, you hugged him tightly, showing zero signs of letting go.

“You really do mean it.” You said weakly.

“Yeah. That was about the only thing I could think of quick enough to show you I really did. Now stop hiding away for hours on end. We all miss you being around to make jokes and play games. Your smile is something that we want to see again. Especially me.” Usopp said, hugging you back with a serious, but small smile.

“Okay. I miss being happy anyway. I wish I didn’t let my emotions take over me like that. It’s a bit ridiculous.” You said.

“It might be ridiculous, but it shows me how much having me around mattered to you. And that you were thinking about me for a long time~!” Usopp added in a joking tone.

“You’re being stupid you cheesy bastard.” You said, grinning slightly.

“Yes! I got you to smile! I haven’t seen you smile like that in so long.”

“It’ll stay if you make me a promise. Never leave again, no matter how angry you get. Ever.” You said.

“That’s a promise that I’m sure I can keep.” He said.

“… I feel like an ass for yelling at you before.” You scoffed.

“Hey, your feelings were strong, and you needed to let it out. It’s understandable. I kinda wish I came a bit sooner though. This is a nice moment right now.” He chuckled.

“You’re being cheesy again.” You said, kicking his foot.

“Sorry!” He laughed. “So do you want to head down now?”

“No. I’m too lazy and a bit exhausted. I’d probably get questioned by everyone anyway.”

“Well, I have an idea. Let’s just stay up here for an hour or two. I don’t think anyone will miss up. We’re on a ship.” Usopp suggested.

When you nodded, he took you to the railing and sat down, pulling you down with him and leaning back on it, facing the setting sun on the Grand Line. For Usopp, thim moment looked pretty romantic. And that’s kinda hard to see someone like Usopp being romantic.

“Maybe this is a pretty good moment.” You said quietly, smiling.

“That’s the brightest I’ve seen you smile in that whole week _______. It feels good to see you smiling again.”

“Well, I feel a lot better. That rant helped, what you said helped, and right now feels perfect.” You said.

“That’s good. Everyone will be happy to see you smiling again.” Usopp said.

“For sure.”

As you sat there with Usopp, the sky soon started to turn different shades of purple and pink. Night was slowly approaching, and you yawned. Soon, you fell asleep in Usopp’s arms, just as the last sliver of sunlight disappeared behind the sea. Usopp looked at you and smiled. He was happy for you, now that you were no longer depressed and upset. He kissed your nose once more before closing his eyes and drifting off into a peaceful sleep with you, never to leave your side again.
