Author's notes (after posting): Ah... Mods, I can't seem to be able to add Robin to the tags. At least, it doesn't show up on my end. What might I be doing wrong? Fixed now! Thanks, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
slaughterchichi!
When Usopp at his workbench started moaning in despair, wailing about missing his favourite wrench, the extra-flexible one he’d fought a fire-breathing, two-headed Carpenter Monster for (or swapped from Tyleston for a smell dial, depending on what version you preferred), how it wasn’t to be found anywhere and could he actually have been stupid enough to leave it outside when the last storm hit, Robin had looked up from her flowerbed and closed her eyes.
She opened sixty other eyes, all over the ship, and after one minute she spotted a small instrument looking forlorn in a corner of the engine room, told Usopp he could go look there, then went back to watering the flowers.
When she heard running feet in heavy shoes tumble back up the steps, she wasn’t surprised to hear his shout of joy and relief, nor the ecstatic cry “Robin! You make the best spy ever!”, though it still made her chuckle. She wouldn’t have been too surprised over a hug, either, though Usopp, unlike Nami and Chopper, was rarely that free with her.
What she didn’t expect was him leaning up on tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.
She blinked, nonplussed for once, and he quickly broke off and jumped back. "Ah, s-sorry about that! It was just –" he waved his hands, blushing, "I was just so happy and you looked so pretty – I dunno, maybe I’ve got Sanji germs today - don’t hit me!"
Then he scooted back to his work, back to taking scraps and make something new and unique, with clever hands and busy brain; knowing he was good at it but not, Robin suspected, believing it amounted to much. And quite unaware of how unusual and precious his talents were… including the talent to reach out and surprise her.

Date: 2009-01-21 05:45 pm (UTC)I just got this image of Usopp leaning up to kiss Robin unexpectedly as she stood by the flowers and tried to make it into something. (Made it a kiss on the cheek to make it more plausible.)
