relationship hc’s with usopp!! bc i feel like NO ONE actually writes for him. i will single-handedly feed the 3 usopp girlies (don’t quote me on that bc it probably won’t happen) also this is black & fem!reader, not that its particularly important (maybe to 3?) but i js feel very self indulgent, and because i said so. but honestly this can apply to anyone!! ⌞ 1135 words ᝰ.ᐟ ⌝
⟢ this man is the textbook definition of a secret sweetheart, i could even argue he’s more of one than sanji. however he is not a typical gentleman. there is just that level of banter that you can share with usopp that you couldn’t share with sanji. your inside jokes never go too far, and he knows how to push your buttons jokingly but only to a certain point. you guys were practically best friends before you got together so it only makes sense that friendship continues into the relationship.
⟢ ok so you know how he loves bugs, i feel like he’s the same with plants and he knows, like reallllyyyy knows what you like. stopping at a new island, he’s already picked out 3 flowers and 2 fragrant fruits (+ the seeds) to grow for you. certain spices make you sneeze? he’s adding that to sanji’s ’DO NOT BUY’ list of groceries. it’s gotten to the point where sanji just asks him to make a seperate shopping list for you so that he doesn’t keep messing with the main one.
⟢ in order, his love languages are; gift giving, quality time, acts of service, words of affirmation, physical touch.
⟢ do not be misled into thinking that because physical touch is so low he doesn’t like it, he just prefers other ones over it. put. your hands. everywhere. in his hair. on his chest, trace his abs god he’d love that. guide his hands to rest on your stomach or to cup your breasts while he spoons you. ANYTHING
⟢ to add onto that, he loves it when you do his hair. it all started in alabasta when you offered to cornrow his hair so the heat wouldn’t be so unbearable on the scruff of his neck. he now seeks only you when his braids are well past their due date. with you sitting on the couch and him on the floor in between your thighs, almost nodding off, while you meticulously braid his scalp tightly, the air smelling like mixes of various butters and oils. his hair health has never been better. he has 100% suggested doing a big chop together because he is convinced his hair grows faster than yours.
⟢ again with the hair thing, he loves to match hairstyles with you, fulani braids, mini twists, mini braids, twist outs, cornrows or a bun on lazy days. you have tried to teach him how to braid but it’s like he has 2 left hands when it comes to hair. you stay confused on how he can make so many gadgets but can’t even grasp three stranded twists. secretly though, he does know the basics but he likes the feeling of your hands in his hair, no matter how rough you may be. you have earned quite a hefty amount of side eyes when your nails snag a knot that was missed when detangling. he swears you do it on purpose, interrupting his ‘beauty sleep’.
⟢ his self worth is deeply tied to being of use to others. he absolutely adores it when he is the first person you look for. wether it’s simply reaching out for his arm when an unexpected noise scares you, giving him that knowing ‘we are exploring this island together, right?’ look when nami exclaims you guys will be docking soon, asking specifically for his opinions on things that matter to you. or just simple favours
⟢ he loves the nickname ‘captain’ especially in bed. however you refrain from calling him that around the rest of the crew in respect for your real captain. so it’s like a secret only he gets to hear fall in broken whispers from your sweet lips as he denies your orgasm. “say it again but with my name this time” he demands from you “captain usopp” you manage to choke out
⟢ suffers heavily from ‘i give the best advice but don’t follow it because i hope that one day someone will tell me exactly what i need to hear as well’ he sincerely hopes you are that person
⟢ he can read you like a book and can sense what you need before you even do. youre trying to add to the plans but it’s just so chaotic, he’s already advocating for you “guys listen to y/n really quick, she’s been trying to say something”. if you’re forcing yourself to stay awake, he’ll gently take you by the hand to a quiet area on the deck for a ‘short’ nap, hes lowk a good nap partner, not the very best but definetly up there.
⟢ finds it hilarious when you squirm each time he tickles your skin with his beard
⟢ really hates pda. if he so much as senses someone's footsteps while he is wrapped around you, lips on your shoulder he’s squirming away as quickly as possible and has the expression of a child who got caught doing something they weren't meant to. in public, a potential elbow resting on your shoulder is alright if you’re both standing around doing… anything, but the whole arm?? no he can’t do that.
⟢ he is the best defender there is, will not hesitate to start arguments with the rest of the crew in your defence if something is said about you in passing, even as a joke. in hopes that you are defending him just as hard when he’s not around.
⟢ one of his favourite things to do when youre visibly tired is ask if he can carry you. there are only two ways he does this. 1. giving you a piggy back ride, which he is the self proclaimed master of, 2. standing behind you and snaking his arms around your waist, because he loves the way you bring your knees up to your chest, and then allowing you both to fall backwards onto the bed to end the day with cuddling.
⟢ has a bad habit of forgetting that you actually like him for more reasons than 1 and it won’t be that easy for any random person to steal you away from him. this results in many nights ending in awkward silence after you entertain a conversation with a friendly man for a minute too long. you do try and talk him out of these feelings but it takes alotttt of convincing.
⟢ there is nothing usopp hates more than fighting with you or upsetting you. so when you two argue, he always has an unspoken agenda to try and prove something to you. if you tell him “you never plan things properly” hes the first person to pitch in ideas when the whole crew is discussing what to do at the next island. and what’s worse is if you compare him to someone else, he will spend months keeping that on his mind even after you have apologised and the matter has been long forgotten.
