A wide smile spread across Tango's face when he saw a familiar face. "Is that my rancher?!"

Two years of patience and hard work paid off! He felt right back at home! Like nothing ever happened. Kind of.
Aaand y'know, maybe that was part of the problem. Maybe he shouldn't have been so comfortable right off the bat. There were boundary shifts to think of, the passage of time changing his friends (possibly into strangers) and, andー!
And it would be fine, he knew it, but getting past the awkwardness and 'newness' of their reunion would take a little bit. Usopp figured that the familiarity would simply just fix itself as long as he acted like he was already relaxed and well adjusted. He was so committed to the bit, he spent time in the same spaces of his friend uninvited (wow!) and chatted away about his time with Heracles'un and Boin Archipelago almost completely unprompted (cool guy!).
But he worried. Really, he did.
Just like he was now. Worrying. He'd crammed that sweet paprika into his slingshot pellets one too many times. 'Borrowed' the chili flakes more than he should of. He shouldn't have been so easy-going with was Sanji's precious spices. Usopp knew what he was like with Luffy and Zoro and Chopper (and yes, even himself in the past). But now, he was confronted with the consequences of his actions. No, not being caught out and blamed (yet), but being present to witness the cook open the little spice jars in front of him for refills, only to find that there were no 'refills' left to do the refilling.
"Huh!" Shit! "Looks like you'll need 't stock up again at the next port!"
He leaned in on his elbows over the countertop to pretend to be SO absorbed in the noticeable lack of any oregano.
If you see me rping Usopp, it's because I'm doing it exclusively for @xcanarychronicle so they can have the SanUso of their heart's desires. I haven't got the kind of confidence to write him even selectively. Asks and stuff are okay! But I won't be writing any threads for him unless it's for my close friend.
I might? Open threads up to a super hero AU later if the confidence grows but I'll see how I feel about it then.
