April Fools Birthday

"Today's gonna be AWESOME!" You cheered, skipping out on deck happily.

Only Brook and Usopp were out on the deck, so your cheers of happiness weren't heard by many. Though those words in Usopp's ears triggered a smile of his own. He approached you casually with a grin on his face.

"Oi _______! Do you know what today issss~?" He asked, slightly bouncing at some excitement bubbling up inside him.

"Yes I do~! It's APRIL FOOLS DAY~! I can't wait to prank someone!" You cheered, skipping off slightly.

Usopp's smile dropped a bit as he watched you jump with joy for the holiday you just spoke. Did you really forget the day that was most important to him? The day he actually wanted to spend with you. But sadly, it was on the said day that everyone loved to prank about. He watched you slip up behind Brook and pop a paper bag behind his head, making the skeleton jump in surprise while you burst out laughing, having carried out your first prank of the day. He sighed and turned around, proceeding to walk down to the aquarium bar to have a session of though for himself.

As he closed the door behind him, you glanced up at it, your own smirk dropping slightly. You knew what day it really was. It meant much more to him than the stupid little holiday you loved to celebrate. His birthday, of course, conveniently placed on the same day as April fools day. You found it a bit ironic, his birthday being on this day, considering the lies he always told. Backing away from Brook and tossing the popped bag aside, you sighed deeply as you stared at the door. You had a little plan, and it was to incorporate this day with his birthday. So far, it was going as planned, but it kinda hurt to see him walk away like that, unknowing that you really did know that today was his birthday. But you just had to roll with it. It would be awesome in the end anyway.

Trying to pick up your spirits, you jogged off to the figurehead of the Sunny and bent down, pulling out a small box hidden behind some of the orange and yellow wood. Carefully handling it, you held it to your chest and walked more calmly back across the deck and into the kitchen, slowly planning out the short morning and picking the perfect time to give this small box to Usopp, while pranking the others along the way.

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

Throughout the course of the morning, you had successfully been able to prank the crew one by one, also getting pranked a few times yourself. Though it was all fun and games, it was now the time for you to go and head over to Usopp. The still light of the morning shining through the windows of the kitchen, you headed down a ladder and to the aquarium bar, of where you were sure he had gone from before.

Coming down into the cool blue room, sure enough, Usopp was there, leaning back on the large and curved sofa that stretched as long as the tank. His head was tilted back as he stared at the fish blankly. Slowly, you approached him and cleared your throat a bit to let him know of your presence in the room.

The sound made him turn his attention forward as he moved his head from the glass of the aquarium to you. At the sight of you, he put on one of his best smiles as to try and not look rude to you.

"Yo, _______. How's the pranking going?" He asked rather blankly.

"Eh, pretty good." You replied. Holding back a smile as best you could, you held out the small box in front of him. "Just need to finish up the morning with this." You added.

Usopp stared at the box hesitantly, unsure if he should take it. He looked at you, then back at the box, then up at you again. Rolling your eyes, you sighed and thrust the box in his direction.

"Just take it!"

Usopp took the box and stared at it for a second or two. Gulping, he slowly removed the lid as if a pie would come popping out of it or something. One eye closed and the other just barely open, when the lid was fully off, he opened his eyes properly and looked down into the box. Inside, was a small cake with the words; "Happy Birthday Usopp" written on it. He looked up at you with a sort of shocked expression on his face, completely wordless.

"April fools Usopp. You think I'd really forget YOUR birthday?" You asked with a small smile.

A smile of gratitude finally came upon Usopp's face as he set the small cake down beside him.

"Thanks _______. I really did think you forgot. You got me." He chuckled. "Though, I really didn't like you misleading me like that. Could I perhaps have an extra birthday gift?"

"Oh, and what would that be?" You wondered.

"Can you be my present?" He asked.

Blush came to your face and you scoffed with a small smile. "Always a catch. Yes, I will be."

Usopp reached up and grabbed you with a smile, pulling you down on top of him and into a warm hug. "Good. You need to make up for that prank _______~!"

"Will a birthday kiss suffice, then?" You said with a smirk, turning your head and placing your lips onto his.

Without hesitation, Usopp kissed you back, turning you around so the angle was less awkward for the both of you. Both of you were smiling into the kiss, arms wrapped around each other, both getting something good out of today. This was probably the best birthday present Usopp could have ever asked for in his life. Just sitting here with you being his present. Even though it was April fools day, and your trick was a little mean, this made up for it in his books.

All because of a silly little holiday.
