Work Text:
Usopp surprised himself by continuing the workout regime he started doing with Luffy while they were abroad. There was something about how he looked that made him want to make the extra effort. He kind of liked how he looked now, his body anyway. He might need more time before he could accept the face area.
Sanji liked it too so that was a plus.
That's probably why Usopp decided to do something he'd never done before after one particular work out session.
Usopp returned the weights he used to Luffy's room and went into his own, closing the door behind him. Luffy wasn't even home, but Usopp already felt self-conscious. As if Luffy might suddenly appear even though he wasn't supposed to be home for hours.
Usopp picked his phone up from his bedside table. He lifted his shirt, feeling self-conscious despite being alone. The workout had made his abs more prominent than they usually were and his shorts were riding low on his hips, showing off more of his happy trail. With his tank top pushed up to his chin, Usopp was able to get his entire body into the frame of his phone's camera.
Usopp took the photo and checked to make sure it was presentable. Usopp smiled happily when he saw how good it looked. When it came to what he intended to do with it, he was still nervous though.
What if Sanji didn't like it? Or thought it was weird?
“Shut up, stupid brain,” Usopp mumbled to himself, “You know Sanji will love it. Stop trying to trick me.”
Before his evil brain could convince him against sending the picture, Usopp opened his texts. He was pretty sure Sanji was the last person he texted and quickly chose the first option.
Usopp added the selfie with a caption after one more moment's hesitation.
Usopp
think I earned some dessert tonight
After sending the text Usopp hurried into the bathroom to take a shower, blushing to himself. Sanji wouldn't be off work for another half hour anyway. He needed a distraction.
Usopp felt better after the shower. He almost forgot about the picture he sent Sanji. That is until he saw his phone. He was surprised at the amount of texts he had. Was one of them Sanji? He should be off work soon.
He was disappointed when it was just the group chat. He opened it anyway.
Nami
omg
Robin

Confused about what the girls were talking about, Usopp scrolled back to see what the conversation was. He saw with horror the selfie he was supposed to have sent to Sanji.
Usopp

Usopp

Usopp started pacing in his room. Oh god, he completely fucked up. This was so embarrassing.
