the difference between zosopp and sanuso (romantic OR platonic) is that Usopp is Zoro's specialest little guy and Zoro is someone Usopp hangs out with and looks up to and hides behind when things get scary, but Sanji and Usopp are best friends. They horse around, they beat each other up, they confide their worst fears trying to one up each other. Usopp hides behind Sanji sometimes, sure, but idk, Sanji's weaknesses are more obvious (bugs, fighting women, etc) so there are times when Usopp has to stand in front of Sanji too, yknow?

Like, how do I say this, all the crewmates are equal- Usopp and Zoro are equals- but with Sanji it feels like more... comradery? Zoro's a rock in a terrible storm- even rocks tend to get weathered and chipped and worn down, but they overall stay strong and steady. He has trouble being vulnerable and there are times when the burden he's placed on himself to keep the crew safe is crushing his chest. Usopp would help with that and be very understanding, but the point I'm trying to get with that is that those moments are few and far between. So I feel like Usopp, especially after Water 7, would take Zoro's lead on something like that, and keep most of his worries to himself or only talk about them sparingly unless they're really bad and/or he can't hide them.

Sanji is like a tree in a storm; he can be strong, yes, but it feels like he bends and sways with the storm, and has more obvious breaking points. He can relate more to Usopp's struggles rather than resorting to blunt honesty that might border on callous like Zoro. And while, with Zosopp, I tend to think of scenarios with Zoro being blunt like that as a good thing- because sometimes when you're spiraling, it's nice to have someone say exactly what's great about you and shoot down all your worries with straight facts that you can't argue with- I can also see this as being a bad thing. Anxiety can really twist up your brain sometimes, you know? And despite the words, the tone could still mess someone up if they're already feeling like a burden on others in some way.

With Sanuso it's a lot more understanding and thoughtful words. It's distractions and comfort food and patience- the kind reserved for Usopp- until Usopp talks about whatever's troubling him. Compared to Zosopp, it doesn't take as long for Usopp to open up, since he's done the same thing to Sanji at times and it's more familiar to him to talk and commiserate with Sanji about his worries and doubts and such. However, there are times stuff like this has absolutely no effect and Sanji will end up at a loss, no idea what to do or how to help over the course of several days with Usopp being quiet and keeping his distance, and he'll end up working himself up about it which will only serve to make Usopp feel worse and. yeah. bit of a vicious cycle with them.

So it's like. Usopp can be weak with both of them, but since I see Sanji as the type of guy who'd be more open with his worries (at least compared to Zoro), there's less of a need to 'perform' and be his best self around him. He's comfortable around Zoro, yes, but he is constantly wanting to show that he won't be a problem to him. On the other hand, while he's more open with Sanji, and Sanji with him, they tend to relate a bit too much with each other and they both have issues with causing trouble for others and being 'deserving of love' so failed attempts at consoling one hurts the other and creates an unpleasant cycle of misery and avoidance before some other crewmate (Zoro) tells them to quit being stupid and just fucking talk to each other.

#one piece #sanuso #zosopp #long post #nemotime #does this make sense or is this the ramblings of a person who's only got 3 hrs sleep #bc thats me. 3 hrs sleep. ugh #listen okay its like. zosopp has their own growing pains to get through yknow? zoro will eventually get the whole #'oh usopp isnt as open with me bc he wants to seem tough and is also kind of doing the same thing i do. thats bad for him'#and it'll be a whole thing about making a promise between the two of them to try and be more honest with their fears and seeking help #when they need it #the sanuso thing is like. i hope i didnt mean to make it seem like sanuso is 'better' or w/e bc its just a different thing #sanuso got their own problems to sort out. 1. Sanji's everything 2. boundaries on special treatment-#i'm not gonna go seriously into this but both relationships start out not the best and get better over time yknow #also i know usopp's afraid and freaking out a lot but for this post i meant his deeper fears and insecurities #not 'i've got can't-go-on-this-island disease' lmao #the tl;dr of this post is: Usopp is more closed off with Zosopp. Usopp and Sanji have similar issues that cause problems with Sanuso.#also the way i see these ships will probably change at some point. who knows #there was a post i saw recently that was like 'hey sanuso bc romance trio were already chill with each other so sanuso became chill with #each other in an 'alone together' type of way and also they have the same issues' and i thought 'wow so true bestie' and here we are #also. man. usopp taking on / copying the behaviours of his loved ones regardless of his age is just. my jam. in a positive or negative way #maybe i'll make a post about that explaining it more. maybe

Christmas Eve at Satoru's

a/n: happy Christmas, I was honestly supposed to upload this yesterday, but I got lazy and all, but anyways, take this Maki story as my Christmas present to you!!

Summary: It's Christmas Eve and Maki's been weird, as per usual: wanting to get out of the festivities, but then everyone starts acting odd. What the hell's wrong with them?

Christmas with everyone from Jujutsu High is hectic, to say the least. At Satoru's house, too, of all places.

Because first off, at least one person needs to make sure that Yuji and Panda don't eat everything, then that Maki and Megumi don't try to escape the festivities, and that Nobara quits whining to Satoru to let her see her present.

Overall, it's hilarious, because you and Toge are funnily enough the only two “responsible” kids.

And to stay in the spirit of Christmas (and also to keep Maki and Megumi from running away in their typical Zenin fashion), you force them to help you put ornaments on the tree, with possible rewards from you and Yuji.

They're both too stubborn to admit they'd like that, or to even look either of you in the eyes after that.

“Shut up and suck it up before I force Toge to tell you guys to stop moving.” You sigh, your left hand on the back of your neck as you watch Maki hang an ornament with no energy to it; no passion in her movements.

“Maki, you're so stiff. Like damn, put some elbow into it.”

She just silently glares at you, because now she's pissy that she has to stay with everyone else and “willingly” endure being stuck with everyone for the next few hours until midnight, as if she doesn't spend enough time with these buffoons in classes.

“Shut up. I'll put some damn elbow in something else alright.”

And now she's definitely talking about elbowing you in the stomach. Just some friendly jokes, y'know?

She grins, but it comes with an almost murderous glare. Honestly, if you weren't dating, you'd probably take it seriously.

And for once, Yuji gets his mind off eating and instead goes on to help everyone else with the ornaments and things on the tree. Sure, it's Christmas Eve, but something’s better than nothing, no?

Over the course of the next 10 minutes, everyone manages to get the tree all nice and pretty, with ornaments and tinsel.

And so, with that out of the way, it's still early, and definitely not time to open any presents (It's only around 4 PM). Everyone moves to sit down in the living room, on Satoru’s very, very, expensive leather L shaped couch.

That couch has cup holders in between some of the seats, and most of the seats are reclinable except the long seat shaped like a bed.

And thus, everyone sits down. Oddly enough, Maki makes sure to sit away from you, much to your surprise.

“Um.. The fuck're you doin’?” You raise a brow, watching her sit next to Toge. You know very well she would NEVER willingly sit next to Toge if given the choice. You seem almost dismayed at her choice to not sit next to you and allow you to rest your head on her shoulder.

“I'm sitting down.”

Her response causes Toge to look at her from a side eye, and under the collar you know he's giving you that funny Shrek meme look.

Not even just Toge, but Nobara also gives a quick glance, moving to sit on your right. Maki is sure damn lucky that the cup holder thing and Toge are separating you from her, or else she'd be getting strangled right now.

In an almost hilarious reverse of fashion, you glare at her, absolutely flabbergasted by her decision.

“Right. Gotcha.” Your voice carries that sort of disappointed tone to it, and honestly, it almost makes her get up and sit next to you. But no, she has to stay strong.

“Mhm.”

After that, the room pretty much goes silent, seeing as Maki pretty much inadvertently caused a small bicker between you two.

It goes silent and has everyone sitting back into the couch, then Satoru enters, happy as always.

“Okay, guys! So, we're gonna watch Christmas movies, then we'll eat, then we'll watch Christmas movies again, then we'll open presents!” His eyes move toward Nobara for that last sentence, clearly directed towards her. She does a little clap, in spite of the awkwardness of the whole room.

Satoru notices this, but makes no comment, instead, he continues to talk. He basically just says they'll choose a couple of movies. And they do, the Home Alone movies, then Ice Age onward from the second one (everybody hates the baby in the first one).

All throughout the movies you catch Maki whispering to Toge and Panda, which honestly isn't that hard to do since Toge's like 2 feet away from you. But what's hard to catch is whatever they're talking about.

So you just ignore them, and definitely ignore how Maki's sitting right now. Manspreading in her usual fashion when she's not in her uniform. Actually, no, even in her uniform, she does it to a certain point.

You try to ignore it, because it's insanely hot. Yeah. Especially since she's wearing black sweatpants and a tight gray t-shirt with the sleeves that perfectly tighten around her biceps. Not to add insult to injury, but the shirt is very clearly showing off her muscles, namely her very toned stomach.

“What the shit…?” You mutter under your breath, and you're definitely completely bewildered. She's wearing this, when she's told you before, very distinctly, ‘God, you're so weird. Wearing anything tight like that would literally kill me from embarrassment.’

The ‘thing’ in question; a black compression shirt, which she would likely use in the gym.

But now here she is, wearing something very similar to that. Huh?

Whatever. She's ignoring you, so it's only fair to ignore her back for today. Even if today is Christmas.

Of course, Maki did it on purpose. She did it on purpose, and the way she's acting right now is on purpose too.

You just lean back into your chair, reclining it, and relax as you keep your mind off Maki or anything about the possible presents anybody got you.

..damn it. Now you're gonna be stuck thinking about that all day. And by all day, I mean for 15 minutes, because then you fall asleep.

Exhaustion is crazy when you're a Jujutsu Sorcerer, especially a Special Grade.

Nobody wakes you up. So when you do wake up, you wake up to nobody around, the TV still running on Home Alone 3, and you have the distinct feeling you just slept for a couple hours.

“Guys? Where the hell did y'all go?” You sit up after a few moments of just looking around. “The fuck..?” You sigh out, closing the chair, then standing up to look around the house.

Nothing in the living room (obviously), nothing on the kitchen, nothing in the other living room.

What the hell, seriously? Did they just decide to go out and ditch you because you were sleeping..? Nah, Toge would have woken you up with a series of pokes on your cheek. So then, what?

Who knows, because after you get and eat a snack from the kitchen and you go back to sit in the living room, all sad and shit, 20 minutes later, you see Satoru come inside the open kitchen with a shit-eating grin on his face.

“Satoru! Where the hell is everyone?” You ask him across the goddamn room.

He looks at you with a funny face, as if he just got caught taking a cookie out of the cookie jar.

“What do you mean? They're training in the dojo. I thought I texted you we were in the dojo.” He holds a glass of water in his hand, as he walks to you and ruffles your hair.

“Oh, little sister. Paranoid much?” He teases, as you slap away his hand.

You take out your phone from your pocket as Satoru shrugs and starts to walk away. And in fact, yes, someone texted you they were in the dojo.

Maki:

in the dojo when you wake up

Sent around an hour and a half ago.

You're seriously stupid. Braindead, even. Hakari levels of stupid.

Regardless, you start making your way to the dojo, where you and Megumi have sparred. Many, many, times.

The second you enter the dojo by sliding open the doors, you see Maki, Panda, Nobara and Toge all watching Megumi and Yuji spar, in what is a very one-sided fight.

“Sheesh. Talk about an ass whoopin’.” You laugh, as you head inside the room, closing the doors behind you. Maki glances at you, calling the match to Yuji.

“Alright. You and me, Gojo.”

Maki still sometimes feels odd calling you that because it's also Satoru’s last name, but it's really nothing.

You recoil, because you literally just got here and Maki already wants to shove her elbow into your stomach.

“Ah.. Already? Couldn't wait a couple minutes?”

She gives you an amused look, along with a very smug smile. She steps into the ring, as you scoff, pulling off your hoodie and throwing it behind you toward the wall.

“Let's just hurry this up.”

You seriously don't want to spar Maki, but it's inevitable now. You step into the ring, confident in your steps, but then again, you don't even want to be here.

The spar passes by in a blur, mainly because you're distracted, and not really making any moves to defend yourself. So when Maki has you pinned down, face down, hands at your sides being held down by her own, and her knee at your lower back, you're not surprised.

“You distracted or something?” Her brash voice makes sure to keep you focused on her, as you move your head to the side to look at her with your left eye.

You take a small breath in, then mutter, “Somethin’ like that.”

After a moment, she moves off of you, standing up and moving backwards a bit.

“Okay. Um, well, I won. Go sit down.” Maki says, and you comply, grabbing your hoodie and bringing it with you.

And so, as they continue to spar, Maki goes up against everyone else, easily winning against everyone. Even against Yuji.

And once again, it gets increasingly difficult to focus on the fight, and not just on Maki completely.

‘Damn it. Stop. She's ignoring you, why the hell can't you stop wanting to stare at her?’ Your thinking gets you nowhere, especially since Maki can see how much you're staring at her. Kind of gives her an ego boost, seeing her girlfriend looking at her even as she's ‘ignoring’ you.

She's going to continue to be smug about it for the rest of the day, in all seriousness. And she's not kidding.

Even as the time gets close to midnight and everyone gathers around the tree for presents, she has that stupid smirk on her face.

Of course, Satoru does Nobara's present last, and it's honestly hilarious, because he gets her a gag present. Just a box in a box in a box.. Until she gets to a very small box, which holds Satoru's debit card.

Almost everyone groans and sighs, because this only means two people are going to be forced to go shopping with her. He set a limit however, only a couple thousand a month (yeah, like 10 thousand).

There's no present after hers however, and you still haven't gotten anything.

“Satoru, what gives? No present for me?” You ask, raising a brow. You've been very specific about what you've wanted all year, a God of War Ragnarök PS5 bundle, or some Oakley Prizm glasses (the type that rednecks use, but that's okay, because when you wear them, it's not cringe).

“No, there's definitely a present for you.”

The way he says it is definitely off, a small smirk on his face. Oh, you hate him. So damn much. Brothers.

“I got your present, sweetheart.”

Her voice is ever snarky, as she holds a box large enough to hold a PS5 in it. She moves back toward the doorway, and you're stupid enough to follow her.

Well, not stupid, more so just desperate for her attention at this point. Or would it be for her affection?

So you walk over to her, paying no mind to your surroundings. Just her and the present in her hand.

Just her and the present. Her, because of the sole fact she's barely given you attention all day, and the present, well- That's just because it's your Christmas present from Satoru, and it's bound to be expensive.

“Goddamn it, Maki. Just give me the present.” You stand in front of her, in the doorway, as she grins and looks up for a moment. Then you do the same.

It's fucking mistletoe.

You look back down right at her smiling face, and you might have felt the urge to glare at her to no end, but now, nah..

“Merry Christmas, Y/N.”

With those shining eyes and pure grin, you don't care about what's in the box at this point. You just want to kiss Maki.

You lean in close to her and place your hands on her neck, your thumb on her cheek, pulling her close too. It's mainly because of the box in her arms that you have to do it like this.

Your lips press together, and it's evident that Maki put on chapstick, cherry flavored chapstick. Meanwhile you, chapped ass lips, but Maki doesn't give a single fuck, seeing as normally, both yours and hers lips are a bit chapped.

You only know that it tastes like that because you instinctively run your tongue over her bottom lip after a moment. Pulling back a few inches, you smile.

“Cherry, Maki? Didn't take you for the type to use that.”

“Oh, don't be so surprised. Besides, if you keep asking questions, I'm not giving you this present.”

You softly laugh, your eyes falling down to the box then back up to meet her gaze.

“That's funny. You better give me the damn box.”

It was a PS5, God of War edition. But Satoru wasn't the one who bought it.

Maki did. She spent around 700 dollars getting that, just for you. She's pretty broke, but for you, she'd sell her kidney.

So as you two lay in bed a few hours later, with your head on her left shoulder, left arm wrapped around her waist, you're happy.

Sure, she ignored you earlier, but that was on purpose. She didn't want to ruin the surprise she had by pulling it early.

“Thank you, Maki.”

“You're very welcome. Gotta be honest, you're very expensive to shop for.”

Quiet laughter escapes your lips, as she pulls a blanket over both of you.

“Well, depends on what holiday you're shopping for.”

Maki doesn't speak for a moment, but then she playfully scoffs. “You're expensive for all of them.”

Shit, she's got you there.

“..yeah. Fair enough.”

You both lie there in silence for a few minutes, almost falling asleep, before you come on out and say it.

“I love you. Good night.”

Her face slightly warms up at the words, she always does whenever you tell her you love her.

“Good night. I love you too.” It's such a natural response to your words, rolling off her tongue.

She probably loves you a little too much, based on how her arm tightens around your body, or how even in the dark she can remember every part of you.

She loves it.

#god i need her so bad #jjk x reader #jjk x you #maki x reader #maki x you #maki zenin #maki zenin x reader #zenin maki #yuji itadori #megumi fushiguro #nobara kugisaki #gojo satoru #toge inumaki #panda jjk #maki is so gay for you #she deserves the entire world #maki would be so warm while cuddling to be honest
