#Ace is NOT alive because I need that good good angst

[jojococomo]

[Before Law can get a word in edgewise explaining how he would rather not. Luffy's gone in a whirlwind. Or a typhoon. Any natural disaster that left the land devastated in its wake. Law is left standing in the middle of the cafe, clutching his phone as the door slams shut behind Luffy, the bell ringing his exit. 

Law slumps into his stool, suddenly exhausted. 

“Sorry about him.” Nami says sliding into the seat that Luffy just vacated, “He’s like that. Once he takes a shine to you, that’s it. He’s all in. He has no care about whether you want to be his friend or not.”

“We’re not friends.” Law mutters. Nojiko snorts into the mug she’s drying, “I barely know him.”

“I’ve been friends with him for years and I barely know him.” Nami responds with a shrug, “That’s just Luffy. Count your blessings that he likes you. People he doesn’t like usually get punched in the face.”]

I should be working, but today brain bad. Here's a peek into my LawLu hospital AU that is never going to see the light of day because i'm a BAD person who can't finish things.

Hi, there! :D 🌼

First of all I must say that your blog was one of the first blogs that I discovered and read when I just entered the TWST fandom and I must say that I thought your fics and drawings were great. So seeing that this blog was taking requests again made me excited as you have no ideas. So I won't waste my shot, I'll try to make a request here (I hope I do it right)

Reader: Female. Type: Headcanon or Fic (Romantic). Scenary: Inspired by the fic of the first year boys simping the reader. In this scenario, a boy from another class slowly becomes so close to the reader that he decides to ask her out. She innocently accepted without knowing that the boy wanted to steal a kiss from her on that date. But the first-year boys won't stand by, they'll spy on her date.

I think it would be good angst and comedy material. xD But well that would be my request, if my request does not convince you you can discard it without problems but if not take your time and without pressure. Thank you so much💐💕

LET'S GET SUPER MEAN ! [ HEADCANONS / FLUFF ]

AUTHOR'S NOTE: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REQUESTING DARLING! THE WAY YOU REQUESTED IS CORRECT SO NO NEED TO FRET! IT'S SUPER SPECIFIC SO IT HELPS WITH MY WRITING! HOPEFULLY, THIS COMES OUT JUST AS HOW YOU WANTED IT! ENJOY READING, DARLING! TW: NONE! NRC FRESHMEN X FEM! READER

╭───────────────── ╰──➤(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ FLUFF ♥

┊❥ First things first, they, the five of them, are a literal mess. The first person to spread the news to the other four was Ace. The redhead caught a glimpse of you talking to another student who seemed way too giddy for his own. Of course, he had to stay and listen in to the conversation; who knows what trouble you've dug yourself into

┊❥ Ace's jaws turned slack right at the moment you happily accept the date, the other student gleefully thanking you before walking off. Did he heard that right? You're going on a date? With some rando that he or the others didn't even know about? 'This won't do, this can't happen!' is what runs in Ace's head as he scampers back to tell the others

┊❥ The redhead is out of breath the moment he arrives at the designated spot after having call the others on his phone while running. The moment they picked up the phone, he just shouts 'NO TIME TO EXPLAIN! JUST COME OVER! IT'S AN EMERGENCY!!' and hangs up. The desperation and urgency present in his voice is what convinced the others to get moving to the regular hangout

┊❥ Once the five of them had gathered, Jack and Epel had to repeatedly ask Ace to slow down because of how fast he was trying to explain the situation of you going on a date with some guy; the redhead choking on his own spit and breath from watching the incident unfold an hour ago

┊❥ It was only after that Ace (finally taking the time to explain word by word) explained, the other four faces' were drained of colour. Deuce is panicking, Epel is furious, Jack is in denial and Sebek has half the mind to scare off the other guy (or more like, lecture the guy's ears off until he decides to leave you hanging on the said date)

┊❥ They settled on the idea of spying on your date is much more preferable than having to maul the guy alive (there's a chance that you might be upset at them for interfering with your romantic life) so with courage and jealousy in hand, the five of them sought out to set the plan in motion

┊❥ Your date with the close classmate of yours was in the greenhouse, right after the bell for lunch had rung too. The bastard really had to pick such a time because he knew that there weren't that much students hanging around outside of campus in fear of food running out. Luckily, the gang waited and hid among the plants, their eyes following your every move as the both you chat up a storm

┊❥ Sure, they agreed on not interfering with your date but they didn't say anything about one of them sabotaging just a little bit (newsflash, they all lent a hand in sabotaging the date without realizing. Dumbasses.) When the guy wasn't looking, Ace would purposely stick out his feet so the guy would fall head first on to the soil-oh wait, he didn't fell into soil, he fell face first into chicken fertilizer!

┊❥ The male student wretched in disgust when bits of it accumulated in his mouth, feeling embarrassed under your apologetic gaze as you offered up your hand for him. If you listened closely enough, you can hear Epel snickering in one of the bushes nearby. Hoo boy, it gets even worse from there. Jack would make you split up with guy just so Sebek could turn on a dirty water tank on the student, the brown stained water coating him from head to toe

┊❥ The final nail on the coffin was when Deuce made one of the pots break directly on the guy's head (No life threatening injuries, don't worry!), leaving a painful bruise appearing on the centre of his hair. After having to fall flat and even tasting chicken fertilizer, his pristine uniform stained with smelly water and a lump forming on his skull, the male student just had enough; abruptly telling you that he's had enough of the date and storming off without even batting an eye to your confused state

┊❥ Looks like they scored this one, fellas! Don't worry, they'll slip away from the greenhouse and act too smug for their own good while simultaneously trying to play off that they're oblivious to what transpired during the date ! The five of them are likely to do jabs at the poor sod aloud from time to time in the next classes they're in

would love to see something ab reader having a nightmare about shoko, geto, and gojo dying maybay? and they wake up in a panic? shuffling off to the dorm kitchen to try and maybe calm herself down only to see geto there and he helps calm them down after they confide in him. could be with your series where gojo and geto are together because those boys are def in love 🥹☺️. BUT YEAH JUST,,, comfort hehe.

really enjoying your writing btw, pls keep up the good work, bub :)

very very very cute idea anon. ily ♥️

yes, i swear they are 100% in love with each other canonically!!!! i love them together sm.

if only my dreams were as sweet as you (geto x reader x gojo)

warnings: angst to comfort, anxiety attacks, depressive episode, gore descriptions

You shook upon the ground you sat on, barely breathing, barely able to move.

Your leg was ripped off, the remainder of what was left of it wrapped tight with Suguru’s coat, his attempt to comfort you, to stop the bleeding. To assure you everything is okay.

You think you’ve lost your sense of touch. Your sense of self. You can’t feel any semblance of their cursed energies anymore.

Geto Suguru laid on the ground, his eyes lifeless, an arm torn off from his body, laying uselessly within the pits of some sick curse’s stomach. A large hole stretched throughout his midriff. He had no chance of survival.

Shoko Ieiri was near your side, body cold, trapped within rubble that suffocated her already dead self, her face unrecognisable, gored from the ferocious attacks of a special grade that she stood no chance against from the start.

Finally, Gojo Satoru, laid on your lap as you screamed and cried for him to wake up. You can’t lose him. His eyes were wide open, crystalline blue dull and gone, his cursed energy barely even there. Your tears fell onto his face, staining his cheeks and seeping into the cuts he sustained.

You shake and shake him with your broken arms, your arms feeling useless as the nerves slowly started to die.

Please. Please. Please!

Don’t leave you alone in this universe. Don’t leave. Don’t leave! You can’t lose the only people you love. You can’t. Your heart shattered when Ieiri fell, crushed to dust when Suguru lost, and now nothing would remain as Satoru was defeated.

You feel the looming shadow of the special grade curse.

You hope it takes you to where your beloved three were.

Jolting awake with a start, sweat dripping off your brow even as the AC ran. Feeling your heart stutter and pound, your senses going into overdrive as you felt the area for the three.

Suguru, Shoko and Satoru. You felt their energy all around you. A strikingly bright, overwhelming energy. An ominous, immense and darker energy. A serenely heart-chilling one.

Alive. They were alive. Your heart never felt such relief.

Thank goodness. It was just a dream. Just a dream.

Your hand scurried to what you thought was your missing leg, squeezing and pinching the flesh that was definitely there. Yep, definitely a dream. A horrible one.

A nightmare.

You hold your face in your hands as you felt tears begin to well up. You can’t believe your mind even conjured that. Bile was rising up your throat as you continued to cry.

You can’t live in a world without them. The thought of losing all three of them was devastating.

A life without them? You’d rather die. You felt the urge to throw up just thinking about this.

Water. You need water. Does Suguru keep his chamomile and valerian tea in the pantry too? You think you need some.

Your shaky legs barely hold you up as you venture out of your room, dressed in your sleep shorts, oversized shirt and fluffy lamb slippers. Your hair was a mess, your face void of most of its colour.

You must look like you’ve woken from the dead. (Your attempt at a joke to lighten yourself up. You need to spend more time around Satoru for his silliness. You suck.)

As you approached the kitchen, you were surprised to see a glowing lamp still on. Is someone in there, or did Satoru forget to turn it off?

You slowly peek in from the ajar door, only to find Geto Suguru, in all his glory, already staring at you. Long hair left down from his usual bun, dressed in sweatpants and a t-shirt with Satoru’s face printed on it.

In his hand, a cup of steaming tea.

“I thought that was you. How are you still awake?”

——

Your head was rested on his shoulder, his arm comfortingly wrapped around your shoulders, snuggled comfortably onto the sofa with one empty cup, the other half-way drunk on the coffee table before you.

“And? What happened then?” He softly inquired, voice soothing and gentle as he tenderly prodded your thoughts.

“You all… Were dead…” You began, a sniffle already squeezed out of you. The thought making you want to cry all over again.

“I- I could never handle… Losing any of you…” Your grip tightened itself around his shirt, hand over where his beating heart was, as you buried yourself into his shoulder, trying to press yourself closer to him.

“It’s okay.” He whispered. “I’m here. We’re all here.” His other hand came up to wipe at your tears.

“That will never happen.” He continued to say, hearing your breaths starting to slow and even out.

He was about to continue, until the door to the room was creaked open.

“Suguruuuuuuu, why’d you leavveee meeeee?” A whining Satoru has just awoken from Suguru’s bed. His eyes were still closed, had it made it all the way here just by feeling for his boyfriend’s cursed energy?

Then he must’ve sensed yours too.

Dressed in a shirt printed with Suguru’s sleeping face, and a similar pair of sweatpants, he creaked open his eyes. Picking up Suguru’s half-empty cup and downing the remainder of it.

You felt Satoru plop onto the couch right beside you, snuggling his face into your chest before he stretched over the length of both your and Suguru’s legs, placing his head on Suguru’s lap as he splayed his legs out on your own lap.

(The menace even reached out for your hand, holding it in his own as his eyes closed back, smiling as he threaded his fingers through yours.)

A cuddle pile.

He spoke, feeling Suguru stroke his hair.

“Ya just woke up from a bad dream?” It was an inquiry, tender and laced with a hint of worry.

You remain silent. He understands.

“Don’t,” He yawns, feeling comforted by Suguru’s hand. “Don’t worry…”

“We’re the strongest, after all…” He fell back asleep. How strong of him.

Suguru nods, a smile on his face.

“He’s right, you know?” A kiss to your forehead.

“We are the strongest.”

You think the tea was starting to kick in. Why was there such a warm, soothing feeling within you? You felt the lids of your eyes begin to grow heavy, Suguru opening his free arm more allow your head to loll onto his chest, holding you close as your eyes begin to shut.

You like being here.

masterlist

Notes:

Suguru has trouble sleeping due to the bad aftertaste from swallowing curses. It’s disgusting, the taste haunts his mouth and he gags at the reminder of it.

It was Satoru’s idea to get his and Suguru’s faces printed on shirts. The photo he used for himself was one of him looking charming, whilst Suguru’s photo was one of him drooling onto Satoru’s pillow. The shirts are very high quality, and very expensive.

There is an extra shirt in your size with both of their photos printed on it hidden in Suguru’s closet.

Satoru finds it hard to sleep without a certain someone in bed. If Suguru is awake, they’ll both just sleep on the couch in the shared living room area.

Shoko was the one to find all three of you cuddled into each other asleep on the sofa. She got a blanket she draped over you as she drank her coffee, taking a photo of all three of you that she sent to both Suguru and Satoru.

See? She can be nice. But they both owe her a favour now.

May I please request headcanons for Shanks, Sanji, and Ace reacting to their female S/O who's captain of her own crew being betrayed by one of her crewmates which greatly affects her since it causes most of her crew to die?

I will definitely see what can do with writing about them, since the request does sound interesting to write about😁👍 While I have written about Sanji before the other two I haven't, it sounds like good ideas for the request😃👍

🏴‍☠️His Reaction To His Female S/O Captain, (Female Reader) Being Betrayed By Someone Who Was One Of Her Crewmates🏴‍☠️(Every One Piece Character That is Requested For This Head Cannon fanfic x female reader)

Genres: Head Cannon(?) and Angst To Comfort (Warning⚠️: Trigger Warning (Mentions Of Murder))

⭐New Character For Me to Write About⭐

Shanks

*When Shanks first found out you were betrayed by one of your crewmates who has murdered most of your crew, he was actually shocked about it, however he tries his best to keep his cool. So, he decided to focus on you, your crew, your wounds, and your well-being. After all he figured it's the least he can do for you, even tough he's willing to do more than that for you.

*Shanks made his decision to have his crew (and himself) to stay in the village he bumped into you in, after the attack the crew member who betrayed you and your whole crew. He knew you blamed yourself for not seeing the traitor who's attack you never saw coming, which is why he assigned the rest of his crew to take care of the crew members who are still alive that he assigned his crew members to, while he assigned himself to take care of your wounds and well-being. He didn't assign himself with you just because you're his s/o, however he is also a captain of his crew just, as well as you are of your crew, plus he felt it's his job to take care of your wounds and well-being, after all.

*As time went by with Shanks taking care of your wounds and well-being (by frequent reassurance that nothing was your fault and you couldn't have known that the crew member who betrayed you would be a traitor of your crew and other stuff he reassured you with), the progress of your physical healing and the healing of your well-being has been going much better than he could ever expect. He knew you would heal with your wounds and your well-being, however he's surprised things went better than he thought. You confessed to him that you believe that it was his words and how he took care of your wounds helped you heal quickly, then you would thank him for taking great care of you and giving you reassurance often, as both you and Shanks hugged eachother, as the rest of his crew and the remaining members of your crew who are still alive, cheered with glee while celebrating your recovery.

Sanji

*When it comes to someone betraying your crew (and the crew member who turned out to be the traitor himself killing the most of your crew), Sanji is someone who be very upset. He will feel sad for you, considering you are is s/o. He also will be outraged that one of your crew members betraying the rest of your crew (you, included). Despite of Sanji not being a captain of his own crew, he does have negative mixed emotions (from sadness to anger) about your crew being betrayed by someone who was not only your crew mate, however this crew mate who is the traitor was also some you have trusted the most out of your crewmates of your own crew, which Sanji is aware of more than anyone else surprisingly.

*Sanji and Luffy both happily agreed on have you the the remaining members of your crew who are still alive stay on "The Sunny" (The Strawhat crew's ship), as long as you and the remaining crew members left alive need to and/or stuff like that. You (ofcourse) will be in the same room, as Sanji, because of the fact you are his s/o, so this will definitely help you with your well and he will be able to comfort you easier with more time together. There will be plenty of times where Sanji will prepare meals to surprise you and the remaining crew members (who are still alive), because your crew definitely enjoys his cooking, however you love his cooking the most. So, needless to say that he really wants to take care of your well-being and to feed you and the rest of your crew who are still alive.

*Sanji knew you and the remaining members of your crewmates who are still alive would be happy about his cooking and feel better from eating his food, however he is also surprised that everytime you and the other crew members who are still alive eat his cooking, you and the living members of your become more happier, as if the food has has some magic powers to heal your well-being (and the well-being of the rest of your crewmates who are alive). Tony Tony Chopper explained to Sanji, the rest of the Strawhats, you, and your crew members who are still alive about the ingredients that was in Sanji's cooking and how Sanji cooked the food has helped with your well-being for some reason. You and Sanji both were surprised the most about what his cooking did for your well-being, despite of the ingredients Sanji put in his cooking, what he put in the food, and you enjoying his cooking, while feeling more happier from eating his cooking, than you (and Sanji) expected.

⭐New Character For Me To Write About⭐

Portagas D. Ace

*Out the three, Ace knows what it's like for his crew (His Captain Edward Newgate, aka White Beard in the very same crew, as Ace) to have a crewmate betrayed by a crewmate, while having that same crewmate who turned out to be a traitor kill any of the other crewmates in his crew. After all, he definitely remembers full well Marshall D. Teach, aka Black Beard betrayed the White Beard Pirate crew when Teach killed Thatch for Teach to get his devil fruit powers from eating the devil fruit called the "Dark-Dark Fruit". So, ofcourse Ace would be very angry at the crewmate who betrayed your crew to the point he really was about to avenge you (and the rest of your crew due to your crew being betrayed.

*Despite of Ace not being captian of the White Beard Pirates and you being the captain of your crew, he most definitely has empathy for you. Even tough he wants to get revenge on the crewmate who betrayed you and anyone else in your crew, your safe and your well-being would most certainly come first (and the remaining crew members left alive, also). So, if he does see you emotionally breakdown or trying to hold your emotions in or both or maybe anything similar to both, he will comfort you the best way he possibly can and he will hug you when you need it. He definitely knows when things are bothering you, especially on how much being betrayed by one of the crewmates you did have betray the rest of your crew (including, you).

*Ace will come snuggle with you often, as your snuggle time with him will comfort you by alot, however he is also someone who will also keep an eye on you alot (he will also check on the rest of your crew who are left alive), atleast until your well-being recovers to the point where he wouldn't have to worry about you, as much (even tough he still will, anyways) and where you are becoming yourself again. Not only the rest of the crew you have left and Ace will notice the difference with you in a good way, however you will also notice that you and your well-being has been healing more and more each day. Despite this Ace will also keep checking on you to makesure your well-being keeps getting better and staying better (and it's also out of his love for you and you being his s/o).

🏴‍☠️The End🏴‍☠️

I’m Not Happy, So Why Should They All Be?

Summary: It was exactly twenty years ago when the mysterious Ramchackle perfect had tragically died. And this day was a heartfelt reunion of all the NRC students that attended twenty years ago with the human. But their spirit still unknowingly lingers around the school. Envious, Hateful, and upset with the world and especially Dire Crowley the fool who had them stuck here and left for dead. How will they all react to the vengeful spirit of their beloved friend who isn’t the same as they used to be? Why not take a look and see?

My main inspiration for this was a song from that new-ish Scrooge movie called “ Tell me” …It’s good what can I say

Warning: Angst

You stared out the window. Still in the same spot you’ve been for years. Sitting and staring in hatred. Hatred for being trapped in this stupid school. Hatred for dying. Hatred for never being reunited with your family. Hatred for just seeing students walking so gleefully around campus. So happy with their friends as you rot here forgotten by the people you risked your life for. Why did things end this way? Well that stupid Crow named Crowley did this to you! Your mental state and body when you were alive was deteriorating so bad that it killed you. All the work you’ve done. And everything you did was for nothing. All of it was reminders of what you lost. You had everything taken away from you. Because of that stupid crow!

“ ____ it’s been years why not join us by the fire? Some stupid kids forgot to put it out.” The chubbier of the other ghosts chuckled beckoning you to get away from the window.

“ Yeah! It’s so boring to spend eternity with you! All you ever do is stare out that window!” The skinny one commented.

“ You all know they’ll never leave that window. It’s sad to see them become so hateful over the years. __ used to be such a happy person.” The smallest of the group said knowing that you’re not even going to bother joining them.

Processing his words you smiled. Clenching your teeth at his comment. Why should you be happy?

You started to chuckle at his words “ I used to be happy? Tell me then…Tell me why should I be happy again?”

“ Why should I be happy!? I had everything taken from me the moment I set foot here! I had my whole life stolen because of some incompetent man! Every year I have to go through seeing people walk so happy out of here while I’m stuck to rot with you three! Go on tell me! I’m DYING to hear your reasoning!” You screamed turning out of your seat for once in twenty years.

You were boiling with rage. How would they ever know what you’re going through! Don’t they know you have your reasons? You just want to get back at that asshole. For all the pain he caused you. For everything he took away. You want him to suffer just like you have for these years. To fully understand the pain you’ve gone through.

“ Shhhh! We’re not supposed to be here! It sucks that those old NRC students are hogging the mirror chamber!” A random student said shushing his friends.

“….Old NRC students you say?” You appeared in front of the students startling them.

“Ah ah ah~,” you sang “ No need to scream I just want some information about these old students. Won’t you help a poor old soul out?” You asked him putting on your best friendly smile in years.

They hesitantly explained that it was some students from twenty years ago. Crowley had gathered them all for some kind of reunion. It was also about “ some human that dyed here too”. Now that’s interesting. You’d figured they all forgotten about you. Why not pay your old friends a visit…Maybe your vengeance will go a lot easier? Hopefully so you’d hate to leave them all ghosted after all these years.

“ So it’s been a while huh?” The blue haired man of the group asked.

“ Yeah, ever since the incident we haven’t really spoken that much…how’s life going?” Ace sighed looking at the three other man.

“ Same as always guarding Waka-Sama!” Sebek exclaimed pridefully.

“ I’m surprised we got out of touch in all honesty heh…Jack is that a ring!?” Epel exclaimed.

“ Took you long enough, but yes I have two kids and a beautiful wife.” He chuckled as the small group went into chaos after all these years apart they had still never really changed.

As the group was fawning over Jack being married and Ace losing his bet to Deuce a certain red head had bumped into someone.

“ Cater? I haven’t seen you in years! I’m so sorry!” Riddle exclaimed apologizing for bumping into the other red head.

“ Riddle…wow you’ve grown. Literally you used to be such a short little queen. You remember that little crown you used to wear? And those boots!” He chuckled as the red head rolled his eyes.

“ GoldFishie~! It’s been sooooo long! And here I thought you wouldn’t show up Mister “ I work in court now Floyd I can’t just stop by and get you free of all your charges!” A certain eel huffed.

“ Floyd on the surface what you did to that man is considered a felony! You know things are different up here.” A certain octopus sighed pushing his glasses up.

“ In my defense he told me he was into it!” He retorted.

“ Silver!” A white tall man with a short beard gasped going to hug the eel.

“ Hello Kalim. It’s been a while huh?” Silver asked reciprocating the hug from the now very tall and muscular white haired emperor.

They all chatted so gleefully with their old friends. So unaware of the familiar eyes that followed them all.

“ Malleus…so the fucks been up with you?” Leona asked as he took a sip of his beer.

“ …The “fuck” that has been up with me has been very well Kingscholar I hope the same for you.” The draconian king replied glancing at the lion.

“ I’ve actually been great. I have three kids and a wife surprisingly.” He proudly bragged.

“ Leona Kingscholar…I should have known the reek of alcohol was coming from you…please don’t tell me you’re drunk.” The actress sighed.

“ I wish, but my lovely wife said I could only have one beer.” He smirked holding up his ring finger to the model.

The three chatted away a few insults and eye rolls following through their conversation. Looks like they all still haven’t changed that much except for appearances.

“ Idia…I really wish you were still introverted from how much of a workaholic you are now.” The younger aground sighed seeing his brother still working on files.

“ Well they aren’t going to get themself done! Why does there always have to be so much work!? How the hell did our dad even get this shit done!?” The oldest shroud complained as they finally came to the reunion.

“Aye! Jamil how’s it been?” The hyena asked the taller man.

“ Busy. I’ve just been traveling around everywhere you know what about you?” Jamil questioned with a tilt to his head.

“ I’m finally financially stable! I can afford to get donuts whenever I want pretty much!” He said.

“ I’m so happy to hear Ruggie.” Jamil smiled.

Well isn’t everyone just living the dream. So happy and free. Just living as if they were all kings.

“ Rose Chevailer! I haven’t seen you in so long!” The hunter dramatically exclaimed starting Trey and Jade.

“ I know it’s been quite a while.” Trey said.

“ Indeed, I wished it would have stayed that way though Rook.” Jade said through his fake smile.

“ Oh, please don’t tell me you’re still mad about what happened.” He sighed.

“ Rook ,Jade couldn’t walk for a week because you saw a bird on a hicking trip and let go of the rope holding him up!” Trey said rubbing his temples.

“ I just wanted to point at it Rose Chevalier.” He pleaded as the Leech twin rolled his eyes.

Eventually all the talking throughout the Mirror Chamber came to a stop as the Headmadge spoke up silencing the large crowd. Every single member of the students from twenty years ago were here. Sure a few were missing, but still the crowed looked as big as it did the day you had awoken inside one of the coffins. Each and everyone you knew was there. It was all perfect everything except for the bastard that damned you that was still breathing was ruining seeing them all. He decided to even conduct a speech. But suddenly it had turned to you.

“ As we all know twenty years ago we had all lost an astounding member of Night Raven College. They were seen as a friend to all.” He spoke as you rolled your eyes.

“ But today isn’t about them.” He stated as you stared him down inside of the large Mirror” Today is about the success of each and every single one of you. After such a devastating travesty…” he continued as you heard enough.

Everyday you say your grave and never have you once seen him at it. Even the top part of your headstone broken off and he payed no mind to it. What the hell is he trying to do?

After he finished his dreadful speech everyone clapped. As it echoed throughout the room you couldn’t stand it. What did he mean by it isn’t about you!? You don’t want to be forgotten you can’t be! All of this is his fault he should be haunted by the guild and scared for life by what he had done to you. He should…He should have his life ruined right now. He should be scared just by seeing you. He should be crying and pleading for mercy right now. But not yet no…you wanna wait to have a little fun first.

“Well it was nice seeing you all.” Jack said as the others agreed.

As everyone started to bid their goodbyes you decided to select a few fae, madges, merman, and beastman to steal an important item from.

“ Shit!” Were’s my ring?” Leona groaned as he looked under another table.

“ I can’t find my phone!” Idia said as his brother sighed.

“ Floyd did you steal the key to my safe again? You know that isn’t a funny prank at all!” Azul questioned the Eel.

“ Hey were’s!?” And “ Did you see!” Rang as if it were a chorus throughout the now echoing room.

“ How the do you loose your wedding ring?” Vil asked.

“ Oh wait I think I just reminded where I put it! Up your fat-.” “ Now now, let’s not fight Kingscholar try to retrace your steps.” Malleus interrupted.

You smiled seeing that they were all here. It was like a gift just for you. A very special new toy you finally got after begging your parents for. A special gift that will finally perhaps put your soul to rest after all these tormenting years.

Soon enough the candles started flickering throughout the room catching the attention of the crowd. As the lights slowly started to fade away a new light shown through the mirror. A burning bright blue light that emerged a figure through the mirror. While a haunting voice laughed at the fear shown upon their “friends faces”. As the laughter stopped a groggy very horse voice called out to them as they all distanced themselves away from the mirror ready to fight whatever was coming out of it. As the bloody ink poured out your mouth while you coughed it up looking at the mortified faces of your friends staring them all straight in the eyes with a devilishly wide smile.

“ What’s the matter? I’d thought you’d all look a lot happier to see me. And to think I waited so dreadfully long to see your faces again.” You sadly sighed.

The silence of shock and horror filled the room as you got up brushing yourself off. Not that it would do much to be honest.

“Oh come on do I have to break my back just to get a word out of any of you!? Weeeellll!?” You huffed getting frustrated with their silence.

They should be happy to see you again. After all you helped them all so much they should atleast say hi for all you’ve ever done for them.

“____ is that really you?” Ace said slowly walking towards you.

“ No I’m the ghost of your extended warranty come to tell you that- OF COURSE ITS ME! After twenty years I’d expect you to be atleast a bit smarter. Did you and Deuce just seperate for so long you got dumber?” You questioned as the red head broken down in tears racing toward you to tackle you down into a hug.

“ Oh! It is you!” Ace cried as the rest of your group joined.

You didn’t know what to do at this moment. You expected some kind of revulsion to your decaying appearance. Some kind of screaming and tears of fear. But right now all there was is the crying of your dearest friends happy to see you. Even Sebek the man who always thought he was more superior than you was on his knees hugging you telling you how much he missed you. It was all so perfect almost too perfect…. If this is a dream you hoped it never ended. You never wanted to wake up again if it meant they acknowledged you once again as an actual person. It was odd to for once be the person of trouble and being comforted. You wished it was always like this when you were living. But it wasn’t now was it?

You woke up gasping for air hyperventilating as you panicked looking around. You looked at your shaking hands. They were fine. They weren’t decaying you weren’t decaying at all. You were perfectly fine. But why were you in the nurses office in one of the beds…

“ No no no!” You cried.

“ ___! You’re finally…are you ok?” Ace asked rushing over to you seeing your panicked state.

“ No…I wanna just go home!” You cried out.

You didn’t want to be here anymore. This was the third time being in the nurses office because you overworked yourself. You’re scared. You don’t want to dyne because you worked yourself to death. You just wanted to see your family and friends from where you came from. As the red head was signaling something to someone or some people behind the doorway to stop you just sat there crying.

You’re never going back home and that’s the truth.

Sorry but I just really wanted to write for twst! I haven’t in a while and I’m on a crazy for it right now! I hope you all enjoyed this angstful story!

I've noticed you prefer writing for Ace and Sabo but if it's not a bother can I request law x reader. Heavy angst, where law breaks up with his s/o (fem preferably) before leaving to take down doffy and says some nasty things just to hurt her. When in reality he just doesn't want her to follow him because it's dangerous?!? With a Happy ending ig?

Warnings: angst, hurt/comfort, some fluff, happy ending.

Word Count: 1580

It’s not so much a preference, so much as that’s what people request, I write 90% of the requests I receive, so if I get a lot of Ace, I write a lot of Ace. 

Tears streamed down your cheeks, hand over your mouth as you stared at him in shock. Was he really breaking up with you? Was this really your Law? The same Trafalgar Law who had once told you he’d love you for an eternity, who said he’d do anything for you? The dark haired man glared at you, the same cold, hard glare he gave people he hated.

“What? Nothing to say? Are you really so shocked? You’re such a naive little girl, believing every word I said. This is what I hate about you, you’re weak, you’re naive, you can’t ever seem to do anything right.” Law scoffed, shoving his hands in his pockets and looking away, “I don’t even know why I’m wasting my time here, clearly even someone as stupid as you can understand what’s happening. Your stuff is at the inn, the crew insisted I at least give you that much.” he said before walking away. You felt your legs give out, dropping to your knees as you tried to hold back the sobs. With his back finally to you, Law pulled his hat down over his eyes, tears starting to make their way down his own cheeks. He knew what he’d said had been harsh, but he needed you to hate him, to absolutely despise him. It was for your own good. He’d be facing some tough enemies soon, his plan to take out Doflamingo was going to be dangerous and he couldn’t have you caught in the crossfire. He loved you too much to allow that to happen. So he’d make you loathe him, make you never want to see him again, and it would break his heart every day. You’d slept by his side, listened to his past, and calmed him on his worst days. Never again, he’d never again sleep next to you, spend hours talking to you, feel your arms wrapped around him in comfort. He knew it would hurt, he knew that even in the off chance Doflamingo didn’t kill him, the pain of losing you very well might. But you’d be safe, that’s all that mattered was that you were safe. You were strong, you’d move on, you’d grow and change, you’d find happiness elsewhere, happiness that wasn’t with him. That thought struck a dagger through his heart. You wouldn’t be happy with him. The happiness that he’d wanted to share with you always was no longer something he could have. But he wouldn’t risk losing you to Doflamingo, he’d lost too many people already. His parents, his sister, Cora-san, he wouldn’t lose you too and especially not to Doflamingo. At least this way, even if he suffered for the rest of eternity, you’d be alive, you’d find happiness, and that’s what mattered. 

Slowly, you made your way to the inn and up to your room, the sobs finally escaping you as you collapsed onto the bed. You knew you weren’t the strongest person in the world, you knew you made mistakes, but you were only human. The things Law had said, however. Were you really that useless? Did he really hate you that much? It wasn’t until you’d cried yourself to sleep that the tears finally stopped, falling into a semi-peaceful slumber, one filled with dreams of happiness, happiness with Law by your side. But the moment you woke up, it all fell away, once more leaving you to sob as your heart bled. You desperately wanted to remove it, to rip your heart out, maybe then, maybe if you didn’t have a heart, maybe it wouldn’t hurt. But you couldn’t and it still did, leaving you with nothing to do but sob. Soaking the pillow with more tears.

It was months later that Law saw you again, having arrived at Dressrosa. At first he’d thought it was his mind playing tricks on him, then perhaps an illusion caused by one of Doflamingo’s men. Maybe even a trick by Doflamingo himself to try and get to Law. But it wasn’t. Nobody, no illusion, nothing could capture your beauty, the radiance that shone from your heart, the smile that seemed to light up every cell in his body. Worse yet were the things you knew, you knew things that nobody else knew, the things that you said to him as he stared at you in a mix of shock and pain. Sitting against a wall, hands chained behind your back, you stared at the floor. It had been a few weeks after Law had left you that Doflamingo found you. He insisted that Law still had a soft spot for you, that you were his weakness. So he took you with him to Dressrosa, not caring about your protests. You knew not to mess with the Warlord, having heard the many tales from Law, but he didn’t leave you with many options. Now here you were, once again in front of Law and proving that you were just as weak as he’d said you were. The tears came back again, as they always did, spilling over the man who didn’t love you.

“Let her go! She isn't a part of this!” Law demanded, though his words barely reached you.

“Oh but that’s where you’re wrong. I know how much you care for her, how you’d do anything for her. You tried to drive her away, tried to make everyone think you hated her. That’s why you broke up with her in the middle of a crowded street in a big city, it’s why you made it so obvious, so everyone would know that you didn’t have a weakness. But I know you Law, I know it was all just an act, did you really think I wouldn’t find out? That you could fool me?” Doflamingo chuckled, using his strings to pull you close, “maybe I should teach you a lesson, teach you why you shouldn’t get too close to people.” you felt something pressing against your neck, a small trickle of blood slowly making its way down.

“Leave her out of this!” Law shouted, struggling against the sea stone cuffs as best he could. He knew he couldn’t deny it, not to Doflamingo, so he’d try and save you, try and keep you alive, but the sea stone was draining his energy and he couldn’t do anything to save you.

“I mean nothing to him, Doflamingo, please, just… just kill me quickly. I’m already dead.” you muttered, the tears falling faster. You didn’t want to suffer, but you felt like you’d died the day the Law had broken your heart and left you on that island. 

“I don’t think you realize how wrong you are, you mean everything to him and he’d do anything to not see you hurt, all the more reason to kill you slowly. I’m sure your agonized screams will tear him apart.” he said with a chuckle. Hesitantly, you looked up at Law, seeing the concern in his eyes. His hatred for Doflamingo had taken a backseat to his love and worry for you. You were in trouble and he desperately wanted to save you. Despite his best efforts, he couldn’t lie to you about this. He couldn’t hide his feelings for you, not when you could be killed at any moment, the light of his life snuffed out in an instant. A sob escaped your lips as he mouthed the three little words to you. He always did that when you were out in public, telling you he loved you without saying the words aloud. A crash drew your attention away from Law, the room suddenly becoming a scene of chaos.

Law held you close, your face buried in his chest, hands gripping his shirt while he stroked your hair, placing small kisses to the top of your head.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry for everything.” he whispered now that the two of you had a moment alone. You could hear the regret in his voice as easily as you could feel him shaking as he held you, “I couldn't protect you. I tried to keep you away from the battle, tried to keep you safe, but I broke your heart and still put you in harm's way. I’m sorry, I don’t deserve your forgiveness, but I’m so sorry.” Law said, trying to hold back his tears. You just shook your head, confusing him as you wrapped your arms around him, holding him closer, hands grabbing fistfulls of his clothes as you clung to him, as if he’d disappear if you didn’t.

“I can’t stay mad at you, I never could. It hurt, it hurt so bad, but I couldn’t, I can’t, hate you. I can’t not forgive you because you love me. You love me so much that you were willing to break your own heart for me. I hate what you did, I think you’re the world’s biggest idiot, but I love you too much.” you mumbled, your own tears starting to seep into his clothing, “just please, please don’t try and do things by yourself anymore, don’t try and cut me out of your life anymore. I can’t help but love you and I want to be by your side.” you said, feeling him nod, his head resting on yours.

“Never again, I promise, I swear I’ll keep you with me forever.” he swore, the two of you just standing in the field of flowers, holding each other as you enjoyed being reunited and together again.

Sejak episode 13

(hi I changed my url)

Such a cop out… she really did the old "getting stabbed to get out of trouble" routine… (Seriously though, please tell me I’m not the only one who’s feeling kinda deprived of that high stakes angst?? Yi In is really the king of lettings things slide)

Horrific backstory, as expected. But I find it hard to accept that Dong is into Yi In for real because to me they always had more of a demi/ace solidarity vibe. She was so tense that night when they were instructed to have sex and like turned her face away a lil bit when he was swooping down to kiss her? Idk, I don't buy it. But I guess they need a jealous second female lead to stir shit up for these next three episodes

Sense of humor was distributed very unfairly in this family, I must say

Oh to be an uinyeo dragged off by Dong sanggung into a dark and empty alley! 🥰

Lmao my girl really did not need to spill this tea but she was just dying to do it. Forget about the bribes and the threats, this is the breathless excitement of someone who NEEDS to talk about this crazy thing that happened to her because it's the juiciest gossip of the century

He's so fucking unsettling to me and I only just figured out why!! He has the exact same nosy, micromanaging, everything-is-my-business attitude as my boss at uni

He baduk:ed her all this time??

I'm so happy that she finally gets to explain her motives. This was such an amazing monologue. "The man whom I love revealed his true nature before me, as a treacherous and depraved king just as I have long known. And yet, my love for you did not diminish. Instead of diminishing, it only grew so painfully strong that it swayed me. That is why I decided to assassinate you." Yessssss girl I love this!!

Dad is alive!!! I mean of course he is but yay! The maid is a very good actor btw, love that she's not just playing a comic relief servant character but has actual depth and maturity to her.

Such a sexy speech!!!

Vampire Quirk! Reader || BNHA x you

plot: the reader has a vampirism Quirk that they hide from everyone because they are afraid of being hurt. the reader doesn't let anyone get close to them until Aizawa convinces them to make friends. the reader befriends the dekusquad and reveals their quirk; hurt/comfort

tws: blood, bullying, murder, slight angst

DO NOT COPY MY WORK!! THIS IS ORIGINAL. IF YOU SEE SOMEONE TAKING THIS AS THEIR OWN, LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY.

Your first memory after being reincarnated was being covered in blood. You weren't a very lucky person in your last life, so naturally, it would transfer over to this one. Your parents in this life were caught up in some shady shit and because of that, it nearly killed you. It was at that time you received your Quirk.

One moment you were watching television with your family, and the next you were a murderer. It was shocking, to say the least. You didn't remember what happened. According to the autopsy, the blood of one man had crystalized and blocked the arteries in his body, leading to his death, the second was boiled alive, and the last was a mystery. The reports said that he was found impaled in several places and that you, a six-year-old, were found drenched in the substance and had consumed some of it.

It was shortly after that you realized that you had been reincarnated into BNHA. Aizawa Shota, aka Pro-Hero Eraserhead, was deemed your legal guardian and had trained you to become a Hero. You aced the entrance exam, thanks to the vials of blood you kept on your person, and landed yourself in Class 1-A. In fact, today was the first day of your second year.

"Oi, problem child." Aizawa's voice calls just before you leave for lunch, "You need to make friends. You can't be alone for the rest of your life."

"But-"

"Don't give me the 'what if I hurt them' shit. You've got a good grasp of your Quirk. Go make some damn friends." The man grumbles, clearly concerned about you.

You reluctantly nodded. You kept how your Quirk operated a secret from your classmates, afraid of rejection and opening yourself up to being hurt. It's happened too many times in the past. You were bullied all throughout elementary and middle school because of your deceased family members and the Quirk you received. None of that was your fault but the words still stung.

Those words embedded themselves in your mind and built walls around your heart. After years of hearing it, you grew to believe those same words. You refused to talk to anyone outside of Aizawa and the few Heroes he was friends with. You never allowed anyone to get close to you. It was better that way... or so you thought.

When you mustered up the courage to sit with Midoriya a few weeks later, he was nothing short of kind to you. It was the same with Iida, Uraraka, and Todoroki. In fact, you grew closer to them over the next few months. It took some time to build up trust and find the courage to get over the fears of your Quirk, so when you finally took that leap, you were terribly afraid.

You were afraid of being shut out again. Afraid of being hurt again. Afraid of being rejected and having to build those walls back up. Nevertheless, you still did it.

"Do you guys... want to know how my Quirk operates?" Were the words you mumbled.

"[L-Last Name]-san, are you sure? You don't have to feel-"

"I'm sure." No, I'm not.

The table is silent for a few moments, giving you time to gather your thoughts.

"My Quirk is called... Vampire."

You take a deep breath, forcing your eyes down as you begin to explain. "I'm able to manipulate blood in its entirety. I can heat it up, chill it, sharpen it, harden it, and crystalize it. I'm able to move it around and form certain shapes. However, I'm only able to do this after I ingest blood. I carry a few vials of blood with me everywhere I go for that reason."

After you finish, you begin to fidget with your fingers. Your friends remained silent for a few moments, though it felt like hours to you. You knew what was going through their heads.

"I'm sorry, I need to use the bathroom." You stand suddenly, throwing out your lunch and making your way to the restroom. Slamming the stall door closed, you slide down the wall and cover your mouth with the back of your hand.

I'm so fucking stupid. Just because they aim to be heroes, why would they be any different?

Tears fill your lashline and spill over, carving a trail down your cheeks. The ache in your chest is back and you wanted it gone; You decided you'll just avoid them until you can patch yourself up again... and that's exactly what you did.

They tried texting and calling, but you never answered. You didn't even look at their messages.

They tried to catch you at school, but you always managed to get away somehow.

They tried to have someone else talk to you, but you managed to avoid them too. You didn't even look at them anymore. You just caved back in on yourself. You were so afraid of rejection that you didn't realize they meant well.

It was a few weeks later that they managed to corner you. You were already home from school and Aizawa said he'd be coming home late as he had some tests to grade. You didn't think he'd bring company.

"Oi, problem child. Come downstairs." Aizawa calls from the bottom of the stairwell. Heaving a sigh, you trudge down the steps, playing (mobile game). When you look up, all color leaves your face.

"W-What are you guys doing here?

Standing before you was none other than Midoriya, Todoroki, Iida, and Uraraka. They looked... pained.

This is getting ridiculous. I'm avoiding them for a reason.

"[Last Name]-san, can we talk?"

"Oi, don't give them a choice," Aizawa grumbles, turning to you. "You are gonna sit and talk whatever the hell happened out. You're not leaving this room until then."

With that, Aizawa leaves the room. You hesitantly take a seat opposite the four, wringing your fingers nervously as you direct your gaze to the floor.

"[Last Name]... why aren't you talking to us?" Uraraka's voice is shaky as she speaks. "D-Did we do something wrong?"

You remain silent for a moment, then whisper, "Why are you here?"

"W-What do you mean? We want to-"

"Are you here to get on my good side? If you are, you can just leave."

"[Last Name], what are you talking about?" Midoriya asks quietly. You notice the tears in his eyes when you direct your attention to him.

"I get it, I have a Villain's Quirk for fuck's sake. Terrifying isn't it? You guys don't have to worry about me hurting you because I'm not gonna repeat the past... So just fucking leave me alone. I'll be a hero and we'll go our separate ways after school. Just forget I even told you anything." You abruptly stand, making for the door.

"[Last Name]. You don't have a villain's Quirk." Todoroki says firmly. "There's no such thing as a 'Hero Quirk' or a 'Villain Quirk'. Your Quirk doesn't define you as a person and we never thought otherwise."

"Bullshit. If that were true, then why the fuck were you guys so fucking quiet when I told you."

"Because we thought it was cool! You have an amazing Quirk, [Last Name]!" Uraraka shouts, tears filling her eyes as well.

"It's not, Uraraka! I've had to hide this shit from everyone because it's a fucking curse! I've fucking murdered people!" Your voice booms, angry tears rolling down your cheeks.

"You were protecting yourself, [Last Name]-san!" Iida finally speaks up.

"Aizawa told us about the report. Your family was murdered and your Quirk manifested to protect you. Why can't you see how amazing your Quirk is?" Todoroki steps forward. "Why would we leave you because you protected yourself, [Last Name]?"

"Because that's what everyone does! Everyone has left me because of it! It's a fucking curse and I... I..." An ugly sob erupts from your throat, knees sinking to the floor. "I can't let myself be hurt again. Please, just leave me alone."

Silence ensues once more. Various sniffles and shuddering breaths are heard before you feel arms wrap around you. Then someone else, and someone else, until all four have their arms around you. The action causes you to cry harder, struggling to free yourself.

"Stop, please. I cant... You'll just hurt me again. I-"

"[Last Name], we aren't going anywhere. I'm so sorry that you had to go through that. It wasn't fair at all, but we're your friends. We care about you so much. Please let us be here for you..." Midoriya cries. The five of you stay like that for a while before three bodies leave your side, settling on the couch. You feel someone shift in front of you, lifting your chin with two fingers. Todoroki's eyes meet yours, tears budding at his lashline.

"I love you, [Name]. I love you so much it hurts." His voice cracks, fading into a whisper. "I... Let me help you. Please."

Todoroki pushes your head against his chest, holding you close as quiet sobs rack through his body. He presses a kiss to the crown of your head, then rests his face in the crook of your neck, mumbling a string of pleas. Latching onto him, you mumble, "Okay."

The other three in the room immediately embrace you again, holding you tightly, afraid you'd close yourself off again if they didn't.

Just outside the door, a proud father smiles, pushing himself off of the wall, and heads to the kitchen to make some coffee and order dinner...

↳ series masterlist

“How’s classes going?”

“Oh, you know,” You mumbled brushing your fake bangs out of your face, “It’s class.”

“I owe you a ton, for this. Thanks, sis.”

“Don’t mention it…” You trailed, holding the phone against your ear and shoulder as you finished a calculus equation, smiling in triumph when the question ends up being right.

“How’s volleyball? Did you girls figure out a way to get funding?”

You scoffed, “Yeah, something like that.”

“Well, that’s good right? You don’t sound so excited?”  

“No, I am, “ you sighed, “It’s just, hard yenno, not easy… being compared to your ex? Just tired of from practicing so much…”

Your very first try out was two days ago, you had never been so excited. You had been running every morning and practicing drills by yourself to prepare yourself for the battlefield that is the volleyball court. You were confident that you would have made the team—that was until you actually watched the starting line up play a game. You had gotten to the gym early, in hopes that you would be able to practice some more drills, but you were beaten by the starting line up.

Of course, Jungkook, Jimin, and Taehyung were part of the starting lineup. They were accompanied by Choi Beomgyu, who was the team’s designated Libero (who played extremely well, which was not what you were expecting from the boy that embodies the definition of sloth); along with a kid named Yeonjun who also played Middle block, and Taehyun who played right-side. You had always known Ridgecrest was prideful of their men’s volleyball team, but you were not expecting them to be this good…

“First off,” Your brother scoffs, “Fuck Seokjin, I don’t care that he’s older than me, he had no right to treat you like that… I hope they lose against Ridgecrest again! We all know that they’re so much better than our volleyball team anyways.”

It was true; you did know these boys were good. You had a taste of their talent at the annual homecoming games between Cypress and Ridgecrest, and because you were the star player’s girlfriend (at the time), you were obligated to attend.

“No, you’re right, Hobi,” You sighed, “I just hope we – I mean, Ridgecrest wins this time around… From what I’ve been hearing is that Jin and Namjoon have been getting service aces left and right… Which never happened before. I guess I’m just a little worried.”

“Dunno, maybe they’re on some black magic shit.”

“I’m serious, Hobi, I don’t think I – I mean Ridgecrest stands a chance, I’ve seen them and how they deal with serves, it takes them a bit to get used to it.” You sulked.

Hoseok tsked, “Have a little faith, Y/n.” You hear your brother sigh, “But if anyone can beat Cypress, and beat them bad, it’s Ridgecrest.”

“Damn,” You giggled, “America’s changing you already? You’re so positive!”

“Aiiish, you’re such a twerp! I’m a ray of sunshine, I’m always positive!”

══════ ∘◦❀◦∘ ══════

“Are you sure you were an Ace?”

It has now been well over a week of practices, and while you thought you were getting better, it seemed that the starting line up of boys were getting just as good, just as fast. To say you were irritated was an understatement. You knew you had a disadvantage—being a female against ginormous boys definitely has it’s difficulties—but it didn’t help that you were endlessly being teased by Jimin; Taehyung and Jeongguk had their moments, but for the most part they just went along with the shorter man, laughing when he made a snide comment on your height.

“Do you ever get tired of being annoying?” You snarled, wiping the sweat off of your forehead, eyes glaring at the setter.

“Do you ever get tired of being annoying,” Jimin mocks, “As a matter of fact, I do not. Blehhhh.” Jimin pulls one of his cheeks down and sticks his tongue out at you, like the child he was.

You swear he reminds you of that one volleyball character on that one anime…

Tor-Torro? Oikama, was it? You couldn’t remember, but ironically enough—you were positive they played the same exact position.

“Can you stop tormenting the kid,” Taehyung swats Jimin’s head, earning a whiny Taehyung-ah, along with a pout.

“I’m not a kid!” You grunted out serving another ball over the net, that Beomgyu retrieved no problem. You tsked in annoyance and grabbed another.

“Your height could’ve fooled us.” Jeongguk snickers, easily serving a beautiful overhand serve, to which Beomgyu didn’t catch.

“Nice one, Kook!” Beomgyu utters out, eyeing the stary ball with a look of determination, “I’ll get the next one.”

“Do you boys ever get tired of, I don’t know, picking on me?”

“Nah.”

“You make it easy.”

“I barely pick on you, why am I being included?”

You could feel your blood boil as you toss up the ball, your feet quickly rushing forward to jump. As your feet left the ground, your body arches, coiling back and winding up for a hard hit. The adrenaline pumping through your veins echoed in your ears as the ball stops spinning for a brief moment, your arm making it’s way to strike the white ball. As your hand connects with the volleyball, like you always do, everything stilled.

Your eyes followed the quickness of the white ball, as it touches just the inside of the volleyball court, Beomgyu nowhere in sight, as you fall back to the ground, the sound of rubber hitting the floor harshly fills the quietness of the gym. Breathing heavily, cracking your neck to the side, your gaze drifts up to the libero; his eyes wide with shock, as he stared at the now stationary ball that sat behind the court, near the bleachers.

“Wh—”

“How?”

You turned around to see your three seniors staring gobsmacked at you. Feeling a sense of pride and confidence, you rolled your eyes.

“By the way,” You walked past them to grab another ball, “I did play Ace, and I was actually Cypress’s best.”

══════ ∘◦❀◦∘ ══════

“Jeon and Jung!”

You groaned, today had already sucked; the fact that practice ran later than normal this morning (which, really sucked because now, not only could you feel the dry sweat sticking to your body, but you weren’t able to do your normal morning routine where you were able to hide in a shower stall just at the end of the hallway of your dorm room, but when you had gone to check, that bathroom was out of order) but now you were partnered with one of the boys that mocked you.

“Alright, pair up,” Your professor claps, “and say hello to your partner for the rest of the semester! I expect you all to be mature adults and ready to work on the upcoming labs—starting with the first one on Thursday! Please have your pre-labs done, along with having read the material so that you’re well prepared to start right at 2. Don’t forget to cite any work that isn’t your own. I will be docking off a mark for those that do not cite their work.”  

As your professor finished her speech, the chair beside you scraped noisily beside you, indicating your partner’s presence.

“Yeah, yeah,” Jeongguk grunts at your figure, “I’m not thrilled either, Chibi-chan.”

“Do you ever get tired of pestering me about my height?”

“No.”

“I’m not even that short!” You exclaimed throwing your head back in anguish.

“Hm,” Jeongguk hums, turning to face you and giving your slouched body a once over, “still shorter than me.” He shrugs.

Above all the people your professor could pair you up with. It seriously had to be this guy. Really? What had you done in your past life to deserve this? Did you murder someone?

“Whatever, Jeon,” You uttered out, “let’s just get through this term.”

“Kinda hard when my partner doesn’t want any of my help,” He sneers.

“We haven’t even started!”

“And?”

“And…” You mocked him, “how do you even know I don’t want your help if we haven’t even started the stupid lab, dumbo?”

“And this is why you’re single.”  

“What, just cuz I called you a name? Grow up, Jeon.”

“If you hadn’t noticed, I’ve been growing, you however, have not.”

“Quit pestering me, you gigantic muscle-bunny.”

“You did not compare me to a fucking rodent.”

“If the shoe fits!”

“You’re such a—”

“Knock it off!” Beomgyu snarls causing the two of you to stare wide eyed at the libero who threw his hood up to continue his nap.

══════ ∘◦❀◦∘ ══════

“Again, Jung.” Coach Kai sighs, watching you miss another toss from Jimin.

You were drenched in sweat, body aching, and your feet was starting to swell in your shoes with the amount of jumping you had been doing. You didn’t want to admit it but it seemed that you just weren’t getting to the tosses fast enough.

The practice this morning had killed you. You were barely able to keep up with the boys this morning; after the full day of classes, how were they still so energetic?

It definitely didn’t help that Jeongguk was doing fuck all during the remainder of lab; you guys barely started the pre-lab and you had wanted to finish it before the weekend… Clearly that wasn’t happening—since you had a practice match at Nikoli this weekend. Coach Kai had bumped you up to their pinch server—the player that gets called to disrupt the flow of the match in hopes of favouring the players team for the rest of the game. You hadn’t ever been just a pinch server, but as long as you were a step closer to being a regular, you’d take it.

However, that’s easier said than done.

Jeongguk played annoyingly well. His line shots were are amazing. The amount of times during practice he’d get it perfectly on the line was annoying. He made hitting he ball look so effortless that you can’t help but watch him hit the ball. His blocks are insanely high, that you for sure would love to see him block one of Namjoon’s spikes. His serves… His serves were just as amazing… It’s no wonder he’s on the starting line up, he could do it all—better than you. He truly deserves the Ace title… but you’d never admit that out loud.

Taehyung’s blocks were no joke. From what you remembered from watching their games at Cypress, Taehyung and Jeongguk were considered the Iron Wall. One of the tallest blocks in the prefecture. It helped immensely that their verticals were much higher than the average verticals for their heights, but even so, their arms added onto the height. Their strategical blocking skills are the types of blockers you hated.

Back at Cypress the highest blockers in the prefecture for girls was, ironically, the girls team for Nikoli. You remembered losing to their team during your first year; this was the first game you had ever lost since coming onto the team. Euna played extremely well, getting the ball to you wherever you needed it; Somi receiving the ball each and every time… It had been you. You couldn’t get it past their blockers, you couldn’t find a way to slam the ball down on the other side of the court… You had always gotten shut out. That must’ve been the day you set out to become the best Ace in the prefecture. You worked on your shoulder mobility, becoming more fluid and flexible in your movements. You were thinking more rather than relying solely on instinct and intuition. You were determined to become the best; and the best is exactly what you became.

So, you can imagine how hard it is to start from the very bottom and work your way up. Especially with a new team.

Jimin’s sets are absolutely lethal; his precision on tossing the ball to his spikers were unmatched. He knew how to toss perfectly to his spikers—knowing the exact angle they want, and the perfect speed to get it to them. It hurt you to say it, but he was even better than Euna…

The only problem was that you’d never had this issue with Euna; her tosses were easy to hit, she made sure everyone was able to hit her tosses… Why was it so hard to hit Jimin’s?

“Jimin.” You huffed.

The setter turns to glance at you with his cat like eyes, “Hm?”

You sighed annoying, “Slow your toss when you pass to me.”

“Excuse me?”

The court was silent.

“I said,” You glanced up at him with tired eyes, “slow your tosses when you pass to me.”

“You want me… to slow my tosses?” Jimin hisses, “And why would I stoop to your level? I know my tosses are good.”

Furrowing your eyebrows, you crossed your arms, “I know your tosses are good—they’re great,” You huffed, “but, just slow them down for now. Let me get used to them.”

“And why should I fix my game play for someone who’s benched?”

Taehyung quickly puts out a hand between the two of you, “Hey, Chim, calm—”

“Cool it, Park.”

Your eyes widened when Jeongguk pushed through to where you and Jimin were, wiping off his sweat with a towel.

“Just give him a slower toss. It’s just a practice anyways, he’s not playing at homecoming.”

“Well, it’s my goal to.” You grunted, Coach Kai giving you a reassuring smile.

Coach Kai turns to Jimin, “Slow your tosses, Jimin. Let Jung get used to it, then pick up speed after, but for now respect his wishes; remember Park, it isn’t you that distinguishes how that ball goes over the net.”

Jimin’s cheeks turn a shade of pink as he bowed, uttering a got it coach, before turning around to continue a mock match with the rest of the team.

Coach Kai then turns to you, “You’ve got guts kid, telling Park to slow his toss the way you did.”

You shrugged, “I just want to play the best I can…”

“And about homecoming…” Coach pauses, “You could still make the starting line up if you show improvement. I’ve seen your receives and your blocks, you’ve got some crazy agility. You’ve also got monster serves… If you could find a way to fight mid-air better and be able to handle Jimin’s normal speed tosses… You could be the next Ace of Ridgecrest.”

You gave Coach Kai a toothy smile, “Got it coach!”

══════ ∘◦❀◦∘ ══════

“Oi.”

You peered up at the familiar voice of your teammate. You all had just finished up practicing—waiting for everyone to get out of the locker rooms, you sat in the lobby so you all could walk to the cafeteria together.

“Don’t ever tell me what to do.” Jimin snarls, shoving past you, “This is the only time I’ll slow my tosses; either get better or keep the bench warm, Jung. I won’t toss to someone that can’t win.”

Your gaze drops as you stare at the ground, avoiding all eye contact to the blond setter. The dull ache in your chest seeps its way to the surface as you bite your lip to prevent it from quivering more.

“Remember your place Jung; you just got here; you’re benched. I don’t know how it was at Cypress, but here, to make demands like that? You’ve got to be good.” Jeongguk bites.

“You say you were an ace? How can you be an Ace when you can barely keep up with our team? When you’re able to make amazing plays like the rest of us, then maybe, you can make demands like that. But until then,” Jeongguk bumps your shoulder roughly, looking over his shoulder to glare at you, “you have no authority to ask any of us to jeopardize our plays to accommodate you.”

Refusing to look up, you could feel your eyes prickling with tears. You quickly wiped your eyes before feeling a hand upon your shoulder.

“Don’t listen to them,” Taehyung smiles gently, “you got really good in one practice, they’re just jealous… I think your soft serves can give us an advantage,” Taehyung nods his head in the direction of the rest of the team as he walks next to you.

“Not to mention you were able to hit Jimin’s tosses easier in the last half hour.”

“He’s a really good setter…” You whispered looking down at your feet.

“As he should be—he was the starting setter for All-Stars Korea.”

You stopped, “P-Park?” Taehyung nods, chuckling.

“Yeah—he had the opportunity to play last year in the 18 and under category,” Taehyung shrugs, “He’s really talented, he’s normally really perceptive when he sets, so he’s able to change his tosses based on who he’s setting to, but with you,” Taehyung moves to turn to face you, “he couldn’t tell your style of play. Communication is key when it comes to Jimin, he normally knows exactly the type of toss to give his spikers, but for some reason… He couldn’t pinpoint what tosses you could hit.”

Taehyung shrugs again, continuing towards the cafeteria, “Not that, that’s a bad thing, but…” Taehyung looks over his shoulder with a smirk, “that may be troublesome to opponents on the opposite side of the court.”

And then it clicks.

This was why you were so good; this is why you were the Ace. Euna and you have history, she’s been tossing to you since middle school—so she’s grown accustomed to your game play—to your decoy moves. She knows when you want the toss, and she knows how to lead the opponents into thinking someone else will hit her ball.

But this is Jimin—a genius setter, he knows the type of set to give his spikers before they even know the set they want, he knows the best toss to give them so that they can play at the utmost best to their abilities…

Jimin’s talent is to bring out everyone’s 100% effort, no matter what team he played on. And that’s scary.

The chills that ran down your spine thinking about how amazing Jimin actually is, was exciting… If you and him could communicate better with your decoy moves and his genius setting skills… You just might be able to beat Cypress in their homecoming game.

i was tagged by @mutxnts thank you ash!!

1. how many works do you have on Ao3?

21, ayyy, one less than ash!!

189,718. this does not surprise me.

3. what fandoms do you write for?

4. what are your top five fics by kudos?

late night (257 kudos), tasting (121 kudos), finality (114 kudos), alive (91 kudos), distance (88 kudos) all of these are ace attorney, three of them are part of a series lol.

if we want to include my art that i've posted to ao3, holding would actually be in second place, with 218 kudos.

theoretically another fic should be in the top five instead but i left it out because i just don't like it and don't plan to update it again/will prob remove it at some point (it was my first in the fandom, was trying to do a case fic before realizing i am bad at them).

5. do you respond to comments?

i try to always respond but sometimes i just don't know what to say! that being said i am always open to chatting about my fics. please. please talk to me oh my god i want to talk about ace attorney.

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

oughhhh....... i guess no one told me it would be beautiful? it's one of my shortest fics and part of just a short series of a post-apocalypse au. it's not exactly the angstiest ending, i have another series in mind for that, but the whole fic has an undertone of angst, and series will too. i just write it in spurts when i feel the need to write something that isn't one of my WIPs.

7. what’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

i think most of my fics end on a sort of higher note! my fics have strong undertones of angst but with lighter endings, but i think the winner would go to status :) because it's the happy ending to the long angsty series! and also it just makes me happy, i feel like i really stuck the landing, we get to see the boys laugh over the most absurd situation and it makes me laugh too.

8. do you get hate on fics?

i've never gotten hate on a fic but shortly after i posted fic that met this description in the tags once, someone i follow made a post making fun of the idea that edgeworth would ever be a sexy dom. listen we are all playing in our own sandboxes.

9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?

we all know me, come on now. i write trans phoenix getting railed in all configurations smut. every e-rated fic has at least one creampie. we know this.

10. do you write crossovers? what’s the craziest one you’ve written?

i don't, but i do have one in mind. i've been planning a severance ace attorney fic for a long time.

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

no

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

no

13. have you ever co-written a fic before?

kind of? tybalt wrote a fic in the universe of one of my series! which kind of counts? idk! but he didn't feel like posting it so i did lol (he's co-author on it). but i do RP a lot, just none is published yet. maybe some day.

14. what’s your all time favorite ship?

of all time??????? tifa/cloud/aerith probably

15. what’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

ohhh god maybe my vampire fic, wait for the morning. i'm trying. i'm trying for the homosexuals.

16. what are your writing strengths?

i think i'm best at writing dialogue honestly, that is what i love to write the most, especially arguments. otherwise in the Real World i am very good at writing passive-aggressive but still somehow polite and professional emails to get shit done.

17. what are your writing weaknesses?

i have a lot of problems with just repetitive vocab.

18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

i have a lot of feelings on this i can't exactly elucidate well. i only speak english fluently. i have a very beginner's knowledge in french. i'm also indigenous, but i don't speak the language of my people, which despite being one of the largest indigenous speech communities in the US, still only has around 2,000 native speakers.

so... i have a lot of feelings about language that take up a lot of space in my chest. but i just am kind of stuck writing in english. if i need to write dialogue in another language, i try to source from friends who speak the language first, then elsewhere on the internet if i don't know anyone directly who speaks it (e.g. asking in a public discord or reddit or somewhere), and use online translation tools as a last resort.

19. first fandom you wrote for?

theoretically it was accidentally tomb raider when i was in 3rd grade but i didn't know that's what i was doing at the time. intentionally, the first fic i ever wrote fanfic for was ff7.

20. favorite fic you’ve written?

i really and truly cannot choose here. it's like picking your favorite child. for the writing skills alone i have to pick wait for the morning (unfinished, i'm sorry). clarity is another one i think shows off some writing skills, idk, i just like it! for the characterization, something about decadence really floats my boat. and for the one that really earns its e-rating, it's tasting (especially chapter 3), my magnum opus of smut.

i am tagging.... who am i tagging. i hate tagging ppl bc i get sooooo anxious that ppl will be annoyed but i am going to tag @sandboxer @m-aximumjoy @samioli if you want to do it, and i have forgotten everyone else's tumblr urls in this exact moment it's like the men in black just memory-wiped me

Marco x F!Reader

Warnings: Blood, Angst, Pining For One Another, Plot Errors Oh Well, Crucified, Bullying, Revenge, Happy End, Pops Thatch and Ace Stay Alive, Spin the Bottle Truth or Dare, Consensual Sex, GF and BF, Office Sex

Reader has the Goro Goro No Mi (to create, transform, and control lightening at will) but strangely doesnt use it till later.

Summary: Your a 28 year old rookie or so they think who eventually gains the Second Devision Commander position. Marco is 33 since were skipping 10 years. (Im not good at math) Marco first talked with you like he does all rookies. At first no one has any clue you were a devil fruit user, you were such a sad soul crying silently or having a dead expression on all the time. Then Marco helped you out of being bullied after seeing how severe the bullying was getting, it was becoming torture. You then learned how to be the second commander of the Whitebeard pirates with Marcos help. Many years later while playing spin the bottle truth or dare both your feelings are revealed.

(N) POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"..*speech*...... all right rookies line up to get your room key. If you loose it, then well throw you overboard! Hahaha thats all kids" you hear Pops say as your in line, these four guys cut you which you let them, saddened eyes dejected looking down. Little did you care for someone elses eyes on you.

~ After Getting Settled In Your Single Person Room Since Your A Female~

You go out but are pushed/bumped into by the four men.

"Better watch your back if your trying to start a fight missy"

"What he said"

"Yaa!"

"Move it, we have devil fruit powers!"

They all said laughing crowding you.

Thats when it started, the bullying. In the hallway they stopped for now getting bored by your expressionless face.

"Come on shes no fun!"

"Man your right lets go!" The other two agreed and you waited for them to leave. Once you were sure they were gone you made your way out on deck. Not caring for food you just head to the side of the medical office up some stairs and sit legs out between the columns of the railing looking out towards the sea. After awhile you feel someone coming up to you, you tense up.

"What are you doing over here all alone? Why not go drink and meet new people? Yoi" you turn to see the first devision commander Marco say with a ale mug in his hand. You reply

"Im ....allergic... and I.... dont... care... to..........hmm......" you sigh wind whisping your hair over your face. Completely emotionless.

"Allright suit yourself I wont push you but if you need to talk im here Yoi" he says then walks off.

~The First Couple Nights Nothing Happened~

Then one night since you always suppress you devil fruit so others can touch you. After dinner after everyone left they stuffed you in a barrel and left you over night. In the morning you woke up early to hear someone by you saying.

"Odd, whered this barrel come from? Yoi" you hear obviously Marco from his speach pattern.

"......help....." you whisper but he seemed to have caught it because he opened the barrel to reveal you curled up inside. He helps you get out.

"What happened? Who did this to you?! Yoi" he asks and you just look down. He helps you out of the barrel. An involuntary tear running down your face. He bends down and softly wipes away your tear with his thumb.

"If others are bullying you come tell me. Its not right and we dont have room aboard the ship for troublemakers Yoi!" He explains as you just look down and nod another tear fallen.

"I have to start my shift, but feel free to come in to the medical office anytime to talk. I mean it (n) Yoi"

~Later That Night At Dinner In The Back~

"Come on doll, chug chug chug!" The leader of the four yells, voice getting lost in the crowd. Them holding onto your arms. Once their done spilling alcohol down your throat and all over you, you fall down on the floor in the puddle they made of alcohol.

"Oh shit she fell we should leave so no one notices" the leader says as you just lay there completely expressionless.

~After Dinner~

You were curled up partially hidden by sitting barrels but someone noticed you. You felt yourself being picked up and carried away. Once to said destination you hear.

"(n) I cant help if you dont tell me what the problem is or in this case who the problems are. I know theres more than one of them. Is it three or four of them? Yoi" the commander asks.

"..... four....." you didnt want to speak you felt so sick as the commander put an IV in you.

"Get some sleep (n) you can clean up tomorrow. The door will be locked. Yoi" he replys.

"Thank....... you.... commander....." you meekly say. He turns surprised you said something positive.

"Of course Yoi" he says with a big smile as he turns off the lights then you hear him exit the office and lock the building. You drift of to sleep on your med bed.

~Months Later~

Everytime something happens you have to visit Marco, who has been getting more and more suspicious of certain men. Their bullying has been getting worse and worse but just so they dont get caught, but they went to far this time.

When everyone was asleep, you thought you were alone on deck. When a bag went over your head, they stuffed a rag in your mouth and you felt yourself off the ground. Suddenly you feel a piercing pain go through your hands and then feet then stomach as you coughed on blood on the rag desperately trying to yell. Then they left but you still felt eyes on you as you passed out from pain. You awoke in the morning with an IV in your arm on a med bed. The heart beat monitor gave you away. Raising your head to see Marco walk from behind the wall, to your bedside. You just realized your eyes have betrayed your tears overflowing falling hard from your face. The first devision commander gave you a tissue.

"(N) this has been going on for months tell me whose doing this to you Yoi!" Marco lost his cool for a moment then readjusted himself.

"(N) please for your sake and mine please just tell me who they are Yoi" he says softly and holds your cold hand warming you up. Everything youve bottled up came crashing down. Through tears you say

"Its Riko and his groupie. I just feel like I deserve this...."

"What do you mean you deserve all of that? No one deserves what youve been through! Yoi" he replys taking off his glasses pinching the bridge of his nose, then putting his glasses back on.

"Sobbing you speak through your sobs.

"I killed my ....parents when I..... was very young.... I pieced it ....together. I couldnt control it..... their dead because....of ...me" you full on ugly cry sitting up Marco undoes all your IVs and wires and rubs your back. Hes on his rolling chair and transforms into hybrid form pulling you onto his lap hugging you as you cry it all out.

"Sounds like youve been surpressing you devil fruit for a long time Yoi"

"What did they do to me this time? I passed out from the pain..." you question him as he replys.

"They crucified you to the sail pole. To be honest I was scared they nailed you with sea prism nails and one through the stomach. I didnt think youd make it but your natural powers happened and regenerated yourself when you were asleep. Yoi" Once done crying you look up at Marco.

"Do I deserve to live after something like what I did?" You tear up but are quiet now.

"Of course you deserve to live! Find your own happiness. It sounds like an accident you couldnt help it or control your powers. Where are you from? What have you been doing this whole time with your life? Yoi?" He asks rambling.

"I just feel like I deserve it..... Im from Skypeia.... I had a angry phase so.... id destroy islands. The world government wants me dead only. Heres my bounty" you pull out a paper from your shirt and give it to him as he transforms into human.

"Hmm (N)D.(L) 4,000,000,000! Dead Only Yoi" He yells the number part.

"Well they never actually got my face...so they dont know what I look like...." he nods and responds.

"Do you mind me giving this to Pops? Yoi" he asks you politely.

"Sure..... I trust you..... Marco" you say with a twinge of blush at being so close realizing your current position noticing he also had a small blush on his face.

"Well regardless if you had told me who they were or not. I finally caught them. Yoi" he says as your eyes widen.

"Come on lets go talk to Pops Yoi" he slides you off of him onto your feet as he stands.

"Come on little bird, im right next to you do you need to hold my hand? Yoi" he asks and chuckles as you nod yes. He holds the bounty in his right hand and holds your hand in his left as you both exit the office. Once outside you see the four men tied to a mast with sea prism chains.

"You fucking wench ill rape you once out of here!!"

"You fucking snitch we should have thought of the sea prism long ago!!!"

"So your fucking the first commander? that it? Fucking whore!"

"You should die for being born!!"

"Shutup Yoi!!" Marco yells at them. That last one got you angry, as you and Marco walk up to Pops.

"Hey Pops we got a live one here look Yoi" he hands over the bounty. Squeezing your cold hand him warming it up.

"Ahh 4,000,000,000 berries (N)D.(L) you should take the second commanders spot" Pops said. You look over to Marco as he smiles at you, giving your hand a squeeze.

"The position has been open for a while you should take it Yoi" Marco smiles and says as you look back to Pops thinking.

"Okay ill.... take the.... position..." you say meekly.

"Marco work with her this next year to show her the ropes son.

Well have to keep your bounty hidden from the rest of everyone. Now that thats decided what to do with these traitors hmmm. (N) since they did you wrong so harshly what do you recommend?" Pops asks.

".. I want to kill them... with my own powers that I didnt use before because I felt I deserved it." You state as you see Pops nods.

"Death for torturing the second commander is sufficient isnt that right Marco?"

"Sounds right to me Pops Yoi" Marco says unhanding you. The first commander unchains them as they talk more shit, your expression changes from expressionless to pure anger as you reach out encapsulating the three in balls of lightning as you go up to their leader. Suddenly the sky darkens very quickly with thunder and lightning. Summoning a huge lightning bolt you grab Riko by his collar and pick him up you stab him through the mouth into his stomach as the lightning dissapears all thats left is ashes. You drop him causing him to shatter and disperses.

"Oops my bad" You feign ignorance. Now the other three are scared as hell.

"Have mercy!!"

"Ahhh no!!!"

"Help anyone!!!"

You let them go as they jumped over board you make the sea an electric barrier so they cant drown. Then you step on the railing smile at Marco which leaves a blush on him, and fall off not seeing Pops and Marco, them of which walked to the edge to see what you would do. You walk on the electric water as the men scream out in absolute pain as you yell.

"Heavenly Electric Rain!" As all around the Moby Dick is surrounded by electricity then a loud *BOOM!* is heard as the circle of lightning goes outward until Pops and Marco and others on deck see whats going on. You bring your hands down as the water vibrates then explodes as you raise yourself up to the railing now with electricity on your feet hovering. A crowds gathered as you point outward the circle explodes in a radius outward in all water killing anything in it. After the lightning went to the horizon exploding all the water like a tsunami of water and electricity in a circle around the Moby Dick going outward. Everyones mouths agape. You raised your arms spreading the sky to reveal the sun and a cloudless sky. As you float on electricity over the railing and hop down on deck. With tears in your eyes.

"Child you are strong no question about it you deserve your rank. We will announce it at dinner. And Marco show her to her new room. Thats all for now." Pops says smirking. You walk with Marco to your room which you just mainly had clothes, shoes and money. Your tears stopped. He helped you pick up everything and move to the second commanders room which Marco gave you the key for.

"I dont think anyone had any idea you were that powerful. Why didnt you ever fight back little bird? Yoi"

"Because I thought I deserved the pain and torment for what ive done..but I see now how things should really be because of you" Marco and you make eye contact and you blush while he smiles wide with a twinge of red on his face.

~At Dinner~

"Listen up everyone! We have filled the Second Commanders position say hello to (N)D.(L)!" Pops yells as everyone cheers and murmurs what happened eariler. You stand, smile softly and wave then sit back beside Marco and Izo who was beside Marcos other side. You, Marco and Izo chat, eat, and you drink water. As the night grows the first commander bends down to your ear and whispers.

"You wont have anymore problems, I promise Yoi" and that makes you genuinely smile up at him making him blush, him drinking to hide his blush.

"Thank you Marco I owe you" you playfully nudge his arm lightly as he smiles wide at you.

~One Year Later~

You and the First Devision Commander have grown quite close over the year of him teaching you your position. He calls you little or baby bird as a term of endearment but not to anyone else and you call him big bird he is more protective of you now than before too. You have been going on missions bringing back tons of gold. Pops is mighty impressed by you, the used to be wordless, emotionless woman now your bright and cheerful and he knows too its because of Marco. When Marcos birthday came round you got him the rarest gem of Sapphire with flecks of yellow and red in it. You dont know what he did with it but you gave it to him regardless. Youve decided to get him something ever year from now on. You let it slip to Thatch that you really like like Marco then the whole crew knew except for Marco. They knew youd kill them if anyone spoke a word. Only Thatch knew how Marco felt about you. But eventually he let that slip too. But no ones told you or Marco anything. No one knew your birthday even though everyone would ask you and try and figure it out. Ace is in your second devision squad. You and Marco always spend your off days together.

"Youve really gotten the hang of it little bird! Yoi" he exclaimed and petted your head, in your office. Going through your papers as you watch he applauds you again.

"Good job (n) now you dont need me anymore Yoi" your mouth agape with a sad expression.

"Does this mean we wont hang out on off days now?" You quizzically ask him as he looked a bit shocked but understood.

"Well still hang out I promise silly dont be a stranger if you finish your work come hang out with me just as usual Yoi" he smiles wide blushing very slightly as you reply

"Yay! I was worried cause your the one .....I trust the most here..." you say looking down so he wont see you blushing. You look up as your blush fades only to cetch Marco blushing then turning to look at your desk.

"Youve come so far (n). I remember when you would cry or be totally expressionless. It would break my heart seeing you like that. Youve opened up so much baby bird. Yoi" he says but you notice a couple tears falling from his face. You get off your chair and hug him from behind.

"Dont cry Marco.... im doing much better all because of you...." you say as he turns around in your arms. He picks you up by your under arms and hugs you close. You hug around his neck close as he tears up, you run your fingers through his hair over and over saying

"Its okay" eventually he let you down taking off his glasses. You reach on your tippy toes and wipe away his tears for him. He smiles blushing at you.

"Thank you my baby bird Yoi" he says petting your head as he puts his glasses back on.

~Nine Years Later~

You confess to Thatch and Ace that your completely in love with Marco but none of them offer any good advice besides well ask him out which you say no way he has to ask. Same on Marcos end but his excuse is he doesnt want to abuse his rank. One night yall are playing spin the bottle truth or dare after a lot of the crew left dinner. Ace *spins bottle* it lands on you. Shocked you say

"Tru- no dare!"

"Okay (n) I dare you to sit on Marcos lap for the rest of the game except for refills!" He yells and drinks more beer as you thank god your wearing panties today your wearing your favorite skirt and t shirt as you move and sit on Marcos lap. Looking up at Marco you say.

"Is this okay big bird?" As he glances down at you he says

"Of course little bird Yoi" facing straight forward again you did notice a slight blush on his face as you reajust your eyes on Thatch and Ace. You *spin the bottle* landing on Thatch.

"I ant no pussy give me truth" he says confidently.

"Okay how many women have you slept with? haha" you ask as his demeanor changed to saddened.

"Noone dammit thats not what I thought you were gonna say" he scowls at you and you shrug laughing leaning into Marcos chest on accident but you feel him stay firm you feel his heart is going fast. Thatch *spins the bottle* it lands on Marco.

"Truth or dare Marco buddy?" Thatch says with a smirk. Marco seems to be contemplating his answer.

"How about dare? Yoi" The Phoenix says sipping from his mug.

"Okayy okayy I dare you ... to kiss (n)" Thatch says evily. As Marco just looks at them with a glare that you could hardly see. Marco turns you a quarter with a blush on his face he leans down eyes closed as you lean up eyes closed and surprisingly your lips met soft ones that lingered for a moment to long.

"He did it highfive!" Thatch and Ace highfived.

"I said kiss I didnt say where though" Thatch then both you and Marco blushed a deep red and you both just drank from your drinks. As you turned around again, your back to Marco. Marco *spins the bottle*

"Truth or dare Ace?" The first commander says. Ace thinks for a minute.

"Hmm okay how about a truth round no dares" Ace says.

"Okay so is it true you have a girlfriend Ace?"

"What no I wish who told you that?" Ace admits and Marco just shrugs. Ace *spins the bottle* and it lannnnddsss on .....you.

"Remember only truth so lemme think..."

"So ive been hearing you love someone close to you spill now" Ace replies. You blush a thousand sunnies while glaring at him.

"I think im gonna go to-"

"Oh no you dont little bird im curious as well Yoi" Marco hugs you over your arms keeping you down as your butt squirms rubbing areas it shouldnt be for Marco. Finally you settle down huffing.

Your glare at Thatch and Ace a thousand needles.

"I love........." you whisper. They all go.

"Huh none of us heard that."

"I said I love .... Marco....." you immediately blush the deepest red ever putting your hands on your face not knowing what to feel as Marcos still involuntary now hugging you as you boobs are squishing into his arms and hands. You hear a sigh from Marco. You *spin the bottle* which it lands on Ace.

"Truth or dare?" You question quietly Thatch and Ace knew there in for punishment.

"Ill pick dare" Ace replys.

"I dare you to drink those barrels until you feel like you get a hangover" you say glaring at him as he gets another mug full.

After Ace *spins the bottle* landing on Marco.

"Your the last truth then its truth or dare"

"Hmmm Marco why dont you tell us who are you in love with hmmm spill the beans mann" Ace finishes. Blushing as you take a peek at the first commander. You could feel him scratch the back of his head.

"Haha its (n).." he smiles drinking some ale then puts it down. You half turn on him.

"Are you serious Marco! When were you gonna tell me?!" You shout grabbing his collar. He smiles even wider at your outburst.

"It never came up in conversation Yoi"

"Oh thats your excuse you shoulda grown a pair earlier" you yell.

"Hey no- Yoi" you cut him off holding his collar of his purple jacket you kiss him longer than last time. Meanwhile Thatch and Ace are whistling and hollering so are the crewmates left on deck. After you released Marco you sat back down in his lap.

"Oh you two shutup you got what you wanted" you say crossing your arms. They both say

"But arnt you glad now?" They say to you both.

You look up at Marco whose looking down at you still blushing and say at the same time.

"Yess."

"Welp im beat" Ace says.

"Yea and I have to get up early for inventory" Thatch also says.

"Your both leaving like that? Ill kick your asses!" You yell but then feel Marco hug you close and nuzzle your neck planting a kiss which makes all anger drain from your body. He whispers in your ear.

"I can finally say I love you (n) Yoi" you gained a shiver as his hot breath douses your neck making him smile against your skin. You turn your head fully blushing as he looks at you with lidded eyes with a blue fire in them. As he stands he picks you up facing him and says

"Wrap your legs around me wheres your key? Yoi" you both blushing hard.

"Here" you take it out of your bra.

"Your not gonna need that soon Yoi" he says breathing on your neck making you hot and bothered. You whisper in his ear softly.

"Im a virgin Marco.." he replys back in a whisper too

"So am I Yoi" as he unlocks your commander room door walks in and locks the door.

"Do you not want too? I am in need of cuddles too Yoi" Marco says thinking about it he did sort of spring it on you.

"Maybe I got the wron-Yoi"

"I do want to Marco im just shy look at my face" you cut him off. He leans back and looks at a tomato red blushing (n). He goes to your bed and lays you down.

"Awee are you that nervous? Then dont worr-Yoi" you cut him off again. Pointing a finger at him

"Ive waited long enough bring it on me" you shout then bury your face in your hands from embarrassment.

"I think I understand now Yoi" he says then continues.

"(N) do you masterbate or have you ever?" Peeking at him you reply

"No should I have been?"

"The reason you dont know what your feeling is because your body is telling you need it but your head is saying no Yoi"

Uncovering your hands you state

"So your saying I should get layed?"

"Well that would help or masterbate but you look like your in heat so masterbation probably wont help. Yoi" you blush even deeper.

"How am I this hor-..."

"Nevermind I know why its cause you got a bonner while I was sitting on you making me all like this" he just chuckles and sits on the bed with you.

"I just need your consent silly or we can cuddle Yoi" he says with a smile.

"Well first what are we Marco I dont just want to be lovers.." you state.

"(N) will you do me the honor of being my girlfriend? Yoi" he states with a wide smile making you blush again.

"Yes id love that Marco!" You exclaim in glee.

"And I give you my consent Marco just help please ive never experienced this before with anyone but you" he caresses your cheek with his right hand and tilts your head so he has access to your lips and neck. Leaning down the kiss is more passionate as you fall into it and follow his lead, tounges flicking around embracing both of you swallowing each others saliva. Breaking for air you kick your shoes off trying to unbutton your top then Marco takes over slowly unbuttoning your shirt as he kisses your neck then starts sucking hard everywhere on your neck then down to your bra, making you moan his name

"Marcooo!" He smiles and once unbuttoned you sit up to get your shirt off then he slides his off putting his jacket on the ball of the bed railing undressing his shoes which have a zipper then he runs his hands on up your thighs making you moan again as he keeps getting closer to your panties making you shiver and twitch. Finally he grabs your panties and pulls them off. While he undresses his pants leaving just his boxers. Finally he takes off your bra one handed. He pokes your sensitive nipples and rubs them as you twitch and moan

"MarcoOO!"

"Im gonna have you screaming my name soon dont worry my baby bird Yoi" he says as he slides his boxers off revealing a huge present for you.

"Will it fit?" You honestly dont know.

"Trust me im the doctor here little bird Yoi" he says as he repositions you laying long ways with the bed as he gets on top of you and slowly checks your wetness the same time making you moan.

"Commander Marco!" You yell.

"Ouu I like the sound of that Yoi" he smiles wide and says, as he positions his cock at your entrance sliding it up and down as you are twitching more than ever.

"My sweet little bird look at how wet you are for me slicking me up really nice Yoi" Marco taunts you while you moan louder

"Big bird MarcOOO pleasee I need you!" He leans down to suck on your breasts sucking hard then swirling around your nipple and the other one.

"Others are gonna se-"

"I want everyone to know who you belong too screaming my name. Your mine! Yoi" Getting mews out of you. You huffing face all red. He admires you for a second and his handiwork on your neck and breasts then leans back down, eye level with you. Positioning his dick at your soaking entrace again sliding up and down as you wrap your arms around his neck you kiss then suck hard in various spots making Marco moan also

"God! Second commander!! (n)!!! your feisty Yoi!" You both knew others could allready hear you both. After youve sufficiently hickeied him you state

"Well now others will know your mine!"

"Well my baby bird are you prepared? Im gonna slide in, soon youll be mine forever! Yoi"

You nod and say

"Im ready big bird Marco" thats all he needed as he slips just the tip in making you go

"Ahh Commander!" As he slowly reaches your virginity he says

"Are you ready sweetheart? Yoi" and you just nod hanging onto him as he slowly pops your virginity one of his hand goes to your button swirling and massaging it while his lips met yours fighting, playing for dominance which he won as you makeout you start to moan again. Giving him the sign to continue. Breaking for air breathless he says

"Now your mine forever say it little bird who do you belong too Yoi"

"I belong to first devision commander Marco!!!! Ahhh!! Big bird your filling me up!!!" You moan as he thrusts out a little then in to stretch your walls for him.

"Thats another point we havent discussed! Do you want kids?! But more importantly do you want my babies?! Ahhh!! Fuck your so tight!!! second commander!!! Yoi"

"Yes I want your babies inside of me!!! Ahh yesss!!!! Marco please cum in me!!!!!" You yell for all to hear.

"Okay dont have to tell me twice Yoi" he huffs his erection growing harder as he bottoms out at your cervix.

"Told you it would fit Yoi" as you look down, wrapping your legs around his waist he chuckles. He starts to thrust out then in

"Ohh god!!!!! Yesss!!!!! First commander!!!!!!" You yell to the heavens as he starts gradually making you both huff in wanting and knowing you belong to eachother now. He places his hand back next to your head as he speeds up thrusting in and out, but not all the way out just enough to slip back in. Your fingernails dig into his back you look into his eyes and he doesn't seem bothered. As he speeds up more, both of you cant help but moan for the other.

"Yesss Marco!!!!! First commander!!!!!"

"Ahhh!!!!! (N) second commander!!!!!! Yoi" soon he is railing you

"Found! Your g spot! Birdy!!" Yoi!!!" He yells as he keeps pounding you in your g spot relentlessly giving you the pleasure you were denyed your whole life.

"Marco!!!! Yess!!!!! Right there!!!! My first Commander!!!!" Your body started to get the rhythm and soon you both were moving together slamming it. Time was useless for you both. It was starting to weigh on you both getting closer and closer to climax.

"Ahh!!!! Yessshh!!!!!!! First commander!!!!!! Im getting close!!!!!!" You scream.

"Fuckkk!!!!! Second commander im getting close too!!!!! You want my cum all inside you baby bird?!!!! Yoi!!!!" Marco screams.

"Yess!!!! Cum in me Marco!!! Cream in me!!!!!!" You scream. After some time of thrusting and you bouncing with his movements.

"Big bird!!!! Your gonna make me cum soon!!!!!"

"Fuck!!!! Baby bird your gonna make me cum!!!! Yoi"

"Lets cum together!!!! Yoi" he yells loudly as you see stars and black spots you tear up and moan

"This is heaven!!!!Marco!!!" Screaming he says

"Are you ready second commander?!!!! Ready to cum for me?!!!!! Ready for my hot creamy cum!!!!!!! To squirt all inside you!!!!!! Yoi!!!!"

"Im ready!!!!! Marco I need your hot cum to fill me up now!!!!!" You scream.

"Ready cum with me!!!Yoi" he yells

"Im cumming Marco!!!!!" You scream.

"(N) im cumming in you, take all of my hot cum!!!!! Yoi" as your walls constrict it makes his cum go even deeper filling you up. He keeps thrusting through both of your sexhighs as he slowly comes to a stop both of you shaking slightly but mainly you twitching and shaking more. Looking into his eyes soft lips meet yours as you welcome them making out breathing through your noses now swallowing eachothers saliva then breaking for more air. Huffing. He looks around but theres no rags anywhere.

"You dont keep- Yoi"

"Never mind thats a stupid question Yoi" he says as you use your electricity to hover you both upright and over to the shower.

"Handy and ticklish Yoi" he smiles as he uses one hand to place his glasses on the top of the shower. As hes holding your thighs so slipping out that quickly wont hurt you.

"Ready my little bird? Im gonna slip out now Yoi" he questions

"Im ready Marco~" you state as he slowly pulls out in by inch until its out.

"Ahh!" You twitch. He sets you down but have to hug his abs to stand.

"Just hang onto me until you can stand little bird Yoi" he says while turning on the warm water as it pours over both your heads soaking your and his hair. Watching your and his cum go down the drain. After awhile you can finally stand.

"Lets get cleaned up Yoi" he says as he washes your back and you wash his back. Cuddling in the soap then rinsing off. He shuts off the water and grabs your towel wrapping it around you. He transforms into hybrid form and wraps his wings around you.

"What about you arnt you cold Marco?" You question.

"Naw I dont really get cold dont worry sweetie Yoi" cuddling in his chest you stroke his wings using haki but not to hurt him.

"Ahh feels nice. Noones ever done that to me before. Yoi" he says kissing your neck as he chuckles.

"You know we have to talk and test our divisions tomorrow Yoi" he says to you.

"Marco you asshat you planned this?" He just chuckles smiling wide

"No no dear I just think its funny the timing Yoi" once your both dry he transforms into human form again. Leading you to the bed, sliding into bed, for you to cuddle. He puts his arm down as a pillow for you to lay in the crook of his neck while he wraps his other arm around your waist, bringing you closer to him intertwining both your legs with his. Pulling up the covers he says

"Your all mine and im all yours, and im sure everyone will have something to say tomorrow Yoi"

"Im all yours and your all mine. I dont care what people say I love you Marco"

"I love you (n) Yoi" Marco says.

"Goodnight" You both say at the same time, he chuckles and you laugh while you both cuddle falling asleep.

~The Next Morning~

"Little bird Yoi~"

"HmmMm" you open your groggy eyes to see Marco in your bed then recall the events thats happened last night. With a gaint blush on your face you finally make words.

"Yes?"

"Were going to be late if we dont hurry Yoi" he says to you as your eyes widen and you shoot up from bed. Marco chuckling as he gets up and gathers his clothes dressing. While your trying to find new clothes you throw the dirty onces in the bin. Finally finding that pair of black shorts and t shirt you wear you black boots. Finishing up the necessities brushing teeth, bathroom etc.

"I need to get ready too. I love you (n). Ill see you soon Yoi" his sweet lips on yours real quick. While you did that, Marco left for his room to prepare. You grab your clip board and pencil and head out the door. Locking your room but leaving a window open to let it air out since the room smelt of sex. Meeting your Second Devision Squad on deck, you did rollcall.

"Okay today were doing training ill be your opponent. Luckily we stopped at an island so we wont damage the ship everyone to the island." Ace raises his hand as others are sushhing him trying to put his hand down.

"Yes Ace have something you want to share?" You question him. He snickers and asks

"So whered you get all those hickeys?" He snickers again as you lightly chuckle shrugging you admit.

"I got them from Marco. You might have heard something last night im sure. Or maybe we werent loud enough?" You scratch your head with your pencil letting it roll off your back like Marco always does. Everyones mouth is agape that you just outright said it.

"Oh please dear god no forget I even asked!" Ace yells as you giggle.

"Your lucky im in a good mood lil Ace" you say as you float over the railing bringing your whole devision with you too the island. As everyone floats down to the island.

"I am not little!" Ace yells as you giggle. After everyones on the island which was baren and a good medium size you went up the list from down floating each person back to the ship after they were done. Giving pointers and offering ideas and ways to help each member. Until only Ace was left.

"This time im gonna beat you (n)!" You hear chanting then glance to the ship where half were chanting for Ace and the other half were chanting for you including Marco. You look back to Ace hes in a ready stance. As you ready your stance, you take out a blindfold and wrap it around your head.

"Im not gonna fight someone who blinds themselves!" Ace yells as you and you retort.

"This is your handicap Ace you better fight or ill fail you and punish you."

"Tchh fine but you better not cry to Marco when I win!" He yells to you as he starts running your way. Your observation haki is very strong so this should be quick. Once hes in range you swing kick half force ontop of Aces head making a gaint crater where his head was. You feel him after a couple of seconds get up and wipe his mouth.

'He must have spat up blood' you think to yourself as Ace uses

"Fire fist!" As you point a finger at him letting go of your charge you've built up causing a massive shockwave rocking the Moby Dick hitting Ace then exiting his body.

"Is this all you have to offer me Ace?" You mock him getting him riled up.

"Flame Commandment!" He powers up then unleashes it to you.

"Lightning Commandment!" Which you point a finger at his attack and at the last second you discharge both of you unseeable from the attacks. Another shockwave and everyone is in awe at the fight before them you felt even some commanders and whole devisions were watching along with your big bird and his devision. All anyone can see is the island smashing apart and the gaint half of electricity and half fire. After the flash was over you walk through Aces flames. Using your electricity you hold Ace above water along with you. Hes on his knees

"But that was my strongest attack.... what are you??...." Ace asks

"Im the lightning god. Theres no way you were going to beat me" You reply taking your blindfold off. Floating your clipboard over to you where the island used to be you wrote down some notes then floated Ace and you back to the deck. Ace just layed on his knees head to the deck. You spy Marco walk up and say

"Dont feel that bad Ace even I couldnt beat her Yoi"

"Good job my little bird Yoi" Marcos kisses your cheek and everyone mouths are agape some were hollering and whistling. You giggled as you say

"Well Ace looking here your number one in the Second Devision Squad at least thats something to be proud of!" You say trying to cheer him up. Finally he stands saying

"Yea I guess" he rubs the nape of his neck and walks off. Marco looks at you with a smile which you smile back, both your hickied necks fully visible to everyone.

"Ah let him cool off hell be fine by dinner Yoi" you hear the First Devision Commander say.

"All right shows over, get back to work everyone! Yoi" Marco says. As everyone disperses Marco says

"That means you too (n) Yoi"

"Ya ya I know First commander~" you say cutely rubbing one of his hickey's. He grabs your hand gently and pulls you close whispering in your ear.

"Keep this up and ill have to punish you tonight~" he taunts and releases you. You just blush red and say

"Im gonna go do paperwork now bye boyfriend~" you stick out your tounge then run away as you hear him chuckle and smile. Once in your office you do paperwork on your Devision. After all day you hear a knock on your office door.

"Who is it?" You wonder.

"Its me Yoi"

"You dont have to knock you know" you reply back to him.

"Just being curdious my baby bird" he comes up behind your chair leans down and hugs you close while kissing on your neck making you moan softly

"Marcoo" then he pulls away but nips your sensitive ear causing you to shiver.

"So lover what are you stuck on? Working hours are over. Havent you noticed? Yoi" Marco says curiously.

You look up to him and ask

"Who would you put for fourth and fifth place this person has great defense but this other person has great offensive their tied and I dont know what to do" he seems to think for a moment then replys

"I would say offensive is better than defense Yoi"

"Yay! Finally im done with this stack! Time to report in" you say popping up as you clutch the papers. Your picked up as you instinctively wrap your legs around Marcos waist and hang on his neck with one arm. Him makingout with you, him also holding your thighs up. You could feel a bulge going on from him. As tounges fight for dominance you nip at his and he does the same making you moan. As you both brake for air huffing he lets you down.

"Look at what your doing to me woman Yoi" he motions to his bulge. He reajusts his cock in his pants so its not noticeable. Thats when Ace came through the door.

"Hey there you are Marco I knew if I went to (n) youd be here! Could I get a painkiller my heads killing me!" Ace says holding his head. You just hear Marco slightly sigh then turn around with a smile.

"Allright come with me Yoi" Marco says as they leave. You exit your office, lock it and head to the bulletin board tacking on the newest rankings.

"Ah it seems everyone allready did theres oh well im not that late" you speak to yourself. As you go to the main office for each devision to put the paperwork. You put your stack in the second devision box. Then head out its a sunny day.

'I want a smootie' you walk over to cantina and pick up kiwis and raspberrys blend them with ice then set your drink down.

'I should make one for Marco too' you think to yourself grabbing a pineapple chopping the green off then blend the whole thing since hell eat all of it. Once done cleaning you took the two drinks looking for your boyfriend. You went to the med office and used your head to knock.

"Come in Yoi" with your hands full you use your electricity to open the door and enter.

"Hey dear-" then you saw Ace.

"Thought you only needed a pain pill?" You directed your question at Ace but Marco spoke.

"He broke a bone when you both were fighting Yoi" your boyfriend says using his blue fire on Aces arm.

"Welp I made us drinks big bird" you change the subject and layed down his drink on his desk while you sip on yours.

"You didnt have to but I very much appreciate it my little bird. Yoi" he takes a sip while working on Aces arm.

"Its delicious love. Yoi" he says with a wide smile to you.

"Ugh get a room you two" Ace says.

"Maybe you should get a girlfriend Ace" you stare daggers at him making him flinch and you laugh.

"And by the way we had a room but someone burst in without knocking" you add. That saying made Ace blush red.

"There all done for now. You will have to come in every day for a week. Yoi" Marco says as he enjoys his drink now and so do you.

"Thanks doc see ya two later" Ace says leaving the office. Marco goes and locks the door making you raise an eyebrow. You both finished your smoothies.

"Bottoms off now Yoi" he gives you that look, like I want you now. You use your electricity to drawn all the blinds as you undress your black shorts and kick off your boots. Then he slides off your panties as he drops his pants and boxers. Sliding his dick in between your thighs.

"My my allready soaking wet for me just how I like it. Here bite on this gauze roll be a good girl and I wont punish you like I said eariler. Shh try not to make a sound my sweet little bird Yoi"

"Bend over the table for me Yoi" he demands and you obey your arms supporting your weight.

'Thank god all the tables are bolted down or it would rock into the wall' you think as he inserts his tip and you moan but quietly because of the gauze. He picks you up by your low stomach feeling himself fill you up with his cock through your lower abdomen. He starts thrusting as you moan long and softer than normal this was a more sensual kind of sex. Forbidden sex in the offices. It turned you on as he pounded your g spot makeing you see circles and dots moaning a little louder he says while grunting.

"Shh remember Baby bird be a good girl and you get your reward Yoi" you nod as he thrusts again and again the gauze making you drool on the cleared off desk. Whatever he was doing it was working. This new feeling of euphoria made you feel so high. Afterwhile he leans over and says

"Are you close baby bird? Yoi" you just nod viciously. He takes that as a sign to finish as he kept up his pace which wasnt even that fast like the first time this time it was sensual but still making you want to cum. He whispers

"Im going to cum soon (n) Yoi" he whispers to you as he holds your low stomach him feeling his cock moving in and out of you turning him on even more. He speeds up a little more hitting your G spot everytime on purpose. You moaning as quietly as you can.

"Heres your reward my sweet girlfriend Yoi" you moan a little louder as your cuming, he keeps thrusting. By you cuming it makes him cum. Him whispering to you

"Heres your reward my little bird take all of my hot cum have my babies Yoi" he grunts moaning softly as he thrusts through your and his sex highs till he gradually slows down and stops. You took the gauze out of your mouth. Huffing for air as he grabs a small towel and after a minute he whispers

"Im going to slide out now Yoi" and you just nod. As he slides out you have to stifle a loud moan. You knees weak legs twitchy. He cetches your juices and cum ckeaning you up then flipping the towel in half cleaning him up now.

"You couldnt have waited? " you giggled as you put your panties black shorts on and boots back on you cleaned up your drool and tossed the gauze away. He pulled up his boxers and pants too. He comes up behind you and says in your ear.

"No I couldnt youve been poking jabs at me all day and especially in your office. So I half punished you and half rewarded you Yoi" he states as you open a couple windows.

"Now it smells like sex in the doctors office." Marco just shrugs and smiles wide and leans down to kiss you, kissing back then departing with a string of saliva falling away he picks you up by your thighs as you hook onto his neck.

"It was kinky I liked it, what about you (n) Yoi" he says quietly as you whisper

"You in that doctors coat is a turn on its been a fantasy of mine for awhile" his curiosity gets the better of him.

"What other things tantalize your mind? Yoi" he asks sliding you off of him.

"Youll just have to find out~" you shake your booty a little as he grabs that ass firmly making you gasp and him chuckle.

"Wait how long have we been in here?" You question and he replys

"Not long at all about thirty minutes Yoi"

"Oh good come on big bird lets go before were found out" he nods puts his doctors coat up and unlocks the door letting you exit as he locks the door.

"Dont you feel better (n)? Yoi" he asks

"Actually I very much do feel better. How about you?" You ask.

"I think you know but ill entertain you. Yes it feels like a weights been lifted off my shoulders. Yoi" he chuckles at your guys fun and smiles wide intertwining hands with you as it was getting close to dinner time. He led you to your guys table to chill before dinner Izo and Ace were allready there talking.

"Well speak of the devil or devils in this case." Ace says as Izo nods.

You and Marco just cock your heads like what.

"What is it this time Ace? Yoi" the first devision commander asks.

"The whole crew want to know what exactly are you guys to eachother" Izo speaks. You just let Marco talk it out. With a smile he says

"Well shes my girlfriend of course and more. Yoi"

"And hes my boyfriend and more" you giggle. As Ace and Izo look a bit taken aback by the transparency.

"Ring A Ding Ding Its Dinner Time" you turn to see Thatch handing out food and crewmates lining up for booze.

"Excuse me little bird. I better go get some ale before its gone Yoi" you slid out of the booth and let everyone slide out to get booze while you allready had water you just stood while Thatch came with food to your table setting down meat for Ace and Izo a pineapple and a fruit bowl for Marco and tuna sushi for you. You got stars in your eyes

"I heard sushi was your favorite food so ill be giving it to you from now on" Thatch says as you gleam "Ahh!!! Thank you soo muchh Thatch!!! Thats so sweet of you!" He rubs the back of his head.

"I kinda have to cater to the highest commanders" Thatch says.

"Whats goin on Yoi?" Marco is suddenly standing behind Thatch.

"He made me my favorite food!" You raised your arms in the air excited. Marco raises an eyebrow to Thatch.

"I was just telling her I make the highest commanders their favorite foods. Wellp back to work" Thatch goes back to the kitchen. You let Marco slide into the booth seeing his favorite food he smiles and wraps his left arm around your shoulders. Making the crew murmur. You look at Marco eating his pineapple with the skin on makes you giggle. He smiles and asks

"Whats so funny my little bird? Yoi"

"Why do you eat the hard peel?" You reply.

"It carries a lot of nutrients Yoi"

He says as you whisper in his ear

"They say if you eat a lot of pineapple that your cum tastes sweet~" he whispers back

"Well well have to figure that out if thats okay with you? I have something I want to do to you too but shh its a secret Yoi" you reply

"Its okay with me im curious myself" you both ended the conversation and started eating your sushi and he ate the rest of the fruit. Then drinking some ale while you drank your water. Everyone including you were chatting having a merry time. After dinner you and Marco split up to take showers once done you dress in a short thigh high black thin dress then walk out of your room and lock the door. Then go to Marcos room and knock. You heard it unlock guessing its for you. You walk in then lock the door. Suddenly you feel Marcos arms around you from behind and picked you up

"Hey put me down" he obeys and puts you down.

"Whats the matter little bird I want to cuddle~ Yoi" you inspect his room then see on a small pillar on the wall by his library all of the gems youve given him for his birthday.

"Aweee you kept them" he walks over to you hugging you from behind.

"Of course I kept them, there my treasures from the one I love Yoi" he holds your hand and leads you to the bed. You get in and he slips in under the covers with you. He turns on his side spooning you holding you with both arms as you hold his arms and intertwine your legs with his.

"Goodnight my sweet little bird Yoi" his breath on your neck making you shiver.

"Goodnight my handsome kind Phoenix"

~Happy End~

[newbieineverything]

I have been craving a certain angsty scenario:

Wherein Ace lives but no one knows except the Whitebeards and Luffy because I want Sabo to get his memories back the same way he got it in canon

Seeing the news of Ace's death, mini coma, and guilt + grieving when he wakes up

Like I don't care how long it takes till he knows that Ace is alive a week or two year I just crave that period so much but I still want a happy ending where Ace is alive because I'm weak

He could be in a coma, has amnesia, or A okay but I need him to live and for Sabo to angst 😭😭😭

I only found one fic like this and it was so good but also so short, honestly I'm this close to writing it but I'm a bad writer :')

PS the one shot for anyone who likes this concept

Edit: link wasn't working

[soleilnomoon]

Your request with Ace being a father pls its so cute and heartbreaking🥺 and how you mentioned Sabo at the end gave me an idea 🧍🏻‍♀️ how about, as Luffy thoughts, Sabo helps reader and Ace’s child and goes as much as he can to Wano ? He really loves his nephew and at the end reader sees Sabo as more than the uncle of her child (obviously it’s reciprocated). The child really loves his uncle too, Sabo tells him stories about his father. He knows Sabo isn’t his father but along the way, he starts seeing Sabo as such. And maybe it’s difficult for Sabo to be here because he’s a revolutionary? (some angst to spice things up) If they end up together with an happy ending it’s as you want 🥴 I just really loved your work, it made me discovered your blog thank you for your time ❤️

awww tomg it’s wild, i didn’t expect ppl to like it like that one, but i’m glad you did (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤ sabo is tragically family-oriented, so i can see this happening & i do love tragedy and romance, so i hope you have fun reading this one too ❤️ (also thank you, that means a lot)

1.8k, fem reader, sfw (a lil fluff if you look w binoculars & angst but not too too much), 18+ mdni, sabo is a big softie deep down what can i say, no real warning except that i'm sad over ace all over again

with the assistance of robin, luffy crafts a short, somewhat unintelligible letter to his only living brother; sabo’s face blanches at the contents, knowing exactly who it is without needing to see the childish signature at the bottom. without giving too many details away, he’s able to pick out the clues his simple-minded brother leaves him, not bothering to tell anyone where he’s off to before he seeks you out. with kaido out of the picture, it’s much easier to travel to wano — being second-in-command of the revolutionary army has its perks, along with plenty of danger. he knows this more than anyone — knows that he should be more careful, should consider what potential danger his presence might bring about, but he can’t help it.

when his memories resurfaced after nearly a decade, it took him some time to adjust. all of the things he thought were true suddenly felt heavy, dream-like, and maybe he’s started to reconsider the path he’s chosen in the name of justice. he packs light, travels like the wind — fast, ruthless, necessary — barely sleeps, the anticipation eating at him night after night.

because luffy assured you that sabo — the sabo that ace once thought was dead, from the story that sat with you for years, that made your heart break repeatedly, not just for ace but for your son, as well — is alive and well and that he will, most assuredly, take care of you.

it’s a comforting thought, one that you thought was made with good intent, but that you didn’t quite believe would be actually true. until, sabo stands on your doorstep, knocking repeatedly — eager, nervous, and a bit emotional. you’ve never seen what he looked like, so it takes you by surprise when a tall, blond man greets you with a grin — it mirrors luffy’s and ace’s, surprisingly. your older sister is out for the day, so she won’t chastise you for letting in a complete stranger, and your son is taking a nap, giving you both the time you need to get acquainted.

before he even tells you his name, you know who he is. his mannerisms are refined, yet a little rough around the edges — you assume he’s had formal training at one point in his life, but don’t actually press him for the answer. you mean to ask him to prove that he’s actually ace’s adopted brother, but his mini-me wakes suddenly, crying loudly, big, fat tears gliding down his chubby cheeks as he stumbles towards you.

sabo, in the middle of drinking the tea you so kindly prepared for him, chokes on the hot drink, spilling it down his dark shirt, standing from the table and unable to believe his eyes.

he’s seen a lot, working as a revolutionary, but this — this… this was too much.

even his reunion with luffy took him by surprise; he had to hold himself back in order to allow his younger brother to process everything. and now, the same is happening to him; again. as you tend to your son, sabo watches, doing his best to keep it together, fingers trembling so he balls them into a fist as he watches the scene before him. his eyes never leave you, which is a problem; one of the reasons why you fell so fast for ace was due to his uncanny ability to see more than he lets on. sabo is the same; that sharp perceptiveness unnerving, putting you on edge.

yet, you can’t bring yourself to tell him to leave. if anything, it brings a familiar feeling, one that you want to keep as close as possible. your son peeks at him from tear-stained lashes, blinking slowly, the unknown man should scare him, but he doesn’t. sabo’s gaze softens and he takes long, measured steps towards you both. like his father, your son is a pretty good judge of character, so it’s no surprise that he takes to sabo right away.

he crouches down to talk to ace’s son, amazed at how similar he is to the father he’ll never know. and, while sabo only has the child version of ace in his mind, he has no doubt that his sworn brother barely changed over the years. his smile never wavers, even as he picks his nephew up, even as he spins the child around, watching in amusement as he laughs and laughs and laughs. the sound is infectious, so you laugh too. and sabo, who spent a lifetime chasing away his inner demons, smiles genuinely, a warmth enveloping him, one that will keep him stable for many years to come.

you insist he stays over, and he doesn’t fight the invitation, wanting to talk to you more, to understand his brother — his motives, his dreams, his reasoning for coming to wano in the first place. it’s early in the morning by the time you finish your story to completion; sabo drinks it all up, content that ace knew a bit of happiness before he died, grateful for your role in his life. he places a large hand over yours, squeezing it gently, thanking you repeatedly, tears revealing a much darker truth that he thought he buried deeply.

so you sit with him by the fireplace, not wanting to leave his side, completely understanding that level of sorrow. life truly is as unkind as it is beautiful; despite all of those negative feelings, the ones that weigh you down late at night, you still manage to find some semblance of peace — in the form of your son’s smile, his morbid curiosity, his striking resemblance to his father in more ways than you can count. sabo, while he doesn’t think he deserves to be here, not when his brother died in the midst of battle, enjoys the time he spends with you and your son. he stays for much longer than he means to, and on his last day, he promises to keep in touch — going so far as to leave behind a sum of money for you.

it’s another three months before you see him again. your son has grown a bit more, is a little more of a handful each day, but sabo is all the more excited to see him like that. 

he brings gifts for both of you, and even after you tell him repeatedly that he doesn’t have to, he insists on it. you don’t have it in your heart to refuse him — especially when he gives you those adorably stubborn looks, the ones that remind you of ace, the ones that mirror your son’s. it’s funny, you didn’t think you’d find comfort in the company of another like this again, but it gets harder and harder to say goodbye to him each time he visits. for your son, it’s equally devastating. he gets quite used to sabo’s presence, cries when he’s not around, likes when he gets to play with the man who you tell him is his uncle, but he insists is something more than that.

because you’re used to the stubborn streak your son has, you don’t fight him on it; mostly because a part of you understands how he feels. 

sabo is quite charming, devastatingly handsome, highly intelligent, strong — you love ace, or loved, rather, and always will, but something about sabo’s presence feels just like home. with each visit, you miss him more and more; and one night you confess as much to him. it’s after you’ve cleared the table, after you’ve washed and dried each dish, after sabo’s tucked your son into bed, and you’re able to properly talk to him.

a moment of hesitation makes you think you’ve said the wrong thing, but sabo smiles at you, a bit sad, a bit hopeful, and wraps his arms around you, pulling you in for an embrace that feels much more intimate than it should be. instead of pushing him away, you bury your face in his chest, inhale his scent, commit him to memory — because you don’t know the next time you’ll see him again. you know the line of work he’s in is rather dangerous, and you know better than to keep faith that he’ll come back alive — life on the grand line is rough, unpredictable, and he’s wanted by the world government.

you sure know how to pick them, don’t you.

this doesn’t phase him one bit, however, as he’s made up his mind. he’s grappled with the guilt of falling for you for long enough. it gets harder for him to resist touching you, to stop himself from wanting to kiss you, from staring a little too hard whenever you’re within eyesight. when sabo wants something, he goes for it; and, besides, he’s sure this is what ace would’ve wanted. for you to be with someone who will take care of you — and your son — who will love you despite how messy your life is, who will protect you til his dying breath (something that terrifies you). you don’t realize you’re crying until he rubs his hand on your back, soothing you in soft tones, his voice deep, yet melodic, a lullaby that will keep you safe for years to come.

your heart yearns for what it can’t have; that’s what you keep telling yourself. even after he assures you that yes you can have what you want, that he won’t falter, that he’ll come back to you alive — he’s already died once, after all. the thought is laughable, a little romantic, and tragic. you want to believe him so badly, but can’t bring yourself to do so. he knows it’s an impossible dream; but if there’s one thing about sabo, it’s that he will make the impossible happen, no matter how long it takes.

his lips coast along the curve of your cheek, dropping an impromptu kiss there, before moving to the other side. you sigh, fingers clinging to his jacket, the tears neverending — you’re not sure when you became this emotional, but he continues to place soft kisses along your skin, until he gets to your mouth. he takes his time kissing you, mapping out the shape of your lips with his tongue, a hand on the back of your neck, holding you steady as he brings forth a need that doesn’t quite make sense to you. the kiss is a promise; that he’ll come back to you no matter what, that he’ll try to stay for longer next time, that one day it’ll be the three of you for real.

and you receive his kiss with a gusto, wanting to believe him so badly, and maybe — just maybe — things will work out. maybe you will get the happiness that you’ve been chasing, maybe you’re not as alone as you think you are. sabo is of the same thought, having not realized that his heart was missing something until he met you. it makes it that much more difficult for him to part from you, but he does it knowing that he has a goal in mind, that he’ll make it so you can be together without difficulty; that your son will have the family you want him to have, and that he, too, will have some semblance of happiness that won’t leave him raw and unfeeling afterwards.

Platonic Natasha 'Phoenix' trace x Robert 'Bob' FloydRating: E Summary: After their accident, Bob and Phoenix try to figure out what went wrong and work through their complicated feelings. warnings: a little baby tinge of angst, but that's it. words: 1.6k a/n: a short and sweet little one. i always felt like these two were nearly telepathic the instant they met. they clicked really well for never having flown before and I'd like to think they became the fastest of friends and stay in contact after TG:M is completed. Also note, I made Bob married. Because no way that man is single. Impossible. x marnie

Natasha ‘Phoenix’ Trace was never nervous. She was always cool, calm and collected; completely in control at all times. She always was the most sensible and logical of her crew even while employed under the Black Aces, but tonight, the pilot just couldn’t count sheep for the life of her. She had stared at the ceiling for almost 3 hours before grabbing a jacket and padding out of her bunk, doing her best to not wake her bunkmate, Hangman, from his beauty sleep.

Natasha couldn’t stop the pounding in her chest or the ring in her ears. Every second since she was released form the med ward, she had been replaying her bird strike accident over and over again. What could she have done to prevent it? Did she do everything she could have at the time? What would have happened if something had gone differently? What would have happened if she died? If Bob died?

 The web of chaos in her head was overwhelming enough to leave static where dreams should be. She needed to let out the storm in her brain, but in a mission like this, there was no support. If you’re unsure or too weak to handle an accident, you definitely wouldn’t be fit to fly this important mission. It was 11pm, she had a 0500 wake up scheduled and couldn’t sleep a wink. She did the most logical thing she could do.

She went to Bob.

Phoenix’s fist rapped only once on the door when it opened. The sight of her WSO alive and well relaxed her shoulders. She gave a thin lipped smile. Bob looked like shit. His hair was disheveled, there was a small bruise resting underneath the side of his jaw, but the eye bags under his glasses were designer, probably Gucci level at that rate.

He sent her a small smile, a tiny breath leaving his mouth. “You must have ESP, I was just about to find you.”

“Hey, that happens when you go through a near death experience with someone,” she whispered, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. “But uh, I can’t sleep. Can we talk? About today?”

“Yeah, yeah, come in,” he mumbled, opening the door wider for his friend. Bob, being a solo from the Screaming Eagles, was the last to arrive at base in the Dagger squad because of his long distance post. Being the odd man out, he was lucky enough to have his dorm to himself.

Bob’s bunk was neat and tidy. His bed was military made without a wrinkle to be seen, never even laid in. His desk, however, was messy and illuminated by a rickety lamp. A weapon’s service manual with too-old sticky notes and different colored highlighted portions was open to the anatomy of a Super Hornet’s F414 engine. He ushered her to sit in the empty desk chair opposite of his own. 

“Good thing you came, because I wanted to talk too. I was going to text you to see if you were still awake,” the WSO uttered, his hands flat on his desk and staring hard at his textbook. “The whole situation just doesn’t make sense to me. Either that, or I just blocked it out and can’t remember.”

“Bird strike,” Natasha let out matter-of-factly. She fiddled with the cuticles on her thumbs as if they more interesting than her partner. “Dumb goose got sucked into the engine and blew us out.”

“No, no, I get that,” Bob replied. “It’s just… how did the other engine go out too? The way we were flying,” he trailed off, lost in his own head for a moment on how to word it. Pilots weren't as well versed in the science behind flying. They just needed to do it. If Phoenix was anything like his other front seater, their aerodynamic pressure force section of their physics course probably went through one ear and out the other.

A thin finger went pointing back a graph to his book, his eyebrows scrunched beneath his glasses. “Our knots and g's weren’t pulling fast enough to force the engine out, plus we emergency switched our generator on which would have jumped the system when we attempted a restart. The engine physically couldn’t have extinguished itself completely based off of that alone on the right side. It should have been alive long enough to at least get us back to base. When Techie and I went over systems checks on the ground, it was all completely green at 100% capacity. There couldn’t have been that many failures we missed.”

“But you did.” Natasha’s voice was steady. At Bob's immediate crestfallen expression from her blame, she quickly backpedaled. “No, take that face off, that's not what I mean. Bob, you guys didn’t fail. You did everything by the book. The plane did. It just happened, Bobby.”

“And that’s what’s eating me, Nat.” He collapsed back into his chair, pushing his glasses up to rub his eyes. “If system checks didn’t catch the safeguards, who else’s planes could have problems too? Who else could end up like us? Or worse?”

They were both quiet for a moment. The stare they shared was still and harrowing. It could have been Payback and Fanboy. It could have been Coyote, Rooster, or even Hangman the self proclaimed god himself. Any one of their friends could have been in their shoes, could have made different decisions and ended up in only three endpoints: alive, maimed, or dead.

Phoenix had to think of herself and her WSO. Bob was her responsibility and she would do everything in her power to bring her backseater home, no matter who they were. Bob, bless his heart, thought only mostly of their friends. He trusted Natasha explicitly and knew he never needed to worry about her decision making skills. It was everyone else, whom he couldn’t evaluate crisis situation control with, that was making his skin crawl. The 'what ifs'.

“That’s not something we can think about,” Phoenix drawled, drifting her eyes closed. “This mission is life or death, just like what we dealt with today. We have to work through it. It was a freak accident that we went down and a freak accident that we lived.”

“I disagree with that last part,” Bob replied, staring at his partner incredulously. She looked like a shadow of herself, shockingly resigned in herself. Her usually pulled back hair was down loose around her shoulders and pinned above her ears. She looked younger, and probably the most scared Bob had ever seen her. “There was no accident in our living. It’s because you took control and did everything perfectly.”

“Perfect,” she sneered, her head back in her hands. “If it was perfect, we wouldn’t have ended up in the hospital. We would have landed safe on base with everyone else.”

Bob slid towards her and knelt before his pilot. His blue eyes were stern. “We ended up in the hospital. Yeah, so what? A few scratches and bruises is pretty ok with me when we could have ended up as minced meat at the bottom of the desert, Natasha. That’s perfect for me.”

Bob wriggled his fingers at her. “Look. Ten fingers. Ten toes. All moving, barely any pain and really only a bruised face from my landing which you couldn’t control: that was all me. And look at you!” He motioned at her to look at herself. “You have barely a scratch on you. Not even a bruise from what I see. Phoenix. You were perfect.”

She was quiet for a second, tears pricking at her eyes. She was perfect, yet he was not. “You’re my responsibility, Bobby,” she whispered at the popcorn ceiling, suddenly more interesting than her partner. “All I thought about was what Maverick said: 'what would you tell their families? Would your excuse be good enough for them?'”

The silence in the room weighed heavy as they both pondered the question. Natasha leaned back into Bob with her elbows on her knees, her fingers looping through his. “If you died, Bob, my excuse would have never been good enough. Not to your wife, your sisters, your mom. You died because of a bird? I would have never been able to face them knowing that my inability to control the plane in an emergency was the reason you didn’t come home. I’d be–”. She trailed.

“A failure,” Bob finished for her. Her throat was tight, a stray tear leaving a glistening streak down her cheek.

"Yeah. That."

His brushed the tear away with the inside of his sleeve and let his hand moved to the back of her hair, forcing her forehead to his. She stiffened for a moment, but relaxed into his grip realizing he had no intention of pulling her further. They closed their eyes at the same time. He took a deep breath and she took one as well, matching his pace. Their fingers tightened on each other, feeling the ridges of their fingerprints, the peaks and valleys of each other’s knuckles. They were whole. They were here. They were still together.

Phoenix broke peace first to look up at Bob, his glasses reflecting her tired eyes. “We’re ok?”

Bob separated their heads, both of his hands on top of hers. He gave them a shake with a reassuring smile. “Yeah. Yeah, we’re ok.”

“I’ll protect you always, Bob. I swear that.”

“And I swear I’ll protect you too. It’ll get better, right?”

“Yeah. Yeah it will.”

Phoenix moved to stand from the chair, but Bob cleared his throat and stood a little too quickly with her. “You know Nat, we’re both bushed. It’s a long walk back to your dorm and it's late. You should just… stay? You’ll sleep easier without Hangman’s snoring.”

Phoenix raised her eyebrow to the bare bed across from Bob’s, her arms crossed. “Mixing genders in the dorm is usually frowned upon, Lieutenant Floyd. And besides, it's down the hall. What are you talking about?”

A flush ran across his face. “Alright, look, I’d sleep better knowing you were– here. So we can help each other if we need it, you know?” He went radio quiet, rubbing the top of his flannel sheet nervously. “I’m honestly afraid that if I try to go down, I’ll just panic.”

Natasha knew how hard that was for Bob to admit. Bob, sweet and kind nd strong in his own right, was not used to trauma. He never had a situation occur with himself that he needed to work through as hard as this. Phoenix traipsed over to Bob’s bunk, pulling out his storage container for an extra fitted sheet and quilt. She made the bed less than efficiently before scrambling up the ladder to lay down. 

“I just gotta leave by sunup so Hangman doesn’t start making up rumors. You know he loves stirring the pot.”

Bob’s toothy grin was infectious as he tossed one of his pillows in her direction. She caught it with a puff of clean soap and lavender filling her nose. He turned off his desk lamp and clambered up into his own bunk.  “Thanks Pheenie.”

“No problem Bobby boy. Get some rest.”

Loophole (15)

“Y/N?” 

All four of them turned their heads toward the familiar voice. Their eyes widened in disbelief and Y/N’s body visibly relaxed. 

Yelena was sitting in an ambulance car, holding an oxygen mask on her face as a medic was checking her vitals. She seemed more than alive but visibly pissed. Her hair in a ponytail was messy and there was some dust covering her body and clothes. She was holding a thick folder filled with papers tightly in her grip. She protected them as if it was her child.

Y/N ran to her, immediately pulling her into a tight hug, crying in relief. “You are alive,” she whispered as tears kept falling down her face. “Fuck, I thought I lost you, Lenka. I thought I fucking lost you,” she kept weeping. The feeling of relief was nice. All the mixed emotions in the last half an hour got her and now she needed to loosen up the valve.

“I’m okay,” Yelena whispered, hugging her tightly. “I’d never let them kill me. Although I had to admit, that was a close one.” 

The boys came to them, glad that Yelena was alive and well. When Y/N pulled away, Yelena put the oxygen mask back on and took a few more deep breaths. It seemed like a miracle she was unharmed and survived the explosion.

“What happened?” Sam asked, curious to know more details about the incident. 

“In all honesty, I don’t know exactly what happened,” she started to talk. “One second I’m on the phone with Y/N and suddenly, I feel a force throwing me against the wall as the place goes boom. The walls are falling, people are screaming and I am on the floor, covered in some wood and pieces of wall. Thank God I was about to leave the apartment. The walls around the door protected me, I think.” 

“Do you think it was a bomb?” Bucky asked. 

“I don’t know. I think it could have been from a gun, a bazooka or something that fired straight into the living room from another building,” she shrugged. “Good thing I got this,” she waved with the folder. “Honestly, I don’t know which one is worse – this,” she waved the folder, “or that,” and she pointed at the damaged building.

Y/N frowned. “What if they were after it? Maybe there is something inside that they don’t want us to see.” 

“Girl, I’ve read it briefly and you will not love what is inside of the documents,” Yelena shook her head. “We’ll discuss it once we are far away from this place where we can be sure no one is listening and watching.” 

Y/N’s phone rang. When she took it out of the pocket, she saw Ace’s name on the display. “What do you want? Quick, because I don’t have much time,” she said grumpily. The fact that he was calling at this very moment was suspicious.

Ace: I’ve heard there was an explosion at Yelena’s. Are you alright? 

Y/N squinted, eyes slowly finding Bucky’s who was already staring at her. Yes, it was too suspicious. “We’re fine. Everyone is fine and well.”

Ace: Good, that’s good. Can we meet and talk about it?

She shook her head and looked around, scanning all the people staring at the tragedy that happened. A shiver ran down her spine. “No, I need to sort things out now. I’ll talk to you later, or tomorrow.” She ended the call and turned back to Yelena.

“Who was it?”

“Ace,” said Y/N without any emotion in her voice. “Such a weird timing for a call, don’t you think? Anyway, how are you feeling? You good to go?” she stroked Yelena’s back. 

She was about to reply when one of the cops approached the group. “Miss Fox?” he asked for Y/N. “I need to talk to you for a minute, please.” When Y/N looked into his face, she recognized the man. In the past, Y/N helped them get evidence for a murder case that happened in Queens. Peter also helped and she paid him well for his services.

Together, they left the group, walking farther away from them. “Officer, it’s been a while,” she winked at him. “How you’ve been doing? How’s the wife and job?” 

He shrugged. “Well, with the things happening these past few weeks, I had a lot of work to do – and some clean-up, if you will.” Hearing that, Y/N cleared her throat. “First, your father had the funeral that ended with an explosion that destroyed the body – not mentioning more casualties. Now, it’s an apartment that also has something to do with you and your family. What the hell is going on?” 

“Listen, I’m sorry for complicating things and believe me when I say, that I am doing my best to solve this problem and clean up after us,” she sighed. “It’s been a hell of a ride and I believe that in a few days, it will all end. I know that we are putting people in danger but we are trying to keep it within our circle. Obviously, we are not doing a great job.” 

“Well, I hope this will all end very soon, Ms Fox,” he huffed, tired after the day he had. “It’s becoming more difficult to cover up after you,” he said. “I’ve been talking to Mr Wilson or Mr Lang about everything that has been going on around you. Promise me that the war happening between all of you will end soon. I really need a day off.” 

She frowned at him. “As I said, officer. I will handle the situation and end this nonsense. It won’t take much longer and everything will be solved. I can promise you that,” and she left him standing there, heading back to her group. 

“Can we go?” Y/N asked Yelena when the blonde put away the oxygen mask. Her mood shifted visibly.

She nodded. “Listen, Barnes offered us a shelter for the night,” she pointed a finger at the Wolf. “I think it would be a nice slumber party, don’t you think?” she winked at her. 

Y/N turned her head to Bucky, raising a brow. “Yeah, please, come and stay for the night. Lay low and we can talk more about,” he pointed at the folder Yelena was still holding, “that thing over there. Plus, I think it won’t be wise to stay the night in Queens. It’s dangerous. Also,” he continued, “you don’t have a place to live.” 

“Huh,” Y/N grinned at him. “I mean, sure, we can. It’s been a rough day. Fuck, it’s been a rough month I’d say. I need a strong drink and a nice warm bed.”

“You and me both, sister,” Yelena yawned. “And I need a shower to shower off this day and the dirt – and maybe after that to take shower to shower of the first shower.”

Y/N laughed at her sentence, shaking her head. “I’m glad you are fine,” she gave her one last hug. 

Both women went to Y/N’s car where she helped Yelena take a seat. Y/N was the driver. The Wolves took Steve’s car. Before they drove away, leaving another past behind them (for now), Y/N took a quick glance at Barnes who was sitting next to Steve. He let Steve drive his car. Unknowingly, she put a smile on her face. 

“What is that? What the fuck is that on your face, Y/N?” Yelena pointed a finger at her when she noticed her lips crook up. “What happened that I don’t know about?” 

“What?” Y/N chuckled. “Nothing happened, Lenka. I promise.” 

But that wasn’t the answer she was looking for. “No, no, don’t lie to me, Y/N. I have been noticing your behaviour and your body language for the last few days. I can see the change,” she laughed. “Tell, me, what happened when you were with Barnes today? Do you think about him in more ways than one?” 

Y/N kept her eyes locked on the road. “I told him what really happened to his parents and we talked about it. Nothing more. Nothing is happening, my friend.” 

“You really like that fucker, don’t you,” she teased her some more. “Come on, admit it finally.”

Y/N bit her lower lip and shook her head. Her cheeks were already red and burning. “Unfortunately, I have to say… I do like him, Yelena.” 

“Ha!” she screamed with excitement. “I knew it. I told you, there is a thin line between love and hate, Y/N. You went from hating him, to loving him,” she danced with her hands in the air as if nothing happened to her minutes ago. “There is a thing line between love and hate,” she sang. “There is a thin line between love and hate.”

Y/N raised a brow. “Are you done now?” she said strictly. 

“No, my friend. I will be done until you two kiss and reveal your feelings.”

The traffic light turned red and Y/N stepped on the brake, making Yelena bump her hands on the dashboard. “Ouch,” she hissed. “Don’t be mean, Y/N. I’m just excited.” 

“He doesn’t like me that way,” said Y/N neutrally. 

“Oh, come on, have you seen how he looks at you? That man craves you. He wants to be with you.” 

“Oh my god,” she rolled her eyes. “Can we talk about it at least when we are done with other shit that we have going on?” she asked, annoyed. After that, the conversation died and they remained silent until they arrived at Barnes’ mansion. It wasn’t an uncomfortable silence. Yelena kept grinning at her boss like a child that knew what kind of present they’d have under the Christmas tree. 

“Ladies,” Sam smiled at them once they stepped out of the car and all three men were waiting for them at the main entrance door. “Follow us.”

All of them took seats in the lounge room. There was a modern fireplace with a white couch set where at least ten people could sit. Bucky brought five glasses with a golden rim while Steve took a bottle of whisky from a cabinet where were many more bottles of expensive alcohol. Once the drinks were poured and everyone was sitting around the coffee table, the discussion could begin. 

“Uh,” Yelena looked at the folder she kept on her lap. “I had the opportunity to have a look at the papers… and, well, you will not going to like what is written there.” With that being said, she handed the folder to Y/N and quickly drank the alcohol in one go. Seeing that Y/N wasn’t ready to open the folder, Yelena continued. “There is a loophole – in order to avoid giving Queens to Hydra, you need to marry someone.” 

The liquid got through the wrong pipe and Y/N started to couch, shocked by what she heard. “Say what now? What the fuck?” she tried to catch her breath and talk at the same time. When she was finally able to breathe, she put the glass back on the table and opened the folder. The Wolves had the same surprised expressions on their faces. 

“What the fuck? This isn’t the eighteen century anymore,” Bucky scoffed. “What kind of bullshit did your father come up with?” 

Y/N was already reading through the papers, trying to connect the dots and find all the information. “Shit,” she said under her nose when she found what she was looking for. 

“In order to null and void the agreement between Alexander Pierce and Attila Fox, Ms Y/N Fox has to marry before the end of the deadline, where after Mr Fox’s death, the business in Queens must be transferred to Alexander Pierce,” she started to read out loud. “This act will transfer the family business to the husband that will become the new head of the family and the business.” Y/N’s face was red and ready to burst with rage. 

She continued. “In order to null and void the agreement… both siblings, Daniel Fox and Y/N Fox must be alive… What kind of fucking bullshit is this?!” she wasn’t able to finish the sentence. “Those fuckers knew what they were doing. God fucking dammit!” 

“They knew that by killing Danny, you won’t be able to find anyone to marry once your father dies,” said Yelena. “They had it all prepared and figured out.”

“They got rid of Daniel and waited until your father passed. With everything that’s been going on, they used the opportunity to wait a bit longer before reaching to you and giving you the document about Queens,” Steve joined in. 

“Those fuckers had it all planned since the beginning,” Bucky continued. “If Danny was alive-“

“They’d still go after him and not me,” Y/N jumped in. “Hydra would wait it out for a better opportunity and kill him later.” She put the papers on the coffee table and stood up, drinking the rest of the liquid. Without waiting, she threw the glass into the fireplace. Her blood was boiling and she felt pressure on her chest. Bucky didn’t say a word about the glass. He did the same hours ago. 

“Wow, you two really belong together,” Yelena commented. “What is with all the glass throwing? Is it some new competition or…?”

Y/N glared at her but didn’t say a word. The silence that spread around the room was uncomfortable. No one knew what to say or what to do. It seemed they were in a blind alley. Y/N hid her face in the palms of her hands. “I have over thirty days,” she mumbled into the hands. “Fuck.” 

“Listen,” Bucky started to talk calmly. “I think everyone needs some rest and have a good sleep. And maybe, just maybe, a few days off to gain energy and think clearly.” Silently, they all nodded. “Ladies, come, I’ll show you where you’ll stay for the night.” 

As promised, Bucky lead them into a guest bedroom. There was a big bed with fresh new sheets. There was a pile of clothes sitting on top of an armchair. “I called my butler to prepare the room while we were driving here,” he explained. “It’s all men’s clothes, I hope that’s fine.” 

“It’s better than nothing.” Y/N smiled at him. “That’s alright. Thank you, Buck.” 

“I’m going to leave you alone. Steve and Sam will be staying here for the night too. Also, you’ll find some toiletries in the bathroom. In case you need something, call me. Good night.”

“Nighty-night Wolf,” Yelena waved a hand with a teasing smile on her face. She noticed how his eyes lingered on Y/N and barely once looked directly at her. When the door closed, she reached into the pile and took out a black t-shirt. “Well, I’m going to take a shower and I let you daydream about him alone.”

“You are not funny, Yelena.”  

…

It was two in the morning and Y/N couldn’t sleep. Yelena was resting on her side, back to her friend and sleeping peacefully. No wonder, she escaped death by a miracle. She deserved a peaceful night. Y/N, on the other hand, didn’t. As much as she tried not to blame herself for the failure, she went there with her thoughts, shaking her head in disbelief. 

Was there anything she could do? No matter what kind of idea popped inside her head, it wasn’t enough. It all seemed stupid and too risky. This time, she knew she couldn’t do it alone if she wanted to see another day. 

Turning to her left side, she huffed. Suddenly, she felt a familiar scent in her nose. It reminded her of Bucky. Was the sweatshirt she was wearing his? It was possible. She knew he had a cologne that smelled exactly like this. And then, her mind was filled with moments she spent with him. From the night she faced him at her club until this very day. What was she feeling? It was a stupid question – she knew exactly what she felt towards that man. She kept thinking about him a lot more the past few days. Hell, she was excited to see him. 

Groaning, she slowly stood up from the bed and quietly moved to the door, leaving Yelena alone in the bed. A glass of water would refresh her dry mouth. She could go to the bathroom and drink there straight from the sink, but she didn’t want to disturb her slumber. 

Walking through the dark hallways, she was surprised she could find the main stairs that lead her to the lower floor. From there, she was able to spot the entrance into the kitchen. 

A small, automatic light turned on, making it a little bit easier to walk around. There was a glass cupboard where she found big glasses. Huh, Ikea, she thought. As much as she wanted to be silent, she managed to close the door with a thud, cursing under her nose. Shit.

When she finally poured some fresh cold water into the glass, she took it into a barstool where she sat and drink it. The automatic light turned off and she was sitting there in the darkness. Y/N didn’t mind; she welcomed it. 

She rested her elbow on the expensive marble counter and leaned her chin against the palm. She yawned and blinked a few times. The feeling of letting everyone down crept in. Maybe Tony was right; maybe they all were right – she couldn’t do this alone. She had to discuss her sudden plans at least with someone in the future – Yelena, Bucky… Bucky. Fucking Bucky. 

Sighing, she bit her lower lip and put a smile on her face. Fuck Yelena for always being right. Of course, there was a thin line between love and hate. Was it love or still a crush? No, it wasn’t a crush, not anymore.

“Y/N?” she heard her voice from the entrance door. Snapping out of her thoughts, she turned to the voice, surprised to see Bucky standing there. The automatic light turned on. Her breath got hitched in her throat when she took in his figure. This was the first time ever she saw more of his skin. He stood there in his sweatpants, his abs on display only for her. “I heard a noise.” 

“Sorry,” she apologised. “I accidentally smacked the cupboard door.”

He approached her. “Why are you up?”

“Can’t sleep. I have a lot of things on my mind and they are keeping me awake,” she admitted. “Why are you up?” 

He shrugged. “Some adrenaline, some thoughts running through my mind – it is a lot. Plus, I finished the paperwork I started today before you arrived. A-are you sure you are alright?” he stood next to her and stroked her shoulder. 

Sighing, she shrugged. “Just, thoughts, that’s all.” 

Bucky grinned at her. “What are you thinking about?” he kept the hand on her shoulder, enjoying he could feel her under his hand. 

“I’m trying to come up with a plan. I’m trying to figure out my next move and can’t come up with anything. It’s frustrating.” She tried to keep it together while he remained standing close to her. She could feel his body heat radiating and the fact he was half-naked wasn’t helping at all. She wanted to turn around and bite his ab. What the fuck is wrong with me? At least she turned around on the barstool and faced him.

But Bucky noticed how her body tensed a little, how she kept eyeing him. He took a step closer and put his hand on her cheek, gently stroking it. This was his moment and he had to take his shot. “Y/N, I-“ he cut off the sentence. “I’m here for you. If you need anything, please, come to me. I care about you and I want to be there for you.”

“I care about you too,” she admitted out loud, putting a hand over his big one. “I’m sorry I had to be the one to break the news about your parents.”

“That’s fine,” he smiled at her. “I’m glad you did. It shows that you really care about me.” 

She put a smile on her face. “Yeah, you wish, Barnes.”

“Mhm, I wish for a lot of things, you know?” he tilted his head. That’s when he saw it in her eyes. When she didn’t say a word and kept her eyes locked on his, Bucky leaned forward, brushing his lips against hers, kissing them gently. “I also wished for this,” he whispered when his lips pulled away slightly. 

She closed the gap, kissing him again and deepening it instantly. Her hands wrapped around his neck, needing to feel him as close as possible. His arms slid down her face and wrapped around her waist. He took her off the barstool and put her on top of the marble counter. He did it easily as if she weighed like a feather. 

He stood in between her legs, not breaking the kiss. It was all tongue and teeth, enjoying the feeling of the kiss they both longed for. Their tongues battled like wrestlers. Here and there, one of them would moan into the kiss. Before the kiss ended, he quickly pecked them one last time before he looked into her eyes, smiling at her. “How am I going to let you go after this?” he asked into the aether. 

“Buck,” she sighed and rested a hand over his left pectoral. Before she could continue, his lips were on hers again, kissing the living daylights out of her. It was a kiss she read about in stories and saw in movies and yet it was still better. She pulled away gently. “Marry me,” she said out of the blue.

“What?” he laughed, ready to be back on her lips again. 

“Marry me, for 48 hours,” she said again with a serious voice. 

Bucky shook his head and bumped his nose lovingly with hers. “No, if I’m going to marry you, I will marry you forever and not just for 48 hours,” he said with all seriousness in his voice. 

She couldn’t believe what he said to her. Without thinking, she was back on him. She longed for him even more than before. It was a hungry kiss. He admitted he’d want to marry her forever. Y/N thought her heart would jump out of her chest and run to his arms. 

His hands slowly moved to her covered hips, gripping them tightly. Bucky was enjoying her wandering hands over his chest, lightly scratching him. As much as he enjoyed her touch, he didn’t want to overstep – not after what she’s been through. 

Bucky pulled away and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. “We should slow down,” he said. “I don’t want to make you uncomfortable or anything,” he admitted. 

After hearing that, she couldn’t believe what he said. Was it possible to love him even more? Her eyes widened. The realization hit her like a train. Burying the thought, she quickly nodded. “You are right. Thank you.”

“I’ll think about the marriage proposal,” he said when he pulled away from her. “Damn, I thought I’d be the one proposing to you and not vice versa.” It made her laugh. “Please,” he reached for her hand and kissed the top of it. “Go to bed and get some sleep. You need it. We’ll hang out more tomorrow morning.” 

Drinking the rest of the water, she walked to the sink where she put the glass. “Alright, I’ll go to bed.”

Before she left, he stopped her. Quickly walking to her, he had to give her one last kiss for goodnight. He couldn’t help himself. After that, he watched her leave the kitchen. 

Finally, he was able to make a move and she reciprocated his feelings. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t kiss him like that, right? In the end, it was worth it. Everything was worth it… And he was in love. 

When Y/N came back to her bedroom and hid under the covers, she couldn’t put the smile away from her face. She felt the rush of new emotion that dominated her body. It made her want to stay in that state as long as possible. As she closed her eyes, ready to sleep, all she could feel were his lips on hers. She went to the kiss over and over again, remembering every second of it. All she wanted was to be kissed by him again.

In the morning, Yelena was the first one up, yawning loudly and stretching her body. With those movements, she woke up Y/N. “Sorry,” Yelena mumbled with a deeper voice and rolled over to face Y/N. She had to laugh. Her friend’s hair was messy and she looked terrible in the morning. 

“God, you are like a worm, squirming in the bed,” Y/N commented with a sleepy voice. 

“Ah, you are the one to talk Miss I moan and laugh in my sleep,” she smacked her covered shoulder. “Was it at least a good dream? Was it about Barnes?” she wiggled her brows suggestively. When she saw Y/N’s annoyed face, she started to talk again. “What? I thought that it would be about him since you have this little crush going on?” 

Without any hesitation, Y/N admitted what happened at night. “I kissed him.” 

“Wow, spicy,” Yelena laughed. “Could you feel it in the dream? Because sometimes, I can feel some things happening to me in my dreams-“

“No,” Y/N shook her head. She looked into Yelena’s eyes, not moving them away. “We kissed, again, in the middle of the night. We met in the kitchen.” Her cheeks reddened and she couldn’t help but put that happy smile back on her face. 

“No shit!”

“Yeah,” Y/N nodded. “I wanted water, made some noise and he came into the kitchen. We talked and then we kissed,” she said. “We kissed a lot and fuck, he is an amazing kisser. Also, I asked him to marry me for... “

“Wait, no, hold on,” Yelena quickly sat up and smacked her with a pillow. “You did what? No, honey, no, don’t do this,” she shook her head. “At least try him in bed to know whether you are compatible or not.” 

Y/N’s expression talked for her. “Calm down, Yelena. Of course, we are not getting married.” 

“Thank god, because I’d be pissed if you were and I didn’t know about it at all,” she crossed her arms akimbo. “So tell me more about that steamy night.” 

Y/N pushed Yelena back down and snuggled closer to her. “I really like him, Lenka. I’ve never felt like that before in my entire life. It scares me, though.” 

Yelena kissed her forehead and smiled happily. “I’m glad this feeling has awoken inside of you. All I want is for you to be happy and live a little. Even though a lot of dark things happened to you, you still deserve a great, happy life filled with love.” 

Y/N nodded. “I’ve been in denial but now, I feel some sort of freedom. As if a heavy weight was lifted off my chest by admitting those feelings – to myself. And what more, he was the one who initiated the kiss.”

“I’m so glad,” Yelena sighed contently. “But if that fucker hurts you, I’m going to chop off his balls.” 

They stayed in the bed for another hour, talking, discussing the night. Before they decided to leave the bed and face the new day, Yelena stopped her from leaving. “Can I ask you something?” 

“Sure, what is it?” 

Yelena bit her lip and sighed. “Can I get some time off? Not long, a few days at least? I need to gain energy before we come up with a plan on stopping Hydra.” 

Y/N nodded immediately. “Of course, you can. I think we all need it. Everyone will lay low for a few days and then, we will figure things out.”

[sabo-has-my-heart]

i enjoy your angst asl x mother reader fic so much TT AND can i request where sabo learns from ace and luffy that their mother is gone? ++++ more angst? THANK YOU SM AUTHOR

I hope this is angsty enough for you. I ended it in a small bit of fluff to stop my own tears and don't worry, I have a part 3 planned.

Pt 1, Pt 2.5, Pt 2.5 Rewrite, Pt 3

Tears dotted the newspaper in front of Sabo as he shook his head. This couldn’t be true, this article had to be a lie. Wind Witch Y/N died to save FireFist Ace and Strawhat Luffy. His mother couldn’t be dead, she was his mother, she was the strongest woman he knew, she couldn’t be gone.

“Mother!” Sabo screamed before blacking out.

~~

Ace stood aboard his striker, his mother’s urn in his pack as Mt. Corvo and Dawn Island came into view. The last few weeks had been hard, he’d lost 2 found parents. The mother who’d raised him and the father who’d taken him in, two different families yet neither was more important than the other. The fire user rubbed the fresh tears away, still needing to see well enough to steer the striker, he could cry when he got home. Not that getting home took him too long, the people of Foosha Village, particularly Makino, welcomed him, attempting to console him as he headed for his childhood home.

The house was mostly the same as when he’d left 3 years ago with the exception of a small mess that you’d left behind. A cup of tea that had long since gotten cold and an empty plate with what looked like molding cake crumbs sat on the coffee table in front of the couch. Your pajama shirt was thrown over the back of the couch and your pajama pants were strewn across the floor 3 feet away. Laying next to the couch, in a heap on the floor, was a newspaper, Ace could easily read the headlines from the front door, ‘Fire Fist Ace captured’. It didn’t take a genius to figure out that you’d read that headline and had immediately hurried off to save him. The young man rubbed away more tears as he set his green pack on the couch, putting your urn on the coffee table before beginning to take care of the few things that had been left out. A stack of books with his and Luffy’s names on them, sitting against the front of the couch, caught his eye. He’d look through those later, if he knew you as well as he thought he did, they were scrapbooks, like the ones you’d made with the 3 of them when they were younger.

Standing outside a familiar home, Sabo’s hands shook. Was he supposed to knock? Would anyone even answer? The papers said that you were dead, but what if it was a lie? Maybe if he knocked, or even just walked in and called out for you, it would be like he never left. You’d smile at him, hurry over to him and scoop him up into a loving hug just like you had 10 years ago. You’d give him that same, happy laugh as you told him to wash his hands before you got him a snack or scold him for getting into so much trouble while holding him tightly because of how worried you were.

“Hey! Who are you and what are you doing here?” a voice called out from behind him. Sabo turned around, he didn’t even need the wanted poster to recognize Ace, the freckles mixed with the unruly black hair were signature enough.

“I uh, I suppose it has been 10 years since I was here last. It’s uh, it’s good to see you alive and… I hope you’re doing well.” Sabo said with a sad smile, watching as Ace’s eyes narrowed.

“I asked who you were and what you were doing here.” Ace growled, flames already dancing across his fingers.

“Whoa, Whoa! Calm down! It… it’s me, Ace. It’s Sabo.” the blond said, trying to calm the other boy down. Not that it worked as Sabo suddenly found himself flat on his back on the ground with a fire lit fist inches from his face.

“Listen close, I don’t know who you are or what kind of sick joke you’re trying to play, but my brother Sabo died 10 years ago, so you have about 10 seconds to start explaining yourself before I scar the other side of your face.” Ace ground out, a familiar anger in his eyes.

“Ace, stop! It really is me! I’m not dead! I didn’t die that day I swear! Listen, listen I uh… you, me, Luffy, and mom had a secret place on the mountain, nobody else, not even Dadan knew of this place. It’s behind a waterfall and through a cave, there’s a large field of flowers! It was her favorite place to go! She took a picture with the three of us in that field!” Sabo rattled off, making Ace’s eyes widen.

“S-Sabo?” Ace asked, the fire dying down as his arm relaxed. Sabo breathed a quick sigh of relief, one that came too soon as he suddenly felt Ace’s fist connect with his cheek.

“Where the hell were you? We thought you were dead, mom thought you were dead! She died wishing you were there with us!” Ace shouted, tears now streaming down his cheeks, still sitting on top of his brother.

“I know. I’m sorry, I… I lost my memory. When I… that day when I set sail, I was shot down and lost my memory.” Sabo said quietly as identical tears began to make their way down his face as well.

“I… when I read about her death… tell me it’s not true, tell me that she didn’t actually die in order for me to remember?” Sabo begged, looking pleadingly up at his brother. Ace just shook his head, still crying as he got off his brother and pulled Sabo up and into a tight embrace. He’d never been one for such shows of affection, but right now, the two brothers mourned their mother together.

“She… I saw her die, she… she died in my arms. I couldn’t… Luffy and I… we couldn’t do anything. I felt so useless, so powerless. She’s gone and there was nothing I could do.” Ace sobbed into his brother’s shoulder, Sabo’s arms wrapping around him. The two boys sat there in the grass in front of their childhood home for some time, just crying over the loss of their mother.

“She… she thought of you in her last moments.” Ace muttered as he pulled away, trying to wipe away the tears, only for them to be replaced by more. She said that if you were there that she’d tell you that she was proud of you, she said…” Ace tried to hold back the fresh tears that stung his eyes, even as the old tears continued to fall, “She said to follow your heart, no matter what the damned nobles, what your parents, thought. She wanted you to live your life how you wanted.” Ace said, causing his brother to sob into his gloved hand. Even in your last moments you’d thought of him, thought about his happiness.

“She… where is she buried?” Sabo asked, though the words were distorted by his sobs.

“She’s cremated. I’ll take you.” Ace said before getting up, helping Sabo up as well.

The blond choked out a sob as he and Ace walked behind a waterfall, following the small cave behind it.

“You placed her here?” Sabo asked, looking at the dark cave.

“Where else? It was her favorite place to be.” Ace said, the two boys exiting the cave into a beautiful field of flowers a couple minutes later. In the center of the field was a single large tree, under the tree was a large stone statue. Even from here, Sabo recognized it. It was one of the pictures you’d taken with the three of them in the field of flowers. You kneeled behind the three of them, right hand on Ace’s shoulder and left hand on Luffy’s shoulder as Sabo stood in front of you, all three of you smiling. As the boys got closer Sabo spotted a metal urn with your name carved into it.

“Ace, I… she…” Sabo couldn’t even find the words, let alone say what he was thinking. Ace just put a hand on his brother’s shoulder, he understood, they didn’t need words, even having been apart for 10 years, they still understood each other.

It was a few days later that Sabo headed back out, telling Ace that he was going to find your devil fruit and that when he did, he’d let Ace know about it. He’d offered for Ace to join him at Baltigo, but the fire user had another place to hide, apparently, he had friends that he wanted to catch up to. With one final embrace, the boys separated again, 3 brothers on the seas, separated by miles but still held close. Ace had told him that Luffy was training, but Sabo knew he’d see his brother again soon.
