So here we are again. I actually manage to write this one down first :D. At school. Which was embarrassing . NEVER AGAIN.
Chopper: Eh? Why not
Way too many awkward questions and too much explaining!
Zoro: Then why did you take it in the first place?
Because I had a free period and I get bored.
Zoro: But you didn't even write it then, you did it in drama!
SHUT YOUR FACE!
Smoker tossed and turned in his bed. It had been like this for a while now. He hadn't had a decent night's sleep in weeks, ever since... He still half expected him to sneak through the marine's window as he used to. Of course that is ridiculous and Smokers knows that. He can't help but wish to that he was here next to him. To listen to that voice, to see that smile again is all he wants right now.
It's funny really, Smoker could have prevented this somewhat. If only they had met under different circumstances maybe he would be here now. The bed feels so much colder now. Strange though since Ace didn't actually spend every night with Smoker, just 1 or 2 a month but he supposed that it was because he knows Ace will never be there next to him again. It's horrible thinking that he can never share this, or any, bed with him again. Maybe Smoker should have saved him but his loyalty to the Marines always comes first. Ace knew that and understood it. He had done ever since they first spent the night together. In return if Smoker ever hunted down whitebeard Ace would be the first to attack if Marco hadn't get there first.
Even so Smoker was still angry when he heard of the plan to executed Fire-Fist Ace. Obviously he didn't project this anger in front of the crew. Tashigi knew though, she always knew. She didn't officially know about her Captain and Ace but she knew. She also knew better to confront the man about it. She knows where Smoker's loyalties lie. All the same it didn't stop him getting upset/ Of course he didn't cry. He couldn't and he wouldn't anyway. He's not that sort of man. In his heart he really wished the Strawhat would save but that didn't stop him trying his best to stop him.
Smoker had never had any regrets, never until now. He wished that he could have spent one last night with Ace. Just one more where he could savour the other's company in his bed. Where he could say all the things he should have said to him. Smoker was never one for sappiness but just for one night before his death he would had spilt his heart to Ace. Ace would never know how much Smoker cared for him. Love would be too strong a word. Maybe if they had spent more time together then maybe it could be called love.
Now Smoker lay in his bed, alone and cold. The Marine daren't roll on to the side Ace preferred. IT's stupid but it's like he might still want it. The heart does strange things to a man; even a hard-nut Marine like Smoker. He turned inwards a sighed deeply. Ace's wanted poster was still stuck to the wall. Ironically it was singed a bit from a fight right near the spot Akainu had stuck him. Smoker stared at the freckled boy's cheeky smile. The same smile that Ace used whenever he threaten to capture him if he didn't leave the room.
He really needed to take down that poster.
There, done. Yes another short fic but you stick to what you do best. It is slightly a song-fic. Well I got the idea from Alone in this bed by Framing Hanley. So Yeah :D.
Chopper: Where's Zoro?
I don't know.
Chopper: Bamii?
*muffled sounds*
What ever you do Chopper do not look in the trunk!
Review please :).
