Ace smiled as he twirled his way around the pole, his hands grasping the metal to pull himself up and around, only half listening to the wolf whistles that seemed to go in time with the music. When his feet finally touched the ground he swayed his hips and winked at the crowd. Turning around with a flourish he strutted off stage. The minute he knew the audience couldn't see him he scowled. Huffing to himself he walked back towards the dressing rooms, ignoring the chaos that was backstage at the Strip Club known as the "Will of D." His youngest brother had taken his discarded clothes and had promptly made a nest to sleep in, his blond brother on the other hand sat on a small love seat with the brother's shared laptop firmly seated in his lap.

"How's the crowd tonight?" Sabo inquired, speaking softly as to not wake their younger brother.

Ace turned his head, cracking his neck with a sickening sound before yawning out his answer "Dooofllaaamingo is out there, so Law is throwing a fit and making me do all the work."

Sabo hummed and glanced over at his brother, "Should we set Luffy on him?"

The freckled haired youth frowned, Law had asked Luffy out ages ago and they were technically dating. While Ace was happy for his rather dourer faced friend, he thought his brother could do better.

"Might have to, if Law doesn't start working were gonna lose intake…"

"Well I mean we can send Sanji or Usopp on stage." Sabo mused.

"Last time we got Usopp on stage he made us call him God Usopp for three days because he somehow ended up with more tip money then me and Law." He pouted, crossing his arms as he flopped on the couch.

"Can you at least put your pants back on?"

"Luffy is sleeping on all my clothes."

"I'M AWAKE! DON'T EAT THE MARSHMELLOWS WITHOUT ME!" Luffy suddenly screamed, his entire torso going straight up. Ace Jumped so high he fell off the couch, clutching at his heart he stared at his brother.

"They're gonna eat all my marshmallows!" Luffy mumbled, his eyes half closed.

"You tell them to stop eating your marshmallows." Sabo advised.

Luffy flopped back down without further prompt, his head slamming against the ground with residing thump, making his older brother flinch.

"Can't do much damage after Gramps dropped him so many times as a baby." The blond pondered, staring at his younger brother carefully until he could clearly see the rise and fall of his chest.

Ace scrambled forward, carefully checking over his brother with whispered curses.

"You're ten minutes are gonna be up soon."

"Shut the fuck up and help me get the god damn uniform from under him."

"I'm writing my mid-term paper."

"Shut the fuck up and help Sabo, or when I go grocery store I won't buy gummy worms."

A startled, betrayed gasp sounded throughout the room as Sabo all but flung the laptop off his lap and flogged over to his brother.

"Pure evil, you're pure evil."

Sabo told him, pulling the clothes as Ace lifted their younger brother.

"The firefighter or police officer?"

"Neither, Law wants us to go sequence."

Sabo hummed as he dug through the clothes to find the orange and red glittery filled short shorts. Once found, Ace put his brother back in the nest of clothes and grabbed the shorts.

"Gummy worms?"

"I'll get your god damn gummy worms, god act your age your 20 not 5." Ace scolded.

"Shut up you're the same way with your god damn warheads. So, don't you start."

"Whatever, Sabo how do I look?"

"Like your ass is on fire and you just had sex."

Ace paused on his way out the door, "You worry me."
