Disclaimer; I don't own One Piece.

Out of randomism (again) I decided to make a AceZoro paired story. Yes, randomism.

(sighing) I hate this season!! First it was scorching hot, then it turns freezing cold. What is wrong with this weather!? At least there is a slight chance we might get snow where I am living.


A loud noise of thunder and huge waves crashed on the ship of the Merry Go. This terrible weather was going on for two days and of course, Nami was very tired and weary. Her throat was rasp from screaming louder than the thunder and waves for just a simple order. Usopp was tired from running back and forth, fixing the ship as fast as possible. Sanji was tired for staying up making breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack, and midnight snack for everyone to replenish their energy. The rest of the crew was just listening to Nami's orders and munching on food at the same time. Luffy was clinging to the mast and was laughing happily. "He he!!! This weather is fun!!!"

Zoro, carrying planks of wood and following Usopp's track, rolled his eyes. "Would this get any worse!?"

It did.

The storm finally cleared up after the third day, and finally, Nami, Sanji, and Usopp can rest. Robin handed them a towel and coffee. "Thank you for all of the hard work. Don't worry, Cook-san, I'll make breakfast today."

"T-thank you Robin-chan." Sanji was too weak to make his eyes turn to hearts, so instead he puffed out heart-shaped smokes. Out of all the people, Luffy was the only one energized. Amazing, everyone thought.

Luffy rocked on a stool and glanced at a calendar at the corner of the room. He squinted at it-and he gasped. Everyone looked at him and cocked their head to the side. "What happened Luffy?"

"That calendar... is it on the right month...?"

Chopper walked close to the calendar and answered, "Yup, it's correct Luffy. Why?"

"...oops..."

Everyone was still confused. What was Luffy surprised about? They remained silent, until they heard a splash outside, and a slight noise of footsteps on their deck. Zoro swiftly pulled out his swords and cautiously stepped toward the door. Nami, Usopp, and Chopper hid behind the table and cheered for Zoro. The door opened and the sword landed on-the floor. Zoro gasped and turned his head upwards to see a man leap and land on top of his swords. Zoro glared, "Get off my swords." He saw the shadow of the young man turn his head to look at him, and reached out a hand.

The hand lightly stroked Zoro's hair. Feeling very uncomfortable, Zoro quickly let go of his sword and staggered back to a wall. The man laughed. "Roronoa Zoro, you're very fragile aren't ya!?"

Luffy fell off his stool, he recognized the voice. Sanji, Usopp, Nami, and Chopper remembered this voice very well too. Luffy stood up and pointed a finger at the man. "A-Ace!"

Ace laughed, "You're correct Luffy! Long time no see!"

Ace was in the usual nearly topless outfit, black pants, orange belt, and a tattoo of white beard imprinted on his back. He walked over to Luffy and bent down. Ace was a head higher than Luffy, and it seemed that Luffy was terrified . "Hello Luffy."

"H-hi Ace! What brings you here?"

Ace frowned. "You know why I am here." Luffy gulped and stared at the floor. Nami, still confused at why Ace is on the Merry Go on at normal basis, interrupted. "Why are you here really? We don't know either."

Ace straightened his back and smiled. "Ah, the reason? The reason is today is my birthday...and Luffy completely forgot to give me a present."

"I DIDN'T FORGET!!!"

Ace bent down to Luffy again, his eyes nearly closed as he stared at him. "Uh-huh really."

Luffy broke away from the stare. "R-really..."

"Then...where's the present?" Ace stretched out a hand and it poked Luffy's cheek, "Eh!?"

Nami finally understood why Ace was here. Huh...Luffy forgot to get him a birthday present...that's sweet. That's what I call...brotherly-love. She crossed her arms and nodded. I like this.

Luffy shoved away the hand, placed his hands on his hips, and finally looked at Ace's eyes. "...A present...right..."

"Yeah, a present. Every year I gave you presents and not even once you have given me. That's 10 years of empty birthday presents-not counting your 7 years because you were too young. Give me a present that will equal all of the 17 years of birthday presents I gave you."

Luffy thought for a few minutes; his crew was anxious to hear what he will say. "...Does it have to be a thing?"

"It can be anything as long as I like it."

The crew continued to stare at the D. brothers until they saw Luffy's eyes light up. His hand slowly moved and pointed to-Zoro. "You can have him for the whole day. That...will be my present to you." Zoro's eyes widened, Nami cracked open her eyes and ears, Sanji and Usopp both spat coffee at each other's faces, Robin placed her hand over her lip and smiled, and Chopper was looking at all of his crew-not getting the situation. Zoro dashed over to Luffy and grabbed his collar. "WHAT!?"

Luffy closed his eyes. "It's the captain's order."

"B-but..."

Ace titled his head over to Zoro. "That's my present? ...Let me see..." Zoro shivered when he realized that Ace was moving in towards him. He quickly released his hands that were holding Luffy's collar and stepped away from Ace. Zoro backed away so much-that he felt the wall touch his back. He was trapped.

Ace lightly stroked Zoro's hair again. This time, Zoro snarled. "What are you going to do with me!?"

Ace chuckled, "Oh please Zoro. It's just a test...just a test-" Right after he finished his sentence, his other hand lifted up Zoro's chin, and Ace's lip firmly pressed on Zoro's. Nami flashed a Polaroid camera at them and smiled, Sanji dropped his cigarette, Usopp placed his hands on his head and shrieked, and Robin was sipping coffee quietly.

Shocked, Zoro tried to push Ace away, but Ace was quicker. He grabbed Zoro's wrist and slammed it at a wall and gripped it tight. The pain from the hand made Zoro open his mouth a little-and Ace's tongue evaded into Zoro's mouth. Zoro felt the tongue slither everywhere in his mouth. It felt too good, and Zoro was terrified to find out that he actually enjoying it. He felt his body heat up and react-and he couldn't bear it. His legs collapsed, and Ace grasped Zoro's hip to support his weight.

For his crew, it was fascinating to see their strongest first mate being overpowered. They quietly stared at their 'kissing scene' with different facial expressions until Ace finally broke the kiss and let Zoro slide down to the floor.

Ace licked his lips. "Hmm. Good looking...nice reaction...slightly slim waist...good taste..." he paused and stared at Zoro who was trying to catch his breath again, "Sweet repeating breaths..." He turned to Luffy and smiled, "I like him! Thanks Luffy! One whole day right?"

Luffy sat up straight and nodded.

Ace lifted Zoro up and hoisted onto his shoulder. "Well, then...see you tomorrow morning!" He leaped over the ship and landed on his skateboard-looking ship. His legs flared and the ship blasted itself off and away from the Merry Go, carrying Zoro with it. Sanji wiped off the coffee off his face and shivered, "Ew, that was gross!!!!"

Nami blushed at the Polaroid picture. "That was sexy♥ I can't wait til-" she closed her mouth and drank her coffee.

Usopp crawled over to the rails of Merry and blinked. "T-the whole day!? With that homo!? Is Zoro going to be okay!?"

"I don't know." Robin calmly sipped her coffee, "Cook-san, may I have seconds?"


To Be Continued.

Yeay! AcexZoro! One of the pairings I like. (nods) I don't know Ace's birthday, so I had to round up the story a little so Luffy won't say, "Is today-???" I know the main character's birthdays, just Ace. If anybody knows Ace's birthday, review it to me. Just to add it to my favorite character's birthday collection.
