Youth's Life
Sometimes I wonder if adults have easier life than highschoolers…
Marco looked at a paper on his hand with a ticked off expression.
"Bad results again, huh? That young master…." The young light brown haired man muttered darkly.
No, adults certainly have more problems to solve, like how to make a living, how to handle a love affair and such… That's why… why can't that brat pay more attention to his one and only problem!? What's so hard about doing his test seriously!?
Marco was about to explode. He crushed the end-year report while twitching. "If I find him wandering around and playing after this, I'll make sure to tell his dad to punish him severely."
Marco swore silently and kept the report behind his coat as he walked back to his master's car. He had to report this immediately… after he found his young master, of course.
Newgate wouldn't like this. He expected more from Ace than his playful personality and Marco was left with the task to educate the brat, but with that kind of result… It's not even strange if he was fired after this.
It wasn't like Ace was stupid or anything. He was brilliant, a genius even. It's just…he lacked of responsibility. He wouldn't do what he hated doing. Then what should Marco do to convince the boy?
Marco realized fully that people weren't judged by the end-year report, but at least it could give the society a slight idea that they're educated. Didn't Ace realize that?
Marco stopped and sighed. He definitely needed a rest…and a LOT of calcium to maintain his temper. He leaned against a tree in the school yard and paid more attention to his surroundings.
A green haired boy was arguing with his blond friend, or…more like having a lovers' quarrel in Marco's eyes.
Aren't those Ace's friends…Zoro and Sanji? Fuh, they're so lovey-dovey as usual…
Marco turned his face right and immediately saw a sulky looking red haired man being cased around by a grinning black haired boy.
Isn't that Luffy? Still hasn't given up with that pretty gothic kid, huh?
Marco smiled in amusement, feeling a bit entertained somehow.
That's right. Youth should be like that… Plays a lot, falls in love and muses over bad marks.
"Marco!"
Suddenly someone jumped him from above. Both fell to the ground.
"Ouch…, Ace, you…!" Marco glared at the boy grinning on top of his stomach.
"You're picking me up?" The freckled boy asked seeming having too much fun.
"You're gonna get punished for the report," Marco said indifferently. "Now get off. I can't move like this."
Ace smirked at that. "I won't mind being punished if it's you."
Marco dropped his jaw, slightly blushing. "Impossible…! You're doing it on purpose!?"
"Nyahaha! Come and punish me, Marco!" Ace had run away as he said that.
"That brat…!" Marco stood and dusted off his clothes.
He was sooo going to punish the younger boy later for messing around with the adult like him.
Definitely… youth's life is easier than adults…
The End
A/N: This is the longer version of 'Youth's Life' that I posted at my LJ. I definitely like this one better since it's more detailed. Oh, I really want to write the punishment as well, but the rating would surely go UP to M if I continued XDDD. Well, hope this entertain you all! See ya in the next project! Comments?
