Prompt- Cuddling
Rating-K+
The first and second division commanders had been given a mission. The mission was simple enough; exterminate a minor pest problem on a winter island.
"Ne? Marco." Ace called as he was scarfing down his eighth plate of food.
"Yes." Marco answered eating his food long accustom to the way his young lover ate.
" Can we go explore the island?" Ace asked looking hopeful
"No" Marco calmly stated internally proud of himself for not giving in to Ace's request until...
"Pretty Pleaseeeeee." Ace asked summoning his best puppy dog eyes, that rivaled Luffy's
'Don't give in. Don't give in." Marco's personal mantra failed in helping him when Ace began to pout.
"Fine." Marco sighed out pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Where do you want to go first, yoi?" Marco asked as he paid for the meal, grabbing Ace by his waist heading for the treeline. Causing the younger to giggle.
"I thought I saw a cave on the way over here. Lets go check that out could have treasure in it." Was the reply Marco got with the happy childish smile he loved so much. As they made their way in that direction, nothing really interesting happened so Ace and he chatted the entire way. Well mainly Ace talked and Marco gave his input or laughed when he said something funny. Ace loved to see Marco laugh. They were few and far in between.

"What the. Damn I hate rain!"
Drip
"Ace its just a little rain." Marco no sooner got the words out of his mouth it began to pour.
"Marco I think I see the cave up ahead!" Ace shouted over the roaring of the wind and rain. They got into the shelter only to be disappointed -Ace more so than Marco- that the cave wasn't very big without treasure or adventure.
"Damn its cold i-in here." Marco said taking his jacket off to wring the water out mentally cursing the gods for not letting their be any wood in the cave.
"What?! No its not." Ace said from his spot on the cave floor where he was doodling in the sand with his finger.
'Oh yeah..That idiot is always warm. Maybe I could use him as a heater.' Marco thought to himself as he made his way over to his freckled companion. Ace suddenly felt two arms circle around his waist and pull him into a lap. He didn't fight them; he knew who they belonged to.
"You will be my personal heater. Yoi." Marco whispered in Ace's ear. Ace said nothing as he turned around in Marco's lap so he was facing the blonde ,and gave him a quick peck on the lips; before resting his head on the older males shoulder.
"you know something Marco?" Ace's question was muffled by Marco's shoulder. He was fighting off sleep ,god was he tired, and it did not help that a gentle hand was running though his hair all the while.
"What is it?" Marco questioned wrapping his arms around Ace's back gently swaying from side to side resting his head in raven locks.
"Sometimes it is nice to cuddle like this." The teen replied finally giving in and falling asleep before Marco could reply. Hearing shallow even breaths Marco thought to himself 'It is nice to cuddle.' before letting sleep overcome him
