Nami managed to drag Luffy all the way to the library, where Robin already was waiting for them. She was reading ancient-looking book about hieroglyphs and that kind of stuff, but she shut the book when the two came in. She laughed slightly to situation - frustrated Nami dragging whining and limp Luffy while cursing very heavily.
Luffy sat down to chair next to Robin and smiled happily to her before turning in his pout-face again.
"Why did you drag me away from Ace? You know that I hadn't spent time with him because of that stupid concert", Luffy growled, crossing his arms. Nami sighed but at the same time, very tired smile occupied her face.
"That's why we're here. We have few questions and suggestions to do, isn't that right, Robin?" Nami asked, turning to little bit darker girl.
"Yeah, that's exactly why we're here. We have some questions about guitarist of Crossed Bones, Portgas D. Ace, your older brother", Robin said. These words earned frowning from Luffy.
"You guys gotta be kidding me... I'm sick of fangirls asking about Ace and you know that well!" younger one of D. brothers murmured. Fangirls of Ace usually haunted him more than their actual idol, asking about pictures of Ace or his phone number.
Robin and Nami laughed.
"You got us wrong! We're not after your brother, it's kind of opposite. We're actually going to help you", Nami giggled, nudging Luffy a little. Luffy's frown deepened.
"I don't know what you're talking about...", he mumbled, slight blush appearing on his cheeks.
"Yes you do. I think you have crush on your brother", Robin declared quietly. These words caused Luffy's heart jump slightly.
"And because your older brother is blind douchebag, we figured that you need to take the charge and confess your feelings to him", Nami added, "so here's the plan; fuck him."
Luffy bursted to laugh. "You guys are really something..."

Ace had escaped from his fangirls outside the school. He was leaning to rail and trying to ease his mind. It was his last year in this high school and girls had grew quite wild about it. Over ten girls had asked him for a coffee or movie theatre, just to be refused by him. He had told them that he had a date already, which wasn't actually a lie...
He was so focused on his thoughts that he didn't even notice Marco and Usopp, who sneaked behind him and glomped him harshly, causing all three of them to fall from the balcony.
"What the fuck was that for, you asses? Weren't you with Sanji, Franky and Zoro a while ago?" Ace coughed, spitting some grass out of his mouth. Marco laughed, holding his sides which were sore from the impact with ground.
"It was over than half an hour ago, idiot! Franky needed to deliver our record to Brook, Sanji had to leave early because of his cookings and you know Zoro - always training. So we're here to save you from those evil creatures called fangirls! We'll escort you to your home", Marco said, still grinning like a madman.
"Yeah, you can call us your knights in shining armor", Usopp added.
Ace let out frustrated laugh and he rubbed the sides of his head to ease his headache when his phone vibrated, telling him that he got a new text message. Two other guys we're teasing him about it immediately.
"One of the girls you danced with?"
"One of your one night stands?"
"Shut up! It's from Luffy. He told me to come to the school's gates so we can walk home together."
"So it IS one of your dates!"
"Marco, Usopp... prepare to die."
And so all three of them ran towards school's gates, Marco and Usopp chased by very irritated Ace.

Luffy's head was full of Robin's and Nami's suggestions how he could get Ace. The fact that two girls knew about his feelings towards his brother gave him uneasy feeling. Was he really that easy to read?
Soon he heard someone shouting his name and he turned to voice's direction. As soon as he realised what was going on, his usual large grin claimed his face. Marco and Usopp were probably teasing Ace again, causing Fire Fist to chase them like mad bull.
When Ace noticed Luffy, his annoyed face soon brightened up and he spurted to his little brother, glomping him.
"Hiyaaa, Luffyy!" Ace greeted his brother with high-pitched voice, earning chuckles from younger D as well as from Marco too.
"Where's that grumpy Ace who just chased us for good twenty minutes?" Phoenix teased. Ace just smiled sweetly to his friend before lifting his leg and kicking Marco's weak areas. Marco stood there for a while, teasing smile still clinning on his face, before he collapsed to ground.
"These two douchebags want to escort us to home", Ace mumbled and pointed to lolling Usopp and whining Marco.
Luffy laughed to his friends and uneasy thoughts soon drifted from his mind because of the good company and Ace.

Franky quitely opened the door to art class.
"Brook? Brook, ya here?" he whispered. Loud BANG and annoyed growl greeted him.
"Franky? Is that you? Thank goodness! Some students thought that it would be funny if my foot would be in a bucket... I've tried to take it off for some time now, but every time someone came in and I had to be still", afro-headed skeleton cried. Franky turned on the lights and snorted to the sight. Brook was standing in hilarious pose and his right foot was stuck in a bucket.
Brook was a living skeleton and part of their friend group. School's art teacher was old witch who had casted a spell to Brook. He wasn't allowed to show himself alive, but in their friendgroup's situation it was accident. Franky had tripped over Brook and the rest is history.
Cyborg guy gave small recorder to his skeleton friend, who placed it near his... err, "ear" and pushed the play-button. Poor Brook's skull almost cracked from the loud sound of Ace's guitar.
"Well, at least they think their half-deaf fans...", Brook stated calmly, earning a big sweatdrop from Franky.

Ace, Marco and Usopp were standing in the front of Luffy's and Ace's apartment. Ace was smoking cigarette and planning the next concert already with two other members.
"It can't be too long, because Christmas holidays are pretty nearby and thei last at least three weeks. How about three weeks from now? On that friday when holidays start?" Ace suggested, sucking his wrapped cancer.
"I'm in. Though we don't have a DJ then, Enel said that he'd be off to visit his parents", Marco agreed.
"Yeah but we could make acoustic show then. It would be relaxing for everybody."
"Do you mean that I need to sing for acoustic songs?"
"Yes, Usopp."
Two of three members laughed heartly as Usopp growled in frustration. Ace dropped his cigarette and stamped it. Marco gave him a wink. Ace frowned.
"Again that suggesting wink. Tell me already what are you hinting at, douche."
"We're hinting that maybe you should open your damn eyes! Someone close to you has a crush on you, and you've still failed to notice it", Usopp growled, facepalming.
"Yes, Fire Fist should definetly open his eyes and see how much I crave for him...", said dark voice behind Marco and Usopp. Usopp almost jumped to Marco's arms when he realised who's voice it was.
One of school's infamous bullies, Rob Lucci, was standing few meters away from them, grinning ominously.
Ace stepped forward and stared the goatee'd guy. "What are you doing here, Lucci? I told you that I accepted your date invitation and we promised to see each other tomorrow, after the school."
Ace's words caused two of his friends jump slighlty. Ace had what-?
Lucci chuckled as he stepped closer to Ace, leaning on his muscular chest. "I know, but I just wanted to tell you that your concert was amazing, as always. I just couldn't get to you because of all the fangirls", he purred softly. Marco snorted.
"Sometimes fangirls can save you from deeper trouble..."
"Come again, Phoenix?"
"GUYS! Stop it!" Ace ordered, "I know you can't link up with each other, but you don't even TRY to behave! Lucci, thank you for your nice words, but can you please go now? Let's see tomorrow after school, ey?"
"Yes, let's see tomorrow. Good night and so on, Fire Fist."
"Same to you. Guys, I'm going upstairs. I'm hungry and tired. See you."
When Ace disappeared, Usopp and Marco started gossiping immediately, thinking how this date with Lucci was going to affect Luffy's and Ace's starting relationship.

"Luffy! I'm home! Sorry that it took too long!" Ace shouted when he entered his and Luffy's apartment. Faint smell of chicken lingered in the air, making Fire Fist's stomach growl. He had slept over week now in their training apartment with Usopp and Marco, so getting food from store was Luffy's job. And of course that little idiot didn't prepare food for him.
Ace sneaked to bedroom, where Luffy was playing Spyro with their Playstation. Older D noticed half-eaten chicken sandwich and he didn't waste any time to hog it all.
"Fhank you fhor fhood", he mumbled, mouth filled with food. Luffy looked his now empty plate in shock, before turning to his older brother and attacking him.
"YOU IDIOT! That was mine!"
"YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT THAT YOU DIDN'T PREPARE FOOD FOR ME!"
Two brother's wrestled for a moment. It turned to be draw, because both of them were exhausted.
Luffy was laying on top of Ace, panting heavily and staring into his brother's eyes.
"Shi shi shi! I won!" Luffy laughed and rolled to bed. Ace just hummed and stood up, stripping out all of his clothes and closing the Playstation.
Luffy felt little bit nervous when he saw Ace to sleep naked. From all nights, why this? Luffy was already pretty hard from all the perverted thoughts that had passed his mind during the evening.
Ace snuggled himself closer to his brother, wrapping his arms around him and pressing his face to crook of Luffy's neck, planting a soft kiss to younger's neck.
Luffy stiffened up a little when he felt his brother's warm lips at his neck. Damn, why Ace had to be so close?
Younger D's hand wandered down to his boxers, squeezing gently the hardened flesh of his cock. If he could manage to be quiet, maybe Ace wouldn't notice the fact that he was fapping.
