Haha, back again :D

I was surprised how many like this pairing, and the whole favs, follows and comment thing made me hyper to write again soon :)

I mean, the scrips are made in school when I don't have lessons... so it's really quite spontaneous :)

So anyway, thanks for support, chapter as thanks for you :)

enjoy!

Disclaimer: still don't own One Piece.

Smoker growled at the young man... demon, who appeared before us. Did I think he looked dangerous? Well, let me take that back.

We watched in silence as within seconds, his horns withdrew and his wings became smaller. His red eyes didn't seem so red anymore. Were they brown? He had black hair, a bit longer than the Luffy boy, and countless freckles... And he was grinning like an idiot!

"Smokey! It's rare for you to summon me," he chuckles, but the silver haired detective just reached out for him and grabbed the hair on Aces neck and pulled him closer, rough, painfully. Then he bent down and kissed the guy, equally harsh, wild and demanding, until Ace groaned.

Probably in pleasure... and I could understand well, the rest of us had started to clearly blush.

Kidd coughed to take back the attention and finally Smoker let go of Ace, who was panting by now, the same blush on his cheeks as we had.

Smoker grinned a bit, before turning Ace around, and pointing to the teen on my bed.

"I found your brother, Ace." I heard Smoker mutter something else, but it was a language I didn't understand. I watched Ace paling up, but he was soon back to being serious, nodded and climbed onto the bed, kneeling next to Luffy and observed him in Full.

Smoker and Ace talked about something, but none of us understood. Maybe demonic language? But I still refused to believe in demons. There had to be a logical conclusion.

There just had to be one!

Suddenly Ace hissed at Smoker who just shrugged his shoulders in innocence. Ace huffed, but turned back to the teen lying there unconscious, looking somewhere in between worried, amused and angry at the same time. He leaned down and... sniffed? He sniffed his brother, flinching back and snapping his head back to us. He growled something and Smoker started laughing.

"What did he say?" Kidd asked and Smoker turned to look at us.

"He asked who dared to touch Luffy's tail without his consent," he translated to us, and Bonney and me immediately pointed at each other. Ace hissed something to us, then looked at Luffy again and took the teens shoulders to shift him into a half sitting position.

"Hey! What are you doing!? He's hurt terribly, if you move him like that-"

"It's ok. Let it be, Trafalgar. He knows what he's doing," Smoker interrupted me and I clenched my teeth, but shut up.

I mean, little did I know about demons... more like, nothing.

Kidd started to laugh, probably noticed my behaviour towards the teen. It was hard not to notice. I wanted to... protect him. And that's why I started to stare at Ace in anger, who glared back in equal fury. For a few moments, we stayed like this, until Ace turned his attention back to Luffy.

"Stop it and watch." Smoker said amused at me.

"Watch what's going to happen, because it's rather rare to get to see this," he stared at the two on the bed.

"Since they're demons, normal medicine or treatment won't work on them. They need energy, and they get this through two different means. The first is for unbound demons (those without a mate). They are fed blood by demons stronger than themselves. The second measure is for those with a mate; it's affection. Demons take energy out of affectionate actions towards them like kissing, licking or sex. The more the merrier. By the way, Ace is my mate, so stop staring girly," he said.

Bonney blushed heavily, but turned her gaze away from Ace's ass.

"Luffy hasn't found his mate yet, so he needs blood to recover. If we leave him like this, without energy… he'll die." he explained the situation to us.

I nodded, not content in general, but at least the teen could be saved like this.

I watched as Ace shifted Luffy into an embrace-like position, holding the younger one up. Then he lifted his arm and scratched his neck open until we saw blood flow. Then he led Luffy's face towards the dripping wound.

Luffy sniffed and reacted almost immediately by biting down hard into Ace's skin. His older brother groaned in pain and clenched his eyes shut as Luffy quickly took some big sips.

Kidd and I both shivered at the sight before us, and Ace seemed to have noticed, because he laughed out loud.

"You like pain?" he asked us.

Kidd nodded. Of course... He liked pain quite a bit. But me?

I gulped, then smirked evilly. "More like I enjoy inflicting the pain... on others" I answered honestly. Smoker nodded in agreement; the first time we agreed on something.

Still while speaking I noticed Luffy shiver. Why? Because of my voice?

I watched breathlessly as the younger demon opened his blood red eyes without ending his drinking from the other. Some of his raven-colored bangs fell into his face and let him look more than... seductive.

And he stared right into my eyes. But damn, this gaze! Fuck the world if this isn't arousing. It was hard not to smirk wide and evil, or to refrain myself from going over there and kissing him forcefully.

But I stayed here and just gulped, without breaking the eye-contact.

Everyone around me noticed Luffy's gaze was on me and they all stared at me as well. Hawkins, who was still pale as chalk, Bonney, still bright red, Kidd with a mischievous grin and Smoker with a look like 'now-I-see', before grinning evilly… Really evil, before he turned his head back to Ace.

"Hey, Ace," he started, but then changed to the language that we didn't understand, but he was clearly amused by something.

Ace flinched a bit as Luffy bit down harder, still don't breaking the gaze towards me, but Ace started to pant a bit.

"C'mon Luffy, stop it! It's already hurting enough! It's really painful," he whined, and pushed Luffy away. The teen looked discontent, but listened to the older demon, pulling out his teeth and leaning against his saviour, obviously trying to come back to senses and therefore breaking our eye-contact.

Luffy's eyes slowly changed from red to a dark brown, and he finally looked up again. He was now kneeling on the bed, still supported by Ace, his tail swinging swiftly behind him, sliding through the air in a fascinating manner. He looked at me and started to grin brightly and… fuck… my heart just skipped a bit there.

But I refused to blush.

Trust me… it was really hard, since his grin was just... great. Bright, full of happiness and content.

I just stared at him, totally overwhelmed, and his grin widened. Now the others started to blush.

Stop that, idiots!

Luffy shouted something, really happy, but no clue what. He didn't speak English. Ace coughed hard and Smoker broke out in heavy laughter, tears in his eyes after a few minutes.

Luffy turned his head to me again and started to move, but immediately staggered and I rushed over without noticing my own movement, kneeling on the bed next to him and supporting him.

Luffy laughed heart-warmingly and beamed at me. Then he started the talk, really fast, and after that, shouting out to me again.

Smoker hadn't stopped laughing yet, so I looked at Ace, hoping for a translation. I noticed he was dark red and seemed strongly embarrassed, but also somewhere in between amusement and anger. But mainly embarrassed.

Bonney and the rest just stared, until I finally dared to ask.

"What did he say?"

Ace blush darkened and he hid his face in his hands.

"He... asked you to become his... mate. And... yeah. The rest I rather not say out loud. God, Luffy, you are SO embarrassing!" Ace whined.
