Do you know how much fun I had trolling you in the previous chapter? Ahaha. ;D

So here's chapter 3, I believe it's a whole lot shorter than both chapters before, but I thought it would be nice to end it this way. Also... I cheated, and I admit it... I made Neena do the fighting parts because I just can't write them. ;u; that and the tiny little part with treating a wound, because I'm nothing like a doctor. |: especially in English since it's not my mother tongue! Asdklsfs.


Kid smirked as he came closer, trying to make him feel more intimated than he already was. "What's a little girl like you doing out here, huh?"

Luffy took a step back, glaring, knowing exactly where this was going. He knew him, and had been in a similar situation with him before, this was not going to happen again! ''Ugh I'm no girl!... Get lost! I don't want to see your ugly face!" He spat.

Kid's smirk grew wider as he grabbed Luffy's wrist and pulled him closer ''Is that a way to talk to your new owner?'' Luffy eyes grew wide in shock as he tried to get away from Kid's tight grip and just get the hell away from there.

"New what?! ... h-hey what do you mean!? Let me go!'' He stuttered in return. What was this psycho talking about? He tried to kick Kid in the stomach but to no avail, and earned himself a rather harsh push into the wall behind him.

He hissed in pain, as Kid moved to whisper in Luffy's ear. "I'll make you my new sex toy, be proud your life's going to finally be useful for something. Hehe." he snickered proudly.

"I don't want to be your stupid sex toy!" He tried desperately to get away from Kid's strong hold, but unfortunately Luffy was nowhere as strong as Kid was.

"N'aw, playing hard to get, eh?" Kid said teasingly, turning to lick Luffy's cheek as if to claim him. Luffy groaned in disgust. He managed to squirm away from Kid's grip as he had lowered his guard slightly, he succeeded, however the taller just pulled him back by his wrist and threw the poor boy to the ground, growling in irritation.

Deciding it was enough of the supposedly 'nice' act of his, he kicked the smaller's body with a sadistic smirk plastered onto his face. "Trying to run away are we?"

"That was the idea." Luffy mumbled weakly, reaching to grab Kid's leg which threw him off balance, making him fall down.

"Stay away from me!" he continued and tried his best to get up but failed yet again as Kid pulled him back onto the ground, hands pinned above his head. "Don't worry, I won't be too rough," he came closer to Luffy's ear and whispered with a dark chuckle. "at first."

Luffy was rendered speechless at this remark, he forced himself to glare at Kid in anger, trying to hide the anxiety he was left with from those words. His adrenalin kicked in, managing to get himself free and kick the asshole above him right in the stomach, making Kid fall flat to the ground in pain and allowing Luffy to finally get back up on his feet. "Now you better get the hell out of here before I-" his sudden burst of self esteem was interrupted by a sudden pain in his side.

When he turned to see what had caused the sudden pain, he noticed blood running down his hand and side. He heared Kid laugh behind him. "You're weak, Luffy." he stood up, waving around a pocket knife covered in crimson blood, which could be none other than Luffy's own.

Luffy coughed, the taste of blood forming in his mouth as he fell to his knees. Shit, he thought. Coughing more blood up as he felt like fainting.

He managed to snap out of it in the last second by an all too familiar voice. No way...!

"What the hell is going on here?!" Ace yelled angrily.

Kid raised an eyebrow. "And who the fuck may you be?" he growled, walking towards Ace as if that would scare him off. There was no way he was going to be interrupted by some kid! Ironically.

Ace glared back at him. "Exactly what were you doing to Lu?"

Kid couldn't help but burst out in laughter. "L-Lu? Ahaha! The fuck is that?!" he looked to the smallest of the three, noticing how Luffy was glaring daggers at him, which made him feel even more better about laughing. "A 'cute' nickname? From the famous Portgas D. Ace! Interesting." he finished, now remembering who the person standing before him was.

Famous? This made Luffy wonder. How could he know who Ace was? And why was he famous?

Well this sucked! He never wanted someone to see him this weak! Especially not Ace...

Luffy held onto his side in an attempt to prevent it from bleeding any further, or stop the pain if that was even a possibility. Ace, noticing this, ran over to Luffy to help him, not bothering with Kid's insults in the least. "Hey, you alright, Luffy?" he said in concern, getting down on his knees and looking him in the eyes.

He truly hoped the cut wasn't as bad as it looked.

"Y-yeah, thanks..." Luffy managed to mumble, noticing how Kid suddenly approached the two. But before he could have a chance to warn Ace, he was sent flying into the wall beside them.

"Get out of here, bastard! This is my prey!" he yelled, panting harshly as the kick must've taken him a lot of strength to cause so much damage as it did.

Trying to regain his composure as blood ran down his forehead, Ace clenched his fists in anger, feeling more pissed than he already was before. He got up easily and ran over to Kid, grabbing the collar of his shirt and punching him in the face. Ace threw him to the ground as he moaned in pain.

Ace turned to Luffy, thinking things were settled, but Kid got up on his feet again, kicking Ace in the stomach, followed by a punch. "Who do you think you are touching my Luffy?!" Kid empathized the my as if it was clear that Luffy was his. Ace stumbled back, coughing droplets of blood onto his hand.

Luffy was in shock, this shouldn't be happening! He never wanted someone to get involved with him and Kid. And out of all people, certainly not Ace!

"Ace!" he screamed, managing to pick himself up and ignoring his bleeding side. He ran over to Ace to help him up, but the older got up like the previous hits was nothing to him. He stomped over to Kid with a deadly glare in his eyes, as he punched Kid hard enough to make him drop to the ground once again, this time rendered unable to move properly. "The last thing Luffy will be is yours!"

"W-what... is Luffy to you?!" Kid coughed, hardly unable to form a coherent sentence. Ace sat down beside Kid, grabbing his collar, forcing the latter to look at him. "Don't ever lay a finger on Lu again! Got that?!" you could almost taste the venom from Ace's words as he spoke. He let go of Kid, dropping his head to the cold hard pavement.

"Ace, are you okay?" Luffy asked with great concern in his words, but was interrupted by said person.

"He didn't hurt you, did he?" Ace turned to him, his previous emotionless expression when facing Kid turned to a worried look. Before Luffy was able to answer to Ace's question, they heard Kid shouting.

"Next time, you're dead, Ace! And Luffy will be mine!" he picked himself up and walked off weakly.

Ace pulled the smaller closer in an tight embrace to catch him from falling, petting his head gently. "Sorry for being late." He apologized.

Luffy burst out in tears from the terrible pain in his side but also from sudden relief. Holding onto Ace's shirt tightly as he proceeded to pick Luffy's phone from his pocket. "Not the hospital." he managed to mumble, just loud enough for Ace to hear him. The latter searched through the contacts quickly, wondering who he should be calling.

His parents perhaps? "Who do you live with?"

Luffy didn't answer, he was too caught up in the massive pain forming in his side to do so. Clenching his teeth from the horrible ache.

Ace tried to look through all of Luffy's contacts, noticing how there were hardly any on the list except from what appeared to be friends. No mum or dad added, except for "grandpa". That should work right? He hit the call button on the touch screen, bringing it to his ear and waited for him to pick up.

It took several moments for him to answer, and Ace nearly gave up before he heard a voice coming through the speakers. "What do you want, brat?"

Not sure where to start with such an explanation for the horrible event, he started with an hey, not paying attention to Luffy's grandfather's rude 'greeting' (if that was to be even called a greeting). He was broken off before he could as much as start the subject at hand. "Finally deciding to stay with someone else and not bug the crap outta me?!" he yelled.

Despite the very disrespectful quote, Ace continued. "This is Ace, one of Luffy's classmates... He's injured, do you mind telling me your address?" he said politely.

"Haha! Injuries are good for the kid! He'll survive!"

The man hang up leaving Ace blinking in confusion. "What the heck...?"

Luffy squirmed slightly, catching Ace's attention. The smaller had already fainted from exhaustion, which was better in this case anyway so he wouldn't have to deal with the hurt from his injury.

He appeared to have no choice then; picking him up carefully, as to not hurt the younger, one arm underneath his legs and the other behind his back for support. Also known as bridal style.

"A-Ace..." Luffy mumbled.

"You'll be okay." he guaranteed, heading back home.

He placed Luffy on his bed, once home, still appearing unconscious and knocked out from Kid's stupid acts.

He started to take Luffy's shirt off but stopped once he witnessed the bloody cut. He got both a dry and a wet cloth to clean the blood and a disinfectant to make sure the wound didn't get infected. Unfortunately Ace wasn't very good at treating wounds and had no knowledge about it whatsoever, so he was forced to call up his mum.

"Ace? I heard you come in-" Ace's mum walked in to the room, stopping when she noticed the unconscious body on her son's bed. "Is that Luffy?! What happened to him?" she shrieked.

"Kid." was his simple reply.

She sighed, wandering over to Luffy to sit beside him and reaching up to pet his head. She took a good look at the cut and gasped in horror ''Oh god, I hope it's not as deep as it looks'' she helped Ace cleaning it from any blood left and put a bandage on the wound to finish it. '

"Done." Ace said, a little shakily.

His mum put her hand on Ace's shoulder, in an attempt to calm him down, if only just by a little. "He will be okay, Ace." she said and got up, looking for painkillers for the boy.

"Mm... A-Ace..." Luffy stuttered, opening his eyes as he slowly woke up.

"Luffy!" Ace's widened in surprise, not expecting the younger to wake up this soon.

Luffy looked at him with half lidded eyes, trying to make out his surroundings as he sat up. "Ace?" what happened?! Ouch..." he rubbed his side, not amused by the new pain finding itself there.

"You're okay now." Ace smiled slightly.

"Where am I? What happened to Kid?" Luffy asked, in return, looking around curiously at the bedroom he was in.

"At my place... and Kid got his ass kicked." Ace grinned, seemingly proud of what he had done.

"Wow really?" so this was Ace's place … well, his room at that, the living room he had already witnessed. "Thanks Ace..." he mumbled, but was too captivated by the room of his crush to care much about what he was uttering.

It was easy to know where to start describing the place, it had art supplies everywhere. A huge empty canvas found itself in the corner of the room, closely located to Luffy's side of the bed. Below it, was a box that seemed to contain paint, and brushes, and other artistic things like this. There was also some finished paintings but they seemed hidden in another corner of the room located with the closet, closely to the windows. The windows were currently hidden behind curtains though. There was a board on the wall, and it had a lot of drawings laying on top of each other in a total mess, yet still enough to see what it was he had drawn. Some were drawn of what appeared to be perhaps his friends? Some also looked depressing, but he couldn't make out what it was from his spot on the bed. He also drew animals it seemed, or creatures, like a blue phoenix.

So Ace was an artist? That was really not what he had expected, but interesting none the less.

There was also simple furniture such as a desk, which held both a computer and a laptop. Was the laptop for school perhaps? There was a tablet too, he knew because he had seen someone use it before to draw on their computer at school. It seemed cool. There was also a bedside table next to him, which held a few art books stacked upon each other, But also bandages and the disinfectant at this time, but they came and left with Luffy and weren't much a part of his room.

"Yeah, you're welcome." Ace interrupted him out of his thoughts, ruffling his hair and smiling slightly at him.

Luffy frowned, remembering faintly how Ace had tried to call anyone from his family to come and help. "You called Grandpa didn't you?" he said, looking down.

Ace nodded. "Nice old man you have..."

"Tch, you don't have to lie.." Luffy's eyes started to water with tears at the thought of his not-so-caring grandfather.

"Don't you have anyone else?"

Luffy shook his head. "My mum d-died when I was a baby … and m-my dad left me with ...grandpa." he stuttered, trying to keep the tears from falling.

Ace's eyes widened slightly, not having expected that from the carefree looking boy. "Oh..." was all he could manage. "that must be tough."

"That's life I guess."

Ace turned his head away from the smaller. "My dad is seriously mental." he started. Luffy looking up, not having expected him to start talking about himself. "He thinks he's amazing, which made him end up doing some pretty damn stupid things. And since I was his kid, people started hating on me, as if throwing their complains on him wasn't enough... Because of him the police has even tried to capture and kill my mum!" He nearly yelled at the last part, seeming to be a very deep touchy subject to him.

Luffy was grateful he opened up to him though, if only by just a little. He was very glad.

"I changed my last name in hope that nobody would recognize me as his son... and yet he still has the nerve to come home every day from work thinking he still lives here! and worst is that mum can't see how much of an asshole he is!"

"That doesn't seem fun..." Luffy wasn't sure what to reply to this new information.

"They used to want to kill me too, but nobody knows I'm his son. As long as it stays with that, it should be alright." Why was he trusting Luffy so much of all people? He never told even Marco this! He thought.

"but your mum seems like a really nice person, why would the police try to arrest her?"

Ace didn't answer at first, frowning at the question. Maybe he shouldn't have asked that?

"...for giving birth to me." he finally answered.

"Huh? What? What do you mean giving birth to you?" Luffy's question became endless at this point. What was so wrong with that?!

"I'll tell you later. Go to sleep, Luffy. I'll take the couch, hope you don't mind sleeping here. I don't think your grandpa will care either way." he said and hurried downstairs after turning off the light and leaving the door half shut just in case Luffy would need something, leaving Luffy to the dark but strangely welcoming room.

"Okay. Thanks!" he said gratefully. Sighing once he had left, content with how things turned out in the end. He had met Ace, he had saved him! And even brought him home! And now he was sleeping in his bed! All in one day!

He smiled as he buried his head in Ace's pillow. Surely laying in the exact same spot Ace did everyday. It smelled like fresh spring mixed with Ace's own scent, it felt really nice. He could get used to this.

He mumbled Ace's name as he fell asleep.


Uhm, so yeah. I do like Kid, but he seemed like the only one fitting. ;o;

I'll hopefully be updating faster next time. review and it'll be up sooner~ *flees*
