Again, thank you so much for the reviews. I had a great time writing this one and I know I'm not done, I'll be cooking up another one in no time flat. I'm actually thinking of a back story for Zoro and Sanji. I'd like to know what you all think before I get started on it.
Oh by the way there is a little LuffyxAce lemon in the begining of this chapter. Nothing to bad but its a warning.
Ten years had passed since the day Garp had let Luffy go, Frankie and Robin had moved to Sky Town, Ussop and Kaya had moved to Water 7, Snaji ad Zoro own a villa on the edge of town and seemed to still doing well, Brooke worked at Sanji's resteraunt playing on weekends, Nami and Paulie had finally sealed the deal and gotten married, Chopper had gone off to college and gotten his medical degree and was now working in a major hospital somewhere in town. As for Ace and Luffy, they still lived in the same small house, still together and happier than ever.
Ace groaned as the alarm went off on the nightstand next to the bed and slammed his fist down on it making it squeal in protest before fadeing into silence, she smiled as a thin arm wrapped around him waist and made little circles on his ab muscles.
"Ace, if you keep hitting it like that we'll have to get another one, that'll be five this month."
"Well if you got clocks that weren't so loud, I wouldn't have to hit it so hard would I?"
"But if they were quieter, we wouldn't get up and than it would serve no point."
Ace sighed knowing the younger man behind him was right and instead opted for rolling over and silenceing Luffy with his own lips, rewarded with a soft moan Ace ran his tounge along Luffy's bottom lip and gave a small moan of his own when he opened his mouth for him instantly. Wrapping his arms behind Luffy he brought the thin body closer to his and ground his pelvis into Luffy's both gasping as their already erect members greeted one another. Luffy broke the kiss breathing heavily.
"Good morning Ace."
"Good morning Lu. Up for some sheet wrestleing before we get a move on?"
Luffy rolled his eyes at the nick name Ace had given their morning sex sessions but said nothing about it. Instead he reached down and lightly rubbed Ace's own erection causeing the older man to close his eyes and let out a quiet moan. Luffy smiled and covered Ace's mouth his his taking control of the situation knowing it wasn't going to last long before Ace took over and he didn't mind really. Never taking his hand away from Ace's member he kissed a firey trail down Ace's chest and across the tight stomach muscles til he met the line of dark curls and looked up at his lover seeing the needy look in Ace's eyes he didn't tease the older D brother and covered Ace's arousal with his mouth. Ace let out a surprised grunt followed but a low growl mixed with a moan as he ran his hand through Luffy's hair. After a few minutes Ace pulled Luffy up and kissed him passionately. Rolling over he seated himself between Luffy's theighs and slowly entered the slighter man beneath him. Luffy had thrown him for a loop the first time they had done this, he didn't like to wait. Ace found a rythm he liked and stuck to it, slow and steady. Moans rose from between them as they both soared higher and higher. Luffy started to push down with Ace's thrusts asking without words for Ace to move faster. Shaking his head he leaned down and kissed Luffy and rested his forehead against the other D.
"Not this time Lu, I want to enjoy this."
Luffy moaned and arched against his brother.
"And you don't any other time?"
"Oh...you know I do...but today is speacial..."
Luffy gasped and let out a high pitched moan as Ace hit the one spot he knew drove Luffy wild.
"And...w-what is...t-that?"
"Your anniversary of coming home."
Luffy nodded and covered his mouth clamping his eyes shut trying to to be to loud, Ace growled and shifted finding another angle and hitting that spot within Luffy with every thrust. Luffy's eyes shot open and he began to scream each time their bodies met, than when Ace reached down and began to pump Luffy's neglected member in time with his thrusts Luffy lost it and saw white as he came, Ace's name falling from his lips. Ace followed close behind and fell onto Luffy with a quiet 'oof'. He raised up on his elbow and looked down at Luffy a soft smile on his face same as Luffy. The younger D leaned up and kissed Ace before rolling away and off the bed, planting his feet he streched and than headed for the bathroom with a mantra of 'shower' spewing forth like a religious chant. Ace shook his head and followed. Once both boys were clean and dressed they headed out the front door and towards the park. It was bright and sunny out, no clouds and just enough wind so it wasn't so hot.
"Bike or Lancer?"
Luffy tapped his chin and smiled.
"Bike."
Ace nodded and walked into the garage rolling out a Black and Red Kawasaki Ninja, handing Luffy a helmet he slipped his own and kicked the engine to life before speeding down the streets towards Water 7 Family Park. It was a reunion of sorts, everyone was coming back to say hello and catch up on old and new developments in each other's lives. It didn't feel like a very long trip before they pulled off the main road and parked the bike next to a familar looking Mustand GT. Luffy smiled as Ace shook his head.
"Guess Sanji really couldn't bear to part with that old thing."
Luffy nodded and walked around the bike taking Ace's hand they began to walk through the park, their fingers linked.
"Ne, Ace?"
"Hm?"
"You think everyone will make it?"
"We'll see Lu, but I think it's a good possibility."
Luffy gave him a bright smile and Ace certainly hopped he was right. After a few minutes of walking they saw the smoke from a grill riseing up over one of the hills and the unmistakable smell of the one and only Sanji Blackleg's cooking. As they came over the crest of the hill Ace had to blink a few times, Sanji stood by the grill cleaning it off from previous park use as Zoro ran around one of the park tables, two small children chasing him. A young boy with Green hair and blue eyes and a young girl with long blond hair and the dark eyes of Zoro. Ace shook his head and approached with Luffy as Zoro laughed.
"Aw, C'mon Kuina, you can do better than that right?"
The little girl in question frowned and crossed her arms.
"Your not playing fair Daddy."
Zoro swooped down and scooped up the girl earning a delighted squeal of laughter from her and kissed her forehead while the young boy watched Sanji work with big over bright eyes.
"Hey Dad, whatcha doing?"
"I'm cleaning the grill so the next batch of food won't get the food dirty."
"Oh, why would the food be dirty?"
Sanji resigned himself to twenty questions when he was saved by his life partner.
"Zeff, get over here and help your dear old Daddy with blowing up these balloons would you?"
Zeff's eyes shone with excitment as he raced over to Zoro and began to try his hardest to blow up said balloons as Ace cleared his throat. Zoro looked up and beamed as Sanji walked over and embraced them both in a thight hug.
"How long have you guys been standing there?"
Ace looked over at Zoro as Luffy went to help Zeff with the balloons.
"Long enough to be confused, you guys have kids?"
"Yeah, Chopper kind of helped us, he told us about a program they have where they take genes from both parents and put them together in an egg or something like that and than they implant it into a surroget mother and nine months later you get a child that has genes from both parties. If there are two like Zeff and Kuina they come out as twins, which is what we got blessed with."
Ace nodded understanding somewhat.
"They're beautiful."
Sanji smiled.
"Thanks."
Ace nodded as Zoro walked over to help his son and daughter, and Luffy blow up the balloons, Sanji chuckled as he heard Zoro scold Luffy for chewing on one of the rubbery devices and giving their kids bad ideas.
"Same old Luffy huh?"
Ace nodded and took an offered cigerette from Sanji.
"Always."
The four men and two 5 year olds looked up as the unmistakeable laugh came over the grass.
"Yohohohohoho! How wounderful to see you all! Sanji I have the sheets made and in my car if you would like to look them over before we all leave."
Sanji gave Brooke a smile and nodded. They all fell into easy conversation as they waited for the others to show. The next one's were Ussop and Kaya, a little girl followed close behind them, dark curls covered her head like Ussop and her nose stuck out just more than normal but she had Kaya's beautiful eyes.
"Hey everyone!"
Luffy ran over and bear hugged Ussop while Kaya said her hellos to the others with a smile and gentle hugs. The girl tugged on Ussop's sleeve.
"Daddy, can I go play with the other kids?"
Ussop smiled and ruffled her already messy hair.
"Sure, go have fun Melody."
She gave him a huge smile and ran towards the swings where Zeff and Kuina already were. Ussop looked up and looked over who all was already there. Frowning he tilted his head towards the three kids and quesioned.
"Okay, I know Brooke would never have kids so whose?"
Zoro put his arm around Ussop's shoulders.
"Mine and Sanji's I'll explain later, to hard to explain right now."
Ussop nodded and looked towards the hill as Nami's voice drifted on the wind.
"Slow down Paulie, he's gonna drag me through the dirt trying to keep up with you."
A large Golden Retriever bounded down the hill after the blonde, Nami jogging to keep up with them.
"Hey everyone!"
They all waved and watched with mild amusement as Nami tried to wrestle the dog back in control and gave up just taking him off the leash and letting him chase the kids.
"Chopper pulled in right behind us he should be here shortly, said he had some loose ends to tie up really fast."
Not four seconds after Nami finished her sentece did the little doctor make his way over and down the hill getting tackled by Luffy and laughing as they rolled down stopping infront of everyone's feet.
"Hey guys! How is everyone?"
He recieved a few 'Good's, one or two 'Great's and a Hmph from Zoro. Giggleing he looked up at Ace and hugged him fircely around the waist.
"I've missed everyone so much!"
Everyone gave him bright smiles as the last of the group came over the hill at once; Lucci had his arm around Kaku, Kalifa walking behind them pushing her glasses up higher on her nose, Robin on the other side of Lucci, a gentle smile graceing her lips as Frankie chased two small children down the hill trying to make sure they didn't fall.
"Yo, Tom, Olvia, slowdown your gonna get hurt!"
"Aw Dad, chill out, we're fine see?"
"The blue haird boy spread his arms wide and spun around showing his father the trust behind his claim that he was infact fine, his little sister mimicking him and causing her self to become dizzy she fell to her buttocks laughing. Frankie sighed as he watched his eight year old run towards the playground, his two year old no far behind him trying her best to keep up on her shorter legs. The rest of the walked up and settled in around the picnic table and Ace watched as it began to feel like old times when a loud smack was heard amongst them and Zoro blinked water from his face. All heads turned towards the kids as they ducked behind the sand fort they had made. Zoro smiled as Sanji, Frankie, and Ussop stood up and began to sneak around behind them. Zoro, Luffy and Ace began to fill their own balloons. As the kids peeked up for another attack and yelped as the three fathers pounced on them from behind and the other three men began to pelt them all with water balloons. Sanji yelled over the fort.
"Hey, numbskulls, we're over here too ya know?!"
Zoro laughed as Ace connected one with Sanji's face.
"Yeah, we know."
It didn't take long for the rest of the family that had gathered to get drug into it and seemed like mere moments laters Sanji was pileing the picnic table with food as they all dug in Ace looked up and looked around at all his friends and from under the table he took Luffy's hand. Giving it a squeeze he stood and cleared his throat, all attention, save for that of the kids, turned to him.
"Guys, this has been a great day, and I can't think of any better way than to spead it with the people I love the most. So here's to us. A family beyond that of anything regaurded as normal."
They all chuckled and commented on that statement as they returned to talking and catching up with one another. It didn't seem like long before the sun began to set and they all began to file one after another out of the park. Sanji smiled as Zoro buckled the two kids into the back of the car and closed the door softly so as not to wake them up, Ussop and Kaya were doing simalar as well as Frankie and Robin. After everyone had their kids buckled in and ready to go they gathered around Ace and Luffy giving them hugs and kisses, wishing them well.
"We'll have to do this again next year, its been to long since we've all seen each other, can't believe most of us have kids."
They all smiled and agreed that they would begin to make it a tradition to get together each year on this given date. As the years passed and the originators of the tradition began to age and pass away their kids soon took it over, and than their kids after them and so on and so forth, for gerneration after generation the family met and for generation after generation the love between friends and loved ones stayed alive.
