;_; I can't express how much I love my teacher. Most in my class were doing a dance project, and then there was me... Instead of telling me to do studies for some lame ass crap I already know, she told me to go downstairs to the basement (own room for students to hang out) to eat and do whatever I feel like! and so this was born! *_*

BUT I'M STILL HUNGRY AFTER THIS RANDOM BASTARD TOOK THE REST OF THE MEAT.

...

Well, anyway. I think I can safely say I will do a weekly update on this ff, if not every 2nd day. As it is now I'm publishing a new chapter around 2-3 times a week, hopefully I can stick with this and not get side tracked as I really want to see this finished and I'm not even half through the story ;3

And also I keep forgetting, but thank you for your lovely reviews *o* I love reading all of them, especially the long ones! :'D It motivates me to write more.

"Isn't your mum home?" Luffy wondered as they got home to Ace, looking around and scanning the place of any sign of Ace's crazy mother. It was dark in the house as they got there, Ace going around the house to turn the small lights and lamps on, making, to Luffy's opinion, the house to look even more cosy than it did earlier. Ace's house was just so overall nice in everything! Especially the smell the house emitted ...Ace's scent was the best of all!

"She left for work." Ace responded, heading straight to get bandages as Luffy had been complaining about getting his injury treated as fast as possible the whole trip back. "She should be home by now though." He said as he got out of the bathroom, bandages in hand.

"Let me help." Luffy offered, motioning for the older to sit down beside him on the couch.

Ace complied with amusement. "You sure you can manage that?" he teased.

"Of course I can! Ace..." he whined once Ace took the bandages. Luffy stole his arm from him along with the bandage, and started wrapping it around it, which only resulted in a tangled mess of bandages sprawled out on the floor and certainly not where it was supposed to be. "Whoops." he said simply.

"Thought so." Ace chuckled, picking it up again to put it on the table, to Luffy's confusion. Wasn't he going to–?

His confusion was answered as Ace began with cleaning it, then proceeding to wrap it up.

"Oh." Luffy snickered, realizing they had forgot that. Well, it wasn't his fault Chopper never taught him anything! Or maybe he did but he just didn't pay attention...

Though the contact made the open wound bleed again, Ace heading to the bathroom to get better tools for treating it, Luffy following suit to perhaps help (and fail) him. At least the cut wasn't deep! He thought positively, looking up to Ace who seemed set on concentrating about stopping it from bleeding any further.

He didn't notice he was staring until Ace suddenly turned his head to look at him, which caused him to panic and look away, not usually shy with such things but he felt easily awkward around Ace, not a bad kind of awkward, but more of the 'he's staring at me!' kind of feeling.

"Lu, look at me."

He bit his lip, going back to looking Ace in the eyes slowly and hesitantly. He tilted his head slightly to show his current confusion but something interrupted him just like around an hour earlier.

Ace lips was once again pressed onto his, but unlike the earlier kiss, Ace pulled away as quickly as he had done it, beginning to laugh at Luffy's cute and confused expression as things had happened to fast for him to register. Ace smiled, upon now knowing Luffy was his and same goes for the latter.

"What?" Luffy blinked in obvious surprise as his face flushed, realizing what had happened.

He still couldn't believe Ace liked him.

Ace covered his mouth, trying to hold back the laughter that was threatening to escape. He turned his attention back to his slowly healing wound, not aware Luffy's sudden evil plan, jumping onto Ace's back to cling to his neck and wrap his legs around his chest, catching Ace off guard entirely.

"Hey!"

"Woah! It's so high up here! I think I see a building down there!" Luffy exclaimed, his hand on his forehead as he was looking over a great scenery, over dramatizing Ace's height just for the tease of it.

"That's the toothpaste, idiot!"

Their small quarrelling was interrupted as Luffy's stomach inconveniently growled, making Ace look over his shoulder to the lump stuck on his back. "Hungry?"

Luffy nodded in return.

"I'll make you some, if –"

"If?" Luffy wondered. There was an if?! Hopefully it was nothing too hard to do... he was starving here!

"You take a bath. Kid put his dirty hands on you." he said with a tone hinted with jealousy or rather just protectiveness.

Okay, didn't seem all too bad. He really did want to clean himself from the stench of Kid, he also got some of Ace's blood on him too from hugging him... he didn't think of that one back then, not that he would care if it did cross his mind.

He let go of Ace's neck, sliding down onto the floor, as Ace turned on the bathtub water. "Here." he said, offering the smaller a large towel that could practically cover Luffy's body like a dress if he tried.

"Wash up quickly and I'll get you food." He said, walking out of the bathroom to cook the younger something to eat.

Well, he wasn't wearing much so there wasn't much to take off... Which got him to remember Ace had seen him naked, and he even climbed onto Ace's back wearing hardly anything! What the hell was he thinking?! And why didn't Ace say anything?! He pushed the door close as the other walked out, taking off the only article of clothing he had on: Ace's jacket. He looked at the scar in his side, it had reopened despite his useless (and rather non-existent) attempts at letting it stay closed. The hit from fleeing from his grandfather along with Kid's harsh ways of keeping him still, it all added up to more pain in his pitiful looking side. The blood had already dried, so all he had to do was wash it... though it would most likely start bleeding again. Whatever. It's not like he couldn't take the sight of some more of that red liquid, he had seen plenty the last few weeks anyway.

He stuck his left leg into the warm bathwater, feeling the heat of the high temperature touching his toes, gradually moving deeper into the water as his body got used to the warmth. "Ahh, this is great~" he sang to himself. The only thing that could make it even better was if his lame side wasn't stinging like fuck at the same time. Go away wound, you're not needed!

Taking some time to relax, Luffy's thoughts drifted back to those of Ace. Who was like … his lover now? He wasn't sure, but kissing meant that didn't it? No...they just kissed, it wasn't like they had a relationship yet. But he liked him back it seemed (unless he was just trying to cheer him up, which was definitely not the case. That he refused to accept) so it wasn't far off now was it? And here comes the thinking part again... The one where he had to wonder how to ask Ace this odd question. It was fairly simple! But this love thing just made it so much more difficult for some reason! He usually didn't give a flying fuck about others' opinions, but with Ace it seemed as though everything mattered!

All this thinking was either giving him a fever … or it was just the heat of the water creeping up to his brain.

He swore he could smell smoke coming from the kitchen. Ace? What was he doing?

Did something happen to his food?!

He quickly wrapped the towel around him, hurrying downstairs to witness what in the world Ace was doing to his food. He blinked upon the sight, staring at the kitchen in shock. The kitchen counter was on fire, Ace staring at it hastily burning down to the ground with boredom as if this was a usual occurrence.

"Ace, what happened to the bench?"

"...We never had a bench." Ace responded, casually going back to cooking.

Luffy sweatdropped at Ace's silliness. "You should at least extinguish the fire." he couldn't help but giggle. Since when did he become smarter ...well than anyone?

"Nah, it'll disappear soon." He informed him, finding something else for Luffy to eat, but accidentally in some messed up way manage to set fire to that too. "The house is fireproof." He said as he threw the burning food into the trash, eventually setting that on fire as well, quite the opposite of what he was stating.

It appeared to be whatever Ace cooked, well that burned to crisp in the matter of minutes after. How come? Well, for Luffy that was hard to tell. All he could see was Ace taking a hold of it and in the next moment it was dead coal, and Ace didn't seem shocked in the least. Did he do this often? Whatever it was he really did suck at cooking! "S-should I help?" he offered, despite being probably a worse cook than him (except he didn't burn it, he just put whatever sounded good and mixed it together like for example ketchup and ice cream didn't fit well together... he learned that the hard way.)

"Let's just order a pizza. I don't want to kill you." Ace laughed.

"Pizza sounds good." Luffy smiled as Ace found the phone to call for one.

He was still curled up in only a towel, dripping wet as he didn't really give himself much time to dry. The water was running down his hair, dripping onto the carpet, and he was shivering from the cold despite not acknowledging it, which caused Ace to pull him along back to where he came from to dry him with another towel, causing the hair strands to stick out in every direction, his hair a mess.

"Ace?"

Said person looked at him with curiosity. "Huh?"

"What will I do after the weekend? With Hammock expecting Lucy to be there." He said out of the blue, yet still a matter worthy of discussing.

"You never thought about that before you dressed up as a girl, did you?"

Luffy shook his head. "Thinking gives me fevers." Thinking was horrible! It took brains... Which he didn't have!

"Then you'll just have to dress as a girl at school." Ace spoke, having difficulties not smiling in amusement.

"No way! I don't understand how girls can wear skirts! It keeps blowing up! And the guys always stare." He pouted.

"It's your own fault." Ace said a matter of factly, still a little annoyed at being tricked like that from earlier, it wasn't funny in the least! ... Except the fact that Luffy DID look good as a girl, though he wished he would cut the pillows at his chest, it looked incredibly unrealistic to him with such large breasts. It didn't fit Luffy even if he were a girl. "I'm sure they'll find out that it was you on Monday if you don't show up.

"Good point. I'll be Lucy till the play is over and— shit! Gramps..." He suddenly remembered the way he had departed from his grandfather. He really didn't want to face him, he was surely angry beyond belief now, besides he did tell him to never come back to his house, but where else was he supposed to go? He couldn't stay at Ace's place forever... Or rather he wasn't sure his brain and heart could possibly put up with that. It wasn't that he didn't like being around Ace, and he would love to stay with him forever, but being around meant thinking too much to avoid misunderstandings and fights (which seemed to be their whole relationship so far) and his heart beat kept racing whenever Ace either got too close or just stared at him for longer than normal. And he would probably be pretty crept out knowing his new boyfriend wanted to move in with him the first day. Obsessive boyfriend, how attractive...

"Did he do something?" Ace asked, snapping him out of his train of thoughts.

"He wants me to join ... the army. I don't want to..." Luffy frowned looking down, feeling depressed by the mere thought.

"Shouldn't you be able to choose that yourself?"

"That's what I try to tell him, but he never listens and now... he..." Luffy's voice became less audible by each word he spoke. He took a deep breath, as so not cry yet again (he appeared to be enough of a crybaby already).

Ace didn't waste time asking about what he did to Luffy, worry evident in his face.

"He kicked me out... And told me to never come back." He gave Ace no time to reply, continuing as if to not appear as sad and depressed with everything as he acted out to be to him. "He will get over it and let me in someday!" He laughed.

Ace stared in confusion. "He probably will. He can't be that bad can he?"

Just then the doorbell rang, interrupting their conversation. Ace left to get the door, paying for the pizza and closing the entry once obtained. He looked to Luffy who seemed to find himself in a new problem judging by the uneasy look and act. Ace raised an eyebrow at this. Wrong pizza or something?

He went to the kitchen, dropping it on the table (as they never had a kitchen bench anymore.) and waiting for the little one to advance to the kitchen as well.

"Ace... I'm still in just a towel." He hinted, the towel still wrapped around him, nakedness finding itself underneath.

"I'm not sure if I have anything in your size." He was far from Luffy's height and size, so what could he possibly lend him to wear?

"Can I borrow a shirt?" Luffy tilted his head to the side rather cutely, not being able to think of anything else he could possibly wear. Wearing Ace's jacket was just a proof of how different their sizes were.

... His shirt huh? Wouldn't that be... Extremely large on him? He nodded, almost close to blushing had he not gotten his mind on other thoughts. He had seen him naked in only his jacket earlier so what could possibly be the difference.

But it was dark outside, and he hadn't been thinking much because of the rage of wanting to beat the crap out of Kid.

"I'll ask mum to get you something to wear on the way home, seeing as she's still not home yet..."

"Thanks!"

Ace got up, hurrying upstairs to his room to get out something from the younger, just as quickly coming back with a black t-shirt in his hands.

"I'm not tiny." Luffy pouted, trying to desperately prove his point, more to himself than Ace.

"Okay, you're not tiny. Happy?"Ace responded, throwing the shirt at Luffy's face causing Luffy to let out a small squeak in surprise.

He turned around to put it on as swiftly as possible, Ace's eyes finding itself elsewhere as he sat back down by the table. "Well, you're just huge." that sounded wrong... even in his head. He prayed that Ace didn't think the same thing.

And ugh, it really looked like a dress on him! Crap! All since he met Ace he had just become more girlish by the second.

The older looked over to him, his eyes widening slightly at the sight, blushing slightly. That's kinda cute... "You do realize it's not covering your...?" he found himself too embarrassed to say the last word.

Huh? He looked down, only to realize his crotch wasn't covered at all. How awkward could things really get? He pulled the shirt down to cover it. Shit! He ran back upstairs, yelling to Ace. "I'm stealing your boxers!"

"What?! Get back here!"

After awhile Luffy was back downstairs, wearing nothing but clothing far too big for his size, making him look rather funny, but also, in Ace's opinion, fucking adorable. "Done!" he smiled, Ace nodding in return.

Before Ace knew it, Luffy was already hogging all the pizzas he could hold at once, one and then two going down his throat in seconds, briefly making Ace wonder if he ever even chewed. "Mmm! Pizza!" he said happily.

"Maybe I should order another one..." he thought, judging by Luffy's major appetite.

"I love food!" was all he got in reply.

"I see ...that." Ace begun to laugh, grabbing a piece himself and taking a bite of it as he started talking again. "But at least leave a piece for m–!"

Luffy blinked. Ace? He stared at him, blinking with his owlish eyes, as he neared him. Wondering what in the world just happened. He fell asleep in his food... in the middle of a sentence...? He knew Ace fell asleep at the strangest of situations, but this would top it any day.

"Wake up, Aceeee!" It appeared to be of no use as he wasn't stirring in the slightest. He pouted again, suddenly getting a better idea to make out of the situation. Ace's pizza! He poked him to see if he was alive, but to no use.

Alright! Perfect! He reached for Ace's piece of pizza, gobbling it down quickly.

He giggled. Ace was cute when he was sleeping! Especially in his food! How funny!

Just then, Ace awoke from his random trip to the dream world. He glanced at his plate, noticing something was slightly off with this picture from before. "Luuuu..." He said suspiciously, knowing full well what Luffy had done.

"Oh, Hey Ace." Luffy continued to giggle, tilting his head innocently. "Anything up?"

The older reached over to knock his head angrily. "You ate it, didn't you?!"

"Ow!"

"I paid for that!"

Luffy rubbed his head where a bump was starting to grow, fake tears in his eyes as if hoping Ace would feel bad. He hits really damn hard...! "You're a meanie."

Ace sighed and sat back down.

"I'm full. Ace, I'm tired!" Luffy quickly changed the mood and subject.

What did his house look like? A five star hotel?

"But why did you suddenly fall asleep?!" Luffy wondered, he had seen him fall asleep often, but he wasn't sure why it occured at all. Did he have something like... narro- marco- narcolepl...narco something!

"Huh oh... It happens." Ace replied simply, staring into his emptied plate, which was no other than Luffy's fault.

"You're weird, hahah." Luffy laughed in return, pushing the plate further onto the table to prove he didn't want anymore. "But I'm tired."

Ace smiled slightly, despite his annoyance at the cruel disappearance of his food. "Let's go to sleep then."

Luffy yawned, nodding slightly as he rubbed his eyes from tears that threatened to spill. "Yeah..." He mumbled tiredly, proving his point. He got up from the chair and proceeded to advance upstairs. Where was he even going to sleep?

Ace followed him up the stairs soon after throwing the dirty dishes into the sink. "There's a guest room to the left."

Luffy went as told, and turned to face his new boyfriend before he left to sleep. "Goodnight Ace!"

Ace nodded and smiled im return. "Night, Lu."

He awoke feeling something hitting his private spot. He sat up quickly in shock, the pain developing swiftly in his crotch. "WHAT THE?!"

What the fuck was that?! Who the hell wakes up a person like this?! He looked down to see what had kicked him, noticing Luffy snoring softly into one of his pillows, hugging it tightly as his legs was spread out, one sticking almost out of the bed, and the other invading the spot between Ace's legs.

Just what the—?!

He pushed the knee away angrily. god, it hurt! Does he realize what he's doing?!

Ace glared at the smaller before him, not amused in the slightest.

"What was that for? idiot!"

Wait, why was Luffy in his bed in the first place? He had recalled going to bed without him, each having separate rooms, so what was he doing here... i-in his bed...?

No, he did not just fucking stutter.

"Lu..." He called in an annoyed tone, shaking him gently to see if that would wake him up. His attempt failed however as Luffy turned on his side, facing him and gave a particular loud snore as if mocking him yet asleep.

Ugh...

Annoyed with the invader in his bed that was Luffy, he crawled out and got up, heading to the bathroom silently.

"Sanji...meat..."

Two could play that game. Tsk.

He came back with a bucket of cold water, pouring it over the poor boy's head, startling and forcing Luffy awake.

"Ah! Cold!"

"Morning, Lady Lucy." He greeted in an irritated voice.

Luffy sat up and blinked in confusion. What was going on? That was really cold! Was someone trying to drown him?! He had remembered being faced with a nightmare and sneak into Ace's bed at night, so how come he suddenly found himself in an ocean?

He looked up to notice Ace's very pissed off look sent in his direction, sending a shiver down his spine.

Drowning? Nope. This was scarier.

"A-Ace..." Morning, oh uhh...

"What are you doing in my bed?" Ace asked in a strict tone.

"Oh Ace! You've got funny and cute bed hair! It's everywhere, ahaha!" He laughed upon the discovery, ignoring Ace's question entirely, which obviously only made things worse.

"I do, huh?" Says him, Luffy's morning hair was a legendary in itself, he looked like some hedgehog. Ace reached over to his head and ruffled his hair, so it became a total mess. "Now we're even." He said and lied back down, trying, if possible, to catch a little bit more sleep, though with Luffy here, he doubt he was going to manage that.

"You're lazy! Wake up!" Luffy whined, climbing onto Ace's chest and settling there, his fingers going all up in Ace's face, which was most likely to piss him off even more with some annoying hands waving into his face.

Again, look who's talking.

Ace only yawned, as a sign he wasn't going to move anywhere any time soon, and Luffy's struggles being more than useless.

"Eh? Ace, you have freckles?!" Luffy noticed of all of a sudden, pulling at Ace's cheeks in amazement. He never noticed that! All these dots on Ace's cheeks were so... childish! Haha!

Now he was just surprised the dork knew what freckles was.

"What?" Ace sat up in shock. Freckles you say? He touched his cheek in surprise, like he could feel them if he did. "I guess I must have gotten them over night." He supposed, shock evident in his voice. "And what exactly have you been looking at the entire time?!" He hit the smaller's head, annoyed with the fact his boyfriend was too clueless and dumb to notice he even had freckles, and in that case, where did the idiot look?!

"Can you really d— ouch!" Luffy exclaimed, pouting at the hit that was delivered to his forehead. Ow... He was just kidding... Of course he knew Ace had freckles, it was one of the things he liked the most about his looks after all.

Ace turned his head away, feeling insulted knowing Luffy never even looked at his face!

"Baka Ace... I knew you had freckles. I just wanted to see your reaction." Luffy stuck his tongue at him childishly. "Bleeh."

Ace mumbled something in return, turning to stick his tongue back.

"Oh my god! Ace!" He shouted in panic, forcing Ace to look back in shock, wondering what was up with him, worry showing in his face. What was wrong all of a sudden? Did his injury start to hurt again?!

In reply, Luffy closed the distance between them and put his lips on his. Much to Ace's surprise.

"Lu—"

"Mm... Ace..." He muttered, as Ace returned the kiss, Luffy slowly moving his weight on him causing the older to fall on his back.

"Let's go, Lu. We'll be late for school." Ace whispered, pulling back rather shyly from Luffy's kiss. He sat up, causing the younger to slip down in his lap, Luffy making a small whining noise as Ace got up and retreated downstairs.

Walking to school with Ace was awesome! He could hold his hand and everyone would give him jealous stares! Take that, losers! They were obviously whispering to each other what in the world someone like him did with Ace of all people.

Since when did he even get to know him? They wondered, surely wanting to know his secret to get close to Ace.

"Shi shi shi." He giggled, holding Ace's hand tighter, causing the older to look down to him in confusion to why he was so amused. It seemed to Luffy Ace wasn't even aware of all the girls in the corridor that was looking his way and whispering, some even blushing. Was he that dense? And that came from him... Maybe he was just used to it and had given up on caring. Or he wasn't interested right now in anyone else but him!

As they got to the lockers, Ace going to his with Luffy following after, Luffy felt a little uneasy all of sudden. The rumours were most likely going to spread fast about them, and so he was left with a new problem... What would his friends say? So Nami had accepted it, after a little complaining,

A few hits to his head and a little bit of unwanted matchmaking, though it probably wasn't going to be taken lightly by the rest. He could already predict their reactions in his head: Sanji would freak, because hey, he wasn't gay and would probably never approve of such, Robin would be surprised, Franky would scream or cry, Zoro would snore, Usopp would faint and Chopper... He would probably have felt lied to as Luffy never told him his real feelings. And Brook would sing about it just to rub it all in their faces.

Maybe he was just screwed in this situation... he had no choice but to explain himself and hope for the best really. If he was lucky then maybe they would accept Ace. After all he had saved him countless of times now, and he was relatively kind, if you scratched his whole tsundere "It's not like I care" act, along with his huge temper and the way he kept hitting his poor head. So cruel...! but he liked him nonetheless. Ace was really nice, and his personality was nothing like he had expected, much better in fact. He was expecting him to be likeable yes, but not to the same degree, and more of a jerk than anything else.

"Holy shit!" Ace cried as he opened his locker, snapping Luffy out of his daze. Huh?

He turned his head upwards to check on what was happening that made Ace so shocked all of a sudden. He noticed a pile of letters laying on the ground in between the locker and where Ace stood, some was even finding a lovely nest at Ace's head. Ace seemed rather shocked, but he easily got over it and sighed, picking them up and opening another locker to push them into instead.

Huh? Was that... love letters? It was written in girly handwriting with those typical hearts on the front, so supposedly it was. Umm... So Ace really had a lot of girls that had a crush on him, huh? just wow. That wasn't just a small amount of letters!

Ace sighed again, mumbling something around the lines of "annoying" and "fangirls".

He wanted to laugh, but he found himself not able to even let out the slightest bit of amused noise. Neither did he feel like smiling, for some reason it saddened him to see this. He was suddenly reminded of how Ace is known to be a player and changes girlfriends every other week or sometimes even day. But Luffy was a guy right? so it was different? ...or was it now? He couldn't see reasons to why. He probably was just another victim of Ace's. But would he really have gone out of his way to do all that to save him? and even open up to him like he did? He wasn't sure, but it was getting him nervous, a bad kind of anxiety, a feeling he didn't want.

Ace could leave him any second of the day for someone else without the slightest of warnings... not very reassuring was it? And when he had just gotten so happy...

Well, now he was just making himself sad, there was no proof, but Ace had never really told him he loved him, he just kissed him. Which he probably could do with any girl easily, he knew he liked him so it might have been a way to try and cheer him up really. It was logical, why hadn't he seen that? but he had no evidence yet, so he wasn't sure what to do... maybe he should ask Nami? but she would definitely try to chase down Ace and capture him for him or something, and that wouldn't exactly make Ace like him. Not at all. It would just make it worse, that much he knew.

"That's my fucking locker!" He heard a voice yell from down the hall. Oh, Ace's "friend"... He didn't pay much attention as he approached them, he was rather annoyed that much was clear to Luffy, but more he didn't really have the concentration to think about...

"But yours is close to mine." Ace responded, like it was the best of excuses, still pushing those godforsaken pink letters in to his friend's locker.

"You can't do that everyday! They're not for me, they're for you, Ace. Go ahead and read them and if anything, send them a letter back that you don't want them writing you anymore, it's really that simple." Marco said a matter of factly, trying to reason with Ace was near damn impossible, yet he still tried, hoping Ace would one day listen and do as he told him.

So they were Ace's ex girlfriends maybe? Luffy thought. Along with his fangirls... then again he probably had slept with all of them too.

He felt really negative now, he should probably just go to class. He hung his head, feeling really disappointed which didn't go unnoticed by Ace.

What was wrong with him all of a sudden?

"Your new ...boyfriend?" Marco wondered, raising an eyebrow. He had seen them holding hands when they entered. Luffy began to leave, Ace nodding slightly in return to Marco, too caught up in the younger one's sudden change of mood.

New? ...see? he was just being used. Here he should be happy Ace was actually giving him a chance, but it just felt ... he didn't like this. He wanted Ace to love him or nothing at all! He didn't want a fake one sided relationship with him. "See ya, Lu." Ace said after him, Luffy raised his hand to wave back.

"So that's why you ran off like that yesterday? You could have at least told me before storming out the doors." Marco continued, now standing with Ace alone.

Ace laughed nervously. Had he really panicked that much when trying to ensure Luffy's safety?

"You're really in love, yoi?"

Ace only nodded. "Got to go!" He ran off to his class before Marco could ask another word, or rather... not see his blushing face. Yeah, so he really liked Luffy, but that didn't mean he would just go admitting it to everyone!
