Hi, I don't know if I should say sorry or not. As I don't know if it is good or not. I have mixed feeling about this chapter...
This is going to be one of the longest (the whole story contains now over 100 word-pages) and the one I struggled the most with... because some of you really seemed hyped for the flashback to Fishman Island. I even want to rip out my baselines at one point, because it changed in my head before I even started to type the chapter. I didn't use my usual form of a baseline for this chapter.
To explain, the normal form of what I call baseline is basically a chapter which I could probably just public without changing anything.
But for this chapter, I got fed up with my ideas changing so much. That I just wrote down headwords which needed to be in there. I just hoped it turned out well... it also got longer than expected. I wasn't even to a certain point and had nearly 3k words x.x
So yeah, I hope you enjoy it and it lives up to your expectation or not? I'm open to critic what could have been better ^^'
Also, question. Since I already hinted that I have another One Piece-story planned, which will be my next big project after this one. You get the choice to decide if I should publish the prologue at the same time as the epilogue of 'Until they notice'. It won't be updated then until I have all bonus chapter for this story done and uploaded. Or I update the prologue for the new one with the last bonus chapter. Your choice. Let me know in a comment, private message or via the poll on my ff-user-side.
When I mention the bonus chapter, this chapter will be the last one for you to give me prompts about what you would like to see in this timeline. Fights are not included. At the moment I have ideas for around five bonus chapters (possible that I split them a bit if they got too long). Prompts can be written in a comment or if you don't want it to be public a private message is also fine ;)
CelineB: Thank you for your support^^
~Chapter 20 – Just between you and me~
Luffy snuggled sleepy but happy more into Marco's arms. His boyfriend was right. It was a nice way to wake up like that. Just to listen to his boyfriend's steady heartbeat. He could go back to sleep just by listening to it.
Especially if he was comfy and treasured like now. Luffy turned his face a bit to hide it in his Marco's chest.
His mind wandered to last night and a smile ghosted across his lips. It was intense and had nearly made him black out after the first round from … well, he didn't have an explanation for that… but it felt too good to be connected to Marco in a deeper physical way. Too good to let it be over quick.
So he had whined and pouted as Marco just hold him and left soft kisses on his face. Just to get a taste of the feeling again. Luffy didn't know exactly how he was able to rile up Marco for another round, but he got his wish after he had to grind his own body against the blonde's one.
He let a sigh escape his lips as he felt a hand caressing his spine. „Morning Luffy, yoi", Marco whispered in his ear and kissed his cheek. „Sleep a few minutes longer. It is comfy", Luffy mumbled. He could feel the blonde chuckling. „Last night you didn't want to sleep and now you want to, yoi?"
Luffy grumbled. Marco sounded to amused at this early hour. He lifted his head to look at his boyfriend with a pout. „You didn't say anything against staying up longer", the black-haired boy stated. „I seriously went wrong at one point and started to spoil you, yoi."
Luffy pouted. „Not spoiled. I had to dress up to poke at that side of you …", the boy mumbled but was interrupted by a short kiss. „I know and still haven't decided, yet, if I should kill Izo or thank him for dressing up this way, yoi", Marco said and went with a hand through his blonde locks. Luffy tilted his head.
„Didn't it look good? I like how the heels make me closer to your height", the boy grinned and he felt how Marco tousled his hair. „It wasn't how you looked. It was the thing that you were that in public especially after the stunt with the kimono. I seriously hate how they look at you when you are dressed up so much that I must have left a hickey on you sometime during last night, yoi", the blonde said and caressed a spot on his neck. Luffy's eyes widened. He turned his head and used rubber abilities to look at his neck.
There on the left side of his neck was a dark spot. Luffy looked at Marco and pouted. The blonde only grinned innocently. „Your fault for alluring my possessive side for you the third time, yoi." „I only did it oneth and that was yesterday", Luffy blushed.
Yeah, it happened three times. One was the planned dress up which lead to them making love for the first time. Then there were two incidents which happened accidentally.
One was the kiss that happened in Vista's room. Fine, he admitted he teased Marco in the kiss, but he knew that the blonde would have kissed him like that also if he didn't tease him.
Afterall, there was the second accidentally incident which happened earlier. The one, which happened when they last saw each other before his meeting. The one, that happened on Fishman Island.
~Flashback~
Luffy pouted. He should be content with himself.
Afterall, he had won against Hody Jones, who hurt his friends and wanted to kill them.
He had told off this stupid old lady who wanted to take candy and Fishman Island from Ossan's protection. Something that made Nami hit him. But he couldn't let the woman talk on like that. Ossan was cool and the people were happy to have his protection.
He could eat as much as he wanted to his heart content.
So why did he pout?
Ah yes, his crew was getting ready to set sail for the New World. Jinbe hadn't given him an answer, yet, and the ship which carried Marco and Ace around the Grand Line wasn't near. Ace and Marco had promised him to meet on Fishman Island, well the promise of Marco was a secret, but Ace's promise was heard and even supported by Ace's captain. They didn't seem to be persons who break their promises.
„Luffy? Are you coming?", Nami asked and looked at him. The others were already on the ship. Their next destination was already decided. The funny needle on their new Loge Pose would lead them.
But he couldn't just leave.
„Luffy-sama?" That sounded like Weakhoshi. The big mermaid princess was there to say goodbye to them. Like the rest of the inhabitants of Fishman Island.
Luffy shook his head and went onboard the Sunny as he heard someone of the palace personals said: „King Neptune, the Moby Dick was sighted. Whitebeard seems to be up for a visit."
A bright grin broke out of his face. He rockted himself at the highest point of the Sunny to look for the ship which carried many people he wanted to see again and thank them. The ship on which his big brother and … what was the word again what Marco was to him?
There he saw it.
„Luffy don't do anything…"
Luffy didn't hear what Nami said as he used Gear 2 and rocketed himself towards the big ship with a scream for his big brother.
He hit said brother death-on and rolled with him over the deck of the Moby Dick. When they stopped he was on top of Ace and grinned brightly. „You're finally here. I thought you had forgotten it…" Luffy said and pouted slightly.
Ace looked angry at first before his expression changed when he started to pout.
„We had some trouble with idiots of Big Mom while coming here. So we got a bit delayed", his older brother explained and studied him.
A laughter made him turn his head. There was a red-haired guy, he knew he hadn't met during the war. He wore an outfit which reminded him of a cook and had his hair in a funny hairstyle.
„Didn't you say, your brother won't be able to win against you, Ace? Because this looks like a win to me", the cook guy said with a grin. „Shut it, Thatch", Ace snorted.
But Luffy's eyes were fixed on the guy next to the redhaired man. He remembered that one.
„You are the pretty lady-guy who shoot the marine guy after the announced my father's name and helped when the laser guy tried to attack Jinbe and me", Luffy said and jumped to stand in front of the cross-dresser. „Thank you for that." He hugged the man.
„You didn't practise names with him Ace when you called him?", the cross-dresser sounded amused and patted his head.
„It wouldn't matter. I haven't figured how Luffy's brain work with names. Expect that it does somehow help him a bit if he met the person face-to-face but even then it is possible he just forget about you", Ace said grumbling while standing up. „Hey, if I forget about them, they weren't important", Luffy protested and picked his nose.
The cross-dresser frowned but sighed. „Well, then. I guess, we need a formal introduction. I'm Izo, the commander of the 16th division. Nice to meet you, Luffy. I hope you get my name right at the next meeting. For today I am fine with pretty lady-guy."
„That's not fair, Izo. You would use as aim if one of us called you like that", the cook guy protest and pouted. Luffy tilted his head. „Ne, you are a cook, right? Do you have any meat?", the boy asked.
„You are definitely Ace's little brother", the cook guy laughed. „Hey, I didn't think about meat as much as Luffy does", Ace protested and studied his little brother and only now noticed some bandages around the chest as Luffy jumped to thank Flower Moustache for rescuing him from Hawkeye.
„Luffy? Why are you wearing bandages again?", his big brother asked. He turned his head and looked at his brother. „Because Chopper said, they should stay on. Even if I am fine after the blood transfusion", Luffy said. Ace paled. „LUFFY! DON'T JUST TALK ABOUT IT LIKE IT WAS NOTHING?! WHAT DID YOU DO TO BE IN NEED OF A BLOOD TRANSFUSION?!", his brother shouted.
The crew members around them flinched and the commanders shook their head. He heard the female commander mumble something about brother-complex.
Luffy blinked and tilted his head. „There was this stupid Fishman who thought he was superior and hurt the others because they didn't share his opinion and Jinbe also said he was bad", he started telling. „You fought him?! Luffy, would you stop picking fights?" „Why? He would have destroyed and killed everyone. I haven't trained to let my friends get hurt", Luffy pouted.
Ace put his head on his shoulders and shook him. „Then stop being reckless and stop attracting so much trouble. If it goes on like that you will have some big trouble before your journey in the New World already began."
„Ace, you should let go of your brother. There are already flames around you. You will burn your little brother if you aren't careful", Izo warned.
„Ace-san, calm down. Hody Jones is taking care of and your brother is alright. The rest of Luffy's crew is fine as well", Jinbe said as he came on board. He nodded to the Ossan who Luffy hadn't greeted, yet. But would do when Ace let him go.
„Luffy-kun, your crew is planning to pick you up and then leave." „But I don't want to leave, yet. Ace said, a welcome at Fishman Island to the New World. That means another party and more meat. We can't just miss that. Also, you didn't say yes or no, yet", Luffy pouted.
Jinbe sighed and turned to Whitebeard. „Sorry, to come on board without asking for permission. And sorry to ask this relative spontaneously. But would you allow me to join Luffy-kun's crew?"
Luffy looked at Ossan. He could feel everyone looking at either him, Jinbe or Whitebeard. „So you asked him to join?" „Yes, Jinbe is cool. He fought with me in Impel Down and the following. Also, he offered his blood for the blood fusion. Why shouldn't I ask him?"
Mumble broke out on the crew. Did he say something wrong?
„Gurararara, still the cheeky brat from the war", Whitebeard laughed, before he looked at Jinbe. „Well, then we probably threw a party to welcome the brat to the New World and also to thank you for your help and wish you luck."
Luffy cheered. That meant Jinbe could join his crew. „Thank you, Whitebeard. So I guess that means, if you still want me on your crew, Luffy-kun, I will join you", the Fishman said and bowed slightly. „Yes! I want you to join. Now just tell my crew and the others that there will be another party", Luffy said cheerfully.
Ace pulled his brother into a hug to stop him from moving. It seemed like his big brother wasn't going to let him out of his sight for some time. Not that he had anything against it. But there was still something he wanted what is big brother was not allowed to know at the moment.
„I'll swim back and tell them. Also, I know it may be a bit much to ask. But if the party is thrown, could we please do it close to your ships? The city took some damage during the terror Hody put us all through. There is the chance of some people getting hurt or more destruction", Jinbe said. „Don't worry. The party won't start until the evening. I think my sons will be quite happy to help out with repairing. Afterall, you belong to the extended family", Whitebeard said with a grin.
Jinbe nodded and jumped into the water to get back to the others.
Luffy tilted his head. He knew there was something he wanted to tell the Ossan. Ah, he remembered„Oi, Ossan, before I forget. There were this lion guy and this egg guy. They work for a strange old lady that wanted sweets and said something about putting Fishman Island under her flag. I told her off and said I would kick her ass all over the New World if she tried it again", Luffy said with a grin.
Everyone on deck seemed to go stiff. He saw how Ace's eyes widened in shock and then he hissed as he felt his brother's flames a bit.
„LUFFY, YOU IDIOT!"
„Ace, let go of your brother and calm down. You are going to hurt him and damage our ship, yoi."
Luffy turned his head to see the speaker and get away from his brother. But the grip was tight and the flames did start to hurt a bit.
Suddenly they were replaced with blue, cold flames, which felt nice on the heated skin and familiar. They belonged to a blonde man with a lazy expression.
The person, Luffy had started to miss during his training more than he missed his brother and his friends. The person, he longed to see again. The first division commander of the Whitebeard pirates and the right man of Whitebeard, Marco.
The blonde had pushed him behind his back so he was a few meters away from his burning brother.
„Ace, use your anger to help the people and not to damage everything around you", Whitebeard said. It was like the voice of his father figure calmed Ace enough to look a bit shocked at him. On his arms were little red marks.
„I should take Luffy to…" „I'll take your little brother to Tess and show him around. Oyaji doesn't look like he is finished, yet", the cook guy interrupted his brother. „I'm the fourth division commander, Thatch. Nice to meet you."
They were joined by the female commander Haruta who cringed slightly when he shortened her name a bit. But Haru sounded better and it was easier to remember.
The visit in the sickbay for his burns was rather short. Tess, the head nurse, just applied a cold ointment to the red spots and told him to cool them if they started to burn. Luffy nodded.
He was excited to discover the Moby Dick. He had seen the ship at the war. He also thought it was destroyed by the magma user. But it seemed that they either used a copy to make the marines think that they came with the original or this was a rebuilt version of their trusted ship. He hoped it was not a rebuilt. Because you couldn't just replace Nakama by rebuilding them. That wouldn't be any honour.
„Ne, is this a rebuilt?", Luffy asked. Haruta looked at him a bit surprised and shake her head. „It is more like a twin of the one we used in Marine Ford. This ship stayed hidden in the sea close to the red line. So we would be able to care for the wounded in the war and also fight back if the Marine decided to follow us. We never thought about naming these two twin ships different. But this Moby is a bit bigger than the one that got destroyed", she explained. Luffy nodded.
The end of the tour resulted in a little prank against the crew. That wouldn't be noticed until it was much later. Luffy was a bit sad that he wouldn't get to see the reaction.
Also at the end of the tour, he was sure he wasn't able to forget Thatch's name.
The Moby Dick had already docked next to the Sunny when they came on the deck again. His crew looked a bit uncomfortable. Well, Nami, Usopp and Chopper. The others were more interested in Ace's crew and didn't show any fear.
Ace was being held down by Sparkle and Marco. His brother wriggled beneath them and cursed about someone.
„We all know that you have a brother-complex, Ace. But you can't keep going after every guy who hurts your brother in a fight. Also, Jinbe already told you that this guy is taking care of and would most likely just die because of the rapid ageing he had gone through, yoi", Marco said.
The blonde looked annoyed. Luffy bites his lips. He didn't like it. Marco should be more relaxed. It irked him that he wasn't able to do anything at the moment.
Whitebeard seemed amused at the sight before him. Then he noticed Luffy and nodded to him. „Well, brat?" „I like your ship. It is so big. But I like Sunny better. It feels homier. Sorry, Moby", Luffy said with a grin. He heard Usopp shrieking silently.
Whitebeard laughed. „I don't think Moby will be offended if you like your own ship better."
„Luffy, what were you thinking going off on your own? If you would have fallen into the water we wouldn't have been able to get you", Nami scolded him with crossed arms.
He just tilted his head and grinned. „But you know where I would go. To see Ace and Ace's Nakama. So I could thank him for protecting me in the war", Luffy said. This made Nami have a sad gleam in her eyes. The gleam appeared also in the eyes of the other crew members.
Zoro stepped forward. „Oi, Ace, sorry for not being able to keep our captain, well your brother, out of trouble before the war. And I think, we also own everyone a thank you for keeping our reckless captain alive", the swordsman said.
That surprised many crew members, but Sanji nodded behind him. It was rare when they agreed on something. But it was good to hear at that moment.
„Ne, guys, there will be another party. So we can set sail tomorrow", Luffy said with a bright grin. „Another party? More booze? I am in", Zoro told him with a grin. That got every crew member on different thoughts.
Most of Whitebeard's crew would help the Fishman rebuilding and repair the damage. Nami and Robin decided to go shopping. Sanji first wanted to go with the two female members, but then decided against it and declared he would help cooking. Zoro would explore a bit with Chopper who thought it would be best to not let the swordsman go off on his own. Usopp, Franky and Brook stayed on the Sunny to work on some new stuff or new songs.
Luffy thought about a way to get some alone time with a certain blonde. But this wouldn't be so easy. Because his brother was having trouble of letting him out of his sight as soon as he intended to leave the ship.
„Stop being such a worrywart, Ace", Luffy pouted. „If you want, I can take your brother with me. I want to check on a different part of the island, your brother wasn't, yet, I guess. So it would keep him busy to see the new things around there, yoi", Marco suggested.
Luffy turned his head and let their eyes met. Was that a plan from the blonde to get him some alone time with him? The thought alone made the boy grin and happy. He looked at his big brother with pleading eyes. Even if he wouldn't need a permit, it was better to have it.
Ace studied him carefully before he sighed. Luffy's grin only became bigger. „Fine, but be careful, Marco. Luffy is getting easily distracted if he is not in a fight."
„So like you, yoi?"
Some protests were heard, as Marco left the ship with Luffy following him.
The boy was nervous but happy. His eyes darted towards Marco and then to the people around him. He didn't know what he was allowed to do. What kind of interaction was subtle enough that no one would notice? Would it be okay to hold Marco's hand be okay or too dangerous to expose their secret?
Also, the people around them were staring at him. From Jinbe's tale, he suspected that the Whitebeard pirates are respected around here. But some were staring at them like they were heroes. It made Luffy uncomfortable. He didn't want to be celebrated as a hero. A hero had to share. He was no hero.
A pout started to form himself as more people thanked him. „Are many people around the area you plan to go?", Luffy asked. Marco shook his head. „It is less visit. So it can be possible that there is some damage done, but no one notices it so there won't be any help until much later, yoi." Luffy nodded at that explanation.
„Luffy-senpai?", a female voice said behind them. It was a group of mermaids who were all blushing.
Luffy tilted his head. What was wrong with them? Why were they blushing? „Are you having a fever?"
The blush of them only became deeper and they mumbled something which Luffy couldn't understand. But Marco seemed to be able to pick up what they were talking about. There was a hidden emotion in these blue eyes.
„Sorry, if it may sound impolite. But we have a tight time schedule, yoi", the Phoenix said with a strict voice and pulled Luffy with him.
The young captain needed a few minutes to be able to walk again instead of being dragged as Marco stopped. He felt himself being pinned against a wall and a familiar pair of lips on his own made it impossible for him to ask any questions.
But he didn't care. A sigh left his lips as Luffy let his focus slipped when there was no one near them. He lifted his arms around Marco's neck and started to respond to the kiss.
It was not like the ones they shared before during his training. There was something in it which made Luffy shiver.
Marco's tongue licked his lips before it entered his mouth. Unsure what he should do. He waited and gave Marco some leeway. The tongue of the other explored and caressed his mouth.
It somehow made his knees go softer. He had to cling more to Marco to be able to still stand.
This was the exact moment when their lips separated, but their foreheads still touched.
„Missed you, Marco", Luffy whispered breathlessly but smiling. „Missed you, too, yoi." The blonde had lifted one hand and was now caressing his cheek. Luffy leaned into the touch and closed his eyes again.
„What did they say? You looked angry about it", Luffy said and snuggled slightly into Marco's warm body. The blonde holding him in a soft hug. The grip tightened as he closed his mouth after his question. He gasped lightly as felt himself being pressed closer to Marco.
„They were gushing over that you seemed to worry about them, yoi", the blonde grumbled. Oh… so Marco was jealous? There was no reason for the blonde to be jealous. Afterall, Marco got Luffy's full interest in romantical stuff.
But before he could voice that, the blonde kissed him again. It felt the same like the first kiss on Fishman Island. It was kinda impossible for him to stay concentrated, but he couldn't bring himself to care about it. A strange noise was elected from him, as Marco started to grind his tongue against his own. It led to a dance of their tongues around each other, which made Luffy repeat the noise. But Marco wasn't bothered by it. It was the opposite. He could feel the blonde grinning in the kiss.
Luffy whined as their lips separated again and Marco's warmth also disappeared from his body. „I wasn't lying when I said that we have a tight time schedule. But I think we can find some time later, when most of the crew is drunk, yoi." The blonde intertwined their fingers. This made Luffy smile a bit. „And if we hurry and the place didn't get damaged much, we can pick up a snack in some café, yoi." „Then let's go", Luffy cheered.
They were lucky. The little place, Marco had wanted to check on, was unharmed. So they were now seated in a little café. A dark coffee was in front of Marco and Luffy had a waffle with whipped cream and fruits. The atmosphere was peaceful and the few people, who were with them, didn't stare at them like some kind of heroes.
But a little part of Luffy's mind wanted them to do that. To see if Marco reacted again like before. Deep in his thoughts, he licked the whipped cream from his fingers. Not noticing how the waitress seemed to study both, Marco and him, and how the blonde glared at her slightly.
Even when he noticed it, he couldn't bring himself to care. Especially not, as Marco hid with him on their way back again and kissed him breathless. So his boyfriend didn't like to share. That was an information, he should store.
The party was fun. It was more fun than the banket at the palace. Maybe because he wasn't limited to a bubble. But also because his brother was with him. Instead of a drinking competition, they did an eating competition which scared some of the cooks form Ace's Nakama and Thatch could only shake his head laughing.
But his eyes always wandered to Marco who sat next to Ossan and looked amused over them. He wondered if they would get some time to say good-bye without anyone there. Also, there was something, he felt should say to the blonde, before he started his journey in the New World. Luffy didn't notice that Ace stole some meat from him. Only when his brother started to laugh, which led to a food fight.
Much later Luffy sat on the crow's nest and watched the dying lights. A grin ghosted across his face. How many of the Whitebeard pirates would notice the prank as drunk as they were?
„What are you thinking about, yoi?" Blue flames lightened the area around him, as Marco landed next to him. „Nothing", Luffy chirped with a grin and hugged the blonde. The lifted eyebrow of the Phoenix told him that the blonde didn't believe him one bit.
„Marco?", he whispered and made sure that their glances were connected. „Before we set sail again and I don't know when we will see each other again…", Luffy frowned lightly. He didn't like how it sounded, but he didn't have any other idea how to say it. Marco kissed his cheeks before he pecked him on the lips. „We will see each other again. You have a Vivre Card of your brother and mine now, too. Next time, we will make you one, yoi", the blonde said and offered him a piece of paper which was signed with ‚M'.
Luffy grinned as he took the paper and pressed it to his heart. „It's a promise", he said and hid the Vivre Card behind the red band of his hat. „Marco? I think I love you", Luffy whispered and kissed the blonde, before the Phoenix had a chance to react. Marco's arms snaked themselves around him and hold him close while the kiss stayed tender and soft.
„If I am right, I love you, too, yoi."
~Flashback end~
„So you didn't just ask the people on Fishman Island just for fun, yoi?" „No, I didn't like their hero worshipping. A hero has to share", Luffy pouted, which made Marco laugh. But the blonde caressed his hair.
A knock interrupted the peaceful moment. „I don't know what you are doing and I don't want to figure it out. But I was sent to get you to breakfast, so hurry", Ace said. He had the modesty to not break down the door, even if he would be able to.
Luffy looked to Marco as he felt that the blonde sat himself up. „Five minutes and we are ready, yoi." Luffy pouted. „We have much time left later. You did quite a job to increase my paperwork by hiding it or giving it away, yoi", Marco said chuckling. This made Luffy grin content and he stood up.
A few minutes later they were both dressed and were on their way to the mess hall with Ace. His and his boyfriend's fingers were intertwined, which made Luffy grin happily. Especially since Ace had only rolled his eyes shortly, but hadn't said anything about it.
„Before I forget. From the bet. 40% of the loot", his big brother said and gave a strumming bag to Marco who placed it in his pocket. „Bet?" Luffy looked confused at the two Whitebeard pirates. „Nothing important, yoi", Marco said and gave him a short kiss on his temple, before he tried to let go of his hand. But Luffy only tightened his grip.
„Everyone knows now. So no more keeping it a secret", the young captain said and grinned at his lover.
„It would be a wonder if someone didn't get it after yesterday. I'm pretty sure everyone heard you at one point last night", Ace said. He glared slightly at Marco, as he now noticed the love bite, Marco left on him.
„Don't think about it, Ace", Luffy said and circled Marco's waist with his arms. Glaring at his big brother.
„Have some pity for me… I wasn't allowed to give out some burns for the comments yesterday." Ace started to pout. This made Luffy laugh and Marco could only shake his head.
When they entered the mess hall, everyone's attention was on them.
„Is something wrong?", Luffy asked and tilted his face. „Good morning, Luffy", Izo grinned slightly. It was obvious that the cross-dresser wanted the details later. But had the modesty to not ask about it while everyone was there.
„We just finished your story, we are allowed to tell now. So since you kept some of us up last night, how about you tell us a bit of Fishman Island. Afterall we now knew that you two were already together and you can't say that there were some hidden interactions", Thatch said.
„No."
Surprised glances landed on Luffy. It seemed like everyone had expected Marco to protest, but not Luffy.
„Whatever happened there, stays between Marco and me. Because it is a treasure not meant for sharing."
Can I be sad? This is the last regular chapter of this story. Only an epilogue is left. I have a date in mind when I would like to publish the last chapter and I think some of you can think which it will be most likely. But I won't say anything in case I didn't make it.
So have a nice day and please remember my question from the author note at the beginning and your prompts, if you want one to be written down.
