"Have you ever wondered how women dealt with leg hair back during the Renaissance?" The question is accompanied by a groan in the night air, cot pressed against his shifting.

"Sabo, please…" Ace whines, "its some Maiden forsaken hour and I need sleep for tomorrow." The words are filled with complaints and has Sabo make a hum while turning to face the other, seeing somewhat that his lover is facing his way, but that's about it.

"It's a serious question, Ace." The reply leaves him as he had been thinking of some history books he was studying up on for a trip he was planning to take his boyfriend on, leaving it a surprise. His question would give nothing away for what he has planned, but he did like finding the other's interests in certain subjects. Though, this curiosity was something simply needing to be satisfied so his brain could calm down.

"Can we save it for tomorrow?"

"It's probably already tomorrow, so I don't need to save it any longer." Sabo practically jumps back with that and can hear a soft whine of slight desperation.

"I know we couldn't bring your fan because of no electricity, Sabo, but please… If I don't sleep then Thatch and Haruta are going to complain we can't do much if I am falling asleep randomly." Hearing the explanation has Sabo sigh, knowing his boyfriend needed to sleep since they are camping out somewhere. It had been Ace's pick, heavily influenced by the two who came along, but part of him couldn't help but want Ace to linger around longer in the morning while the other two wonder off.

"I'll let you sleep if you promise to let me have my way with you at the waterfall." There is a silence drawing out, followed by a soft needy groan, making Sabo smirk.

"I fully agree to those terms." The tone dipped a little as Ace is tired, but his body would certainly supply anything for the need.

"Good," Sabo smiles in some type of victory while moving a hand to pet through dark locks, adjusting as it was dark and he slightly missed. "Night, Ace."

"Love you, 'bo…" The muttering trails as Ace easily slips back to sleep and Sabo smiles while closing his eyes and enjoying the sound of the soft muffled snoring of his lover. He was sure to remember his question so he could ask at breakfast, planning to drive their companions nuts over his random curiosities.
