Hello everyone, here is a new story

This will focus on a Dom/Sub relationship between Marco and Ace in a modern world. I will not focus on the sexual aspect of it, but the other aspects outside of sex, and focus mostly on the mental health aspects of it. Sexual scenes will happen, but I will try and have as little as I can, and it will always be mentioned in the top AN if anything sexual is happening

This might seem slow-paced at the start, but it will pick up. I will start by this chapter, and if it seems interesting and you like it, please leave a comment or favorite it so I can know, it is what keeps me going. If people seem interested, I will continue it

Hope you enjoy

Read and relax


Ace sat with Marco at his couch, Marco asking him over suddenly. He had gotten close to Marco, and he hoped this would lead somewhere. Ace was scared to take the matter up. He wanted a relationship with Marco, but Marco had seemed to hold back. Maybe he could get to know more now. He had met Marco through Thatch, who was Marco's adoptive brother. Marco had a huge family and an amazing guardian, or foster father, Edward Newgate, or Whitebeard as he called himself, or Pops as everyone in his family called him. He was a nice man. As he was sitting on Marco's couch, Marco just a few feet away, Marco let out a breath. "Listen Ace, I like you, but I need to inform you of something first." Ace nodded, waiting for Marco to continue, which he did after a second.

"I practice something called a dominance and submission relationship, yoi. If you don't want that at all, you need to tell me now, and I won't try and progress this relationship." Ace blinked. Marco said what? "What is it? I haven't heard about it." Marco gave a kind look. "It means I act as a dom, someone who is in charge of his submissive. It might seem intense, but it will always be consensual." Ace nodded. "So it's a sexual thing?" Marco half nodded. "Sort of, but also no. There's a lot that's not sexual too, yoi. It is just how we will interact at all times. I will never do anything you don't want to, so you need to be honest with me. This requires a lot of trust, both ways." Ace nodded. "Okay. Have- have you been in a relationship before? A dominance and submission?" Marco nodded. "I have. And you can call it dom/sub relationship, it's shorter. I learned early on I was a dom. And, I have friends who are doms or dommes- female doms- and if you let me, I would love to show you." Ace nodded slowly. It sounded… intriguing in a way, but also scary. He didn't like to be controlled, he never had. "I don't know. It sounds to be a lot." Marco nodded. "It is, but I will be by your side through it all."

Ace tried to think. Did he want to try? "What- what if I say yes and regret it?" Marco smiled kindly at him. "Then we stop and leave each other and either leave as friends or just leave. If you don't like it, I will respect that. This is all trust and respect." Ace nodded slowly. "It sounds scary, somewhat." Marco nodded. "I get that, and it probably is scary at the start, yoi. But I will always be here. This can be intense, even when there is nothing sexual involved." Ace nodded. "How- how would it be?" Marco smiled. "Many practice something called scenes. Scenes where they practice a dom/sub relationship, and some practice it all times, which i do. That doesn't mean everything is connected to dom/sub, but it means I will always be your dom, even when we're out by people. But I will never show it to your family or close ones, never tell them, if you don't want to. Some practice it out by people, and I can do it, but my last one didn't like that, so it was only when we were alone. Many subs like to be sort of told what to do, sort of helped through their day, yoi." Ace nodded. "Controlled." Marco sighed. "Not controlled, that's wrong. You can say no and have your own voice. At the start I will be kind, but if we continue I might become more strict." Ace nodded. "Like how? Can you explain a scene?" Marco nodded, seeming to think, before he spoke.

"A scene can involve me asking you to kneel for me, and you need to do it, unless there's a good reason not to. I will then order you around for a small bit, maybe ask you to crawl, to say something, or move a certain way, yoi. When it is over, I will comfort you and hold you, be there for you." Ace blinked. "Comfort me?" Marco nodded. "Being a sub can involve something called subdrop, which won't happen at the start, but it is when you drop into your own mind in a bad way and need reassurance. Even if I just ask you to do a simple thing, I will always comfort you after, it is very important, at least to me. It isn't for everyone, but I feel it is." Ace nodded. He really did like Marco, and wanted to try a relationship with him. "I- I think I want to try. I want to be with you." Marco smiled at him. "That makes me glad, and we will take it slow, yoi." Ace nodded, glad Marco said that. Ace didn't know what this was and it sounded intimidating in a way.

Marco moved his hands to his. "I am really glad you want to try, I like you too, yoi. How about we try a small scene? Just so you can feel how it is." Ace nodded slowly. He could try it at least. Marco smiled and moved to stand up, heading over to a chair. "Let's see," started Marco before he held a hand out, "How about you come over here and kneel." Ace nodded slowly, before he slowly moved up and over to Marco. He honestly didn't want to kneel, it sounded degrading. Ace didn't like to be controlled. But, he really liked Marco. He had really been there for him the last weeks, and he would try this out. So when Ace was close to Marco, he slowly moved to crouch down, hoping it was enough.

"No," started Marco with a strong voice, a hand moving to his shoulder, "Down on your knees." Marco then moved to put pressure on his shoulder, and Ace swallowed. He wasn't too sure about this anymore. Kneeling was so undignifying and degrading. But as more pressure was put on his shoulder and he saw the comforting look Marco had, Ace slowly moved to kneel, going down on his knees, trying to keep his back straight and feel tall. He felt… scared in a way. He was down kneeling in front of Marco, a hand on his shoulder. What if Marco wanted more? What if he was asked to crawl? Ace really didn't want that. Marco had mentioned it, and he probably had for a reason, that he wanted to try it out. Or what if he was asked to say something degrading? He had heard about people being told to say they were just a slut and nothing more than just a plaything. Ace really didn't want that. What if that was connected to this dominance and submission thing? It had to be, it sounded to fit.

As Ace's thoughts were rambling, feeling himself start to tremble a bit, Marco's hand moved to his cheek, giving a comforting look. "Perfect. You did amazing, Ace. Come here, yoi," said Marco, leading his head with his hand towards his shoulder, and when his head was on Marco's shoulder, Marco moved his hand away from his cheek, arms moving around him. "You did just perfect and amazing, yoi. Just what I asked, thank you." Ace nodded, arms going around Marco too. This felt… nice. He liked this part. He didn't feel undignified anymore, or degraded. He felt fine. He felt cared for in a way. It felt strong, the comfort he felt was strong. Was that since he had been kneeling before? He felt low and degraded then, but not now. He felt fine. After a minute, Marco moved his hands away and sat a bit back. "How was it, yoi?" Ace swallowed, needing a second to find the words he wanted to say. "It felt… weird. I felt… low, but then fine. I don't know how to describe it." Marco nodded. "I get it. It can be intense, as I said." Ace nodded. That made sense, it had felt intense, he just couldn't find that word.

Marco then moved his hands to his again, holding them. "Would you try a relationship with me, yoi?" Ace thought for a second. Did he? This was all so much to take in. But, he really liked Marco and it had felt fine afterwards. If it didn't get more intense, he could handle it, he just needed to get used to it. "I- I can try. I want to try." Marco nodded, smiling. "Good, good. Remember I would never do anything you dislike, I would never push your boundaries, you just tell me to stop, and I will. We will make words later." Ace frowned. "Words?" Marco nodded. "Words that mean you're fine. Some use the traffic lights, where red is stop, yellow is slow down, and green is go. Some make their own words. But we'll take that later, we won't need it at the start, I hope. I will go slow." Ace noded. "Okay. I want to try." It had Marco smile more, looking happy. "I'm glad. I really would like a relationship with you." Ace did himself, he really liked Marco. "What now?" Marco hummed. "How about we go out to dinner, just to speak and get to know each other better." That had Ace smile too. That sounded nice, and he nodded.

They then headed out to a nice dinner, Ace trying to take everything in. But he was sure Marco would explain it more later. He was willing to try this new thing out for Marco.


And that's the chapter, hope you enjoyed

I know it was short, but this is hopefully just the start, I hope you will like this and make it able so I can make more chapters as I want to write about this and the mental aspects of it. As I said, I will not focus on the sexual aspect, but the other ones, like this small scene. It will evolve and I will mostly focus on Ace's mind, but also a bit on Marco's mind
