Ace put his glass down on the table, which had Marco sigh, moving to push it further onto the table. "Don't put your glass so close to the edge, yoi." Ace blinked. "Oh, I'll try." Marco nodded. "You will do it. What if it falls down and breaks? Someone could get hurt, yoi." Ace nodded, that was true. He should be better, even though it was a habit as he wanted the glass close to himself, the reason he put it so close to the edge. But he also wanted to please Marco, and that's the thing he wanted most. He could change that, it was just a little thing.
The rest of the week went by fine, Ace managed to put his glass more on the table, and he felt proud of himself. When Sunday came, Ace moved towards the bedroom, in a hot make out session with Marco. When they got to the bed and Ace moved to lie on it, Marco over himself, Ace really wanted to get to the deed as he was extremely horny right now. Marco moved a bit up. "Want to include this in a scene, yoi?" Ace gave a groan. "No! Just plow me!" Marco chuckled. "This time, I will. But next time, we do a scene, yoi." Ace nodded. "Sure, yeah." Ace just wanted Marco to move forward, he would about agree to anything right now. Marco chuckled, before he went back to making out with him.
(*)
Marco then moved his hands to take his clothes off, Ace returning the favor and taking off Marco's, making a quick work of it as Ace wanted to be plowed, and plowed good. Marco was good at that. When their clothes were off, Ace moved them around so Ace was straddling Marco, giving a grin to Marco. "I want to ride you again." Marco chuckled. "It felt that good, yoi?" Ace moved down and connected his lips to Marco. "With you, everything feels good." he hadn't ridden Marco since he had done it in that scene. But he wanted to try it again. It had felt extremely good. Ace then moved a bit up so Marco could stretch and get the lube from the desk, coating his fingers, and one finger was soon at his entrance prodding, before it was pushed inside, and Ace gave a groan with a moan. It always had that tinge of pain, but it was pleasurable than painful, much more. The finger then started to move in and out, and it had Ace moaning, just feeling pleasure now. When he felt the finger went in and out easy, another finger soon joined, scissoring him open. As Marco did it, Ace moved down and connected his lips to Marco, moaning in the kiss. It felt so good. When another finger joined the two, Ace moved his hand down to Marco's member, stroking it with the thrust of the fingers. He wasn't the only one who was going to feel pleasure. He did hear Marco moan at it, their lips still connected.
When he felt ready, Ace leaned back, looking down at Marco, one hand moving to Marco's chest, to have some leverage. Marco then moved his coated hand to his member, coating it, and Ace could hear the slick sound of his hand moving on his member, just turning him on more. When Marco moved his hand away from his member, Ace didn't waste time in lining up, before he moved down on it. As he did, both he and Marco moaned. When he was fully seated, he was panting, as it felt so good to be connected to Marco. He loved every moment of intimacy with Marco. After some seconds, he started to move up and down, keeping his hand on Marco's chest, while Marco's hands started to make their way up his sides, before moving to his chest, hands moving to his nipples and playing with them, which made a low moan come forth. It felt so good. As Marco was laying with his nipples, he started to move faster, and Marco started to meet his thrusts. When Ace felt he was nearing his finish, he started to move a hand towards his own member, but Marco moved a hand away from his nipple to stop it. "No no, if you top, no touching yourself, yoi." Ace blinked. What? He couldn't touch himself? Ace gave a moan as Marco hit his prostate, before he moved his hand to Marco's. "Then you touch me!" He almost growled out, and Marco chuckled, moving his hand to his member and starting to move it with his thrusts. As Ace felt he would come, Marco shook his head a bit. "No, don't come yet, yoi. Hold back." Ace didn't want to hold back, he just wanted to come. "No! Let me! Please!" Marco shook his head. "No, hold back, just a bit. Wait, yoi." Ace gave a small whimper, not sure if he could do that.
When Marco hit his prostate dead on, Ace couldn't hold back and came hard, moaning. Marco continued to thrust into his body for a bit more, before he came himself, Ace feeling the warmth spread in his hole.
(*)
As both were done, Ace fell down next to Marco, panting, before he looked at Marco. "Sorry for not holding back." Marco shook his head. "No, it's okay. This wasn't a scene. You were really horny for some reason. Any idea why, yoi?" Ace hummed. "Just being around you makes me horny." Marco chuckled, moving to lie on his side and moving a hand to his cheek. "I'm glad you like me, yoi." Ace moved a hand to his. "I really like you, Marco." Marco chuckled. "Well, I love you, Ace." Ace chuckled. "I love you too. Just not used to saying it." Marco gave a curious look. "Didn't you say it to your other boyfriends, yoi?" Ace shook his head. "Not with all of them. I told it once to my girlfriend, way back." Marco blinked. "Girlfriend?" Ace nodded. "How do you think I found out I was gay? We were together for long. I think I said it since I didn't want to admit I was gay at the start. But it just got harder and harder to be with her."
Marco nodded. "How did she take it, yoi? That you were gay" Ace hummed. "She knew before me I think, she wasn't surprised. I know you probably won't like it, but we still speak now and then." Marco blinked again. "You do?" Ace nodded. "Just as friends, I mean that. I have no interest in her like that, but like her as a friend." Marco nodded. "Could I meet her?" Ace nodded. "Sure. She's away for a couple weeks, she's on vacation in Norway. How about we have dinner out together? Or here?" Marco nodded. "Let's have it here. I'm curious about your first girlfriend. I never had one, yoi." Ace blinked. "Haven't you? You just knew you were gay?" Marco nodded. "Exactly, yoi." Ace gave an 'huh'. "I wished I did, would have saved me a lot of worry about telling her." Marco nodded. "I get it. Many have had girlfriends. I am interested in how you still speak." Ace shrugged. "We have always been good friends. We were childhood friends. I hope you don't mind." Marco shook his head. "No no, I know nothing will happen. I know you're gay and not bi." Ace nodded.
They then spend a bit more time in bed, before they got back up and dressed, continuing their day.

Ace gave a hum as he walked to the kitchen and got himself a glass of water, an ad break in the TV show they were watching, Marco using the time to go to the bathroom. When he got back into the living room, Ace put his glass onto the table, before he moved to grab something from a desk, before he headed back to the couch. As he walked, he lightly knocked into the table, making it wobble a small bit. But as it did, the glass he had, which he placed close to the edge, fell down to the floor and shattered.
As it happened, Ace felt his insides grow cold. This was what Marco had said would happen if he continued to place the glass so close to the edge, and Ace had said he wouldn't do it anymore. Marco was still in the bathroom, so he had the time, and quickly picked up the shards from the ground, flinching a bit as a few shards cut him, before he used his sock to do his best to dry the ground, before he ran to the kitchen and threw the shards in the trash, cutting himself more as he did. As they were thrown out, he took a rag and ran out to the living room and did his best to dry the mess, before he picked up the reminder of the shards, not seeing the blood drops he left behind as blood trickled down his hands.
He then ran back to the kitchen and threw it out, missing a few shards, and moved to pick them up, but as he did, Marco came into the kitchen. "What was that sou- Ace! What happened, yoi?!" Ace stood up, feeling like a deer in headlights as Marco raised his voice a bit. "I-I-" Ace didn't get more out as Marco quickly made his way over and took his hands, Ace now seeing the blood trickling down them, and Marco moved towards the sink, before he moved his hands into the water as he turned the faucet on. "What did you do, yoi?" Asked Marco, sounding calm and worried. Ace swallowed. "I- I placed my glass too close to the edge and knocked into the table, and it fell and shattered." Marco frowned a bit. "But why did you cut yourself? Why not use gloves, yoi?"
Ace swallowed again. "I wanted to clean it up before you came out… I shouldn't have placed my glass so close to the edge again… I didn't want to make you mad… You sounded mad..." Marco blinked, before he grabbed some paper for him to use to dry his hands. "I wouldn't have been mad, or disappointed, or anything. I would have mentioned you shouldn't do it, but I would never have been mad at you for that, yoi. It was an honest mistake. Right now, I'm just worried, you cut yourself badly." Ace nodded, taking the paper away so he could look at his hands, seeing he actually had cut himself pretty bad, having 4 deep cuts, and many small ones. He didn't mean that. "I didn't mean for that to happen…" Marco nodded. "I know, but it did. I'm sorry I raised my voice, but I was worried, yoi." Ace nodded, now feeling foolish, for believing Marco would be mad. He never got mad, he was a calm person.
As his hands were clean, Marco moved to look at them. "I don't think they need stitches. Or wait, maybe these four do. We should head and see to be sure, yoi." Ace gave an unsure sound. "Do you think so? It doesn't hurt." It didn't, for some reason. Marco nodded. "I want to make sure you're fine. A few of them are deep, yoi." Ace nodded, he got it. "Maybe we should." Marco nodded. "We should. Grab some paper and let's head to the car, yoi." Ace nodded and did, taking a large amount of paper as his hands were still bleeding badly. When they got to the hospital, they went to the emergency room, where they showed his hands to the woman at the desk, who said that yes, he needed stitches on 3 of the 4 deep wounds, and told them to sit down and wait, which they did.
It took almost half an hour, but they were soon called up and headed to a room, where a doctor met them, giving a look to them. "So, how did this happen?" Marco sighed. "He cut himself on some glass shards from a broken glass, yoi." The doctor nodded. "I see. I need to clean them then, to make sure there aren't more shards in the wounds. It can sting a bit." Ace nodded, he could handle that. The doctor then grabbed a few things, before he moved to clean his wounds, which did sting, but nothing he couldn't handle. When they were cleaned, the doctor sat a mild numbing shot, before he started to sew the wounds. As the doctor was sewing them, Marco asked if it hurt, which it didn't, and Ace shook his head. He felt nothing. Which was good. When the doctor was done, he put on some bandages, before he gave a smile. "There. Try and not harm yourself on more glass." Ace nodded. "I won't. Thanks for the help." The doctor shook his head. "It was nothing. The woman behind the desk will take care of your payment." Ace nodded and they headed to make up for themselves, and when Ace tried to pay, Marco was faster and did it before him, making him blink and look at Marco, who gave a sheepish smile. "I feel a bit responsible for this. Let me pay, yoi." Ace nodded, it was fine.
They then headed back home, and after an hour, Ace started to feel pain in his hands, which had him looking at Marco. "My hands hurt." Marco nodded. "You probably got some adrenaline before, and now the numbing shot has gone out. You want some pain pills, yoi?" Ace nodded, he did. Marco then went and got them, bringing back a glass of water too, and Ace took the pills, before he placed his glass on the table, far in on it. Not wanting another accident to happen.
The rest of the day went by fine, and two days later, they headed to meet the others, Ace excited for it. And when he sat down on the table with the others, Mika gave a look to him. "What happened to your hands?" Ace blinked. "Oh, it's stupid. I put my glass too close to the edge, and it fell and broke, and I panicked, since Marco had said to not put it so close to the edge. So I tried to fix it before he knew and cut myself badly. I needed 6 stitches all together." The others nodded, Penguin speaking. "You shouldn't try and hide things. That can make it worse." Zoro nodded. "Yeah. I once hid something I did, and when Mihawk found out, I got punished since I hid it." Ace blinked, he hadn't thought about it like that. But it made sense. Hiding it would have been like lying, and he did know Marco didn't like lying. Not that anyone did like lying, but still. Mika then gave a smile to him. "Aside from that, how are you? You still say sir? And sharing a plate?" Ace nodded. They were doing fine. "Yeah. We don't always use sir, but most times we do. And we share a plate when there's food that can be shared." The others nodded, penguin speaking. "Sounds so nice. I remember how happy I was when we first did it. Not that I'm less happy now, but I remember how nice it was." Ace nodded, it was nice.
They then spoke about different things, before they had dinner, them going to the other table and sitting down, before they got served food, which could be shared as it was sausage and fries. And as they ate, he used the time to try and speak to the other doms, which was nice. When it was over, the subs moved to the other table and they spoke about small things, before the evening came and they left. As they were in the car, Marco asked how it had gone, and Ace said it had gone by fine. He had had fun.
When the next day came, Marco asked if they should stretch, which Ace said yes to. He was growing better at it, when they stretched his legs, his leg almost touched his torso , which was amazing and so much better than what it had been. After it, Marco asked if they should do a scene, which Ace also said yes to. He wanted that. It started normally, Ace being asked to be on his knees, before asked to do some positions. Ace liked it. It was something about being told what to do that put his mind at ease. They did positions for about 5 minutes, before Marco sent a look at him when he was back on his knees. "Could you tell me where we are, yoi?" Ace blinked. "We're home, sir." Marco gave an amused smile. "Are we?"
Ace blinked. Yes, they were, they were in Marco's… home. Oh, Ace just called it their home. But, he liked the sound of that. "Yes, we are, sir." Marco smiled. "Maybe we are. Should we move in together, yoi?" Ace blinked, was Marco really asking that? Did he want that? He liked it here, and they were mostly here, as Marco had a much larger apartment than him, but still, they had only been together for some months, closing in on 5 now. But he did like Marco, he liked Marco a lot. "Ace?" Asked Marco as he didn't answer, and Ace blinked, realising he needed an answer. "Yes, but also no. I want to keep my apartment for a bit more, sir. But yes, let's move in together. I feel at home." That had Marco smile and he moved in for a deep kiss, and when they parted, Marco smiled at him. "I'm glad you think that, yoi." Ace was as well. He wanted to live here with Marco, and hoped they would for a long time.
They then ended the scene, Marco hugging Ace, and Ace chuckled. "I should probably change my address, or is that too early?" Marco hummed. "It's up to you, yoi. If you want to, do it." Ace smiled. "I want to." He did, he wanted to live with Marco. But he wasn't ready to give up his apartment just yet. Just in case he needed to be alone for a bit. He would see how things were the next few weeks, and then think of selling it. Maybe he should do it now? He could use the money. When they moved to the couch, Ace looked at Marco. "Should I maybe just sell my apartment? I could use the money." Marco hummed. "It's up to you. But know that since we're together, we can share economics." Ace blinked, he hadn't thought of that. That sounded to maybe be smart. He didn't really want to sell just yet. They were still just 5 months into this. But then again, he really liked Marco. Ace hummed himself. "I think I'll wait a bit to sell." Marco nodded. "Sounds wise. When you decide, we can have Izou help prepare the apartment. He's good with that, yoi." Ace nodded, that sounded smart. He then gave a smile as he leaned against Marco, turning to look at the TV. It had been a good scene and he was happy with the outcome.
-x-
Ace was excited as they were in the movies, and they were finally going to watch the movie he wanted. It had just started and it would be a long movie, almost 3 hours, but he was looking forward to it. As it started, they first got a recap from the last movie, his being the second one, and he had seen the first just the other day, for the 4th time, and he still loved it. As they were about a quarter into the movie, he grabbed onto Marco's arm. "He's from the first movie! He-" Marco held a finger out. "Shh, we're at the cinema, yoi. Be quiet." Ace nodded, that was true, he needed to be quiet. He was quiet for an hour, before a sudden death, which had Ace confused. "Why would they kill him! He's-" Marco moved a hand to his. "Quiet, Ace. Second warning." Ace blinked, oh, he forgot himself again. Ace nodded, he could do that. He was quiet for most of the movie after that, but just as it was ending, it turned out the person wasn't dead after all, he had faked his own death. "Oh! He's alive! He's alive Mar-" Marco gave a loud sigh, making him realise his mistake. "No! I'm sorry!" Marco shook his head, leaning closer to him. "When we get home, you'll be punished." Ace felt his face fall, he didn't want that, he didn't want to be punished. He wanted to be good for Marco, not bad. The rest of the movie, which was about 20 minutes, he was dead quiet, feeling bad.
When it was over, he was quiet in the car ride home as well, and when they got home, he stood and waited by the couch, and Marco moved to sit down, motioning in front of him. "Down on your knees." Ace complied, and when he was down, Marco moved a hand to his shoulder. "What did you do wrong, yoi?" Ace sighed. "I spoke out 3 times, even after warnings." Marco nodded. "How many warnings did you get, yoi?" Ace sighed again, feeling bad. "2 warnings. I didn't listen." Marco nodded. "And are you sorry?" Ace nodded. "I am, I really am." Marco nodded. "That is good, but still. You're not allowed to speak the next 2 hours unless spoken to." Ace blinked. What? That was new. "I can't-" Marco held a hand up. "Starting now, yoi. Everytime you speak, it resets." Ace nodded, he understood. Marco sat quiet for a few seconds, to be sure he didn't speak, before he nodded. "Good. I will inform you when time is up." Ace nodded, feeling down again. He really had messed up, enough to get a harder punishment than just stating his mistake.
Ace then started his silent time, trying to find things to do, and wound up in front of the TV on the couch, also using his phone and playing, as the show wasn't that interesting. But as about 3 quarters had moved by, Marco walked over to him. "Ace, do you want food, yoi?" Ace blinked. Could he answer? Oh, yeah, if he was spoken to he could respond. What should he say? He needed to say it right, he didn't want to irritate Marco more. Was he hungry? Of course he was! He always was. But could he say that? What if this was a trick? What if- Marco moved a hand to his shoulder. "Don't overthink, yoi. Just, are you hungry? I'm making myself a sandwich, and wondered if you wanted one." Ace nodded. "Y-yes, sir." He hit himself mentally for stuttering. Marco sighed. "You don't need to call me sir outside of scenes if you don't want to, yoi." Ace nodded, but this felt like a scene. Marco nodded. "Okay, I will make you one sandwich, yoi."
Ace nodded again and Marco headed away to make that, and returned 5 minutes later with two sandwiches, one which he handed to him. And he almost said thank you, but held it back. He wasn't supposed to speak. Marco then sat down beside him and moved to look at the TV as well. But after half an hour, Ace's phone rang, and he saw it was Luffy. Could he answer that? He looked at Marco, who shook his head. "Only if it's important. You're still not allowed to speak, yoi." Ace nodded and tried to think. It was just Luffy, he called every other day to hear how he was. He had called yesterday, but it did happen he called one day after. He didn't see them nearly as often as he used to, and he knew he was out with Sabo today, so he was probably fine. So Ace moved his hand to cancel the call after one ring. He could call him after this.
As he had hung up, Luffy called back, and Ace cancelled the call again. Luffy could call up to 5 times when he didn't make it. But he should hear he cancelled it as it only rang once. Luffy then rang back one more time, and if he called one more time, he would answer. But Luffy didn't call back after that, which was good. Ace couldn't speak right now. Marco gave him a comforting smile. "You can call back later, yoi." Ace nodded, he could. He was then quiet for the rest of the time, and as the two hour had passed, Marco moved to look at him. "Okay, two hours passed, yoi. You can speak again." Ace nodded, and moved to head a bit away, taking his phone out and calling Luffy, but he didn't answer. That was odd, Luffy always answered. He then tried to call Sabo, but again, no answer. This was odd, they weren't that busy, just going to head to a gallery as Sabo liked art and there was a new exhibition in town right now. Ace couldn't join since he was going to the movies, so they would meet up the next day.
Ace then moved back to the couch, having a feeling something was wrong in his gut, and he didn't like it. But as half an hour had passed, he got a message on his phone. And it was from Sabo, so he moved to open it, blinking as he read it. 'I know you cancelled our call 3 times. Do you know why we called? Luffy broke his arm! And we needed you with your car, but you didn't answer! Don't bother calling or coming tomorrow, Luffy needs to be in the hospital for a couple days and you're not welcomed.' Ace blinked again as he had read it. They were mad at him? He had cancelled their call, but he had a reason. 'I'm sorry, I was busy. Please don't be mad. Let me come say hi. Please.' It took a while, but he soon got a response. 'I don't care! Your movie is over long ago, so you should just be home, nothing is more important than family, and you just decided something was. Stay away unless you have a legit reason you actually canceled our call.' Ace swallowed. He wasn't wanted. He had messed up and now Sabo was mad at him. He had a reason, but he couldn't tell that. He didn't want to tell Sabo what he was in. He needed to say something, and he didn't want to say it through text. 'Please listen, I have a reason. Let me just come over.' It took a few minutes, but he got a response. 'If it's not that important you can't say it in a message, I don't want to hear it. STAY AWAY!' Ace felt bad inside, he wasn't wanted by his brothers. He had messed up bad. He didn't know what to do. He tried to message back, but he got no answer.
He didn't like this, he needed his brothers. He really did need them, and he felt horrible. He didn't want them to be mad at him, he didn't mean for Luffy to get injured. He tried to send a message to both Luffy and Sabo for the next hour, but no answer, he even tried calling, but nothing. He was being ghosted. He didn't know how many messages he sent or how many times he tried to call, but nothing. He felt horrible, He wanted to just drive to the hospital, but he didn't know which it was. He could visit all of them, but they didn't want him there, they didn't want him. It made him feel low. When Marco came back to the living room, Ace tried to not think about it. He tried to think about other things, tried to concentrate looking at the TV, all the while he tried messaging Luffy and Sabo, but still nothing.
It was an hour later Marco looked at him. "How about we try another scene, yoi?" Ace nodded, still having a lump in his stomach from this whole Sabo and Luffy they started the scene, and it was just positions, before Marco asked who he was, and Ace felt floored. He was Ace, he was the brother to Luffy and Sabo, but they didn't want him anymore. He wasn't their brother anymore. And Luffy was injured. If he had answered, he could have helped, maybe Luffy didn't need to be in the hospital for long if he had answered. This was his fault. "-ce?" Ace looked up at Marco, feeling tears in his eyes. Marco looked worried. "What is it, yoi?" Ace was on his way to answer, when a sob came out of his mouth instead, before another followed. Marco moved to crouch down. "What is it? Can I hug you, yoi?" Ace didn't answer as he threw his arms around Marco, who moved to comfort him. "Shh, shh, it's okay, yoi." Marco comforted him until he had no more tears to cry, and then Marco leaned a bit back, arms still around him. "What did I do, yoi? Was it too sudden, yoi?" Ace shook his head. "N-no, it's just… Sabo and Luffy are mad at me, and I feel bad for it since Luffy got injured." Marco blinked. "What? He got injured? Why are they mad at you for that, yoi?" Ace took a breath. "Earlier… Luffy called, when I couldn't speak, and it was since he was injured and needed my car and me, and I didn't answer, so now he's in the hospital and they don't want to speak with me." Marco blinked, before he frowned. "Why didn't you answer, yoi?" Ace shook his head. "I couldn't speak." Marco shook his head. "Family is important, you could have taken that call." Ace blinked. "What?" He could have taken that call? Now he felt even worse, he had deliberately not answered, and he felt another sob come out of him as he felt bad once again. Marco went back to comforting him.
It took half an hour, but he soon ran out of tears again, Marco holding around him. "Listen, you did nothing wrong. Do you want me to call them? Maybe I can explain, yoi." Ace sniffled. "I don't know if I want them to know what we're doing." Marco shook his head. "If you don't want them to know, then I won't tell, yoi." Ace nodded, that was good. But could he tell them what he was doing? Would Luffy even understand? Ace gave a small sigh. "Maybe… Maybe you can explain a bit." Marco nodded. "Do you want me to call now, yoi?" Ace nodded, he did. He wanted to fix this as quickly as possible. He was being ghosted by them, he had tried calling and messaging, but nothing. "Y-yeah, I want to fix this." Marco nodded. "How do you feel? Are you doing better, yoi?" Ace nodded. "Y-yeah. We should get up." Marco nodded and they moved to the couch, where Marco got his phone out and got the number to Sabo, before he called. And Ace was sitting close enough to hear it was answered. He didn't hear what Sabo said, but he said something, before Marco answered. "It's Marco, please don't hang up, yoi." He heard some response from the other end, before Marco spoke again. "Ace feels really bad. If you want to be mad at someone, be at me. I made so Ace couldn't speak."
Ace felt tears well up in his eyes with that, a few falling. He really felt bad. He heard some response from the other end, before Marco looked at him, before he spoke. "I don't think he is able to speak, yoi. He's really out of it." No, did Sabo want to speak with him? "N-no! I can speak! Please!" It was mixed with a sob, and Marco shook his head, hand moving to his leg, as he responded to the phone. "Yes, he feels horrible. How about you come tomorrow for dinner, and we can explain, yoi? If Luffy is out of the hospital." Ace hoped they would, and it seemed it worked as Marco nodded. "Good, we'll see you at 4. Goodbye." He then hung up, and looked at him. "They are coming tomorrow at dinner, yoi. Luffy should be fine tomorrow morning. We can think of what to say until then." Ace nodded. He was glad they would come.
"How did Sabo sound?" Marco sighed. "At first, mad, before I think he got worried, he heard your sob I believe." Ace nodded, he didn't want that, he didn't want to seem weak. And he was about to speak up and say that went Marco moved a hand to his hand. "Listen, let's speak about this and come up with a response for them. Okay, yoi?" Ace nodded, and they needed to do that. They then used the rest of the day to find a response, and he felt they found one just before they went to bed, but they would see again when they woke up. When they did wake up and after breakfast, they spoke about what to say, and they stayed with the response. Now they just needed to wait for them to arrive.
It was half past 3 there was a knock on the door and Ace was instantly in front of it, opening it to see Luffy and Sabo, Luffy having a broken arm as it was in a cast. Ace was quick in hugging both, just feeling so glad they came. When they let go, Ace felt he had tears of happiness in his eyes, and it seemed Sabo noticed, giving him a worried look. They then sat down by the couch, Marco having a huge couch, enough for the 4 of them. When they were seated, Sabo crossed his hands. "Why shouldn't we be mad at you?" Ace was on his way to speak when he felt he couldn't, his throat just closed shut. Why couldn't he speak? Marco then moved a hand to his leg, before he started to speak. "Ace didn't want to tell you this so early, as it is personal, yoi." Sabo nodded. "Okay, I'm listening." Ace wanted to speak, but he couldn't, so Marco continued when he didn't speak. "We're in something called a Dominance and Submission relationship." Sabo frowned, same with Luffy, who spoke first. "What is that?" Sabo moved a hand out to Luffy. "I'll explain it later. Isn't that a sexual thing? I don't get how that made Ace couldn't speak."
Marco sighed. "It is both sexual and not. Most of what we do is not. What it means is that I act as a Dom for Ace, someone who controls his submissive, his Sub. I have an authority over Ace. If I say something, Ace needs to listen, if not, he gets punished. And it's no hitting or degrading. It is a mutual punishment." Sabo nodded slowly. "I still don't get this. Why couldn't you speak?" Marco sighed again. "Ace was being punished, since he spoke out of turn 3 times, and his punishment was to not speak for 2 hours, you called within those two hours." Sabo blinked. "So you actually couldn't talk?" Ace nodded. "I couldn't, if I did, I would get punished more." Sabo nodded slowly, and Luffy spoke up. "So Marco is like your parent? You need to follow his words or you get punished?" That was one way to explain it. And it was probably the best Luffy could understand. "Sort of?" He answered as he looked at Marco, who nodded. "It can be explained like that, yoi."
Luffy blinked, before he moved his hand to Sabo. "You can't be mad then! Ace couldn't talk!" Sabo nodded slowly. "I am taking this in. Why doesn't Marco go check the food." Marco nodded and went to the kitchen, giving a small kiss to him before he went. Ace understood what Sabo was doing, he was sending Marco away so he could speak with him alone. When Marco was gone, Sabo looked at him. "Is this true? You have someone who controls you? Is it really mutual?" Ace nodded. "It is. I mean, he doesn't control me. Or he does, but I have a choice in everything. I thought Luffy just called to say how he was doing, as he does." Sabo nodded, before he sighed. "Maybe I should have called with my phone." Ace gave a sheepish smile. "I would have answered that. You never call." Sabo sighed, hand moving to his face. "I should have called. Luffy always calls you."
Sabo then moved his hand away and looked at him with regret. "I'm sorry I got so mad. But I was stressed." Ace nodded. "I was so scared we weren't brothers anymore." Sabo blinked. "I mean, I would have calmed down! I would never, never, disown you! You are family! I was just a bit miffed." Ace nodded, feeling tears threatened to fall again. And Ace moved to hug Sabo and Luffy again, both hugging back, Luffy with one hand. When they parted, Ace moved a hand to his eye to dry a stray tear, Sabo giving a sigh. "I'm sorry I overreacted." Ace shook his head. "No, you can do that. I'm sorry I didn't answer." Sabo shook his head. "You couldn't, I somewhat get it. I will search a bit online." Ace quickly shook his head. "No! Don't do that! Wrong things will come up!" Sabo blinked. "What will come up?" Ace blinked. "Erm…" He said as he looked at Luffy, and Sabo nodded, getting it. "How about you send me some sites that explain it right?" Ace blinked, that he could do. "Yeah, I can do that. Let me get Marco to help that. I can do it when you leave." Sabo nodded. "That sounds good."
Marco then came and said dinner was ready, and they headed to the diner room to eat. Marco had a huge house, his job paying him great. The dinner went by fine, speaking about normal things, just having fun. They then stayed a bit more, before they left, and when they had, Marco hugged him. "It went by fine, yoi." Ace nodded. "Yeah. But could you help me find some sites that explain what dom/sub is? Sabo is curious." Marco nodded. "I can. Let me get the laptop, yoi." Marco then did and they sat down on the couch, checking sites out, Ace even helping as he read them first, before they sent 3 sites to Sabo, which seemed to be a good number. Now he just needed to wait for a response. It took two hours, but he soon got a message from Sabo. 'I get it more. I'm sorry I blew up.' Ace smiled and showed the message to Marco, who chuckled. "It went by fine." Ace nodded, before he sent a message back. Sabo wasn't fond of calling, so he used messages. If Sabo had called, he would have taken that call, as Sabo never calls. Marco then moved to hug him. "You did amazing, yoi. I'm sorry you had to tell them so suddenly." Ace shook his head. "No, it went fine."
The rest of the evening went by fine, and as night came, they headed to bed, spooning as they did, Ace liked that. When the next day came, they headed to Trevor's and Mika's place, going to meet up with the others. And as Ace sat down with the others, he sighed. "I got punished again, and I had a breakdown." The others frowned, Zoro speaking. "What happened?" Ace sighed. "I spoke out of turn again, at the movies, 3 times. Warning 2 times. And I wasn't allowed to speak for 2 hours." The others nodded. "Why did you break down?" Asked Shachi, and Ace sighed again. "While I couldn't speak, my brother called, and I thought he just wanted to say hi, as he does, and he was with our other brother, who is calm and an adult. So I thought they were fine. But my youngest brother had actually gotten injured, but I didn't know, so I cancelled the call, and they got upset about it, and was mad at me for ignoring their call. So they ghosted me and then Marco asked, in a scene, who I was, and I felt I had messed up and wasn't their brother anymore, so I broke down."
Mika nodded. "How did it go? Did you speak with them?" Ace nodded. "Marco called, and they came to our house the next day, and we explained what we're in and that I was being punished when they called. And then I sent some sites for them to read on." The others nodded, Mika speaking. "I see. It was mature of you to tell them. And they understood it, which is good. Many don't." Ace nodded, he could see that. "Yeah, they're good brothers. I don't think Luffy understood it all, but he got the jist of it." The others nodded, Shachi speaking. "I think you were brave, I hope Marco told you that." Ace nodded. "He said I did amazing." Mika nodded. "And you did. I remember when I told dad, I was so nervous, but he took it fine and asked healthy questions that we answered." Ace nodded, Sabo hadn't asked any questions, at least not yet. But he was sure it would come.
