SO, my fanfic account is messed up in more then one way. I'm trying to get it fixed without having a panic attack. This is one half of the chapter I have been trying to post for a while now. If you have read it, congrats. Some can't see it so I decided to cut it and see how that works out.

/====================================================================/

It gets hard to stand

It's been four days since Yamato and Red's fight. A few things have changed. One, Red is doing better. She is in the nursing center, getting thorough treatment from Law. Kid is also experiencing the same hell. Killer and Koala have volunteered to 'help' the young surgeon as well.

Since Shanks relaxed, he's been sharing stories with Whitebeard about Red's childhood. Everyone is feeling different, lighter, and happier. Yamato, Kiku, and Tama are staying for a few more days. They want to talk to Red once she is better.

Though, Red doesn't think she will ever get better at this rate. "Dammit Law! Let me go!" The redhead growled, pulling out of the brunette's arms.

The tattooed man kept his grip, "no! You need to sleep! You haven't slept in weeks!" Red's coma doesn't count as sleep, meaning she has not slept in over three weeks. Plus if you add in the fact Impel down doesn't have the best sleeping conditions… she hasn't slept in a month. The woman passed exhaustion a long time ago.

Kid sat on the other side of the room next to Killer. The male twin has no problem with sleeping for days. He and Red had a long, emotional, and exhausting talk yesterday. Kid has to admit, he won't be the same without his brother. He got his dreams from his older brother. He loved him as much as Red and Nako did. But he knows Dagger would rather Kid complete his dreams then be held back by grief.

"Let me go! I'm not tired!" The redhead flared out of his arms and fell to the ground. "Fine, you can leave the nursing center. But you have to go wherever I tell you." The sinister tone Law used made the redhead gulp with her nod.

When the two walked to the other room, Red froze when she saw the door. "Wa-ait! Wh-y here!?" Red asked with her tail twitching behind her. She looked down at what she was wearing and looked back at the door. Her teeth attached to her lip from the thought. Izo came by a few hours ago. The man gave the redhead an hour-long lecture. To make him stop, Red agreed to wear whatever he wants for the next week. She is now regretting that bet.

Law knocked on the door before speaking, "you're staying in here till tomorrow. I expect you to be well rested." He hummed when he looked at my outfit, "or maybe you'll be up all night."

Red pov

My exposed knees buckled from Law's comment. My hands tugged at the slightly puffy mini skirt Izo pressed onto me. It was black and way too short for my liking. It showed off the two tattoos on my pale thighs. My arms were covered by the baggy sleeves of my crimson zip up hoodie. The top ended at my mid stomach while the hood caught some of my locks. My hair was down like usual, Izo said it went 'perfect' with the look. I swear, I am only a doll to that pretty man.

Even though it's been four days, there is one person I haven't seen at all… well until right now. The door creaked as a head popped out. Half lid blue eyes looked at Law before stopping at me. His slight glare made my heart stop. "H-i Mar-"

A hand grabbed mine, and before I knew it, I was pulled into his room. Wood of the door caught my back, my breathing escalated from the sudden change. His eyes looked down on me, showing how tall he was. My knees compressed tighter from his scent.

Twitches flooded my nose, along with my horns and tail. Has his smell gotten better? That can't be… how is that even possible!?

"Red." He said in a small growl. My breathing hitched as my heart flipped, "y-es Mar-co?" Keep it together brain! You survived a war, you fought the daughter of an emperor, you are a fucking daughter of an emperor! Why do you get so shaken up by one sexy pineapple!

He said nothing, only leaned closer to my already trembling body. That is when I realized the man had no shirt on. His muscular chest pressed into my face as his head rested on my shoulder. The action made my nose flare, along with my crimson face. One of his hands pressed onto the wall, blocking me from escaping. While the other moved my hair out of his face.

Marco nuzzled close to my soft skin, not saying anything, and feeling me shake. What is he doing? Does he know what he is doing?! Does he know what he is doing to me by smothering me against his chest like this!? Like I don't already struggle to not lick it!

A whimper escaped me when I felt teeth bite into my pale flesh. It felt good, but weird at the same time… not weird… but different. "You aren't leaving here till the morning, yoi. And when all this clears, you'll be in my room for three straight days."

A lump of anticipation formed in my throat, "Marco, m-y legs ca-n't hold for much longer." My exhaustion finally took effect and of course it was happening when I'm all… I don't even know! All I know is that I want it to continue! Arms wrapped around my waist and hoisted me up. My hands gripped onto his back as he laid my waist on his shoulder.

The position made me chew on my lip, "I don't want a face full of your ass, pineapple." I tried to keep my eyes away from the temptation while speaking. He looked down at me with a hum, "well then, why don't we flip you over, yoi." I yelped when my body slammed onto the king-sized bed.

Crisp sheets touched my skin, almost making me melt. All it smelled like Marco, the best smell I could ask for. "I'm sorry, yoi." The blonde muttered as he fell onto the bed as well. My blood colored eyes crept up to look at him. He held a somber expression, filled with grief and pain. Ace and Thatch told me about what happened to Marco while I was in a coma. I can't believe I put him in so much pain.

My hands grabbed at his face to make him look at me. Stubble rubbed against my thumb as I caressed his cheeks. My flaring crimson orbs met with his glowing blue ones, "It isn't your fault. My brother…" A small crack formed in my throat. I have done a lot of thinking about my older brother. Though, I have not gotten over his death, nor will I for a long time. I know what he would have wanted. I met them, his kids and wife. They are on the territory as well.

They told me everything, which made me cry. He had a family, yet sacrificed it all for me. "My brother loved me, he did it to save me. Kid would have done it for me, I would have done it for him. Ace would do it for Luffy, I would do it for Ace. You… you would do it for me… and I would do it for you. Marco… please don't hurt… I-I mean… I love you… so please don't leave me!-" Lips cut me off. A tongue pushed past my already parted lips and exposed my warm mouth. My eyes squeezed shut from the pleasure, and before I knew it, I was panting with flushed cheeks.

"I will never leave you Red, yoi! Never. I love you too, so much." He said before claiming my lips again. This time was slower than before. My hands pushed on his chest until I was on top of him. When we parted, our eyes locked on each other. My knees tightened around his waist from the look in his glowing blue orbs. "Marco… I... " My teeth began to chew on my lip again, keeping my eyes on him.

One of his hands came to my exposed side and caressed it. His touch made my body grow hotter. "Red, get some sleep ok, yoi?" My hand gripped at his chest as I shook my head. "No, I want…"

"What Red?" His hand trailed further up my body. A smirk grew on the blonde's face, and before I knew it, his hand was on my tail. A shiver struck through my whole frame, "y-you evil pin-eapple!" I said breathlessly, my tail twitching from his intoxicating touch.

He let go of my tail and chuckled, "soon enough I'll find out everything that makes you tick, yoi. But not today. How about we get some sleep? We can walk around the ship and territory tomorrow." A pout formed on my puffed-out cheeks. "Stupid dominatrix."

"What was that, yoi?" My breathing hitched when his hand trailed down my sensitive back. He pulled me closer until my face was against his chest, taking in more of his sweet scent. My back arched when his hand went back onto my tail. Small moans left me when my skirt retreated.

His mouth was placed by my ear, nibbling, and biting at it. "You know, I finally see what is so fun about this, yoi." He muttered, letting go of my tail to squeeze my ass. My frame flared from the sensations packing into my body. My back kept aching for his touch and my hands trailed to his face. "Ki-ss." I moaned, moving my head up to meet his eyes. When our eyes locked again, I saw something click inside my lover. Before I could figure out what, one of his hands started to rub at my horns.

Louder moans caught in my throat, "now I see why you didn't want me to touch them, yoi." He let go of my horns and kissed my temple. "I'll play with you more tomorrow, yoi. Right now I want to lay with you." A small snort came from me as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

My tail landed on his thigh and my head rested on his shoulder. He pulled the covers over us and watched my eyes become heavy until I fell asleep.

Something poking me made my body shudder. It was right on my exposed thigh. I tried pressing my leg against it, when I did, I heard soft groans come from under me. Wait! My eyes snapped open and my head turned. Marco's brows were scrunched as his dream played in his mind.

Judging from the bulge underneath me, it must have been a good dream. As a test, I pressed my leg against it again. A small noise came from Marco, "Red." At least I know it is about me. A small smile attached to my lips, before a smirk.

With care, my body slid down under the covers he placed on me. When I saw the bulge in his baggy black pants, I gulped. What should I do now? I have never done this shit before! Isn't he supposed to be awake for this? He'll wake up soon enough. Maybe I shouldn't? Ugh! While I kept contemplating, Marco kept groaning in his sleep. Soon enough, his sounds broke me. With a shaky hand, I started to unzip his pants. My eyes adjusted to the blue boxers and the bulge peeking through them. I gulped once again. Isn't this rape? No… I hope not!

I can do this. It's not like I don't want to, but I'm scared that if I do it wrong, it'll affect our relationship. Plus, I don't want to do it wrong. With a deep breath, I pulled at the last piece of clothing keeping it pressed. When I removed the clothing, it sprung free. Shining in all its hard glory was Marco's cock. The sight made me gulp for the third time. I had the urge to get a ruler and measure it but decided against it. I don't need it to tell me it was big, yeah, there is no way that can fit inside of me.

My head snapped up from the louder noises coming from Marco. The sounds made more of a burning sensation reside within me. The organ kept twitching in front of me, begging to be touched in some way. My head moved up until I was right above it. My lips laid a kiss on the tip, letting my crimson orbs take in the reaction. "Red." The blonde groaned again.

With my hair pulled back, I leaned my head down to take in some of the erection. The reaction I got was pleasing. The blonde buckled his hips in his sleep and started to speak more in his sleep. "Red, more." I have to admit, it doesn't taste as weird as I thought it would. My head rose up and down, taking more of the length each time.

The man kept shifting to feel more of me, when suddenly, his hand found my hair. He pushed my head down with one of his hands, while his head jerked from the feeling. The tip pressed against the back of my throat, making me gag. His fingers dug through my locks as I tried to adjust to his whole size. "Move." He growled.

Wow, Mr. Bossy pants I see. I'm giving you a blow job, yet I get bossed around. With an eye roll, I continued. His hand kept pushing me down each time I reached the top, soon enough, sticky liquid piled in my throat. I struggled to swallow it all since I wasn't used to it.

"Re-d, yoi?!" My head peaked out from the covers to look at his face. His chest was rising and falling as I went to straddle it. His flushed face made me smirk. He looked dazed yet shocked. Sweat damped his forehead and his chest, I can feel it on my thigh. "Yes." I asked with the tilt of my chin. Blue orbs focused on the drop of cum dripping from the side of my mouth.

His thumb came up to wipe off the liquid on my face. He froze when he felt my lips close around his finger. My tongue glazed against this skin to take back the liquid. I let go with a line of spit connected to my mouth and his finger. "Marco, did you enjoy it?" My arms wrapped around his neck to bring his head closer to me. I watched as his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, signaling a gulp. "Don't do it again, yoi." He muttered.

Our faces stopped inches apart, I watched to take in his flushed face one last time. "Did you not enjoy it?" I asked with a slight pout. Marco shook his head, "as you can see, I did, but I was asleep. Why didn't you wake me, yoi?" He asked with a tinge of annoyance.

A giggle pushed past my lips. My hips buckled against his abdomen, "well, you'll have to wait till next time." A smirk graced my lover's lips before he let them claim mine. My hips buckled again, it looks like that blow job affected me too. "You seem needy." He commented. His hand rubbed against my inner thigh before trailing up my skirt. His other went down my back to my tail. "Ma-rco! Stop with my tail!" I whimpered.

Marco snickered and pulled at my pantie line, "I'm going to explore all your body, yoi." His tongue pushed past my lips to explore my warm mouth. My eyes squeezed shut as he gained more dominance on my body. My skin shivered in anticipation. I parted when his fingers rubbed against the bottom of my underwear. My hips shifted against his fingers to feel them better, but before I could, he took his fingers away. "We can do the rest later, you have things to do today remember, yoi."

My crimson eyes flared at him. "No way-" my voice broke off into moans when his fingers pressed against my damp panties. "You're eager, yoi." I chewed on my lip from his words, trying to hold back more moans. Which he didn't like. The blonde pressed against me harder and started to move his fingers in a circular motion. It made my whole body quiver. "If you beg, I might continue."

"N-o way!" Marco smiled at my answer. He pushed forward until I was under him. His torso leaned over me, taking in every detail about my quivering body. "We better get going, there will be breakfast soon, yoi." He chuckled. His hand pressed against me again, earning a loud moan in response. After that, he hopped of the bed like the devil he is and started to get dressed. His lower half was still exposed. My hands covered my eyes as he started to change. "You gave me a blow job in my sleep and now you're embarrassed, yoi?"

"Tha-t is different." I tried to reason. Lips tapped against my forehead before he resumed his changing.

When he finished, he scanned my body. "You might need to change too, unless you want to walk around with your panties like that." He pointed to the wet spot forming on them.

"Sh-ut up Pineapple head! Let's go to my room already."

Both of us walked through the empty halls until we got to my room. Everyone is at breakfast and I have to admit, sleeping made me feel a lot better. Wait, that's not it. Sleeping with Marco made me feel better. The pineapple head waited outside my room as I changed. When I came back out, I had my normal jumpsuit and bikini top. "Didn't you make a bet with Izo, yoi?"

"Yeah, he'll make me change later." I waved off. Marco chuckled and walked with me to the mess hall.

It was awkward for a little, my hand kept knocking into his as I pondered on taking it. Soon enough, I did, which was a good choice. When we came to the door, I let out a deep breath before opening it.

All eyes traveled to me. Some were shocked I came, some were smiling, but after a couple of moments, all them were cheering. "YOU'RE BACK RED!" They all yelled. In no time, I was bombarded with people.

I gripped Marco's hand out of nervousness. His fingers rubbed against my knuckles as I spoke. "I swear I'm feeling better. Are all you guys healed up… you know… from the war?" I bit my lips from the question. I hope they didn't suffer that much.

Juzo let out a sigh, "yes Red, we are fine. The only one that wasn't was you. How are you feeling?" Instead of saying I was fine, I told them how I was truly feeling. They all watched me fight with Yamato, then break down with my family. None were surprised when I said I wasn't fully healed. "That is understandable, we hope you get better Red." Haruta said, bringing me into a hug.

Foosha and the rest nodded, "by the way. Yamato, Kiku, Tama, Izo, and the rest of your large family are over there." My eyes traveled to the back. There sat the Red Haired pirates, ASL, Whitebeard, Izo, Thatch, Koala, Killer, and my family.

"Thank you guys, I swear I'll talk to you later." I gave a wave to them before walking over to the group. Yamato was the first to notice, "you're awake? This early? Isn't that surprising." She said in a scoff with a small smile. Yamato has been catching up with Ace for the last few days. She and Tama met the man a long time ago.

Tama's eyes adjusted to the hand I was holding, "is that your boyfriend Red?" I felt a shift in the air. My father stiffened from the mention of boyfriends. I let Marco's hand go and waved mine up as a defense. "Le-ya eat, right Marco?" My head turned and saw my lover sprouting a pout on his full lips. His hand tugged on mine again, "sure, yoi." He said, once our hands linked.

Izo smiled at us before his eyes drifted down my clothing, before he could say anything, someone else did. "Why are you wearing that?" Makino asked with pursed lips. I took a seat next to Kid with Marco following. Nako sat on the other side of me and started to chuckle. "Probably to seduce the first commander."

Kid hummed in agreement, "you should see them together, Red is always so clingy." I'm the clingy one?! My hand smacked the back of my brothers' heads. "Shut up and go attach yourself to Killer Kid! Nako, go fuck yourself."

Kid choked on his food from the comment, "Why Killer out of all people!?"

"Hey, why am I the only one that gets cursed at? Fuck both of you!" Nako said with a small whine and huff. The youngest flicked me in the head, making me growl at the two of them. A hand came raining down on the three of us, "don't shout, we are eating. I taught you better then that." Our mother hissed.

All three of us rubbed the bump on our heads with a whine. "That fucking hurt mom." Kid grunted, earning another smack. "DON'T CURSE AT ME EUSTASS KID!" My hand pressed down on Kid's and Nako's heads, "we are sorry. We do miss you though, mom." I muttered.

Our mother wrapped us into a tight hug, "I missed you guys too, my babies are all grown up. I even have grandbabies." Mom began to cry a little from the thought. I knew she missed us. Nako doesn't live with her all the time, he travels a lot but makes sure to visit her. Me and Kid left a long time ago… this is the first time I have visited her since then. My hands released my pressure from Kid and Nako's head as I went into deep thought.

I haven't been fair to any of my family members. A lump of guilt formed in my pale throat as I thought back to the war… Dagger. "Red, we were thinking of burying him here." Shanks's voice cut through. I could tell my brothers glared at my father for bringing it up.

Dagger being buried. Technically, it has been a month since he died. Yet, I'm still holding on to him. "I don't want him buried at some random place." I responded, trying to keep my emotions under control. My hands were gripping the clothing on my thigh and my teeth were wired shut.

"We aren't at some random place; I'm surprised you didn't smell it. Since the war, we have been traveling home." Kid stated in a somber tone. My body jerked up from the mention of my home. I must have not noticed because I have been so distracted.

My legs moved before my brain could, taking me outside to the top deck. That is when I saw it, the most important place in the world to me. My home. My family's home. Dagger's home.
