A/N:: When someone says they like my alien designs for the characters *sobs* It's a true compliment and I hope I keep you proud for the other brothers and sisters!

Warning that goes into effect starting this chappie: Some inter-species foreplay going on *wiggles eyebrows*

Enjoy!

After thinking it over for a yule, I told them I wouldn't mind going to their family dinner as long as one of them was near me at all times. I was still a bit hesitant with what happened with Rakuyou, but knew it wasn't on purpose and didn't want to let that set me back. Marco and Sabo had made sure I was positive before mentioning it to Pops over a video chat, having him laughing boastfully and saying how he couldn't wait to see me again. It made me happy, enjoying the fact I was being included in the family, different species possibly accepting me with no issues and being able to seek more reassurance.

For now, I had other issues to worry about such as my predicament with being stuck in their nest. They had been persistent to have me linger with them and I had started to realize the way I flared in heat was starting to extend to other places of me. I just awoke with a noticeable problem, luckily laying on my stomach, but the feel of Marco and Sabo resting against me had me stuck. I tried to calm down enough and shift to squeeze my way out, but a hand gripping to my hip pulls me over. Marco drags me into his hold with cooing to my back as we are on our sides and the arm is tight to my stomach. My heart thunders, hoping he didn't notice my erection that he had somewhat bumped when getting me in place, feathers somewhat along it.

I try to calm, knowing it was either going to take telling him I needed the bathroom and hope he doesn't notice or to get myself to cool down. His leg shifts along my thigh while a talon soon grips around my thigh and knee. A shaky breath leaves me at such a predicament, the heat not wanting to fade at the fact he was pressed firm along me. I tense as I notice green mixed with honey eyes are gazing to me with pupils slit noticeably. My breath hitches, feeling something press along my erection momentarily and notice his tail flicker in the air before returning with pressure. Small trembles leave me at the sensation, hands gripping to Marco's arm as I hear cooing, lips skimming along the back of my neck.

"It's okay, Ace…" The voice trails out as Sabo had moved closer while his tail began squirming against my erection, having me give a soft whimper. "We want to help," the words come out soothingly and hands are cupping my face as I know I am flushed to my ears.

"Can we love you?" A cooing reaches my ear and I am startled with my breath hitching as I stare to Sabo after hearing Marco and was wondering if I heard right.

"Me? B-But you both…" I try to mention, the tail moving away from below, so I could think properly.

"And we want to love you too, yoi." Marco mentions while Sabo gives skimming kisses to my forehead and I feel my heart swell. The sensations and warmth I felt start to make more sense, knowing why my body reacted this way. I had wanted to be with them more and I was a little confused.

"The… the nuzzling…?" I ask softly, and Sabo is smiling when he shifts back to look to me.

"A special affection only for Marco and you." Sabo tells me while rubbing thumbs, claws skimming below my eyes, but not hurting.

The feeling stirs heavily, and I can't help that it is something of joy, wanting more of the sensations they give me. Sabo tilts his head and shifts to have lips graze mine, having me hesitantly move to press a bit more. This has him firmly press and I moan at the sensations it gives me, having to shift back as pressure is back to my arousal. The flush flares back to my cheeks at being rubbed against something so sensitive and I notice Marco going back to kissing at my neck.

"Can I satisfy you?" Sabo asks with his tail still rubbing against me, causing moans as eyelids flutter. One of my hands slowly moves to grip at his ribs, rocking hips, and he gathers that as a sign. "Tell me if I hurt you, I have not pleased a human before." The words have me flush heatedly and notice as my pants were tugged on before my leg trapped by a talon is shifting me.

My body is tilted to be exposed more, feeling the tail linger along my bare cock and it sends unknown sensations sparking through me. Besides the fact that I have never been pleasured by someone, I have never thought or had a lesson in anything like that. Everything was new to me as I arched with a moan, Sabo's hands moving from my face as one grips to my hand and the other skims claws along my side. Trembles and gasping moans are leaving me as he continues to let his tail rub before his hand begins palming at it.

"A-Aahh!" I about cried out, having Sabo pause while I feel nuzzles to my head by Marco.

"You smell good, yoi…" The whisper is in my ear with his hand moving along my chest in rubs. The palming continues as I melt against Marco and there are soft growls from Sabo, claws nipping along my skin where my treasure trail lays. I shudder at the overwhelming sensations while the hand begins to pump along my cock carefully to not hurt me and I moan with a haze in my mind. Fingers skim a nipple, having me jerk with a shaky moan, noticing as Marco shifts to do that more as if realizing a slight change.

"M-Marco, a-aah, Sabo…" I moan while noticing Sabo being attentive to my reactions, growling hastily when his name came from me. Nuzzles were pressed to my face by him, lips kissing to mine sloppily and I didn't mind as I wanted to feel him more. The hand speeds up as I had started rocking into the rhythm and I was blindsided by my rapidly building orgasm. I throw my head back, Marco seeming to shift so I could. I cry out with eyes closed and let myself cum with grips to them each. As I had, Sabo's hand pulled away and my hips had slightly rutted a few times before I laxed into the nest with shaky breaths, trying to calm myself down. Nuzzling came from them both as I make slight noises, almost like mewls, enjoying the attention.

"Mh, bath," Sabo mentions happily while Marco starts cooing in agreement as I notice him pressing through my hair with his nose nudging. "Mine," the word comes with a growl as Sabo shifts along me more and was seeming to grip to Marco as I was sandwiched firmly between them both.

"My loves," Marco coos while settling to me and the hand had moved to grip Sabo. A flush is to my cheeks with a smile, the emotions swarming being of passion and reassurance. I happily enjoyed the predicament and gave nuzzles to Sabo as I could with him, wiggling a little against Marco to show it for him as well.

-o-o-o-o-

The affection they gave me was never sparse and by the time another yule had almost passed, we were getting ready for the family dinner. They told me I wouldn't have to wear a collar as we are going straight to Pops' home and I had been relieved. Even if they saw me as a lover, it was majorly frowned upon in their society and they didn't want to risk getting me taken away because of it. In their society I was considered a possession, or pet/slave, not a being equal of them or worthy of being close to that standing. So, if it got out then I could be taken away, and that was the last thing we wanted.

"Ace, yoi…" Marco coos as we had pulled up to the humongous house, cars all parked around for the other family members.

"It's going to be okay, love." Sabo comes out with next as his chair had turned to try and soothe me. Looking to the home, it was starting to weigh on me heavily as I would be meeting more people. I wasn't a part of the interaction before, being on display a few times while being caged or chained to a spot. The multiple eyes that had been on me were looking to me as if I was nothing, but scum and I hated it.

"We will be there," I hear Marco as I notice them each gripping a hand. The worry lingering had me realize I had been shaking and I try to make it stop. A purse of my lips and a few deep breaths, I nod to them as Sabo soon gets out with a hand still holding mine. Marco lets go so he can get out on his side and Sabo helps me as I stay close to him nervously. We start up to the home, Marco coming up on the other side to show he was here and we went up to the doors. There was no knocking as Marco moves in first while I reluctantly followed in.

"The lovebirds made it!" A voice hollers out as I hear some foot falls and let my feet carry me up beside Marco. I am met with eyes that have no pupil and look like smoldering embers burning contently. "Ah?" A noise of questioning comes out as he slows his approach, having me take in more as his legs are dark like coal, flittering with glows in cracks and feet were shaped like mine, but there are no toes, like he wore shoes. He did have a loose shirt on that is short sleeved, a white color that contradicts his appearance, and reaches to where I assume is thigh level with a belt around his waist. Arms are the same dark coal and cracked glowing ember and go up to his head. When he had made the noise, his mouth shows a deep red that glows. On top of his head, though, is a dark red flame rising in a flow in one direction, though it had moved when he had been curious. "Who's this?" I presumed he grinned by the way the mouth moved, and the glowing became more apparent and brighter.

"Thatch, this is Ace." Marco mentions while this Thatch comes up with a grin and puts out his arm, flames flickering to life for a human hand shape. It startles me, shrinking behind Marco with a shocked look to the appendage and he merely laughs, giving a tremble to it like fire crackling.

"It won't burn you! Promise! Birdie would skewer me!" Thatch claims as I know for a fact he is grinning, but I still look to it uneasily.

"He's a little unsure after a run in with Rakuyou." Sabo explains, a soft growl trailing, and Marco responds with a low cooing.

"Sabo," Marco mentions lowly, and I feel a tail wrap around my waist to pull me over.

"What? It's the truth," Sabo huffs while protectively holding me and Thatch is looking back and forth with surprise.

"Run in? They haven't reacted to… oh, wait…" Thatch had started before trailing off and brought his flamed hand to his face in thought. "That's right, they ran into an old hunter buddy and brought a lot to their mind."

"I'm not mad at them…" Sabo clarifies while the tail tightens, and he crosses arms. "Just a little testy about it…" The mumble follows, and I stare up to him before he flickers eyes to me. Staring for a few more seconds, I soon smile, and he shifts with his lips pursing to not smile, but he gives while moving to nuzzle me. A chuckle leaves me while returning it and I hear a crackling noise.

"Oh, a trio of lovebirds!" Thatch claims and has me stiffen, but Sabo gives soft growls of reassurance.

"Lovebirds?!" Someone hollers before rounding the corner from the hallway and I am stunned at the sight.

They… There is…

"Ah! No way!" The cheer comes out while they come running up and Marco is sure to slow them down.

"Calm down, Haruta." Marco starts up as I stare in surprise and notice as a beaming grin is towards me.

"This is so cool! I have a buddy!" A cheer leaves Haruta before they evade Marco's wing and comes up closer with sparkling blue eyes. "I'm Haruta!" They introduce themselves and by the clothing I am not sure if they are male or female, the voice border lining.

"Ace," I mention back as hands are out and I shift slightly, the tail relaxing around me. My hands move to have the other pair grab them and I am pulled in for a hug by another human.

"Of course she would be the most excited!" Thatch laughs out while Haruta pulls back to beam down to me as she is a few inches taller. Hands are tugging mine and there is a slight drag as she moves along, the tail gone when I was hugged.

"Come on! Izou is going to be excited, too! Jozu can tote both of us around as he loves humans and Vista is going to do his 'fancy' introduction!" She is shooting off with more names tumbling out as I feel myself tensing at the realization of so much waiting and start sputtering lightly.

"W-wait, j-just wait…!" I try to say in her rambles before Marco is holding around me, getting Haruta to let go as I shrink to a chest behind me. Blue eyes are looking to me in confusion, Haruta tilting her head and I try to calm my racing heart.

"Just wait a minute, Haruta. Ace isn't used to being around a lot at once that have good reactions, yoi." Marco comments while arms move his wings to embrace me and the confusion showing on Haruta has me feel mixed emotions. Either she has never been mistreated or she had adjusted to not having to worry about that—I was hoping for the former.

"Come on, Haruta. They will join us soon enough." Thatch starts out while walking to her and this soft whine leaves her while walking close with him.

"Fi~ne!" She agrees before going off about something while they leave the room and I can relax fully. Sabo is there with soft growls and is ready to nuzzle me into oblivion if necessary.

"Haruta is…" Marco begins and pauses as to rethink his words. "Well, Pops found her before anyone else could and she had been eighteen already at the time." Marco explains to me, having me understand on her reaction.

"I'm glad then…" I mention lightly as I really was. The fact she never had to go through what I have brings comfort, thinking on how she didn't have to face such cruel interactions.

"Are you going to be okay, Ace?" Sabo asks in worry and I purse lips while looking down, trying to calm my racing heart. "I can take you home, it's not a big deal…" Sabo tries to explain, and I cringe lightly as I feel like I should be able to do this no matter what because I knew they wanted me to.

"The fact that you made it this far," Marco starts while nuzzling the top of my head in comfort, "is incredible. You have made such progress but doesn't mean to push yourself. We want you to be comfortable, yoi." The comforting words have me shake lightly as I press into his chest and try to ignore the overwhelming pressure on me.

"But I told your Pops…" I try to say and feel a grip around my leg and hear soft growling.

"Pops would understand," Sabo mentions while being let in the hold to press to me for comfort. "We can even bring him in here, so he can see you, but you don't have to stay." The words bring so much comfort and I try to keep my breathing calmed.

"Do you want that, Ace? I will go get him, yoi." Marco starts up and I tremble lightly before nodding stiffly with soft whines.

"I'm sorry…" I whisper as I really thought I was ready, but as Haruta began labelling more people is when it was really getting to me again. There was this sharp reality and I couldn't bring myself back down from the grating fear. Before I would have been forced to enter a room like that and be ready for anything by no choice, but Marco and Sabo were letting me decide. It brings a whole new factor into play that I could decide to do this or not and all what I have experienced is rearing its head. I'm not saying it will happen here, but the fear is overwhelming, and I felt panicked.

"There is nothing to be sorry about, Ace. We want you happy and comfortable…" Marco mentions while shifting to litter my head with kisses, trailing to my forehead as he pulls back. Blue-grey eyes find me as he smiles in reassurance, cupping my face. "Let me go get Pops, okay?" I stiffly nod with pursed lips and he gives a nuzzle to my cheek before moving towards the hall. Sabo moves his tail to wrap around my waist and lets me turn so I can be held against him.

"It's alright, love." Sabo mentions in a coax, giving his soft growls, and I press into him firmly to seek the comfort. After only a few minutes, Marco is back as I can see him and Pops steps in after with a worried gaze.

"Are you alright, son?" The tone has me purse lips and feeling guilty, but he doesn't look upset. Instead, he moves over and gets down to kneel near us with a tilt of his head. "You do not need to stay, my boy. I am happy you tried to get this far, but don't push anymore if you don't want to. There is plenty of time for you to meet everyone, maybe in smaller numbers at separate times?" A smile lingers on him, having me grateful for him being so understanding and I grip to Sabo with a stiff nod.

"S-Sorry…" I mention to Pops and he laughs lightly while reaching to rub to my upper back. It has me relax while he keeps a reassuring gaze and smiles.

"No need to apologize, son. You did good." The compliment hurts as it doesn't feel like I did good, but it feels nice to hear that from him. My hands grip to Sabo as I feel eyes stinging and I tremble lightly. "You did good, son. There is plenty of time to try, there is no rush." A nod leaves me to show I understand and try not to cry from how much he showed a fondness to me.

"Th-thank you, Pops." I tell him with misty eyes and he smiles while moving his hand to pet the back of my head and upper back.

"You did good, go home and rest."
