I'm back people! Gosh, how I hate first days in highschool. You need to introduce yourself to your new classmates all over again, and again, and again... Lol.

Honestly, I was nervous... But yeah, I gotta introduce *shrugs* About the first draft, I was thinking about putting stress on Ace's narcolepsy, But I had realizeAfter searching numerous things about it from the webThat the One Piece narcolepsy doesn't have things like that. And would only cause me trouble because I don't know anything about it except from the things I had search... I'm never the one who does things correctly just be glimpsing on something... Heck, I messed up my other fic (Valentine in my other account.) So I decided on sticking into the plot and to the way I designed Ace on my mind

Oh and another note: I AM NOT SURE ABOUT MAKING THIS YAOI SO... err... yeah

Anyway, let's get into it


Waking up bleary eyed, Ace forced himself up from his king size bed. Stretching his muscles, he looked at the calendar beside his desk.

It was Sunday and Luffy is still probably with his friends. Sabo is probably still tutoring people in a camp Ace forgot where—Or even know its name. He was left here because... Why was he here again? Oh right, his friends had been an ass to him when he asked them if he could stay at their house for the weekend.

Then he remembered.

Damn, what a way to ruin his morning.

A scowl formed at his face. He rose from the bed, and tossed the bed sheets at the floor—He'll just clean those up later.

Grumpily he went down the stairs and to the kitchen where he smelled a freshly brewed coffee and morning newspapers.

And as his nose never lies when it comes to food, he did saw those things at the kitchen, where his lovely guest—caretaker— is sitting relaxed while reading a new newspaper and in front of him is a freshly brewed coffee.

His eye twitching he asked, "Who the hell did gave you permission to use my things? And how the hell did you opened the fridge?" With a low growl he glared at the man.

Like he hadn't noticed his glare, he just continued on reading the newspaper, cross-legged and answered. "It wasn't locked" Ignoring his first question Marco continued on reading the morning news paper.

Ace huffed and went to the fridge to cook for himself, since the annoying bastard hadn't cooked for him—and even if he would, he wouldn't eat it— he picked up eggs and bacon. His eyes never leaving the other man while he walk across the kitchen to get the frying pan.

Marco was browsing the newspaper. He doesn't really got much time after business, he usually go to a relaxing place where there's no one and try to have some sleep. He can't really sleep much in a normal flat, something about open space and fresh air makes his insomnia go away. He guess it only developed when he woke up in the city with nothing—And playing both sides of justice and crime as a hitman wasn't exactly easy. From time to time someone would visit or if your a big shot and is too busy to visit, he'll be the one to travel.

The spy operation has it's perks—that he couldn't say he doesn't enjoy— Like having a free place to stay, food and entertainment. But guessing by the boy's attitude, he wouldn't have the operation easy. But killing him instantly would just be easier than this operation... But he wouldn't get the money and he'd have the cops chasing after him... Eh not worth it and he needs the money.

Sipping to his coffee. Marco looked at the raven, struggling with the stove. He snorted, who burns himself without doing anything?

Ace groaned, why does the stove loves burning him? No erase that—Why does everything around him gets burn when he's holding a match or a candle when he's not even making a move? Does fire has a secret hatred on him? Then the distinct smell of his new guest had him pulled away from the stove. He glared at the man.

"What?, I'm trying to help here" The blond said with a lazy smirk, holding his hands high slightly.

Ace scowled at him. "I don't need your help"

"Sure." He said. And backed away slightly.

Boom

Then the fire flared up, burning the raven slightly. The blond grinned.

"So... You can handle it, ey?"

Glaring at the blond, he snapped. "Shut up."


They hadn't done anything but just to lay around. Heck the blond isn't even doing the cleaning... He's the caretaker of the whole household right?—Including him and his brothers but he isn't going to say that out loud, sure Luffy could use some help but no one could keep on Luffy just them who knows him—Ok, they still got trouble on keeping up with Lu'... But they still can. Ace bet the annoying bastard will quit when he meets Luffy, just imagine his face when he—

"ACE!" Turning automaticaly—He knew he shouldn't have done that— He was tackled to a bear hug and fell on the tiled floor. Limbs were wrapped around his body tightly so struggling would be hard.

Groaning, I popped an eye open. Only to see black mess of hair.

"Lu' will you get off?!" Ace shouted at his brother's ear as he broke free from his brother's iron grip and Lu' fell at the ground laughing at Ace's reaction with his usual "Shishishi" laugh

Ace's eyebrow twitched, but sighed eventually. Well he did missed his brother even if it only was 4 days that they didn't see eachother. Then his eyes turned to their "Caretaker" just as he remember his presence. Like he just hadn't heard anything, didn't even bothered to look up from the book he just randomly picked up at a shelf that Ace don't usually touch—The thick screen of dust there was the evidence, It was irking and he just wish he could just kick the man out. But he would be suffering from guilt if he do that.

"MEAT!" The younger raven shouted while rummaging the empty fridge, well almost if you include the coffee beans from the marines—He'd never try that—and other icky stuff that only the shitty geezer touches. He had tried the coffee from the Marines, and it wasn't anywhere close to heavenly taste. It was farther than that.

"Ace~ Where's the meat~" Luffy said while poking Ace's cheeks, which Ace ignored. Now that Ace think of it, the only coffee there was the coffee beans from the Marines. So the bastard drank it? Yuck even thinking about it made him grimace.

"ACE!" Luffy shouted in Ace's ear, startling the older raven from his thoughts. Ace hit Luffy's head. "WILL YOU STOP THAT?!"

As if he didn't heard anything, he started picking his nose while staring somewhere that Ace couldn't turn his head to. "Neh... Ace, who's that?"

Ace made a comical drop, he should've expected that. "DUMBASS, YOU JUST NOTICED?!"

"Shishishi"

Sighing, the older raven rose from his feet and explained while glaring at the blond who just yawned and stretched his arms as if not noticing his glares that could burn holes.

"He says that he's our caretaker" Ace said, he made it sure that his voice sounded disbelief and it would be most obvious.

"Oh."

"Neh, Ace... What's a caretaker?"

Ace just slapped a hand at his face. "...Idiot"


They had to do groceries with the bastard because he couldn't be sure if the bastard would take away their stuff, nor be sure that he wouldn't poison them with the food he'll buy. Luffy? He's out of the question.

With a scowl, Ace sighed for the umpteenth time at his brother's antics. He couldn't leave Luffy alone because... Ah. Someone was hunting them. While he's perfectly fine with Luffy while he was with his friends, they're strong and capable of protecting each other. While Sabo could manage even when he's alone. Ace snickered at the thought of Sabo having a headache because of the camp he's teaching in, the thing he's teaching wasn't exactly easy. Heck even Sabo had troubles with the problems, and he has to teach it too.

Ace stopped when he saw the blond at the corner of his eye, he was checking some liquor. So the guy drinks too? Eh, whatever. He don't really care. With an annoyed tone he called the blond, "Oi! Aren't you gonna help us?"

"Hmm? What. Are you finally asking for help, yoi?" The blond said, turning around from the display of fancy wines. Ace rolled his eyes with a scowl. "No. I'm just saying that you should do your job, bastard"

"So you're finally believing me?"

"No. I'd only believe you if the old man will show up"

"Then why are you letting me in your house if you're still not believing me" The blond said with an amused expression.

"I know I should've kicked you out earlier" Ace muttered. "You're lucky that I'm showing you mercy, bastard. Be thankful that I'm not tearing your bones one by one"

The blond raised an eyebrow, the amused expression not leaving his face. Ace kept his scowl and glare at the blond

"You really think I couldn't do that—" Then there was a crash.

"Dammit Luffy! I said not to touch that!"

And the raven left.

The blond wondered. What was it exactly that they find threatening of this boy? They wouldn't send someone of his caliber if they didn't think the raven was weak, they wouldn't bother to send someone.


Ugh. A lot of things happened this week. Some sucked. Some were fun. The fun part was just lately. The part that sucked was in Wednesday. I didn't know what was happening with me. I just feel dread, anxiety, frustration and sadness mixed together and even without I reason, I wanted to cry. Maybe I'm just emotional. But yeah, I don't know what happened to me.

Anyway, please leave a review. I appreciate it.

Oh and is anyone at the crowd okay for betaing this story? My head is mixed up when writing at night

Word count: 1, 811 (Still not 2,000. Can't think of any fillers. Any idea for the fillers? You know some non-yaoi. Just for temporary because I'm not sure if I should turn this to one.)
