Friday…tomorrow would be the day they would see each other again… Ace wondered if she was as excited about the two of them meeting as he was… this woman kept him up at night. He couldn't concentrate during work, and by the time he got home then he had been yelled at by his boss so much that he didn't think he would ever get his voice back…
Anyway now was Friday morning and ace was sitting in a nice and comfortable lazy-boy (originally own by Marco, but at the moment he didn't give a crap about it) he just stare out the window of the house and waited for the sun to come up. He had woken up at six in the morning and he couldn't fall back asleep… he was sure to drop dead into his breakfast anytime soon, but strangely enough he wasn't hungry at the moment… he looked at the sun that was peaking up by the hurrizing. It was finally morning. He wondered if Thatch and Izo would go out jogging soon, they always went out right after seven before anyone woke up.
"Ace?" Marco came in sounding sleepily.
"Hmm…?"
"Why are you awake?"
"Mmh… I can't sleep…"
"Well don't worry ill slap you hard when you fall asleep in your breakfast."
"Uuhu…" Ace nodded and kept staring into the sunrise.
"Are you ok?" Marco walked over to him and placed his hand on his forehead… "Maybe you should go outside for some fresh air… or back to bed you look?" he said and tried to feel of he was any hotter than usual… he usual body heat was way above the average body heat. But he didn't really feel any hotter than normal… Marco shook his head and wondered what was wrong now. He went to the kitchen and started making coffee…
"When did you get up?"
"Around… six thirty…"
"Hmm then you didn't catch where Thatch and Izo went…"
"No I thought they were still asleep"
"They must have left reeeeealy early this morning… I wonder how they do it…."
Ace didn't answer… he felt like dreaming for a second… he heard Marco keep talking and he also smelled coffee… he thought about her for a second… where would she want to go? Where should he take her, somewhere she didn't plan to go… and perhaps take her drinking afterwards… wait what?! No, no drinking… stupid brain. He wouldn't want ether of them to be drunk… or did he? What would she be like drunk? Was that inappropriate thinking…? 'What's wrong with me?' He thought and closed his eyes. He felt even embarrassed for having thought about it…
"ACE?!" he heard Haruta shout right by his hear. He snapped out of his state of thought and looked over to him. He was wearing Vistas shirt, which was more like a dress on him. Even if it was really small of Vista then he was pretty large with broad shoulders and a wide chest, the brown shirt hung over one shoulder and went a little bit down his thighs…
"Aren't you hungry?" Haruta asked with a slight smirk over his lips. The brunette seriously thought that he was still sleeping when Ace said that he wasn't hungry
"Haha! Your funny… you wise ass! Don't scare me like this…"
"Naah, you just start without me…"
"….Marco!" Haruta creamed at the top of his lungs and ran over to the kitchen… "I think that Ace is sick or something!" he screamed even higher… and dragged Marco out of the kitchen, almost spilling his coffee at the same time…Marco asked what the hell this was about and stated that Ace was not sick. Then Haruta pulled Marco down and whispered something in his ear…
"No Ace is not gonna die…" he raised himself up and shook Haruta off his hand. "You go have breakfast and try not to think about it… I knew he would be full eventually…" he said sarcastically and walked over to the table. With Ace's endless appetite that would only be described as a black-hole in space. Still Marco thought that that he would act like that now was a bit strange…
Well anyway… time past and Marco presided to read the newspaper. After a while then Izo and Thatch came back from the jog. Izo went straight into the shower and thatch went and got coffee for himself.
After a moment the three of them Thatch, Marco and Haruta were all sitting at the dining room table and all were waiting for Ace to snap out of it and come eat half the refrigerator… but he didn't. He just sat there and stared at the sunrise through the window…
"I think he's sick…" Thatch stated and looked suspiciously at the two of them.
"I think he just needs more sleep" Marco said and "he always needs more sleep. If he won't fall asleep into his dinner tonight…
"I think he's just brain dead… I knew he wasn't that entire bight in the first place but now I'm sure that it just gave up on him" Haruta decided and smiled proudly.
"Your all wrong you dick heads…" Izo came walking out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his chest like a woman and was drying his long black hair with a another towel… that man acting like woman walked straight up to Ace and roughly knocked on his head
"Ouch! What the hell!?" Ace shouted out and rubbed the large bump on his head.
"Look me in the eye and tell me why you are so happy." He asked Ace with a smirk on his face.
"i-I'm not happy…"
"Oh please. You look like you crawled out of the sunrise…"
"Well i…I'm going to meet someone tomorrow" Ace admitted and pouted a bit. Then he suddenly stood up from the chair and walked over to the breakfast table. some bacon and cheese on a couple of dozen crackers and then some all of the grapes, and then some milk and orange juice… then he stated 'thank you for the food' and walked over to his room…and that was that…
"Hohoho~" Izo laughed a little and cruised over to the table "Well his problem is weary simple… he's in love…"
"Love?" the three of them asked at the same time… Haruta had been putting a spoon full of cereal into his mouth but he dropped the content of his mouth on his lap instead…
"Love!?" thatch asked louder and slammed his coffee cup on the table... "Ace? In love? W-with a girl? Pppppft… nonono… haha…" he stopped to burst out laughing like a psycho… more members of the house came walking from there nightly slumber and wondered what the hell was going on
"The poor guy" Marco stated and sipped on his coffee…
"How can you tell?"
"Oh please… you take a good look at him. It's crystal clear…"
"How?"
"Haha, lights are on, the door is open… but there is no one home…"
"Please talk human…"
"Oh you'll see you idiots…"
"Um… what's going on?" some of the members asked each other… completely oblivious to what the hell was happening…
XxxxX
Back in the deeper parts of the red line… in the dark morning shadows between the large abandoned houses. Three characters were moving swiftly between the shadows. Gun shots and loud crash's were regularly with them running there… clearly there had been a long and tiring fight, judging by the building that had just crashed into the ground. Up on a roof close by then a long nosed boy was waiting holding a large sniper rifle pointing it with extreme precision. But even if he looked like a total pro doing this then his knees were shaking like hell…over by the corner of the building then a girl was waiting for the arrival of her treasure…
Luffy jumped In between the shadows with catlike movements… and he held a bag stuffed full of something on his shoulders. While right behind him Sanji ran smoothly and dodged each bullet that came fast and furious. He had a sly smile on his face, they wouldn't hit him he was to flexible to get hit. No one had hit him even close he dodged every single one of them easily… right behind him was Zoro fighting of the stupid clowns that were on their heels…
Buggy the clown was a 'small time' crime-lord in the depts. of the red line… 'Small time' meaning that he was no problem to beat the problem was running away… Luffy had decided on the bizarre plan to rod him and run… meaning to ditch him and then laugh… but the buggy gang were tough like a leach you're trying to get of your skin… Zoro was waiting for the order when Luffy would decide on to stop all this stupid plan and just start kicking there asses…
"Luffy?!" Sanji shouted at their captain in the front…" when are we going to stop this idiocy and get this over with!?" he screamed at him and nearly kicked his head out of frustration…
"Were going further!" he replied loudly and ran past the corner of the house… where Nami was waiting ad snatched the corner of the bag. She then slammed it over her shoulder and ran the other direction. Then over by the roof top then Usopp was getting ready for his moment… when Zoro would let the morning run reflect on his swords then he was to shoot down anything moving…
"Now we can kick there asses!" Luffy turned around quickly and got ready for the fight. He had been sure to give the sack of jewels to Nami before he would blow it up…he jumped forth and landed a hard blow on one there faces… Buggy screamed with frustration
"Get them and kill them flashily!" He ordered and made the guys shoot endless amount of bullets on them, machine guns and rifles were there weapons of choice apparently. Zoro stopped at about a meter distance. He got ready and with a swift movement he sliced thee guns in half… Sanji jumped over him and kicked the rifles right out of their hands. Right after then Luffy came and when Luffy would be done then there wouldn't be anything left… he liked to use his hands while taking out this team. In a matter of three minuets then the buggy crew was on the ground. All knocked out…
"You freak!" Buggy screamed and let out a cry of rage. Zoro turned to the sun and crossed his swords. After second then the sun created shine that shined right into Usopp's eyes….
"Damn it! I can do this I'm the best sniper in this city! I am sogeking!" He kept mumbling to himself as he watched the short lived fight. The last one standing was only Buggy…
He could not stop sweating, and then the sigh came and, by instinct, he pulled the trigger and hoped that it would hit… he clenched his eyes together and waited for this to be over
"Great job Usopp!" he heard Luffy shout up to him. he peaked over to them and saw that he had hit bulls eye… these bullets weren't really bullets, just paralyzing darts, they weren't supposed to give any damage…but Usopp had hit buggy between the eyes and he was not sure how that would damage him…
"Hmm sure wont damage his brain" he mumbled and stood up and assumed his passion of triumph
"I am the king of snipers!" he screamed and laughed, down stairs then the guys were already starting to leave the camp…
"Well that was fun." Luffy said and rested his hands behind his head. He laughed and started to search for Nami, she was standing with the van
"Nami-chan~"Sanji serenaded over to her. "I trust that you're satisfied with the mission"
"Haha! Are you kidding? All this treasure and it ours now!" she shouted, but then she realized that sh was screaming and that was risky shouting out the word 'treasure' and so on, in this neighborhood
"I have to say I'm surprised at you Nami. Pulling a thing like this, right after they stole the loot them self's? It's a new level of evil…" Zoro said under his breath, there was a pair of nasty glares.
"Don't you dare call my Nami chan evil" Sanji kicked presumed to kick Sanji and Zoro presided to block with the handle of the sword.
"well I'm going to tell you that I'm doing nothing worse than what we've been doing all this time… and besides you did get this done slower then usually so we lost almost three minutes, and time is money. I am going to take that out on your dept…"
"Say what?!" Zoro shouted. Right before he blocked sanjis foot that was about to hit him in the face, but something made it so that he missed and slipped, somehow he fell with his leg over Zoro's shoulder. Zoro still just stood there when he pressed up against him. Real close contact was made with the movement. Suddenly Zoro felt the familiar feeling on the back of his neck. With warm sweat forming on his forehead and he felt his blood pressure get higher… that was not the first time that had happened around the blond haired man.
"Getting rusty all of the sudden are we?" Zoro asked quickly. He was that close that he could see the vain popping on sanjis forehead…
"Not in a million years marimo!" he pushed him away from him and looked around quickly to see if anyone had seen this. Thankfully Nami was too busy trying to explain to Luffy why it was important that they got out of here fast before anyone would come and we would have to fight them too…
"But that's okay, I'll kick there dump asses anytime…" he said pouting… Nami opened the van shot-gun was going to shout out to the two guys still having a little battle moment. She decided that she didn't feel like screaming on them. She was tired…
"Shitty cook!"
"Stupid marimo!"
"Here we go again…" she sighed and slammed the door shut. Luffy just laughed
"It's just like every day" he laughed and got in the van at the driver's seat.
"How the hell can you even think that I'm getting rusty you know that I'll kick your ass any day!"Sanji shouted at him and kicked his foot to land on his face.
"You couldn't beat me if you were the last man on earth…" he screamed back and let him kick him as much as he could; He still blocked every kick that Sanji put. He still kicked harder than he did usually when they fought…that only meant that he was more worked up the usual. Zoro bit his tongue, ever since 'that' had happened he couldn't stop thinking about the cook and for that they had been fighting more than ever… he never said anything about it, they had swore to heaven and earth to never say anything about it. Not even think about it…
Would you two stop fighting and get in the bloody van!" Nami screamed out the open window. "We need to go fetch Usopp so just put this fight on hold and get in the car!" she screamed a little more and closed the window.
"Anything for you Nami-chan~" Sanji swooned and almost flew over to the van… Zoro stood there and watched the cook walk away from the fight. The back side of the cook was so clearly showing in those tight jeans that he was wearing… Zoro felt frustration build up in his lower area.
In all truth, he had fallen in love with this man…as horrible it was to fall in love with the man you once hated, but even more painful it was to fall in love with the man who likes women, Even liked them more than anything… he knew that there was no way that he could hold him like he did that night, hold him and feel his heart beat. Watch the sweat form on his body and make the blond hair stick to his fore head, and then touch him in places that made Sanji moan out so lustfully…
"Oi marimo! Have you fallen asleep?!" Sanji shouted at him. The anger in sanjis voice didn't make his slowly forming hard-on in his pants go away. He hurried over to the wan and sat down in the seat that was as far away from Sanji as possible… thank goodness for the large van… maybe now he could focus on NOT thinking about him.
Up on the building where Usopp had shot down Buggy, the self named king on snipers was walking down from his stage of glory. He was whistling a little tune with his head in the clouds; his riffle was safely stored away in its case on his back he walked down the stairs of the abandoned building.
Suddenly he heard something mumble inside the walls of one room. He felt the cold sweat form on the back of his neck and he started to shake with fear…
"What the hell is the big idea Luccy?! I don't know why you called us here but to come to our home to get us in this dump? We have better things to do you know!" a muffled woman's voice sounded inside the room, he felt like he knew this voice before. Where had he heard it…?
"I understand that you think you have better things to, Kalifa. But really you think that you aren't even the slightest bit curious about what I have to say?"
Usopp almost fell over himself. He walked over to the wall and pressed his ear on the wall, he heard a little better. Why were they in a place like this?
"Quit being mysterious Luccy and just tell us why we're here?" a man sounded… he now knew who he was listening to, that man who had just spoken was kaku… was the entire flock of jerks there? He pressed his ear up against the wall harder and tried to listen to the conversation…
"I've been aware for quite some time now that my new target is going to attend this year's Shichibukai dance, which I intend to crash."
"What? Why would you do that? That's so unlike you…"
"I have my reasons..."
The Shichibukai dance? That was one of the biggest events of the year. Happened every year, in which anyone who was anyone attended. About three million beli was spent every year on that event, what did Luccy want with that?
"I don't understand…" that was kaku again "why would you want to crash the good time of the rich and pompous?"
"For selfish reasons…" Luccy sounded like he was smiling. And even if Usopp didn't know Luccy that well then he knew that he smiling was a horrible thing… "I want to obtain something…someone actually…someone that will belong to me…"
"So you're going to crash the fancy-pants convention to get a girl?" Jyabura asked with a bored tone.
"Get her… own her…" Luccy said and Usopp could tell that he was grinning… he didn't sound that he was speaking lovingly about who ever she was… 'Who is he talking about?'
"So what would want from us? You could just walk in there and take her…not that i would ever encourage such a sexual harassing…" Kalifa sounded a little worked up… Usopp was taking mental notes in his head 'why would he do something like that to just get one girl…?' he asked himself and swallowed. Even if his throat was getting dry and he felt like he deeded to throw up he was so anxious…
"That would ruin all the fun…" Luccy sounded…
"Who is the chick?" Jyabura asked, starting to sound a bit curious...
"Her name is Hailey Cross… I believe she will be attending the dance with sir crocodile of the Shichibukai…"
"Ha?" Usopp heard them all gasp a little.
"You want her…?" kaku asked he sounded a little envious… "Not bad…" there was sound like he was ruffling a piece of paper, like a magazine or something…
"You would ruin this girl's life?" Kalifa asked sounding more interested then shocked…
"I won't ruin anything… if she won't put up a fight…"
Usopp suddenly didn't know what happened. Suddenly he got up and ran as fast as he could down the spooky stairs… he was felt the sting in his stomach and the horrible feeling in his head… Hailey? Luccy wants Hailey?! How did he even think he was gonna get to her with Ace protecting her? He had to tell Luffy as soon as he could…
He was almost at the door and he saw the van right outside the building…
"Luffy!" he screamed and jumped into the van. He slammed the door. "Drive, drive, drive, drive, drive!" He shouted and Luffy kicked the car up to about 80 miles per hour. After about ten minutes they were well on their way back home…
"What's the matter with you Usopp? Why did we have to rush out of there so fast?" Nami asked two of the front seat…
"i-i-i-*gasp* I heard that Luccy is going to attack the Shichibukai dance this weekend!" he screamed out, with his hands flying out every where…
"So what? We have nothing to with that?"
"But Hailey is going to that dance!"
"Don't be silly." Luffy said and laughed a little. "Besides, Hailey is going to meet Ace this weekend!"
"But I'm sure that Luccy said that she would be there and she would be attending the dace with Crocodile!"
"What!" Luffy had glanced at the clock on the radio and shouted then speed up.
"Luffy what are you doing?!" Nami shouted at him and held on to her seat.
"Oi idiot! Slow down now!" Sanji shouted and caught Usopp as he fell out of his seat "hey buckle up…" he mumbled and pushed him back up.
"Would you stop already!" they all shouted at him… he did not stop, he recklessly drove all the way out of the red line and way up to the gas station… he pulled such a hard brake that the car nearly took a dive over himself, then landed perfectly over at a gas station… where Shanks was waiting for him…
"You idiot!" Nami screamed and the car shook from the punches Luffy was getting from Nami… Sanji used the chance to kick him hard in the head…
"What they are giving away free doughnuts here today!" Luffy wined back and
"Hmm… sounds like they had a god time…" Shanks mused and walked over to the car…
"Aaah Shanks-sensei" Luffy rolled down the window and greeted and smiled
"Good day Luffy" he greeted back and rested his hand on the window frame. "Why did you want to meet me here?" he asked calmly and smiled friendly at the rest of the people in the van.
"Say can you tell me something about the Shichibukai dance this weekend?" Luffy asked like it was nothing… Usopp shrugged a bit.
"Wait I want to tell you more about what I heard!" he shouted, but he was cut off by the older man my the window
"Shush…" he said and placed a finger over his lips. "Well the Shichibukai dance is an annual event that the most important people In the Grand line city attend… I've been there twice…"
"Ha? What's a gym teacher doing in the hall of the rich and famous…?" Nami asked in disbelief...
"Dear Nami-chan, have some fate in me... I haven't always been just a gym teacher…" he answered smiling…
Usopp came up closer to Sanji and whispered in his ear. "He used be the top rated sheriff in the entire city… there is a long story how he quit and became a teacher"
"Do you know why?"
"No but from what I heard its top secret…"
"Thing is its weary big and everything is really beautiful and grand, everyone talks and there is dancing and people are discussing politics and boring stuff…" Shanks explanted, he made it sound so easy and boring.
"That's it?" Luffy ask and opened the car door ad ran over to the gas station… most likely to get all the doughnuts he could find and stuff them in his mouth or his pocket…
"Is that all you wanted to know?" Shanks asked and took the stay airs out of his face…
"Nonono! I have to tell you guys something!" Usopp shouted
"What, what were you going to say?" Sanji sounded lightly pissed off
"I-I heard that Luccy was going there to kidnap Hailey"
"Really?" shanks asked from the "why do you think he will do that?"
"I don't know but I heard him say I out loud!"
"Are you sure? Isn't Ace supposed to be her body guard?" Nami asked with little disbelief her voice...
"Of course I'm sure!You think I'm lying?" he shouted angrily…
"There is a possibility that you are" Zoro came from the back seat…
"Hmm…" Shanks pondered about it for a good two minuets that Luffy was in the gas station.
"Alright I'm back!" he finally shouted and jumped in the car… "Shanks-sensei are you coming with us?"
"Oh no... I have an appointment to meet someone… the rest of you go and talk to ether one of them, Hailey or Ace tell him to be with her just to be on the safe side…" he started to walk away so Luffy could start to drive back home.
Shanks wondered if there was anything to be taken from that boy… after all Usopp did make up a lot of excuses for school. He was known for his not-so-well-made-lies… but to lie about something like this, he wouldn't have any motives for something like that… so it worried him; could that new girl be in danger… he turned around and started to walk over to the corner of the houses. And heeded over to the restaurant he was supposed to be there fifteen minutes ago…
There favorite place… it was a little restaurant, bar and a coffee corner… I was called the phoenix-café. He also knew that it was Marco's favorite place to be. Shanks had spent almost two hours getting ready and planning for this night, and he was sure to make this an anniversary a day that Marco would remember… and now he was late.
He walked in the front door and looked around, and there he was sitting at the bar. He was admiring the painting on the walls. He always did this; admire the elegant art work that was spread all over the walls. The place in particular was a bird with his blue flaming wings spread above the wine cabinet. The blue bird stretched his feathers over the walls and mesmerized Marco. It was clear as day, Shanks could see if from far away. He was not surprised, the art work was really beautiful and it, in a way, reminded him of Marco. That's why he liked the place.
"You're late…" Marcos voice came to his ears when he suddenly was next to him. Shanks had been in a dazed state when was thinking about his boyfriend. Then Marco had walked over to him and he did not look pleased…
"Haha, I'm sorry…" he said and leaned in to kiss his cheek. Marco frowned but felt his cheeks heat up when Th red haired man kissed him. Shanks led Marco over to a seat in the corner and then was going to kiss Marco again on the lips but he looked away.
"Don't think our can just kiss your way out of this one, old man. I'm not really happy about you being late! I mean you would think that you would at least be on time because it's our anniversary but no I thought you had forgotten about it completely-mrfh!" Shanks cut him off by pulling him into a passionate kiss... Marco tried to push him off but suddenly felt as if the will power to do so had just disappeared. But it only increased his frustration towards the older man
"You know you talk too much…" Shanks said with a smirk when he broke the kiss, Marco frowned and looked away. "Oh hey come on, it's not like I did this on purpose…" the older man smiled awkwardly and tried to think of was to make this better…
"I don't care…" Marco slided away from his lover and rested his head on his hands. Shanks slid over his way and pulled the menu up to cover them. He pulled his arm over Marcos shoulder and pulled him close, and then he pressed his lips up against his ear and started to softly caress the outer shell.
"Hey old man, what do-"
"Don't be mad at me… I hate it when you are mad at me…" he whispered softly and stroked Marcos arm up and down…
"Don't so this here… not in public!" Marco scolded him and tried to push him off but Shanks would not budge. He smiled against the soft flesh against him and kissed the younger mans neck…
"Fine then let's go somewhere ells" he suddenly said and pulled away
"What already!? Were not gonna eat?" Marco asked, he pulled Shanks back down into his seat and called for the waitress. "You were late and for what you are paying for what we have here!" he ordered and let the girl know that he wanted the usual. Shanks would have the same… he decided to tease his lover just a little bit, he leaned into him and again placed his lips up against Marcos ear.
"Hmm that's funny, because I was thinking of just eating you…" he purred and licked the shell.
"Oi oi… don't do this here, wait a moment!" Marco said and finally put a smile over his face, as well as for a large red blush. Shanks laughed a bit and hugged him close,
"Don't be mad at me…"
"Alright, alright" he said and pushed him away. "But this isn't over."
"Fair enough. I feel as If I'm going to pay for this later…"
"You sure will…" Marco said with a mischievous glint in those bright blue eyes. Shanks smiled back at him and he held on with their anniversary like any other.
Time passed on fast and before they knew it, it was already six o' clock. The sun was setting and the two of them decided it was time for happy-hour and were going to leave for a bar. They stuck close together and held hands. While they laughed and made fun of things together, they had fun together. And not just t the 'good stuff', they had been together since Marco graduated from high school, Shanks had been his homeroom teacher then, before he took over the gym. He had been a teacher for a year at the time and thought that this was the best job ever to have. And one of the reasons was that he got to see Marco every day. But since he as a teacher and Marco was student then he could only go lusting after him I his dreams… then after that brat graduated then there was slim chance that he would ever see the boy again, but then the young male had actually gone ahead and asked Shanks to date him… and that was that… Marco said that since Shanks wasn't his teacher any more then it was more than fine to go out with him. Well that at least that is the shorter version of this little relationship anyway.
"Boy I would hate to be Ace right about now…" Marco said and laughed.
"Why? Is he in trouble? Your old man isn't giving him any trouble is he?" Shanks half slurred out
"No, why would he? Anyway then if you want to know then he is supposed to be meeting a girl this weekend… he's so excited about it, it's really cute."
"A date? I thought they were just meeting to… well when I think about it, it does make much more sense…"
"What you know about it?"
"I met with Luffy before I came to meet yah. He said something about Ace meeting a Hailey girl…"
"Hailey? Where have I heard that name before?" Marco mumbled to himself and pulled Shanks over to a newspaper stand. There was the newspaper with a picture of a family. A dead serious man a mother with a painted on smile, and then a daughter that didn't look like one of the family…
"The newest marble of the city is the cross family. Moved into the city a few days ago, they bought a house on angel Island Street. Although Lady Emily cross said she is weary happy with the outcome of her husband's moving and that her daughter, Hailey Cross is, getting along nicely at her new school she said that all she wants is to have her daughter be happy and find love…"
"Hmm in this city…?" shanks said with sarcastic tone in his voice. "Keep reading"
"She says 'the only way that my daughter will find love is that I let her do what she pleases… so that's why she will be attending the Shichibukai dance to get with the program in this lovely city…' as well for her father quietly agreeing to buy her a dress for the evening…" Marco stopped reading and threw the paper back where he found it. He shook his head and sighed. "These rich people…"
"You think this Hailey Cross Is the same Hailey that Ace is going to see tomorrow?"
"How should I know…?" Marco sighed out. He didn't understand why Shanks all of the sudden wanted to know about all this… was there something special about her…
"Well if is the same Hailey, and then you really should tall Ace to fight for her. And not let her go to the dance"
"Why?"
"I just worry about the new student at the school, something bad might be happening at that place" shanks said then strung his one arm over Marcos shoulder and tried to lighten the mood, no reason to be worrying about that now… the dance was not until tomorrow and tonight was all about Marco.
Marco leaned into the older man and rested his head n his shoulder. Shanks kissed his head and then moved on with their anniversary at the bar until about two in the morning. Was when Marco thought it wouldn't be a good idea to go home before they were too drunk to know what they were doing. Shanks was paying for everything as a punishment for being late for this day…
They were half way home, Marco had the older man hanging over his shoulder, he was singing happily at the top of his voice. With glee in his still shining eyes Marco sang with him as they walked over to the older man's home, it would b better to go there in case something would happen… he lived in a pretty large house a bit close to the school. A large two bead room house with a huge back yard, an attic and a basement. The reason for him having such a large house remanded a mystery to Marco…
He opened the door and tried the best he could to ignore the tongue going up and down his neck.
"Oi, you just can't wait can you?" h mumbled and dragged him into his living room… "Aaah!" he it out a delicious sound when shanks hit the sensitive spot below the ear.
"Damn you kid you are just too damn sexy." Shanks slurred and tripped Marco, to soon he was on his back on the floor with the red haired man towering over him.
"Hey! You can't- mrfh!" again he was cut off by Shanks that forced into a hot and heavy kiss… shanks licked over Marcos lips to ask for access in. the blond placed is hands on each side of Shanks's head and opened his mouth. Shank let his tongue explore the warm caverns inside the younger mans mouth, explored every inch and every corner of the hot wet caverns…
"Mmh… you pervert…" the blond mumbled softly when they broke the kiss…
"You don't have to go anywhere do you?"
"Why do you have to be somewhere?" Marco smirked softly and pulled Shanks back down. Their tongues danced together for long while. Suddenly Marco pushed the red up so they were sitting, he softly bushed his knee into shanks groin….the red haired man smirked into their kisses; he wished that he had another arm right now. He would make Marco shout out in pleasure…
Marco continued to softly rub the older man's manhood. While the red brushed his shingle hand threw the Marcos soft blond hair. The red then ran his hands down to his chest and unbuttoned his shirt; he pinched the pink nibble underneath. Marco let out a lustful moan while the man caressed the little sweet.
"Haha. You sure it's alright we do this on the floor old man?" Marco mumbled while Shanks moved down his neck.
"Mmh... I'm fine with anywhere, as long as you are there"
"Aaahh what a lukewarm sentiment…" he laughed softly and dropped his shirt on the floor. When it dropped shanks ran his hand down his stomach all the way down to unbutton the pants, "aaahh damn it stop teasing me" Marco moaned out when shanks started to stroke Marco outside his pants agonizingly slow, the older man only smirked and pushed his pray down to bight his nibble
"You know you like it" shanks smirked. He suddenly sneaked a hand under the younger man and lifted him f the floor. He jumped into his bedroom and slammed the door shut, before Marco could even say anything then he was thrown on the soft bed spread with the Shanks towering over him. One hand or not…it didn't make any difference. It was way too hard to be mad at this man for too long, there really was no way… the night passed quietly for anyone who slept. But the two of them didn't sleep, they had no rest until the sun came back up the morning after… and if they would be sore then so be it. Any pain they may or may not have to endure would be more then worth it.
