Day 13

One week after the brothers confessed their mutual feelings of love to one another.

The school day was fairly interesting for Ace and Luffy. In the hallways, or whenever possible, Ace would blow Luffy kisses and Luffy would give his older brother rib-breaking hugs. Then, Ace skipped half of his class to meet Lufy in the gym locker room where they got caught making-out... The two got dragged by the gym teacher then to the front office so that the front-desk-lady could call their mom and tell her what they did. Ace and Luffy were standing awkwardly in the office until Ace realized that there was a chair right next to him. Apparently Luffy didn't find sitting on Ace's lap inappropriate at all for that situation, and didn't really help either one when Luffy just happily sat down on Ace's lap.

When the secretary finally got ahold of Portgas D. Rouge, she awkwardly described why she was calling her at that time. Rouge held the phone up to her ear gently and her cheeks went bright red after hearing that her sons were caught making-out in the locker room. There was a silence on the line for a short while before Rouge couldn't contain herself and burst into laughter. Even the brothers could hear her laughing from the other side of the room.

"Boys will be boys! You're acting like they were planning a mass shooting in there! Calm down and just let my boys be, will ya?" Rouge insisted with her all time favorite sassy tone. She then broke into another fit of laughter and hung up, leaving the secretary very confused and nervous. She let the two boys go back to class and said that this incident would be their only warning. The two were glad that their mom was weird. Meanwhile, Rouge went about cleaning the house once more with happy whistling.

After school, Ace and Luffy ran through the front door and gave Rouge the tightest hug ever. She just smiled happily and hugged her sons back, surprised that both of them were taller than her.


After a quick snack for Luffy, and an unexpected narcolepsy-nap for Ace, the two sat quietly in the older's bedroom wondering what to do. Ace could tell that his brother was looking up at that shelf curiously. That put the freckled one on thin ice, and he wanted just so bad to strip his boyfriend and just fuck him. Well, fuck him with love and gentleness, if that makes any sense. That thought and mental image was a bad idea for Ace, now giving him a non-helpful problem. How he hated this sudden sensitivity.

Luffy looked up at Ace with curiousity after hearing him reposition himself several times and blushed when he knew his brother's dilemma. Luffy wondered why the only time he got hard was with Ace, and why Luffy was the only one that could give Ace that same trouble. It was all so foreign to him. So both were aware of the awkwardness filling the air and felt really weird.

"Luffy.." Ace groaned as he pulled his brother up onto his lap and nipped at the younger's neck and collarbone. Said blushing-boy responded with a 'hmmm?' and put his arms around Ace's neck.

"If we had kids, they'd be so beautiful.. ya know that?" Ace whispered into Luffy's ear, licking around the shell and kissing down Luffy's neck.

"But Ace, we can't have kids together.."

Ace pulled back and then looked down at his hands for a second in thought, then took his brother's hands into his own. Ace placed a gentle kiss on Luffy's lips and then smiled, putting his forehead against the younger's.

"A man can dream, right?"

Luffy nodded slowly after a moment and then grinned, kissed Ace on the cheek and whispered into his brother's ear.

"And we could always try anyway~"

At this comment, Ace's eyes widened at Luffy's sudden courage, but he didn't dislike it whatsoever. In fact, Ace pulled his love into a close hug, chests flat against each other, and placed numerous kisses on his brother's face.

"I love you, Luffy.."

"I love you too, Ace!"


Meanwhile, Rouge was sitting right outside Ace's door, looking through Luffy's journal entries. She smiled at her son's sweetness and obliviousness, and at Ace's straight-out weirdness. She held the small un-used bottle that Ace had given Luffy also, as she had nearly stepped on it while going into Luffy's room. Rouge cracked the door open just a few inches and slid the bottle into Ace's room, unnoticed. Mom then got up with a smile, put the journal back, and then walked into the bathroom to begin cleaning there.
