Day 14
The next morning, Ace woke up with the warmth of winter sun bathing his freckled face and reflected off his soft, black hair. He yawned and drowsily opened his eyes, shielding them with a hand from the sunlight which would surely make him go blind. After a moment of stillness, soft and gentle breathing led Ace to look at Luffy who was at his side. Lu had claimed that he was too cold in his own bed, so he ninja-ishly snuck into Ace's during the night to keep warm. The older didn't mind the extra warmth and company at all.
The one and only problem was all that Luffy was wearing was his boxers...
Later, after another day of highschool for the boys, Luffy decided to hang out with Zoro. Though Roronoa Zoro was almost 17 and a freshman, (due to a few hold-backs in grade school...), Luffy was best friends with him, and sometimes thought of him as an adopted older brother. Since Ace had confessed to Luffy, however, Zoro had been slightly neglected by his 'younger brother'. Not like he cared a ton, *cough*, but the green-haired one had a whole lot more time on his hands now that was spent on mainly sleeping and excercise; more than the usual amount. So when Luffy asked Zoro if he wanted to hang out afterschool, the older student gladly accepted the offer.
Meanwhile, Ace had overheard his brother's conversation with his friend and realized that he hadn't hung out with Marco for a while, also. So Ace talked to Marco while Luffy talked with Zoro, and the brothers decided to take a break for the night with their friends.
As soon as school let out, Ace walked out into the cold air with Marco on his heels, heading towards Ace's car to drive over to the blonde's house. Zoro slung his book bag over a shoulder, shoved his hands into his green coat's pockets, and let out a somewhat happy sigh as he heard Luffy's quick footsteps approaching him from behind. The brother's didn't forget to send a nearly unnoticed wink at each other before sitting down in their designated rides with a grin. The drivers just rolled their eyes with a smirk and then drove off, cutting through the cold winter air and a few light snowflakes as well.
Luffy didn't exactly know how his friend managed to get it, but Zoro had an uber-awesome car! Low riding, flat, shiny black with tinted windows with perfectly matching shiny chrome rims; and two comfortable seats. Roronoa's smirk never left his face as Luffy just gawked at everything about his 'baby'. He then picked up his half-empty can of Monster that he hadn't had time to finish that morning and took a few sips before handing the can in Luffy's direction.
"Want some?" Zoro said while swirling the liquid around a bit in its can, his eyes painfully turned to keep watch of the road as he held the wheel with one hand. Luffy looked at Zoro with a questioning look and took the can, smelling it curiously. Pleased with the familiar sugary smell, Luffy tilted the can back and let some of the Monster drip into his mouth before swallowing.
"Thanks!" Luffy said excitedly, taking another few mouthfuls. The older sighed at that cute reaction. His whole supply of Monster waiting back at his home might now to be sacrificed to this pesky, but cute, devil; whatever made Luffy happy.
Once Zoro's baby was parked carefully in Luffy's driveway and the two stepped out of it without damaging anything, the friends walked up the front steps and pushed open the unlocked door. Both boys threw their bookbags and coats on the floor like they owned the place and walked down the main hallway to the stairs, where Rouge was coming down from the upstairs.
"Oh hi, Zoro! It's been a while!" Rouge said with one hand on her hip and the other in a fist raised toward the green-haired teen. Zoro tilted his head for a minute before fist-bumping Rouge.
"Hey Mrs. P, and yeah, my bad," Zoro said with a smirk, looking down at Luffy's mom. Luffy laughed a little and then turned to go up the stairs again, and Zoro followed. Once they reached the tops of the stairs, Rouge poked her head back into view.
"Oh and Luffy! I'm going to the store, anything you want me to pick up?"
Not a second later did Luffy scream out, "Monster! And lots of it!"
Luffy jumped onto his bed with great enthusiasm and then laughed for a few minutes while Zoro took a seat next to him, feeling very large in the relatively small room. Luffy then sat up and poked Zoro's shoulder repeatedly, half-tempted to bite that poor, innocent shoulder as well.
"Zoroooo~ What do you wanna do~?" Luffy asked, falling over on his side dramatically, but bolted back up again almost immediately, "Nevermind, nevermind, I know what I wanna do~"
Zoro gave him a very concerned glare and a sigh, asking what exactly Luffy had in mind. Luffy rubbed his hands together evilly and laughed as soon as he heard the front door close as his mom left. Zoro had a very bad feeling in his gut. He just knew something was off. Luffy then gracefully leaped to his doorway and across the hallway, into Ace's bedroom. The older stood up slowly, put his hands in his pockets and followed the boy into the bedroom, already feeling sorry for Ace.
"Luffy.. what are you going t- ?" Zoro started, stopping in shock as first he saw the bottle of lube slipped inside the doorway from the previous day, and then his jaw dropped at the sight of Luffy holding a cock ring in his hand.
"L-Luffyyy...?" Zoro said, glaring at the object that Luffy was looking at curiously and completely oblivious to the item's purpose. The younger gave it a glare also, and then held it up to Zoro.
"How could this ring-thingy be so embarrassing.. what the hell is this, Zoro?" Luffy questioned whilst trying to come up with an answer in his mind as the same time. Zoro hesitantly took the cock ring out of Luffy's hand and then tucked it away under Ace's pillow again, all in one fluid movement. Zoro felt as if he should burn his hands after touching such the thing, and just shook his head down at Luffy. Roronoa walked out of the room, deathly afraid of everything in that bedroom afterwards. Luffy looked at the pillow with a longing glance but then shook his head, following Zoro back into his own room.
"Well? I need to know what it is! 'Cause when Mom brought up something embarrassing that she knew he had during dinner, and oh my gosh, it made Ace blush sooo baddd! But I don't see why a stupid ring-thingy can be so embarrassing!" Luffy pouted, sitting cross-legged on the carpet in his room. Meanwhile, Zoro sat down and was desperately trying to keep from blushing as a quick mental image of Ace masturbating arose in his mind. After swatting that away, the older of the two rubbed a hand over his face and looked down at the very confused Luffy, contemplating the right words. He covered his eyes with his hands and then opened his mouth slowly.
"Cock ring.."
"...Zoro...?"
"That ring.. it's called a cock ring. You...uhh..guys slip that ring around their dicks..and it helps keep them hard for a while..." Zoro mumbled, wanting to jump off a cliff. Luffy looked at Zoro with his eyebrows raised as high as physically possible.
"So Zoro, you're saying.. that Ace uses that thing?" Luffy questioned, scooting up against Zoro's leg on the floor. Zoro's mind was about to burst and he didn't even want to talk anymore; however, he didn't want to look like such a baby. So the guest straightened up his back and too a breath.
"Most likely," he responded while acting casually, crossing his legs and running a hand through his short, green hair. Luffy looked down at the ground with a burning blush across his face which made Zoro even more uncomfortable with the silence. Luffy thought for a while that way, thinking.. Finally, he looked up from all that thinking and put a hand on Zoro's knee.
"Do you think that ring would fit me?" Luffy asked curiously, not a hint of hesitance in his voice. The other boy nearly passed out at the question and needed a short while to mentally recover.
"I don't know, Luffy... I really don't know.." Zoro said, burying his face in the nearest pillow. Luffy tilted his head back toward Ace's room, too curiously. He stood up, went and got the thing, and came back to his room, shutting the door. Zoro had no idea, seeing as he was still smothering himself with the fluffy pillow. Luffy pulled down his pants and boxers and slipped the ring onto his slightly stiff shaft in experimentation. Zoro finally looked up to breathe, saw Luffy and then almost shrieked in shock. Quickly shutting covering his eyes once more, he wished to god that he hadn't seen that. Luffy, however, didn't notice nor care, and sighed when the ring was only a bit big.
"Ne, Zoro, it's too big!" Luffy whined, pulling it off and dropping it on the ground.
"Oh darn.." Zoro said with great sarcasm even through the pillow. Now he was beginning to have another problem which he really didn't want to have right then. "And.. uhh.. put your pants back on, Luffy..."
Said teen did so, and then picked up the cock ring once more. He then sat next to Zoro and pulled the pillow out of his friend's hands and threw it on the floor.
"Stop being weird! Shishishi, and oh! It might fit you, though!"
At this comment, Zoro glanced wearily at the sex toy with a disgusted face and took it out of the younger's hand with a sigh.
"Jesus.. now you've got me curious... turn around and don't you dare look, Luffy!" Zoro said sternly, standing up and repeating the same process, except with a little-(*cough* a.k.a. a lot)-more hesitance. Luffy being Luffy, might or might not have followed Zoro's rules and almost laughed at the nearly inaudible gasp Zoro made when he slid it on all the way.
"Zoro?" Luffy managed to say without laughing, and then had to cover up his mouth.
"No comment, Luffy.. no comment," Zoro mumbled, slowly beginning take off the cock ring which so happened to fit him perfectly, "How 'bout we put that back in Ace's room before we rape each other, 'kay?"
Luffy laughed hysterically at that and turned around a little too early for Zoro's liking, but whatever. "Guess we're even now.." Zoro thought to himself as he quickly pulled his pants and boxers back up. He looked at the cursed ring and sighed, opening Luffy's bedroom door and throwing the cock ring across the hall and into a random spot in Ace's room.
"If your brother asks, just say that it might have been your mom.." Zoro said before walking out of the room and near the bathroom, "Oh, and while I'm in there, take your time in here..." Zoro said, and then closed the bedroom door on the way to the bathroom to relieve his annoying problem.
Luffy just sat there dumbfounded. What was he supposed to be taking time with?
"Zorooo.." Luffy said, scrambling out of his room and stood outside the bathroom door, "what am I supposed to be doing again?"
Zoro opened the door quickly and pulled Luffy in, then re-shut the door.
"You want me to do it for you? That what you're getting at?" Zoro asked in total confusion, standing with a heavy blush on his face while his pants were unzipped and almost pulled down. He could not get how a 15-year-old could be so block-headed. Luffy leaned his back against the bathroom door and looked up at Zoro with the same confused and blushing expression. The older one sighed and quickly pulled down Luffy's pants & underwear, causing a very high-pitched squeal to come from the black-haired one's mouth.
"You gonna let me do this or not?" Zoro said, looking directly into Luffy's eyes. Luffy looked away, understanding what he should have been working on. Now he was freaking out on the inside! All Luffy had ever done before was make out with Ace, and a little covered-feeling, but that was it! Now Luffy had no clue what Zoro was going to do to him and whether he would embarrass himself or not. Plus, Luffy was reserving himself for Ace and Ace only!
"Z-Zoro, I'm gonna stop you now before you do anything that I'll regret letting you do... 'cause... 'cause I'm saving my body for Ace!"
Three things in that one sentence made Zoro's mind freeze up: '1. Luffy's afraid?, 2. ACE?!, and 3. It's not like I was gonna full-blown rape him..'
So then Zoro had to think of a way to smoothly let Luffy go, or what to say to him, or something to make him calm down.
"Hm.. how 'bout I let you keep your 'problem' until Ace gets home and then let him take care of it... there."
Zoro felt like throwing up after saying that. He sounded way too nice for his liking, and also, he was having a hard time just wrapping his head around the fact that Ace and Luffy had somethin' goin' on. 'I mean, they've always been close... really close, but sexually-close?' Luffy looked like his face was about to catch on fire, and Zoro felt bad.. The green-haired teen leaned over and kissed Luffy's lips gently in almost an apologetic manner. 'There I go being weird and nice.. again.. goddamnit Luffy.'
"Sorry..." Zoro whispered into Luffy's ear and then continued to lick along the shorter's jawline, making Luffy stiffen up involuntarily. Neither could believe what was happening. Zoro was pretty much going against all his rules, which include the following: 1. Don't be too nice. 2. Don't act sorry. 3. Don't touch people. 4. Don't put your tongue and mouth where it shouldn't be. and 5. which pretty much sums it all up; Don't love people! Yet Zoro was breaking all of these boundaries and loving, kissing, licking, feeling sorry, and trying to be nice to Luffy. But all this would have to stop, since it wasn't helping either's problem. Just as Zoro forgot what he was trying to avoid and slid his hand down Luffy's pants, earning a throaty moan from Luffy.
"Zoro.. ahhh! You can't.." Luffy moaned out, trying to push his green-haired friend away. Zoro realized what he was doing and again felt bad. So he gave Luffy a quick chaste kiss on his lips and then backed away, taking his hands off the other teen. Luffy still looked red as a tomato, but at least he wasn't being raped like he thought.
"Luffy, I think I have to go.." Zoro said quickly, rubbing the back of his head while looking at the wall next to him. Luffy just nodded and then gave Zoro a tight hug while whispering in his ear.
"Thanks, Zoro.."
"...For what?"
"Thank you for being my friend," Luffy whispered, almost with tears in his eyes for unknown reasons. Zoro just smiled awkwardly, rubbing Luffy's back soothingly. The two collected themselves and then walked out of the bathroom like nothing had happened.
Soon after Luffy had waved to Zoro as he drove away in his baby, Luffy turned around, shut the front door, then ran upstairs to take care of his problem before Ace got home, since he was a bit unsure if he would be ready to have someone else touch him yet.
During all this, Ace just sat in Marco's man cave watching T.V. like it was his job and was constantly thinking of Luffy. He just couldn't wait to get home.
