Chapter 8

When I woke I knew the ship wasn't moving anymore. I sat up in my bed and looked around and hoped that Ace was sleeping in his usual spot on the floor but it was empty. I got up washed up in the bathroom in made my way to the deck. The island we were on was huge hustle and bustle town. I was shocked stupid on how much was going on at once. The streets where filed with people going in and out of shops. From what I heard about Loguetown I would have thought this was it. The crew was gone off the ship I could tell on how dead and quiet it was. I knew Pop was probably still hear and someone to watch the ship. I made my way to the front of Moby and found pops sitting and watching the town. He was without the medical equipment probably not wanting to look weaken towards the people who were casting nervous glances our way and because if something happen it would save time for him to get in to scary mood.

"Hello my Daughter I was getting worried "I frowned at him

"Why?" I asked

"You have been out for two days; we just made it here last night. I hope to move on tomorrow so you have things to do, right?" I nodded and my stomach clenched with nervousness.

"Thanks Pops, do you know where he is?" he smiled at me

"Check the restaurants" he said and I couldn't help but laugh. I moved of the ship and in to the town.

I picked out some clothes first so I didn't have to worry about it; I got few different tank tops and tee-shirts a sweater and some pants and shorts. I wanted to be cover for both hot and cold islands; I even treated myself to a bathing suit. Once I ran back to Moby to drop of my clothes and a new brush and some women essentials that men had no clue about and I was happy didn't come yet I left again more nervous because I had to find Ace and I was afraid of what he was going to say. I knew he was mad at me and when I tell him I lied he is probably going to get angrier.

An hour later I was starting to lose hope on finding him. I check every restaurant I came across and asked a few people. I mean its Ace you can't miss him he was full of energy, wore no shirt has a huge tattoo of whitebeard on his back and a bright orange hat. In the 10th restaurant I walked in to I found him. He was sitting at a table with stacks of dishes around him and he was slumped in his seat sleeping. I sighed and shook my head. This is the man I love? A gluttonous narcoleptic fire ball, I was able to take the seat across from him while he was still snoozing. I put my chin in my hand and looked at him. God he was beautiful, it took one well place kick in his shin to wake him; he snapped awake and looked around until his eyes settled on me. His eyes lit up then clouded with anger

"What do you want Phoenix to reject me some more." I looked at the table my heart clenched at the anger in his voice and I deserved it.

"Can I possible reject you more than I have?" his eyes brows pinched together and he looked away.

"Just tell me what you want so I don't have to look at you anymore. It hurts too much" he said voice just above a whisper. It was like the other day when he carried me in my room didn't happen. It was just in the moment thing and now it was back to reality.

"I came here to tell you something." I said my voice was rough form tears I was trying to hold back.

"I don't want to hear it Phi just go" I shook my head my heart clenched again from my nick name.

"Yeah you do, I wanted to say sorry" I said and he looked at me, and shook his head.

"No a sorry isn't going to fix what you said and did back in that cabin.

"I know Ace just let me finish." He looked at me for a moment and then leant back in his chair and crossed his arms over his bare chest. He looked at me and nodded. "I wanted to say sorry for lying to you." He frowned but didn't say anything.

"I lied when I told you I didn't love you, I just said that to make you hate me so we didn't get closer. Which I know now was stupid because we can't get any closer than love. But to tell you the truth I didn't know how much I really loved you until some wise old men verbally punched me in the face. I have pride but I know when I have to own up and take a blow and I'm doing that now. I was wrong you were right. What we have is much more than a fling I can't just end and be done with. I love you and I don't think I can be without you. I know you probably hate me for hurting you so much and to tell you the truth that's what bothered me the most. Not the pain I was feeling but the pain I caused you. I felt it from my empathy and it killed me knowing I did that to you. Now I'm not expecting you to forgive me or for you to take me back, I just needed to tell you. I wanted to try to take back some of the hurt I caused." So many emotions where going over his face it was hard to keep up with. I jumped when the waiter came over and asked if I wanted something, I looked at him like he spoke a different language my mind was on Ace and what he was going to say and do.

"Yeah we need the bill and a room" Ace said and my eyes shot back to him. He was looking at me intently and I knew he made up his mind, now the look he gave me scared me a little it was primal like he was going to teach me a lesson for making him angry. My pulse kicked up and I didn't know if it was form fear or excitement. The waiter picked up on it because his eyes where darting back and forth. Ace face split in to a triumphant smirk and I knew I was in trouble. The waiter cleared his throat.

"Um this way" he said and Ace stood and waited for me to stand. When I did he took my arm above the elbow and pulled me along. I was pulled past the door where I came in to a lobby and I looked around, I had no idea this place was a hotel as well.

"I planned on sleeping her anyway; I didn't want to go back to the ship where you were. It was getting harder to be around you." Ace said before he walked to the desk.

"oh Ace" I said and I tossed my bag of bile to him, he smiled and turned to the clerk at the desk, I over heard him say room 524 so I turned to the door that said stares and whipped it open and started to sprint up them. I didn't get more the fifty steps before I was abruptly stopped and pushed in to the wall. Worm lips crashed over mine and I automatically opened for the tongue that ran across my bottom lip. We both monad in to the kiss and I wrapped my arms around him holding him close. When we had to come up for air I pushed him away and sprinted up the stairs again. I just opened the door that said 5th floor when I was grabbed around the waist and pulled to a hard chest. Worm lips assaulted my neck and my eyes fluttered shut. Opened them and we started to move together down the hallway Aces hands where making it hard to keep moving and my eyes open.

"Ace where here" he spun me around and pushed me against our door and started to kiss me again I wrapped my legs around him and he growled. I heard jingling and I knew he was trying to unlock the door without stopping what he was doing.

"Fuck" he said breaking our kiss to look to unlock the door, I smiled and licked his ear and nibbled which made him groan. The door left my back when it was flown in and Ace carried me in and kicked the door shut. In two strides I was tossed on the bed and he crawled over me.

"I missed you" he whispered and I smiled, I did too we went to spending every moment together to not seeing each other for over 4 days not counting the time he was screaming at me from over the deck.

"I missed you to" I said and he kisses me slowly. It was different from the other kisses we shared on the island. They were frantic and desperate, this was passionate. He ran his hands up my shirt and along my ribs and I shivered. He started to unbutton my shirt and gave up and just ripped it open, buttons flew everywhere and I was glad I bought new ones. I toss my shirt to the side and worked on my pants, I found it time to rid him of his also and I was once again reminded that I like the fact he don't wear a shirt. He slid in me slowly and I closed my eyes and held on to him. He set a slow pace I wrapped my legs around him and held on with my eyes closed I could concentrate on the feeling of him moving in me. It was amazing I didn't want it to stop but I got the feeling in my belly and I knew I was going over the edge soon his movement became more erratic and I knew he was close also.

I was laying on top of Ace my ear to his chest listening to his heart return to normal. We didn't even bother un-tucking the blankets we just laid on top of them, we didn't need the warmth Ace was more the enough.

"Stay with me" Ace whispered I shook my head as much as I could with it buried in his chest.

"I can't" I felt him nod his fingers never stopping its trek through my hair.

"I know" he said

"Come with me" I felt his shake his head

"I can't" he whispered I nodded

"I know" I said closing my eyes I felt myself drifting.

"I love you" he said kissing the top of my head.

"I love you too" I replied before sleep took me.

I woke up with light blinding me, I opened my eyes and squinted to the window where the sun was just coming up and blinding me through the window, I mentally kicked myself for not closing the curtains but thought about when I would have time yesterday to do it. I felt Ace pressed against my back holding me like he didn't want to let me go, his arm draped over me and his leg in between my legs. It probably looked really uncomfortable but I have never been cozier in my life. The covers where still under us but I was so worm from Ace and I blessed the Gods that I found a logia fire user to be my lover since I was always cold. We fit together perfectly him being a head taller than me and small I fit in his embrace just like a puzzle piece. It was like we were made for each other but then I rolled my eyes at myself for thinking something so corny. I knew Ace was awake when I felt something grow and nudge my lower back.

"Sorry" he said not sounding sorry at all. I rolled over to look in to his face and noticed he also didn't look sorry with his big toothy smile on his face.

"Uh huh" I said which made him smile more, he lost his smile when I took him in my hand and stroked him. His eyes fluttered shut and he moaned. I leant over and kissed him and he pulled me closer I tossed my leg over him and moved him to my entrance.

"We have until afternoon" I whispered in a husky voice and he smiled and pushed all the way in.

We walked down the street towards the Moby holding hands. We both had stupid grins on our faces but I didn't care. Ace stopped suddenly and I frowned up at him.

"What's wrong love?" I asked and he smiled at my endearment.

"Do you want everyone to know" he asked tipping his head towards the Moby, I looked over at the big ship like I didn't know what he meant and shrugged.

"A lot of them probably suspect something anyway; I want everyone to know where together. Though some might get a little creeped out" I said and he frowned

"Creeped out?" I nodded and when he still looked like he didn't get it I rolled my eyes

"Yeah, not everyone knows you and Luffy where only foster brothers not real brothers. Some might still think me and you are real brother and sister." I said and his face turned from confusion to discuss and he gaged I laughed.

"Oh I see" he said I shrugged and started to walk towards the ship again grabbing Aces hand again.

"I still don't want to hide it. This is my first relationship and I don't want to spend it in hiding." Ace smiled his toothy grin I love.

"Good me neither."
