I'm sorry for the late update- I chose in my infinite wisdom that Summer classes should be a thing. But there now over so I'm planning on updating most of the fics in the next couple days to the end of the week.

Huffing angrily Ace plopped onto his bed, which was on the other side of his room from his brothers. One of the teachers- the one with white hair and dark skin- had told him that they knew his power was fire and moved his bed to that side of his room to protect his brothers. Like he would hurt his brothers! He had never once burned them. These people were already stupid, Ace had decided, didn't they know his fire was him? Are they saying he would hurt his brothers?

Sabo hummed, running his fingers over the blanket on the bed slowly, a look of wonder on his face as he took in the dark walls and large window. The draws were filled with clothes, new clothes, that fit! Luffy's drawer was filled with reds, yellows, and bright colored shirts and blue jeans shorts as well as a multitude of others. Ace's was filled with darker colors, with splashes of oranges and fire reds. Sabo couldn't help, but smile at the blue, blue, blue clothes his own draw was covered with. Yes, this would be a good place.

Luffy climbed under the bed, his bed he decided as it had a red blanket and maybe he could paint a jolly roger on it? But he moved, quickly climbing up the walls, and under and over his brother's beds- giggling the entire time. Crawling up he moved his way across Ace's bed, bumping head first into his older brother's stomach.

"Ace?" He cried happily. "Look it! Look it!" his eyes gleamed.

"What Lu?" He said sourly.

"Look at all our new stuff! Do you- Do you think you could help me make a jolly roger? We can paint the walls!"

Ace's face split into a grin. Taking Luffy's hand in his, he dragged his brother off his bed. "Sure. Let's find some paint."

Looking at Sabo's distracted face of bliss as he gently touched their new clothes and moved them around in the dressers.

"Sabo, me and Lu are gonna go find something, we'll be right back!" He told the blond as pulled Luffy out the door.

"Paint, paint, where would we find paint?" Ace hummed as he began to walk down the

hallways.

"What about in here?!" Turning his head just in time to watch his brother open the door to the room across from their own.

"Luffy No!" he shouted, but it was too late. His brother's head peaked into the room, his arm stretching across the hallway and his hand still clutching onto Ace's.

"Hello!" His brother said cheerfully.

Ace shot forward. He pulled his brother's arm with him, making the rubber limb stretch and loop before it sprung back into place. Letting go of the smaller hand, Ace stepped up to stand behind his brother, glaring at the two teenagers before him.

Laying on one bed was a blond-haired teenager, his face set in a smile as he looked at his friend. Across from him, on the other bed, lay another blond, though this one had a lighter in one hand and in his other a ball of fire.

Luffy's eyes sparkled. "Ace! Ace! Look! He can do what you can do?!" Ace blinked, staring at the fire in the older teens hands in shock and interest, letting his grip slack and letting Luffy to squirm his hand free.

The blond with fire in his hand jumped a little at the announcement as Luffy shot forward to inspect the fire.

"Woah!" The first blond yelped, leaping forward to grab Luffy as he tried to stick his hand in the fire. The pyrokinetic pushed himself back, rolling over his bed to avoid the child's hands. While he rolled he had not extinguishing the fire allowing it spread to the bed.

Ace moved from the door way, thrusting his arms into the flames, he gritted his teeth and concentrated. Mine, he thought savagely to the lose flames, you are mine and you will not hurt my brother. I will not let you. You will obey, you will be mine, you will go out! Out, out, out, "Out, Out, Out" He hissed through his teeth. He didn't notice when he started saying his thoughts outload. But the red and yellow flames began to die. The two older blonds sat open mouthed, blinking in confusion, which allowed for Luffy to pull free and throwing himself at his brother's flames.

Giggling happily, Luffy twirled around his arms spread out, jumping up and down on the burning bed.

"Luffy." Ace angrily hissed as he began to pull the flames in and smother them.

Tilting his head to the side, he unintentionally widened his already large eyes to stare at his older brother. "What?"

Huffing in frustration, fondness, concern, and anger he shot his fist forward smacking his younger brother in the head.

"What did I tell you about other people?!"

"Uh… something about…" Luffy hummed, furrowing his brow and squatting down. "About not- not noting?!" Luffy said proudly.

"I'm not supposed to not." Luffy informed him.

"…. What the fuck does that mean?" Ace muttered.

"Woah, what's with the language, you're like seven." One of the blonds finally broke out of shock.

Glaring up at the taller teen Ace grabbed at Luffy, pulling him out the door by the scruff of his collar.

"Obviously there isn't any paint here. Let's try down the hall."

Nodding happily Luffy wiggled moving to step besides Ace grabbing his older brother's hand to hold. His mind was already on other things. Neither of them noticing the two-blonds exchange looks before the broader one jogged to catch up.

"Hey, hey wait up." Smiling at the two dark haired boys he told them. "Paint would be in the art room, I'll show you the way."

Scowling up at the taller teen Ace was about to refused when Luffy cheered.

"Thanks mister!"

"My name is Bobby. But most people here call me Iceman. It's our code name, our secret power name." He winked making Luffy's eyes twinkle as he stared up at him.

"What's my secret name?"

"Well I don't know that! You have to make one for yourself." The teen told them gently.

For a moment, the hall was almost silent Luffy's huffing and puffing as he tried to come up with a code name.

"What's the paint for?" Bobby asked lightly. Before Ace could make an excuse Luffy cheered. "We're gonna paint our walls! Ace said he'd help me make a jolly roger!"

Ace tensed, moving to stand in between the teen and his younger brother as he waited for the yelling, berating, and disapproval to start. Instead the blond hummed looking thoughtful.

"I can help you paint a ship." He said his grin stretching across his face in a mischievous manor. "Come on the art room is just one floor down."

Looking at his brother's smiling face and the teen's gentle indulgence he stared for a moment, falling behind.

"Are you coming hot stuff?" Bobby called out from down the hall.

Ace ran forward, staring straight ahead before saying. "Ace. My name is Ace. And that's Luffy."

Fun Fact I am a huge fan of Bobby and Pyro!
