Falling for the Phoenix.
Request from Roxie14: Do one on how ace fell in love with Marco.
Ace sighed running his hand through his hair, he had been on this crew for about half a year now he has been with this crew and the thoughts of him actually taking the position of second division commander. It wasn't something he had ever thought of being third in command on a crew after Pops and Marco, he glanced over at the Phoenix who was talking to Thatch and Vista.
He grinned slightly to himself watching the Phoenix as he chuckled with the two of them, two people slipped up next to him, he glanced to his side seeing Haruta and Izo sat either side of him. "So Fire-Fist your eyes have been glued to our Phoenix all evening?" Haruta laughed, "Something you want to tell us?"
"Oh fuck off," Ace mumbled waving them away from him, " I don't know what you are on about."
"Oh of course you don't that's why you have been drooling over him," Izo laughed.
Ace pushed them both away and stepped out of the mess hall and onto the quite deck, he banged his head down onto the railing. He couldn't be gay could he, no he found the Vixen quite appealing when he came across her.
"You alright, yoi?" Marco asked stepping out into the cool night air.
"Y-yeah…." Ace stumbled over his words not looking the man in the eyes, "Why do you ask?"
"Well you have been avoiding me over the last few days, since Pops gave you the option of becoming second division commander," Marco stated.
Ace shook his head chuckling, "No not at all."
"Alright then why won't you look at me, yoi?" Marco asked.
Ace turned and faced the first division commander a large blush formed across his face as the Phoenix's blue eyes, he felt something run down his spine making the man shiver slightly. He never felt like this before his heart thudded slightly in his chest, he felt flushed, confused, happy and…. In love at the sight of the Phoenix.
Marco stepped forward a few paces until him and Ace were practically touching he ran his hand down the fire-fists face, "You want to tell me something?"
"N-N-No…. yes… no… yes…" Ace started arguing with himself.
Marco chuckled slightly watching him as he argued with himself, before he slammed his lips down onto the younger mans. Ace's eyes snapped open wide looking deep into Marcos eyes, he was confused and happy. His own hands threaded up into Marco's hair tugging the man closer slightly, whilst Marco's arms wrapped around Ace pulling him closer.
They broke after a few minutes and Ace breathed heavily looking confused at the older man, "What was that about?"
"Well Izo and Haruta told me that you liked me I just wanted to test the theory," Marco chuckled, "But it seemed like the two of them was right."
Ace grumbled something, "It's not like… I generally think I love you…. Not like a brother but… yeah…"
Marco chuckled and kissed him again, "I can go with that, yoi."
AN: They are so damn cute, Marco is more straight forward than Ace being more errrm…. What do I do.
Scarlet.
