I'm posting this early cause I've got school, work, and homework tomorrow and I have no idea when I'll be home :D
No warnings for this chapter, some mushiness but that's it~ also in the same verse as the previous 2~
Enjoy!
Ace sat in the crows' nest of the Moby, watching with rapt attention to the ever slowly changing sky. He enjoyed dusk shifts because he got to enjoy the sunset in relative peace, with only light sounds from his siblings reaching up this high.
He let a light sigh escape his mouth as light blue gave way to a darker shade, followed by dark purple clouds, lavender sky, yellow and orange rays, and the slowly downing sun.
Deep red littered the horizon every now and then as a cloud glowed with the sun's powers.
For some reason the ocean always looked prettier with mottled colors reflecting off of clear waters, especially during this time of year.
Another deep breath through his nose had Ace pulling up his knees and resting not only his arms but also his head on them. His eyes lowered and he just allowed himself to absorb the peacefulness.
It was so nice…
Several "thwumps" pierced through his haze of serenity, Ace's head popping up at the sound.
Bright turquoise blue soon took over the warm colors of dying day and one of the commanders of second division smiled widely.
The graceful form of the phoenix always lifted his spirits and enticed the fire within to come out and play. Especially when said phoenix was carrying a disheveled top-hatted gentleman.
"Were you kidnapped by a mythical bird, Sabo?" Ace's voice was teasing but he enjoyed the glare from the dark blue eyes all the same.
"Not funny, flame brain. I was busy."
Sabo's voice was hard but his eyes were saying joy. It must have been some work their other brothers pushed on to him; which is fine, now they should know better than to depend on Sabo to do their work.
Ace didn't like his Sabo-time being taken up by paperwork that wasn't even his. Marco probably didn't either, hence the kidnapping.
The phoenix was careful as he placed Sabo down a little ways away from Ace and the freckled youth frowned. Why couldn't Marco put the blond down closer? Ace wanted to cuddle dammit.
It became apparent soon after when the large blue fiery bird settled between both teenagers.
Okay this was better.
Phoenix cuddles
Okay this was better.
Phoenix cuddles rocked.
"Enjoying the sunset during watch, Ace?" Sabo asked after a while, the voice soft and now filled with sleepiness.
"Always, Sab. I volunteer for dusk shift pretty often, after all." Ace's voice was just as light, with just as much sleepiness as his still human lover.
The phoenix between them cooed lightly and wrapped them up in his flaming wings, causing them both to move along and cuddle closer.
Solitary closeness brought them so much peace that the threesome stayed up in the crows' nest long after the sun was hidden by the sea, warm colors melting to a solid black.
But it was the combination of his lovers and the dying sun that made Ace the absolute happiest. There truly was nothing like it.
"It'd be nicer if there was some skin on you that I could caress, Sabo, yoi."
"Leave my clothes out of this dammit! You ruined the moment!"
