Welp~ we are almost done guys~ I am so proud of me :D
Also I was planning to make tomorrow's super long cause I have so much extra wordage, but since I didn't finish it before vacation and I have a pressing Religious Studies paper to write, I'll just post the beginning part :D and post the rest of it later~
WARNINGS: EXTREME ADORABLE! I DIDN'T PLAN ON IT, BUT IT IS!
ENJOY!
Sabo and Ace had never seen a fireplace like this one before. The crew made it to "barbeque" some of the meat that they harvested off of the sea king.
Marco had immediately pulled them both to the strange construction of rocks to sit by it, pulling them down on either side of him with such enthusiasm that neither younger pirate could deny him.
Just as they settled down next to him, Marco pulled them both closer with fiery wings and cooed softly as suddenly the collection of stones got hotter.
For a brief moment Sabo feared the heat would trigger another one of his panic attacks, but to his surprise the fire merely warmed him. He blinked rapidly as blue flames started to reach past the rocky walls, not hot but not cold either.
Both Ace and Sabo were completely enraptured by the sight, even as Marco started to sing one of his phoenix songs, various siblings breaking out into a dance at the sound.
It was quite intoxicating to watch, the fire soothing something neither pirate thought needed to be soothed. But Sabo was still worried.
Not necessarily about what the fire could potentially do to him, but what Ace's reaction would be to the lovely flame. Especially with Marco cuddling Ace in close.
The last time Ace had been holding Sabo so near a fire he didn't create, he was unable to hold himself back and freaked the hell out of the Spade Pirates. He didn't think that the Whitebeards would react any differently.
"Ace…don't you dare…"
Sabo tried to get through to Ace before the fire intoxicated him even more, but his black eyes were already glazed over, glowing blue in reflection of the flames inside of the fireplace.
Marco cooed softly at Sabo's words, half transformed already in reaction to his own attraction to the incubating fire. The elder blond threaded his beak through black hair, placing each strand ever so delicately in to place, pulling them both closer to his warm body.
Didn't stop Ace though.
Despite his absolute love of physical affection and constant desire for more, Ace was already caught up in the flames, watching them flicker between heavy rocks with a one track mind.
"Ace!"
The yell came from Thatch, his voice angry as he watched the freckled man kick the rocky fireplace over, exposing the flames, both orange and blue, to his searching gaze.
A sort of growl came out of his throat as the chef tried to stop Ace from whatever it was he thought the younger was doing, and Sabo sighed heavily at Thatch's thrown off face.
All of the Whitebeards, including Pops himself, watched with horror and fascination as Ace carefully nudged the fish away with pale bare feet, stepping in the flames with no fear at all.
"ACE!"
Several of their siblings were alarmed as the flame head just spun slowly in a circle, padding on the ground not unlike a cat before he just…flopped into the fire.
A coo of confusion escaped Marco's beak as he watched Ace settle into the flames, making a noise of understanding as the flames suddenly grew in size.
Ace was completely settled into the fire now, releasing his own light coos as the flames licked over his bare skin, nesting into himself even as the whole crew watched with something akin to awe.
"Oh really now, Ace." Sabo sighed again, groaning as suddenly Marco was in full phoenix form, nestled into Ace's side in the fire, cuddling in close to the warm body also basking in the roaring heat.
"Now I've got two fire-attracted idiots to watch, I mean really."
Marco and Ace's response to their lover's complaint was to just coo and nuzzle in closer together, looking at the scarred blond with expectation.
"Oh hell no. I'm surprised I haven't panicked by now, like hell I'm getting into that fire with you two…"
Sabo turned away, and walked shakily over to a part of the beach that wasn't engulfed in flames, where he could just watch the waves as the rest of his siblings watched Ace and Marco cuddling in fire in peace.
Really now. Wasn't one flame weirdo enough for the poor blond? Why did it have to be two?
Hope you enjoyed!
