Hello everyone, here is the next chapter
This is still a bit of explanation and set up for later in the story. There is still no smut, but there might be in the next chapter, we'll see
Hope you enjoy
Read and relax
"Okay, down on your knees." Ace nodded and complied, going down on his knees, and before he could think, he automatically moved his hands to be behind his head. This was how it had been the last few times, and it almost just felt natural now. "No," Stated Marco, making Ace frown. "I didn't say put your arms behind your head." Ace blinked, now realising he had put them behind his head without thinking. "Oh, I'm sorry." He said as he moved his hands to be down by his sides in a relaxed manner. Marco nodded at him. "Good. Now, put your hands behind your head, yoi." Ace frowned. "But you just said…" Marco nodded. "I know. But I need you to listen and do only what I say. Not go into an automatic stance, but listen to what I say, yoi." Ace nodded, that made sense, and he moved his hands to be behind his head again, doing it slowly as he felt a bit unsure. "Just relax," Started Marco, "Just breathe and listen to my words." Ace nodded, feeling a bit more sure of himself. When he was in the position with hi shands behind his head, Marco nodded. "Good. Can you tell me who you are?" Ace frowned. "I'm… Ace." Marco shook his head. "Full name, yoi." Ace nodded. "Ace D Portgas." Marco nodded, moving over to him and moved his hands to his face, before Marco kissed him. "You have no idea how much this means, yoi." Ace nodded a bit. "It's new, but I kind of maybe like it a bit." Marco nodded. "Makes me glad to hear. How do you feel in this position? Okay? Maybe we can move on to something else, yoi." Ace nodded slowly. "S-sure." Marco frowned a bit. "Do you feel as if you can? I don't want to push you, yoi." Ace shook his head. "No, we can. I'm just a bit unsure, seeing how the last thing went…" Marco nodded. "I won't ask for words like that yet. I think we can do more physical things, you seem to react better to that, yoi." Ace nodded, that sounded to be a good idea. He didn't know why words were hard for him, but it was for some reason. He was glad saying his name had gone by fine.
Marco then moved back a bit. "Tell me if this is too much; crawl over here." Ace nodded, using a second before he slowly complied, crawling over to Marco on all fours. It felt… to be honest, it felt degrading. He was crawling. But he managed to crawl over to Marco, before he moved into the stance with his hands behind his head. Marco moved to crouch down. "No, relax now." Ace nodded and did and Marco continued. "How did that feel, yoi?" Ace felt himself get an unsure look, not sure if he should be honest or not. "I don't know…" Marco shook his head. "No, you know. What is it? Please tell me, yoi. I need to know so I know how fast to do this." Ace nodded and took a breath. "It felt… degrading." Marco nodded. "I've heard that before. But know this; no matter what I ask, it will never be to degrade you. I know some things will feel like it, especially later as I will do more vocal things, often if you make mistakes I ask what you did wrong. But it will never be to degrade you, I need you to know this, yoi." Ace nodded, that made him feel a bit better, but also unsure, knowing this would get harder. "What if… What if I can't do it?" Marco nodded. "We will, probably soon, introduce safe words. It's words we will use to see how you're faring, and I will always listen to them. Some make their own words, many use the traffic lights method; green is go, yellow is slow down, and red is stop and take a break. And, we will have a safe word, which if said, I will stop completely, stop the scene, and comfort you if you need it. Never be afraid to use any of these words, if you are, we can't do this, yoi." Ace nodded, it made sense. "Okay, that makes me feel a bit better. Why don't we have words now?" Marco smiled. "Because I know you will manage this. If you want, we can introduce these words now." Ace nodded, before he shook his head. "No, we can wait until you think it fits. How do I know what to say when?" Marco chuckled. "You're curious, which is good. Green is go, everything is fine. Yellow is take it slower, but continue. And red is stop. Last week, when I asked for you to say who you belonged to, you could have said red, and I would have stopped, as I did, yoi." Ace nodded, that made sense.
"What, what will our safeword be?" Marco hummed. "Something you chose, and I will always listen to it. You have a word in mind, yoi?" Ace hummed. Did he? Maybe he did. "Can I change it if I want to?" Marco nodded. "You can, just be sure to update me." Ace nodded. "How about… cold. I don't like being cold." Marco nodded. "Interesting choice. We can try it, but know it can't be something that can accidentally come up, yoi. What if you're cold once? What will you say then?" Ace blinked. He hadn't thought about that. "Oh… How about snow?" He felt that wouldn't be something accidentally said. Marco nodded. "That fits better. Let's try it out, and have snow for now. Since I've already explained the words and we've chosen one safeword, how about we start using them? If I ask how you feel, I want a color, every time I ask. Even if I ask every 10 seconds. Understand? We will work with the traffic light rule for now, and we can change it later. You need to get used to these words, as they are important. You need to trust them, yoi." Ace nodded, he could do that. "Okay." Marco nodded. "Let's try it out. Hands behind your head, and tell me how you feel, yoi." Ace nodded and complied with his hands, and when they were, he almost said 'I feel fine', but that wasn't what Marco wanted. "Green." Marco nodded and smiled. "Good. Let's have this for now. Let's take a break." Ace nodded, and stood up slowly, before they continued their day normally. Ace felt fine and was glad they were moving forward.

"Ace," Started Marco, having a small disapproving frown. "Don't eat so much, yoi." Ace blinked, moving his fork down. What? "I- what?" Marco shook his head. "You eat so much, yoi. It's not good for you, yoi." Ace swallowed. He had sort of hidden his hunger to Marco, always eating a lot when they weren't together, but as they were more together now, he couldn't hide it. "I'll try." Marco shook his head. "No, you will. You've never eaten so much, yoi." Ace nodded, feeling a bit down. He didn't want to disappoint Marco. He would at least give it a try, maybe he didn't need to eat so much. as the meal continued, he ate a lot slower, and ate about half what he usually ate, and hoped it would go fine.
When a week had passed, he felt his stomach start to hurt, but Marco didn't want him to eat a lot. So he wouldn't. He was eating about half what he usually did, was that why his stomach was hurting? He hoped not, he needed to do this for Marco. When another week passed, his stomach really hurt, as he tried to not eat a lot, and he was practically living with Marco now, rarely back home, usually for trips to get clothes and shower, but he had gotten clothes to Marco's home as well. And when evening came, they tried for another scene, Ace being down on his knees and hands behind his head, but as he was in the position, his stomach really started to ache, actually feeling more like pain than aching. He had to fight to keep his hands up, he wanted to take them down and hold around his stomach, it hurt so bad, and being in this position didn't help, as he was stretched a bit up. "-ce?" Ace blinked, looking at Marco, who had a frown. "How do you feel?" Ace blinked. "Fin- green." Marco shook his head a bit. "Are you sure? You look to be in pain?" Ace was on his way to answer, when a groan made its way out instead, Ace moving his hands down to his stomach. It hurt so bad. "Ace?" Ace felt a hand coming to his shoulder, Ace opening his eyes, not sure when he closed them. "I- it hurts!" Marco looked at him worriedly. "What hurts, yoi?" Ace shook his head. "My stomach!" Marco looked at him worriedly, before he moved to help him up. "Let's get you to the hospital, yoi." That sounded to be a good idea, and they headed out.
When they got to the hospital, Ace felt as if his stomach was rolling into itself, almost as if it was trying to eat itself. When they got in to see a doctor, they ran a few tests, giving him some pain medicine that worked, the doctor soon came back. "So, you're not injured, but you seem to have early starvation. Have you been eating less?" Ace blinked. What? Starvation? It had Marco shocked too. "What?" Marco then looked at him. "Have you been starving yourself, yoi?" The doctor gave them a look. "Let me give you a minute." Then the doctor left, and Ace looked at Marco. "You said… I ate too much." Marco blinked. "But, you can't starve yourself, Ace! It's dangerous! If you need to eat much, you need to. I didn't know, yoi. Why didn't you say so?" Ace blinked. "I- I didn't know it would affect me… I didn't want to disappoint you…" Marco shook his head. "No, you wouldn't have disappointed me. If you need to eat, you need to, yoi." Ace gave a sheepish look. "I'm, sorry, I just felt as if I should listen to your words." Marco sighed. "I want you to listen to my words, but not harm yourself or do anything dangerous or something you don't want to do, yoi." Ace nodded, he got it, he shouldn't have done this. "So," Started Marco, "How about we head to a restaurant close by, and get you some food, yoi?" Ace smiled. "Yeah, I would like that." They then spoke a bit more with the doctor, before they headed out to the restaurant, Ace eating until he actually felt full, making his aching go away. As they were eating, Marco moved a hand to his. "Listen, I need you to be honest with me, and say what you think. If we can't do that, we can't be together. We can't do anything in the dom/sub area if you can't be honest, yoi." Ace nodded. "I get it, I feel bad. I'm sorry I did this and worried you." Marco shook his head. "Just, make sure it doesn't happen again, yoi." Ace nodded, he would do that.
Things were fine.
