Marco sent a look at him. "Ace, could you go fetch some drinks for us?" Ace nodded, and went to the kitchen and got two glasses of soda, before he went back to the living room and sat down, before they watched their show, which was nice. They had some small conversation through it, just enjoying each other's company. When it was over, Marco looked at him. "How about we head out and eat, yoi?" Ace nodded, that sounded good. "Yeah, sure." Marco nodded. "Anywhere you want to go?" Ace thought for a second. "Maybe pizza? Or maybe pasta?" Marco hummed. "How about pasta, we had pizza last week." That sounded good. "Yeah, that sounds nice, sir." Marco smiled, and leaned in and kissed him. He knew Marco loved it when he said sir, and he enjoyed it too. It felt nice.

They then went out and ate, and had some fun, before they returned home. It had been a nice day. When the next day came, they headed to Mika's to meet the others, and that was nice too. They spoke about this and that, and then they got into some bedroom stuff, Shachi mentioning that when he gave head, he didn't enjoy swallowing, so it usually came on his face, which had Mika huff. "Well, it is all fun and games until the semen tries to inseminate the eye." Ace blinked. "Wait, it does that?" Mika nodded. "Learned from experience." It sounded painful. "Oh, didn't know that." Mika chuckled. "Not many do." That was interesting. Sounded painful, but interesting, and he didn't want to find this out by experience. He trusted Mika. Shachi shrugged. "Always close them. Didn't know that either. Good to know." Mika nodded. "Yeah, it sucks as it hurts like a bitch." All of them nodded.

Mika then asked how everyone was doing, and when it was his turn to answer, he hummed. "Things are fine. Marco says we might start not doing scenes." Zoro nodded. "That's good!" It was, and he nodded. "Yeah. But I'm not sure how it would work. How it would fit in with our day." Mika nodded. "I felt the same, but it starts out slow, small things he asks you to do, or say. It might feel a bit weird at the start, but you will adapt." Ace nodded, that made sense. They then spoke a bit more, before they left and headed home. When they got home, it was late, so they headed to bed.

(*)

The next morning, he woke up to a tingling in his lower regions, and when he opened his eyes and somewhat woke up, he noticed he didn't have his covers over him and Marco was currently stroking his member. "Good morning, yoi." Said Marco seductively, and Ace chuckled as he moaned. "Morning." Ace then moved his body and straddled Marco. "Are we gonna have a sexy morning?" Marco nodded. "Yes, yoi." Ace chuckled and leaned down and kissed Marco, grinding against him. Both were naked, Marco must have slipped his boxers off when he was asleep.

Marco then moved himself a bit and grabbed the bottle of lube from the desk, coating his fingers, before he started to prepare him, using some time, but he didn't mind, it felt good, Marco was hitting the right spots with his experienced fingers. With each movement, he was pressing against his prostate, making him moan out. When he was prepared enough, Marco coated his member, before moving it to his hole and making him move down on it. He then started to move up and down, and after a few minutes, Marco gave a small growl as moved them around, lifting his hips up as he stood on his knees, pushing hard inside, making him moan as he grabbed the sheets, and Marco leaned down to his ear. "I want to do you fast and hard, yoi." said Marco in a husky voice, which went straight to his member. He wasn't going to argue with that as this felt amazing.

In their position, Marco held his hips up, making his upper back be against the bed, which made it so Marco could push in deeper than he had before, and move even faster. It made him moan more out and drool started to move down his cheek as he clutched the sheets. It felt really good. He then felt he was nearing his finish, and he tried to hold back, but was sure he wouldn't be able to. "I- I can't hold it!" He yelled out, and Marco grunted. "Yes, you can, yoi." Ace shook his head. "No! I can't!" He was going to lose it, he couldn't hold it, it would drive him insane if he did, but he would do his best.

He did his best to hold back, but as he did, he also clenched around Marco, who grunted. Maybe he could get Marco off faster, and started to concentrate on that, to make Marco cum even faster. It was hard, he was at his limit, when Marco leaned a bit down to his ear. "Come now." He said in a husky voice, and that was it for Ace and he let go, almost yelling out as he did as he really needed to cum. He felt Marco push in deep and came deep within him, and stayed inside for a bit, before he slipped out.

(*)

Marco then laid down next to him, and Ace tried to catch his breath, before he moved to his side and looked at Marco. "What a nice morning." Marco nodded as he hummed. "Yes, it was, yoi." Ace then gave a sigh, moving an arm over Marco's chest. "I'm still tired though." Marco chuckled. "Then sleep, we have nowhere to be today." It was Saturday, and he actually had the week off, which would be nice. Marco also had the week off, as they had planned to just enjoy each other's company and relax.

When Ace woke up later, not even realising he had fallen asleep again, he was alone in bed. He then dressed and headed out to the living room, where Marco was watching TV, giving a hum to him. "Almost thought you would sleep past noon, yoi." Ace chuckled as he sat down, looking at the clock and it was half past 11. "Nah, just almost." They then watched some TV, before they headed out to the mall and had some fun. When they got home again, they practiced sitting in the corner for a bit, and Ace managed to sit alone for about 5 minutes, Marco still in the room, before he felt it was too much and he quit it, feeling his heart race, hands shaking, and eyes burning. Marco did praise him, which felt nice. He really liked the praises.

They then sat down on the couch and watched some TV, and after a bit of time, Marco suggested they do a scene, which had Ace hum. "Sure, but how will it be when we start not doing scenes?" Marco chuckled. "I'm glad you're interested, yoi. We will start slowly. I will probably ask for things, like for you to repeat yourself, or to say something, Before I start to ask you to do things. The most common things happen in bed at the start, not going to lie, yoi. And then we just feel what fits and such, I will go slow." Ace nodded, that sounded good and nice. "Yeah, sounds good." They then did a quick scene, before they stretched again, and Ace managed everything this time. Which made him feel good inside. He really had improved.

The next day, they spent it at home, and when evening came, Ace hummed. "How about we head to bed, sir." He added the sir, knowing Marco liked it. Marco sent a look at him, and leaned forward. "Say that again, yoi." Marco whispered. Ace chuckled, before he half closed his eyes. "How about we head to bed~ Sir~." He said seductively, making Marco moan a bit out, before he leaned in and connected his lips to his, and Marco moaned into the kiss as Marco's hands found his chest. They then made quick work of getting to bed and having some fun, before they went to sleep. When the next day came, they enjoyed the day home, and when evening came, them watching some show where two got married, Ace chuckled. "You know what would be fun? Getting married." Marco chuckled. "Yeah, that would be nice, yoi. But I don't think we should rush it." Ace nodded and he agreed. Many rushed into marriage, and then it didn't work out. But he did hope he wouldn't break it off with Marco, that they would last. Marco then hummed. "But it would be nice. Then you'll be Ace Fishback, yoi." Ace frowned. He wouldn't take Marco's name. "No, I will still be Ace D Portgas." Marco frowned a bit. "But it is common you would take my name, yoi." That wasn't a given. "Maybe, but I won't. I will be Portgas." He wasn't going to change the last thing he had with his mother, the only thing he had to honor her by. He wouldn't give that away. He knew he hadn't told that to Marco, on why his name was Portgas, as it never had come up. Marco didn't know he had had his name legally changed from Gol to Portgas. He should probably tell why.

As he was about to say he would explain, Marco frowned more. "I want to do it right, and that means you would take my name, yoi." Ace blinked. "It doesn't make it wrong that I won't do that. My name-" Marco shook his head. "I think you're being unreasonable, yoi. You should take my name." Ace shook his head, going to explain. "But I won't! My name-" "I get it." Said Marco, cutting him off again. "You don't want my name, yoi? Is it that terrible of a name?!" No, it wasn't that. And he was on his way to speak when Marco spoke before him. "You're being unreasonable. I am sure if it had been one of your old boyfriends, you wouldn't hesitate, yoi. Which is more than a few!" Ace blinked. Marco said what? He was back at this? Now he felt hurt, and he gave a hurt look to Marco. "I guess we disagree then. And it's not that many! Why are you bringing this up again!" Then Ace took his coat and left, not wanting to hear more of Marco, Marco not even trying to stop him. Marco was way out of line.

He was about to head to Luffy and Sabo, to cool off, But he remembered how last time went, how Sabo allowed Marco in when he was still mad. So, Ace called Violet, and she said he could stay. He didn't say why, not wanting to tell over the phone. So, he headed there. When he got there and explained, Violet frowned. "He really said that?" Ace nodded, still feeling hurt by it. "Yes! He did!" Violet shook her head. "Well, he's way out of line. That was very wrong of him." He was glad Violet agreed with him. He would stay with her for a bit.

-x-

Marco sighed, now having cooled down and he felt bad. He shouldn't have acted that way or thrown out that last comment. That was just mean in fact, and he knew it, but he was mad and annoyed. Why was Ace being so stubborn? It was common to take the other's name. Marco sighed again, Ace was probably at Luffy's and Sabo's, and he should apologize for the last comment. But he felt Ace had some part in this that was his fault. He shouldn't be so stubborn. He tried to call Ace, and not surprisingly, it went to voicemail. He then tried a few more times, before he called Sabo, who seemed shocked he called. "Marco? Why're you calling me? Is Ace fine?" Marco blinked. It had been a few hours now, and they only lived half an hour away. "Isn't Ace there, yoi?" When Sabo spoke up, he could hear he had a frown. "No. Why would he be here?" Marco sighed, now feeling worried about Ace. Why wasn't he at their place? "We had a fight, yoi. And he left." He heard Sabo sigh. "Again? But he's not here. Maybe he went to cool off, or maybe he went to Violet." That could be. That would make sense.

"What did you fight about?" Asked Sabo, and Marco figured he could tell. "It was stupid. We spoke about marriage- not that we will marry any time soon- but I mentioned he would take my name and he said no, yoi." He was about to continue, to say what he had said, when Sabo spoke. "Of course he wouldn't take your name! He would never dishonor his mother." Marco frowned as that didn't make sense in his mind. "Dishonor his mother, yoi?" He could hear Sabo had a frown. "Yeah, he legally changed his name years ago, to honor his late mother. He wasn't born as Portgas, he was born as Gol. He changed it to honor his mother, it's the only thing he has connected to her." Marco closed his eyes. Now he felt horrible. He didn't know that. But, Ace had tried to speak, probably to say that, but he hadn't let him. He really feels bad now. "I didn't know that, yoi." He should have known.

"Well," Started Sabo. "You should have. Ace would have told that. Let him cool off, he will probably call soon." Marco didn't believe that. Because of that last comment, which was just mean. "Yeah, probably, yoi." He said, not wanting to say now what he had said. He then hung up, and tried Ace again. But no answer. He was then about to call Violet, to ask if Ace was there, but then remembered he didn't have her number, or last name. He didn't want to call Sabo for it right now, he would wait a bit. Maybe Ace would call or answer his call.

When he called again an hour later, still no answer, he sent a message, that he messed up and felt bad, and to please call him. He got no answer, and guessed he wouldn't get anywhere today, and would let Ace cool off, and try again tomorrow. He did his best to relax and try to tell he would fix things tomorrow, but he was still worried for Ace and felt bad. There was a big chance Ace was at Violet's, but he wasn't 100% sure, making him worried, and he felt really bad, and hoped he hadn't just royally screwed up. Or, he had. He just needed to fix this. But he couldn't do that without Ace speaking to him. He did his best to sleep, but barely got an hour, trying to reach Ace all night, but no luck. No answer, to either calls or messages. But he got it. He had really been out of line with that last comment.

When the next day came, he called Sabo and asked for Violet's number, which he thankfully had. When he first called, it was answered by "This is Violet." And when he said it was Marco, he didn't get another word out before she hung up. Well, she wouldn't speak to him, which was bad, but also most likely meant Ace was there. Which was good. He knew where Ace was. He didn't know where Violet lived, he could probably ask Sabo for it, but he wanted to speak with Ace first, he needed to get through to Ace.

-x-

Ace sighed as he sat down on the sofa, getting another text from Marco, to just answer him so they could speak. But why would he do that? Marco really had been an ass. And he knew he wasn't overacting as Violet was with him. She was good at keeping her calm and thinking rationally. She did say he should just send a message to Marco, saying where he was and would be gone for a bit, but he didn't want that. He didn't want to speak with Marco right now, which Violet did get, but was against. But, she would support him. He also knew Marco knew where he was as he had called Violet earlier, but she had supported him and hung up, which he was glad about. She wouldn't just let him here without his approval, like Sabo did.

He was sitting on the couch, and Violet came and sat down next to him. "Ace, at least send a message, please. Tell him you're mad, you're here, and you will speak later." Ace sighed, he probably should, even though he didn't want to. "Fine." Ace then took his phone out, seeing the dozen of messages he had gotten from Marco, and he used a few minutes to write, not sure what to say. I'm at Violets, and I'm not coming home soon. I'll speak to you when I feel like it. He then put his phone away, and within a minute, there was a message back. Please just answer your phone, we need to speak. As he had read it, Marco called, and Ace sent it to voicemail. He didn't want to speak now. Violet gave a sigh next to him. "Speak with him, Ace." Ace shook his head. "No, not ready yet. I'm still mad." Violet nodded. "I get that, and you have every right to be mad, but just speak with him." Ace sighed. "Not right now. Maybe in a bit." Violet let out a breath. "Fine."

They then watched some show on Netflix, and Ace did enjoy it, but knew he needed to deal with Marco as well. He would try to speak with Marco later.

-x-

Marco sat in the living room and looked at the Tv, trying to concentrate on it, but he couldn't. He missed Ace. And he knew he had messed up. He just hoped Ace would talk with him and come home.

Marco took his phone up when he got a message, glad when he saw it was Ace. But when he read it, he felt his blood go cold. It's over. It said, nothing more. Was this it? This silly fight was it? Or not silly, he had been mean, but was it enough to break up with him? Ace at least seemed to think so. He didn't want to break up, he really liked Ace, hell, he loved him. Ace was perfect, just so perfect. And this was it? He messed up so bad Ace just broke it off with a text? Yes, he had been way out of line, but enough to break it off? Marco didn't know what to say, what to answer, or if he should answer at all. He read the message again, and it didn't change, there was no follow up message. No reason or explanation. Or, he knew why, it was because of his comments. Marco took a deep breath, before he decided to just send a small reply for now, and then try and think this over. He wouldn't give up so fast, he needed Ace. He would just think this over and find the best response.

-x-

Ace blinked as he read the reply to Marco. Okay… Ace then read his message, and he realised he just messed up, and sent another message. The realtor just spoke to me, it's all over with everything, the payments and legal stuff. That was what he had meant. It didn't take a minute before there was a response. Oh, good. Let's talk, please. Ace sighed, he probably just scared Marco. He should probably speak to him. He then waited a minute, but Marco didn't call. And frankly, he didn't want to talk, but they could text. Why were you so mean? He texted. He got an answer fast. I was mad, but that's no excuse. Just please, talk to me. Ace sighed, that really wasn't an excuse. Say what you want to say. He texted back, and it took some time, but Marco texted back. I was way out of line with that last comment. That was just mean. I know why you won't take my name, and I'm so sorry, I mean it. Ace took a breath, Marco at least apologized. He then showed the messages to Violet, who nodded. "See, he's sorry. Next time he calls, answer." Ace sighed, he probably should. Ace took a breath as he sent a text back. Fine, you're sorry, but I'm still staying with Violet for a day or three. He was still hurt and mad. It took just a few seconds before he got an answer. I get it. Just come home again. Ace would, he would just spend some time here to be sure he was completely calm before he got back home. He sent an ok, that he would.

He then spent the day with Violet, and when the evening came, he got a goodnight text from Marco, which was sweet in a way. He did decide he wasn't as mad anymore, and sent one back, he then stayed at Violet's for some days, before he sent a message to Marco that he would be coming home around 9pm, and if he should stop and bring some food. Marco did say no, that they had food and he wanted him home as fast as possible.

When he did get home later, Marco met him in the hallway and hugged him. "I'm sorry, Ace." Ace sighed. "We need to talk." Marco nodded and let go and they sat down in the living room, and Ace gave a look to Marco. "You're all about saying I need to trust you, since we're doing what we are doing. So, why don't you trust me?" Marco took a breath. "I do trust you, yoi." Ace shook his head. "You obviously don't. How can I trust you when you don't trust me?" Marco sighed. "Ace, I am really sorry, yoi." Ace let out a breath. "You keep saying that, but I'm not sure I believe it." Marco took a breath, moving his hands to his. "Ace, I messed up. I shouldn't have said that, or cut you off, yoi. Just please, I trust you, I love you." Ace sighed. "And yet, it doesn't seem like it." Marco seemed to be on his way to answer, when Ace shook his head a bit. "I just want to go to bed right now. Okay?" Marco nodded. "Okay. Do you want me in the same bed, or should I take the guest room?" Ace thought for a second. "No, yeah, we can sleep together." That had Marco smile.

They then headed to bed, and when he was lying down, Marco brought an arm over his side and leaned in to kiss the nape on his neck. "Know I love you, goodnight, yoi." Ace nodded. "Yeah, goodnight." It did feel a bit good to have Marco's arm over him, but he still felt a bit hurt. It didn't take him long to fall asleep, and when he woke up, Marco was still behind him with an arm over him, which was moving slowly, indicating Marco was awake. Ace then moved to sit up, and Marco did as well. "Did you sleep well, yoi?" Ace gave a small nod before a small smile. "Yeah." Marco nodded. "Good. Today is when we usually head to the others, do you want to go, yoi?" Ace thought, before he nodded. "I do." He did, he could use some more minds on this, and he needed to see someone else than Marco too.

He didn't speak much with Marco the next hours, before they headed to Mika's, and when they got there, he sat down with the other subs. "Hey, Ace." Started Mika. "What's up? You look troubled." Ace then explained what had happened, and the other 3 blinked when he had. "Wow," Started Zoro. "That was mean." Shachi nodded. "Yeah. That was mean." Ace nodded, he felt the same.

Ace then gave a sigh. "I don't really know what to do. How to fix this." Mika hummed. "How about- I read this somewhere- you sit down, look into each other's eyes, hold hands, and speak of whatever you need to speak about and be honest." Ace blinked. "Sounds… cheesy." Shachi hummed himself. "But it might work. You never know." Ace nodded, that was true. "I will try it. Hopefully it can help." Zoro nodded. "Have you done anything since the fight?" Ace sighed. "No, I came home yesterday, so we haven't had the time, and I don't feel like it." Zoro frowned a bit. "Didn't you say this fight was 5 days ago?" Ace nodded. "Yeah, but I stayed with a friend for a bit. I just needed away for a bit." Mika moved a hand to his. "It will turn out fine. You will sort this out." Ace really hoped so. He really did like Marco, but he didn't want to be with someone who didn't trust him. He really should try speaking with Marco. The rest of the stay went okay, and when they were in the car on the way home, Ace just sat silently, and when they were halfway, Marco sent a small look at him. "You're very silent, Ace." Ace shrugged. "Don't have anything to say." Marco nodded, before he took a breath. "Are we okay, yoi?" Ace thought for a few seconds. "I don't know."

Marco moved a hand to his leg. "Know that I care for you, yoi." Ace turned to look out the window, not sure what to do. He would try what Mika had said when they got home. He should probably tell that to Marco. He spoke as he looked out the window. "Mika gave me a tip. How we might get past this." Marco squeezed his leg. "Okay, what is it, yoi?" Ace sighed. "Apparently, it is to sit down, hold each other's hands, look into each other's eyes, and say what we need to say." The hand on his leg moved a bit. "Yeah, that sounds like something we should do, yoi. Do you want to do it?" Ace sighed. "I don't know." The hand squeezed his leg. "We should try, Ace." They probably should. He gave a small nod. "Yeah, we should."

The rest of the ride home was in silence, and when they got home, Marco sat down on the couch. "Shall we try, yoi?" Ace nodded and sat down. Marco then moved his hands to his, and Ace let out a breath, before he looked at Marco. Marco squeezed his hands. "What do you need to say, yoi?" Ace took a breath. "I need to say, I need you to trust me. I can't have you not trusting me. Screw the dom/sub thing trust right now. I need you to trust me, as a boyfriend." Marco nodded, giving a breath. "I get it, and I am really sorry, yoi. I really shouldt have said that I don't know why I did. I trust you, Ace. I do. I just hope you can believe that, yoi." Ace sighed. "I don't know what I believe right now." Marco leaned his head against his, looking into his eyes. "Ace, I both love you and trust you. I barely got any sleep when I didn't know where you were." Ace was at least a bit glad by that, even if that might be mean.

Ace took a breath. "How can I be sure that it's true? That you won't just do that again, or something else? I was really hurt by that. You wouldn't let me speak." Marco nodded. "I know, I know. And I feel really bad, yoi. I will never do it again, I won't. I will not lose my temper and do that, I will take a deep breath and we will speak it out, like we do now, yoi." Ace nodded, that actually sounded good. "Okay, okay. Let us try." Marco smiled, and Ace gave a small one back, before he tilted his head a bit. "Do you have anything you need to say?" Marco shook his head. "No, just that I love you, yoi." Ace nodded, he still wasn't sure if he completely believed that, but he would try.

They would somehow get past this.
