Ace was pissed. He could feel the sting of the ugly bruises that were left on the knuckles of his hands as he gripped the backpack strap tightly, barely caring about the state of his bruises. Crimson splashed across the white uniform he was wearing, but he didn't care. He kept furiously kicking the pebbles he found on the sidewalk, maintaining a serious countenance.— Ace joined the fray knowing he was going to be in trouble as soon as he got home. No one likes troubled teens, least of all Garp.
But it's not like he regrets it. Freckled sighed in boredom as he stopped in front of the old wooden house, the door creaked open, revealing his younger brother. And he was just adorable, sitting on the rug in the living room, coloring a children's book with crayons. The straw hat was huge over the little boy's messy hairdresser, it was cute.— Ace could stare at him for eternity and swore he would never get tired, however, he would never assume that to Luffy.
The curious gaze lifted, gleaming at the sight of the older figure. Ace stood with a frown in the entryway. Trying not to react to Luffy's cuteness.
"Ace!" The little monkey jumped excitedly, almost tripping before running towards his brother. He jumped in front of the freckled boy, peppering him with questions. Stuff about his boring day at school, which for Luffy was simply very cool.—The boy looked up, watching Ace's freckled face with a smile. Your eyes always so cold and empty; his cheeks kissed by the sun, but what really caught his attention was the open cut on his upper lip. There was dried blood around it, and it was slightly swollen. The brunette frowned. He noticed Ace's hands, when he throwing the backpack somewhere in the house, they were raw. "Wah.."
"It was a scuffle." Ace muttered looking at him sideways. He could see the exact moment when Luffy's eyes flickered in wonder and his fists clenched in excitement."It is not a big deal, Lu"
"And you won, right??"
"I always win, crybaby." Freckled rolled his eyes casually, letting out a nasal laugh when he saw the smaller one cross his arms and puff out his cheeks. Fucking adorable, putting his foot down claiming he wasn't a crybaby. But that didn't last long, the youngest soon returned to smile questioning excitedly. And Ace couldn't stop himself from blushing softly, he absolutely loves the admiration and attention Luffy gives him, someone needs him.
Someone wants him alive. The freckled boy blinked in astonishment, being abruptly pulled out of his happy line of reasoning when he felt the soft little hands reach his face.
Ace definitely wasn't expecting this.
His brain froze for a fraction of a second, and his eyes doubled in size when they saw the smaller's eyes close, stood on tiptoe before pouting.
"H-hey!- Lu-- w-what?!" The eldest shouted in exasperation. His face had completely taken over a reddish color, blushing even more when his legs gave out, sending him falling on his ass to the wooden floor. Luffy could only be crazy! Ace mentally melted. Practically sweating bullets as he listened to his own heart drumming in his ears. "Wai-- W-wait! L-Luffy?!"
"Hey! stay still!" Luffy demanded with puffed cheeks, kneeling down without delay to climb over Ace. Who threw himself to the ground, in a last attempt to escape. He could feel his heart beating so, so fast that it was clouding his wits. Damn..this boy would kill him! The freckled brunette nearly lost his breath when his little brother straddled him, slamming his hands on the wooden floor.
Sure, it was kind of suggestive. But Luffy didn't think about those things.— And apparently neither does Ace. He got lost in the determined and cute smile that the youngest was showing. "I'll give you a kiss to heal, shishishi!~" the boy stated with conviction and Portgas felt dizzy.
"In my mouth?!"
"uhum!" he nodded.
This couldn't be happening.
"y-you can't..kiss my mouth, Luffy." Ace muttered awkwardly, feeling a slight coil of anxiety settle in his stomach. He pursed his lips, cocking his embarrassed face to one side when he saw the younger one knit his brows. Confused.— The why was so obvious. No one should think of their little brother the way Ace does. And brothers definitely don't kiss. No, not at all.
At least Ace thinks so.
"Eeeh?? b-but.." Damn it, the boy pouted. And he didn't listen. "I want to see you better.." He said bringing his faces closer, looking curiously at Ace awkward behavior along with the surprised expression that crossed his face. Straight black hair spread across the older boy's forehead as a gulp of saliva and courage trickled down his throat. He glared at Luffy. Very close. Ace clenched his fists, closing his eyes tightly, unprepared for the chaste little brush of lips that the youngest left in he.
Was a quick little kiss. He loved it.
"Shishishi, done!" Luffy grinned, laughing as he saw Ace's pores burst into smoke, stunning him. He had truly slipped out of orbit for a while, barely thinking when Luffy lay on top of him, snuggling up against his chest. Listening intently to the rapid leaps of his heart and quieting with it.
"Idiot.." He smiled a little, depositing a kiss in the middle of the younger's black hair, who looked up in surprise, before lowering it and smiling.. Beautiful smile. Damn it. Smell, warm touch. Damn..Ace wanted to fuck him.
