"Ahh...waking up early really is the best!" stretching to loosen up the tight muscles from sleeping, Ace smiled as he shielded his eyes from the bright warm sun with the back of his hand when looking out of the window. It was a beautiful day with a sky so clear that not one cloud could be seen floating past.

Turning away from the window and heading straight for the bathroom Ace began to get ready for another day of his endless searching. Slinging the rucksack onto his shoulder and locking the door, he turned around quickly, nearly bumping into a breakfast tray.

"Oh! Good morning sir. I've brought you your break-"

"Ah! I'm sorry; I'm in a hurry so I won't be eating breakfast. Thank you for bringing it up for me though" with a light bow and a smile, Ace shuffled past the man but not before pinching a slice of bread.

Walking out of the tavern, he was greeted with the buzzing voices of townspeople trying to sell their products and other items for sale. Seeing such a lively town, Ace felt that nothing bad could happen. But it seems he thought wrong.

"Thief! Someone help me catch that thief!"

Turning his head to the sound of the uproar, a young boy running at full speed holding something what looks like a bag of food, behind him was the owner who was running as fast as he could but seems to get slower by the second.

The young boy was heading towards his direction and Ace knew that he would be able to catch the thief if he walked forward and grabbed him. A sudden flashback reminded him of Luffy and himself when they were little: running around their hometown and constantly doing hit and runs when they finished eating.

Ace moved to the side just as the boy sped past and turned his head in his direction giving him a cheeky grin just before disappearing into a corner. The shop owner stopped a few metres away from Ace and tried to catch his breath. Looking up, he gave Ace a quick glare before chasing the kid again. "It's my fault?"

After the thief business died down, Ace continued to walk casually along the streets and check out the merchandise that was on sale: fruits and vegetables, meat, clothes and shoes, jewellery and a mixture of many other items. Just as he was about to head off to another direction, he received a hard shove on the shoulder.

"Move out of the way, brat!" a tall and slim marine stared at Ace before walking off, his subordinates following behind their superior.

"Hey young man, are you okay?" asked the shop keeper who walked out of his stall "That's the new chief petty officer Minchey who's in charge of this area now, the previous one got promoted and moved to another station so they got that guy to fill in the gap. Everyone around here hates him. Look at that"

Turning around, Ace watched as the cocky marine pushed another innocent person out of the way.

"You're not from around here are you? Next time you see him, make sure you stay away from him"

"My lover would never do that to anyone…" mumbling under his breath

"Ho~ young man, your lover is a marine officer eh? How's the relationship with you and your girlfriend?"

Ace's cheeks turned bright red "Huh? Well…err…we're getting along fine but we can't really see each other a lot due to err…issues and other things…"

"A secret relationship eh? Don't give up! When I was young, I fell for a girl who lived in my village but our parents never approved of our relationship and kept moving us apart. But we both knew. We were meant for each other. In the end, we got married and my wife gave birth to two beautiful kids, they are my pride and joy!" The man laughed loudly and went back to tend to his shop

It made Ace jealous that not only was his relationship with Smoker still budding but also because he was a pirate and him a marine and everybody knew that pirates and marines don't mix.

"It's not that simple old man…" Ace thought to himself. "We were meant for each other…huh…" Trying to get his brain back on focus, the teen straightened out his clothes and looked around for any signs of Blackbeard's crew before moving on.

"Excuse me, how much is it for the apple?" a muscular man wearing a sleeveless white tank top with grey trousers walked near a fruit stall pointed at the last remaining item in the basket. "Ah, the apples were on sale today for 50 beri but since it's the last one I'll sell it to you for 30 beri, how does that sound?"

"Sure, I'll take it" giving the money to the owner and reaching out to grab the apple, another hand shot out taking the apple that he just bought.

"Ah, I'm very sorry sir; this gentleman here just bought the apple..." Ace turned his head and met with a pair of familiar black eyes. "Smoker!"

Upon hearing the name, many heads turned towards them both and in a matter of minutes, a large crowd was formed around the fruit stand. Ace was pushed out of the way during the commotion and nearly fell over but balanced himself upright. Smoker saw it and looked at Ace, who laughed while waving with the apple in hand and walked off.

Smoker wanted to follow but was stopped by the crowd. Various conversations were spouted at Smoker from asking how his job was to his own personal lifestyle. Thirty minutes later, a tired Smoker who was finally free from the crowd sat down on a seat in a café nearby and breathed out a sigh of relief.

A cup of coffee was placed in front of him immediately before he had the chance to order anything. Looking up at the person who gave him the drink, he watched as Ace sat down next to him with a cold glass. Taking a sip from the coffee Smoker felt a relaxed sensation rush through him. "Pretty popular with the ladies aren't you?" Smoker choked.

"Don't misunderstand, they're just-"

"I'm only messing around with you, relax!" laughed Ace "So how come you're in Orange Town? I thought you were busy?"

"I am busy. But even busy people need to take breaks from time to time; it's been a while since I've been here so I thought I might have a look around. There's also this new guy that our Headquarters sent so I thought I might see how he's doing. I think his name was Minchey or something"

"I don't like that guy" taking a sip from his cold drink

"If a marine heard you say that, they'll think its disrespectful"

"I'm not the only one who thinks that. People in the town hate him, I heard it from the townspeople living here. They say the new guy used his reputation and power to boss everyone around. Nobody likes him"

"Hmm…I'll have a word with his superiors later…"

"Hey, you're free for the whole day right? I hear there's this special event going on tonight, something about a celebration; the townspeople are still carrying out the preparations for it. Do you want go and see it when it's done?" Ace's eyes sparkled like a puppy

Smoker ruffled Ace's hair and smiled "Sure, why not?"

While waiting for the event to start, Smoker and Ace spent their time wondering around different places in Orange Town occasionally commenting on how the place has or hasn't changed. As time passed, more and more stalls were being put out with food and items for sale, the number of people walking around the streets increased and soon the whole town was filled with lively people walking around; families gathering together and enjoying a night's out, energetic children running around chasing one another and laughing.

Smoker had just returned from purchasing food when he saw Ace with a gentle look watching as a mother and father held hands with their son and smiled tenderly at him who jumped up and down with excitement.

Ace was snapped out of his gaze when he felt something shoved into his chest and looked up to see Smoker holding two hot meals. "Here, I got you something to eat, thought you might be hungry since you only had an apple and a drink"

Ace thanked him and immediately tucked into his hot dogs and chips happily checking out other stalls that might be fun or interesting. Smoker wiped away the bits of food that was stuck to the boy's face

"You don't have to rush, the stalls won't go anywhere" wiping the sauce from the boy's face. Ace turned to Smoker with stuffed cheeks who just carried on munching and stuffing another large portion in his mouth. "What were you thinking about anyway?" Ace gave him a questioning look. With his cheeks stuffed with food on both sides and the face he made Smoker had to fight the urge to poke them

"You were watching a couple holding hands with a boy"

Ace remembered and swallowed before speaking. Again the same gentle look was back on his face "I was just thinking...that it was nice to have parents taking care of you, spoiling you and...loving you…" Ace spoke the last part in a low voice which didn't go unheard by Smoker. "Of course I'm really happy with my family, they care for me a lot and I have Oyaji who cares for me like his own son and I have you by my side so I'm not lonely at all!" His face lit up in a huge grin

The older male took Ace's hand, leaned forward closing the gap with a kiss, it was soft only lasting for a few minutes but Ace felt like it lasted forever. Ace shyly dipped his head down looking at anywhere but Smoker who smiled giving the smaller hand a reassuring squeeze and headed towards the busy stalls to see if it held anything interesting to purchase, Ace looked at Smoker's back and smiled feeling very happy and content.

Squeezing the hand which radiated with warmth, Smoker turned his head and asked if Ace was interested in any items from the stall they were currently occupying.

Ace shook his head and gave his usual smile. "I don't need anything else because I've already got what I wanted. To spend a day with the person I love"

Smoker was left speechless but quickly regained his composure moving away from the stalls, Smoker immediately led the two of them into a quieter area away from all the commotion. "S-Smoker?" asked Ace wondering where they were but he didn't get a reply and could only stare at the broad back of the marine

When they both arrived the air was filled with a different atmosphere: classy, people waving trying to grab your attention and the number of couples together on the streets hugging and kissing each other like it was natural. Ranging from stunningly beautiful young teenagers to mature adults, Ace definitely seemed like he was way out of place. But the most intriguing thing was the fact that all of them were males!

His thoughts were cut short when the pair stopped right in front of a hotel. It wasn't like the high class hotels or clubs they went passed, it was plain and simple, one that you could find when you needed somewhere affordable.

Smoker asked the clerk for a room two people could occupy overnight and once the keys were handed over he led Ace to where they would be staying. Ace was still confused wondering why they were staying in a hotel

"What happened to the event?"

Once the door closed the teen was immediately pushed onto the bed, a shirtless Smoker towering over him

"S...Smoker? What are we doing here?" Ace had to suppress a soft moan when Smoker lifted up his T-shirt exposing his toned body and giving it gentle fleeting touches.

"It's your fault" Smoker leaned forward kissing Ace on the lips "You're the one who seduced me"

"Huh!? When did I-mmhhm..." His sentence was cut short and trailed off into a soft moan when he felt his neck was attacked by a series of nibbles. Smoker then bit hard on the neck earning a loud yelp from the Ace and tried to squirm away from the neck attack but the elder wouldn't allow it, he used his own weight to pin the body still and bit onto the neck again, only this time it was gentle and sucked hard enough for a purple mark to surface. Smoker then moved away from the neck he has just bitten and aimed for the open mouth just as Ace was about to speak.

The captain's tongue pushed inside the hot mouth and began massaging the wet muscle inside mixing his own saliva with the teen's, Ace moaned into the kiss, his own words forgotten and wrapped his arms around Smoker's neck. The kiss was hard and fast as if trying to swallow every inch of Ace's mouth. After a while Ace was starting to lose the grip around Smoker's neck and broke away for air, before he could catch his breath a warm tongue began biting and sucking on his nipple while a hand played with the other gaining another moan

"Mhm...uhm...ahh...!"

Ace gasped when a sudden hand pulled down his boxers exposing his arousal and began giving it quick rough strokes. "W-wait Smoker! If you touch me like that I'll-!" White liquid squirted into Smoker's hand.

"Smoker..." the teen laid there panting, looking down he saw a bulge in Smoker's trousers, he reached out to undo the zipper and took out the hot cock, leaning his head forward and wanted to suck on it when a large hand stopped him.

"It's fine, you don't have to do that" pushing the pirate back onto the bed he took out a small bottle of lubricant and spread it on his fingers, he gently pressed the pad of his finger onto Ace's entrance and slowly slipped it inside the tight hole, he then added the second scissoring and sliding it in and out. Smoker looked up watching as Ace's face blush a deep red, panting. Once he thought the hole was stretched well enough he poured a generous amount of lube onto his cock, he lined the tip in front of Ace's stretched opening and slowly eased himself in.

"Ahh..!" the teen moaned in pain as he felt a large object enter him. It's not the first time with Smoker but nonetheless it still hurt

Smoker kissed him to distract him and it worked as he felt the tight muscles loosened around his cock, once soft balls nudged the teen's ass he held himself still when the body under him wriggled and moaned in want.

He slowly pulled out until only the tip was inside and pushed back in setting a gentle rhythm, the lithe but muscled body groaned in pain mixed pleasure and bucked up to meet Smoker's thrusts trying to get more of Smoker.

Ace's head was thrown back, his body made a beautiful arch and groaned in pleasure as his special spot was hit.

Realising this, Smoker angled his thrusts and purposely aimed at Ace's prostate looking down at the young pirate with a smirk who's body becoming a writhing mess. The bed shook and creaked due to their fast actions

The young pirate's moans and the tightening around his cock made the marine's grip tighten onto his waist and the thrusts became erratic, both covered in sweat and breathing heavily. The way Smoker kept angling his thrusts into Ace's prostrate was pushing him over the edge, making his mind go blank.

"Ahh...Nnn...Ahn...Mphm...No...more...I ca-..." Ace didn't manage to finish his sentence and came all over his stomach, some of it landing on his face. With the walls clamping around Smoker's cock he wasn't going to last either and with a few more thrusts emptied himself into the hole collapsing on top of the boy, Ace moaned as he felt hot liquid fill his insides painting it white.

Smoker gently pulled out of Ace and got up heading for the showers to fill the bathtub with hot water, when it was done he went back to Ace noticing he had fallen asleep. "Ace don't sleep. We still need to clean up" shaking the unresponsive body. Smoker sighed as he had to carry Ace into the bathroom and ran warm water over his body but the tricky part comes in, with one hand carrying Ace another hand went for the soap squeezing the cold liquid out of its container spreading the contents all over the top half of the body sliding lower, when it reached Ace's cock he gave a light moan in response. Hearing this Smoker grinned and paid more attention to the object below as it became hard little by little

"Uhn...Ngh..." feeling excitement in his lower body the sleeping boy slowly opened his eyes.

"Come on, stand up properly"

"Hmm..?" his words came out sluggish, as still half asleep was flipped over his hands placing onto the cool tiles on the bathroom wall, now with both hands free Smoker spread the younger's butt-cheeks and pushed two fingers into the soft hole. Ace's eyes shot open due the imposing fingers moving about making him fully awake and turned his head seeing Smoker kneeling on the floor

"What are you doing?"

"Oh? Finally awake now are you? I'm helping you take out the cum" said Smoker

"I can take it out myself!" grabbing Smoker's hand, Ace couldn't help but moan when Smoker pushed in deeper than before occasionally brushing a certain area reluctantly contracting his muscles when it was touched. "Nn!...Mmh..."

Smoker suddenly pulled out his fingers and stood up making Ace's hole quiver at the emptiness. "I think I'll take it out this way instead" Standing up behind Ace Smoker lined up his erection against the twitching hole he had just fiddled with giving it gentle rubs

"Eh!? Wait! If we do it again I won't be able to walk tomorrow!" Ace tried to protest but Smoker wasn't listening to him at the least and entered slowly all the way to the hilt whilst stroking the stiff length.

The teen groaned a little in pain mixed pleasure. The pleasure was that it felt good having Smoker's cock inside of him but the pain was because his ass was still sore from having sex just a while ago and he definitely won't be able to move the next day if he did it again

"How does...helping me take out the cum...lead to this..." Ace spoke between pants

Smoker was nibbling on his ear "Because it's faster this way" and with that began to move

Ace pressed his hands against the wall for as much support as he could get and the way Smoker was thrusting into him at a great speed wasn't making it any easier. Smoker lifted Ace's leg turning him to the side hitting a different spot and he moaned in pleasure

"Ooh...Smoker..."

"Here?" Smoker angled his thrusts hitting that spot and Ace responded by squeezing around him. They were going fast for quite some time, Ace couldn't take it anymore and came spraying his seed onto the wall; Smoker feeling Ace's tight grip around his member came inside the young pirate. When he pulled out excess cum began to trickle from the soft hole and was holding an unconscious teen in his arms.

Ace awoke 10 minutes later finding himself inside a hot tub

"How are you feeling? You passed out afterwards, I guess Whitebeard pirates weren't that strong as they say they are after all"

"It's your fault for doing it twice in a row! I can't even move at all!" an angry Ace was leaning against Smoker's chest he knew the elder was smirking even without looking

Once dry and tucked under the covers both of them were snuggled against one another, Ace closed his eyes and rested his head on Smoker's arm as a pillow, he was about to fall asleep when...

"You know, we should have sex more often to train your stamina. That way you'll gain more energy during the day and you'll have enough energy to last throughout night"

Blushing like mad and with a fit of rage Ace punched Smoker in the chest sending him flying across the floor. (who knew he still had energy left to spare?)
