I Like It When.

This is just a series of cute, fluffy one-shots based on what Ace likes to do when he's with Luffy. For now, the stories will be based on their younger ages (Luffy being seven, Ace being ten) and will gradually move up ages as I think of more sexual and graphic things for them to do. You're welcome to submit ideas for stories as well as long as the primary focus is something Ace likes to do with Luffy.

Also, all stories are from Ace's POV.
Enjoy :P

...We Sleep Together

After long days of being out playing in the fields, hunting dangerous animals in the forests and rummaging for treasure in Gray Terminal, nothing sounds better than bedtime.

I always looked forward to bed time; it was peaceful, quiet and absolute bliss. After spending the entire day listening to your little brother scream, shout, laugh and even cry... pure silence was always enjoyable. But even if the silence was enjoyable, it was always scary in a way, not hearing your little brother make insane noises and crying over menial things, it was troubling.

After dinner, myself and Luffy would share a bath together, and get ready for bed. I was always first back into our bedroom, Luffy usually spent a couple of minutes upsetting Dadan over something, which led her to carrying him to our room and screaming "Go to sleep, brats!" The tone never affected Luffy; he would simply laugh and roll around on the floor, eventually making his way over to me.

When Luffy first started staying with us, I was weary of him… it was pretty obvious I hated him and even I can't really explain why. To this day he annoys the hell out of me, but never the less he's someone I want to protect and someone who I cherish dearly; he's definitely my little brother.

At first we slept separately, even when we were okay with each other and called each other friends. But after we fostered each other as brothers, things changed, I suppose I opened myself up more to him and allowed him to get a little closer to me than I would usually allow. Not only that, but Sabo's recent death has made me somewhat worried… Luffy is completely fine during the day but I'm sure he has problems sleeping at night; I don't want him to feel guilty over Sabo's death.

I want him to feel safe and well-protected at night, so that he can dream pleasantly. We sleep on separate futons, no matter how close we are, but every so often I wake up in the morning to find that he's pushed his futon up against mine and he's sleeping so close to me that it's almost hard to breathe. But to be honest, as long as he's happy and safe, I'd gladly stop breathing.

I don't find it weird or even taboo that we share such a close brotherly bond, it does border on the insane from time to time, like when he tries to kiss my forehead or when he hugs me intimately, but he doesn't know any better, he's still pretty innocent-minded.

Dadan would say goodnight to us in a pretty harsh way as always and close the door. At that point I was ready to fall asleep, but Luffy was still really active, even after a busy day. I'd try to ignore him and face away from him so that he'd take the hint and fall asleep, but he'd try and get me to interact with him in any way possible.

Ten or so minutes later and he'd still be as active as ever, how Dadan hadn't come in yet was incredible because his volume was turned all the way up. I'd get out of bed, crawl over to him and tickle him senseless, trying to get rid of his excess energy. Of course, I was having fun too, I wouldn't deny that and it made him happy, which is what I wanted at the end of the day. "Hurry up and fall asleep!" I'd say after shaking him continuously and pulling on his face.

After a couple more minutes, he would finally settle down and curl up underneath the covers of his futon. With that over, I was finally able to fall asleep in peace.

A few hours later….

I fall out of my deep sleep and crack my eyes open slightly, it's the first time I've ever awoke to see that Luffy hasn't pushed his futon over to mine yet. When I hear him mumbling and groaning, I force my eyes open and sit up.

I could see that he was having a nightmare, he had moved so much in his sleep that his cover was down by his feet, his face was beet-red and somewhat swollen and his hair was messy and wringing with sweat.

I'd sit and watch him quietly for a couple of minutes to see if he'd calm down… but it didn't seem likely. He continued to squirm and wriggle about, his breathing was heavy and uneasy and it really made me panic… I couldn't believe that he was actually suffering in his sleep.

When Luffy sat up in a fright I quickly lay back down and pretended to be asleep, seeing what he would do next. I cracked open one of my eyes and watched him wipe away the sweat from his forehead and comb his hair back. He looked half-conscious himself, but at the same time he seemed frightened and scared, he remained sat up for a few more minutes, trying to calm himself down.

I could see him turning to look at me slowly, I was able to close my eye in time and look naturally asleep. I then felt his hand shaking me awake, I opened my eyes slightly and looked up at him, as per usual, he looked like he was about to cry. I sat up and asked "What's up cry-baby?" just to tease him a little, but his lips didn't budge, he remained silent. "So what is it?"I asked again, a little more caringly.

He sniffled, a lot, but he was able to mumble out "c-c-can I slu-sleep nu-next to y-y-you?" I rolled my eyes and pulled his futon over with him still on it.

"Happy?" I said and lay back down, he was finally able to smile and he lay down on his futon which was now right next to mine. I felt a little more at ease now that he was happy and I was able to close my eyes.

It didn't end there however, Luffy remained in his restless state for quite a while, he continued to toss and turn and it really worried me to pieces. It wasn't exactly abnormal for him, it was Luffy, he was a cry-baby who worried over the simplest things, the death of his foster-brother must have been tearing him apart, considering Sabo was so much nicer and friendlier to him…

I'm only mean to him because he gets on my nerves… and he worries me. I can't help but be protective over him; I just can't easily express caring emotions as he can… I've been through quite a lot of trouble in the past and I've basically learned not to accept people so easily, but Luffy is certainly an exception.

I opened my eyes to see what he was doing and as I thought, he was still tossing and turning and keeping me awake. On a whim, I pulled him next to me and wrapped my arms around his waist and gently whispered "Go to sleep." I had no idea what I was thinking, but it seemed to have worked perfectly, he was sound asleep within moments and although I wasn't used to this sort of thing, I felt comforted as well and easily found myself falling asleep.

This was the first time we had huddled together in bed I can definitely see it happening again and again and again.

That morning…

"How did it come to this?" … I awoke this morning to find Luffy was not only still huddled close to me, but his arms were wrapped around me instead, he was squeezing every last inch of air out of my chest and even more incredibly he was between my legs and using my stomach as a pillow.

I could only roll my eyes and return his affection by wrapping my arms around him. It may be a little early to say this but I like it when we sleep together…
