Luffy shook Ace awake as he brushed his teeth, still in his light blue boxers. For some reason, Ace refused to wake up today and at the moment, all Luffy knew was that he was starving and Ace was the one who cooked. And nothing was gonna stand in his way of getting his breakfast. Nothing. At. All. Luffy's eye twitched as Ace continued to sleep like a log and headed back into the bathroom to spit his toothpaste out. Well if Ace wanted to play like that, then Luffy knew exactly what to do. He grabbed a small cup of ice water from the kitchen and re-entered Ace's bedroom, a dark gleam in his eyes. 3… 2… 1… The ice water made contact with Ace's face and neck and he shot straight up. Houston, we have lift off.

"Luffy, what the hell!"

"I'm hungry." Ace stared disbelievingly at Luffy. "What?" Ace rolled his eyes and fell back onto the bed with a groan. "You're nipples are hard."

"That's nice, Lu. What time is it?"

"8:30." Ace gave another groan before rolling off the bed and headed for the bathroom.

"I'll be in the kitchen in a minute, Lu. Get everything ready for me."

"M'kay!" Luffy ran out of the bedroom to start getting ready while Ace brushed his teeth and washed his face. Only three hours of sleep again. He looked at his eyes and noticed they were getting darker and darker everyday from so little sleep. He wouldn't be able to take much more of this. He'd already been putting up with it for almost two years. He shook his head and put on a smile. He couldn't let Luffy suspect something wrong because then Luffy wouldn't let it go until he knew what was wrong. He slipped into his black shorts and put on his yellow button-up shirt, along with his red beads. He walked into the kitchen where Luffy was practically shaking with excitement for his food.

"Alright, so what do you want for breakfast today?"

"Bacon, eggs and toast!" Luffy drooled and Ace chuckled.

"Alright, coming up." He put bread in the toaster, eggs in the pan along with bacon and set some apples in front of Luffy. "Just until breakfast is done." Luffy wasted no time in eating the apples and started munching away. Ace chuckled and continued cooking until there was a knock at the door. "Hey Lu, could you get–"

"Hey, Zoro! Sanji!" Luffy said, opening the door.

"…the door." Ace mumbled, finishing his sentence. Sanji put his cigarette out and entered the house ruffling Luffy's hair slightly and Zoro walked over to Ace. "Hey, Zoro. I see you're up early."

"Back at you." Ace flipped the sizzling bacon with his spatula.

"So what time did you get home?" Zoro looked over his shoulder to make sure Luffy and Sanji weren't listening. In fact, they were on the other side of the kitchen arguing about some type of melon they saw at a party a few days ago.

"Around three in the morning." Ace flipped the eggs.

"Lucky bastard," he murmured, buttering the toast. "He's been keeping me until five in the morning." Zoro shook his head and headed towards the table to sit. "Oi, breakfast is ready." Sanji and Luffy took a seat at the table and Ace served Sanji and Zoro first. "Sorry Lu, I hope you don't mind waiting a few more minutes for breakfast." Luffy set his head on the table and watched as his two friends ate the delicious looking food right in front of him.

"Why do they get to eat first?" Luffy whined and Ace rolled his eyes as he started on another batch of eggs, bacon and toast.

"It's because they're guests, Luffy. We go through this every time they come over." After a minute of Luffy's nonstop whining and attempts to steal some food, Ace served himself and Luffy breakfast as the group talked about upcoming plans they could make.

"Well I think maybe a vacation to Amazon Lily would be nice," Sanji commented, his mind filling with images of half naked women. Zoro rolled his eyes as he finished his eggs. Even though Zoro didn't show it, he had a crush on the blond cook for over a year now. He probably would have confessed his feelings but he had a feeling that Sanji might not swing that way, seeing as he always obsessed over any girl he laid his eyes on. Ace shook his head, noting that the blond was so caught up in his world that he didn't see the green-haired man roll his eyes. Ace felt sorry for Zoro, knowing the man's feelings for the blond. He even wanted to help him a few times, but Zoro said it was alright and rarely talks about his feelings.

"I don't think Amazon Lily is such a good idea," Ace commented as he chewed. "Last time we went there, Luffy made a stalker."

"Yeah, she was kinda creepy. Always following Luffy around, giving him bentos, pocky, mochi, onigiri, ebi sense…"

"Don't remind me," Ace replied dryly. He couldn't stand that lady! She was making so many moves on his Luffy that at one point when she mentioned marrying him, Ace wanted to strangle her. He argued with her on several accounts during the vacation and a few threats were even thrown around when Luffy wasn't around. "Damn cougar…"

"What was that?" Sanji asked and Ace looked up at him with his hands laced together, a rather dark look in his eyes.

"It's true." Ace looked back at his food, suddenly losing his appetite. "She kept asking Luffy to marry her even though she only knew him a week. She's too old for him."

"Yeah, no kidding," Luffy spoke, stealing the reaming food off Ace's plate. "She was kind of weird." Hearing those words seemed to comfort Ace and Zoro noticed this.

"Yeah, wouldn't want any jealousy going on." Ace's eyes widened just a tad and a tiny blush appeared, but luckily his hands hid most of it. Sanji and Zoro smirked. They knew Ace had a serious crush on Luffy for a few years now and they tried to convince him to tell Luffy how he felt but always rejected the idea, saying that it wasn't right for brother's to fall in love. Several times they tried to set Ace up and trick him into telling Luffy his feelings, but he saw through each trap and eventually they decided to give up. Suddenly, Luffy popped his head up with an idea.

"Oh! How about we go to Thriller Bark's Horror Festival? They'll be in town next month and we missed it last year! It'll be so fun! I bet Sanji will get scared again!" Sanji stomped his foot with a small blush.

"Oi, shut up! I only got scared because stupid marimo put a fake spider on my shoulder in the dark! It was a cheap shot! I said stop laughing!" Everyone at the table laughed heartily as tears leaked from their eyes at the memory.

"Alright, it's decided then. Thriller Bark Festival it is." Ace glanced at the grandfather clock against the wall before standing up. "We're gonna be late for our jobs, we better get going." They set their plates in the sink and grabbed their things. "Lu, got your jacket?"

"Hai. Let's go!" Sanji worked as both a chef and waiter at his foster father's restaurant The Baratie, one of the best eating establishments in the Grand Line. Zoro worked at a dojo to help train students who were eager to become swordsmen and continuously trained in hopes of someday beating Hawk-Eye Mihawk and take his place as the best swordsman in the world. Ace worked under a man named Whitebeard who gave his 'sons' various jobs to do like construction, demolishing, helping elders, anything. He was famous as being one of the best paying- and caring- bosses around. Every employee that worked for him earned the name Son to him. They were like family to him, and he was like a father to them. He even had a mansion built for his sons to live if they ever needed a place to live. One of his longest family members- and Ace's good friend- lived there, his name was Phoenix Marco. Luffy worked as a photographer for a famous company called GLP- Grand Line Photography. They all rushed to their jobs as they always did, it was their daily routine. But for Zoro and Ace, it was just the calm before the storm.

It was six o'clock. Ace and Luffy had been off work for an hour already and they were just having fun at home when Ace's cellphone started ringing. Flipping open the phone and spotting the number, his smile slowly fell and he excused himself from the room to answer it. "Hello?" He tried his best to talk in a kind tone.

"Ace, my friend! How are you?" Ace flinched at the loud voice that emitted from the phone.

"I'm alright."

"Good. I need you to come in early tonight. I'd say, maybe ten minutes." Ace closed his eyes and repressed the urge to sigh.

"Ten minutes. I'll be there." He shut his phone and put it in his pocket, putting a fake smile on his face. "Hey, Lu. That was Whitebeard. I gotta cover for someone again." Luffy pouted and Ace thought it was too cute.

"Aw, okay. Maybe tomorrow we can play guitar hero or something." Ace grinned and ruffled Luffy's hair.

"Yeah, that sounds good. Now, you remember the rules for when I work nights, right?"

"No calling you unless it's a complete emergency."

"And by emergency, I don't mean calling me because you're out of meant." Ace tugged on Luffy's cheek who gave a whimper of pain.

"Oi, I got it, I got it!" Ace released his cheek and he nursed it. "Meanie." Ace simply stuck his tongue out before heading towards the door. "Be careful!"

"You too. See ya, Lu." Ace exited the house and sighed, hopping onto his bike and cycled his way towards his destination. On the way, he pulled out his phone and rung up Zoro. "Hey, did you get a call too?"

"Yeah, I gotta come in early today. I wonder what they have in store for us today."

"I don't know," Ace replied with a serious tone. "I guess I'll see you there in ten. Bye." He shut his phone and put his concentration back on peddling. He reached his destination and set his bike against the brick wall. He entered the large almost prison-like building and instantly spotted Zoro. They gave each other a nod before heading into another room where their masters awaited them. On the left was Marshall D. Teach. Aka, Blackbeard. On the right was Donquixote Doflamingo. Both were extremely strong men and rich enough to ruin anyone's life they wanted. Blackbeard motioned for his slave to come to his side and, reluctantly, Ace traveled over to him. Zoro watched as the freckled teen made his way to his master and Zoro felt sympathy towards him. Zoro had been a slave for a month before Ace was brought in as Teach's slave, and Zoro thought he had it pretty rough with the quack Doflamingo as his master. But seeing the way Teach treated Ace, Zoro knew he could have had it worse. The way Teach would look at Ace even gave Zoro the shivers and he couldn't even begin to think what that man had put Ace through already.

As Ace neared Teach, he could tell he was drunk and in a frisky mood which Ace had dreaded. There had been only two other times Teach had gotten drunk and they were two days Ace desperately tried to erase from his mind. He stood by Teach and the giant man put his arm around Ace's shoulders, making the teen tense up. Doflamingo motioned for Zoro to approach and he did, walking to his master's side. Zoro noticed the man was smiling, as usual. His smiled never disappeared, it was always there, and he was always laughing. Laughing at anything, everything and was always sadistic, much to Zoro's disappointment. Doflamingo pushed Zoro forward, ordering him to start working on the statue he was making. The green-haired man gave a quick glance at Ace who was being led off by Teach, a rather dark look in his eyes. Zoro silently wished everything would go well for Ace.

Ace knew what was coming. He knew it and he loathed it. First, Teach would make him work on the statue he and Doflamingo have been building. Then, after he got even drunker, he'd probably pull Ace off to the side, knock him out, chain him up, and have his way. That's how it happened the last two times and Ace desperately wished that wouldn't happen again. He and Zoro had their usual neck shackles put on so they couldn't try to escape. They then proceeded to work on the giant statue that would soon signify the strength and wealth of Teach and Doflamingo. They were forced to move bricks and rocks and giant plywoods. Make one wrong move and they were beaten. Sometimes Zoro would be hit or even have stones thrown at him by Doflamingo due to his sadistic side, and the swordsman was forced to ignore it. If Ace were to mess up, he would receive a hit to the body, usually leaving deep busies or even fractures sometimes. The two masters watched in amusement from the sidelines. "So, how many people have you told about your secret life?"

"Nobody," the two replied monotonously.

"Zehahaha! You've done well in hiding it for the past few years!" The two slaves continued to crumble rocks with picks.

"Fufufu, I was almost sure you two would crack in under a year! But if you did that, we'd also enslave your loved ones." The quack grinned and Ace and Zoro's grips tightened on their tools. That was right, if they told anyone about their situation, Sanji and Luffy were to be enslaved as well. That's why they always covered up their wounds and made excuses. Sanji just usually assumed Zoro got his from the dojo and training too much. Ace always told Luffy he and Marco always roughhoused too much or sometimes he got in fights with strangers looking for a fight. And thankfully, they believed the lies. Five hours had already passed and the two were starting to get exhausted, messing up more and more and earning more beatings. Ace gave a sigh as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was glad Teach hadn't tried anything on him yet and hoped maybe he wouldn't. But as he reached to move a pile of bricks, Teach came up behind and knocked him over the head with a shovel, knocking the freckled teen out.

"Ace!" Zoro looked at the unconscious teen and looked up at Teach. Before he could even think about trying anything, Doflamingo had Zoro on the ground, repeatedly stomping on his back. The swordsman let out a yell of pain in surprise before clenching his jaws and refused to make any other noise. Doflamingo simply laughed it off after he was done kicking the man.

"Fufufufu! Now back to work!" Zoro slowly picked himself and headed towards the statue to lay down some bricks, watching helplessly as Teach carried off Ace to a different room. "I said back to work!" The sound of a whip cracking echoed through the air and Zoro fell back to the ground.

Ace awoke to the sound of water dripping onto rocks. He opened his eyes and suddenly knew where he was. It was a dungeon like room where Teach liked to have his way with him. Ace quickly sat up and pulled at the chains that held his arms and legs frantically. 'No, no, no, no, I don't want to go through this again! Please, not again!' He tried to break the chains but they were too thick, so he tried to pull them out of the wall behind him. No luck. As Teach entered the room with a bottle of rum in his hand, Ace pushed himself against the metal bedpost, distancing himself between himself and his master. "What's wrong, Ace?" Ace pulled at the chains once more. "Zehahaha! There's no escaping us, Ace! Try all you want, but you cannot escape! And even if you do," he was suddenly at Ace's side caressing the boy's cheek. "I can always enslave that cute little brother of yours." He whispered in Ace's ear and it sent shivers down Ace's spine. Just the thought of Luffy having to go through this made him sick to his stomach. Teach grinned evilly at Ace and he pulled a headful of the teens hair back, earning a deep glare from the freckled teen. "Hush, relax." And Ace's glare turned more into a look of worry. "This won't hurt a bit."
