[no he doesn't. Ace isn't going to be thrown over Smoker's shoulder this time. He'll make his own way.
He groans softly at the kiss and arches into the touches, but backs away from Smoker's hands, out the door. He smirks and tugs Smoker's belt to follow him and then starts to walk away, expecting Smoker to follow him...
and what a rush that is! Knowing Smoker is dogging his heels, wanting him.]
Ahh Taisa... [he murmurs it but even facing away from him he feels like Smoker will hear it]
[because why not I mean living together in a treehouse...
At least it's been warmer around Fayren, but nights are still chilly and Zoro likes to be warm when he sleeps. Makes for cozy good times. He's noticed Ace being much more possessive around him sometimes, on and off, like he's been officially adopted or something. It's a little weird, but not at all offputting. After all, he's been even closer to the cook both in spirit and in body, and survived. Ace is just Ace, and he's a pretty cool guy.
Zoro wanders back to the treehouse around midnight as usual, even if he never falls asleep then. So if Ace is at all around, he'll have a swordsman sitting up against him back to back, intending to warm his chilly butt after walking around the town in the dead of night.]
[good, Ace is up. No flopping onto a sleeping firepit. Though he does shift around to allow that arm]
Out and about. I don't like just sitting around all day, even if there's nothing to fight. [literally, he just sort of goes into the woods until he comes out at some point, maybe fighting, maybe just walking.] Thanks for the drink.
Yeah, me too. There's not even enough trouble to cause. [he rests his chin on Zoro's shoulder and sips his own drink.] Other than the dungeons but after you've been through them once...
[there is a sound of cracking bone in the corner but it's just one of the dire wolves he smuggled out nomming on a bone with Sir Wincy Fortitude Fartface the First, a well bred pug with an attitude to match]
Maybe we can go kidnap someone. What do you think? [flicks his earrings just to listen to them chime.]
Oi, stop that. [idly waving a hand - the jingle is right in his ear after all] Kidnap who? What'd we do with them?
[the problem with Zoro is that he isn't Luffy. Hilarious shenanigans don't come easy to him, he has to be talked into it for a reason. Luffy would totally be all 'yeah! let's go! who are we kidnapping? who cares?']
I wanted to fight Torao but he's busy being a real doctor and shit. Man, what kind of pirates are we if we're not making trouble?
Dunno. [that's why it's so lame. Ace is good at shenanigans sometimes but they're mostly violent and not always fun and he normally just does it himself. Thatch is better at thinking up those things but... He sighs]
Troao is hot. I'd do him. [just saying] Do you think he paints on his jeans or what?
[yeah, he feels that. The moment in which an idea is floated, and then all those involved realize they have more restraint than Luffy. Or different purposes. Same thing.
He nearly chokes on his latest sip at that, thanks Ace]
Hot? What, like...oh. Eh... [let's drink much more normally this time] ...I'm more about his swordsmanship, but I guess if you like that sort of thing, he's easy on the eyes. [shooting Ace a look] Seen all his tattoos?
You're so cool. I bet you get laid a lot. [he's just saying] Are you a virgin? Since I've already asked it can't be bad asking it again right? Come on, Roronoa, fess up [he grins and punches him lightly in the shoulder] I was for a while!
[okay before he answers that question, he is draining half the bottle.
There. Now. Wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.]
Don't get excited, I'm not that kind of cool. [light smack across the shoulder] Everyone starts out a virgin, idiot. Me, I...
[STOP BLUSHING DAMMIT god] ...no, I don't get laid a lot. Or at all. Like, there was this one time...but. [his eye drops, because that was super uncomfortable. His body responding against his will, even though it was someone he did want deep down. He always wondered after that, what if he'd gone through with it instead of throwing Sanji on the floor?] Nothing came of it.
[that sounds horrible. Ace can tell there's something he's very sad about and that hurts. He doesn't want Zoro to be sad in front of him or any of Luffy's nakama if it comes to that. Anyone important to Lu is his responsibility, especially when they're right in front of him]
Do you want to change that? It's really fun. I bet Barty knows some girls. He knows everyone. Or maybe I can hook you up with Torao since you have something in common.
[Zoro shakes it off and lifts his head, sliding easily back into his usual too-cool-for-you demeanor]
It's not like I'm in any hurry. It's fine, whatever, you know. I dunno, I mean Torao would be decent but I get the feeling he's not interested in that shit. [he's only guessing, though, judging by the fact that Law is the least friendly asshole ever. And coming from a fellow asshole, that's really saying something.
And yet, he can't stop his gaze drifting slightly over his shoulder toward where their hammocks hang, and there's a cook somewhere in the darkness there...]
I don't wanna know any girls Barty knows, though. Seriously. I have my doubts about his taste.
[that was a mental image he didn't need. He loves his captain but not in that way, particularly since their topic of conversation is mainly just getting laid]
What do you know about it, anyway? Maybe I'm just not into any of that at all. Girls who know the right things...feh...
[he's already tipped his hand, though, so there's no use denying it]
