[Knocks back Ace's hat with one hand, and gently runs his fingers through his hair and plays with it softly.]
Namur says he'll stick it out as long as I'm inclined. And I've been at this for five years of time and space travel Sparky. Maybe we will, maybe we won't. But I'd be happier assuming we're not going anywhere yet. Does that bother you so much?

[he closes his eyes at the touch, leaning into it. Feels good. Always feels good when Marco does it.
Does it bother him? Yes of course it does. Five years... hell he could have gone around the Grand Line a million times in five years. He could see everything there was to see in five years. This place was nothing but...]
Isn't it boring?

Isn't it boring?
[Laughs.] No. Anything but. The universe is so vast, Ace. I was given chances I never thought I'd have. That I could never have imagined.
I met another phoenix. I got to be married by Pops. I got to go to a school, and adopt a brother who is about justice and have him help temper me when I needed it most.
And I don't go back to a time where I don't have you. I don't know if it's a phoenix thing, but it seems like every second out here is an extra one. And more importantly, extra for everyone else.
I can do whatever I want here and not fear anything. Because whatever happens, I just have to protect you and the others, and it's a lot easier out here. So I can just enjoy it.
Do you know how many books I've read now?
And I got to fly places I could never have seen otherwise.
I saw the in-between world beyond the gate of death. I saw monsters fall from the moon and fought them.
I got to adopt a son. I wish I could have had Pops meet him, but even so.
I've met countries personified. Stardust princesses, a demon whose only passion was cooking spicy, and a flying blue pegasus pony. Every time I'm surprised it stops being boring. It's only boring when it lives up expectations.

[oh no. A happy phoenix is a cute phoenix. Ace smiles at his words and his excitement that he rarely hears. It's nice and rare to hear all of that but Ace can't help but wonder if he misses Pops... Well he'll see him when he gets back can't he? And in the meantime have a lot of adventures and meet lots of cool people and have a wife with a really stunning pair of new boobs.]
Ahh Marco...
[he turns his head so if Marco is willing he can scritch a new place]
What is your dream?
Ahh Marco...
[he turns his head so if Marco is willing he can scritch a new place]
What is your dream?
My dream?
[SUPER FUCKING SUBJECT TO CHANGE/RETCON BECAUSE THANKS CANON.]
[At first he's really tempted to say "To live forever." But that's kind of more a fear than a dream.]
[To live every day to the fullest.]
[And if Whitebeard's and Ace's were to have a family...]
[Then Marco's is just to be their guardian angel and see that dream come through.]
[But he also wants to see the end of the World Government.]
[He wants to live up to the god of war he's named for.]
[He wants to explore.]
To see all my dumbass little brothers happy and fulfilled.
[He wants to kick Blackbeard's ass, free all the fishman, stop slavery in all the universe, and be a literal fucking star.]
I'm okay with just starting on you here and having fun pulling out all the stops to make that happen, yoi.
[And then Thatch. Thatch would be hardest.]
[But it would give Grell time to adjust. Not that she needed it, she was always trying to race ahead into the future, which was just as well, because Marco was always living with both feet planted firmly in the past.]

[Ace smiles fondly and bats at Marco's sash]
What kind of selfish pirate are you?
[he's supposed to be more selfish than that]
But don't start on me, yoi. Find someone that can actually make it work.

[Stalks Ace down to kick him in the face and plant his boot there.]
[Hi.]
[Hi.]
[he's not talking to him because of things so suck it. But he will turn around to bite Smoker's ankle]
[Tugs him up and forward for a hard kiss.]
If you missed me, just say so, moron. You don't have to embarrass me in front of everyone to get my attention. You already have it.
[HE'S MAD TOO, but... only in the permanent state of his existence way.]

[Ruffles Ace's hair with one-hand.]
If you're the hardest one to make happy that just means I'll have an excuse to work forever at it.

Nooo donnn't [whines and flops on his lap looking up in appeal]
It's too heavy. I'd rather see you happy then fight all the time. [and what if he fails and it makes Marco sad or make him feel like a failure?]
Please don't?

[pulls back from the kiss and puts a hand on Smoker's face to push him away]
I didn't miss you. [more than a little] I just wanted to antagonize you.
[grrr grrr]

[grrr grrr]
[See now, Smoker communicates 100% through actions and doesn't know how to read through them better than what they are.]
[So he just steps back.]
Fine.
Mission accomplished.
[One foot metaphorically out the door.]

[snorts]
Is that what you came here for? To be all bitchy and show that you have the upper hand?
[slow clap] Great job. I know my place.

[PUNCHES!]
I THOUGHT You wanted my attention?
And what upper hand?! What the hell are you going on about, Portgas?

YOU! You're confusing as shit! [punches back!!] I don't get you!
GREAT! THE FEELING'S MUTUAL!
[BOTH FISTS AT HIS SIDES.]
[BOTH FISTS AT HIS SIDES.]
Mutual here too! [both fists at his sides] Why did you come all this way if you said you didn't want it anymore?!
What are you talking about?
[No really. He doesn't get it.]
[No really. He doesn't get it.]
You said it. [huff] On that compliment thing. [arm fold]
No?
[Thinking thinking...]
[Rubs his eyebrows.] What did I say? Exactly, as I asaid it, Portgas. Word for word.
[And he grabs a seat by a wall.]

How the hell can I remember?! [growl] Something like you wouldn't miss it if it were gone.
[not that he cares. Huff. Snort. Grrrrr]
[not that he cares. Huff. Snort. Grrrrr]
[Gets up, pulls Ace in for a really hard kiss... again.]
[Drops his voice low and dark into Ace's ear.]
I miss your stupid freckles and every single expression you make every god damn day you don't stop by and say hi, idiot. And even some you do.
