[is a little startled by all of this but takes the time to digest it rather than acting out of instinct because it's important and he's not Luffy after all.
After a moment he takes the newspaper that hit him this morning, rolls it up and bops Smoker lightly on the nose]
Bad.
[before chucking it aside and hugging him because he can so deal with it]
[He knows where to go to the bathroom, don't even make that joke.]
[He's still a bad dog.]
[Proof of which, he leans over to nip at Ace's ears and neck again.]
Sorry you took it seriously. I don't actually never want to see you again. If I did... I'd just come out and tell you. Or stop talking to you altogether.
[Takes Ace's hat off and runs a hand through it, before pulling his glove off with his teeth so he can get a better feel for Ace's hair.] You good now?
[shivers. He likes it a little bad. He purrs happily at the touch, pushing Smoker back against the wall so he can still kind of hold him but keep his hands free at the same time to run over his ribs]
Yes. [nuzzles Smoker's throat] Good Taisa. Best friend.
[Grunts, guh... he needs better control... stupid Ace...]
[All the blushing.]
Shut up.
[Fiddles. He needs cigars, but for now, he leaves out, since lighting up a pair at this point will just be wasteful... probably.]
I still might kill you next time. If you ever do something that stupid again.
[He won't. And just nibbles Ace's ears, and pulls off the other glove, stuffing them in pockets, and then runs his hands over Ace's hips, tugging him close.]

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.]
no subject
I didn't miss you. [more than a little] I just wanted to antagonize you.
[grrr grrr]
no subject
[So he just steps back.]
Fine.
Mission accomplished.
[One foot metaphorically out the door.]
no subject
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.
no subject
I THOUGHT You wanted my attention?
And what upper hand?! What the hell are you going on about, Portgas?

[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.]
no subject
[not that he cares. Huff. Snort. Grrrrr]

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.

I lied.
Banter is just banter. It's how I play. I bite hard. Like a puppy with boots. It just means I like your smell.

What, tease you? What's wrong with that?
no subject
Not that... but didn't you think your brother might see it or--
someone you'd rather didn't?
[Leans back and coughs, rubbing his face and over his eyes with one hand, one still rested on Ace's hips.] My boss.
no subject
[if Luffy sees well Luffy sees. He's old enough to deal with it. Though if Smoker is worried about his boss. Ace starts to pull away a little]
Are you going to get in trouble?
1/2
Relax.
[Smoker tugs Ace in again via an arm around Ace's neck, gruffly hooked at the elbow.]
