[Smoker laughed at that, it was just too good, too funny, too amazing, but shuddered like a wet dog, trying to keep up enough smoke, enough solidity, enough tension to just not literally fall apart, to finish out. It was easier now. Even if Smoker was still wondering what it'd be like to have Portgas' dick up his ass, and god damn it, why would he ever want such a thing, but it was too late to get distracted.]
[He whined and growled darkly into Ace's neck, trying to manage smoke, fire, and himself, putting the task on himself because he was older and he'd started it, and he'd asked for it, so he had no choice but to see it through. Gods but he was close, and he couldn't stand it. He wanted to cover Ace in kisses, and that drove him crazy too. A billion burning desires and all of them ending in flames.]
Ace...
[It was choked out, a whisper, nowhere close to in control, he just wanted the brat to know what he did to him, to actually believe and understand the effect he had on Smoker for once.]
[He took a deep breath, wrapped both his arms around the pirate's neck to hold him close in a bear hug, the rest of him still going out of reflex and desire and because he was far too gone to stop and he let go of the breath, shuddered again, and everything went white and spent as he shook onto the brat, and bit an earlobe to punish the brat for some indefinite crime. Probably of making a mess of them both.]
[He wanted to say something, to tell Ace something important, but he didn't have any words.]
[Just twitched a foot vaguely, moved to get to the side, and nuzzled into the side of Ace's ear again.]
Ahh [he couldn't stop the small noises that escaped him as Smoker kept going. His body was sensitive and twitching and it still felt good, almost too good, and still hurt almost too much. But he held onto him anyway.
Though Smoker choking out his name like that in that tone made him twitch for a different reason. Why did he keep saying it like that? It wasn't-- this wasn't-- Ace didn't know what this was but it wasn't anything like that. Like friendship and sex maybe but... but that? What was Smoker thinking?
He grumbled at the bite to his ear and then tried to think of what to do as Smoker held onto him and nuzzled him like a sleepy dog.
Stop being cute stupid! God!
But he should say something. Anything. This was too werid. Too intimate and not just in a handy and roll over/fall asleep on way. Like... like something else..
I was kidding. Relax Portgas. You don't have to try so hard. Especially not around me. [Eyeroll, and reaches for his cigars, holding them to Ace to light them up.] It'll just make things unnecessarily annoying.
And I don't need to sleep on anything.
I already know what I want.
[Rolls over onto his chest and drapes an arm over Ace's shoulders.] I've got it right here.
[be himself? Well he is but the question of whether or not Smoker appreciates it seems to depend. He rolls his eyes at the cigar thing and ignores the want thing]
What am I your moll? [he lights the cigars up anyway with a finger then gets out of Smoker's arm and gets up.]
[jsfydjiyk trips on his way in but pretends its a boot and tucks in the shower. And then turns on the water really hot not that he can feel it. And then just stands there.
[Tugs him in for a hard deep kiss, waste of good cigars, but fuck it, worth it. And he presses against Ace all over again.] I told you before. I'll do what I want. Don't try to protect me from yourself, I'll just get insulted.
It is. [pulls away] Friends and enemies and handys.
[because he frankly doesn't trust Smoker if he goes too far. It's like a cliff in the fog. It looks like it goes on forever but if you're not careful you'll fall and break yourself.
And Smoker is the fog that hides it. Ace knows it even if Smoker doesn't]
[Smoker watches Ace for a bit. The words just turning over in his mind.]
[No, that wasn't all it was, not by a long shot.]
[And it hadn't been since Smoker broke enough to kiss Ace in the first place.]
[Even knowing how Adela felt about him.]
[Stupid teenage pirate.]
[There's another blink and Smoker quells the sense of rage.]
[It's foolish. Portgas thinking he could set lines now, thinking he himself would abide by them, be satisfied with them.]
[Smoker steps back, and then out of the shower grabbing a cross-legged seat.]
No.
You figure out what you're comfortable with, but I've got more respect for myself and you than to lie like that. I told you before, you want lies? Go to your nakama.
I'm not one of your crew, and if I was just a casual one night stand, you wouldn't keep coming after me. Figure out what you want little Tomcat, but I'm not going to play by your rules, I'm playing by my own.
[he frowns. He doesn't like the distance while on the other hand it's a good thing]
Don't be an idiot. [what is he even saying. Ace can't figure it out. He doesn't want to figure it out]
I didn't say one night. Just-- whenever. [but that was it right there. He didn't know Smoker's rules. He didn't trust Smoker's rules. He didn't like him having all the control over everything. Yes or no. Ace had to be stronger than him and harder hearted-- so that when the cliff ended he'd know how to skirt down
He turns his back to Smoker and starts to wash himself under the spray]
That's fine. You play by your rules I'll play by mine.
