He remained silent as Law’s voice echoed softly, filling the space between them. His chest tightened with an unfamiliar warmth, and for a moment, all he could do was watch him. Everything about Law was captivating—the way he moved, the way his voice carried that quiet intensity, even now, as he +

The adorable color on the birthday boy's face would be mirrored on his own while he eyed the little black envelope that laid flat on the table. "Please read that.. whenever, in private if you like--", just a suggestion. He might risk a swift death if he read it now.

Ace's eyes widen slightly as Law lights the candle, the flickering glow casting soft shadows on his face and revealing the faintest blush on his cheeks. For a moment, he’s at a loss for words—a rare occurrence. His gaze shifts between the candle, the cake, and finally Law, an undeniable +

envelope. But first, Law lit the candle and looked at him expectantly. "Go on, make a wish.." There had been several ideas thrown at him by his crew, most of them embarrassing and unhelpful, but someone had had the sense to suggest.. something nice.

He meets the brief kiss with his own, a satisfied smile tugging at his lips as they part, though the space between them remains minimal. "I'm glad you liked it. Even if it's something so simple..." Before Law can respond, Ace pulls him in gently but firmly, closing the gap between them. +

"Aw, c'mon, you look great in Christmas colors! I mean, who else could make a sweater like this look so good? You’re practically festive royalty now." Though he reveled in the fun of provoking Law, his attention shifted as he looked down, his fingers slipping into his bag with careful +

Ace’s face lights up the moment he sees the sweater, a wide grin spreading across his features as he eagerly puts it on. "These are awesome—suits you perfectly." He says with a playful grin, but his expression shifts the moment Law reveals the second gift. +

But of course, he has another present for him, which he reveals soon after in the palm of his hand, "I collect jewelry often, rings, pendants and such.. this one made me think of two brothers. I thought you might like to wear it.."

//I’ve been a bit inactive because I’m sick. I promise I'll reply to everyone tomorrow.

"OTÁRIO MOLENGA." Berrou antes de finalmente ocupar a própria boca, cravando os dentes no ombro de Jane, onde mordeu e grudou ali, sem se mover, apenas apertando mais e mais da mordida.

Se inspirou em correr o mais rápido que podia, dando impulso o suficiente para pular e se agarrar nas costas alheias, envolvendo o pescoço dele com ambos os braços. "Perdeu tudo, irmão."

"Oh, come on! I thought we were having fun." He slowly gets off, still wearing a mischievous smile.

He listens to Law's confession, the words settling in like the warmth of sunlight on his skin. His grin softens, turning almost sheepish as he feels his face grow a little warmer—a rare occurrence for someone like him, who hardly ever felt shy. But here he was, smiling like a fool, +

words, his mind running to catch up with Ace's last remark. "No-- I mean, it's scowl or roll my eyes at most people. You're obviously an exception.. I can't stop smiling when I see you" The last bit of that confession is hurried, the look on his face betraying how affected he was.

He sits down on Kael's back, resting comfortably. "Guess this is the perfect spot for me to take a break too."

NOOOooo Another hot day •He lies on the floor face down•

He let out a warm, low laugh, shaking his head. The idea of it being strange didn’t even cross his mind. Law, with his sharp edges and quiet intensity, was exactly the kind of person Ace would be drawn to. “Doesn’t matter what you say about yourself. You could spend all day dissecting people, +

rolling my eyes. If I like you even a little, I'll info dump you about.. things--" He didn't mean to say this little speech the way he did. He's genuinely surprised Ace is apparently, into him. And warm in his chest. Even if he tries to keep it at bay.

No concussion here, but if it gets me some extra care from you, I might just fake one.

When he cupped his chin, Ace’s lips curled into a quiet, close-lipped smile, his gaze locking intensely with Law’s striking grey eyes. There was something about the way Law looked at him—sharp, curious—that Ace couldn’t ignore, though he wasn’t about to admit it outright. “You really shouldn’t +

Ace raises an eyebrow at Kael’s bold response, his fingers tracing the rim of the glass as the waiter set the wine on the table. He picked it up smoothly, swirling the liquid before leaning slightly closer to the Vice Admiral. "Say things like that, and I might just take you up on the offer." +

• Kael chuckles at the awkward silence and shakes his head, looking away. As soon as Ace talks to him again, he looks at him sideways.• Well Maybe I want to be eaten, who knows? ~

Marineford was a painful memory—a constant reminder of sacrifices that left him feeling both guilty and deeply loved. He let the thought linger for a moment before brushing it aside with a faint smile. "Everything that happened at Marineford left its marks, sure, but nothing I can’t handle." +

He lifted a finger to call the waiter, his confident grin unwavering as he spoke casually: "The most expensive wine you’ve got. Right now, please." The waiter hesitated, his eyes briefly scanning Ace as if trying to gauge whether he could actually afford such a request. Was it that obvious Ace’s +

•Obviously Kael was suspicious of this, because look closely at Ace. He didn't look like he had a lot of beri. But he just accepted the situation.• Lovely, I'll be waiting for the wine then, dear.~

His gaze softened as he looked into those stark grey eyes, allowing the closeness to linger. Despite having known him for such a short time, he realized there was a trust between them that felt as natural as breathing. Law’s careful touch didn’t bother him—instead, +

"What, you thought I’d let it end like that?" He wraps his arms around him just as tightly, his hold firm and warm. He lifts him slightly off the ground, a soft laugh escaping as he feels Luffy sobbing against him. "Missed you, little brother."

"Ace, you're alive!?" He hugged him tightly sobbing

Luffy! Long time no see. ~

@flameflameace.bsky.social "ACE!?"

He smirks, his mind briefly drifting to the thought of how empty his pockets are and how he’d probably have to make a quick getaway if the bill came. "Of course, the most expensive wine is the least you deserve. Consider it done, darling."

Ace felt the warmth of his hands on his waist, an unexpected comfort that brought a genuine smile to his face. He couldn't help but feel a sense of ease in the closeness. “Not usually speechless? I’ll try not to get the wrong impression then... +
