[It all came out as chirps and ignoring yooooou.]
no subject
NOT TO EAT HIM. But, because he was warm and if Thatch was guarding the storehouse, maybe he could use him as barter for something.]
no subject
[Have some phoenix snuggles. Marco is too sleepy to even notice/care/worry about going to the kitchen.]
[Also have some shooshpaps with a wing. There there, Margie doesn't know what she's missing. It's her loss. Totally.]
no subject
Ace forgot that he had to actually get practice talking to girls that way before he could jump straight into suave territory. Also, it was tough to look cool when a majestic phoenix was comforting you with shooshes. Though, admittedly it was still much cooler than one would expect.
He really didn't notice any of this as he began to open drawers looking for sandwich bread.]
no subject
What'd you say? Keep in mind, she's native to this world, and we don't really know what her deal is, so you might want to try flirting with someone on the ship first.
[He's gonna go back to sleep on your shoulder now, but keep talking and getting sandwiches.]
no subject
[He paused, managing to find a few bits of wrapped, salted beef. That was good enough for a lack of bread, he thought. Though, he kept looking anyway, because he knew Marco would skip that.]
Anyway, I tried to ask Margie to lunch after I hinted I'd like to hang around the shop. I figured if I were a repeat customer, she'd get to know me a bit.
...She let me down gently, but I got the impression I shouldn't have been pushy. I skipped a step.
no subject
Didn't -- [YAWN] Selphie snuggle you the other night?
And that's your problem, mate. Sounds like you made it sound like you just wanted to date her for the sake of a discount.
no subject
[Completely self-defeating, more like. Still, Ace wanted to bite his tongue, since he realized Marco was probably more spot-on than he thought.]
Still, I'm not their type, anyway. Seein' as they're not really willingly bein' pirates... [He still managed to smile at that, at least. Selphie included. Ace assumed she let him stick around because he was warm and he presumed the same because she was probably just being nice to him as the Captain.] I don't think it'd work. Sometimes, I think I'm holdin' everyone hostage with this whole get-up. I wanna give 'em what they want, but it still feels like I'm reachin' too far.
no subject
[Have a giant squishy glomp.] Oh. Did we kidnap you into the Whitebeard crew? Were you our hostage? [All the deadpan sarcasm forever.]
What makes you think it's any different, stupid? You want to know something? I was really pissed off at you acting as captain first. Especially over my head. But the more you do things like this, exactly like Pops would, the more I know you're exactly where you should be.
[Gently plays with Ace's black floppy hair.] You're trying too hard to be something you're not. Don't worry about being perfect for now, just exist and be yourself. The rest will come to you.
And if you want to date a girl, don't do it so half-heartedly, eh? You're always at your best when you go in with your full conviction.
[Slumps his head back down onto Ace's shoulder.] Now make me a sandwich, yoi. I'm too sleepy for this. Cold makes me sleepy.
no subject
Still, he wanted Marco's company, so he went for the bread. Marco's touchy palette had meant that Ace would have to make him something plain. Oddly enough, he GUESSED hummus was a vegetarian topping and came out on top as a result. The odd assortment of condiments to follow, though, would probably surprise Marco.] Hrnn. [He grumbled.]
I don't wanna think like Pops just to think like Pops--I know I'm gettin' stronger... and I dunno if I'm gettin' smarter, but I think I'm gettin' to be mean enough in the good way.
The kinda way that Pops was--to keep people off his friends' backs.
[He calmed down, spreading the hummus with a butter knife, curious about the texture. Keeping his hands busy made the world somewhat easier.]
Which makes it worse for girls, too. I've been gettin' slapped a lot more, lately. I'm not exactly interested in havin' the girls on the crew get creeped out.
[Though admittedly, Ace was doing that already without so much as consciously trying.]
no subject
What exactly are you doing that you're getting slapped by the ladies? Did you try to stick them in the nurse's uniform? [This is not because he thinks you did, this is because Marco and Thatch are planning to ask a few of them to dress up for tradition's sake?]
no subject
[Ace stopped and stared at Marco, unable to answer a question he didn't hear if only because the blood rushing to his face demanded he ask another question instead.]
Would the girls do that, though!? What would it take!?
no subject
We might need to make it very worth their while too. [Since Marco kind of paid Pops' nurses a LOT in order to have them look pretty enough that Whitebeard would "listen" and the girls wouldn't be too offended.]
no subject
[Ace didn't have to infer that he was calling Marco lazy. His words did that plenty.
Still, he had to sort of drive the point home--]
Now you can finally stop building nests everywhere and do somethin' awesome!
no subject
[Actually screw that.]
[PECK PECK PECK!]

Even if he was fire, Marco could hurt him and that was just unfair... or, less unfair.]
no subject
What was that? Phoenixes rule and sparks are just our food??
no subject
You glittery jackass!
no subject
[This does indeed work, but Marco just goes with it to try to wrestle Ace to the ground.]
no subject
Unwittingly, aiming for the balls.]
no subject
[Fuck you Fire-man.]
[Headbutt.]
