smokerxace set; alpha
chronology; hahaha, no order, I do what I want!
#1 - Comfort
The sound of his hushed breathing was a small comfort; knowing that he was safe, burning low and slow beside him, Smoker could finally close his eyes.
#2 - Kiss
Ace didn't like kisses; they were too close, personal to the point of violation and no matter what kind they were, he avoided them with a vengeance.
#3 - Soft
Everything about his lover was surprisingly soft; with their sheets spilled across him and the moonlight dancing across bare skin, he forgot to breathe.
#4 - Pain
He tells him, don't smile when I'm gone, there had been pain and then, Smoker smiles.
#5 - Potatoes
For one with such a vigorous appetite, Ace was rather hopeless in feeding himself.
#6 - Rain
Only he could ever convince a man like Vice Admiral Smoker to jump in rain puddles, let alone enjoy it.
#7 - Chocolate
They lay on his desk, not forgotten but untouched all the same; while they had been meant for him, Ace had always taken great delight in assessing his lover's worth.
#8 - Happiness
In times like these Whitebeard knew they should cherish whatever happiness they could find; but Ace was far too happy lately he notes wearily.
#9 - Telephone
"Did you miss me, babe?" Klack. Ace pouted, Smoker was in one of his moods again.
#10 - Ears
'What was the point of having ears, if he never made good use of them?' Smoker would always demand, but Ace did use them - he just chose not to care.
#11 - Name
Ace didn't like kisses, but he loved everything else he could do to him: licking, nipping, biting and pulling until finally, the man beneath him could bear it no longer and Ace tore his name free through those clenched teeth.
#12 - Sensual
It was unfair, cruel and wholly unjust that Ace looked even better fully dressed.
#13 - Death
The death did not come as a surprise; Smoker had looked forward to it somewhat, hell every marine did - but Smoker didn't stop him from taking comfort when he needed it.
#14 - Sex
The act of sex had never mattered to him, it was just bodies meshing, a temporary rush and then relief - but this insignificant act, he'd never share with another.
#15 - Touch
The one person he'd ever touch freely and wouldn't pull away from - no matter how tight the hold - was Luffy; Smoker hadn't realized he cared so much.
#16 - Weakness
One look from the giant of a man he called father and Ace stopped smiling, "I know what I'm doing, pops..."
#17 - Tears
He laughed so hard that his eyes watered; he was almost shamed by his lack of self control but one glance at Ace and he was completely gone.
#18 - Speed
It was the rush that did them both in; Ace had never lied about what he was and Smoker, he wanted it anyway.
#19 - Wind
It was so easy, this game they played; the terms were simple: wind 'em up and leave 'em - winner takes all.
#20 - Freedom
Smoker, despite his devil-may-care attitude and screw the authority mindset, feared freedom like nothing else, Ace knew.
#21 - Life
Ace still didn't know if his life is worth anything, but the way he's held right now tells him something...
#22 - Jealousy
"Just who the hell are you?" Hina was not amused that day.
#23 - Hands
Hands were shaken, discreet talks were handled with ill grace and threats had been made, before finally, Smoker was in his custody.
#24 - Taste
There was a sour taste in his mouth when he woke and his head immediately began to throb when he heard him, "Fancy seeing you here, White Hunter." There was a sick twisted pleasure in those dark eyes.
#25 - Devotion
He was far from the ideal mate and Smoker doubted that he'd ever truly be devoted to him, but he'd learned a long time ago to never expect anything from a pirate.
#26 - Forever
Forever had no meaning to either of them, but they were going to make this last just as long, if not longer.
#27 - Blood
His blood was everywhere but Smoker only registered the manic gleam in Ace's eyes; screaming and screaming, kill them all, show them pain, make them pay.
#28 - Sickness
"What did they do to you?" Tashigi had cried when Smoker was found, seemingly abandoned and alone on a deserted island; Smoker knew Ace, no, Fire Fist had been kind. A sick sort of mercy had been dealt.
#29 - Melody
Ace had really liked that music box, and no one onboard the Moby Dick escaped his wrath when he discovered its disappearance.
#30 - Star
A pirate valued his individuality and Ace was a pirate if nothing else; he didn't play any other role but the lead but Smoker's life already had a leading star - and that wasn't Ace.
#31 - Home
Smoker was trying (and failing) to hide his surprise (and pleasure) at this new turn in their relationship; not embarrassed in the slightest, Ace merely smiled in the face of the man he saw as home.
#32 - Confusion
He still wasn't sure who was had been more lost in that moment: his brother or his lover.
#33 - Fear
Smoker was introduced to the true meaning of fear when Garp came to visit.
#34 - Lightning/Thunder
There was madness and then Ace leapt into the fray, Smoker quickly followed - like always.
#35 - Bonds
His face was unreadable but the lines of his body told him more than Ace wanted to reveal, "She won't tell."
#36 - Market
Never in a million years would Smoker have expected this, this scene of domesticity that Ace single-handedly orchestrated; they were new at this, but it'll only get better.
#37 - Technology
Surely, Smoker thought, the advances in marine technology weren't supposed to be abused like this
.
#38 - Gift
Their pleasure rivaled one another's in intensity, but both were derived from one act: he for giving, the other for receiving; it was just a simple little thing with significance greater than anything in their world.
#39 - Smile
Smoker smiled more often now, Ace was happy to see; Marco smiles less and less.
#40 - Innocence
He may have fourteen years on him, but Smoker was still innocent, protected by his own tattered and beaten banner of personal Justice - Ace didn't have that luxury and clung to something else entirely.
#41 - Completion
He held his hand and they were complete, for the very first time.
#42 - Clouds
"That one looks like Luffy, that one looks like Luffy that one time when he..., that one looks like Luffy's ship..." Ace's observations were simple observations, but Smoker hears a lot more and worries about their future. "That one looks like his straw hat - boshi~!"
#43 - Sky
They clashed once, a storm of fire and smoke, in the clear Alabastan sky.
#44 - Heaven
Heaven was their time apart, when normalcy sets in again and they could breathe at their own pace; but they knew, Heaven wasn't where they should be or wanted to be.
#45 - Hell
Ace had always known he was going to hell, he was born for it; Smoker, though... didn't deserve it.
#46 - Sun
The more he got to know Fire Fist, the less he resembled the cocky pirate from all those years ago but his smile was still as bright as the sun.
#47 - Moon
The moon looked particularly lonely tonight... Ace sits out on the deck of his father's ship and wonders, what is he doing now?
#48 - Waves
When Ace finally bullied/nagged him into taking a vacation, Smoker had been reticent; but now, as the waves swayed gently beneath the lounging couple, the man smiled. Perhaps Ace had been right, just this once.
#49 - Hair
If there was one thing Ace ever took seriously, it was his hair; most of the hair products in tucked unobtrusively away in Smoker's cabin were his.
#50 - Supernova
"Those brats," Ace grumbled, "who the hell do they think they are?" Smoker didn't bother to point out that some of those Supernovas were older than he was.
