Title: All he needed to hear
Word Count: 285
Prompt: Three LIttle Words
Characters: Smoker, Ace

They stood on opposite sides of the deck, each in a stance that showed their refusal to back down.   Flames scorched the wood as a blanket of smoke sought to minimize the damage to the ship.   

“You really are a dog aren’t you?”  Ace let the flames flicker from his fingertips as he clenched and unfurled his fist.

“Hn.”

“I guess you think I’d just roll over and take it, don’t you?”

Smoker replaced the cigars between his teeth and narrowed his eyes.  “Hn.”

“Can you give me more than one word at a time?!”  Ace took a step forward and the fire crept up to his shoulders and licked at the ends of his hair.

“Hn.”  Smoker turned and looked out over the docks as he pulled his smoke back in.  A ball of fire hit the wall by Smoker’s head as Ace let his anger out. 

“Don’t you turn away from me, taisa…”

The wind carried the officer over to the angry young man and a column of white surrounded him, dousing the raging inferno before rematerializing into solid form.  Smoker’s arm pulled Ace flush against his chest and the raven had to turn his head slightly to keep his beloved hat from being singed by the smoldering cigars.  Questions shone in the pirate’s eyes as he searched his captor’s face.  A large hand pressed at the small of his back and Ace felt his body begin to betray him.

“Will you yield?”  Ace closed his eyes and prepared for yet another grunt for an answer.

Warm breath danced across his neck as Smoker spoke, and Ace decided that those were the only three words he ever needed to hear.

“Only for you.”

OOPS!! I forgot to put on here that this one doesnt count for this week's submission. It's one that I wrote 2 years ago. More or less, its just to help get people's attention and hopefully spark someone else to write.

Oh, this is lovely. ♥ It would have been a strong contender otherwise, if it were new. Thank you very much! Amazing how well it fit the prompt.

:D Thanks! If I'm not mistaken I think I wrote this for the original prompt on OPY100.

Well, I guess that would account for it, if so! Very nice execution!

I love this! I can visualize it very well, and of course at the end it's almost as if you can feel the deep rumble of Smoker's voice when he says those words.
