Freedom and Family

"Ace" poke poke.

"Ace!" poke pok- he grabs the offending limb and Luffy yelps when Ace hurls him at the wall, where his brother makes a satisfying noise of rubber striking wood.

"You are awake!" Little brothers should not sound so happy about being tossed into walls. And they absolutely should not sound so awake this – early, late? – at this time of night!

The sound of rubber feet padding over the floor and then Luffy climbs into Ace's bed. The better to pester him.

Ace kicks him out.

Luffy climbs back in.

Ace resigns himself to no sleep and hopes that whatever has caught Luffy's fancy doesn't take long.

But Luffy is silent - and unnaturally still, breathing quietly into Ace ear where he is curled up next to him - for so long time, Ace figures he has fallen asleep. Just as he decides this is just another of his brother's strange whims and braces himself for the discomfort of an extra body’s warmth through the summer heat, Luffy's voice breaks the silence again.

"Do you want to be the Pirate King?"

"No."

"Is it because I'm gonna be the Pirate King?"

"No."

Silence again. And – had Luffy actually thought he was somehow standing in Ace's way?

"You're really strong."

"Mmmm."

"You could be, if you wanted to - I'd have to kick your ass because I'm gonna be the Pirate King, but you could be."

Ace wants freedom. He wants to roam the seas beholden to no one and nothing.

"No thanks."

Pirates Kings have public executions, not freedom. They have legends, not families. He has no use for Pirates Kings.

But he'll make an exception for Luffy, if his brother ever reaches his impossible dream.


"Want to be my first mate?"

"Sleep, Luffy."

This is perfect! So sweet and cute and perfectly Luffy. And this:

Pirates Kings have public executions, not freedom. They have legends, not families. He has no use for Pirates Kings.

That'd be Ace's impression, indeed! Aww.

Lovely story! Exactly how I picture Ace's thoughts about his future and life!

And young luffy is so cute XD

Most beautiful, and seems totally IC from what we know of these two - at this point, that is.

(Seriously, there's so many old fics - some of mine, too - about these boys' backstories that have suddenly become invalid after chapter 550 and 551. But we knew the risks setting out...)
