Characters: Marco, Shanks, Ace
Word count: 225
Prompt: Nuisance, still, I guess? And well, I guess it's reliance, too, but obviously I'm not trying to respond to my own prompt. This is a brief, somewhat silly follow-up drabblet to my fic Worth It from last week. Please let me know if this is not allowed!

 

At the next encounter between the Whitebeard and Red-Haired pirates, after squeezing their squirming and protesting 2^nd division commander breathless with affectionate relief and smacking him upside the head with the same, Shanks' inquiring gaze fell for a little longer than was strictly polite on the 1^st division commander's new eyepatch. When he noticed, Marco's left eye narrowed and stabbed a pointed look at the Emperor's missing arm; Shanks turned his head to hide a smile.

Ace used the brief distraction to escape out from under the Red-Haired's grasping arm and take refuge near Marco, who immediately reached out and shoved Ace's hat down over his eyes.

“Oi!” Ace complained, tugging it back up and dancing out of range of Vista's stealthy elbow jab from behind him. “What's with all the abuse?”

“Idiot,” Marco muttered, crossing his arms and looking sideways as Jozu sidled up to poke a hard knuckle into the side of Ace's ribs and make him yelp. The fire logia didn't seem to notice how he'd been subtly flanked by the division commanders, but Shanks had, and his eyes were twinkling.

“I guess it'd be no use asking you to join my crew, Ace,” he laughed. Marco snorted and turned to stroll away.

Ace grinned, eyes following his nakama. “I'm flattered, thanks, but nah—I think I'm good. ”

Eehee. >:3 I might be!

♥ I'm glad you liked it!! I didn't even know those Whitebeards were going to get all proprietary until they'd snuck in and surrounded Ace! They were like, ahaha, yes, very cute, Red-Hair, but we just fought and bled for him and he's ours, ahah. Hah. >:|

Eh, I thought it might be challenge-answering fics only.

(Totally, friend away! That truly is an impressive number of shared ships, not a thing to be overlooked! :D And some of my favorites, too.)

OoooOoooo~~

I LOVE THE POINTED LOOK MARCO GIVES HIS STUMP. FFFFFFF
WIN WIN WIN.

I WISH YOU WOULD WRITE MORE.

[zhadra-ahni.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, thanks for picking out the bit this was written around. :D I just had the idea of Shanks being all “Ohohoho, sacrificed your eye for him, eh?” and Marco being all “>:| You're one to talk, Akagami.” And I couldn't resist.

Write more of this specifically or write more in general? ^_^" Ahaha, I AM TRYING! Two ficlets in two weeks is vast improvement over nothing in seven years, でっしょう？

[thisistony.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, I have a knack, I guess XD

I just remembered that my Jack lost her eye for Ace, too XD ♥♥

More more! XD ♥♥ Either way works! I love your writing X3

So much fun, でしょう～？

[zhadra-ahni.livejournal.com]

Oh, I forgot about that! Heh, cool!

Hee, thank you! It is so much fun, that's why it can be dangerous to time-management, haha!

[zhadra-ahni.livejournal.com]

Thank youuu for commenting, I'm so happy you liked it, ♥. Whitebeard pirates are SO MUCH love. I think they might be a bit paranoid about Ace being stolen after this whole mess at Marineford, XD.


Ah, well, I thought since this was a challenge community and this isn't a fic participating in the challenge...>_> I guess nobody thinks it's a big deal, haha.

[catiprojectc.livejournal.com]
