Dancing Dreams and Pretty Princes, Chapter 7

Prompt: Day 7, Free Choice—Coronation Ratings: General Audiences Warnings: None Relationships: Marco/Ace, Izou/Thatch Characters: Marco the Phoenix, Portgas D. Ace, Izou, Thatch

Chapter 7 of 7 for the @marcoaceweek event!

Soon after Marco let Ace know in private, they announced the news to the entire kingdom of Goa. Ace stood at Marco’s side as he declared it from the grand balcony overlooking the large plaza out in front of the palace. Thatch stood on his brother’s other side, Izou beside him. Each of them was grinning, wide and bright.

And when Marco proclaimed, “Dear citizens of Goa, from this day onward, I swear to devote my life to your kingdom, and do my best to do you right, as your king!”

Well, it was no understatement to say that the cheers could be heard all the way to Coconomi. They could feel the force of the crowd’s love from three stories up—there was no doubt they would welcome the Newgate family with open arms and wide smiles.

But what took Ace more by surprise was the way that, amidst all the shouts and proclamations of love and happiness, Marco looked to Ace, ever so softly took his hand, and pressed a kiss to the back of it, before raising it high in the air for everyone to see. Ace couldn’t stop grinning the rest of the day.

@marcoaceweek - Day 3: Feathers

MarcoAce week day 4: Competition ଘ(੭ˊ꒳​ˋ)੭✧

October 27: Feathers/Ink

"I won't steal your feathers if that's what you believe."

Marco sighed and shook his head at the comment. Wasn't it typical of him, to get so worked up over something, and then get the kind of reaction that makes his worrying worthless? Maybe he shouldn't feel bad about that, instead feel bad about how he expected to get any other reaction.

"That wasn't what I was afraid of, Ace. I- I thought you'd freak out, that you'd... leave."

He already knew that there'd be tears. He just didn't think they'd come from Ace first. Could he do anything else but hate himself now, when he'd made the person he cared about most cry?

Head shaking, slowly looking down, he acknowledged the tears forming in his own eyes. They ran down his cheeks like they were only fallen rain. Dripping down onto his shirt as they reached the end of his chin.

Suddenly, he felt Ace's hands lift his head, making their eyes meet. The sudden warmth made him melt inside. Why he fell in love with this man was obvious.

"I'd never leave you, Marco. I don't care if you're some creature of fire or secretly from Mars, that doesn't change my feelings. I mean, you haven't lied, have you? And the things you were keeping, you've told me now."

"I know."

Ace smiled at him and pulled him in close. "I love you, Marco."

He could feel his heartbeat, smiled back, and felt the big lump in his stomach disappear.

"I love you to."

MarcoAce Week Day 6: Nest

It's the night of Marco and Ace's wedding. Everything will definitely go well, right?

I didn't have much time to write stuff for @marcoaceweek unfortunately (thanks college), but I was able to do a few things! Hopefully, I'll get those up as well and have more time to fun write instead of school write.
