Being part of a crew that had a strong focus on medicine and hen she’d seen the shirtless man pass out in his food, of course Ikkaku’s first instinct was to rush over and make sure he wasn’t choking. Admittedly, she’d already been watching him, admiring the beautiful coloration in his tattoo, trying to figure out exactly where she’d seen it before, when he’d collapsed quite unexpectedly.

Still, that didn’t mean she wasn’t a little embarrassed when it turned out that he’d just been sleeping. “Sorry,” she said a little bashfully, red tinging her cheeks. “I’m Ikkaku. I guess I overreacted a bit. I hope I didn’t crack any of your ribs.” She knew she was strong for her size, considering how she had to lift a lot of heavy metal equipment and tools. When it came to stuff like this, she didn’t exactly have a delicate touch.

Well, at least this Ace character seemed just as embarrassed as she was, so she figured she’d break the ice a little for both of them. “Hey, at least I tried the Heimlich instead of CPR, right?” she joked.

“ i don’t think this is a good idea... “  is what she wants to say,  but the words fall flat as she finds herself following behind him.  she’ll trust whoever sabo trusts,  so she’s in no position to question ace’s plans.  instead,  koala clears her throat,  adjusting the brim of her hat quickly.  “ they’re really going to get a kick out of this! “  // @seconddivisioncommanderace​

@seconddivisioncommanderace Did Luffy come home last night? (Sabo)

“No, I don’t think so? Wait, I thought he was with you...” Sabo yawned at first, being morning when Ace approached him, then became a little concerned with Luffy not snoring loudly next to him. They all had their freedom now, with Ace and Luffy being pirates and Sabo a Revolutionary, Luffy was probably with his crew nearby if not with Ace..

(seconddivisioncommanderace) Sliding the bottle over to the other commander, Ace smiled. "I don't know what Marco and Thatch are up to, but I have time to spend, Happy Birthday."

@seconddivisioncommanderace

Smiling, Izo accepted the bottle. “Knowing them, they are busy with getting ready for the part later on. Thanks.” He took a large sip and hummed pleased. Sharing a drink with a good friend, even a brother, was most definitely the best way to kill some time.

“Getting older isn’t all bad. Especially not when I’m still looking amazing, have a great family and a place to call home.” His smile turned into a fond and pure one. Yes, he might be a year older, but at least he was still with those he called family. Even if there was some missing, he had them with him in his heart.

Though he was on the other side of the party, Ikkaku could practically see in her mind’s eye Law scoff and grumble about how Straw Hat wasn’t their friend, he was their ally and to not get too chummy.

Of course, that was hard to do when Luffy was doing just the worst impressions while telling the story about his crew’s latest adventure. It had been hard enough to hold back her giggles, but then Ace had broken down laughing, and any composure she’d been clinging to went flying out the window.

“Well, he saved my captain’s life and helped him get revenge against his worst enemy, so I’d say that’s a pretty solid foundation to build a friendship on,” she chuckled a little breathlessly, rubbing the back of her neck. She didn’t personally know Luffy too well yet, but while she might have resisted the Straw-Heart alliance at first, she now felt nothing but gratitude towards the rubber man for the closure he’d brought Law.

Well, most of the time. She’d felt plenty of annoyance that time he’d gotten into the engine room of the Tang and put his sticky hands on everything.

But that was neither here nor there. She had an introduction to make. Though she was sure it was more polite to return Ace’s bow, she instead stuck out her hand - her grandfather had always told her shaking hands was the best way to get the measure of a man. “No apologies necessary. I’m Ikkaku, top mechanic for the Heart Pirates. And the grumpy bastard in the spotted hat,” she added, pointing her thumb over her shoulder at Law, “is my idiot captain-slash-brother-in-all-but-blood.”

cc-one-piece-grand-adventurers Luffy: “◇“ for my muse’s reaction to yours suddenly grabbing and hugging them

Send me  “◇“  for my muse’s reaction to yours suddenly grabbing and hugging them- no longer accepting!

    All Ace had wanted was to have a meal in peace and quiet. However there was no such thing with Luffy around. But regardless, his little brother’s company would always be welcomed, even when he was knocking the wind out of him.

    The hug had been sudden and unexpected. As Ace took another bite of his meal, Luffy flew through the door and wrapped around him like a boa constrictor. Choking and wheezing, Ace turned, ready to fight the intruder until he realized who it was.

                  “Luffy! What in the hell are you doing here?!”

“Ace!” Luffy couldn’t believe his luck, somehow bumping into his older brother like this again. He was pretty much coiled himself around him happily with his extending rubber powers in glee, then let go after Ace started talking.

“Oh, we’re looking for Zoro! He got lost somewhere here, have you seen him?” Luffy answered with a grin, not too phased about his first mate being typically lost again. While the crew split up, Luffy noticed the vivre card Ace gave him reacting so rushed off.

“Are you still looking for that Black-stache-guy?” He tilted his head in thought, trying to remember what Ace told him last time.

“Of course Luffy told me,” Ikkaku said, smirking at him as she gestured for the bartender to serve up another round of drinks. “Well, technically he shouted it to the heavens and I overheard, but pretty sure that counts.”

She glanced around the room, grateful when she didn’t see any Marines or even any particularly dangerous-looking pirates. Not that she’d expected any, but the last thing she wanted right at that moment was a fight. The bar was noisy but the warmth was welcome after the bitter cold outside. Sitting beside someone like Ace also helped warm her up, since he radiated heat like a furnace.

“So, you doing anything fun to celebrate? Or are you like Law and have to basically be dragged kicking and screaming into acknowledging that it’s a day worth celebrating?” she asked, handing over some belli in exchange for hers and Ace’s drinks. Spinning in her stool to face him, she raised her glass. “Because if it’s the latter, be aware that I do not give up until the birthday boy is smiling.”

In reference to this post. ))

Yeah, I really like to explore that, because I think it would happen.  If Sabo and Ace lived together, they would have insecurities about the other.  Because of their closeness, they can sense it.  And there is always Luffy who will validate them.

But when they choose someone who loves the both of them, that’s when things can get messy.  I don’t just see this with Aceyuki and Saboyuki.  There is uncertainty, because they may know about the other but they don’t know about the person they’re in love with.  Miyuki may be predictable, but she isn’t that predictable.  There are things she hides from Sabo.  It will take time to get used to for Sabo I’m sure, as it would for Miyuki.

Both Sabo and Miyuki will be hurt from this, but a challenge is great to bring them closer.  Miyuki will not be able to explain what she feels for Sabo at first, but as it deepens she will have an idea.  Something that will put Sabo at ease during the times he does feel like a stand-in.
