[justicereigns]

[....]

[He hates you.]

[And puts it back on.]

[And is red and hiding his face.]

[Hates you so much.]

[So much he even drinks his bait green tea with a grimace. Why did he do that.]

[Oh right, he's in the presence of a D.]

[Don't ask questions.]

[orangeoutlaw]

[Ace cracks up. It's too easy. It's so easy. It shouldn't be so fun but it is. He laughs so hard he nearly falls out of his chair and has to lean on the counter.]

You are so dumb!

[he may even be wheezing a little]

[justicereigns]

[DEEP BREATH.]

[KICKS THE STOOL OUT FROM UNDER ACE.]

Screw you.

[orangeoutlaw]

Shit!

[lands on his ass on the ground. But he's still grinning so hard his face hurts. He gets back up though and grabs his stool, stealing Smoker's ramen once more but keeping the bowl in front of him so he can lean in close and be obnoxious.Slurping it all down]

You have a big heart too you know, Smokey brat. [hair ruffle!]

[justicereigns]

I DO NOT!

[FLAILS AND SNAPS HIS TEETH AT ACE'S HAND.]

[orangeoutlaw]

[laughs again and then just rests his cheek on his fist and grins at Smoker.]

Liar.

[justicereigns]

[>:|]

[Punches.]

I really don't know what you're talking about.

Moron.

[orangeoutlaw]

[just call him Ace Fire Face]

I'll keep your secret. [such as it is]

Thanks for the food. And the company. [whaps Smoker's shoulder in a friendly way]

[justicereigns]

There's no secret!

And I'm not keeping you company! You just keep doing stupid things and someone has to keep the city safe, and if you're the only one I keep out of trouble, then fine, my conscience can rest easy!

[LITERALLY BRISTLING LIKE AN ANGRY CAT OR DOG. HE HATES YOOOOU.]

[orangeoutlaw]

[Ace's grin just widens. He can't help it. Smoker is adorable when he fights for his pride. Ace has to resist the temptation to mush his cheeks together and abububu in his face.]

Good thing this place has you around then, huh?

[justicereigns]

[Punches and flails again!]

YOU JUST SHUT UP!

[ALL HIS HATE.]

[orangeoutlaw]

Haha okay.

[he will, if only because he's really cheered up and relaxed and he doesn't want to push Smoker too far. Ace wants to be able to come pick at him again]

Have a good night, alright?

[justicereigns]

[Facepalm.]

Just. Settle the fuck down, all right.

[Huffs and scoots his stool slightly away from Ace and tries to eat some more ramen.]

So the only thing weighing on you was Adela?

[orangeoutlaw]

[Ace blinked in surprise then puffed his cheeks out, stealing Smoker's ramen bowl as soon as it landed. That had been a good exit line! You couldn't just sully a man's good exit line! Especially when he was pulling ahead and you knew it.

Ass.

Now Ace's only options were to sit here and wait for a better exit line; hoping Smoker didn't beat him to the punch-- or get up and leave pretending he'd never heard him.

But the latter wasn't Ace's style.

And even if he was, leaving when Smoker was in concerned protector mode would only be a disservice and make Ace look like a ninny.

Jerkface.]

Yeah? What else would there be?

[justicereigns]

[Cranes his head over at Ace.]

[Weirdo.]

[Well, he's not going to compliment a pirate, he hasn't fallen that much.]

Just seemed strange.

But I forgot who I was dealing with.

[WEIRDO.]

[orangeoutlaw]

Why would it?

[what the hell is with that look]

What else did you think it would be?

[justicereigns]

[Sigh.]

Something to do with mysterious messages I've been getting.

Apparently it's not a matter of whether I'm ready or not.

[orangeoutlaw]

....What the hell are you talking about?

[mufufufu]

And anyway what does that have to do with me? I haven't gotten anything.

[justicereigns]

Uh-Huh.

[DOES NOT BELIEVE IT AT ALL.]

I'd nickname you sparkly banana, but I'm pretty sure anyone overhearing it would assume something phenomenally dirty.

[orangeoutlaw]

[that surprises a laugh out of him then he grins and says in a low voice]

Well you can call it whatever you like we're alone.

[butt pinch!

Thatch has taught him well]

1/2

[justicereigns]

[DAMN YOU HE JUST STOPPED BEING RED!!!]

[WELL.]

[FIRE ENGINE COLOR AGAIN GET.]

[Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you.]

2/2

[justicereigns]

Shouldn't you save that for your girlfriend?

[Smacks back those hands and threatens to go for the jitte >:|]

[orangeoutlaw]

[AH!

There it is! Perfect.

It might be exit pursued by Marine but for just a moment Ace will have the perfect line.

He stands, giving Smoker a fond smile and pinches his cheek]

I think I'm satisfied.

[wink. and he'll head off into the night]

[justicereigns]

[BURIES HIS FACE IN HIS HANDS AND THEN ARMS ON THE COUNTER AND HIDES HIS HEAD IN THEM.]

[HE HATES PIRATES.]

[NEXT TIME PORTGAS...]

[He'll kick you harder :|]
