Nice of them to leave my jacket. [AWKWARD PAUSE. The voice coming from Smoker's journal account is not his usual. Or from a male at all.]

What's with my voice?! [That just squeaks there in high-pitched worry.]

Ah hell... I have boobs.

Fuck you Malnosso.

[He... she rather, clears her voice.]

S-Smoker is back... [That's a bit hesitant.] Ikki, he... he might need help. Jitte and kickboxing lessons will return to normal, sorry everyone about the delay. Could I have a headcount of everyone still wishing to take them? I might need to reorganize his schedules.

[The last part is muffled as he starts to shut the journal.]

Damn it! These jeans are way too big! Now what?!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Shivers and goes for a walk outside, once they're away from enough people, he'll unzip again. Because fuck shirts, that's why. And he doesn't care what Ace thinks of him. Or so he keeps telling himself.]

This place... [He'd been cooped up too long, that's all there was to it.]

You told me once that fighting just because we're marine and pirate is stupid. You still think that applies? [Freshens his cigars to allow him time to pause and let everything sink in.]

[He puts his hands in his pockets and really thinks about this. If he meant here, then...]

Here... yeah, it's stupid. What would we accomplish by fighting here? Nothing. [He shakes his head.] It's pointless.

Good. [Relieved note and drops the hands from his face, looking up with bigger eyes than normal. Looking up. He was never going to get used to this.]

I need...

Someone equal. [After the kiss the whole thing seems more intimate than he wants to admit.] For training. [His ears are bright red, though with luck it'll be dark enough not to be too easily observed. And he just mumbles, kicking some snow.] You're the only equal I've got.

[He's pretty surprised by the sudden confession. He never thought he'd hear those words come from Smoker. But still, he needs help.]

Sure, if you want. I need to be kept busy, anyway.

[That was almost too easy. In his head, Smoker had worked it up to be some big deal that he'd have to talk Ace into. He's almost disappointed. He had words planned. And Smoker doesn't prepare words!]

Just like that?!

[Was their enmity really that one-sides all along?]

Aren't you worried about me using it to catch your brother?

[Granted, it was the same argument Smoker had already had with himself, that he could get stronger without Ace, but not here in stupid Luceti, and he wasn't going to catch Luffy here so it was moot. Still though, Portgas' instant acceptance had thrown him off.]

Is it the boobs? [Practically flashes Ace by gesturing down now that they're unzipped.] Because they'll be gone in a week or two, whenever the Malnosso get bored. Sooner if I can manage it. [Huffs and folds his arms, looking up at Ace expectantly awaiting his answers.]

Tch. [He just rolls his eyes.] Would you rather I put up a fight?

[He shoots him a wary glance.] "Know your enemy first" or something, right? If I know your moves, I can stop them whenever you try to get Luffy.

[YOU GET A LOOK AT THAT, SMOKER. Seriously. It's not just the boobs.] No, it's not. But hell, it can be, if you want. You're acting like you like me, so... [Shrugs.]

I'm not going to catch Straw-Hat here, it'd be pointless--

ACTING LIKE I LIKE YOU?! [Normally it'd be thundered, now it's just sort of squeaked.] You wish! I wouldn't chase you if you were the last pirate here! Or anywhere! [Kicks his shins. Because that is what tsundere people do with people they have no interest in. Like. Totally.]

[And then he just bursts into laughter, the kick not even fazing him.]

Well, looks like I was right. Don't worry, I'm sure it'll go away when you're back to normal.

[He's gonna try to punch that smug smirk right off Ace's face. Stupid sexy smirks. HAVE AT THEE!]

Right nothing! [Another cute growl.]

[He ducks and swerves to come behind her.]

Yeah, I'm completely wrong. Exactly why you're trying to hit me.

It is!

[Vaguely wonders how Ace moved that fast, but decides that's the only advantage to this smaller body, so kicks out behind him aiming for Ace's legs.]

If I had a crush on you, I'd try to kiss you, not punch you! And I don't kiss pirates! [Despite what your memory of 5 minutes ago might lead you to believe :|]

[Blocks the kick. And just stares. DID YOU FORGET WHAT JUST HAPPENED.

Sure, he started the kiss, but hey, you kissed back. So yes. This is a look.]

[Luckily for Smoker, this type of look has no effect on him. Unlike the grins. So he follows up with another punch, just not letting up the attacks.

Smoker also, apparently, takes no responsibility for what his evil sister did when he wasn't looking.

He also hasn't zipped up again either so he's pretty much flashing way too much with every turn. ~~This is why bras are a good thing.~~ However, since Ace hasn't been taking any extra notice or getting distracted, he's starting to think maybe Ace just -gasp- meant the things he said before, which does nothing to quell Smoker's tiny fists of raaage.]

[And he will just keep dodging, smirk on his face all the while.

And you know, it's hard not to look at those giant boobs when they keep coming right in your face. So he's going to stop, and look her in the face.]

You should probably zip up your jacket now.

[NOPE. He refuses to zip, just because Ace said it would be a good idea. Just aims another punch for Ace's jaw, stuck noticing the freckles again. And how short he is now. And god damn it Ace, stop smiling. Put this down for the worst week ever please.]

Fuck off pirate. [Feints another punch to aim a kick at his knees.]

[Okay, fine. He blocks the punch with one hand, and grabs her foot and tries to flip her with the other.]

Wow, you can't make up your mind. Let's clear this up now. Do you want to spar, or should I just walk away?

[Eyes widen as he gets flipped. Definitely didn't remember Ace being this good, but then it could just be the girl thing.]

Spar.

[Disgruntled growl.] But I'm not zipping up! [Stubborn.] So deal with it. [Folds arms over his chest. Isn't it funny how he thinks this is somehow a punishment to Ace?]

[He shrugs calmly.] Okay.

[He just raises his eyebrows. Whoa, did really just say that?] If you're sure, then...

What?

[Confused marine get. Shouldn't there be more of an explosive reaction? Like "Don't order me around" or something like that? ~~Of course, that's just how Smoker would be.~~]

Do kisses make you brain dead? More than usual that is.

[Don't you love how 30 seconds ago he pretended it never happened? Anyways getting close and peering up Ace mockingly as though trying to find out if Ace has a concussion of some sort.]

[...facepalm. Oh god, Smoker, you really don't get it. He thought you were stupid, but not this stupid.]

You really don't get it, do you...

What's to get?

[Growl growl, folds arms.] It distracts you, right? You're probably the type who'd get distracted by Boa Hancock in the middle of battle.

It doesn't distract me. It's just most girls wouldn't want to flash their boobs at guys.

[And then he gets a little pissed.] I was a bit busy at the time. I didn't really care for Hancock then.

Well, I'm not really a girl, so how does it matter?

[Big eyes keep looking up at Ace. So this time the time period update was really hitting him hard, huh?] She's basically dating your little brother anyway. [Rolls her eyes. To explain there was a time when Hancock was in Luceti and that is how Smoker got that impression.]

You have a point, b--

[REWIND THERE. He will just. Stare for a while. ~~And not at the boobs.~~]

She's WHAT?!

[KIND OF SMUG NOW. Ahahaha. :3 He knew something Ace didn't. About his own brother. Aw yeah.]

It's probably not current anymore, seeing as she got sent home from Luceti ages ago, but still. They were being disgusting on the journal and everything. [It was gross! Actually she was trying on clothes and it sounded dirty, but throw in Smoker's keen hearing and loathing of them both and it wasn't a good combination.]
