Hey, couldn't get to the comm right away, probably out kicking things. Since that doesn't last long, leave me a message and I'll get back to you as fast as I can, eh?

Have a haiku.

There was a bluebird
Who was too busy for you
Leave me a message

You think so? He won't think it's stupid?

[hiken_ace]

No. But I think you're being stupid now.

[fierybluebird]

You're stupid.

[Runs a hand through his hair and down his face, scrubbing it.] Ahhhh promise me it'll be fine?

[hiken_ace]

You are, for worrying about such a little thing.

[SIIIIIIGH. Marco. pls.] Haven't I been saying that this whole time?

[fierybluebird]

Yes. [Leans his head on Ace's shoulder.] Love you bro.

I'm a little nervous still, but way less. Promise. [This is true. Very true because he wouldn't be able to admit the first part otherwise.]

[hiken_ace]

[Awww. He'll take pity on you, and rub your head a little.] Love you, too. And I don't know what good it'll do, but don't worry. Luffy'll be okay with it.

[fierybluebird]

[Thank you bro! <3]

I hope so. You're just lucky I'm older, eh. Now it'll be even easier for you to explain about your girlfriend someday. Ideally anyway.

[hiken_ace]

[YOU OWE HIM. Hnfhgngfdkhjfgth and stop bringing that up, man. he was trying to get one way before you.]

If I get one.

[fierybluebird]

You will. Give it time, eh. [Pats Ace's head and just HUGS.] Thank you.

[hiken_ace]

It's been months, and no progress. I'm tempted to just put it on hold.

[But now he's a little confused.] For what?

[fierybluebird]

You don't have to be actively looking so long as you promise me you'll keep meeting New Feathers, eh. [He just wants you to be happy and living your life.]

Mah, for all of this. For helping me even when I'm trying to be the one that helps you.

Believe it or not Ace, I really admire you, eh? [Ruffles Ace's black hair.]

[hiken_ace]

I will, I will. [He scrunches up his face at the ruffles, but he grins.] Someone's gotta help you. But isn't admire a bit much... [You embarrass him.]

[fierybluebird]

[Oh his god. Cutie. If he knew it was this easy, he'd have done this ages ago. He tugs those cheeks a little though. Cutie.]

Yeah, I know, kind of ridiculous for the older brother to admire the younger brother, but I mean it. [Pokes those cheeks back in.]

[hiken_ace]

[Make up your mind, Marco. He just sticks his tongue out at him.] All I can see you admiring are my looks or my social skills.

[fierybluebird]

I'll bite you.

[Flicks Ace's forehead.] I admire your bravery too.

[hiken_ace]

I dare you. [You think it won't happen why, Ace.]

You mean my recklessness? Don't, it gets you in some awful situations.

[fierybluebird]

[Seriously Ace, he will. God. He's fucking kissed you naked before. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DARE HIM TO BITE?]

[And Marco shakes his head.]

No, I don't mean your recklessness. That is like your fire. Remember when you were weaving the hat for Little Oars Jr. and I said it'd be a good idea for control? [Waves a hand. That is a tangent, so never mind.]

I mean, your bravery. [Taps Ace's chest lightly over his heart.]

You do things I'm scared to like it's nothing. Even when I know you're afraid. You live on here and keep going, keep pushing when any other exceptional man would have broken long ago. You're the bravest man I've ever known. Reckless maybe, but brave.

[hiken_ace]

[WELL, HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING, SO ACE WINS.

And wow, way to make Ace feel embarrassed, yet happy.] It... makes me happy to hear you think that much of me.

[fierybluebird]

Actually... [Really quiet for a bit.]

I kind of envy and admire a lot about you Ace.

[Not just the dying to protect.]

You had the same dream as Pops you know? That... that's why I admire your social skills, okay?

[Shoves Ace towards the door.] Okay get going on your trip already, I can't take being this honest another second, it'll kill me.

[hiken_ace]

[At hearing those words, Ace becomes a little more flushed, pulling his hat over his eyes. This is a lot to take in. After Marco tries to get him out, he whips around and tackles his brother in a huge hug. No words, just a hug.]

[fierybluebird]

[Okay okay. Giant hug!]

Idiot favorite brother.

[Hug.]

[hiken_ace]

[Never letting go, so deal with it.] Love you.

[Now he can't help grinning. But partly because he also won gay chicken without having to do anything. >>a]

[fierybluebird]

Brat.

Love you more. [He will bite you Ace. :|]

[Most straight brothers ever. Just laying there hugging forever. <3]

[hiken_ace]

I'm not a brat. [Psh, sure you will. Ace won this time, and he's going to quietly gloat about it.]

[fierybluebird]

[Gloat away. Marco's given up. He's just gonna keep hugging and finally ruffle Ace's hair.]

Aye you are. Doesn't mean I love you any less.
