Luffy had thought it would pass, this strange desire to be close to Ace, constantly so. Yet days turned to weeks and Ace didn�t stop staring and Luffy didn�t want him to stop. The heaviness in his dark gaze made her heart pound. It felt almost like when she was ready for a fight, the hot flash of blood in her brain and gasping for air through lips wet from flitting swipes of tongue, but she doesn�t want to hit him. Luffy longs for Ace to touch her - anywhere, any way he�d like.
But Luffy doesn�t understand why. Why is it such a different feeling from when they were younger, why her body yearns like it does, why Ace isn�t doing anything about it. She hopes being near him will quench the longing, that if she clings to Ace or hugs him more this heat will lessen. Increasing contact between them does nothing but make it worse - she�ll catch those black eyes watching her lips, and lick them to ease the tingle. It gets better if she applies pressure, running her thumb along the bottom one, which throbs the most. Again, it�s not what Luffy�s looking for. Her own touch isn�t satisfying.
It�s Ace�s lips she needs. Luffy craves them. But she still isn�t sure why.
The tension builds as Ace stares and stares but does nothing else and Luffy gets fed up with playing a game with rules she doesn�t know anything about. Annoyed beyond her - admittedly limited - patience, Luffy decides to seek out a little advice from the person who knows everything.
Luffy pays Makino a visit.
Ace is funny for sneaking in the back; she walks through the front door and into the mostly empty bar. Midday is a slow time - there are only two people to glance up in surprise as Luffy plops onto a stool at the counter.
Makino pauses in her cleaning, not laughing at the outrageous expressions of shock her customers were sporting. �It�s been a while since I�ve seen you, Luffy.�
�Not that long. Dadan still has some sake from your last visit. She says it�s the best!�
�Hold on,� one man interrupts. The guy next to him has beer leaking from his open mouth. �That�s really Luffy? Tiny, rubbery Luffy?�
�Yep!� Luffy stretches her cheeks, just in case they don�t believe her.
��You�re a girl.�
She blinks at them. �I was always a girl.�
�Uh well,� the first man yanks his friend up by the collar and backs away from their table. �Thanks for the drinks, Makino-san.�
�Come back soon, you two.�
�What with them?� Luffy asks as they beat a swift retreat.
�No one has seen you in years. You acted like a boy when it was difficult to physically tell the difference. They were�taken by surprise.�
�They didn�t realize?� Luffy scratches her head in confusion. Makino claims she acted like a boy, but she hadn�t been anything other than herself. Well, she�d yelled about becoming the Pirate King a lot. �So that means Shanks doesn�t know either?�
�He may not.�
Luffy spent some minutes just imagining the look on Shanks� face when he found out. Would he fall off his seat? She kinda wished she could be there. Then Luffy remembered why she�d come to Fuusha in the first place.
�I�ve got a bad problem,� she says. �Ace is weird, and it�s making me weird too! He stares at my mouth and chest a lot - my butt too, which is even weirder, what�s so great about that - and I feel hot all over when he does but mostly between my-�

�LUFFY!�
Luffy shuts up, impressed by Makino�s awesome new ability to turn the color of a tomato. �You look tasty, Makino.�
But the bartender doesn�t seem to be in the mood for teasing; she grabs Luffy by the arms and shakes her and shouts, �Are you having sex with Ace?!� more frantic than Luffy�s ever seen her.
�Sex?� Luffy frowns, thinking so hard her head starts to pound. She�s heard that word from the bandits before - oh. �You mean making babies?�
�That�s right. Are the two of you together in that way?�
�Ace won�t touch me at all.� Makino relaxes, letting go of Luffy. Then she says, �I don�t get how babies are made from sex��
Makino�s eyebrows and nose scrunch up.
�And I don�t know what sex is either. The hot feeling, does that have something to do with it?�
The bartender is quiet for several moments, eyes to the counter, where she smoothes a rag in rhythmic circles across polished wood. �How old is Ace now?
�Seventeen.�
�And you?�

�Fourteen next month.�
�Luffy,� Makino says gently, �the reason Ace won�t go near you despite his attraction is because you�re too young.�
�No I�m not! If I�m reacting like this Ace is just overprotecting me as usual. Whatever it is you both think I�m not ready for, you�re wrong.� Luffy grips the edge of the table until it groans in protest. �I want it. I want it so bad it keeps me awake at night. So don�t tell me I�m too young.�
Understanding Luffy cannot be swayed, Makino says, �It�s a bad idea for anyone your age to engage in sex.� Luffy�s jaw is set. �But since it�ll happen either with my help or without it, I can at least teach you enough to be safe.�
�Thank you!� Luffy vaults over the table to draw Makino into an enthusiastic hug. �Please tell me everything.�
She sighs imperceptibly. �Where to start��
Makino talks about the basics of what goes where, using books as a picture guide when words fail her, and then Luffy starts asking questions about what she can do to make Ace feel good even beyond what the tab-A-in-slot-B imagery offered. Makino falters, the tight control keeping her embarrassment at bay shatters a little, and Luffy only gets a few choked out pointers before the bartender puts her foot down and changes the topic. She closes the Party Bar for the afternoon to take Luffy shopping for what Makino claims are necessities.
The General Store cashier, a girl too young to clearly remember when Luffy lived in their village, watches with shocked eyes as Makino slaps four different colored packages down to pay for. The girl rings them up quickly and fumbles with one of the boxes. Luffy doesn�t see why plain-looking items would engender such a response as their purchases are stuffed into a paper bag and Makino drags Luffy by the wrist through the bar and straight upstairs.
�Makino, why was that girl acting so strange?� asks Luffy, when they�re sequestered in the bartender�s bedroom.
Makino clears her throat and the simple action tells Luffy she better pay attention to what is about to be said because it�s Important and repeating it might actually kill her. So Luffy frowns and concentrates fully on what�s being explained instead of how much fun she and Ace can have now Luffy will know how to use the secret technique of the strangely shaped adornments she doesn�t really get why they need but should use anyway for Makino�s peace of mind.
With her new knowledge Luffy plans the best ways to get Ace to admit defeat and take her to bed, but if she just jumps him they�re more likely to fight than have sex. So Luffy plays instead, doing what she�d been doing quite naturally up until now, creating opportunities for them to touch as much bare skin together as she can get away with.
Piggyback rides are easy to plead for, and Luffy sits closer to Ace at mealtimes to rub her legs to his. She pulls him into hugs that last a bit longer and hold a bit tighter than strictly appropriate for family. Since Ace reacts more strongly to seeing skin that�s normally covered Luffy takes a clue from the scantily clad women in magazines she finds lying around Dadan�s place and acquires a bikini she wears on their next beach trip.
Ace is unable to tear his eyes away, and Luffy is pretty sure she spotted drool on his chin. She purposely trips over a rock, landing in his lap so she can peer up at him through ocean-damp eyelashes and smile as she shifts against his body.
The poor bikini is destroyed, but it�s purpose has been served.
Eventually Luffy begins to get bored of teasing. She�s ready for Ace to give up and just do her already - he isn�t the only one frustrated, and she�s nothing if not determined to get what she wants. Luffy had forgotten about her birthday and the plan to wait.
So it�s a coincidence she turns fourteen the day Luffy gets back to what she�s good at: the straightforward approach.

-

Ace has to wake Luffy that morning; for some strange reason she�s reluctant to get out of bed. So he rolls her over and shakes the living daylight out of her. He�s stopped by a knee in the solar plexus. �Why does everyone think shaking me will make me move faster? Whenever you do it my brain gets all rattled.�
�Sorry, but you really need to get up. Everyone is waiting at Dadan�s.�
�What? Why?� Luffy asks, wiping the sleep from her muzzy eyes.
�Do you seriously not remember?� Ace rolls his eyes at how dumb she can be. �Just get ready. You�ll know when we arrive.�
�Okaaaay, just leave me alone already.� Luffy tosses the covers off and crawls drunkenly towards the stack of clothes she keeps by the wall. She pulls on whatever�s handy, and Ace �humph�s in surprise when the gray tank Luffy wore yesterday smacks him in the face. He�s wary as he pulls himself free. Luffy could be naked again and today would be a bad day to be distracted by desire. They�ll be spending much of the day with people other than just each other - Makino and the mayor have come to celebrate and the more people there are the harder it would be to leave if the need arose. Luckily, Luffy is decent enough not to send his hormones into immediate overdrive, but a small patch of skin peeks out above the waistband of her shorts. Ace wants to bite it.
�Then I�ll go first,� he says. If he were to stay his control - already frayed so thin by everything Luffy - would snap completely. There�s no way he�ll allow himself to be remembered as the pervert who groped his sister on her birthday. He forces himself to walk away from their tree house and the sliver of temptation so shamelessly begging his control to just give it up already, to lick, to scratch how Ace would like.
But he resists, and now it wouldn�t be much longer before he could escape from Dawn Island and all the memories here. A few of the memories are pleasant - Luffy, Makino, Dadan - some less so - the old man, the insults aimed at his father with rifle accuracy, that there was no Sabo here to celebrate Luffy�s birthday or to offer a comforting hand when Luffy was going through her unspeakable womanly cycle and went beyond crazy for a few days - PMS, when Ace and every other beast in the forest kept far, far away while she attempted to fight anything that crossed her path.
As the toughest guy around, it was Ace�s job to be the bait and lure Luffy to places she could let loose the excess emotion through her fists. These are the only times he comes dangerously close to being one-hit knockout beaten. But more than anything, it shows Ace just how strong Luffy can be when she�s not holding back. When it�s her turn to leave and take to the beautiful and unforgiving ocean to chase after her own adventure�Ace quietly acknowledges the success she�ll have. Luffy will be stronger than any man or woman in East Blue and hopefully have the power to flee the Grand Line if it comes to that.
Everyone is buzzing excitedly in the front room as they wait for the guest of honor to arrive. They see it�s Ace and rush around to add the finishing touches - they know that wherever he is, Luffy can�t possibly be far behind. He isn�t sure why they�re going to all this trouble with decorations. If they�d cooked twice the amount of food they normally did and brought out some sort of cake, and maybe give her a little sake, Luffy�d be perfectly happy with the party. But somehow streamers had been considered a good idea and there were tables filled with ridiculous neon colored hats and noise makers. Ace was not looking forward to the unbearable noise they�d be treated to when Luffy found those.
Luffy herself finally made it to headquarters, still fuzzy and confused. She was blinded the second she stumbled into the darkened room, people and applause and confetti thrown in her direction; this was not the best of ideas - Luffy believed she was being attacked by genuine enemies and reacted accordingly. The house was now missing two walls, and several of the men who�d been standing closest had to be moved away from the wreckage for medical attention. Luffy smiled sheepishly at the disaster, thanking them for all their hard work, but could they please warn her next time a bunch of people were going to jump from behind furniture; it made her a bit twitchy.
Anyone who wasn�t hurt in the mayhem decided to carry on with the party by introducing Luffy to the platters of food that survived. Pleased by the chance to eat absolutely anything she wanted and not made to scramble for it, as meals like this usually went, Luffy was so thoroughly sidetracked that they managed to bring in her gifts without being tackled with enthusiasm. The cake Makino baked was fluffy and light, so delicious even Luffy slowed down to taste it instead of shoveling the dessert directly down her throat.
Because of all the hubbub Ace gets hardly a second of Luffy�s time until Makino has left and the bandits wander off to get hideously drunk. Luffy takes his hand and leads Ace home, where they collapse on their blankets to relax. Or rather Ace was relaxing until Luffy clambers onto his chest and nuzzles him.
�I thought they�d never leave us alone,� Luffy groans, clinging more tightly to his shoulders. �Forgot it was my birthday.�
�I guessed.� If she just wanted to snuggle a little, he wouldn�t stop her, but having Luffy sprawled in his lap is both heaven and hell. If she doesn�t move, maybe he�ll be alright?
As if reading his mind and taking it upon herself to do the exact opposite, Luffy wiggles further down his body, apparently trying to find a more comfortable spot to rest her head. Ace holds his breath when she scoots down his thighs.
�Hold still if you�re going to sit on me,� he mutters. He catches Luffy�s hips to steady her, but then Ace feels her tongue flit across the skin of his neck and wonders if he�s completely misjudged the situation. �Did you just lick me?�
�Yep. We�re gonna have sex now,� she says, and licks him again.
�What the he-� Luffy smothers the question by shifting her lips from Ace�s throat to his open mouth. Ace shoves at her, a token protest, before he�s distracted by the taste and slick feel of her tongue - Luffy�s tongue, oh god - brushing his own. There�s the sweetness of cake and the tang of his sweat, but not the sake Ace was expecting; he could easily write this off as Luffy drinking too much and having one of her impulses to do something incredibly stupid, but the defined flavor of alcohol is missing. So why was he being kissed?
Gathering his scattered wits, Ace curves his hands around Luffy�s cheeks to gently push her away. Far enough so he could talk, but not for Luffy to complain or feel rejected. �Are you drunk?� he murmurs quietly, so Luffy will know he�s taking this seriously but also giving her an out.
�I never touched the sake. Didn�t want to be bleary for this.� And �this� apparently meant Luffy digging through his clothes with eager fingers and kissing the breath out of him with wicked lips.
�But why?� A question he needs to have answered, because if this isn�t for exactly the right reason, Ace will put a stop to it.
�I love you, Ace,� she says simply. �I want you and want to share myself with you. This is the one part of me you don�t know, but I willingly give it.� She traces the tips of her fingers over his forehead and the arch of his brow. �We,� she kisses him; short, dry pressure on closed lips. �are family.�
Ace can�t reply to her declaration with words because those words are all he�s been waiting for. If this was truly how Luffy felt about him, how she saw their relationship, Ace didn�t have the strength to turn her away.
�Come here,� he whispers, taking Luffy into his arms as she settles fully against his body. He just holds her there, reveling in the ability to touch and feel whatever he�d like, and for now he wants to enjoy the way her curves and dips fit perfectly to his body even through their clothes.
Their next kiss is deeper than the first few, more about exploration then seducing or convincing. This time it�s Ace who slides his tongue into Luffy�s parted mouth to taste and map teeth, a soft inner cheek, the sensitive ridges that bend across the roof - Luffy giggles at the ticklish sting when Ace traces his tongue along them.
�Hey,� he says, drawing back to breathe. �This is great. But we can�t go any further tonight.
�Why?� Luffy whines. �We�re already tangled up, might as well finished what we started.� It�s true - somehow, Ace�s hands crept up her shirt, and Luffy�s fingers have threaded through his belt loops.
�Because I don�t have a condom.� They were something he wouldn�t allow himself to buy. If he did, his thoughts would never stray from their intended use. So now he had nothing while Luffy was pretty much offering herself up on a silver platter. �Dammit.�

�You mean one of these?� Luffy�s fingers disappear inside her pocket and return with a foil square hanging between them. She smiles. �Can we keep going now?�
Ace swallows around the thick lump of nervousness in his throat, and says, �Yeah.�
-
It seems like there is no time at all between Luffy holding the condom towards him, tiny foil package dangling casually from her fingers, and this - tank tangled at her wrists and pinning them overhead, leaving her chest finally, finally bared for his eyes and hands and mouth. A path of red marks where Ace�s teeth have been, trailing across her kiss-bitten lips to the shallow valley of her breasts. Ace rests his face there, enjoying the soft swell against his cheeks until Luffy shifts impatiently and kicks him in the ass. He obligingly sweeps his tongue over a nipple.
His hands skate down Luffy�s sides to tug at the waistband of her jeans. They slip off easily enough - Luffy�s clothes have always been oversized - but as he blindly discards them and as his hands return to grip narrow hips, he feels nothing but naked skin and downy hair curling around his thumb.
Ace lets go of the breast he�s been suckling to stare where Luffy�s boxers aren�t. His brain shorts out as he realizes Luffy has gone without underwear the entire day, and he wonders briefly why it�s this that causes his pants to go from uncomfortable to downright painful instead of the damp place between her thighs, not that the sight isn�t doing horrible things to his libido, until he puts two and two together and understands that Luffy was planning this. The unexpected offer was premeditated - Luffy has been walking around thinking about sex. With Ace. For who knew how long.
He takes a shaky breath to try and grasp weakly at his last shreds of control. Ace has the horrible feeling he fails miserably when Luffy gets a good look at his face and growls, forcefully tearing her arms free and hooking them behind her knees, drawing her legs back and exposing herself completely.
�Do me,� she says, more a command than anything, and Ace feels his last bit of sanity flicker out like a candle in a storm.
Ace doesn�t bother lowering his head; he tightens his hold and lifts Luffy by the hips so her pussy is within reach of his mouth and just goes for it. Luffy is so wet already he has no trouble shoving his tongue inside and maybe he shouldn�t be diving straight in like this but he hears Luffy cry out and can�t bring himself to care. The taste is inexplicable, certainly not the most pleasant thing, yet his dick twitches so hard Ace fears he�s going to come that second if he doesn�t do something. So he switches one hand to the small of Luffy�s back and sticks the other down his own pants to grab the base and squeeze.
The change in position shoves his nose into Luffy�s clit. She spasms so suddenly Ace almost drops her, but he takes the hint - drags his mouth from where he was so enthusiastically eating Luffy out and bites at the small nub instead. Luffy screams so loudly Ace knows someone must have heard, that Dadan still occasionally posted men outside their tree house with its enormous windows.

Let them listen, he thinks, and releases his dick to work two fingers back into the space his tongue had previously occupied. Ace twists and crooks them, stretching and exploring the delicious heat he�s dying to bury himself inside.
He pushes with his fingers and sucks with his mouth in just the right way and Luffy goes off like a firecracker, muscles clamping so tight Ace moans as if those fingers were another, more receptive part of him. Forget it, he was gonna come in his pants like a teenager. Like the teenager he was.

Ace pulls back to watch Luffy twitch her way through orgasm, but she throws the forgotten condom at him with a trembling hand and gasps, �I want you in me. Please, Ace.�
Not sure he�d even last long enough to roll the condom over his erection, Ace tears the package open and undoes his shorts, pushing them down just far enough and doing his best to think about anything but the pressure of his hand, still glistening with Luffy�s natural lube.
He positions himself and glances up at Luffy, needing to be sure this was okay, that it was what she definitely wanted and not all Ace�s fevered imagination. His dear baby sister simply grins fiercely and plants her heels against his back and thrusts. Ace sinks inside with no resistance, Luffy opening around his dick like she was born for it. And if that wasn�t a dangerous thought�

Miraculously withstanding the first thrust, and the second, Ace presses a rough thumb to Luffy�s sensitized clit, determined to make her come again before his stamina failed him. Luffy chokes on a sob and seizes Ace�s shoulders, dragging him down to lick at the wet smeared across his face, her tongue darting over his nose and past his lips to slide and fight with Ace�s in a messy kiss that made it difficult to breathe. She wraps her legs loosely around his waist and keens when Ace shifts deeper and hits a reallyreallyreally good spot.
�Right there Ace, more please oh god.� Ace complies, angling his next thrust to touch that place dead on. Bracing against the floor to snap his hips faster, Ace feels the familiar burn of oncoming orgasm, and circles his thumb in a ruthless grind.
�Come on,� he growls. With one final shove, as hard as he can make it, Ace slams home and spills. Luffy�s name is stuck in his throat. When she clenches and locks up, it finds it�s way out in a whisper.
Ace wakes up before he realizes he�s even fallen asleep. He�d burrowed his face into her chest and that�s the last thing he remembers - the thought makes him cringe. Ace doesn�t want to be that guy who passes out after sex.
Luffy is kneeling beside him, eyes half-lidded in content. Fading light pools in the contours of her body and Ace is caught; the word that springs to mind is not beautiful, but breathtaking.
Luffy is too strong, too brave, too independent and indestructible to be considered truly feminine. Her curves are smaller, her skin thicker, her hands rougher than ordinary but there is something magnetic and inevitable about Luffy that attracts the strangest of bedfellows. Ace cannot even begin to imagine the colorful crew she will collect on the vast oceans.
He holds out an arm for Luffy to tuck herself beneath, sparking lazy warmth everywhere they come into contact. Ace has sense enough to ask if she�s okay. Luffy hums affirmative as she curls closer still, easy in their intimacy, and Ace drifts to the lull of her steady heart.
-
� Ace?�

�Yeah?�

�Does this mean you�ll take baths with me again?�

��

�Ace? Where are you going? Ace? Hey Ace!�
-
He�s a fool for thinking it�d get easier after he�s had Luffy, that the mind-clouding rush of hormones would abate. How naïve to believe once or twice a week would satisfy the lingering desire and let him get on with his life.
But now Ace knows how it feels. Knows the sweet sound Luffy makes if he mouths just below her left ear, how she�ll laugh until she cries when he teases her bellybutton or the delicate arch of her foot. He�s got this precious knowledge and he wants to use it all the damn time.

In the last few months he and Luffy have made love in just about every location and position they could think of, including a few they�d made up on the spot. Or they�ll be doing something completely unrelated and Ace will find himself grabbing her for a kiss. He loves kissing Luffy; she�s light, playful, refuses to lay back and let him have control unless it�s what he needs. Ace can almost literally not get enough.
Spurring him on is an unspoken reality: to keep their promise with Sabo, Ace will need to set sail before winter sets in.
As the deadline draws close and Luffy still doesn�t say anything Ace can�t help feeling offended. Won�t he be missed at all? They haven�t been separated by anything in the last seven years. Couldn�t she pretend to be upset, or maybe show Ace her adorable crying face as she begs him not to leave?

The night before he�s due to leave, Ace gets a little drunk.
All his things are crammed inside a single backpack. He�s excited to step out into the world and make a mark of his own. His father is irrelevant - Portgas D. Ace is a name that won�t be forgotten. It�s his mother for whom Ace wants to bring glory.
When Luffy smiles at him once too many, Ace grabs her, kisses her so deep he can taste her heartbeat, says, �Don�t you care I�m going?�
�We�ll see each other again.� Luffy lets his head rest against her knee. �So I won�t say goodbye.�
�Oh,� he says.
Ace falls asleep in her lap. He doesn�t see the way Luffy watches him as if memorizing every detail, doesn�t see her pet his hair and roll the silky strands between her fingertips. He doesn�t know she stays awake all night.
A group gathers to see him off. Ace is glad to see them one last time but Luffy is tired and still smiling and Ace wishes they�d go so she could see him off properly. He certainly wasn�t expecting to be kissed, stripped, have his tiny boat christened before he could even sail her out the bay. Luffy does it anyway. And just before he goes, Luffy whispers that she�ll miss him.
Their promise is as big and full as the ocean. It�s so inevitable Ace aims his ship towards the Grand Line without pausing to wonder when. They will, and that�s enough.
