"A bye week? What in the world is that Luffy?" Nami questioned nibbling on her pen taking her hazelnut brown eyes off of Luffy's english papers to meet his onyx gaze.

"It means instead of a game this weekend we get to visit our families!" He said barley able to contain his excitement. Spending this time with Ace and his teammates was something he looked forward to doing all semester long.

Nami blinked a few times witnessing his cheerful attitude. Although they'd been official for a few weeks she still had yet to get over his positive charm, it made her stomach flutter. "That's great Luffy," she said with a smile, "are you going to see your grandpa?"

He laughed wrapping an arm around her shoulder, "No way! I'm going to visit my brother Ace at his game and he's going to show me a good time on his campus." Luffy couldn't help hug her tighter spreading his enthusiasm.

The orangette leaned into his shoulder knowing how much he cared for his brother; Luffy talked about him constantly showing a deep admiration for the senior defender attending Impel Down University.  She couldn't help shudder thinking of 'her' Luffy going to a university renowned for it's athletic prowess however was just as notoriously known for it's crime rate, violence, and wild parties.

"Promise me you'll stay safe okay?" Nami hooked her arms underneath his glaring directly at him.

"Of course, I'll be fine—Ace will be there after all." Luffy chuckled earning a grin from the orangette.

"And you'll text me until I fall asleep." She said sternly jabbing him in the chest causing him to chuckle even harder kissing her forehead. He pulled back to examine her features; even with reading glasses on and her hair pulled into a wrap she was still very beautiful threatening to take his breath away every time he looked her way.

"Alright you have my word." He said pulling Nami tighter to him as she crashed her lips against his. He couldn't help suppress a groan not yet used to feel of her soft sweet lips. She squealed happily as he dipped her backwards laying loving kisses on her sensitive neck and collarbone as she released a series of giggles.

"You played great today Ace! I've never seen anyone that could play defense like you." Luffy said chugging from his bottle while throwing an arm around his brother's shoulders. Ace wrapped his arm around Luffy's shoulder holding his balance up as they hobbled down the streets crowded with raging students celebrating their shutout victory.

"Na, It's all thanks to coach Whitebeard Luffy...the greatest damn man that's ever lived!" He said raising his opened bottle guzzling down the rest.

The pair stopped at a wild house party
meeting up with Ace's teammates who stood in the front yard shotgunning beers around a table."Well I'll be damned if it ain't Portagus D. Ace and his baby bro!" Marco shouted as the rest of the team gathered around them giving praise to the elder of the two.

Jozu arched a brow at Luffy, "you're a little out of your depth kid, your school is like kindergarten compared to this one." He said passing out more beer cans to the team while cracking his own open.

"Lay off Jozu, my little brother is a man now, he's got a little girlfriend." Ace grinned proudly before bursting into laughter with the others. He couldn't help hunch over pointing to his younger brother's sour face.

That reminded him; Luffy checked his phone reading Nami's message that had been left unread for roughly ten minutes.

"I'm glad the game went well. What are you up to now?"
