Burning Hearts [SEQUEL INCLUDED]

Chapter 19

Ace

I walked with Marco to the galley for breakfast. After two more rounds, I was hungry and so was Marco. We were about to enter the galley when we were greeted by active surroundings and the smell of delicacy. Then, Luffy appeared out of nowhere, hopped on me and hugged me.

"Ace! I miss you! How have you been?" Luffy asked.

"I'm good. What's with the visit today?" I asked.

"Well, you might not know but... we're having another wedding." Luffy answered.

"Oh, is that so? Whose?" I asked.

"Ours." Luffy and another voice answered.

I looked behind Luffy to see the captain of the Heart Pirates, Trafalgar Law. Marco went to talk to Zoro and Sanji. I looked around for Shimizu and saw her with a female spirit. I didn't have to ask for the identity because it's obvious it is Miharu. Also, about asking them on Miharu, I didn't have to. Shimizu told me in private through a snail call. 

"Wow, congrats, bro! Law finally proposed, eh?" I asked.

"Uhm, it was the other way around. I proposed to Law," Luffy answered.

I stood there, dumbfounded. I usually thought the husband would propose to the wife. This is the reverse.

"Law was taking too long. I had to do it first and good thing he said yes," Luffy said, making Law blush.

"Well, congrats to you guys. Hey, why don't we sit down?" I asked, leading Luffy to the table where the Straw Hats sat.

"Sanji's serving the food so we can talk while we wait." Luffy said.

"Oh, really? I'm quite hung-" I groaned as I try to sit.

"Ace, you ok?" Luffy asked.

I nodded and sat slowly. I forgot Marco fucked me four times. Nami looked at me and then looked at Usopp, Franky, Chopper and Brook. They all smirked, knowing what happened. I blushed and was attracted to the food Sanji served to us. Zoro helped serve the drinks while Shimizu walked to Nami, whispering something to her. When Marco settled down at the table, Nami smirked, making me confused.

"So, Marco, Ace. How was it earlier?" Nami asked, making Marco and I almost choke on our drinks.

"Uh..." We answered.

"Yeah, you were seriously loud when we arrived. Why?" Franky asked, smirking.

"Oh, and usually, Marco wouldn't do it. How did you get him to do it with you?" Chopper asked after, hyping up the situation.

"I have my ways and he's exceptionally good. No more questions. I want to eat," I answered before gobbling on the food.

"Is that so? Marco, what did you have that made him feel good?" Ussop asked, reading everyone's mind.

Marco blushed lightly and scratched his nape.

"Uh, I don't know how to explain." He answered. 

"Don't worry about that. I saw everything. I'll tell the crew after the wedding. Leaving cliffhangers, y'know." Miharu's spirit added, receiving a thank you from Marco.

Everyone enjoyed their food, talking casually and after everyone finished, they set up the wedding. Franky helped to decorate the deck with banners and confetti strings. Usopp and Chopper helped set up the buffet with Sanji. Nami and Izo then helped to dress Luffy up while Shimizu, Zoro and Marco helped to dress Law up. Brook discussed the music with the other musicians. I was watching everyone help prepare the wedding. I smiled, happy for my small brother as he marries the love of his life.

At the wedding, Law was on the deck that acted as an altar, waiting for his husband to come out. Then, from Izo's room did Luffy, accompanied by Nami, walk out on the red carpet to the altar. Luffy was beautiful in the dress although I was confused.

"Sanji told me this was a punishment for some stuff they did and they gave them a groom-bride wedding. Luffy's the bride since he's the bottom," Marco whispered to me.

After the officiation, everyone applauded for the lucky couple. Luffy then threw the bouquet of red roses and it landed in my hand. I was happy. I get to marry Marco.

Later

After the cake cutting, the all-you-can-eat buffet, drunk speeches and party games, everyone was tired and retired to their beds. Everyone except me, Marco and today's newlyweds. They wanted their privacy so I lended them my room for that. Marco and I stood at the bannister, enjoying the cool breeze.

"Well, the bouquet is on us now. I thought it'd be Nami or Robin but I'm glad." Marco commented.

"Yeah. So... about the shower talk, when I said we should have a child together, I think we should. I heard Sanji's due in about 4 months. Zoro is quite nervous but not for long after he had promised to protect the both of them no matter what." I said.

Marco stood there as I spoke.

"So, when I have your child, I promise to protect them." I swore.

"Hey, don't leave me out. I'll protect both of you." Marco swore as well.

We smiled and continued enjoying the breeze and gazing upon the stars. I hope one of those stars will grant our wishes.
