The Elemental Fox [Marco x Luffy]

Getting to know Birdie (After 3 days)

Birdie finally woke up and found out more about his mysterious saviour while Luffy enjoy himself, teasing birdie, who's also Marco.

Hello, another chapter and finally some MaLu interactions. I hope it isn't too fast and easy but I am just impatient and generally suck at slow burns. Anyway, I tend to make Luffy a pretty boy so if you don't like that, oops~

Enjoy~

Three days later,

The next time Marco woke up he was on a bed and his wounds were wrapped in bandages. He noticed it wasn't professionally done. It was slightly messy but it was doing it's work. He raised his head and realised how dizzy he felt, looking around he noticed that it looks like it's starting to get dark and outside the window he saw a person sitting near a campfire alone with his arm crossed behind his head staring at the sky. Said person turned around and smiled when he saw him, he stood up and Marco could've sworn he saw the fire absorbed into the person's hand.

Luffy was sitting by the bonfire, watching the sky darken and sun set when he thought he heard something since he had heightened senses and he was right, birdie was awake and peering out the window. So he decided to go back to the cabin and feed it some food. It's been sleeping for almost 3 days after all. By now, Luffy's small cuts and scrapes from the dive were already fully healed.

'Why won't my flames work and heal me yoi?!' Marco thought as he observed the person walking over calmly. He didn't know what to think but it's not like he could do anything, he's still wounded and weak and besides the person took care of him.

The guy, now he noticed since there was a lack of breast and his shoulders were too broad to be a female. Though, while the body stature indicated a male, the teen, because he looked young to Marco, was still quite slender with lean muscles and was shorter than himself by about a foot. The teen was wearing a tight black shirt with turtlenecks, 'why wear that on an island yoi?!' he wondered distractedly, with knee length black khaki shorts which looked like it might drop off at any moment and was barefoot. The closer the teen got, the more visible the scars and burns that littered his legs are. It looked almost painful and some were really old, 'when did he get those if it's old and he's still young now yoi,' he thought again and couldn't help frowning when he saw the obvious marks left from shackles on his ankles, like he grew up with it. The guy was out of sight for a moment and the bird could hear him entering the cabin.

"Hey birdie you're finally awake, how are you?" He said walking towards him, "you were running a high fever for about 2 days, you know."

'2 days yoi,' Marco thought, surprised. The teen was already in front of him by the time he finished talking, the bird could now see his face clearly unlike the first time.

He was cute and pretty, he probably could compete with beautiful women and no, he wasn't exaggerating. He had big round onyx eyes that seemed to glow even if it looked slightly old and tired. Eyelids lazily blinking, fluttering his lashes and a gentle smile showing some of his teeth that seemed to just radiate warmth. There was also a roughly stitched crescent scar below his left eye that somehow fits into his face. His face was round yet has defined jaws with plump pink lips, decorated with neck length raven locks that are layered and messy. Marco blinked and he was right in front of his face.

'WHAT The hell yoi!' He squawked in surprise.

"Shishishi, I surprised you eh, sorry~ sorry~," he apologised, not sounding sorry at all. The raven gently lifted him up and bumped his forehead on the bird's and it looked surprised, blinking stupidly.
