The Elemental Fox [Marco x Luffy]

Golden eyes (10th day)

Marco finding out who Luffy might actually be with some stabbings, he's not that unknown after all~ Someone interesting from Luffy's past is making an appearance too!

Ik I said Luffy didn't meet Shanks but he has a similar but slightly different dream which I am still looking for a way to reveal later on. Honestly, I am considering if I should make short flashbacks or past retelling or just the whole past. I'm also thinking of how to deliver the past, to who and all that or just a self remembering kind of situation (Aghh).

It's been 10 days since he ended up here. It was bright outside when he woke up, Marco felt warm puffs of air near his collarbone which reminded him that he had slept with the teen last night. He glanced to the side slightly, to see a drooling raven lying on his shoulder. He grimaced in disgust, excuse him, but he was not wearing any shirt.

Luffy stirred and got up, wiping his mouth, until he realised who he was drooling on and glanced at the man slowly, cheeks quickly turning pink. He chewed on his bottom lip, looking away.

'Dammit Luffy, you totally broke down and now drooled on him. Ugh,' he groaned inwardly while he quickly wiped Marco with the sheets. It was stained with blood anyway, so what's a little more mess. The damn chicken just laughed at him, he huffed and pouted.

"Get up, we have to leave soon to get you something to wear," he said, "...and thank you," he sighed, "for last night."

Marco chuckled, "no problem yoi, you needed that," he said as he stood up to prepare brunch. He was quite surprised by the fact that he managed to wake up late, he tends to wake up early in the morning, usually. His wounds were getting better and noticed, Luffy too, didn't seem to wince much while moving anymore.

"You should try and transform, then cut yourself a bit to see if you could heal," the raven suggested as he changed and took out two new cloaks.

'Just how many cloaks does he have yoi,' Marco wondered, amused.

"Right, I'm kind of worried about my family, yoi."

"Family, huh..." he muttered softly. He was now wearing a loose red shirt, with the top unbuttoned, and tight black pants together with his daggers and throwing knives.

"Yeah, they can be really stupid yoi, but that's what family is for, right?" He smiled fondly.

"Okay, why don't you tell me about your family later when we're on the way," Luffy suggested, smiling. The blond nodded. They ate and got ready to leave. Marco tried to transform but it didn't work, causing him to frown slightly.

"Don't worry, it should be back soon, be patient alright," the raven assured, before he joked, "do you want to leave so bad," pouting dramatically.

Marco shrugged playfully, "maybe, yoi," he said, playing along.

"Ouch, pineapple. That hurt," Luffy gasped, gripping his chest dramatically while Marco rolled his eyes.

"Before we leave," -he grabbed Marco's hand and cut his finger with the dagger, just slightly- "well, I guess you are avoiding fights."

Said pirate raised his eyebrow and smirked, "I don't need my power to fight, yoi. I just need to avoid getting hit."

"Hai~ hai~, Mr. I am a strong pirate," he teased as they walked to the dock and Marco grinned in response.

"Are we expecting a fight, yoi?" He asked.

"I hope not, both of us are still wounded," he grumbled, prodding his wounds, "though, I don't really feel it anymore."
