The Elemental Fox [Marco x Luffy]

The Returned Brother

A reveal of the ASL separation and a little of their past. Also some fluff <3

This chapter was kind of hard to write, I tried really hard to to avoid making it a 'question+answer' dialogue but it still feels that way.

Well hopefully you'll enjoy this long chapter anyway~

The next morning, Marco woke up to an uncomfortable weight on him. He glanced down to see a raven teen lying on top of his chest, snoring away and drooling on his shirt. At least he's wearing a shirt this time.

Marco pulled the blanket higher to cover both the raven and himself. Luffy seemed to find him comfy, as he snuggled and moaned in satisfaction. The blond chuckled slightly and brought a hand to massage the raven's scalp, slowly moving down to his neck, back, waist, hip, and ass...bare ass?

It took a while for his groggy mind to realise that Luffy was, very much, naked. Though, seeing as they bathed together several times already, it didn't really bother him at all. Besides having to suppress the heat rising to his cheek.

That is, until he heard one of his brothers calling him, Marco's eyes widened. His brothers, who have no sense of privacy would definitely barge into his room like they own it.

Just as his door swung open, Marco had bundled the naked raven in his blanket and rolled him to the side. Causing Luffy to wake up with a surprised yelp.

"Marco! The boy's missing!" Izo said, urgently. Izo was one of his brothers, who would usually knock. Did Luffy going missing made such a big deal?

"What was that for~?" A muffled whine came from the blanket.

Izo stared, wide eyed, at the bundle of blankets that seemed to be wriggling, while Marco closed his eyes and groaned in defeat.

Luffy popped out of the blanket with an offended look, that made him look pouty. The blanket slowly slipped off his shoulders and onto his lap, revealing his shirtless self.

Izo shot Marco a 'seriously?' look with a raised brow. "You had him here? Ace and Sabo are going wild because he went missing," the crossdresser said with ire.

If Marco guessed right, Ace and Sabo must've bothered anyone who was awake, once they found out the raven was missing and they could be very persistent (read as annoying).

At this point, Luffy had ignored them and laid back down on his bed. Pulling the blanket to cover half his face. Marco shot the teen an accusing glare for waking up and going back to sleep, instead of just remaining still in the first place.

"Is he naked?" Izo asked with a very amused look, "we found his gown and bandages next to the infirmary bed."

Marco brought a hand to his eyes and down his face, in exasperation. He glared at his brother who seemed very amused at the whole situation.

The 16th division commander smiled, "I'll tell the two idiots he's fine, and breakfast's ready."

Once Izo left, Marco tackled the raven, pulling the blanket away from his face.

"Let me sleep, pineapple head~" Luffy whined and grumbled, pushing him away.

Marco clicked his tongue, "oh, no, I won't, yoi," he said, snatching the blanket again.

"Fine," the raven huffed, glaring (more like pouting) at the blond on top of him.

"You just had to get up, yoi," Marco said sarcastically, referring to his earlier brief appearance.

"Wha- I didn't know," Luffy pouted, "I was still half asleep~"
