Luffy laid on the bed an watched his boyfriend, who was in his zoan form, preening his blue flaming feathers. The boy tilted his head a bit. He was bored. Marco had forbidden him to participate in the training today as he was so sleepy yesterday and he should take it easy today.

A sigh left his lips. Luffy had missed three meals yesterday and had mostly slept during the day. Only waking up around four times. The first time when Marco had left the bed and hadn't woken him up. He had been a bit confused to wake up alone, but his boyfriend had just entered at the moment with some breakfast for him. That was when he heard that the blonde needed to talk with Vista or Izo about something. Luffy had just nodded and had kissed his boyfriend's cheek before he had gone back to sleep.

The second time he had woken up, Kingdew had knocked. He thought it was Kingdew. He wasn't sure exactly who had knocked. He hadn't really cared and just wanted to go back to bed. Even if it was a bit colder without Marco being there.

He had woken up for the third time because of screams. Marco had chased Thatch around and the cook had the genius idea to try to hide in the blonde's room. Or the redhead wanted to use him as a distraction for the first division commander. Well, it hadn't work. Thatch got his bath in the ocean.

A smile ghosted over his lips, as he remembered the fourth time. This one he remembered clearly. The others were a bit blurry. But this one was nice. Marco had woken him up. Softly with kisses on his neck and a tray with food on the nightstand. There had been no meat, something about being careful. But it had been nice to be in Marco's arms while being fed. The Phoenix seemed more relaxed at that time.

Perhaps he should do more to help his boyfriend to relax a bit. The blonde still seemed tensed sometimes. Luffy studied the beautiful, blue Phoenix. Then an idea came to his mind.

„Ne, Marco, can I help you?", he asked. The Phoenix stopped his preening and turned his head to him. He also tilted it a bit. „Please, I promise I'll be gentle." Luffy used a pout and his puppy-eyes. He knew that it was a bit unfair, but come on. He was bored and Marco's blue flaming feathers always felt nice. Also, he knew that there were a few spots that helped the blonde to be more relaxed.

The Phoenix came closer before he turned back to his human form and sat down next to Luffy on the bed. „You won't stop pouting until you can help, will you, yoi?", Marco asked. The young captain looked up at him and nodded with a slight smile on his lips. The blonde sighed and that was when Luffy knew he had won.

„Fine, but if you mess up the feathers, I'll put you on a diet without meat, yoi", Marco threatened teasingly.

„Not the meat", Luffy grumbled, before he sat himself up and put his arms around his boyfriend's neck.

„I know. If they are messed up you have trouble controlling the fly", the boy said and stick out his tongue a bit. The blonde chuckled and kissed him shortly. Well, that was probably Marco's intention to let it be a short kiss.

But Luffy followed Marco's lips with own and made sure that they were connected again before he closed his eyes and pressed himself more against Marco, who put his arms around him.

He sighed in the kiss. This was something he would never get tired of. Especially not how it felt. It made smile and want to jump around and hug someone, well it was clear who this someone was.

A delighted sound left him as Marco had sneaked his hands under the boy's cardigan and caressed his sides. The blonde used the chance and slipped his tongue into Luffy's opened mouth for a little battle. The boy clung more to his boyfriend. He tried to fight back as long as possible, but it felt too good if Marco had the control.

Luffy panted slightly as their lips separated. He watched the blonde over him with half-lidded eyes. Luffy hadn't noticed that he was on his back until now.
