[A/N: If anyone has not seen the British comedy show Vicious, it's hilarious I highly suggest you look it up, this is just my version of the comedy show]
It was just another day in New York; nothing really new in this big city while the gang of Whitebeard just hung out in the building they rented out; they all shared a flat either three or two per person in one flat depending on how big it is.
"I see that happened, well at least he didn't suffer; oh, he did? That much? Well, it's a reminder we should spend time with those we hold dear; anyway, thank you for calling Pops, see you at the family BBQ coming up soon" Izou was talking on the phone with Pops about the latest news of what old friend Pops knew back in his day before they passed away.
"For a moment I thought those high pitch piercing shrieks were a gaggle of schoolgirls, but now I see it's just you: now I can't get back to sleep so thanks for that" the voice of Ace who shared the apartment with Izou since it only held two rooms for them, of course Ace was just waking up from a late-night shift at the fire station he worked at.
"And who do you think you are, the earl of Grantham? Besides you're from the South Blue" Izou said with rolling his eyes while pouring some coffee for him and Ace.
"It's better than being from Wano" Ace fired back while grabbing his mug of coffee.
"How dare you, for your information I have been to the grand line" Izou glared at him out of jokingly fun they seem to fire back and forth to each other along with the others.
"Yes, for lunch" Ace couldn't help but break his serious face with a smile when he chuckled which made Izou chuckle as well while they sat down on the sofa.
"So, who was that you were squawking on the phone just now?" Ace asked when waking up a bit more from his morning coffee.
"Pops if you must know, one of his friends just died" Izou said while putting some honey in his own coffee.
"Pops is always the first person to know when someone dies; does he get the news directly from Davy Jones? I assume uncle didn't suffer" Ace raised a brow since Pops seems to know everything and everyone no matter what it was, Izou couldn't help but laugh when Ace brought up Davy Jones.
"Apparently they had to cut a foot off, so I guess there was some discomfort" Izou made a face from just thinking about what Pops told him this morning.
"I dare say those thick ankles put up a good fight" Ace stretched when he put his coffee down for a moment, but the sound of the doorbell caught them off guard making their attention turn to the door.
"Who the hell?" Izou said when standing up from the sofa followed by Ace to open the door to see who that was.
Only to be met with a pretty girl behind their door, with [H/L] [H/C], big [E/C] eyes and a sweet smile on her face when the door opened; both Ace and Izou's face turned to a pleasant look when seeing the new girl.
"Hi, I'm [Y/N]" you said with your smile still on your face.
"I didn't know that was a name" Ace couldn't stop himself from saying his thoughts out loud but hearing her laugh was worth it.
"Please come in, I'm Izou and this is Ace my brother" Izou opened the door more to let you into their apartment.
"Thank you, I kind of got a little lost; I'm here to see an apartment for rent" you blushed a bit since you were never the best at directions.
"Ah, that flat is right above us actually" Izou was excited that they were finally getting someone new in the building and not have to deal with his brothers who were also in the building.
"Oh well thanks for directing me; I hope we can be good neighbors" you smiled again excited to see this apartment you wanted to rent out.
"I think the word fantasist is better, sweet cheeks" Ace smirked giving you a wink which made you blush and giggle a bit, before heading back out to the hall saying goodbye to the boys to see the apartment.
"You do realize you made a fool of yourself a minute ago with that line" Izou said while crossing his arms raising a brow at Ace's lack of pickup lines in any romantic sense.
"At least I made a move, it's quite clear she hates you" Ace fired back while making his way upstairs to get ready for the day.
Izou just shook his head while grabbing his own working bag heading out of the door to head into work today; wondering if this new girl was actually going to rent out the apartment and wonder what kind of person she was and how she would react once she learned how many brother's lived in this one building.
