Ace x Dagger

chapter 2

Dagger woke to a knock on the door she groaned "who is it?" She asked stretching "name's Marco dad asked me to come get you" he said Dagger got up and stumbled to the door brushing her hair back she opened the door Dagger examined the man he was taller than her and he had blonde hair with some stubble on his face she leaned against the door frame he chuckled "you were sleeping weren't you" he laughed "yeah" she mumbled "any way I'm Dagger nice to meet you" she said holding out her hand he chucked "diddo" he said grasping her hand she firmly shook it "you've got good grip" he chuckled "thanks" she mumbled "when your ready knock on aces door and get him to take you to the dinning hall I'm sure he already told you his rooms next door" Marco said "uh yeah thanks Marco" Dagger said with a yawn Marco turned to walk away before pausing "oh and Dagger you might wanna put pants on before you come to breakfast" Marco chuckled Dagger looked down noticing she wasn't wearing pant she shrugged "if I have to" she said Marco stopped before turning slightly "your quite the blunt one aren't you" he said letting out a laugh Dagger shrugged making Marco laugh more "I'll see you soon" he said Dagger nodded shutting the door to her room she pulled her pants on jacket before her sword she stretched once again slipping her boots on she walked to the door and left her room knocking on aces door she heard him mumble something she leaned against the door frame with a sigh "Marco said to come to breakfast" she said after hearing a loud thud the door opened and she saw ace rubbing his eyes sleepily she pushed herself off the wall as he stepped out sleepily shutting the door "let's go" he said before he started walking Dagger followed slowly making sure to keep a little distance they entered the room it was bustling and lively Dagger sat between ace and Marco with a yawn "still tired?" Marco asked "well yesterday was pretty lively" she said taking a bite of her food she glanced over towards ace to see him shoveling food into his mouth "your gonna choke" she said non challantly "I'm not gonna" ace started before his eyes widened slightly Dagger sighed and carefully pat his back he managed to swallow his food and took a gasp of air "told you" Dagger muttered and ace grumbled a bit the two looked at Marco who was chuckling "what?" Dagger asked "you totally called that" Marco said laughing Dagger shook her head "you guys are weird" she stated eating her food she heard a thud next to her and looked over at ace who had his face down in his food "what the fuck" she said "is that normal?" She asked leaning towards Marco a bit Marco looked past her as she poked him a couple times "is he dead?" She asked poking his side he grabbed her hand "Nope not dead" she mumbled Marco burst out laughing "he does that sometimes" Marco said "stop poking me" ace whined releasing her hand he sat up again Dagger was confused "️yup you guys are weird" she said again before finishing her food soon after breakfast Dagger stood on the deck silently she leaned against the railing peering towards the water she cocked her head slightly to the side before watching a couple Dolphins jump out of the water and back in again she smiled slightly to herself as the marine animals did flips in and out of the water "how are you liking the ship?" Dagger heard an unfamiliar voice and turned around "it's pretty good so far um and your name is?" she asked looking at the tall man with awkward hair "oh excuse me my name is thatch" he said with a smile he reached down taking her hand he kissed it "Dagger" she said awkwardly taking her hand back quickly "thatch your making her uncomfortable" Dagger turned her attention to another large man approaching "names Jozu" he said "dagger" she repeated he smiled a bit "I hope thatch hasn't been perving on you" jozu said Dagger shrugged no knowing how to respond "hey Dagger I need your help with something" Marco said Dagger nodded happily walking over "what did ya need?" She asked "nothing just looked like you wanted to get away from them" Marco laughed "yeah thanks for that" she said "anytime" Marco said Dagger smiled lightly and the two conversed for sometime Dagger found she really liked Marco he was a pretty good guy for the most part and she got along with him really well soon dinner came around and everyone sat down white beards booming voice echoed through the room catching everyone's attention "I propose we have a party in honor of our newest crew member and my first daughter Dagger!" White beard said holding his mug in the air "yeah!" Everyone cheered holding theirs up as well before drinking it Dagger shook her head "oh no I don't know if I can take you guys being weird AND drunk" Dagger said making ace and Marco laugh "were not that bad!" Ace said "yeah once you get to know us you'll see" Marco said dagger smirked "we'll see about that" she retorted before continuing her food once everyone had finished eating the deck was lit up with dagger torches loud music played on the Moby dick drinking, cheering, laughing and singing rang through the air dagger found it to crowded on the deck and went to the back of the ship where it was a lot more quiet and no one else was she looked up at the moon and stars "u guess this is my home now and this is my family" she mumbled with a small smile she heard approaching foot steps and turned quickly to see ace walking over "hey why'd you leave the party?" He asked "its to crowded" she said sipping her mug she leaned against the railing "but it's a party for you, you have to be over there" ace said dagger shook her head "no I don't as long as there's booze I think everyone's happy" dagger said making ace laugh a little "bit people are already going to bed and it'll be a lot more fun if you come back" he whined dagger shrugged "maybe I didn't know I was that much fun" she said ace smiled "of course you are your really funny" he said dagger felt a light blush creep into her face "hey you two love birds get back to the party" Marcos cheerful voice rang out "we are not lovebirds! were far from it!" Dagger said "I don't even know what a love bird is!" Ace said Marco laughed "that's exactly what a pair of lovebirds would say" Marco laughed "Marco"Dagger said in a low tone catching him off guard "yeah dagger?" He asked "one of these days I'm going to get you" she said cracking a smile he burst out laughing "I'd better be prepared then" he said laughing Dagger nodded in agreement "let's go" ace said cheering a little as he put his arms around Dagger and Marco's necks pulling them along "alright. alright stop pulling on me" she said making ace laugh soon they had joined the party again dagger was drinking and talking with the two boys soon she felt someone steal her booze "Marco!" She shouted chasing Marco around the ship "ace catch!" Marco shouted tossing the bottle to ace who caught it and took off running "for fuck sakes" she said running after ace she dove after him knocking him to the floor "haha caught ya" she said laughing ace looked dazed "are you okay?" She asked "sorry if I hurt you" she said a little worried "no it's not that it's just that's the first time I've heard you laugh" he said "oh" dagger said quickly stopping herself "no don't stop I like your laugh" he said Dagger blushed and reached taking her booze back "you must be drunk ace" she said getting off him "no I'm serious" he said she giggled a little embarrassed she cracked the bottle open and brought it to her lips "your still drunk ace" she said patting him on the head before helping him up Dagger turned to see Marco on his ass laughing "what's so funny Mr. pineapple?" she asked ace and Marco looked at her shocked "that's what I call him all the time!" Ace shouted excited dagger laughed "don't call me that" he said grumbling "then what's so funny" she asked "you two" he said remembering why he was laughing they both cocked their heads to the side in sync "you were straddling him!" Marco said laughing harder as he fell on the floor dagger sighed "come on Marco I think we should get you to bed" dagger said "yeah I think your right" he said dagger walked over and helped him up "come on" she said he chuckled "aw are you gonna tuck me in?" He asked dagger  shrugged "sure but I'm not kissing you good night" she said "awwww but that's the best part!" He whined dagger giggled and walked Marco to his room which was surprisingly close to her own bedroom it was across the hall she helped him into bed "what're you pouting about?" She asked "you won't kiss me good night" he whined dagger laughed and planted a soft kiss on his forehead "there Now good night" she said walking to the door she could hear Marco chuckling as she left going back out to the deck she drank with ace soon she started feeling woozy and sleepy she turned to ace "I gotta go to bed" she said sleepily rubbing her eyes "aw you look like a little kid when you do that" he said teasing "shut up I'm sleepy" she said ace chuckled "I'm sleepy to I'm heading to bed as soon as I finish this" he said Riki nodded and began heading in "good night ace" she said stumbling slightly "night dagger" ace said drinking dagger shut the door behind her and started walking down the hall when she heard a the familiar sound of footsteps she turned around with a small smile playing on her lips before suddenly falling backwards she didn't hit the floor though she slowly opened her eyes to come face to face with ace who had caught her with one arm and himself with the other and way in a one armed push up position "sorry" he mumbled she burst out laughing "it's okay" she said looking up towards him he carefully pulled her up with him she giggled "defiantly bed time" she said yawning he nodded "yup" dagger walked with ace talking quietly ace stopped in front of his door and looked at dagger "what want me to tuck you in to?" She asked laughing quietly ace nodded and dagger giggled following ace into his room it was surprisingly neat and tidy Dagger pulled aces hat off his head leaving it on the end table before he took off his belt and kicked off his boots, ace crawled into bed and she pulled his blankets up for him before kissing him gently on the forehead "there now good night ace" dagger said softly ace rolled onto his side watching her leave she quietly shut the door before going to her room she  un buttoned her pants before getting to the door she yawned entering she pulled off her jacket tossing it onto the head of the bed where it hung neatly she kicked off her shoes then her pants and removed her sword placing it under her pillow before she laid down passing out within seconds.
