Way to busy (still), so it's just a quick one- my apologies...

It had sounded like a good idea at the time, but now... he wasn't so sure that excuse was sound. This change of heart may have had something to do with their current situation, and the knowledge that however drunk Smoker got, he was likely to remember everything that occurred once he sobered up. That oddity had caused Ace many cases of 'forced abstinence' after one innocent prank or another - and while the Marine had once awoken to find himself in frilly pink panties (an image Ace swears was worth a month without sex) he had never before gone far enough to actually dress the other man up - or sneak him out.

Now, a few drinks and a harsh rebuff (a left hook wasn’t always the best way to say 'no') to an inebriated proposition later, they found themselves surrounded by somewhat familiar marines (it was the bar Smoker's own crew habited, after all...) who were quickly closing in.

Well, Ace had never been known to quietly surrender, even if he was... almost sure Taisa would take pity on him later- so he just tried not to hurt anyone too much while he got them out of the bar.

It was sheer luck that the wig stayed on until they had gotten a few blocks away...

Later, as morning light filtered through the blinds, Ace was roused from slumber by a familiar bellow. It seemed his partner had gone to pay the beer tax. Wincing slightly, Ace crept out of bed- quietly gathering his things.

It was about time for a trip... he'd pop back to see Smoker in a few week--

"PORTIGAS!!"

--er... months.

The blinds were still slapping the window when Smoker stormed into the empty room- traces of lipstick still on his face.

I'm trying to write more often since I've noticed my skills lacking, lately. We'll see if practice does indeed make perfect (or at least, 'less sucky'. ^_~) As for the end of this one- in my mind, bathroom = mirror. ^_~

Also- if anyone cares, I started a general writing comm for one piece. I'd just noticed there really was nowhere to post gen fiction, so I made one that was gen friendly, as well as yaoi, het or yuri. Its over here if anyone's interested:
