Notes: Uhh. o_o I haven't seen this pairing before...? (And I fail at titles.)

The summer night was quite muggy, so much as to almost be stifling. Ace didn't mind, though – he liked this kind of heat, even of it was a bit more humid than he preferred. There was a tavern at the edge of town, near the harbor, and there were shouts and the clatter of mugs on trays, and it sounded like great fun. The fire-fist bounded across the road and into the bar, hatstring flying wildly and eyes open for anything interesting.

Over in the corner was a loud group, yelling and laughing and ordering more rum: a black-haired guy with a gun, a dark-skinned guy with curly hair and a drawling voice, and a redhead with a wild grin and what looked to be only one arm. This required further examination, and maybe some booze. Ace sauntered towards them, one thumb hooked in his belt loop, a smirk on his face that rivaled the redhead's for audacity.

Shanks finally noticed him and hunched protectively over his beer with a bleary hiss. "Not yours." Ace laughed, flopped down, and flicked out a thin tongue of flame at his hand, barely enough to be seen. "Ow?" The rum was quickly stolen, and Ace drained the tankard with a flourish. "'Ey, you look familiar," Shanks said, squinting at him with somewhat bloodshot eyes. "You're Luffy's brother, righ'? The crazy one?"

"Yeah, that's me," Ace grinned. "Luffy's said a lot about you. So are you as great as he says, or was all that talk just propaganda?" Shanks splutter-laughed into his beer and said nothing. "No, 'm serious. He doesn't get any good stuff. So how many times have you fucked someone? For reference, you understand." The black-haired guy laughed quietly and went back to his book.

BEN/SHANKS IS MY OTP. X33333

Mine too. x3 Except for Jango/Fullbody which is like pure crack injected into the brain.

^_^ He's such a manslut. I don't think he can help it. Maybe it's genetic.

Cute, but I was a bit distracted by Ace not knowing them. They were in Fuchsia Village for at least a year; I would think Ace would have met them at some point.

Well, probably. ._." I couldn't think how that would work, though, if he already knew them. And thanks.
