Title: Time for the Important Things
Topic: Time
Word Count: 227
Rating: PG-13 (swearing)
Pairing: Ace/Smoker
Summary: Can a pirate really fit into a Marine’s life

*******************

“Leave, Portgas.”  Smoker held only vague hopes that this time the little idiot would listen.  He refused to spend the night with a wanted criminal, again.  He also flat-out refused to have an argument about why he should, again.  “I don’t have time for you and your idiocy.”

“Fuck that, make time!  I’m here now and your paperwork isn’t going anywhere.” But Ace wasn’t making this easy.

“I have more important things to do.”  I don’t have time for you.  My life doesn’t have time for you.  Smoker bit down hard on that thought, but it looked like Ace might’ve caught a hint of it in his eyes anyway.  Sometimes the whelp was crafty like that.  

Ace twitched once, on the verge of leaving, attacking, or laughing the whole thing off, damn if he understood the boy well enough to guess.  But the face-off held, both sides glaring stubbornly and refusing to submit.

It was true; his life really didn’t have room in it for this brat of a pirate.  There was no place in his schedule, heart or morals for the foolish boy.  Which is why there decisively was not any kind of empty feeling left behind when fire flickered out to the waiting skiff below, leaving no indication of when or if it might return but an angry growl.

If you're knee-deep in water and see the pyramids, you're in de-Nile... < / stupidity >

Ah, Smoker, you are such an idiot at times. Much love for the last line!

But he's our idiot (one of many) and we love him, despite his stupidity. And thank you, I'm rather partial to it myself. ^^

Oh Smoker. Get over it. You know you want to jump the boy's bones.

[yuki-kokoro.livejournal.com]

True who wouldn't, but what would it take to get him to admit it? @_@

[rab-rumrunner.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm, a large quantity of alcohal, nice, expensive OP equivalent of Cuban cigars, and Ace losing the shorts.

hmmmm - you are giving me ideas (albeit silly ones, but let's face it, we love silly ideas) as to how to maybe finish my nigh-abandoned "stay forever" SmoAce fic - and I can use any I can get.

[yuki-kokoro.livejournal.com]

Do eeeeeeeeeeeet!

We do love silly ideas, and there should always be more SmoAce in the world. ^^ (Plus, any end is usually better than abandonment, both for the writer and the readers)

[rab-rumrunner.livejournal.com]

ohhhhh ideas. Finish it pleeeease. Sometimes silly ideas are even better than serious ones, and I would love to see your fic.

We do love silly ideas, and there should always be more SmoAce in the world.
True, True.

My eyes caught Ace/Smoker and I literally jumped for joy. (*scared my brother I think*)

Poor Smoker though. Doesn't see what goodness is infront of him. Can't stay mad at him though...he's Smoker. ^_^

Too true, too true. ^_^

I want to keep working on these two so I can eventually write a longer story about them, I just have a hard time internalizing their relationship. I imagine that Smoker would struggle so hard against it I need to work out exactly what forces are working against himi other than mad wild attraction of course.

A longer story?!? *jumps up and down** Can't wait for that.

I know what you mean. I have a bit of difficulty with my SmoAce at times with their interaction. Anyways hope it smoothens up.

dumbass marine... *sniffle*

Don't worry, no one can resist Ace forever. And when he finally gives in Ace will make sure he makes up for all this denial. *nods*
