Smoker never cared for getting mixed up in student drama. He’d hear enough of it as he roamed the halls or before class started.
Break ups, gossip, all that stupid shit that doesn’t really matter. However one day, while he was subbing for the gym teacher as a favor, he noticed something was off.
Portgas D. Ace, a regular smartass, decent student, but he’d smoke on school grounds, skip classes, and hang out with other smartass punks. But now he was different, Ace was quiet, bruised up, and sported a nasty black eye. He handed a note to Smoker at the beginning of the class, excusing him from the class activities that day.
Normally he’d shrug off this kind of thing; it was no business of his. But he kept Ace after class, after a while of beating around the bush trying not to sound like he actually gave a damn; he finally got the question out.
“It’s nothing to worry about. Gramps just caught me with someone he didn’t want me to be with…” Ace said with a smile.
“Those jackasses you hang out with after school?”
“No, my boyfriend.” The freckled teen said simply. “Gramps didn’t take it too well, as you can see…”
Smoker gave Ace a questioning look. Was he joking? Smoker thought back to the many times he saw Ace slyly flirting with girls. It then came to his attention that he might have been paying too much attention to the brat. “You’re gay?”
“Nah…” Ace said with a slight laugh. “I’m bisexual. Plenty of love to go around~!”
Smoker wasn’t sure weather to worry or smack him. “You’re one weird kid.” Right then Ace gave a serene smile that took him off guard. Next thing he knew, the little bastard stole a kiss.
-End-
VTM: Hope this ending doesn’t seem too abrupt; I really wanted to keep this one at 300 words. Full version is posted in my journal, if anyone is interested.
