#because he wouldn't come and steal from the gas station with Ace

[wordsdrippinginink]

Could you do "It's three in the morning and I'm bored and you're the only one awake. Let's break into a gas station store." With either Marco/Ace or Ace/Sabo? If you're taking prompts that is. Thank you!~💖

Okay, so...I’m not going to apologize for it, but I looked at this while I was really tired and things smooshed together? So..?? And I already planned it all out, but I can redo it if you want? Just let me know?

Sabo tugs at his hair, trying to pay attention to the words swimming together on the page in front of him. He had a test on chapters six through nine in two days and it was like crawling over sandpaper trying to make it through a single page, let alone the hundred something he had to finish. He yawns, glancing up at the clock and biting his lip hard enough to draw blood at the sight of Ace outside his window.

Ace waves motioning for him to open the window, his eyes bright with mischief, “Hey.”

“It’s three in the morning, literally three in the morning,” Sabo demands as he opens the window for Ace. “Why are you climbing up the house? You know that my parents would pay someone to murder you if they see you on their property again.”

“It’s three in the morning,” Ace shoots back crawling into the room, sitting on the edge of the desk. “Come have fun with me.”

“Go bug Marco.”

“I can’t,” Ace whines. “He’s got a real job and you know it, he won’t come have fun with me, please?”

“I have to finish the book for English.”

Ace frowns and tilts his head, “You mean the one I set on fire a couple of weeks ago?”

“You’re going to fail English again.”

“The hell I will,” Ace says pouting at Sabo. “I looked it up on Sparknotes, I know enough to pass tests and bullshit my way through an essay, try me.”

Sabo sighs, “Fine, fine. What do you want to do?”

“Break into the gas station with me!”

Sabo stares at him blankly before sighing, “Let’s do it.”

“Yes!”

“Shut up,” Sabo hisses glancing at his bedroom door, locked and with a chair wedged under the doorknob just in case. “We have to be careful, if I get one more charge on my criminal record, they will murder me.”

Ace snorts, “You say that like we aren’t going to end up with more charges at some point. I wasn’t the one that said we should set fire to Arlong’s car, you were.”

“He was being a dick to Koala, she’s my best friend, I had to do something.”

“And landed us both in juvie for six months. I think that’s the only time that the old man hasn’t been pissed about me going to jail.”

“Hush you,” Sabo grins. “Alright, you said the gas station?”

“The one that Franky works at, the cameras are down. Plus he says that Robin has the morning shift, so if we don’t fuck shit up too much, she’ll even cover for us.”

“You do know how to sweet talk a guy into robbery,” Sabo says shaking his head. “Lead the way.”

Ace pouts, refusing to move, arms crossing over his chest, “All of this hard work so we can have some fun and you won’t even reward me?”

“You are so needy,” Sabo says rolling his eyes, kissing Ace quickly and patting his thigh. “Now, get out the window.”

“Fine,” Ace sighs. “But the romance is dead, I’m telling Marco that you don’t love us anymore.

“Maybe it’s just you,” Sabo teases following him out onto the roof and pulling the window to, so it would take a second glance to notice that he had left by it. “Maybe I’m still in love with Marco.”

“Mean,” Ace whines. “After I went through all the hard work of making sure that Luffy took a bath and was in bed before I left the house.”

“We both know he’s gone.”

“I did what I’m suppose to. Not my job to sit on him until he falls asleep, besides, I’m sure nothing too bad will happen.”

Sabo shakes his head jumping off the roof and waiting for Ace to shimmy down the same drain pipe he used to climb up, “You could go faster.”

“I want to have knees when I grow up,” Ace shoots back. “One of us has to be able to push your and Marco’s wheelchairs. And Koala’s. And Luffy’s. We know too many people who jump like that. I’m just being responsible.”

“I would never believe it.”

“Ass,” Ace mutters reaching the ground. “Come on, I brought the kit and left it in the alleyway. Hurry before one of your family’s security people catch us.”

Sabo snorts, following Ace quickly to the fence and scrambling over quickly and dropping to the ground, barely stopping before running off with a shared grin. The bag is right where Ace left it and they pass by his house on the way to the gas station, the front door carelessly left open.

“Luffy’s out,” Sabo says grinning as Ace groans. “You okay?”

“The old man is going to be back early in the morning, apparently he convinced his boss to give him time off. He already said if we weren’t both home when he got there, he would be upset. I’m going to beg Marco to sleep at his place.”

“Like Marco would say no.”

“He’s a real adult now,” Ace says making the same face that Sabo’s father had when he had gotten caught kissing Ace the first time. “You shouldn’t bother him, he’ll forget about you soon.”

“Who told you that?” Sabo asks concerned.

Ace shrugs, dropping Sabo’s hand and shoving his hands into his pockets and pretending he hadn’t said anything. Sabo frowns, but lets it drop for time being, making a note to remember to text Marco about the strangeness of the comment and how Ace had reacted.

“Here we are,” Ace says eyes wide with excitement. “I think the back door might be our best point of entrance?”

“Yeah, don’t want to get spotted,” Sabo agrees accepting the lockpicks that Ace hands him. “I get the lock?”

“It is technically Koala’s turn, but she’s not here.”

Sabo nods leading the way into the alleyway and heading for the door, leaving Ace to watch his back as he opened the lock. Sabo shakes his head as it easily opens, almost too easily if he didn’t know that this was how the lock always was.

“We’re in,” Sabo whispers shoving the door open. “Ace?”

“I’m here,” Ace says appearing right behind him, grinning excitedly. “Come on, let’s get what we want and... oh, no.”

Sabo twists to catch sight of whatever it was that Ace could see, before going absolutely still. Pulling along the road was a cop car, one that they knew quite well, belong to the Sherrif who had dragged them in for the incident with Arlong and several others.

“We might want to run, in a rather hurriedly matter away from here.” Ace hisses backing up slowly, hand on Sabo’s collar tugging him away. “Come on, we have to go.”

“I’m moving,” Sabo promises scrambling to his feet and following Ace through a series of alleyways and gasping for breath as they both came to a stop at the park. “How the hell?”

“Probably got told that the,” Ace gasps. “Cameras were out and wanted an eye on the building. That was close.”

“What was close?”

They both turn, Marco lounging on a bench a few feet away, his eyes close and his hand crossed over his chest.

“Nothing,” Ace answers.

“It wouldn’t have to do with the ten texts that I got about breaking into the gas station?” Marco adds. “Because I hear the Sheriff is keeping a car there all night.”

“We would never,” Sabo says feigning shock.

Marco laughs, “Then I suppose you don’t want to come with me to the one on sixth street? I hear the cameras are down and they didn’t warn the cops like the one by your house.”

“I love you,” Ace and Sabo say in unison, eyes bright.

“I love you too, now come on. I want to grab snacks and go home, I do have work tomorrow, after all.”

Ace throws himself forward dragging Marco to his feet, “Come on! I’m hungry!” He says dragging them both off. “Come on!”

Sabo glances at Marco, grinning, “Thanks for coming.”

“We better not get caught, Pops said he’s won’t bail us out until after your parents and Ace’s gramps get word. And I do want to got to work later.”

“Talk later,” Ace whines. “Why are you doing this?”

“Sorry,” They answer, exchanging looks and ignoring the pout that makes it way across Ace’s face before hurrying to walk beside him.
