#sorry i hotta sneak in the marcoace

[xamaxenta]

Like two hot minutes away from another mental breakdown sorry i like the void that is tumblr to scream into

But consider Ace going to several crew members for comfort because boy is touch starved and needs kind interaction, which he got from his brothers but both of them aren’t with him currently

With Izou he sits near him, tending to a pot of tea - keeping it warm with his fire whilst Izou reads aloud or shows him a new book, tbh Ace’s education picks up again with him and this is where Izou finds out Ace has pure talent for maths

Fossa loves to find all things combustible with Ace, they spend a lot of time together burning shit and finding the best reactions, it’s all for Fossa’s katana, but everyone knows they just like blowing stuff up - there’s permament scorch scars within the workshop on the moby

Speed Jiru dishes out the best dad hair ruffle and always executes it on Ace whenever they’re passing by, he also has the second most groan worthy puns and jokes after Pops himself

As big as Atmos is he’s just a giant bear who just likes to sit and chill, often seen napping with Ace out on deck

Haruta, Ace’s mischief maker in arms on the level that Sabo used to be, these two should never under any circumstances be left alone together because they are most definitely plotting their next big prank

Kingdew is sort of a role model for Ace, Ace thinks this dude is cool as hell from his hair to his gauntlest, to him he’s the bees knees and Kingdew loves that Ace is his number one fan and honestly goes easy on him because of this - he can’t say no the Ace puppy eyes and receives the title Kingpushover, they’re always seen brawling and roughhousing for fun

Curiel whilst more reclusive and introverted than most of the moby crew, is also not immune to Ace and when it’s his shift to reel in the nets and sort out the catch of the day, he always requests Ace to help him who sings when he catches fish

Blenheim a man not much smaller than pops is often requested by the crew to help them reach high places, or to ride on his shoulders lol - Ace and Blenheim have a combo attack that involves Ace riding on his shoulders

Namur loves Ace, it’s super wholesome and he never minds fishing him out when the logia gets thrown overboard, Ace is appealing to coldblooded creatures and Namur is no exception often leaning against Ace during times of rest, usually he and Ace sit together at dinner times

Rakuyo also sees Ace as a son rather than a brother figure and always tries to give him life advice, even though its kinda bad, Ace appreciates it all the same and respects this weird second or third father figure, Rakuyo just has to holler SON at Ace and Ace runs over to him like YO second pops

Blamenco after Haruta a second partner in crime, often stealing stuff from the kitchens using his pocket abilities to share with Ace because they both have tremendous and obnoxious appetites

Vista always viewed Ace as too big for his britches but like a stubborn wart Ace grew on him like everyone else, he tries and fails dismally to teach the ways of chivalry and romance to Ace

Thatch is the first friend to Ace in the crew, the older brother Ace never had and the guy Ace spills all his insecurities, worries and thoughts to - Thatch is the self proclaimed Luffy specialist thanks to this, people say he spoils Ace which is totally not true, Theyre soulmates in the bromance sense (sorry deuce)

Jozu has always been self conscious of his looks, he’s pretty intimidating and his smile is kind of wonky, Ace unlike most new recruits does not quake in his boots at the mere sight of Diamond Jozu and instead calls him an old man and that his devil fruit power is awesome, they have a special handshake for each other thats very complex

Marco tries not to favour Ace but its hard not to, Ace proves to be unyieldingly loyal, sweet natured and most surprisingly polite - its no small wonder that this would check many boxes for the phoenix - and at first stayed away to deal with the strange uneeded feelings but Ace has a habit of squirming into the iciest of hearts and literally hunts Marco down until he says he loves him back - after all this they snuggle everywhere its fucking disgusting
