Sorry akee...

We just gonna be time :3

[askthesillyplantzombiegame]

ight my last ask was my brain activating nueron stupid mode, so ignor it and do this one instead

what is your head cannons for scardey shroom and puffshroom, and do they have any relation with eachother, like friends, or familly, or somthing else i guess.

first off, here are some sketches of my headcanons for them appearance-wise .

i see them as brothers, scaredy being 14 and puff being 12-13. fume shroom is their father and is prone to getting angry when things are in disorder, hence the bros pretty plain appearances (and thanks to my friends personal hc, the bowl cuts .... sorry puff n scaredy).

puff is something of an ambivert, sometimes preferring to keep to himself and sometimes being very social. he runs a twitch acc at his tiny age and he rages at fortnite. akee beat his ass in it once and now they have beef

scaredy, on the other hand, leans much more towards the introverted side, and doesnt make many friends. hes also something of a goody-two-shoes sometimes, often interrupting puffs streams to get him to do chores/telling on him to fume. they still love each other tho

also i know you requested that i ignore the other ask you sent, heres a few shrooms together.

i think perfume shroom x puff shroom is cute, and i hc hypno and doom as cousins and they hate each other (and also just for fun perfume n hypno r siblings)

Clockwork Island Adventure- Pt. 3

Usopp's eyes groggily blinked open, and he looked around in confusion when he realized he was high up, strapped to a cross. "What the hell's this?" He was in shock when Zoro and Sanji were no better off than him. Not to mention the former was battered.

Nami and Venus could only look on helplessly, as the Card Pirates schemed. "Where's the 30 million guy?"

"He's been crushed by the trap," Pin Joker reported.

"Bear King-sama doesn't even have to fight to beat them!" Boo-Jack praised.

"The marriage is sealed," Honey announced.

"We must start the preparations," Skunk One declared.

"And our main number will be a test shot of the King Cannon!" He whipped the sheet off the weapon, as his lackeys watched in amazement. "Right at those three!"

"What?" Nami exclaimed.

"No!" Venus screamed.

"And you'll be the brides of the King." He lifted Nami's chin, as she and Venus glared. "Aren't you happy?"

Bear King was shocked when Nami landed a kick on his forehead with her white, heeled sandals. "Who the hell has agreed to marry you?"

"I sure didn't," Venus sneered, preparing an energy ball.

He was silent for a beat. "Do you even understand what you're saying?"

"I'd rather die with them than marry a creep like you!"

"Yeah, me too, you big jerk!" Venus shouted.

They were both smacked away to the base of the crosses. "I'll fulfill that wish! We'll change tonight's party to a funeral instead! Execute them too!"

"Yes, sir!" Skunk One obliged.

-

Elsewhere, as Luffy struggled to keep the floor down alone, Akees woke up on the staircase. "Luffy! Where did Borod go?"

"He went after the Card Pirates!"

His eyes widened at that. "What? Borod!" He ran like mad up the stairs, leaving him alone.

"Hey, what about me? Help me out!"

-

By now, Nami and Venus' wrists were tied behind their backs, as they were kept by the crosses. Venus was more of a kicker, so her ankles were tied as well. They and the boys looked on in horror, as Bear King prepared the cannon, pulling a lever back. On cue, the elevator rose in front, blocking the cannon's path. It was Borod! "Who the hell are you?" Bar King sneered.

He whipped off his cloak, and the Card Pirates reacted in horror when he was revealed to have dynamite strapped around his waist. "Sorry, pal." He turned on a lighter. "I took some of your fireworks."

"That voice," Usopp remarked.

"Borod-san!" Venus perked up.

"Yeah!" Sanji agreed.

"He's gonna kill himself!" Zoro fussed.

"What?!" Venus' eye widened in terror.

"This is how I play. I'm taking you down with me!"

Bear King jumped down from the cannon. "Are you utterly mad? You can't blow these up here!" He stood over a glass panel, above a giant wind-up key slowly turning. "Look at this ratchet. You know what it is?"

"The island ratchet!"

"If you blow up now, you'll crush the whole island with you." As Borod hesitated, Bear King lunged in for the attack.

The shaking elevator, and the oncoming dents told them their supposed savior was getting pummeled. "Borod-san!" Venus exclaimed.

He landed in front of Pin Joker, who lifted his head up to taunt him. "Like a cloth to a flame."

""Moth" to a flame."

Now angry, he lifted Borod off the floor to finish him off, only for a staff to stop him. It was Akees! "Don't... don't you touch Borod!"

He was thrown back down roughly. "Akees!"

"You little brat!"

-

Meanwhile, as Luffy struggled, his wind-up toy fell into the room in front of him, one of the blades breaking on impact. Akees. "It's him." Now more motivated, he pushed even harder with a shout of determination.

-

On the top floor, as the battle continued, a horde of rooms came crashing up from underneath, surprising everyone. "What's happening?" Bear King watched in shock.

They were followed by Luffy launching himself upward, and panted after landing safely on the floor. "Finally here!"

As the rooms fell away, the island started rumbling, catching the guards' attention. "What's going on?" They began to file outside.

"Card Castle?"

"Hurry up!"

The citizens noticed the commotion as well, including the scientist couple from the town. "It's them," The woman concluded.

"Luffy!" Usopp cheered.

"Finally!" Sanji said.

"Luffy!" Nami beamed.

"You're okay!" Venus exclaimed.

"You're late," Zoro smirked.

"So you're Straw Hat Luffy?" Bear King loomed over him.

The captain glanced around the room. "Where are all the others?" He picked something up from the floor, making Borod and Akees tense up. "I found something fun!" It was a lit stick of dynamite, and Borod's lighter!

"What?!" Bear King's eyes widened in horror.

"No! Idiot!" The Thief Brothers yelled frantically.

"What? Should I drop it? Okay." He threw the dynamite away.

Right into the others, in the elevator. As Borod and Akees panicked, and the Card Pirates stared in shock, the elevator exploded.

Luffy turned to them after watching the smoke billow. "Have you seen my crew?" He asked obliviously.

"You just blew them up!" The brothers shouted.

"I what?!"

Miraculously, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp emerged from the smoke. They were unharmed, if not a little singed; but one of them was not happy. "Luffy!" Usopp seethed. "You're freaking mad!"

"Whatever," Sanji smirked, "It got us out of there."

Zoro swung his stiff arm. "Yep. That's right."

"Oh," Luffy said all too casually, "You're okay."

"No thanks to you!" Usopp yelled.

Suddenly, the Card Pirates charged in to attack, scaring Usopp into climbing up higher, with Skunk One flying after him. "Usopp!" Before Zoro could go to help, Pin Joker started another duel.

Meanwhile Sanji untied Nami and Venus' wrists, and the latter's ankles, then stood in Boo-Jack's way. "Don't touch them, riddle creep! I'll kick you to hell!"

"Oh, I'm shaking in my boots!" Boo-Jack mocked, and laughed at him. "Kick me with those puny feet?"

"Why, you..." Sanji charged in, but a shoe was thrown at his face. "Hey, who did that?!" He was angry, before he realized; it was one of his shoes! He looked up, and saw Usopp standing on the deck of the Going Merry. "Usopp!"

As Skunk One pursued him, the sniper grabbed his trusty slingshot. "Eat this! Egg Star!" He shot an egg in his face, sending him to the deck.

"It stinks!" He flailed about. "It's a bloody rotten egg! I hate stinkers!"

"Says you!" Usopp taunted.

Skunk One jumped to his feet. "I'll get you!"

Usopp panicked when he went to tackle him; he dodged, and quickly threw the three swords down. "Zoro! Catch these!"

Nami and Venus managed to grab them before they could land on the ground. "Yes!" The witch beamed.

"Thanks!"

Pin Joker ran to the girls, but the swordsman blocked his path after retrieving his weapons. "You try to slash one with his back turned?" He smirked.

Meanwhile, Bear King tried to punch Luffy, but he jumped away. "Gum-Gum Gatling!" He launched many punches at top speed, but his opponent was unmoved. "What?"

"It's not working," Borod observed.

Luffy stopped the attack. "My body is made of steel, you know. A wobbly, rubber guy like you doesn't stand a chance."

"Oh, I see," Luffy grinned, "You're right!"

"Don't listen to him!" Borod yelled.

"So, you give up?" Bear King taunted.

"'Course I don't. You can't beat me."

"What?"

By now, Sanji was wearing his covered, protecting shoes, as he tried to light a cigarette. "And what can you do with a pair of shoes? A weakling like you can't protect even the smallest ladybug!"

"You have fire?"

"You'll die on my thorns, and that's that!" Boo-Jack curled into a spiky ball, and rolled up to Sanji, but he kicked him away without a word, sending him flying into the room.

He was stuck into the ceiling, as Borod and Akees watched in awe. Sanji jumped up for another kick. "You wondered..." He sent him to the floor. "What I can do?" He kicked him to a wall, shocking Honey, and continued his barrage.

"He's amazing!" Akees beamed.

"I told you..." Sanji descended down, "You'd regret what you said!" He drove him into the floor with one last kick.

"Yes!" Akees cheered.

With that, Sanji walked away. "Lowly idiot." He tossed his cigarette on his battered opponent.

Meanwhile, Zoro tore the sleeves off his jacket, and whipped his scarf off to tie it around his waist. "Roronoa Zoro, you have my respect," Pin Joker admitted, "You can still stand after my poison darts." He then tied his bandana over his green hair. Now he meant business. "But that is all you can do."

Zoro stuck one sword handle in his mouth, gripping the other two in his hands. "Who cares? I told you you can't get me. I can't afford to lose. There's no way!"

On the ship, Usopp was still being pursued by Skunk One, and despite his efforts, he was kicked to the prow. "It's hopeless! You can't run away! Have you forgotten my stink gas?"

Usopp started to panic. "No, no, no, no, no!"

"Say your prayers!"

"Stop, stop, stop! Nooooo!" Usopp quickly dropped the facade with a confident grin. "Fooled ya! Powder Star!" He launched the bullet, then jumped down in the water to avoid the explosion. He floated up to the surface, catching his breath. "Eat that, you worthless bag of filth!"

In the room, Luffy was still battling Bear King, dodging his punches. "Gum-Gum Whip!" His attack was completely ineffective; it only sent him spinning, before Bear King sent him flying into a wall. "This is actually pretty annoying," He griped.

Akees watched the battle between Zoro and Pin Joker, as the former dodged the latter's sword left and right. "Behind you!" He warned, because the swordsman was getting closer and closer to the vacant elevator shaft.

"You look pained, but one creeps what one sows."

"It's "reaps"!" Venus butted in, gaining his attention. "Learn about idioms, idiot!" After launching an energy ball, which he managed to dodge, and taunting him with akanbe, she started running about to distract him.

"You little punk!"

The swordsman panicked when he started pursuing the young witch, sword swinging dangerously close. "Don't you touch her!" As she ran, Venus tripped over her long skirt, giving Pin Joker an advantage, and ended up backing into a wall, the weapon pointed in her face.

"You're parking up the wrong tree, little girl!"

He went to stab her, but was blocked off. ""Barking"!" Zoro corrected angrily, and threw him away from her, as she quickly crawled to Akees.

That did it. "You insolent! Feather Darts!" The yellow weapons were sent out, but he sent them right back where they came effortlessly.

"Amazing!" Akees beamed.

"Impossible! You shouldn't be able to move from the poison!"

"Sorry to disappoint you. But I can't be defeated here."

"Hm?" He stepped back at Zoro's intimidating look.

"There's a man far away, waiting for me to arrive. I can't be defeated, until I surpass him!"

The two went for the final hit... and Pin Joker was down for the count. "Yeah!" Akees cheered.

"Yes!" Venus joined in simultaneously, as they joyfully hugged each other.

Honey's eyes widened in fear. "No! No way!"

Venus noticed her stripping and making a beeline for the pipe. "Hey! Where're you going, lady?!" As fate would have it... she tripped again. "Damn dress!" She glared down at her long garment.

Luckily, thanks to quick maneuvering, the pipe went straight into a clear glass jar Nami found lying around; Honey went straight in, to her dismay. "And there we go!" She grinned, and screwed the lid tightly on top.

"Ah! Let me out! Let me out!" As the jar thrashed and jumped, Nami grabbed a roll of tape, and quickly went to work in sealing her inside.

"Not a chance!" She refused.

"Alright, Nami!" The witch cheered.

"Should've gotten a shorter gown, Venus," The redhead winked jokingly.

"You're telling me," She retaliated with a smirk. There was a sudden rumble, as Luffy was sent into another wall. "Luffy!" She exclaimed in concern.

"What's with him?" He rubbed his sore head. He tried another Pistol punch, but was thrown to the ceiling.

"Luffy!" Nami yelled fearfully, as he fell back to the floor.

Bear King's fist suddenly began glowing a fiery red, before igniting in flames, sending the captain running. "Melting Fist Special!"

Luffy screamed from the burning pain, before regaining his footing. "Gum-Gum...!" His fist went into Bear King's, only to be roasted. And stuck. "Ow! Ow! What happened?" He tried to pull his hand away, succeeding after Bear King loosened his grip.

"It's time to die, Rubber Boy!"

"Bear King!" Borod shouted. Without another word, he shot the King Cannon in his direction; knocking the patriarch aside, the explosive was sent flying, before going off in the ocean. One of the Card Pirates' ships was nearby, with the subordinates aboard fearful of the sudden explosion.

"Amazing," Nami watched from the glass wall.

"Borod!" Akees exclaimed.

"Yeah, Borod-san!" Venus cheered.

"I won't miss next time," He threatened.

"How dare you fire my cannon?" Bear King whipped out a pistol, and shot directly at him.

"Wait!" Venus shouted.

To Borod's shock and horror, Akees took the bullet for him! He was sent through the glass, flying out of the room. "Akees!" Borod ran to the damage, and found him slumped over a broken pane. "Akees!"

He looked down at him weakly. "Now I'm also a... real man... of the seas." Drifting into unconsciousness, he slipped down from the pane.

"Akees!" Borod made a mad dash, but he flew away with a parachute. "Hang on, Akees!"

Luffy watched, as he floated away. "That idiot took the bullet himself!" Bear King remarked. "So keen on saving others. Petty, pathetic, stupid little kid!"

He noticed Luffy had his head low, and his hands in tight fists. "What did you just say?"

"I said "pathetic, stupid little kid"!"

Venus growled in anger, as Luffy had enough. "I'll have you choke on that!" He grabbed his fiery arm, bearing through the searing pain, and threw him to the throne, resulting in the whole top floor collapsing, and the captive ships, sans Merry, falling.

Now furious, Bear King emerged through the waterfall. "I'll teach you what happens to those who make a fool outta me!" He readjusted the cannon, to Luffy's anger. "King Cannon will eat you! Die!" As he pushed the lever, Luffy grabbed the giant gold bullet, shocking Sanji and Venus, and wrapped his legs around a still-standing pillar, twisting himself up. "What the hell?!"

"Gum-Gum..." He launched himself back, fury in his eyes. "Slingshot!"

The bullet was shot straight at Bear King, as was the cannon, and they were sent down the shaft with the island ratchet. It was followed by an explosion, as noticed by the citizens, and the ratchet toppled down. The minefield started going off every which way.

"What...?" Sanji watched in confusion.

"The island ratchet!"

"The ratchet?" He widened his eyes at Nami.

"S-something's happening!" Usopp exclaimed.

"What?"

"We gotta scram!" Zoro urged.

"Yeah!" Nami agreed.

"Hey, Luffy!" Zoro called, as Venus stayed close.

"Luffy!"

"Luffy!"

He looked up when his hat was tossed back to him, and he set it on his head. "Oops."

"The ratchet is destroyed," The male scientist concluded, "The whole island will collapse before long. Are you ready?"

"Yes," The citizens responded.

"Akees! Akees!" To Borod's relief, he started to wake up. "Akees... you... are you okay?"

With a weak smile, Akees took a metal plate out of his shirt. It had a small dent, from where the bullet struck. "It hurts a little." He set it down close by.

Borod sighed in relief. "You had me worried."

Akees turned to his left. "Borod... I hear something." They, and the citizens turned to the castle. The Diamond Clock was unharmed, and the arms were turning! It also played a certain song.

"The Diamond Clock..." The male scientist watched alongside his wife.

"It hasn't worked in years," She remarked.

"This melody...!" Borod stood up in surprise.

The Straw Hats made it to the Merry amongst everything. "It's Akees' music box melody," Usopp remarked.

"Wow, it's beautiful," Venus smiled.

Remembering everything, Usopp approached her in concern. Her skirt had some rips in it from being tripped on. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I am," She nodded, "You?"

"Yeah."

She waved her hand in front of her nose. "Is that that guy's gas I smell on you?"

"Oh, yes!" He grinned with pride. "The stinky situation was hopeless, until Captain Usopp jumped in, and saved the day! We battled twice, and both times, he was sent packing!"

"Wow!" Venus lit up, as the others, sans Luffy, rolled their eyes. They made mental notes to tell her the truth later.

Everyone turned to the clock when it suddenly stopped working again. "Huh?" The gear around the top of the island started descending, and all the buildings, including Card Castle crumbled right after. The Merry fell from the tower, the crew holding on for dear life; the citizens urgently evacuated, using parachutes, just as the tower fell completely.

"I feel bad for the people there," Venus frowned sadly, now in casual clothes of skinny jeans and a t-shirt.

"They'll be fine," Zoro assured, "They'll find a new home." By now, everyone was back in their usual garbs.

"Will you be okay?" Luffy asked Borod.

"Yeah. He's got great parents." As he learned earlier, the scientist couple were Akees' parents; when he was an infant, they had sent him to sea when the Card Pirates invaded, so he would be spared the upcoming horrors. "It's best for him to live there. I'm used to being alone. Actually, I'm relieved."

"Huh?" Venus raised an eyebrow.

"He was just getting in my way. And I can have the treasure for myself."

They could tell he was sad, but staying strong. "Can you make it alone?" Nami asked.

"A partner never hurts," Sanji added.

"Lone thieves aren't cool," Usopp remarked.

"Being alone is not fun," Venus pouted.

"I'll find one eventually," Borod assured.

Zoro looked to the ocean, and smirked. "I think you already have."

"That's right, Borod!" He was surprised when Akees eagerly leaped onto his boat.

"Akees!"

"You can't just split! Luckily, I'm smarter than you!"

"But what about your parents?"

"Don't be silly. I'm a man of the seas! I risk my life to follow my heart!"

"But you..."

"We're the world's best thief brothers, right?"

"Akees." Borod was emotionally moved, as he let a smile grow. "Yeah."

"Right. So we'll share this treasure as brothers."

"Correct!"

"Half each? 'Cause I'm grown, now."

"No, seven-three!"

"Don't be so greedy, bro!"

Venus giggled in her hand. "They really are brothers."

"Yep," Zoro smirked.

"You think they'll be okay?"

"After 8 years of thieving, I bet they'll be just fine," Nami replied.

Clockwork Island Adventure- Pt. 2

Meanwhile in Card Castle, a serious competition was underway: specifically, a game of poker between Nami, and her captors. "And I win again!" Nami boasted after laughing with victory, and gathered her earnings. "So sorry, guys."

Venus watched from behind the redhead, leaning against the dresser with crossed arms. "See why I didn't want to play?" She snarked. Despite her not being in the crew for long, she already knew not to get her money involved with the greedy navigator. Thanks for the warning, Zoro.

"She's going to make us lose everything!" Skunk One moped.

"Why don't they come to try and save you?" Honey tried to break her spirits.

"The traps must've got them," Boo-Jack guessed.

"It'd be easier if they were that weak," Nami retorted.

"They can get through anything," Venus added.

"Out of the frying pan... into the fryer."

Venus furrowed her eyebrows. "What?"

Nami looked at Pin Joker with annoyance. "It's "fire"." He glared, but stayed calm.

Honey stood on her feet. "I'll go, and check up on them."

"Running away, are you?" Nami beamed. "You owe me quite a lot." Venus rolled her eye. "You can pay with your body!" In retaliation, Honey stripped down completely, and turned completely into water, shocking the two girls. "What?"

Honey slithered down a pipe, as Boo-Jack rode out on his unicycle. "Let's go!"

Nami looked on in awe. 'Don't tell me she's...'

Venus turned to her, feeling surprised herself. "Is that what you meant, by her paying with her body?" Her innocent question was met with silence.

-

Elsewhere, the guys rode in a basket with a parachute above the town. "Cool! It's like an airplane!" Usopp commented in awe, as he and Luffy enjoyed the view.

"Watch out, there's a minefield below us!" Borod warned.

"Hey, look at those windmills," Luffy pointed out.

"Eh?" Usopp perked up.

Luffy took out his toy from the beach, and looked back and forth between it, and the real thing. "They're identical."

"It must be from here," Usopp observed.

Luffy tried to wind it, but it wouldn't budge. "It's broken."

"Give it to me," Akees held his hand out. After Luffy gave him the toy, he whipped out a blue-handled screwdriver, and began tinkering with the wind-up key.

He opened the top, and continued to work, as Luffy and Usopp watched in awe. "Wow, you're pretty good at this kinda stuff!" Usopp complimented.

"He's amazing!" Borod said, as he steered the makeshift balloon. "He can repair pretty much everything."

Just then, Akees put his screwdriver away. "There, fixed."

He winded the key, and sure enough, it was working just like new. "Cool!" Luffy gushed. "Wow, you're great!"

"Oh dear, are you still alive?" A familiar, female voice interrupted the happy moment. Sure enough, strangely-colored water descended from a pipe, and Honey started to manifest nearby.

"It's that hot babe!" Sanji swooned, as Usopp held him by the waist to keep him from falling. "I gotta see her again!"

"Calm down."

"What was that?!" Zoro demanded.

"Devil Fruit powers," Borod replied.

"Correct!" Boo-Jack threw Honey's long coat to her, as she fully changed appearance, back to being fully clothed.

"Melt-Melt Fruit. Boo-Jack, give them their prize."

Boo-Jack rode his unicycle along the rope tied to the basket. "Yes! Come to me!" Sanji gushed obliviously, but his face quickly changed to disappointment when it wasn't her approaching them. Boo-Jack threw a ball at them, and Sanji prepared to kick it away, but it suddenly jutted out black spikes all over. He wasn't quick enough to pull away; his already injured foot was impaled.

"Sanji!" Luffy exclaimed in terror.

"Right in his foot!" Zoro remarked.

Sanji started to fall, but luckily, Borod grabbed his ankle, just as Honey floated over. "Hold it right there!" Using her powers, she shot a large gush of water over the crew. Borod accidentally dropped Sanji, who bounced face-first on the grass, followed by a mine explosion.

"Sanji!" Luffy screamed, as they flew away.

-

Nami and Venus gasped in shock when the battered, tied-up cook was suddenly brought in, and thrown to them close by. "Sanji-kun!" Nami looked over him in concern.

"Your feet!" Venus cried at the bloody sight before her.

"Nami-san, Venus-chan... I'm sorry."

"Sanji-kun!"

Bear King approached them. "Look, I spared his life. That's how much I love you two."

"I see now," Nami stood on her feet, "Yes, I really prefer strong men like you."

"Yes!"

"But I need more time to think..."

"Me too," Venus agreed.

"I understand."

"So don't kill..."

"Skunk One!"

"Sir! I will convince them!"

"Wait!" Venus shouted.

"No!" Nami protested. "I said don't kill-!"

"Now, let's play." Bear King kept Nami and Venus back, as Skunk One flew away.

-

Meanwhile, the guys recovered from the crash landing outside the spade-bearing gate. "Damn it all!" Usopp fussed. "If only I had my slingshot."

"You wouldn't dare to anyway," Akees snarked.

"What?" Usopp glared.

"Borod would save me, even if he lost both feet!" He bragged.

It was then when Usopp noticed: Borod had a metal, prosthetic hand under his left sleeve. "Your hand... did you?"

"Yup, he always protects me, risking his life for me."

"You brag about being saved?"

That caught Akees off guard. "I'm just a kid, and I'm still weak, so..."

Usopp stood on his feet in anger. "It's not a question about being weak or not!"

"Stop it," Borod put a hand on the sniper's shoulder, "That's enough."

"It's not!" Usopp nudged him off. "I hate brats who think they'll always be saved!"

"As if I care!" Akees retorted.

"What'd you say?!"

"If that girl getting in Borod's business earlier thought she'll always be saved, would you hate her too??"

"Leave her out of this! I would never hate her!"

Through the argument, Luffy stared on in deep thought, then spoke up. "Okay! Let's go!" He swung his arms about in preparation. "Hey, kid. You can go home."

"What?!"

"Well, I'm not saving a weakling."

Borod's eyes widened in shock. "I'm not going home!" Akees protested.

"Okay," Luffy grinned, "Then fight! Gum-Gum Pistol!" With a single punch, the gate was totaled. "Come on!" He started to run inside, but quickly turned around the horde of angry guards, as they chased him out. "Oh, crap!"

"I'll take them!" Zoro ran in to help, followed by Usopp and the Thief Brothers.

"There's too many of them," Luffy fussed.

"Leave 'em to me!" Zoro stole a sword, and curb-stomped guards one by one effortlessly.

From the top floor of the castle, Pin Joker was watching everything. "Roronoa Zoro," He smirked.

"Ooh!" Bear King perked up when the elevator rose into the room.

"What?" Nami looked up, as did Venus.

The door opened to reveal a large, mystery device concealed by a white sheet. "So my doomsday weapon is finally done!" The patriarch eagerly ran over.

The trio of guards standing in front danced in celebration. "All hail the great Bear King-sama!"

"Much better than our last boss!"

"The King Cannon has finally been completed!"

"The spicing on the cake," Pin Joker grinned.

""Icing", you mean?" Nami corrected.

"King Cannon," Honey's eyes widened.

"Is that it?" Boo-Jack questioned.

"The legend about me has begun!" The weapon was wheeled out of the elevator. "I'll be the King of all Pirates!" He laughed evilly.

Nami turned to Sanji when he groaned in pain. "Sanji-kun!"

"I'm sorry... Nami-san, Venus-chan."

"Don't worry," Nami assured, "They're dumb, so Venus and I can-"

"No, you can't," Sanji cut her off.

"Eh?"

"I just wanted to save you... by myself..." The two girls looked down at him in sympathy, before they were surprised by him wiggling like a worm with a wide grin. "... then be hugged by you both as thanks, followed by this and that, and-!"

"You creep," Nami frowned.

"Going by yourself is reckless!" Venus scolded. "Why would you want to save us alone?!"

"That's a conversation for another time," Nami dismissed.

Just then, an angry Bear King came running. "Who are you to my fiancées?"

Sanji glared defiantly at him. "The one who rubs suntan lotion all over their backs."

"Sunblock for me," Venus corrected innocently.

"Shush," Nami hissed.

"What?!" Bear King shouted. "Crucify this creep!"

"No!" Venus protested, as Sanji was lifted by his ropes.

"He might be one of her crew, but I'm gonna kill him!" The cook was thrown roughly to the floor, and bounced into a stone wall.

He landed face-down, and was pinned down by Boo-Jack. "Watch your mouth. You weaklings have no chance against us." He wrenched his heel in his back.

Sanji glared up at him, weak from his injuries. "You'll regret those words before the day is over," He vowed.

-

Outside, the rest of the crew were warding off the endless guards; Luffy using Gum Gum Pistol, Zoro slashing and stabbing with his "borrowed" sword, and Borod punching them out. "What's this stench?" Usopp complained, closing his long nose.

Skunk One. He was perched menacingly on top of a tall pole in front of them. "Welcome to Card Castle. Your friend is waiting." He pointed to the sky.

"What?" Everyone looked up, and to their horror, the cook was strapped to a cross.

"Sanji!" Luffy exclaimed.

"He made Bear King-sama a bit angry. So we crucified him a little."

The guards were scared away by a smelly, yellow fog spraying from his back, but the crew stayed, and covered their noses. "What's this?" Borod glared.

"Devil's gas! One breath, and you'll turn into a powerless lump. Have fun holding your breath!"

"You're kidding me!" Zoro fussed, "We can't just..." He tried to run, but his strength seemed to have been drained. "Luffy!"

The captain sat cross-legged on the ground. "I don't wanna do anything."

"Get a grip!" Zoro yelled.

Usopp and Akees watched from afar, avoiding the noxious gas. Usopp took a deep, nervous breath, and braced himself. "Akees, you said I didn't have the guts to do anything, right? Take a look at this, brat! Behold Usopp, when he does his amazing, cool stunts! Venus-chan needs me!!"

"Usopp!" Akees was shocked when the sniper ran straight in, and shimmied up the pole the stinky villain was perched on. He latched onto his waist, and held on tight.

"Lemme go!"

"Dream on!"

A weakened Borod pushed himself up. "That idiot," He panted.

"Leave this guy to me! Just go!"

Skunk One blasted himself off the pole with the gas. "Now eat that!" As everyone watched, Usopp blocked the tank... with his mouth! As he fought off the horrid taste, he was flailed around aimlessly. His stomach became greatly inflated, due to getting rapidly filled with gas.

"Usopp!" The little boy exclaimed in shock.

"Come, Akees!" Borod ordered, and made a mad dash to the castle.

"But..."

"Don't let his bravery be in vain! Hurry up!" After some hesitation, Akees joined them in their sprint.

-

On the top floor, Skunk One barely managed to make it, before he kicked a bloated Usopp to the floor. He let the gas out from his mouth, as his stomach deflated back to normal. "I can't believe that he's alive."

The girls watched from further inside. "Usopp!" Nami exclaimed.

"Usopp-kun!" Venus followed suit, but more shocked.

Bear King put his hands on their shoulders from behind. "Do you care about him?"

"Of course!" Venus threw him off, as did Nami.

"He's one of us!" Nami added.

"You both should care about me alone," He glared, "Crucify this guy too!"

"Yes, sir!" Skunk One obliged.

Nami grabbed a broom nearby, and began swinging at him, as Venus prepared an attack. "You big, stinky jerk!" Her eye widened when the redhead was quickly outnumbered, losing her weapon. She was pinned down to the floor by her throat. "Nami!"

"What are you doing?" He sneered.

"Don't spoil your dress, m'lady," Bear King picked her up with both hands, "And mind your manners. Skunk One, fetch the little one for me."

"Yes, sir!"

Venus glared when he began to approach her. "Touch him, and you'll regret it," She growled, and launched her energy ball at him. He jumped away to dodge it, only to do it again when she shot another one.

Usopp's exhausted eyes watched, as familiar black sneakers briefly showed themselves under the long, white skirt. "Ve-Venus-chan."

"I won't let him near you!" Venus promised through her attempted battling. Sadly, despite her best efforts, she was outnumbered, and forcefully escorted away. "Usopp-kun!"

-

During their trek up the spiraling staircase, the guys fought off even more guards effortlessly. They made it to a covered bridge, where something caught Luffy's eye. "Look there!" Usopp was crucified, just like Sanji! "Usopp!" They ran up more stairs, and encountered a spiraling pillar behind a grated wall. "What's this?"

"It's the mechanism protecting this island," Borod explained.

"Let's hurry!" Zoro urged.

They continued their sprint, but Akees was knocked to the ground, now unconscious. "Akees!" More guards came, one of them being the culprit. A furious Borod fought them off, and looked over his adoptive brother in concern. "Akees!"

Just then, a grated door closed, blocking off the exit, before the whole tower started to rumble terribly. The floor was rising! It abruptly slowed when the Straw Hats pushed on the ceiling. "What's happening?" Luffy questioned in shock.

"Akees!" Borod ran over to him, as he woke up.

"I'm just dragging you down again," He smiled weakly, and began to drift off again.

"Don't give me that, Akees! We're brothers, remember?"

"It's so heavy!" Luffy exclaimed, as the floor continued rising.

"We can't hold it for long! Borod, you gotta help us!" Borod ignored Zoro, as he lifted Akees off the floor. "What?"

Borod stared daggers at the two, then smiled. "Of all people. You disappoint me." He started shifting away, as Luffy and Zoro struggled. "Seems no one can fight the Card Pirates."

"What?" Luffy watched him in confusion.

"After I took your ship and all."

"You stole our ship?"

"I thought something was fishy," Zoro glared, "So it was you!" Borod jumped off the floor to a safer staircase. "And to think, Venus liked you! She's too good for you!"

"Like I said, I'm not looking for a relationship."

"You used us to get to the Clock!" Zoro exclaimed.

"I'm not after some damn clock."

"What?"

"I just wanted you to defeat these pirates, and save the island."

"B-but why?" Luffy stammered.

"I wanted to return Akees to his parents on this island."

"So this is his..." Zoro concluded.

"His birthplace," Borod finished, "I'm sure of it. Sorry for the trouble. And please take care of Akees, should I die here." Zoro glared during his struggle. "I have to fight them."

"Idiot! You don't stand a chance!"

"I don't care. There's no future if you run away." He glanced at the unconscious boy with a smirk. "Right?" With that, he sprinted up the stairs.

"Borod!" Zoro shouted, but went unnoticed. "He's ready to die. Luffy, can't you do something?"

"I'm afraid not." A door opened to reveal Pin Joker.

"Who are you?" Zoro's eyes widened.

"Long time no see, Roronoa." He pointed to the long, horizontal scar going from the top to the bottom of his face. "I have not forgotten the scar you gave me!"

Zoro sneered, but was confused. "You... who're you?"

"You don't know?" Pin Joker griped.

"Can't remember all the weaklings I've beat."

"Agreed!" Luffy nodded.

"I will teach you that he who walks first, squalls first."

""Falls first"," Zoro corrected.

That made him mad. "Shut up, and die! Featherdarts!"

Luffy braced himself when yellow feather-like darts shot out from the man's sleeve, but to his confusion, he didn't feel anything. At least, other than more weight above his head. To his shock, the swordsman took the full brunt! "Zoro... you...!"

"You lunatic! You almost scared me." He prepared his sword through the pain. "Sorry, Luffy. This won't take long."

Pin Joker chuckled mockingly. "Try it. Skunk's gas, and my poison darts... your body won't move."

"Damn." He went in for the attack, but another door closed, and he was stabbed.

"Zoro!"

He landed on his back in front of the captain. "Time to kick the one who's clown."

"D-down," Zoro stammered, before drifting into unconsciousness.

"Zoro!" Luffy screamed, as he was taken up the elevator, over Pin Joker's shoulder.

fun times at the fair with the bf || ira&&grayson

tl;dr: Ira and Grayson go to the fair, have semi-public sex, win prizes, and agree to move in with each other. Not necessarily in that order.

Ira: Ira heard about the festival while on a delivery run-- he saw the poster for the event and automatically knew that he had to go with Grayson. Get a giant teddy bear from now of those rigged carnival games, kiss him on the top of the ferris wheel...all the cliche, sweet things they hadn't been able to do, what with the level of civic unrest. As usual, Gray was going to come down, pick him up, and drive back up into town, which Ira thought was a bit silly, but the chivalry was nice. He leapt up when he heard the knock on the door, beaming as he pulled it open.

Grayson: Grayson hadn't really stopped to think about anything other than the resistance lately. Of course his boyfriend was always a part of his life, but he hadn't had time to really treat him like a boyfriend as of late, and with this festival, he supposed it was the best chance to change that. "hey cutie." he smiled and leaned in to kiss him, "you ready to go? Are we taking pumpkin?"

Ira: "Hey," he said with a smile, leaning up and kissing him, grabbing his coat off the hook by the door. "Ready as ever. Pumpkin is staying home, I took her on her walk and explained that her two favorite people wanted a couple hours out alone. I set out a bunch of toys and things, I'm gonna leave a few lights on, she'll be fine. Do ou want me to get her so you can say hi?"

Grayson: "Look at you, parent of the year." he pulled him in with one arm around the waist so he could kiss him harder, "that's alright, I don't want her to get too excited before we leave her, that may bum her out." he pulled away and began walking towards the truck, "i'll stop by and say hi when I drop you off." He added while opening the door for Ira. "I bet you'll look really cute with all those fall colors today."

Ira: He grinned and let Grayson pull him in, placing his hands on his boyfriend's broad, perfect chest as he kissed him. "That's fair," he said with a smile, following him over to the truck and hopping into the passenger seat when Gray opened the door for him. "Well, I bet you look cute all the time," Ira said with a little laugh.

Grayson: "Never as cute as you." he winked at him before closing the door and walking around to take his seat, waiting for Ira to have his seat belt on before he drove off. "I don't think I've been to a fair in a very long time. Especially not with a boyfriend, so much pressure to show off now. I know this is the true test of whether or not I'm man enough for you." he joked with a sigh, "regardless of what happens today, please tell Pumpkin she was a good kid."

Ira: "Well, it's a masculinity test for me too! What if I'm bad at akee-ball and I can't win you the teddy bear you want?" Ira asked with a smile, leaning his head back against the seat, looking adoringly at Grayson. "You can tell her yourself, when you come home laden with prizes and toys."

Grayson: "well if you don't win, then it's clearly over. I can't possibly be with a man who can't win me a teddy bear." he laughed and reached out to rest his hand on Ira's thigh, "she'll probably think they're all for her. She has quite the attitude already."

Ira: "Well, maybe we'll get stuck at the top of the ferris wheel and I can kiss you and it'll be all better, yeah?" he said with a smile, resting his hand on top of Grayson's. "Oh, of course she will. She's a spoiled little baby and I love her."

Grayson: smiled, "you two are adorable together. Did you look at my phone?" He gestured towards his phone which rested in between their seats, waiting for Ira to press a button so he could see that Grayson's background was actually a photo of Ira and pumpkin together. "just in case I don't get to see you guys."

Ira: "No..." he said, smiling as he picked up the phone, pressing the home button and 'aww'ing loudly, covering his mouth with his free hand. He leaned over and pressed a little kiss to his boyfriend's cheek. "That's so sweet, babe...You're my background too--" he said with a laugh, pulling his phone out and showing him the photo he got of Grayson building the camp in the woods, shirt off and carrying several things hefted up on his shoulder.

Grayson: "that one is significantly more inappropriate." he laughed, "change that before I have one of your employees snickering about it later."

Ira: "Mm...no," he said with a delighted little smile. "You look so handsome! I had that one morning selfie you took and sent to me as the one before, when your hair was all messed up and you were all squinty."

Grayson: "I'll stop sending pictures or taking my shirt of then, got it." he laughed and pulled up to the festival, paying for parking and then driving through until he found a spot. "alright, come on, I gotta feed you so you're happy even if i lose the games."

Ira: "No, I need them," Ira said with an exaggerated pout. "They get me through the cold, lonely nights when you're not with me." He grinned as Grayson parked the car, hopping out and closing the door, hearing the carnival music coming from the fairgrounds and smiling happily. "Mm, yes. Funnel cake, please!”

Grayson: "Just call me when you need me. You know my baby should have no lonely nights." he pulled him in for a big kiss, both arms wrapped around the ginger as he got his fix before heading to the fair, "you don't want a krispy kreme burger?"

Ira: Ira kissed him with a smile, lacing their fingers together and swinging their arms as they headed into the fairgrounds, already ridiculously excited. "Oh, you mean cardiac arrest in a meal worth your entire daily calorie count? Mm....maaaybe later."

Grayson: Grayson lifted Ira's hand to give it a kiss before letting it go, "let's just keep the PDA to a minimum please. You never know who's watching." he said with a small smile as he walked towards the food vendors, "alright, I'll get you a super healthy funnel cake."

Ira: Ira let go of Grayson's hand reluctantly, though he understood why he would rather not. Especially since this festival was being thrown courtesy of Bellamy McNamara, though of course Gray didn't know that. "I mean...funnel cake doesn't have to be healthy, but I do want strawberries on it," he decided.

Grayson: "of course you do, they match your hair." he went up to the counter, ordering a funnel cake for Ira and a churro for himself. "here you go, my love. " he handed him the funnel cake and took a bite out of his churro, "wanna hit the games first? While you eat"

Ira: Ira blushed at the other's sweet little term of endearment, taking the funnel cake and grabbing a plastic fork from the tin in front of the cart. "Mmhm! Do I get to watch you win me some fancy stuff?"

Grayson: "Sure. Or beat up some game attendants until they give me the plush for free." He took another bite from his churro and going to win some game tickets, "I have a pretty good arm I think so why don't we try that one." he pointed a baseball-like game where he had to hit certain moving target. HE was able to hit 3 out of 5 and get Ira a medium-sized squirrel plush. "look at that. I am the man!"

Ira: "No," Ira chided softly, "Don't beat anyone up, silly." He cheered him on like a good boyfriend as Gray hit three of the targets, though occasionally he was cheering through a full mouth, since he was trying to also eat his funnel cake at the same time, which was...not the cutest, but oh well. "You are the /man/, baby," Ira said with a delighted smile, taking the squirrel plush and giving it a kiss on the head.

Grayson: "Pumpkin is definitely stealing that one from you." he laughed, wishing he could lean in and kiss Ira but knowing that a place like this was the last place he needed to be showing affection to anybody. "what should we do next? Wanna show me your skeetball skills?"

Ira: "She'll have teeth marks in it by dawn," Ira agreed, almost instinctively leaning up for a kiss before taking a step back, biting down on his bottom lip. "I can try if you hold my funnel cake!"

Grayson: "alright, I may eat it but that's okay. You love me." HE walked over to the game, standing in front of it as he took the funnel cake and stole a bite out of it. "oh man, these strawberries /are/ good." he said with a mouthful as he watched Ira, "come on baby. I want the giant donut."

Ira: "You paid for it, you can eat it," Ira said with a smile, paying for the skeeball and doing, well, fairly poorly. Ira was not a master at these sorts of things, which were all rigged anyway, so in five shots he made one into the 10-point level and one into the 50, mostly by sheer luck. All in all, he won a little plastic dinosaur ring, which he gleefully slid onto Grayson's pinky finger. "Tara!"

Grayson: Grayson gasped in surprise, "did you just propose without getting down on one knee? unacceptable. My answer is no!" he teased and fed Ira a bite of funnel cake, "let's go to the ferris wheel, I want to make out with you." Ira: Ira accepted the bite of funnel cake, trying to chew and not laugh, because laughing with funnel cake in his mouth would be supremely uncute. "Yes please," he said with a smile as they headed over to the ferris wheel, eager to look out over Aisling from the top of the carnival.

Grayson: Grayson naturally helped Ira into his little pod before they closed the door and began spinning. "so." he said throwing an arm around Ira's shoulder and leaning in to kiss the other's neck, "I'm sorry I've been so busy lately. I've missed you."

Ira: "It's okay," Ira said softly, leaning into the other's touch with a soft smile, resting his hand on his boyfriend's thigh. "I know you've got a lot going on. And I've missed you too. Texting isn't the same!"

Grayson: "It's not, I know. I'll to drop by more often if I can. Maybe we can promise to do dinner at least once a week?" he slipped his hand under Ira's shirt, holding onto his side. "let me see if you taste like strawberries."

Ira: "At least once a week," Ira agreed, kissing him again, gently, as Gray slid his hand under his shirt. He blushed, just barely visible in the ferris wheel carriage, at the idea of being indecent like this in public, even if they were in a little enclosed space. It just...it felt rather daring.

Grayson: Grayson slipped his tongue inside the other's mouth, deepening the kiss as he began to lower his hand, closer to Ira's waistband. "You think I can give you a blow job before we stop the ride?"

Ira: Ira made a small, sweet little noise into the kiss, responding eagerly, though his blush grew far more prominent the further south Grayson's hands traveled. "Fuck-- uh-- I mean, it's a terrible, cheap carnival ride, it'll likely-- likely break down at one point while we're on it, that gives us...time," Ira said breathily, kissing him again.

Grayson: Grayson chuckled, undoing Ira's pants so that he could slip his hand inside the front of his crotch, "well we don't have to if you don't want to." he rubbed Ira's dick through his briefs, "really don't want to inconvenience you."

Ira: Ira practically mewled at the touch, feeling himself getting hot under the collar and hard in Grayson's hand. "If you stop now, mister, I am revoking your visitation rights to Pumpkin," Ira threatened, words muffled as he was simultaneously mouthing at his boyfriend's neck.

Grayson: Grayson gasped, "my little fluff ball? you wouldn't dare!" he bit Ira's lower lip, making his way under the briefs and finally getting a hold of Ira's cock as he began to slowly stroke. "she'd resent you forever."

Ira: "She told me you're only her second favorite person," Ira said, thighs tensing as Gray snuck his hand into his briefs, getting himself together for long enough to fumble at the button of that other man's jeans to return the favor. "She'd get over it, I'm sure," he gasped out, as he felt the rough slide of skin-to skin contact.

Grayson: "you're cruel. I'm bringing her home with me until I become her favorite." he continue to stroke him, his own dick beginning to twitch in excitement as Ira reached down. "god I'm so lucky."

Ira: "No...she's my puppy, remember? That's what you said," he mumbled, finally freeing Grayson's dick and quickly thumbing over the head, enjoying the feeling of it stiffening in his hand. "Nngh...baby..."

Grayson: "shh, but you're mine so she's mine." Grayson sucked in a breath the moment he felt Ira's hand, instantly forgetting where they were or why they shouldn't be doing this. All he cared about was stroking Ira and kissing him with the occassional moan in between.

Ira: The ferris wheel lurched into motion once more, and Ira, who had almost successfully forgotten that they were in public, squeaked slightly as the ride pushed him into Grayson, cheeks red and squirming under his touch, stroking along the other's cock with a newfound determination.

Grayson: Grayson's next point of interest was Ira's sweet neck, which he sucked and bit until a light bruise made its way to the surface. Sure, maybe not the most discrete show of affection--but Ira worked himself, it wasn't like he'd have the need to really hide it from anyone. "how close are you, baby?"

Ira: "I-- I'm close," he said softly, already rather sensitive and squirmy as Grayson stroked him off, doing his best to give Gray the best handjob he could despite being so distracted. The press of the other's lips on his neck was also throwing a wrench into things. The clear mark of possession Grayson was leaving on him was hot beyond /words./

Grayson: licked along the side of Ira's neck, right where the bruise was forming as he tightened his grip and stroke a little faster, helping him get over the edge while he too was distracted. "I love you."

Ira: "Fuck, I love you too," Ira gasped out, rather loudly (probably loud enough for everyone in the next few cars to hear), and with a small moan of Grayson's name, he came, hand stilling on his boyfriend's cock for a moment.

Grayson: With Ira spilling over onto his hand, it only took a few strokes for him to join him. A groan onto Ira's mouth before he took it hungrily and kissed him hard. "tell me how I managed to hit the lottery with you?"

Ira: Ira kissed him back eagerly, and as he pulled away he lifted his hand to his mouth, gently kitten-licking Grayson's cum off of his fingers. It wasn't as though he was going to wipe it on his shirt, or anything, this was probably the best option. He blushed as the other asked his sappy question, shrugging. "I was gonna ask you the same thing."

Grayson: Grayson chuckled, beads of sweat on his face as he followed suit and helped Ira clean up. "once this whole urchin thing passes, why don't we rent a place somewhere and spend the weekend together? Just you and me 24 hours."

Ira: Ira smiled at Grayson with his soft, love-drunk brown eyes, nodding. "Yeah. I'd love that. Just-- get an airbnb somewhere and take a day off."

Grayson: "mhm." Grayson zipped Ira up, giving him a small kiss on the cheek before zipping himself up. "we'll leave pumpkin at a pet hotel or something. Tell her I have to steal all of daddy's time."

Ira: "She won't mind a pet hotel, I don't think," he said, using his clean hand to fix Grayson's shirt a bit, knowing that his hickey was not something that could be hidden by the time they got out of the ferris wheel. He leaned up to steal another kiss, smiling. "Sometime when you have a break. Maybe in the winter, when I don't have anything to do. Or-- maybe this fall. I dunno. I just..I want to be with you all of the time," he admitted softly.

Grayson: Grayson reached out to hold the side of Ira's face, "you know that's what I want too. I want to be with you as much as I can, you're the only thing in this whole damn city that gives me hope."

Ira: Ira rested his cheek in Grayson's palm, smiling gently and reaching up to cup the other's hand with his own. "Move in with me."

Grayson: was caught off guard, pausing for a moment before speaking. "you want me to move in with you?"

Ira: "Yeah," Ira said shyly, just as the ferris wheel paused and their carriage was sitting so that they could see all of Aisling, stretched out and shimmering in the night. "I-- really do. I'll get a bigger bed, I'll buy more drawers for your stuff, I-- I love you, and I want to be with you, and I want to come home to you."

Grayson: Grayson smiled, pulling Ira in for a big kiss. "how can you love me so fast? You don't know much about me, you could regret that quickly."

Ira: "I know enough about you to love you," Ira said, kissing him back eagerly. "If I regret it, I regret it, so what? The world is crazy right now and-- and I want to share this crazy world with you, right now, because you make me feel safe, and happy, and I can't think of anyone I’d rather spend my time with."

Grayson: wasn't sure why, but his instinct was to pull Ira into a tight hug, holding him close and inhaling his scent. "you're too good for this world. and you know I can't say no even if my first instinct is to do that. I need to protect you, and although living with you migh be the worst idea for your safety, it may be the only way for me to keep you safe."

Ira: Ira wrapped his arms tightly around his boyfriend, pressing his face into the crook of his neck and breathing in for a moment, smiling softly. "So...so you will? Move in, I mean?" he asked, voice muffled slightly against the other's shoulder.

Grayson: "Only if you get that bed. I'm very picky about my sleeping habits." He joked, kissing the top of his head as they reached the bottom and were instructed to climb down, Grayson going first before helping Ira down. "come here my little strawberry," he held out his hand, "let me win you the biggest plush toy there is before I take you home to celebrate."

Ira: "We can swap my mattress for yours, how does that sound?" Ira laughed at the nickname, taking his hand and getting down from the carriage, trying his very best not to look freshly sexed-up, though the dark hickey blooming on his neck seemed evidence enough. "That sounds like the perfect way to finish off the night.”

Grayson: It took a while to spot the perfect game, but Grayson settled for a target and bucket game that promised to be difficult but doable. Every try was 2 balls, and it took him til the third one to nail both balls and win the grand prize--the perfect teddy bear. Grabbing it, he turned to Ira, "you sure you can carry it?"

Ira: Ira was absolutely awestruck when Gray won him the giant teddy bear-- honestly, that thing was massive, he wasn't sure if he would be able to properly wrap his arms around it. It might not even fit in the car with them. "I can do it," he said, a determined look on his face as he made grabby hands for it, grinning.

Grayson: Grayson laughed and handed it over, letting go of inhibitions for a second as he accompanied with a kiss on the lips. "we might need to get it its own bed, but i guess so long as you're happy." he smiled and pulled away, "come on, you have a new roommate to impress."

Ira: Ira took the bear and the kiss with unrepentant delight, the squirrel plush safely tucked under his arm as they made their way back towards the parking lot. "I think Pumpkin might like to use mister bear here as her bed. He has a nice soft belly for her to lie on."

Grayson: "you're probably right." He couldn't help but to keep his eyes on Ira, so bright and full of life, there was nothing that could ever take this from him. Grayson would protect him with his life if he had to. That much he knew.
