火災

                                           I’m just DREAMIN’ of TEARING YOU APART.

She looked up at him in amusement, cheek resting in her hand. She opened her mouth to reply, but was interrupted by the chorus of oohs and ahs. What the hell was their problem? Was she missing something here?

Realizing that there was now a bunch of eyes on their conversation, she felt her face growing hot, “Ah, well, I mean- I just extorted you for jerky. Don’t thank me.”

〖☠〗-- “Yeah, well..” He stood with his hands on his hips while at arms length from her. “..no big deal. I can always get more from the galley or make my own.” He tipped his hat down, partly hiding his face as he spoke.

“   is it truly that hard for you to move or are you intent on dying that badly ? let me tell you right now it ain’t worth it   ”  that being said taking another step forward with a hand out smoldering black.

“   move  ” 

She watched him run off, the distinct sounds of yelling and crashing reaching her ears soon after. As odd as it may seem, it was moments like these that brought warmth and happiness to her heart. It solidified that she had made the right choice, staying and becoming part of this crew.

It was all thanks to Ace too. Though they argued, teased, and poked one another, mostly due to Akane starting it, she valued him a lot. Perhaps too much in fact, which led to her treatment of him. A barrier? A front? Don’t ask her. She was oblivious.

〖☠〗-- With his hat back in his possession, he grumbled to himself. Passing Akane, he stopped to give her a flustered huff. “Thanks.” Hearing the crewmates make soft ‘ooh’s, he quickly looked back to glare daggers. Damn idiots teasing him. He had enough of it from Luffy growing up.

today has just been people getting on his nerves, this was no exception from that rule in fact it might had been the one last nerve.

“   you might be the one on fire you don’t get out of my way   ”  an attempt of a smile though a bit too obviously faking the hospitality.

Her smirk turned into a full blown grin as he pulled out the jerky from his little stash of snacks. She presented her palm for the packets to be placed on, extremely satisfied with herself.

She opened one, pulling out a piece of beef to begin eating it in front of the commander. “It seems that some members in your division felt you were due for a prank.” She eyed him, eyes sparking with amusement. She got what she wanted so she had no reason to shield the crewmates from retribution. “Not sure where they took it off to, though.” 

〖☠〗-- They did WHAT? He stared blankly before turning to look behind him. He glared, seeing a few crewmates running for their lives with hat in hand. “..Despite taking my snacks, thank you for the WELL of information.” It took all of five seconds for him to stomp off after them with heated heels.

So, One Piece pals.. I’m in a bit of a predicament. A few weeks ago, I was fired over my mental health (currently trying to get a handle on that situation as I was informed that it was highly illegal to do so) and rent is due soon.. My final paycheck was only a fraction of what I will owe..

In total, I have 265 out of the 800 that I need for my rent.. and I have no gas in my car to even get to a job interview I have in the morning..

If anyone can help me out by donating to [email protected] on paypal. I’d appreciate it..

My apartment complex is no longer accepting low-income folks and will evict me to the streets if I don’t have the money by midnight on October 5th. I don’t want to lose my only home.. and I hope to get a donation pool together to buy a small house so I won’t have to worry about evictions.. I need to find a new place before December when my lease is up as they’ll jump my rent up to 900 a month.

Please. Help me.

Thanks to a few donations, I’m currently $300 short of making rent.. If you guys can keep it up, I’d REALLY appreciate it.. free promo graphics (gifs or hand drawn or edited) for those who come forward with their URLs.

“I didn’t say anything.” She replied, amused at how bothered he looked by the little comment. There were certainly far less hygienic men on board. Ace didn’t even come close. It was just fun to tease him. It made her finally understand why so many people enjoyed riling her up too. 

The reaction was cute. Wait, did she just use the word cute? Shit.

“Three packs of jerky.” She held up three fingers, wiggling them around. “In exchange for the location of your hat.”

〖☠〗-- “Three packs o--oh, come on.” Really? Was she serious? He groaned, moving to check his back pocket. He kept a few packs in there for a snack here and there. If it wasn’t someone else hustling him, it was his damn crewmates.

“Here.” He held out three packs, knowing she’d probably just say something else and walk off. He’d find his hat one way or another. It wasn’t like she’d wear it or anything.. well, it WOULD look good on her--wait. Hold up. Okay, yeah, it was a nice thought. Oh, well. He’d let that thought come back later.

She had to wonder if he really hadn’t done anything. If that’s the case then it would seem that the second division members she saw with his hat were simply playing a little prank on their commander.

“Oooh, Ace taking a bath. It’s a miracle. One for the books.” She teased, crossing her arms as she tilted back in her chair. “Y’know information isn’t free, my friend.”

〖☠〗-- “Are you sayin’ I smell or something?” He seemed so offended. Hands on his hips, the commander grit his teeth. Why the hell would he NOT take regular baths? Sure, it made him tired, but.. ugh. Ace shifted his weight from one leg to the other while sighing.

@hiiken​ sent: “Akane, have you seen my hat?” He scratches his head, looking around. “I can’t find it anywhere.”

Had she perhaps caught sight of his hat being whisked away by some of their crewmates? Maybe. “Depends. Have you pissed anyone off lately and deserve it?”

I am in the US.. but I can't get into the unemployment office. As soon as I get to the office, there's a line from the door all the way to the highway of people.. and even then, there's no guarantee they'd see me...

Of course it was him who had been lurking… He couldn’t say for sure, but… there was something about the hooded man that spoke to him. That had to be someone really, really, really important! He had been trying to get a peek at his face to know for sure…

The rooster stepped out. “I ain’t sneakin’ to attack you. Not this time! I don’t think you’re someone I wanna attack at all!”

That man’s voice… he swore…

“A-Are you F-F-Fire F-Fist Ace?!?!”

〖☠〗-- He audibly flinched, jumping up and nearly dropping his meal. “SHH! Are you serious..!? Keep your voice down!” There was no telling who else could be around. Ace looked left and right, thankful that they were practically alone. Being in hiding was one thing, but having someone freak out and call out your name wasn’t the safest idea. He kept his voice down, but it still carried that peeved off note.

“Are you seriously out of your damn mind? If someone comes by and hears you, I’m done for. Got it?” He had half a mind to go over and shove the steak he was eating in the others mouth to shut him up... but that would be a waste of a perfectly juicy steak. “I take it you’re not an enemy if you’re freaking out like this.” In his haste, he neglected to pay attention to his still aching body. It had only been a few months since his escape and he was still in critical condition.
