[Guess who is watching you sleep.

No really guess.

It's actually kind of weird.]

I'd think it was their own damn business and not hit them where it hurts just to be a dick.

[ace_of_hearts]

[Ugh. Yeah no, he's not ever going to forgive himself. It's always been a mess, always will, no way to fix it. He'd run away and end it but he already tried and what the fuck ever. He's so screwed up, and he doesn't even know what to do or say about it.]

It's not Zoro's fault Smoker, stop taking it out on him.

And thanks Zoro, but it's my choice to be here. I've got it.

[whitehunter]

Che.

[ He's not going to explain himself to Zoro. And yeah that's a look at Ace too. Just shaking his head and works on his belt. shit i under estimated how pissed he is. ]

[waywardswords]

Tch. [As if he has any right to be pissed. But it's not like Zoro's going to get between this. This is why he hates this shit.]

Fine.

[But if Ace gets hurt he's hunting that bastard down]

[ace_of_hearts]

[Relieved sigh and pinches the bridge between his eyes.]

Sorry Smoker. I'll make it up to you. Promise.

Zoro. [Gestures his head to the door.] You wanted to talk, right?

[waywardswords]

No.

[Zoro's not about to make it worse. He can deal with it himself]

[ace_of_hearts]

[Drags a palm down his face.] I'm already kicked out indefinitely so you might as well give me a distraction. One that doesn't leave room for me to be a dumbass because apparently only Smoker gets that.

[waywardswords]

Shut up. It's not all on you and it's not all about you either. If you don't like it stop going back to that guy. If you do find a way so that it doesn't hurt.

[ace_of_hearts]

[Grits his teeth hard and punches Zoro in the face.]

Do you think I don't know that?! I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to. I wouldn't do something that frustrates my family this fucking much just on a fucking whim okay?! I'm plenty fucked up Roronoa, but I'm not disloyal.

2/2

[ace_of_hearts]

At least. Not intentionally.

[Fuck it. He just scowls and starts storming off.]

[waywardswords]

[he staggers a bit and wipes the blood from his lip]

Then leave me alone, Portgas.

[That should take some pressure off at least. But this...

this is why he's a swordsman. Just a swordsman.

All he does is cut things]

[ace_of_hearts]

[His eyes widen and he stops dead, turning back to look at Zoro with a purely hurt expression and shakes his head.]

No.

Not until you stop --

2/2

[ace_of_hearts]

[Shakes his head and quickly hides under the brim of his hat.]

Find someone else. Find someone else and be happy, and I'll back as far away as you could ever want. But not until then. [Looks up, just as sadly as before.] I can't take it otherwise.

1/2

[waywardswords]

[He can't stand the hurt look but he doesn't know how to fix it other than to make it hurt more. Maybe he's not that much different than the marine bastard]

I'm fine just how I am. It's not up to you to make me happy.

2/2

[waywardswords]

...but thank you.

[ace_of_hearts]

[He was about to punch him... until the thank you so his eyes just soften.]

Don't tell me you're fine when you're not. Maybe you really believe it, but I know you can do better.

[He rubs the back of his own neck and glances off.] Look, I know I'm pretty fucked up and everything. And it's not that I want it to stay that messed up...

But sometimes that's the best I can do. Sorry. And believe it or not... Smoker does get that. He just has his own problems too, you know?

[waywardswords]

Yeah. Everyone has their own circumstances.
[He sighs]

But I'm not the kind of guy who can keep going with things knowing how...other things are going to turn out.

[He reaches over and ruffles his hair]

Worry about yourself more, idiot.

[ace_of_hearts]

I can't.

I don't know how to. [Worry about himself he means.]

[waywardswords]

Then let me worry about you for you.

[it's the most he can do really]

[ace_of_hearts]

[Slings an arm around Zoro's shoulders and pokes his cheek.] Believe me, that's why I have so many nakama and Smoker. But someone needs to worry more about you since you don't do it enough.

[waywardswords]

I'm fine. I don't need that kind of thing.

[He wasn't a dumbass who needed worrying about]

[ace_of_hearts]

Everyone needs someone to worry about them Zoro. And if they don't do it for themselves, other people will. I learned that ages ago. [Pokes more.]

[waywardswords]

I don't.

[bites his finger]

Seriously. I'm fine.

[ace_of_hearts]

No, you're not. And the more you say that the more mad I get.

[waywardswords]

I am.

[And he bites a little harder]

Just leave it.
