Life is good.

I woke up at the sound of Lexy's alarm. Even though this room has already become mine, why does he still keep his alarm here? I am too comfortable. I don't want to get up. Let's just stay in bed today. I'm a crown prince, I should be allowed to be lazy for a day, should not I? I feel her body shifted beside me. I extend my hand to reach and pull her closer to me.

Kii, I found, is a cuddler. She likes to put her hand around me or have my hand around her. I can feel her steady breath brushing my side and her soft breast touching me. The images of last night come back to me. Of how her body felt under me. How she writhed in pleasure. How she called my name and begged me to please don't stop. Ah, I have morning wood. Damn me! That's what you get for being a pervert, Ace. And now I am talking to myself. What do I do? I can't just let it stay like that. I can't touch myself either. Or go to the bathroom to take care of it. Kii's hand is around my body I don't want to wake her up. Not after... Ahhhh, and that was Kii's leg accidentally brushed it. Kii, are you torturing me right now?

I open my eyes to look at her. I find her blinking her eyes sleepily, seem like she is also startled by the contact. I wake her up after all. She then looks up at me.

"good morning, Ace-kun" she smiles at me.

"morning, kii" I smile too. She is beautiful even after she just woke up. Her bed hair is also cute.

"what is this?" she nudges mine again.

"Kii... Don't do that if you won't take responsibility" I groan. She is torturing me. I'm sure now. Was I too hard on her last night? Well, it was my first so I should be forgiven, shouldn't I?

"Responsibility? What kind of responsibility should I take?" she giggles.

"Kii, don't tease me. I'm dying here"

"you're not. Don't be silly Ace-kun"

"Hey! Don't call your Crown Prince silly" I mock offended.

"ah... I beg your forgiveness, your highness" she said back with an exaggerate polite tone.

"now, either help me or let me take care of it there," I say pointing to the bathroom.

"how do you wish me to help, your highness?" she said with a teasing tone. Ah, I've corrupted her.

"well, you can start by giving me a kiss," I say pulling her body on top of me.

"wait, I haven't brush my teeth yet," she said putting both her hands on my chest.

"Kii, I honestly don't care about that," I said while pulling her again. She didn't stop me this time.

I got harder as she responding to my kiss. We stop for the lack of air, then kiss again and again. My hands caressing her back tenderly.

"that is okay?" she asks breathlessly.

"need more," I tell her

"more? But I don't know what to do" she tells me softly.

"allow me," I say

"please" she replies.

So I switched our position.

"tell me if you want me to stop," I say while kissing her neck.

"please go on," she says as I feel her breath quicken.

So I did. She moans as I kiss her breast. Her body bulked up when I touch her other breast.

"Ace-kun..." she calls breathlessly.

I kiss her other breast upward to her neck and her lips again. I rub mine on her entrance. She seems to like it as her grips on my back tighten because of it. I feel her getting wetter and wetter. I grunt as she moans my name again. Darn, it's so good. I'm not even inside her yet but it's already this good. Kii's movement is synced with mine. I'm afraid I can't last much longer.

"Ace-kun... You..." I hear kii's voice said indistinctly

I paused on kissing her body to look at her inquiringly.

Kii's face is red and sweating. Her eyes clouded by pleasure. Hand reaching for my hair, she said "need you now"

I groaned. That was the best words I heard today. I put my hand on her belly and whispered the spell. It's to avoid her from getting pregnant. Every Royal family members have been taught that spell from early ages. Not that I don't want to have babies with her but Kii is still young. I've already burdened her by this, I don't add more to her burden.

I positioned myself on her entrance and push slowly. Kii's nails digging into my back. I gave her a butterfly kiss to help her ease the pain.

"is it okay for me to move?" I ask her as I finally fully entered her.

"yes" she whispered to my ear

I move slowly at first to give her chance getting used to the feeling. I love hearing her moan, urges me to go faster. We timed our movement to meet at each thrust. It feels so good. She is gorgeous. The sweats on her forehead, on her brows, makes her look so alluring. She is perfect. I'm the luckiest person in the world to be loved by her. We move faster and faster. I can see that she is already close. I hold her tight to my body as I feel I'm getting close myself. She bites my shoulder to stop herself from shouting as she comes. I thrust into her a few more time as I soon followed her, whispering her name to her ear.

We lay there as we catch our breath. It's amazing. It's good. I feel so good. I kiss her neck again.

"you okay? Was I too much?" I ask her between breaths.

"it's amazing" she answers, hand caressing my hair.

"thank you," I said.

"Uh-huh," she replied.

"I don't want to get up" I sigh

"Arren Nii-Sama will worry if he didn't see you till afternoon,"

"you're right. He will be looking for me"

"Uh-huh, we need to get cleaned and then get ready soon"

"are you sure we can't just stay in bed today? Just for today?" I look at her with a puppy dog eyes that I learned from Luffy.

"I'm sure," she said, hand move to cover my face. I kissed it.

"Alright, alright, let's get cleaned Bunny bee" I laugh and climb off the bed

"bunny bee?" she questioned. Still laughing even as I carry her to the bathroom.

Shower sex is something I never imagined I would have. But damn! The face that she made, as I pound her against the bathroom's wall, is the sight that I'll never forget.

I insisted that she take a rest today. She doesn't want to skip a whole day but agrees to take morning left. I promise to inform the teacher for her and to pick her up if she has yet to show up in the afternoon. Sigh, today is the best day in my life so far. Nah, I take that back, meeting Kii is the best day of my life. She is perfect and amazing and beautiful and perfect and cute. Have I mentioned perfect?

I love every part of her. Her silky hair, her smooth skin, her flawless body, her cute smile, her adorable expressions, her curiosity, her braveness to face things that scare her, her acceptance of something new in her life. I love it. I love her. I love her smile, her shyness, her braveness, her kiss, her body under me... wait for what? Stop! Don't go there. But her face was when I did that, she was... No! No! No! Ace, you pervert! Stop before you got a boner (again) in the hallway. I bang my head against the wall to clear up dirties thought from my mind. I can't stop thinking about it. Thatch was right. It's amazing. Too amazing. After you know the feeling, you can't help but want to taste it again and again. Especially if your lover is as cute as Kii. I've come to the point of not wanting any other woman but her. Damn! What was Thatch called it again? Oh! I remember! I'm so whipped!

"Ahem!"

A voice of somebody clearing their throat suddenly heard by me who was still banging my head to the wall. When I glanced at the voice, Rhuifen was looking at me weirdly. Ah, it can't be that awkward to see a Crown Prince bangs his head to the wall, can it?

"Yes?" I cautiously call him

"Are you well, Prince Arzen?" He asks me with a worried tone, he still looks at me weirdly though.

"Don't mind me?" I tell him with a charming smile

"but you were..."

"I'm absolutely in great health both in body and mind, I assure you," I tell him again with a conviction. I don't want a prince of other country thinks that the Crown Prince from this kingdom is mad after all. It will leave a bad impression on Nii-Sama and King Father.

"I see. Are you coming to the council's room?" he asked again

"Yes, I need to talk to Nii-Sama," I told him. I'm glad he decides to change the subject.

"would you mind if I walk with you? I'm also on my way there" he says

I shrugged "feel free," I say to him.

It would be a comfortable journey had that pink thing was not showing up on the way. She was acting obnoxious. She even dares to spill soup on my uniform jacket and took it with her.

"I'm so sorry, Arzen-sama. Please allow me to clean it for you." I told her it's okay and she doesn't need to do it. She ignored me and just continue talking. Rude! I tell you, it's rude! I'm a Crown Prince, how can she ignored me and just do what she wants?

"I was so worried about what happened to Arzen-sama a few days ago. I took the liberty to make a herbal soup to help Arzen-sama's health recovery." I'm going to tell her I don't want it but she keeps talking. Doesn't this thing know to read the situation? Who even want to eat anything she cooks? Definitely not me!

"When I saw Arzen-sama walking along with Rhuifen-sama in good health, I was so happy that I don't notice my surroundings." she looked up at me shyly in the end.

I told her again that it's okay and she doesn't need to bother with the dirt in my uniform. I don't even want it to be touched by her but she insisted and with the help of Rhuifen there went my jacket. She took it with a blush and a promise to give it back to me soon. Ah, I'll need to burn it when I got it back. I look at it sadly as she went with it.

"She is such a nice and caring girl, don't you think? A bit too naive for her own good but she really has a kind soul" Rhuifen said with a sappy smile as he looked at her retreating from

Excuse me? Are you sure you're okay, man? What part of her attitudes is naive? And kind soul? Are you joking? I look at him open-mouthed. He needs his eyes to get checked. Or maybe it is his brain that got problems? If anything she was like an actress with poor acting skills. Plus she was a bother wherever sides you see how she acts. I shake my head to dispose of the incredulous moment that just happened.

We continue on our way. There was no one in the room when we reach there. I hope Nii-Sama wasn't out looking for me. We decided to serve ourselves cups of tea while waiting for Nii-Sama.

"Is Kii, ahem, is Lady Wallace alright? I heard she was hospitalized because of the accident?" Rhuifen starts a conversation again

Did he say Kii, didn't he? I took off my stained tie and put it on the chair to my side.

"Hmm, Kii is fine. She has recovered. She just taking a rest this morning because she was still tired" I answer him absentmindedly.

"tired? So she is not fully recovered yet then?"

"no, no, there is nothing wrong with her health anymore"

"I apologize, I must be misheard it, I thought you were saying that she was resting because she was still tired," he said with a tint of worry in his tone.

"you're not misheard," I told him. Why did he so worry about Kii anyway? Is he just a nice guy? Hmm, I need to keep an eye on him. No one in this world will worry about someone else without reason.

"so she has fully recovered?"

"she has"

"but she still needs to take a rest?"

"because she was still tired"

"I'm not a doctor but if her body is still feeling tired and she still needs to take a rest. Doesn't mean that she hasn't fully recovered yet?"

"Nah, she was tired because of something else. Her body was fully recovered from the fatigue that caused by the accident."

"oh? may I know what it might be?"

"well, I can't possibly tell you that..."

He opened his mouth to ask again but was cut by the sounds of the door opened. We look in unison at the door. There was Aoi, face grim strolling to our direction and immediately hurling me by the collar. What? Wait a minute?

"where is Kii?" he snarled. "She said she wants to see you. I went to look for you. You weren't in your room. When I got back, Kii wasn't there anymore. She wasn't in her room either. She never comes back! I looked for her everywhere. Where is she?" He tightens his grips on my collar.

Rhuifen is looking worriedly at us but didn't move to interfere. The door opened again, Nii-Sama and Kii are walking inside. I was about to point that out to Aoi when his voice heard again.

"What is this?" he asked chillingly.

What is what? My brain asks. Aoi face is thunderous. He was looking at my shoulder. Precisely, he was looking at the place that Kii bit last night. Uh, oh. He seems to freeze up. His grips slacken. I step back. I feel bad for him but right now is not the right time to face him. I take a step back again. I move slowly to Kii's and Nii-Sama' direction.

"Kii..." I said. She turns her questioning gaze from Aoi to tilt her head at me.

"Run!" I said

"Eh?" she said as I took her hand to run away from there.

"wha, wait, Arzen! what is happening here?" Nii-Sama's voice faintly heard. It was drowned by Aoi's voice.

"Arzeeeennn!" he shouted

I run faster at that.

"So, we're hiding" Kii stated.

"we're hiding" I confirmed.

"why are we hiding?" she asked.

"Aoi is out to kill me"

"Aoi-nii is?"

"he is"

"why?"

"he saw it"

"saw what? You're being vague, Ace-kun"

"my shoulder and what was on it," I told her. I can see that she was confused before her ear turns red from my position behind her. I'm sure her face is also red. I smile.

"I, I see. Guess I need to talk to Aoi-nii soon"

"can you convince him not to kill me?"

"Ace-kun, he won't kill you"

"you will never know"

"he won't"

"he was worry about you. Because you didn't come back last night"

"Oh, that'd explain it then"

"No, that does not explain why you both are hiding in my office." Lexy's voice cut my answer.

We're sitting in Lexy's sofa with Kii sat on my lap and me hugging her. Lexy came here to be my bodyguard and personal instructor. He was given an office and a room (which is now mine)as a special favour for a Crown Prince. King father was worry about me because I don't have close aides on my side and I don't trust people. As to why I trade my room with him, my room is just too large for me to sleep in it. It makes me miss Sabo and Luffy a lot. It was also located in the ugliest building in the dorm. The building reminds me of the houses of nobles from high town so it was really unpleasant for me to be there. Lexy's room though, it was located near the forest and has a comfortable atmosphere. It feels like home. He agreed to trade after he lost to me in a poker game. 7 times in a row. Only Kii, Lexy and I know about the trade. Guess, Nii-Sama also know now.

"you told Nii-Sama we trade room," I said instead of answering him

"Prince Arren was worry about Ace-sama. I can't possibly leave him alone while I might have an idea where Ace-sama is" he answers

We will bickers as usual if Kii is not stopping us.

"Lexy-san is good at drawing, right?" she asks

"I can't say I'm good. But I do know how to draw" Lexy answered. He looks confused. So do I.

"what is this about Kii? I asked her

"I would like Lexy-san to draw the boy. Is that okay?" Kii asks glanced at me.

"Hmm, he can try," I said.

"help me describe him to Lexy-san, Ace-kun" she smiled.

"what boy?" Lexy inquired.

So we describe how I (the boy) look. Kii requested him, me, to be drawn with a smile on him, me. Man, this is confusing. So, I describe myself to Lexy. I gave him a cool pose to draw also, of course. If Portgas D Ace is going to be painted, he, I would want to be painted as cool as possible. He agrees with a promise that we will get out of his office as soon as he finished the picture. I move to peek behind him as Kii serves tea for us. Well, Lexy is a good painter. I look cool in the picture.

We move to seat on the tea table. I thank Kii for the tea and took a sip.

"it's done. Is he look like this?" Lexy passed the picture to Kii.

"Yes, he is. Look Ace-kun. He looks so cool. Can I have him?" Kii said happily.

I was to busy choking on my tea to answer her. Lexy is patting my back.

"Ace-kun?" Kii said worriedly.

I held my hand to her to tell her that I'm alright.

"You already have him, Kii," I told her.

"Thank you" She smiles beautifully at me and hugs the picture. Portgas D Ace picture. My picture.

Ah, I'm melted at the sight.

By the look of Lexy's weird expression, I know I'm smiling stupidly right now. She likes me that much that she was really happy to have my picture. Be still my heart, please don't jump off my chest.

As promised we left Lexy afterwards. I escorted Kii to Aoi's room to wait for him while I back to my own room. I offered to talk to Aoi with her but she said it would be better if she talks to Aoi by herself first. Guess, I'll just take a rest tonight and prepare to be killed by Aoi tomorrow.

Aside from small irritating things that happened here and there today. Life is good.
