Drinking Buddies
Ace has never been drunk before, to the endless amusement of Shanks and his crew. Luffy had been too young for them to throw him a real party, but they have no such qualms about the teenage captain of the Spade pirates. He and his crew are plied with booze and food, and in no time at all everyone is singing Bink’s Sake with enthusiasm.
Hands down the favourite part of the evening (night and early morning), is when Hashi begins his chopstick dance and the already tipsy Ace snorts sake out his nose.
“You! You taught him that! Do you have any idea what you’ve done?!”
Hashi is delighted to hear that Luffy still performs his favourite trick – and shares it with others – and Ace is met with demands for more stories about Luffy-exploits. He, in turn, wants to hear the story of Luffy’s rescue from Shanks, and other members of the crew jump in with tales of their own.
It quickly devolves into something of a drinking game: Who Has Luffy Scared More.
“Well, there was the first day we tried to take him swimming. Dropped right to the bottom. And we’d taken him a bit deep, right, I mean he lived right by the sea, never crossed our minds he couldn’t swim at all! And he kept trying.”
“Yeah? Well how about when he firsht…when he first…he made up an attack like a shlin…like a sligsh…like a sling-”
“A slingshot?”
“Yesh! Yes and he…he kept, over and over – right into the water!”
Groans of sympathy, and Ace is the uncontested winner of this round.
Of course, according to Shanks’ rules, the winner takes a shot. And Ace, with seven years knowing Luffy to Shanks’ one, simply has more stories. More moments of ohmygoddidhejustdothat. More desperate dives into the water after a hammer who just. Couldn’t. Stay away from the damned sea.
Ace is going to be so very, very hung over in the morning.
“Okay, okay – your turn to start now.”
“We were ‘n the jungle and…no food so Luffy he…goes and just eats this shtu – stupid big mushroom. Din’t even shtop and think, you know, poison or anything.”
Luffy will eat anything; the Red-Hair pirates are well acquainted with this fact.
“And then he starts…a fit…having a fit, on the ground, and I thought…he’s going to die, there’s no help,” the young man’s voice catches and maybe this wasn’t as funny as they thought it would be. But then “and he’s laughing the lil…the little…the bastard. High as a…thing, um…flying-”
“A kite?”
“That! It was druggy…something, like happy or-”
“Luffy stumbled onto a patch of Laughing Mushrooms while you two were lost in a jungle?”
The look on Ace’s face could only ever belong to someone who knows Luffy well: indignation, remembered worry (fear), and helpless amusement. Because of course Luffy would stumble across the prized mushrooms in the middle of nowhere, of course he would drug himself up while lost.
It’s at this point that Shanks decides Ace has had enough – they’re having fun, no point boozing the boy into unconsciousness. He’s about two hours and twenty shots too late. Ace mumbles a last “Such a pain…always have to…look out…worry ‘bout-” and passes out.
Ace is less fun in the morning: hung over, grumpy and miserable.
Shanks still thinks it was worth it.

Oh Shanks, corrupting innocents and having a good time doing it. XP
For those of you new to my journal, I reference two of my previous fic about Luffy & Ace in this one: Out of the Ocean and When in the Jungle

Date: 2009-08-24 04:13 pm (UTC)Ace and Shanks need to play Who Has Luffy Scared More with the Strawhats because that would be hilarious, lol - although Ace would still win.
Although...Luffy hasn't often scared his crew. Too much faith in him.
Maybe they could change the game to: Stupidest Thing Luffy Has Ever Done
Then his crew would stand a chance of winding up with the biggest hangover winning

Date: 2009-08-24 04:41 pm (UTC)making fun ofreminiscing about Luffy! And Who Has Luffy Scared Most is perfect with Ace, because like Shanks, Ace used to try to protect Luffy. Not an easy thing to do!He doesn't often need to be protected these days, though... Maybe he scared his crew back on Arlong Park, when he got himself stuck in the stone pavement and got thrown into the bay? XD
I remember
Now I really want that fic! It's extremely amusing to picture them all getting drunk telling stories about their Insane Captain. XDD

OMG. Scanning the comments
and feeling like a bad beta for failing at timeline maththis was just. Yeah. I'd forgotten about that!!I'm pretty sure none of the crew present at the time have. Especially since he got himself stuck. It was his plan.
He had no plan for getting unstuck.
OH, LUFFY.
I think his other "plan" in that fight might be pretty high up on the list, too. (SHARK TEETH AHAHAHA.)
Other incidents - um, well. Nami probably didn't think it was such a good thing when he got a giant ball of gold welded to his hand?
But you're right - usually they're either not there to know how scared they should be (Alabasta desert; hook through Luffy), or they have such faith in their captain that they don't have any room for worry.

Date: 2009-08-24 04:59 pm (UTC)Oh Luffy, you are so much love. &hearts
hook through Luffy
God, that was awful - and I guess the crew was scared leaving him, they just tried not to show it and worry Vivi even more

Date: 2009-08-24 04:57 pm (UTC)Ah I love that line! lol, so true
Luffy has scared his crew: Arlong Park; when Crocodile & co said he was dead (although there was some resistance to believing that); Ennies Lobby when Lucci was beating him; Thriller Bark!!!
I just think those moments are fewer than what Ace and Shanks may have had to deal with (stabbing himself in the face!)
-mostly, as you said, since he almost never needs to be protected/saved
It's extremely amusing to picture them all getting drunk telling stories about their Insane Captain.
Oh...*shifty eyes* I...may have already written that ^^; as part of another fic - it is in beta right now

Date: 2009-08-24 05:11 pm (UTC)I think tiny!Luffy would have scared his loved ones more because he was smaller and weaker but no less SPECIAL. :D
I...may have already written that ^^;
You have? I think I love you! ♥♥♥

Date: 2009-08-24 05:31 pm (UTC)lol, so very very true (although notsotiny!Luffy still does things like, eat mushrooms that then grow all over his body while he's all alone in the middle of nowhere *rolls eyes at him*)
You have?
It is coming ^^; it's in the follow up to the fic I just posted (they are eating my brain shayera!

Seriously, I will never get over the fact that the main character in a shounen series deliberately drugs himself!
