I've already got my next prank on him planned. This time well enough in advance because he hasn't made his move yet. I'm thinking we turn him into a barbecue. Lay him out like a brick oven, tell him it's a new spa treatment and then cook a billion things over him.

The only problem is I think I'll need Sanji's help and Ace apparently told him about you and I dating. Which was apparently really extreme. Oh. [Sort of a half-thought flickers across his face, and he goes back to petting Robin to keep calm.] And Ace is really insistent that I tell Luffy about us. Which is ah... fair. I mean since he accidentally told Sanji I guess he's worried about blurting it out to Luffy now. [Grins in spite of himself. Awwww. Ace is so cute. Best idiot little bother forever.]
