(I'm sorry this one isn t that good but this is the first time writing for Thatch at all, I beleive, and I panic when I don't know the character that well.)

    "Any explanation yet?" You questioned.

        "That'd ruin it." Thatch, your boyfriend, was up to something strange. Normally he wasn't one for shenanigans, that was more so Ace' s doing. Nonetheless you complied with his demands.

        "Okay..." Honestly, you had suspicions on why he was making you pack clothes, likely some kind of spontainus trip, the Newgate family was loaded with money which made these things possible. The family lived in a huge mansion, one that could fit many. Honestly, your not sure if you've even met all of the family members yet, even when staying at their place with Thatch for over a year.

      After packing everything you could possibly need to pack, likely forgetting at least one item or another but it happens, the two of you then heard a shout and oh the many different things a shout could mean in this household.

       "You two better not be doing anything gross!" Ace busted open the door, sighing with relief of no disgusting matters taking place. "Watcha packin' for (y/n)?" He acted like everything was normal, like busting down the door was a normal occurance, which it really was.

      "Just packing." You spoke casually to the freckled Ace. He was one you talked to quite a lot in the family, besides Thatch, you're probably closer to Marco though with his calmer personality. Ace was not really hyper but it was a little too much to handle at times, whenever his little brother Luffy comes over though, may all of the commotion start with Ace looking to be the mature one.

      "Ace, that's just rude yah know?" Thatch was a little disapointed, but nonetheless not surprised. If something such as that ticked him after it happening numerous times before, he would have a road of arguing ahead.

     "Oh yah? She's my little sis too yah know, have to watch out for her. Isn't that right?" Ace patted your head as you let everything happen, not bothering one bit to put in any kind of input to it.

      "Girlfriend, not sister."

       "Wait dude, your dating your sister... That's just gross."  Ace, he was obviously playing around but it is enough to be annoying quite frankly.  The term sister was given because most thought of you as part of the family yet, it is odd when dating someone that could be called a brother. Thatch obviously was not one for it, too weird on many accounts.

     While the two bickered slightly in the background, Marco came into the room, likely hearing the commotion from rooms away. Quietly he picked up your bag, gentlemeny to add, as you followed behind. Not a word else, something similar happens often.

     "Not going to stop them?" You questioned, not particularly concerned with the two. Ace would be the first to get in trouble, as long as Thatch was okay.

      "What's the point, yoi?"

     "I guess there is none... You know where Thatch is taking me? It's not unlike him but weird he didn't even ask if I'm busy."

     "It's hard telling, he did inform pops though. Enjoy your time with him, if he hurts yah, he has a lot of siblings to deal with, yoi."

    You continued outside, thinking that Marco was of no help on the matter but it is made up by carrying your luggage. Outside, in Thatch's car, you waited, until seeing the awaited man fixing his messed up hair. Ace likely ruffed up his dew, it is the first to to tease with such a pompous hairstyle as such after all, who can resist doing so.

   He opened the car, proceeding to sit his round rump down, and relaxing from exhaustion.

    "I swear he's been getting worse at this silly game of his." Thatch longingly sighed again.

     "Well me and him were close friends before me and you started dating." You stated, and now waiting for his response. He did not give much of one, just a head scratch at the truth. "Besides where yah takin' me sailor boy?" Joking around with him, he let out a chuckle.

     "Funny you call me that, going on a cruise, how's that sound? A friend of mine happened to have two tickets and can't make it at the last minute. Dropped them off while you were asleep."

    "I love it! Though I'd be happy anywhere, your a good vacation buddy. Ace just wants to eat at every restaurant in the area or gets sidetracked by some toy shop. Not that fun in retrospect."

    "Comparing me to his level? Come on, show a little decency love. I'm your boyfriend." He smiled, now resting his arm on the car seat and turned towards you.

    "About that, can't you just call me fiancee already, we talked about marriage and both agreed."

    "Come on, don't spoil it. At least let me propose in some grandiose way, I'm a romantic I can't leave it at that." He leaned over to give a short and sweet kiss.

    " I wonder what kind of outfit I need, go with the typical white or..." You dragged on teasing the man who just wants to give an amazing proposal, not letting it slide as a simple agreement. "Okay, let's go then sailor boy. I'll wait for the proposal. The longer the wait the more my expectations raise."

   "Expect all you want. I'll beat all of those. All for the love of my life. I would do anything."
