Aww~ poor Marco, so precious~ Well, he sounds like a teen now and the baby Marco from before is certainly missed, especially since he had grown up painfully and away from his family, but he's still adorable. Very. And poor Ace too. He must have been really stressed and worried (as was everyone else, for sure) over Marco's disappearance and the way Marco was when he was found. So heartbreaking. I hope I can read something that makes it all better and I wonder how Marco will come back for real? *yes, am low key begging for more but it's okay if there aren't; I mean, it certainly takes a lot to write something, anything*

ohmygod im dying- when ace just put it to words that marco is currently a kid born from an egg i just-

I suddnely had “KaKyOiN dId YoU lAy ThIs EgG?!” flashbacks i cant even—

I am deceased

Great story!

The feels are strong with this one.
Awsome story hope to see it update soon.

Love this story. Young!Marco's adorable.
Eagerly awaiting the next update

He figured it out! Ahh this chapter makes me so happy. I really hope you choose to continue this some day, it's an amazing story that deserves all the love!

Ahhhhhhhh I bet Marco's just repeating what he heard Ace say to the pineapple, isn't he? And the yoi! It's returned! *celebrates* I like how you had Ace fumble and mess up in reassuring Marco instead of magically saying exactly what Marco needed to here, it was really in character and I applaud you for that

Ah, there's the angst. Delicious salty angst. Why salty? The salt comes from the tears streaming down my face. Dammit Ace, that was so idiotic I'm gonna slap you, I swear to god. *swaddles Marco in a thousand blankets of love and warmth and happiness*

What's wrong with Marco? Why is he hurting Dx are they growing pains or something? Damn marines, Ace is going to rip you to shreds, and I look forward to it. I swear if you hurt Marco I'll- be really angry and wish I could do something back to you. ... that's a crappy threat but don't hurt him!

Shhhhh *covers up the angst* nope, nothing but fluff here, everything's perfectly fine here... I hope Marco tries to collect Jozu tho XD

Alright alright, I admit that I'm looking forward to the angst here, there's so much potential!

Ah, fluff! By all means, do not tone it down, this chapter was adorable! Like 15 out of 10. And I'd suspected that Marco would grow faster than normal, so I'm glass to see that confirmed (: you're doing a great job with this story, I love it! Little Marco is solo cute

I thought that Marco could talk! It didn't make sense for him to be unable to speak really

Hehe that's so cute :3 Marco's imprinting on Ace! XD

Oo BRING ON THE ANGST WHEN MARCO WAKES UP WHOO!

I realize this is entirely inappropriate, but: hehe, Ace just saw Marco naked xP well, presumably it's Marco. Who knows

What a lovely angsty start
