It was Ben's birthday and the entire crew was celebrating it, all of them except for the birthday boy himself. The gun-totting first mate was sitting out on deck. A cigarette casually dangling from his lips as his gun rested in one arm as his other hand held a worn copy of a book Shanks had bought him a few birthdays ago.
A loud crash drew the pirate's gaze from his book. Raising a graying eyebrow Ben looked at the sheepish smiles of his nakama and followed their pointing fingers to his captain. Shanks was lying over what was a cask of rum and what was now a spreading puddle of dark alcohol and splintered wood.
"Mind telling me how that happened?"
"I was trying to break out some rum for the party?" Ben closed his book with a sigh and stood, walking over to his captain, he held out his hand. Taking it, Shanks lifted himself up and wrapped his one arm around the taller man's neck.
"Come on, don't be a stick in the mud! It's your birthday I say we celebrate it like only Red Haired Pirates can!" Ben smiled as his nakama cheered in agreement.
"Only this once, after that I expect some piece and quiet." Shanks and the rest of the crew gave him a victory sign and went about their normal bouts of trying to drink themselves under the table and trying to throw each other overboard.
Shanks released his lover from his hold and went yelling after Yasopp, only to pull Ben along with him. The first mate smiled before taking a pint of rum that had been shoved at him and dodging a hit from a rack of meat that belonged to Lucky Roux.

"See, told ya you'd have a good time." Shanks said as he dragged himself to the bed that currently held his first mate.
"If you call having to save you from going overboard and keeping myself from having been dunked in a barrel of alcohol by an overzealous Rockstar fun, then I guess I did." Ben smiled leisurely as Shanks sidled up to him to nuzzle against his face.
"You should listen to me more often; you'd have loads of fun then."
"If I were to listen to you we would never see daylight more than a few hours a day for you wanting to stay in bed and I'd be a drunkard like you.”
"True I do like seeing you naked a lot." The red-head had decided to ignore the drunkard remark, knowing he'd only lose the argument...again. Ben sighed in relaxation as he felt scratchy kisses on his neck and chuckled when he felt a familiar hand under his shirt.
"Anxious?"
"Just wanted to start right away on your birthday present is all." Ben lay back bringing Shank's head closer to him for a searing kiss as a single hand tried to remove his clothes. The older man smiled before flipping their positions, earning a smile from the red-head now underneath him.
"Agreed, we should get started right away." Shanks laughed and joked about how he was rubbing off on Ben after all these years. Before the mood was killed completely Ben quieted his captain the best way he knew how, by silencing him with another kiss.
