Thirty Days Before I Love You

Night before December

Inside a dimly lit room messed with crumpled paper, a freckled teen wearing his glasses dragged his pen on the piece of paper while trying his best to express himself in words. It was pathetic, he knows. Whenever he is done writing and starts reading it crimson blush would explode on his cheeks and makes him crumple it and try again. CHEESY..! That's what he thought. How in the seven pits of hell could he write something embarrassing? True it was near impossible for him to do that, but fuck, that guy would mess him up badly that he would slowly change as time passes by.

Finally giving up on writing a letter, he crumpled the last piece and threw it on his back. That sucked… apparently it was one of the ridiculous ideas he made as a gift to the person he admired. It was December, the month of Christmas, something that everyone would look forward to… except for him. But really, when he mentioned about Christmas Day, the blonde would smile looking all happy and stuff. Now that he remembered it, a blush once again appeared on his face.

"God damn it, what the hell is happening to me..?" the guy was to blame on everything, but yet he could hate it at all. It may be Two years since they met, but…

'…I really did like him within those years…'

This year will be his last school year, which the teen feared much. Just thinking of him being unable to see the blonde is making his heart sink in sadness. He knew this day would come, since there is no such thing as forever. But he should at least… treasure the remaining days he will be together with him right? A huge sigh escaped from his lips. This life is really complicated, especially with all these twist and turns. Then again, it's not like he'll die with a little turn right?

He took his pen again and wrote in another set of paper. It wasn't the time for him to give u yet. To hell with self-sadism, he needs to make the letter ASAP. When he was about to finish the first sentence, someone slammed on the door repeatedly that almost made his soul jump out.

"Ace ace ACE..! Where is Sabo? Where is dinner? I want meat..!" it seems that his little brother has just arrived from hanging out with his gang. Sighing, he decided that he'd make the letter later once he's done babying his cute little bro.

"Lu~! Where have you been? Don't scare me like that…" his little brother pouted and then puffed his cheeks.

"You are inside your cave again Nii~chan..!" the older sweat dropped at how his little brother describe him locking up on his room. He pinched his brother's cheek making the little teen whine and try to get away.

"Brat, are you calling me a caveman?" now he used two of his hands to pinch both side on the younger's cheeks. Struggles and whining continued until someone on the corner of the hallways chuckled and watched the two.

"Shabooo..!" finally letting the younger go, Luffy leaped towards his blonde brother with a big bear hug

"Whoa there little monkey. Has Ace been mean to you while I was away?" Luffy nodded and hid behind his big brother's back trying to seek refuge from his other big brother's evil pinching intent.

"Come here you little brat..!" he chased after the little monkey running around in circles with the blonde just smiled at the energy the two are showing. He silently made his way towards the kitchen to prepare the food while the other two getting occupied in their grand chase. Ace, who seems to be preoccupied on playing with his little brother didn't notice the blonde's absence. Well, even though if he'd notice him leave his brother would probably not want him to disrupt his peaceful cooking session.

"Gyaaa~! Nooooo~! Stahp~!" the younger somehow got the vase fall without breaking making Ace pale.

"Hey— Lu— Don't..!" too late, the little monkey slipped and crashed on his bedroom window. In reflex, he jumped after the teen and then ended up falling together from the second floor. Landing on the bushes which just grew there for unknown reasons, both brothers are safe from any serious injuries. Thankfully…

"Ace..! Luffy..! Where—?!" they both groaned as they look at Sabo who was peering at the window they fell from. His worried look turned into relief when he saw the two being caught by the bush.

"Luffy?! Are you alright?! Did you get hurt?! Any wounds?! Sabo! Call an ambulance!" he over reacted and then look at Luffy all over to see if he did receive any wounds.

"Shishishishishi~! I'm good~!" he saw a graze on the younger and was about to make fuss about it but then he suddenly fell asleep.

This is the Monkey residence… known to be the noisiest and lively house in the Fuusha Street. Everyday, no one would wonder if the house suddenly lit fire or an explosion happened since they knew that those brothers are currently living there. Which is already considered as normal by the people next door…

"Luffy, take Ace back inside and let me disinfect all your wounds. Geez, I was just about to cook dinner too…" Luffy nodded then dragged Ace back inside the house then slammed the door shut.

"Sabooooo..! Ace's room is dirty..!" the blonde looked around and sighed. Will all the crumpled papers wasted and broken glasses littered around the room. Ace was going to get scolded if it wasn't for Sabo letting him off for the moment. His brother knew about it since he's not that oblivious to not notice at all. But he's keeping his mouth shut for both of their sakes.

"It can't be helped… I'll clean it up later…" his brother's eyes caught something in front of Ace's table. It was a single piece of paper hung on the wall. He wasn't the one to interfere with other people's businesses but 2 words that were highlighted made him understand and smile

'30 days'

Ace was lucky to have an understanding brother. All Sabo could do was smile and leave the freckled teen's room

Please leave a review for any ideas..! :D
