Disclaimer: I DON'T OWEN ANY THING

Author note: sorry for the late update and here is the chapter, next chapter will be more late because of finals, collage life sucks big time and sorry for everyone who reads the story but I promise that I will write from today so hopefully I will get chapter 3 out soon.

It was 4 hours after Luffy's breakdown they took him home and now he was sleeping on Ace's lap.

Ace was worried he never knew that Luffy was still afraid of losing him after that incident till now, he should have been fine. He hoped that Luffy will be alright when he woke up; he didn't know what to do if he didn't.

A knock came from the door as it opened it revealed his father Roger on the door.

"Ace go to sleep nothing can be done until Luffy wakes up even if you stay awake" said Roger frowning, after what happened his grandfather and uncle Dragon allowed him to take luffy with him home so he was now in his home, he promised them to call if anything happened, and even if they wanted to take Luffy with them they wouldn't be able to because he was attached to Ace with a death grip.

"Yeah.." replied Ace tiredly at any other time he would have argued with Roger, he wasn't used to him yet, Ace used to live with his grandfather and uncle from age ten till last year (now he is eighteen)when his father got out of "Imple dawn" prison and came to take him, he now lives with him but still can't get used to him he never saw him before and he never knew his mother.

before Garp found him he used to live in the streets with his mother's friend Marshell D Teach or that what he told him, turned out he kidnapped him when he was born from the hospital, the police are still looking for him though and they never found him tell now, those days were hell but now days are just weird with his father and his father's friend Silvers Rayleigh.

For the whole week Ace wasn't sleeping normally because of the preparations for the play so when he fixed luffy and hit his head on the pillow he slept like a dead man which brought a smile on roger's face as he closed the door.

…

*Dream*

Three boys were running from a big black fog the smaller tripped so one of the boys stopped the other didn't notice as he continued to run thinking that the other two were behind him.

The elder boy helped the younger and argued him to go, they run but the fog got near them and the elder pushed the younger out of the way as he was swallowed by the black fog.

…

*Luffy POV*

When I opened my eyes the first thing I saw was the alarm clock it read 3 PM I turned and I saw Ace sleeping next to me. Why was I in Ace's bed? And why was I in his room? A lot of questions came to my mind which made me hungry but the thought of food made me sick for the first time in my life.

Next thing I noticed that I was sweating in my not bed clothes so that means I didn't change? The last thing I remember is that I was going with my friends to Ace and Sabo's school play and it was good but weirdly I don't remember the end of the play and what happened after it?

I decided not to think about it because thinking makes my head hurt and beside Robin is an expert in thinking not me. With that conclusion I decided to entertain myself with watching Ace sleeping and making funny faces cuz I didn't feel like sleeping.

I noticed that Ace has black marks under his eyes, Chopper once said that people who got black under their eyes are not sleeping well, so that means Ace wasn't sleeping well.

I pulled Ace to me and he automatically hugged me and buried his face under my chin as he was still sleeping, and people called my funny.

I ran my fingers in Ace hair it was so smooth and I loved to play with it all the time, I closed my eyes and felt really calm I don't know why but I don't want to let ace go, I want to stay like this forever*.

…

*Ace POV*

I woke up at my phone ringing voice from the ring tone I knew it was Sabo probably he is worried and wants to ask about Luffy, speaking of Luffy I noticed that he was sleeping while hugging my head hope he is feeling better.

I reached for the damn phone and answered it while tugging Luffy's hand away from my head gently to not wake him up.

"Hey Ace how is Luffy?" came Sabo's voice from the other end, he sounded tired probably didn't sleep all night, wonder why didn't he came to my house? Oh yeah his parents doesn't want him to be friends with a criminal son, not that he or I care at all.

"He is sleeping like a log and drooling too" I said jokingly hope to ease his worry.

"Thank god then" then there was a long pause after that a sign, yes Sabo was really tired.

"Ace do you know what happened?" asked Sabo still worried.

"I think he has trauma from that time when we were chased by those gang men remember" I winced at the memory of that time it was really painful.

"Yeah I DO remember how I can forget you were nearly killed by those men" said Sabo now raising his voice.

"and I think I get where Luffy is coming from I mean he saw it with his own eyes and all I did was run" said Sabo in a broken voice guess that Luffy wasn't the only one who were still caught up in it.

"hey it wasn't your fault and not Luffy's too if anyone was to be blamed it would be me, I WAS the one that took you two to the old factory and I WAS the one that stole their money" it was true it was all my fault and now because of me both Luffy and Sabo were suffering of it, if only I didn't go there if only I wasn't such an idiot if only I wasn't born…

"Ace don't you dare say it was your fault, it wasn't and take care of Luffy till I get there I am coming on my way to your house so wait a minute ok" said Sabo and I now noticed that there are street noise in the background, Sabo is coming against his parents approval hope he won't get to too many problems.

"okay then I'll see you in minutes" as I closed the phone I saw Luffy stir and start to wake, I watched him intensely looking for any sign of breakdown not that I knew any but I guessed that it would be something not normal Luffy thing but it didn't happen Luffy was acting like typical Luffy, rubbing his eyes and then his stomach then falling back to the pillow then realizing that he is hungry then getting up and…

"Ace I am HUNGRY!" yes topical Luffy.

…

*At the dinner table*

Everyone was silently eating their food while watching Luffy munches on the meat**.

"So how is school Luffy" said ray trying to begin a conversation with Luffy to know if he was fine or what happened yesterday.

"meeh mm memhh mm mmm mum" said Luffy with a mouthful of food.

"I think he meant that it is great and fun" said Ace while eating.

The rest of the meal went silently not even Roger making a sound.

*Luffy is afraid to let go of Ace

**he eats meat on every meal, I have a friend who does that and it is not healthy so don't do it.

And please if you want any paring tell me from now.
