Here is part two! I didn't plan on making a past two for this fanfic, but after being asked by some people I decided to do one ^_^ I hope you enjoy it! I did it as best as I could (since at first I had no idea what to make this about). Well, enjoy!

Of course I was shocked, just to say the least. I didn't know how to react how my cry-baby younger brother kissed me. And it wasn't any kiss. it was a kiss on the lips. My younger brother had kissed me on the lips. How was I supposed to react? It was impossible for me to act normally with Luffy now. Completely impossible. I just got far too nervous around him, and I knew he was too. He had stolen my first kiss, Luffy had stolen my first kiss. It had been completely unexpected from my baby brother and it had made me a bundle of nerves all the time. I couldn't face Luffy now without blushing madly or start stuttering, and I knew the same thing happened to Luffy. A thick and suffocating tension had taken over the atmosphere around us all the time when we were in the same room or simply close by. We hadn't trained or fought each other in a week, since that had happened, and this also referred to Sabo, who was already fed up with the whole situation and the way we were acting. He had described us as acting like "Shy and lovesick teenage girls", which had earned a punch from me.
Right now I was sitting alone on the floor of out secret base, thinking. Sabo and Luffy had gone hunting, and I had told them that I didn't feel too good and that I preferred to stay in our secret base. It was true, in a way. I had a strange sick feeling in my stomach, but I knew that I wasn't sick or going to be anytime soon, so why was I feeling like this? Why was a acting like a lovesick teenage girl when I was with Luffy? Why did I keep blushing? Why? It was stupid, and Luffy had done it because of that stupid game too, but why did I still feel weird when I was near him? and why was he acting apparently in the exact same way?
"This is stupid" I muttered then, as I continued thinking. I was trying to put my thoughts in order and discover the exact cause as to why this was happening, but I had only managed to get an enormous headache because of it. I really needed a female friend right now with which I could sort my thoughts. I desperately needed something like that, but I knew that I had no one to talk about of something like this except Dadan, who I didn't trust and was completely out of the question or that Makino that Luffy liked so much, but I didn't know her much either. I sighed as I went back to the vicious circle of thinking that I had been trapped in for since before my two brothers had gone to hunt, which worsened my already big headache.
It was hours later, when it was already night time, when Luffy and Sabo came back from hunting. They were both struggling to bring up a crocodile that was quite big and that they had caught. They were visibly exhausted, and I could see several light wounds on their body, which made me worry a bit. Sabo and Luffy were both laughing and smiling as they went into the room, but as soon as they were inside Luffy stopped doing that, looked at me for a millisecond and then stared at the floor. Sabo continued laughing for a bit, but soon stopped as he felt again that suffocating atmosphere that had taken over the room again.
"We brought dinner" He said, as he and Luffy left the crocodile on the floor.
I nodded, and soon we all started preparing dinner in complete silence, again, and with that atmosphere that the three of us hated so much.
Dinner passed very quickly, and before the three of us knew it we were all lying on the floor on our 'beds'. We were all sleeping in the same positions that we had been sleeping in before, me in the centre with both Sabo ad Luffy at my sides. Sabo was already asleep, and so was Luffy. I yawned and I soon fell asleep, completely exhausted.
I woke up hours later, when I heard a sob coming from above, where we had built that lookout tower that imitated the one on boats. I looked around me, and saw that Sabo was still sleeping, while Luffy was not in his 'bed'. I immediately grew worried over my younger brother. Why was he crying? Was he okay? I went upstairs quickly, forgetting completely the fact that we hadn't talked to each other for a week. I arrived there in no time, and I saw Luffy leaning against one of the walls sitting with his knees in front of his face and him crying like this. I hasd never seen him like this since I had known him. Not once, and seeing him like this made me sad too, surprisingly for me. Luffy was completely unaware of my presence right now.
"Luffy" I said, with almost audible whisper.
Only then Luffy realised that I was on the lookout tower with him, and as soon as I had said his name he turned around towards me and stared at me with scared eyes. I lost my breath for a moment as I suddenly remembered again the whole of this week and how it had passed by. Luffy was clearly surprised, and he continued looking at me as tears still fell down from his eyes. I had grown so accustomed to see him smiling all the time that I had totally forgotten that he was capable of emotions like these.
"Why are you crying?" I asked him, again in a barely audible whisper, as I sat down next to Luffy.
Luffy turned away for a bit, and looked in the opposite direction, not answering.
"Lu, you know that you can trust me" I then said, as I started staring at the stars that covered all the sky.
Luffy then looked at me for a few moments, as if deciding if he could trust me. "I had a bad dream..." He started saying. I looked up at him and stared at his eyes, silently telling him to go on. I then felt myself blush a little, and feel that tension that had been around us the rest of the week. "You hate me, don't you Ace?" Luffy suddenly asked. I was surprised by this, I didn't expect this at all. "You hate me for being weak, not fighting well and for k-k-kissing y-you" Luffy then managed to say with several stutters as he started crying loudly again. "and you would leave alone again because of that" He then finished saying.
I stared at him with shock as he continued crying. I didn't expect this in the least. He was weak and he didn't fight well, and it had annoyed me that he had kissed me like that, but that was not it. I didn't hate him, definitely now. I liked him quite a lot, he always managed to brighten my day in some way or another all the time after all, and yet I knew that this also wasn't it wither, so what was it then? I could also only help but wonder what exactly he had dreamt exactly.
"I don't hate you Lu" I said then, confident with my answer, as I looked at the stars again.
Luffy continued crying. "Yes you do! Because I, because I...!" He started saying, not managing to finish the phrase.
"Lu, I don't hate you, in fact I..." I then started saying, but didn't managed to express how I really liked my younger brother and how he was a great friend that I really appreciated having.
Luffy continued crying, opening his mouth as he tried to say something but didn't manage to. Suddenly I realised what he had dreamt about. He had dreamt that he was left alone because I hated him. What had I done?
"Lu, I will never leave you" I thensaid, as I pulled him intoa hug.
"B-but I" He started saying.
"It wasn't that bad, besides..." I started saying, with a light blush on my face. "What would I be without you?" I then finished saying, as I continued hugging Luffy, feeling my heart beating fast. Luffy smiled, with another light blush on his face, and the snuggled against me, soon falling asleep. I remained like that for a long time, staring at the stars and trying to find a reason for my fast beating heart. Suddenly I noticed a presence coming from the stairs that led to here. I turned around and looked at Sabo, who was grinning mischievously at me, laughing inside by how I had suddenly become so affectionate with Luffy. I stuck out my tongue at him and then decided to ignore him, as I continued trying to find answers and while I suggled lightly with Luffy too.
Next week I finally got my answer when I asked Makino. She told me it was love.
