Warning: a bit of fluff, bit of angst… but not much

A/N: Yeah, I know it's old (the theme, that is), but it's just so depressing week T_T and I can't help it after seeing it again, that episode. I actually cried harder than when I was reading the manga. Well, enjoy the drabble then... *still crying*

My Brother (Hero)

"Hold still!"

"Oww! It hurts! Ace! It hurts! Please stop!"

"It's going to get harder if you're flailing, Luffy!"

"But it hurts~!" Luffy whined, setting his big round watery eyes that make Ace blush a little.

Ace sighed. "Silly rubber boy," he muttered fondly as Luffy sniffing soundly, almost crying while he finished bandaging the cut in his arms and leg. "There. All done," he tapped Luffy's shoulder gently.

"Ace…, are you mad?"Luffy looked at Ace with those eyes again and Ace groaned.

"Don't make that face," he said, almost stern, but his mouth was twitching as well.

"Sorry…," Luffy looked at his feet guiltily.

"No, not your fault. It's the branch and the thorn fault," Ace seemed defeated and ruffled Luffy's hair. "I'm just relieved that you're okay." He smiled softly and kissed Luffy's hair affectionately.

"But-but, Ace was so cool! You beat those plant-monsters with just a stick! You're awesome!" Luffy looked up again and stared at his big brother with sparkling eyes. "Ace, my hero!" He hugged Ace tightly with happy face.

Ace blushed again. "Moron," He hugged and tickled Luffy earnestly, making him yelp and laugh in surprise.

AcexLuffy

No… No…! NO!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!" Luffy woke up screaming in horror as the image of blood, Ace pained face, and his aching last words played again in his head.

"Luffy!" Sanji's voice and his hands shaking Luffy startled the Mugiwara Captain back to reality, his breaths hard, shallow and tears streaming down his cheeks. "Are you okay?"

Luffy saw his other nakama, looking at him worriedly. "Ah…, I-…, it's okay… just-… a… a nightmare…."

"Luffy…," Chopper put his hands on Luffy's chest, eyes really worried, but seemed hesitated to ask.

"Yeah… I'm fine. It's just… sometimes I dream, that's all."

About Ace… my brother… my strong beloved hero...

The End

A/N: Oh god… why…! Why Oda…? Why…? TT_TT Why did you have to kill Ace…? Damn it! I'm crying again after seeing that episode. No! Ace! Whyyyy! Feedback is always welcome ^_^
