I do not own One Piece but I do own this plot and Celest.
After everything had calmed down slightly Ace was staring intensely at the blonde commander. It was honestly starting to worry everyone, and it was creeping the blonde out the most.
Finally, tired of the staring Sabo turned to the freckled teen. "Why the hell do you keep staring at me? Is it the burns, cause if so I got them when I was young I was in a boating accident."
Ace's eyes widened in shock as everything clicked into place. The freckled teen tackled the blonde in a hug tears streaming down his cheeks. "Sabo!"
Everyone started shouting thinking the raven was attacking the blonde. They tried to pull Ace away from the blonde, but Ace wasn't having that, he clung on tighter refusing to relinquish his hold.
Sabo looked down and he couldn't help but feel like he was missing something. "Um why the hell are you hugging me? Do I know you or something?"
Ace looked shocked to hear that, he couldn't believe all this time his brother had been alive, but it looked like he didn't remember anything about him or Luffy.
The raven looked him over. "My name is Portgas D Ace, I lived on a small island in the east blue and I had two younger brothers, one of them I thought died a long time ago but that turns out it wasn't true."
Sabo grunted holding his head in pain. He could see some kind of fuzzy image in his head, but the pain was making it almost impossible to think clearly. He shook his head in pain.
Ace knew what would bring the blondes memories back. "Someone bring me some saki and three cups."
Ace was handed the items and he sat in front of Sabo placing one of the cups in front of him and the other off to the side. "Exchanging cups of saki can make us brothers, so from today onwards we're brothers!"
The raven clinked his glass with Sabo's, the blonde's eyes widened and then he screamed clutching his head as tears poured down his face. Celest rushed forward bringing the blonde into her arms. "Sabo? Sabo!"
The blonde passed out from the pain of his resurfacing memories. Celest looked at Ace in fear. "What's going on, what did you do to him?"
Ace grinned not worried at all, he knew Sabo would be fine. "Don't worry Celest, Sabo will be fine he's just regaining his memories, Sabo is my other brother, me and Lu had thought he was dead."
Celest felt herself calm down a little more but she was still worried for her friend and chief. "Alright, I'm trusting you so you better be right!"
They took Sabo down to the med bay laying him on one of the beds. Celest sat down across from Ace, who was looking at Sabo with conflicting emotions.
The purple haired girl reached over grabbing Ace's hand. The raven looked up tears in his eyes. "Are you alright Ace? He's going to be fine you know."
Ace nodded looking away from her. "I know that, it's not why I'm conflicted right now, I'm so unbelievably happy that he's alive, but I'm also pissed that he forgot about me and Lu, I'm in slight denial about everything, and I'm confused about what happened."
Fire started to flicker up Ace's arms as his emotions began to spiral. Celest stood up and surprised them both. She threw her arms around Ace pulling him towards her.
Ace was shocked, he slowly wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her impossibly close. Ace lowered his head to her neck and let some of his tears fall, he knew she would tease him about it later, so he let go.
Celest whispered soothing words to the freckled teen as she held him crying. She couldn't deny that her heart was beating like crazy, Ace was very attractive, and he had such a fun loving personality it was almost hard not to love him.
After a few minutes the two pulled away from each other. They both looked away a small pink tinging their cheeks.
The door to the med bay opened and Thatch and Marco walked into the room. Marco raised an eyebrow as he took in both of their expressions. "Did we interrupt something, yoi?"
Ace looked over face turning redder. "No, you idiot! There was nothing to interrupt!"
Celest nodded in agreement turning her face away from the guys, she couldn't believe the blonde commander asked if they were doing anything indecent.
Thatch gapped at the two pointing accusingly at Ace. "You jerk! How could you take advantage of a situation like this! Getting poor little Celest to let her guard down!"
Ace growled tackling the cook, the two wrestled around on the floor. Marco rolled his eyes at their antics before walking over and standing next to the purple haired girl.
Celest glanced at the commander a few times before she spoke up. "I wouldn't do that you know?"
Marco looked to her confused and curious. "What are you talking about? What wouldn't you do, yoi?"
The ex-dragon rolled her eyes looking to Marco fully. "I wouldn't do anything that would put your guys relationship in jeopardy, you three have something good, I don't want to destroy that."
Marco was silent for a moment before looking back at his two lovers. "I wouldn't mind you know, if you and Ace did something together, neither would Thatch, we wouldn't mind if you joined us in some of our fun either, yoi."
Celest went bright red to her ears. "W-W-What are you t-t-talking about! You perverted chicken! How could you s-s-suggest something like that!"
Marco smirked and turned to face her he started leaning towards her and Celest started to panic thinking he was going to kiss her. She shut her eyes tight. Marco placed his lips next to her ear. "Why are you getting so flustered?"
Steam was practically pouring from Celest's head when Marco was tackled to the floor, Ace was glaring at him. "You little cheater! Using me and Thatch distraction to flirt with Celest!"
Marco shrugged not minding the position Ace had them in. "I have no idea what you're talking about, yoi."
They looked over when they heard a small thud. Thatch had Celest in his arms looking shocked, the girl was out cold. Ace looked back at Marco amazed. "Wow you are good."
