This was a request from Myanimeobsession

Hope you enjoy

Read and relax

Ace watched as Luffy was running around and putting up pictures and moving things around. They had lived in the new house for a couple of days and was still settling in. Sabo was packing some things out in his room, trying to decide where to put all of his things. Sabo had a lot of small things, not nearly as much as Luffy, but still a lot. Luffy had barely started to pack out in his room, wanting to work on the living room first. They all had own rooms, even though Ace had a feeling they wouldn't be sleeping in their own all the time, especially Luffy, who liked to sleep next to others. Ace had his own room and needed to have it, for nights he had assignments and came back late. He didn't want to wake his brothers up when he came back late.

Ace had decided to try to stay more here and less at Amegakure, at least while they were settling in. Ace did at least try to stay the night home. Azuruko had understood and because of Ace's powers, it was doable. After Ace had started to make his own name, he had more free time, at least for now. He wasn't as known yet and didn't have a lot of request, at least not yet. He had a feeling he would be more busy as time went one and his name got more out.

As Luffy was running back and forth, trying to decide where to place a picture he had gotten from Makino, Ace shook his head as he turned to a book, deciding to read while Luffy was deciding if he should place the picture on the counter or the wall. Ace enjoyed to sit and read while Luffy was running around and talking to himself, asking himself where he should place things, even answering himself. It was calming to listen to it. Ace had a feeling Sabo might had gotten caught up in something in his room, probably found something he found interesting again and was checking it out.

As half an hour moved by, Ace, who sat cross legged in a couch chair with the book in front of him, suddenly had Luffy crawling onto his lap from under his arm and sitting down, making himself comfortable.

Ace gave a small chuckle as he moved the book to his right hand, the left coming to hold around Luffy. When Ace looked down at his brother, he saw a gigantic smile as he looked at him. ¨Are you finished for now, Lu?¨ Luffy nodded and reached for a sandwich at the table, before leaning back on Ace, eating it. Ace looked around the room, seeing Luffy had used the last hours to place all the pictures and small memorabilia around. Ace smiled when he saw how much Luffy had worked to make it feel like home, not having empty walls, desks or counters. Ace moved his legs in a more comfortable position as he started to read again, Luffy sitting in his lap. It felt good to be around his brothers more. He sometimes felt guilty when he didn't see them for days, sometimes even weeks. Ace had a feeling this would be a good change.

As Luffy reached for another sandwich, Sabo came out of his room, smiling when he saw Ace and Luffy comfortable on the couch chair. Sabo also grabbed a sandwich as he came to sit beside Ace on his right side. The perks of having a couch chair was that it fit all of them comfortably on it. Sabo took a bite as he looked at them, ¨I like it here, it's calm and peaceful.¨ Ace felt Luffy nodding, ¨Yeah! And the villagers seem nice, we should visit them.¨ Ace gave a chuckle, some villagers had come and offered the plate of sandwiches earlier, saying they lived on the other side of the forest which split the island. Ace gave a nod, ¨We can see tomorrow, it's late now.¨ Luffy nodded and went back to resting against him.

They had used all day to pack out and place their stuff, also checking the outside out a bit. They had been at it since they woke up and it was now closing in on ten, it was already dark out. Ace looked at Sabo, ¨How did packing out go?¨ Sabo looked embarrassed for a second, ¨I found a book again and caught up in it.¨ Ace gave a laugh, he knew something like that had happened, Sabo had been gone for hours. Sabo glared as he lightly pushed Ace in the shoulder. ¨It's not funny!¨ Ace gave an amused smiled, ¨And yet, I'm laughing.¨ Sabo lightly pushed Ace again, making him give a small chuckle. As Ace felt Luffy leaning more against him and moving more on his side to lay against Ace, he looked at Sabo, motioning towards a blanket. Sabo nodded and gave it to Ace, who draped it over Luffy. Sabo smiled when Luffy made himself even more comfortable and looked at Ace.

¨I'll think we'll like it here.¨ Ace nodded, caressing Luffy's head. ¨I think you are right.¨ Answered Ace with a smile, looking at Sabo. Luffy really seemed to like it here, which was good.

Ace picked up the book he had laid down on his leg, starting to read again. He could feel Sabo placing himself closer and starting to read the book too. It was a book about some legend of dragons, a small change from what Ace usually read. Luffy fell asleep at once, breathing out softly as his head leaned on Ace's left shoulder. As time moved along, it wasn't long until Ace felt Sabo's head come to rest on his other shoulder, becoming heavier as eyes tried to stay open. They had been up for a long time and been doing a lot.

Ace carefully placed the book down again as he dragged some of the blanket to lay over Sabo too, before moving his left arm to lay over the blanket, still laying across Luffy, and grabbed his book with his left hand, right arm coming around to lay over Sabo's shoulders, making him lean more on Ace, giving a soft breath as he relaxed.

Ace smiled as he started to read again, both Sabo and Luffy asleep. They would be happy here.

And that's the chapter, hope you enjoyed

Big brother Ace is a caring Ace, we need more of that. As well as a break from all the depressing and other things that are happening. Just calm and relaxing.
