Hello everyone, here is another One shot. Again, a missing scene.

We have more bonding between the ASL brothers in their new home on Boreumdo.

I am working on the chapter with Shanks and the main story, which takes more time than I first thought.

Hope you enjoy

Read and relax

Ace gave a relieved breath as he laid down in his bed. He had just returned from a long assignment and was tired. The house was dark and empty, which was no surprise, it was midnight after all. He had peeked into Luffy's room and saw both his brothers asleep, which made him smile. It was good to seem them enjoying it here. This was the first time he had been gone for over a day and returned late. He had taken a shower, trying be silent so Luffy and Sabo wouldn't wake up. As Ace enjoyed being back in his bed for some seconds, Ace closed his eyes, just listening to the silence around him.

It was good to know everything was silent and that his brothers was safe and relaxing. He was going to talk to the villagers when he could and ask them to keep an eye on the kids. One of the woman, a barmaid, really liked Luffy, and Luffy liked her too. He would take that tomorrow if he could manage to speak to her in privacy.

Ace gave a mix of a relieved breath and yawn as he moved himself in a more comfortable position and placing the blanket over himself, relaxing. It took some time, but Ace managed to fall asleep.

-x-

Ace felt someone opening his door carefully and walking inside, feet carefully shuffling across the floor. When he felt someone close to the bed, Ace lifted his arm and blanket, making room for one more. Ace felt a body crawling under his arm and lying down.

Ace opened his eyes and looked at a tired Luffy, who had a smile as he leaned his head to his chest. Ace felt himself smile as he took his arm and blanket down, draping it over Luffy. Luffy snuggled himself closer to Ace, giving soft sound of comfort as he settled down. Ace held Luffy closer, ¨How's things been here?¨ Ace whispered into Luffy's head. Luffy made a small sound, ¨It's been fun. Lindsey visited, I really like her.¨ Ace nodded. Lindsey was the barmaid and Ace as glad Luffy liked her. Luffy moved closer to Ace, relaxing. ¨I missed you.¨ The small kid whispered against Ace, using a hand to grasp his shirt. Ace moved his hand on Luffy's back, stoking it comfortingly. ¨I know, I missed you too.¨ Ace sometimes felt guilty for leaving and being away for periods of time. Luffy never blamed him or said he wished he'd stay more, just that he missed him.

Luffy breathed out softly against Ace, body relaxing as Ace stroked his back. It wasn't long until the kid was asleep, completely relaxing against him. Ace smiled as he looked at a clock in the room, seeing it was barely past 4 in the morning.

Ace closed his eyes, relaxing his body. He wouldn't fall asleep, at least not so fast as Luffy. If he did wake up, it did take him time to fall back to sleep again. But this was nice, this was almost perfect actually. There was only one thing missing, and he could hear the last piece of everything moving towards his door. It wasn't long until the door opened and Sabo peeked inside, wondering where Luffy was. Ace opened his eyes as he saw Sabo standing in the doorway with a smile, glad to see him back and Luffy sleeping. Ace made a small motion with his hand which Sabo gave a tired smile as he walked over, carefully also slipping under the covers.

The bed was more than big enough for all of them, it being a king size bed. Ace knew this would happen more often than not, therefore needing a big bed for all of them. Also giving Luffy room to move about, something he had a tendency to do in the mornings, when he was half asleep and half awake. As soon as Sabo was under the covers too, Luffy moved a bit away from Ace, now laying in his back, one arm coming to lay over Sabo and one over him. Both Sabo and Ace gave a chuckle. Sabo draped a hand over Luffy, while Ace's came over his head, cradling it. Luffy always liked that.

Ace looked at Sabo, ¨I heard Lindsey came by.¨ Sabo nodded, ¨Yeah. She brought food and played with Luffy. She's kind.¨ Ace nodded. He had guessed she were. Sabo moved himself, getting comfortable as he closed his eyes, giving a relieved breath. Ace used his hand that was cradled over Luffy's head to stroke Sabo head carefully, making it easier for him to fall asleep. It wasn't long until his breaths evened out as he fell asleep, sleeping with a smile, like Luffy. Ace closed his eyes, relaxing as his brothers slept.

This was perfect.
