Hello everyone, here is another one shot, this is a missing scene

This is early, I was supposed to put it up tomorrow, but since I won't be able to do that because of reasons, I decided to put it up now since it already was finished

This is more of bonding between the brothers at Boreumdo, but also more things that the brothers, or rather Sabo, find out about Ace

This was a request from Myanimeobsession and Yaoifan124

And this have some hints to non-con/rape, nothing described

Hope you enjoy

Read and relax

Sabo watched as Luffy ran around outside and playing with some kids from the village, Lindsey watching over them. The woman was really kind and enjoyed to be with them it seemed like, she was like a Makino, caring and loving. She did know who they were to some extent, also that Ace was an assassin. But she didn't care, which was something he knew Ace was thankful for.

They had an agreement, that Lindsey helped watch him and Luffy and Ace would help to keep the island in good shape, both protecting it and making sure they had everything they needed. Sabo knew Lindsey didn't mind watching and being with them, she looked like she really did like it, and said she didn't need anything from him. But Ace did still help around and made sure they had the funds.

As everything was looking to be calm and good outside, Lindsey also watching them, Sabo went inside the house, making sure to close the door behind him. Ace was out on an assignment that would take the entire day, making so it was only him and Luffy here, and Luffy was outside, meaning he was alone in the house, which was exactly what he wanted now. He knew it might be wrong, that he shouldn't snoop or pry in Aces things, but there was something that he needed to check.

He was sure Ace was hiding or keeping something from them, something that was a lot on his mind.

Ace had been acting out of character for a few days, and last night, he had gotten a parchment that seemed to make him relax, almost like taking the burden off his shoulders. And he wanted to know what it was, he was worried for his brother. Whatever this might be, was something he had seen and experienced before. Ace did sometimes look uncertain and his eyes just seemed downcast and like he had a huge burden that was over him, and whatever that note said, fixed it and made him relax again and become himself. Not that he changed much, but he noticed it.

When he was in the house, he walked to Aces room and looked around. He knew Ace usually hid his stuff, especially things he wanted to keep from them, like his work. He had a feeling whatever this was, had something to do with his work, but not something that happened often.

As he was looking in the room, he walked over to Aces dresser and opened the drawers there, having heard them open and close often. He looked through them all, but found nothing of interest, just some normal books, letters and such. With a small sigh, knowing he had to pry more, something he didn't like to do, but he needed to know if it was something he could help with. Sabo walked to the closet and opened it, checking some small drawers and spaces inside the closet and behind the clothes that hang there. As he was about to close the closet and head to another dresser, he noticed something at the top of the dresser, inside a small room at the top.

With a small frown, Sabo brought a chair to the closet, since it was way up high, and tried to reached it as he stood on the chair. He still needed to stand on his toes and stretch, but he managed to grab the small box and stepped down from the chair. As he was down, he placed the box on the desk and opened it, looking over what was inside.

As he looked under some boring things, he found a red parchment with a black seal that was broken. It looked to be the exact one Ace had gotten. Sabo carefully took it out, and noticed more exactly like it under, before he opened the one he held in his hands. When it was open, he looked it over and used a few seconds to figure out what it was. It seemed like results of some kind, but he wasn't sure on exactly what.

But as he saw a distinctive few words and sentences, he felt his inside grow cold. It was an STD panel, all negative. But not only that, it mentioned no visual damage.

Sabo felt his throat closing, hoping he might be wrong, that he read it wrong or misunderstood it. He placed the one parchment he held at the table and grabbed for another one, one that looked exactly the same, and opened it, reading it over. It stood the exact same thing. With a trembling the hand, he reached for another one and looked it over, and felt his entire body freeze and mind almost stopping. It mentioned excessive damage in certain places. His mind only repeated one thing over and over, and that was that Ace had been raped. Sabo felt his hand starting to shake more as the revelation hit him, that Ace, his brother, had been raped, multiple times. His insides twisted at the thought. He knew it might be something bad, but this was horrible.

Sabo had no idea how long he stood and stared at the words, but when he heard Luffy yell 'goodbye', he quickly managed to put the parchment he held back into the box and put it back into the closet. Not where it was before, just inside it, and closed the door before going to the door, taking a deep breath before he opened it. As soon as he had the door open, he saw Luffy coming in the door, smiling. When Luffy saw him coming from Aces room, he frowned, tilting his head. ¨What were you doing in Aces room?¨ Sabo shook his head, ¨Nothing.¨ He said, biting the inside of his cheek. It sounded strained to his ears even.

Before Luffy could say anything more, Sabo walked past him, ¨I need some fresh air.¨ And went out, needing to clear his head. Nothing bad could happen to Luffy inside the house anyway, and he wouldn't go far. He just couldn't handle this right now and didn't want Luffy to know. Luffy would probably understand he needed some minutes to himself, he was way to perceptive for his own good sometimes. He only hoped he wouldn't figure this out. He hoped Luffy would never know, never know what their brother, who did everything to protect them, had gone through that.

But as the door closed, Luffy tilted his head, knowing Sabo was upset about something. He gave a look to Aces door before walking in, wondering what had his brother this upset. As he saw the desk, he saw a red parchment, which he picked up and looked at, frowning.

Ace sat in the sofa, reading a book as Sabo was sleeping on his shoulder, having fallen asleep while Lindsey were here earlier, telling them how the day had been and inviting them to a party later. Which Luffy really wanted to go to, and Sabo seemed to want to go himself, so he had said yes, hoping he was here when the party was, not on an assignment. He had managed to wrap the one he had just been at early, making so the clock was barely past 4 in the afternoon, the party was going to be at 6 o'clock in the village. As he was reading, Luffy came and sat down next to him, giving him a look. ¨Ace.¨ Strated Luffy, sounding like he was going to ask something he had been thinking about. Ace gave a hum, making Luffy continue.

¨What is STD?¨ Ace felt his mind halting for a second, before he closed the book, looking at Luffy. ¨Where did you hear that?¨

Luffy fidgeted a tiny bit, ¨Sabo went inside your room and looked at some things, which upset him. I was curious and went inside when he left and there was a paper on your desk with the word… I know I'm not supposed to go through your stuff… But Sabo seemed upset.¨ Ace gave a small sigh, placing his book at the table, before looking at Luffy again. ¨I'm not mad.¨ Luffy gave a nod, looking at him. ¨What is it? STD?¨ Ace thought for a second, thinking how he should explain it to Luffy. ¨Do you know what sex is?¨ Luffy gave a nod, ¨Yeah, that's how a man and woman make a baby! Makino told me about it.¨ Ace gave a nod, he was right, but he had a feeling Makino only told him about the basic 'how to make a baby'. Luffy was 15, he was old enough to get a more in depth explanation on it.

Ace gave a small nod, ¨Yes, but there are more to it that that.¨ Luffy tilted his head, ¨Like what?¨ Ace started to tell on how it were, how sex worked. How it could be between male and male, female and female and female and male. That everyone liked different people and some liked the same gender, while some not, and some liked both. And that whatever you chose, it was fine as long as both was of age and in some range of each other. Also mentioning protection and condoms. When he was done with it, Luffy gave a nod, seeming to be taking it all in. ¨Then what's STD?¨ Ace gave Luffy a point look, ¨It stands for Sexual Transmitted Disiease. Some people carry diseases that can infect you, but only through having sex. The reason protection is important if you're not sure if the one you're with is clean.¨

Luffy nodded, thinking before he frowned. ¨Then why is there people who have it? If protection stops from infecting others?¨ Ace looked at Luffy, ¨Because not everyone tells they are infected.¨ Luffy nodded, tilting his head, ¨Then they should use protection if they won't tell.¨ Ace nodded, before giving a small sigh, ¨Yes, but not everyone is nice.¨ Ace felt the body laying on his shoulder tensing, but ignored it for now. Ace looked at Luffy seriously, ¨Some people don't let others choose if they should have sex, they use force, which is not okay. Sex is to be consensual and feel good to both. This means that you are not allowed to force anyone, and no one is allowed to force you. You promise me to tell if anyone do.¨

Luffy nodded. ¨I won't do it, I promise. And I will tell if anyone do, I promise. I get that it's wrong. It won't feel good if it is forced, and you're never supposed to make others feel bad or be mean like that.¨ Luffy tilted his head, ¨Is that how it is infected a lot? Cuz they don't ask and just do it?¨ Ace nodded, ¨Yes. And it is wrong to do it, the reason you should never do it, and stop someone who is trying to do it. You allways ask for permission, if they say no, stop right away, and they are to do the same if you say no. Do not try to persuade them into doing it, that's wrong and mean.¨ He was going to be sure Luffy knew how wrong it was. He did seem to understand it. He knew Ace was serious about this, he wouldn't have mentioned it if he weren't.

Luffy gave a nod, before frowning and having a serious and dark look in his eyes. ¨Have anyone been mean to you?¨ Ace placed his hand on Luffys head, looking into his eyes with a soft look. ¨I'm fine. No reason to worry.¨ Luffy still looked at him with a frown, ¨Promise?¨ Ace nodded, ¨Promise.¨ Luffy nodded and gave a smile, but still having small emotions in his eyes, not liking he didn't say no, but glad he promised he were fine. Ace looked at Luffy again, ¨And you don't go around and ask or talk to strangers about this.¨ Luffy nodded. ¨I won't. You said it was private things.¨

Ace nodded, ¨Yes, but you can ask me about things, if you're unsure about anything. Even Sabo can help explain if I'm not here.¨ Luffy nodded, giving a smile. Ace gave smile to Luffy, ¨Why don't you go and see how the preparations to the party is going?¨ Luffy nodded, looking excited. ¨I will!¨ And went up to head out. ¨Don't eat all the food, Lu!¨ Yelled Ace after the kid. Luffy gave a laugh, ¨No promises!¨ Ace gave a small chuckle himself. Luffy was lively as always. He was glad he listened to his words, it was important.

Ace gave a small sigh as he looked at Sabo, who was still laying on his shoulder and pretending to be asleep. ¨I know you're awake, Sabo.¨

Sabo moved to sit up and sent a look at him. ¨I'm sorry for going through your things…¨ Ace shook his head, ¨It's okay, I'm not mad about it. But try not to do it again later, okay?¨ Sabo gave a nod, before looking at him with concerned and eyes full of emotions. ¨Ace, it said you… I looked at some more and it said...¨ Sabo trailed off, looking at him with with those eyes filled with so many emotions and concern for him. Ace gave a small smile, ¨I'm fine, Sabo.¨ Sabo shook his head, ¨It's not fine! You-, they-,¨

Ace out his hand on Sabos head, silencing him and looked directly into his eyes, leaning his forehead against Sabos. ¨It's not fine, but I'm fine. I promise.¨

Sabo looked at him with mixed emotions. When he was about to open his mouth, Ace shook his head against Sabos. ¨I promise you, I'm fine. Don't worry about it.¨ Sabo gave him a mixed look, before giving a slow nod, moving himself closer to lean on him, bringing his hands to hold around him. Ace gave a small smile, holding around Sabo back. He understood Sabo didn't like to find out, and Ace knew some of those parchments mentioned damage and such, meaning he did know that he had been raped and tortured. Ace didn't like that he knew, but he was fine, he was better at handling it now.

After some time, Ace looked down on Sabo, who seemed calm. ¨Do I need to give you the talk I gave to Luffy?¨ Sabo let out a small chuckle, ¨No. I heard it and I know it from before.¨ Ace gave a nod, giving a chuckle himself. Sabo tightened his arms around him, ¨Is this why you was so… emotionless that time when you were 13?¨ Ace gave a small sigh, Sabo was right about that, but he didn't want to say yes. Ace leaned his head against Sabos, ¨I'm fine now. Don't brood over the past.¨ Sabo gave a small sound, ¨I just… How can you be fine? That's horrible and you shouldn't be fine.¨ Ace gave a sigh and tightened his arms around Sabo, leaning his head closer to his. ¨Don't worry about it. I am fine now, I can handle it.¨

Sabo gave a nod against him, not liking that he was avoiding it like he were. He knew he was avoiding it, but Sabo didn't need to hear or bear his burdens.

Ace continued to hold around Sabo, comforting him for being upset and worrying for him. It was good to know Sabo worried for him, but it was Aces job to be strong, so he and Luffy could lean on him, not so he could lean on them. He was their big brother, he was going to be strong for them.

After half an hour, Ace raised his head and looked at Sabo, who had calmed down and was just relaxing against him. Ace gave a smile, ¨Should we head to the village too? Luffy have probably already eaten half off the food.¨ Sabo gave a small chuckle, leaning back so he could sit. ¨We should. It starts soon anyway.¨ Ace nodded with a small laugh.

When they were up and standing, Ace put an arm around Sabos neck, giving a small hug. ¨Don't brood over it. I will be fine and here for you. It's fine to worry, but you don't have to worry so much.¨ Sabo gave a nod, but didn't say anything. Ace held around him for a few more seconds, before taking his arm away and giving a smile, getting one back. They then headed to the village, where Luffy was playing a game with Lindsey and some others, everything looking ready.

As the night progressed on and the party started and was amazing as usual, Ace still felt Sabo giving him looks now and then, but he didn't for long and always smiled when he saw he was having fun and enjoying himself, which he really was.

He would always be there for them and he would always be fine.

And that's the chapter, hope you enjoyed

I know it might not have been the most interesting way for Sabo to find out, but I thought that this was the most plausible way. And he did get to talk to Luffy about it too, giving 'the talk', which needed to be done
