Read and relax
Ace sat on the couch, a trembling Luffy in his arms. Ace used his hands to comfortingly stroke Luffys back, keep his body relaxed to show it wasn't dangerous. Luffy was sitting in his lap, arms around him as his head was pressed into his chest, a blanket over him as he tried to hide from the storm raging outside. When Ace saw light flashing in the windows, he lowered his head to keep it close to Luffys, making his head tucked underneath his, knowing thunder would soon follow. It took a couple of seconds, but loud thunder could soon be heard, so loud and strong the house shook a tiny bit.
Ace felt Luffys trembling increase as he let out a small whimper, trying to press himself further in Aces arms.
Ace gave a soft hushing noise, one hand moving to his head to move through strands of hair. He knew Luffy was terrified of thunder, making so he was sure to be home right now. Luffy wasn't afraid of the lighting or the dark, but the loud thunder that followed, saying it sounded like someone was screaming at him and he didn't like it, saying it felt like everything would crumble. As he continued to comfort Luffy, he felt the couch dip next to him and saw Sabo sitting down. Ace gave a smile to the blond, Sabo giving one back and moving a hand to hold onto Luffys.
When another thunder roared outside, Luffys body shook with a small whimper again. Ace gave a small sigh inside himself. There thankfully weren't a lot of thunderstorms here, this being the first one in a year. But he knew the would be many when he set out to be a pirate, especially when he got to the grand line and the new world. He knew Luffy needed to overcome this fear some, at least to the point that he weren't terrified.
Ace sat up with Luffy all night, even after both Luffy and Sabo fell asleep on him. Sabo sleeping on his shoulder. The thunderstorm passed some hours ago, making so it only lightly rained right now. It had been blowing a lot too, so he hope there wouldn't be any damage to the houses or things that were outside.
When Ace lightly moved, he felt Luffy stirring, slowly bringing a hand to his eyes to scratch the tiredness from them.
When Luffy looked at him, Ace gave a smile, ¨Good morning, Lu.¨ Luffy gave a nod as he stifled a yawn, making Ace chuckle. Sometimes he acted way younger than a 14 year old. Luffy then looked out the window, having a small frown. ¨Is the storm over?¨ Ace gave a nod, ¨Yes. It passed some hours ago.¨ Luffy nodded and laid back down on him. ¨That's good. I don't like storms. I hope there won't be another one.¨
Ace gave a small hum as he moved a hand to Luffys head. ¨There's always another storm. It's the way the world works. Snowstorms, rainstorms, windstorms, sandstorms, and firestorms. Some are fierce and others are small. You have to deal with each one separately, but you need to keep an eye on what's brewing for tomorrow.¨ Luffy sat up to look at him, having a small frown. ¨What do you mean 'keep an eye for tomorrow'?¨
Ace gave a smile, ¨Storms change things. Storms bring water, wind and coldness. But after every storms there's calmness. That never changes. But, when you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what these storm's are all about.¨ Luffy gave him a look. ¨How do I change?¨ Ace moved a hand to his head, ¨That's for you to decide. Either face the storm, or hide. You can walk out stronger, or weaker, it all depends.¨
Luffy gave him a look. ¨But I don't like storms…¨ Ace placed his head against Luffys. ¨The storm will always pass. And the fear is greater than the storm itself. There are some things you can only learn in a storm.¨ Luffy nodded. ¨I'll try to not be as afraid.¨ Ace gave a small chuckle. ¨It's okay to be afraid. But don't be afraid of the storm.¨ He felt Luffy nodding again, leaning against him as he relaxed. ¨How are you and Sabo not afraid?¨ Ace used a hand to caress Luffys head, looking out the window to see rays of sun peeking through. ¨Because of we want to see the sun, we have to weather the storm.¨
He saw Luffy sitting up as he looked out the window, seeing the sun coming, also the beginning of a rainbow in the distance. The kid have a nod, before he looked at him. ¨Can I go and see the rainbow with Lindsey?¨ Ace gave a nod, ¨If she's up, you can.¨ Luffy gave a smile as he ran out. He always loved rainbows, saying they were pretty.
Ace looked to his side when he heard a chuckle, seeing Sabo looking at him amused.
¨How philosophical you are today.¨ Ace gave a chuckle himself, ¨It might have worked.¨ He sent an amused look back. ¨And I can remember a certain person being as philosophical when he spoke of books.¨ Sabo gave a shrug. ¨Books are philosophical, they're books.¨
Ace gave a small laugh, ruffling Sabos hair, making him give a noise. Ace looked out the window, seeing the rainbow becoming more solid. Maybe Luffy would overcome his fear with time.
And that's the chapter, hope you enjoyed
And thunder can be scary, Luffy being afraid of that is really realistic. And of course Ace is the amazing big brother and makes everything better
