Hello everyone, here's another one shot. This is a missing scene
Ace have done and seen a lot of horrible things from a young age, no surprise that things like that leads to nightmares. And in the early years, the one source of comfort was a certain red eyed man
I know I'm a bit late, but fell a bit behind schedule form being sick and the fact I'm still not completely back to normal again

Read and relax
Ace felt himself starting up as the nightmare disappeared from his mind. He was panting and sweating, an emotion of fear lingering in the front of his mind. He couldn't grasp what he had been dreaming about, but whatever it was making him look around his room in fear and apprehension, feeling the darkness and silence settling in and Ace really not liking that at the moment. Ace threw a look around his room, before slowly slipping out of the bed and carefully walking across the room and out the door to the hallway, starting to walk down it in silence. Hoping he wouldn't run into anyone.
He had been having some nightmares now and then the last few weeks, but felt like a child most time when he reacted to them. He is a kid still, a bit over 12 only, but he felt as if he shouldn't react to a stupid nightmare, especially since he couldn't remember what it was about, only that it really unnerved and started him. He knew he wouldn't be judged for being a kid now and then, at least he hoped he wouldn't. Azuruko often let him be himself if he didn't need to act different, something he liked.
As he walked down the hallway, he heard someone else also walking and stopped for a second, not wanting to run into others, but he was almost at his destination. And he did also need to get enough confidence to possibly wake the man up too. But as he halted for a second, he soon saw a familiar person walking the other direction, only sending him a look with a smile. When he was past Ace, he heard the man speak. ¨Azuruko is awake, so just walk in.¨ Ace blinked, before sending a look over his shoulder at Daisuke, who continued walking. Ace gave a sheepish smile as he continued walking again, not realising he was as obvious as he were.
When he did get to Azurukos room, he didn't knock as he just walked in, knowing he was awake.
When he did get inside the room and closed the door behind him, he saw Azuruko sitting in his bed, reading a book. When he saw Ace, he gave a smile. ¨Ace, how are you?¨ Ace gave a small smile as he walked over to the bed and sat down next to Azuruko. ¨I'm fine, just couldn't sleep.¨ A hum was heard. ¨Nightmare again?¨ When Ace didn't answer, he felt a hand coming to his head, threading through his hair carefully. ¨It's okay to have nightmares, Ace. And speaking about it can help.¨
Ace didn't say anything as he leaned more down to rest with his head in Azurukos lap, the hand continuing to thread through his hair. Ace just enjoyed it, looking at the book he read, something about dragons he believed. After some minutes, Ace gave a small sigh. ¨I don't know. The nightmare, I don't remember it. I just was… afraid.¨ He hears a hum as the hand moved to his neck, massaging it, making him realise he was stiff. ¨That's normal. Nightmares often brings fear, even if you don't remember why. Just remember it's a dream, not reality.¨
Ace gave a small nod. ¨I don't like it, nightmares.¨ Said Ace in a low voice. He hated nightmares, it did sometimes keep him from sleeping, not wanting to have another one. Azuruko gave a small sigh, the hand moving back to his head to thread to bus hair comfortingly. ¨There are many who don't wish to sleep for fear of nightmares. Sadly, there are many who don't wish to wake for the same fear.¨ Ace gave a nod. Azuruko usually always knew what to say and do to make him calm down and understand he wasn't different or childish.
After some more time, the hand moved to his back, stroking it, making him give a breath. Azuruko gave a small hum as he turned the page. ¨Relax now, you need the energy.¨ Ace did gave a nod, but not closing his eyes, keeping them open as he didn't want to sleep yet. He continued to read the book Azuruko also was reading, just taking the comfort from the man and relaxing from the hand stroking his back.
This was what he needed now, just being able to relax. Not sleeping, but relaxing.
And that was the chapter, hope you enjoyed
And who wouldn't have nightmares after everything Ace have been through, even though he's only 12. Nightmares are horrible, especially those one don't remember
