Hello everyone, here is another one shot. This is a missing scene

This is some bonding between Ace and Sabo, the latter being sick and a bit stubborn

Many have requested more of Sabo and Ace bonding and brotherly love, and here it is. And I wasn't supposed to make it with sick Sabo, but since I have managed to get sick, I decided to do it

Hope you enjoy

Read and relax

Sabo used a hand to massage his face and eyes, as they felt warm and his eyes stung some. He had felt a bit down and chilly yesterday, and he had hoped it would pass after a night of sleep, but he wasn't that lucky apparently. He felt he had a small headache, and he hoped it wouldn't get worse, they had plans for the day after all. They were going to have a small dinner with some of the villagers, and he knew Luffy was really looking forward to it, and he wanted to join in too, but the bed or couch did sound more comforting at the moment. But he didn't want to ruin it for Luffy, he was really looking forward to it, no having seen Lindsey for a while since the had been with Dadan and then at Rayleigh for some days. But Sabo could push through today, he could do that.

Sabo splashed some water in his face, before heading out of the bathroom. He didn't look too sick thankfully, maybe a bit flustered from the small fever, but that was it. When he got out in the living room, Luffy was looking really excited as he was almost running around in the living room, wanting to leave for the village now. Ace looked amused from where he sat and read his book in the couch, waiting for the clock to get a bit more before they left. Sabo walked over to the couch and sat down, going to pretend everything was fine. He could handle this for a day.

As they waited, he tried to keep himself from rubbing his eyes or massaging his face, not wanting to give it away. But he still couldn't stop himself from doing it now and then, as his eyes only started stinging more, and he could feel his fever rising. But he didn't want to disappoint Luffy, he was really looking forward to leaving. He did feel and see Ace looking at him now and then, but he never said anything, which he thought was good. He hoped he hadn't noticed. It was about an hour later that Ace stood up, handing a jacket to Luffy as it was cold, ¨Here, Lu. It's going to get cold later.¨ Luffy took it and looked really excited at him. ¨We can leave now?!¨ Ace gave a nod, ¨You can leave now, I'm sure Lindsey is already out.¨ Luffy made a sound of excitement as he went to the door. When Sabo stood up and headed to grab his jacket too, Ace stopped him.

¨Not you. We're staying here, you are obviously not well.¨

Well damn, he had hoped Ace wouldn't catch onto that. ¨I'm fine, Luffy is so excited too.¨ Ace shook his head, ¨No, you are not. And Lindsey is there, she can watch Luffy.¨ Sabo was on his way to argue, when Luffy was suddenly beside them. ¨You're not coming?¨ Before Sabo could say they were coming, Ace shook his head, giving a pat to Luffys head. ¨Sabo's sick, so we're going to stay in for today. Go say hi to Lindsey from us.¨ Luffy gave a smile, ¨I will!¨ The he gave a hug to Sabo, ¨Get better!¨ The Luffy was gone, running out the door to have his fun.

As he was gone, Sabo gave a sigh, looking at Ace, not wanting to disappoint Luffy like this. Ace shook his head as he sat down again, patting the spot beside him. ¨Don't give me that look, you know you're sick. Come sit down and relax, Luffy will be fine.¨ Without saying anything, Sabo sat down next to Ace. When he was seated, Ace looked at him. ¨Why didn't you tell you were feeling ill?¨ He said as he moved a hand to his shoulder, bringing him closer. Sabo gave a sigh, ¨I knew Luffy was looking forward to today, I didn't want to disappoint him.¨ It was no use hiding it from Ace, he would figure it out anyway. He felt Ace shaking his head, ¨You won't disappoint him by being sick. He doesn't want you to not tell you're not feeling well. And he can have fun with the others anyway. Don't push yourself to like this, it's not good.¨

Sabo gave a nod and small sound, he wanted to be there more for Luffy, not wanting to seem weak. Ace never did that. when Ace moved his hand to his forehead, Sabo gave a breath as the hand was cold, his powers making his skin cold, which felt perfect as his head felt way too warm. After some minutes, Ace moved the hand on his head, sometimes moving through his hair, which also felt good. It helped with his headache too, as it was silent, which felt good. He had a feeling he wouldn't have managed to have fun at the village, not feeling good at all, hos body aching a tiny bit too. And Ace was right, Luffy would be fine without them for a day, Lindsey was amazing and could watch him, and Luffy liked her anyway. And it had been a while since he had a day with Ace alone, to just relax. That felt good too, it felt nice. He had some small conversation with Ace, trying to relax, feeling a bit better knowing he could relax and that Ace would be here with him.

After some minutes, Sabo felt himself relaxing, and not long after, he was asleep against Ace, the cold hand helping him feel more comfortable, as well as he felt comfortable leaning against him.

He woke up with a small start later, not sure what had woken him, a bit confused as he was still feverish. But he soon heard Ace speak up in a small whisper. ¨Shhh, Lu. Sabo is still sick and sleeping, we can talk tomorrow.¨ Sabo heard some sort of noise of agreement, now also noticing he was lying on Aces lap, the hand still on his forehead, helping the fever some. He made a bit of movement, settling more as he felt comfortable, the hand moving comfortingly for a second, before stopping. Sabo felt a breath leave him when he found a good placement for his body. He was a bit surprised Luffy did stay silent, at least staying silent long enough for him to fall back asleep.

It felt nice to just relax for a day too, and he would be better tomorrow, he just needed to sleep the fever off.

And that's the chapter, hope you enjoyed

I know it might not have been my greatest chapter, but I'm kind of sick too and don't have the most energy to make anything great. I will make more of Sabo and Ace bonding later
