Chapter 5 Realization

Ace runs as fast as he can as he held Luna close to him to keep her warm. In the distance he can see a shadow. I wonder what that is? As he got closer a smile swiped across his face. I can't believe my luck. I hope who ever home is friendly. As he got closer he saw that it was a small run down shack. Ace banged on the door but the door open to reveal that no one is home. I looked around only to see that the people who use to live here abandoned the shack very quickly. As they walked in the floor boards squeak a bit from not being used. Ace closed the door behind him and placed Luna on a rocking chair near the old fireplace. I looked around to see that there was a bed in a corner with blankets neatly placed on the bed, the table looked like people were eating but stopped and left in a hurry due to the moldy food still on the plates, there is a stack of wood and to his luck and also kindle, and a cupboard that is now only homes to spiders. Ace quickly started a fire to warm this place up. I turned to check on Luna and she looks so life less sitting there with her wet jacket. She couldn't be de.. She can't. I can feel that I'm completely dry from my devil fruit but the snow has melted on Luna leaving her soaked. I held my breath as I felt a pulse on her cold skin. Come on. I know you are their! Their it is! I felt a small and week one but there is one! Know what! I know she has hypo…hypoth something! Hypothermia! What do I do! I see her shiver and I nervously rattle my brain for answers. Come on brain! Buddy don't fail me now! I know, She wet and cold so I have to remove her wet clothing. A small blush crept across my face but I shake it off. I can't let her die. She too important to me. Ace removed her jacket, shirt and pants and hangs them over the extra chairs. She lay there in her matching red bra and panties. I started pacing across the room scratching my brain in frustration. I stop pacing because I just remember what Natile said to me when I was still captain. My navigator got the same thing and I just wanted to heat him up and get out of there. Thank god I didn't! What did she say? Her voice came to mind.

"Ace you can't just heat them up like that. You could put them into shock and kill them. Especially with your power. You have to wrap them up in a warm blanket and heat up there torso first! You have to cuddle with them close to a normal body temperature and wait till there body heats up. You can't rub there skin either. If they shiver again that's a good sign to! Ace are you listing. This could save their life." Her voice faded away and Ace removed his warm shirt and pants leaving him in his orange boxers doing what his nurse says. See I pay attention. He gave Luna his pant and shirt even though they were super big on her. Now this is the hard part! I have to lower my body temperature but I haven't don't that in forever. I have to do it. I will not take no for an answer. Ace closed his eyes and took deep even breaths. I can do this. He reopened his eyes and hoped that he did it. His body feels the same and can't feel any different. Unknown to him he successfully did lower his temperature. He picked her up out of the chair and carefully place her on the bed. He grabbed the blankets and lay them gently over her. He crawled under with her and place the extra blanket he could fine and place them on top. He closed his eyes again and concentrated on not getting to hot. He worriedly grab Luna lifeless body and brought her closer to him. He wiped off the blood on her forehead and moved her hair out of the way to see if anything looks damage. I don't notice anything other than a bump. I am no nurse so I hope she ok. He started to feel her shiver in his arms and smile cross his face. It's working. He can feel her small breath on his neck.

"That's right, Luna shiver for me. I'm here. I won't let you die. Its ok". He said whispered words of encouragement as he held her close. Ace looked down to see that her lips weren't blue anymore and her skin looks better. He held her closer and kiss her forehead. As he pulled away from her forehead he realized something and looked down at her with sad loving eyes.

"You know Luna I just realize something. You have no idea how important you are too me. You are always looking out for me and you never treated me any different after you found out who my father was. When you fell into my arms when Akainu attacked Luffy and I... I was so worried. Please you can't leave me!" He whispered this to her even though he knew that she can't hear him. Ace was so scared that he may lose her that he holds her closer. He is so afraid that if he let go she may die on him like last time. He remembered sitting and waiting in Laws sub as she and Lu was in surgery. He held in the tears that were slowly growing in his eyes. An arm wrapped around his torso by surprise. He looked down and Luna groggy green eyes look up into his black orbs. Her eyes are hazy and tiered but are looking up into his.

"Ace where are we and what happen"? Ace watches as she looks around confused then she looks down and sees she is wearing my shirt and looks up with a blush. I smile down at her, happy to see she is awake and oh how cute she looks blushing.

"I found you buried in the snow because of the storm outside. You had hypo something and I found this abandon shack". I felt as Luna curled in to my side and I felt her shiver.

"Still cold"? She just nodded and buried into my side. I am so relieve that she woke up.

"Ace you are not as warm as usual? Are you ok"? I look down at her with astonishment. She worried about me even though she almost.. She was buried in snow, cold as ice, and soaked to the bone and yet she is worried about me. What a women.

"I'm fine. You should worry more about yourself. I cooled down a bit because I didn't want to damage your skin". I added a little more heat and she hummed in pleasure. I smiled and gently slide my hand up her arm and back. Good her hair and skin are dry! I raise my body heat now that she out of the danger zone. I watch as she smiled and zoned out to sleep. I watch her breathing as it evenly comes out and it sounds a lot better. Luna placed her head on my chest and I lightly chuckled. Is that vanilla I smell on her and defiantly the ocean? I slowly fall asleep to rhythm of her breathing and the smell of vanilla mixed with the ocean. I held her as I slip into dream land knowing that she ok.

There you go my readers the next chapter! I know Ace was a bit mushy but I thought it worked for the story. Ok so for the next chapter I need you the readers opinion. I would like to know if I should keep it at T or move it up too M. Write your comments and let me know! All characters go to the great Oda! Until next time.
