Anadiangelo's prompt: ASL studying for a test or de stressing after one?

For anadiangelo (on Tumblr) because they have a test and need cute de-stressing ASL brother fluff! This also fills out the requirement for ASLbrosweek's Day 8: How Do You AU?

So I must give Ana all my thanks for kicking my butt into gear so that I could write something! It'd ended up being less cute than I thought it was gonna turn out, but oh well!

(Luffy is ADHD here because I'm 90% sure he is in the show and manga as well. When he wakes up in Alabasta after taking down Crocodile is a perfect example.)

Normally Luffy didn't trudge, but today of all days he was trudging home after a grueling set of finals. Normally he'd get accommodations, extra time and a quiet room, but today he didn't and so he was forced to sit with a group of 30+ other students.
The sound of pens scratching across paper had been hellish on his ADHD, and by the end of the testing period for his first final he had been nearly tearing at his skin.

The rest of the day went downhill from there, sure Luffy managed to finish his finals properly. But the sheer anxiety that he had gone through while taking the tests had frayed at his nerves until he felt weary to his bones. Which was why he was currently
trudging home, messenger bag over a shoulder.

He wanted to get home and lay down, he didn't even feel like his normal bouncy self. Even the thought felt like blasphemy, his brothers would be horrified when they saw him like this. The only good thing about being this tired was that his brain was slowing
down from it's normally dizzying pace.

When Luffy reached the apartment building he lived in he relaxed a bit, he was going to be home soon. He'd be able to lie down in his bed and let his brain empty of the day. He went over the idea a few times in his head as he got in the elevator and opened
the door to the three bedroom apartment he shared with both Ace and Sabo.

"Ace, Sabooo, I'm hooome..." Luffy let the words drip from his lips, the words heavy with the sluggishness he felt. He locked the door behind him and entered the living room, deciding to forgo his bed, Luffy flopped onto the couch. He plopped his head
onto Sabo's lap, letting a loud whiny sound slip from his lips as he closed his eyes, finally able to relax.

Sabo lifted the newspaper slightly, an eyebrow raised as he quickly inspected his little brother for injuries, it didn't happen often but sometimes his brother would come back hurt because of a fight he got into. Luffy didn'tlookhurt, so why was he acting
so childish. "Ace," Sabo called his eyes still on Luffy, "something's wrong with Lu."

Ace who had been in the kitchen getting dinner ready, was almost instantly at his younger brothers' sides. A comforting hand was placed on the smaller raven's shoulder, and Ace crouched down, allowing Luffy to grab onto his shirt. The action in and of
itself spoke volumes of how stressed Luffy was, he hadn't done it in a couple years. "Hey Lu, what's wrong?"

Luffy turned and pressed his face into Sabo's thigh, sighing a bit as he tried his best to compose himself. "You two know I had my finals today yeah?" He felt more than saw the nods of agreement so he continued, "well I wasn't given accommodations today
and I was stuck in the classroom with the rest of the students, and it was tooloud... Well, by the end of he day I was ready to scream. I felt like my nerves were being sawed at by every noise made in that room."

Both of the older men flinched at the statement, even though Luffy was a hyperactive brat most of the time; he was, for the most part, pretty level headed. So what had happened sound like it could have been a breaking point. Breakdowns were bad for Luffy,
their black hole of a brother refused to eat when he couldn't hold it together. Which wasreallybad considering the speed at which Luffy's body burned food up.

"Well," Sabo drawled slowly, "finals are over for you, and it's almost summer. So you won't have to think about classes soon enough. Do you just wanna cuddle for now?" At the nod of agreement, Sabo scooted over dragging Luffy half into his lap, and Ace
pulled his feet up into his lap. And they all stayed silent for a while, ejoying each other's company. Finally Luffy could relax, he was safe at home with his big brothers, they could hold him together until he put the pieces back in place. Together,
they unwound.
