Sabo frowned as he looked at him. "What's that on your arm?" Ace blinked, looking at his arm, and there was blood seeping through his sleeve. Ace moved a hand to cover it, hoping Sabo would push the matter. "N-nothing." Sabo frowned more. "No, it's something. What is it?" Ace shook his head, on his way to say nothing, when Sabo reached for his arm, and Ace did his best to avoid it, and soon, they were in a wrestle fight, rolling on the ground as Ace tried to hide his shame, he knew what he was doing was wrong, but he couldn't let Sabo find out about it. But after 10 minutes, Sabo managed to sit on his back and pinned him to the ground, moving to grab his arm and rolling his sleeve up. Ace closed his eyes, he didn't want Sabo to find out. "What is this! You're hurt!" Ace shook his head a bit. "It's nothing." He heard a disbelieving sound from Sabo. "No, this is a bad cut. How did it happen? ...why do you have many cuts? ...Ace… are you… harming yourself?"
Ace shut his eyes tightly, shaking his head. But before he could speak and deny it, Sabo spoke again. "No! This doesn't look like an accident! Why do you have so many scars!" Ace shook his head. "I- I didn't mean to…" Sabo gave a small sound. "Ace… you can't do this. Why are you doing it!" Ace shook his head, feeling tears threatening to fall. He felt Sabo moving off him, sitting down beside him and Ace sat up as well, rolling his sleeve down. "I- I didn't mean for you to find out…" Ace had thought he could hide this. He had for so long, almost half a year. Sabo gave a worried look to him. "Why are you doing this?" Sabo sounded calmer, which was good. Ace took a breath. "I- I don't know…" Sabo shook his head. "No, you do. Why are you doing this?" Ace shook his head, moving a hand to his chest. "Because, it helps with the pain I feel here…" Sabo gave a worried look. "You… it helps with the pain in your chest? How?" Ace shook his head. "I don't know, but it helps. ...I'm sorry…" Sabo shook his head. "No no, I should have realised you were hurting. Wait here!" Sabo then ran off, and Ace moved his legs to his chest. He felt so low right now.
After a couple minutes, Sabo came back and moved to drag his sleeve up again, and Ace just let him do it. He didn't want to fight anymore. He didn't look up from his legs, not until he felt something cold on his arm and moved to look, seeing Sabo had grabbed a marker, a blue one, and was making some sort of shape with it. "Here, don't kill it. Don't kill the butterfly." Ace blinked when Sabo was done and had made a butterfly, before he made another, and another, and another. After half an hour, he had a bunch of them on his arms. It made him feel tears in his eyes, so glad Sabo was as supporting as he was. He was sure Sabo would be mad at him, but he only seemed worried. "There," said Sabo when he was done. "Don't kill them, I hope they will last for a long while." Ace hoped that himself, but it was just a marker, it would fade.
Sabo then leaned in and hugged him, and Ace embraced it, feeling a tear falling, but he quickly dried it away. Sabo then gave a breath. "You need to tell Luffy." Ace shook his head. "No, I-" Sabo shook his head, letting go of him. "Yes, you need to. You can't hide this. If you won't, I will. I will even tell Garp, Dadan, and Makino if I have to." Ace felt worried with that, he didn't want to disappoint anyone. Ace gave a breath. "I'll try… okay?" Sabo nodded. "You do that." Sabo then leaned in for another hug, and Ace hugged back. He loved Sabo so much, he was such an amazing brother.
