Read and relax
"Are you sure you want to do this? We don't need to." Ace looked at Eustass, who looked worried on his behalf. "Yeah. I mean, Mihawk knows something is up. The demons won't answer him or speak with him, because they know he's my friend, and I'm a prince. And those necklaces; they hurt." Eustass had gotten more of things to protect him against demons, and had one time forgotten about it as he put it in his pocket, and that had really hurt. And he had been close to them, before they thought he wanted space, which he didn't want. So they must be friends still, and Eustass said they were worried, but the other had also said he had asked them to be a bit away, as Ace was going through a lot right now, which was true.
Eustass looked at him. "What if they take it bad? Mihawk must have more of that necklace protection shit. Maybe even a tattoo." Ace shook his head. "Tattoos don't hurt us. I asked Marco; tattoos can hurt angels and keep demons from possessing, but just that." Eustass frowned. "Hurt angels?" Ace shrugged. "Angels can be like really mean apparently." Eustass blinked. "Okay. We need to have a long and serious talk one day; you need to tell me about all this things and what's real or not." Ace chuckled. "I will. Oh! You should meet death; he's really nice. The others aren't as nice." Eustass blinked. "Woah! Woah! The four Horsemen are real?! Aren't they just here when the world goes to hell?!" Ace shook his head. "No. They are around. Maybe you can meet him, he's old as dirt according to Thatch, and was the first thing made; before God and everything." Eustass nodded. "Huh. Cool. I also think the others are here soon. Why don't you wait in your room, while I check that they don't have any necklaces or shit?" Ace chuckled. "Can you stop saying shit? It makes me chuckle." Eustass laughed. "Never! I like it! And also, what if they react bad? Mihawk obviously have things to fend of demons." Ace chuckled. "Believe it or not, the High Lords are like really fond of me, and want to fix the misunderstanding at the start, so they are close by, some of them. Same with Marco. They're worried." Eustass chuckle. "Should have realised. Now go to your room! I saw them in the window. Sho!" Ace chuckled as he left, going to his room and closing the door.
"So, why are you hiding here?" Ace jumped, turning around with a small yelp, seeing Marco there with a raised eyebrow. "Marco! You scared me! Why are you here?" Marco chuckled. "It was the only way to keep the others out of the house, yoi. They are worried for you. Why are you here? Shouldn't you meet with your friends?" Ace chuckled, moving to sit on the bed beside Marco. "I am. But, Mihawk has gotten more of the demon protection things, and they still really hurt. So Eustass is making sure they don't have any." Marco nodded. "Make sense, yoi." Ace nodded and moved to lean against Marco, head resting on his shoulder. "I'm worried, Marco. What if they don't believe me? What if they don't like me?" He heard Marco giving a breath, hand moving to hold around him and head to be on top of his. "They are your friends, yoi. They won't stop liking you. And it's as you said; they've always wanted a demon friend. Now they have a demon that's the prince of hell friend. I'm sure it will go fine, and if not, I'm here, and the rest are close by." Ace gave a breath. It meant a lot to him that they cared so much, as he was nervous about this.
It was just a minute later that the door opened and Eustass stood there, not looking surprised to see Marco there. "Of course you're here. It's fine Ace, they said they don't have any on them." Ace nodded and stood up, going to prepare himself for this. He didn't feel anything, so he was sure Eustass spoke the truth. He gave a small goodbye to Marco as he walked out with Eustass, wondering what would happen. As soon as he was out of the hallway and a step inside the living room again, it wasn't even a second before he was engulfed in a hug by Perona. "Ace! I missed you so much!" He blinked as he moved to hug back, seeing the rest sitting in seats in the living room, Law giving a snort. "Yeah, school's not the same without you. I wished I could stop going to school." Mihawk lifted an eyebrow at Law. "Oh, drop out of school? Who's not gonna be a doctor then?" Law gave a glare back. "I am only going to school to become a doctor! Not because I like it!" Zoro and Brook rolled their eyes with Mihawk. Ace had actually missed the bickering they did.
When Perona finally let go, she moved to sit beside her brother, Ace sitting down in the sofa next to Eustass. "So," Started Mihawk. "Metal boy said you had something to tell us. And I swear, it better have something to do with the police showing up at my door and making my parents believe I have a drug addict friend or some shit. Like fuck, they searched both my and Perona's room! All because the police wanted to ask about a friend of mine. Damn overreacting parents." Perona waved her hand at him. "Ignore him. They found his stash of illegal movies, music, and just regular porn. He's just grumpy." Mihawk gave a puff. "They took my PC!" Perona shook her head. "Oh, and if mom or dad ask you; we're reading for an English test that's tomorrow, a test about the importance of commas and colons." Ace blinked. "Wait. That test was a year ago. I had that." Perona nodded. "Yes. But we hid it. So when they want proof we were reading for a test, we have a test to show." Ace blinked. "That is genius!" All of them nodded.
Mihawk sighed. "Anyhow. Acey, what the hell is going on? Why did I even need to take away my damn charm! It's just a charm! And the police incident? Why did they think someone had hurt you?" Ace sighed. "Well, you see, uh. I kinda… got stabbed? By some random dude?" All of the occupants, aside from Eustass, blinked. Zoro snorted. "Yeah, real funny Ace. But seriously, the fuck happened?" He had forgotten how much they sweared, no wonder Eustass did the same. Ace shrugged. "No, really. See, I still have the scar." Ace moved to sit a bit up, lifting his shirt and showing off the scar he had on his stomach and midriff, it being long, wide, and really showing he had been stabbed by a sharp and big knife. Law whistled. "You can't fake that. Were you kidnapped too? Police said you were gone." Ace took a breath. Well, it was now or never. "I kinda had, a few weeks prior managed to summon a devil, and kinda sold my soul, and now I'm kinda a demon myself." The occupants blinked again, Mihawk giving a snort. "Yeah, real funny. This pendant would have lit up. It only does when a demon is close. And would you see; it's not!" Ace blinked, seeing the pendant Mihawk was referring too. "Oh! No, that won't shine unless I want it too. Let's see, I was taught this." He didn't want to actually suddenly change into his demon form, so he moved his hands up and concentrated as he snapped his finger, being learned if he did that, he would get his aura to show and that was a demon thing.
He watched as the pendant started to light up, in a blinding fashion, Mihawk needing to place his hands around it as Ace snapped his fingers again, making it stop glowing. Mihawk blinked at the pendant, before at him. "Okay. How the hell!? I know you couldn't have faked that! This always work. Are you really a demon?! You look human." Ace nodded, giving a look to Eustass that nodded, Ace standing up and changing to his demon form, seeing the pendant shine through Mihawk's pocket, all of them shocked. "Holy fucking god." Said the occupants in unison. Ace stayed in his demon form for a few seconds, before turning back. "We have two forms; a human one, and demon one." Mihawk looked at him shocked. "You sold your soul and became a demon when you died?! Why the fuck won't they show up for me then!" Ace fidget a bit. "I was lucky, sorta. And, the reason for that… That you haven't gotten any demon to show. I, um, I am kind of, possibly, maybe, the prince of hell…" The others blinked. "How. How does that even work. Prince? What about the devil?"
Ace took a breath and explained how hell worked, how there had been a devil before Whitebeard, and how Whitebeard had changed it, also explaining about the high lords and how everything worked. When he was done, the others looked shocked and trying to comprehend this. "Wait wait wait. How does you automatically become the prince?! Why did the devil accept you?!" Ace tried to figure out how to tell without sounding pitiful. "I was kind of pure, and if you're pure, it won't be a demon showing up, but prince of hell will show up." Mihawk frowned. "But, you're the prince of hell! How can you make a deal with yourself?!" Ace sighed, and before he could speak, Eustass did. "Because Ace is bonded to the prince of hell. The prince took a liking to him, and Ace died so the prince bonded with him to keep him alive." Mihawk blinked, looking at Ace. "You lucky son of a brat. You're bonded with the prince of hell?! Can we meet him?!" Ace had to say he didn't see a reason not too. He looked towards his bedroom. "Marco!" He expected Marco to come walking from the bedroom, and Ace would explain how Marco was the prince and change to show it. But, Maco seemed to have a better plan and appeared in a burst of flames, in his demon form, turning to his human one after a second, making sure everyone got a look at him. "You called, yoi." Ace chuckled. "You could have just walked out of the bedroom, Marco." Marco shrugged. "If I did that, I would need to explain and show my demon form, this saves time."
He could see everyone being shocked and Ace just chuckled at them. Marco turned and looked at the others, sending a look at Mihawk. "You know, your constant tries to get a demon to summon, makes my demons scared, so I would appreciate if you stop, yoi." Mihawk blinked. "Excuse me. I scare them?!" Marco hummed. "Not you in person, but the fact you're a friend of Ace, who is my mate, make them scared. They're scared of my wrath, yoi." Mihawk blinked. "Well, this is awesome. Demons are scared of me! I love my life." Ace chuckled. "They're more scared of me than you." Mihawk shrugged. "Meh, same thing. So, hows hell? Can we visit?" Ace tried to think as he looked at Marco. "Can they?" Marco hummed. "It would need to be planned, yoi. They need a shield of a kind, or else the pressure will crush their insides and make their brain drip out of their noses." Mihawk nodded. "Got it. You know, you can speak without sounding like the devil." Ace laughed. "No! You need to meet the devil! He's so kind! Marco's the mean and stern one!" All of them blinked. "The devil is kind? What's next? God is evil?" Marco hummed. "Well…" Before Marco could continue, Mihawk moved his hand out. "Oh come on! You can't be serious!" Marco just shrugged.
Ace looked at the 5 people in his living room. "So, it's okay? You don't mind me being a demon?" Mihawk blinked, and before the man could speak, Law did. "Why the hell wouldn't we be okay with it?! It's amazing!" The others nodded. "Yeah, Ace. We all missed you. We were terrified when the police came." Said Perona, and Mihawk nodded with that. "It's really cool. And as long as you're happy and fine, that good for me. This is just a huge plus. I'm friend with the prince of hell, amazing." Mihawk then blinked. "Wait. Is this the reason I couldn't use those protective shit? Because it reveals you and you wanted to tell?" Ace shook his head. "Actually no. Those things work, but it also hurt like really really bad. It feels like being stabbed in the heart over and over." Mihawk blinked. "Oh. I didn't know that. So that's the reason Eustass have been throwing my charms away." Eustass nodded. "Yah. I've known for a while. Also, you should ask about Luffy and Sabo."
Mihawk blinked. "Ace usually doesn't like that." Ace gave a breath. "I met them. They're not in hell, but heaven. But Marco managed a meeting. They are really happy. Just that makes me glad. And I know they weren't in pain; they died in their sleep." Ace had been worried his brothers had burned to death or chocked and been in pain, but that wasn't the case. Mihawk blinked. "That is amazing! Even I'm glad by that! Luffy was a bit of airheaded for my taste, but Sabo was awesome." Ace chuckled. That was true, Luffy was a bit airheaded, but Ace still loved him so much. Marco then hummed as he looked at the occupants. "So. Who would like to meet some high lords, yoi? A few of them are close by." Zoro stood up. "Yes! Get them here! It sounds so awesome!" The others agreed, and Marco did a small motion with his hand and some of the high lords appeared, all of them in their demon form. He could remember it being Thatch, Izou, Haruta, and Rakuyo. They stayed a bit in their demon form before changing to their human one. The occupants started to look at them and ask a lot of questions, really interested in this. As they were busy with that, Eustass punched him in the arm. "See. Told you it would go fine." Ace nodded, giving a smile to the other. "Yeah, you did. Thanks for being here." Eustass chuckled. "Don't be cheesy. I will always be by your side." Ace chuckled, feeling happy when Marco moved to him and moved an arm around him, leaning onto him. Just glad things was fine, the others was fine with him being like this, and was still his friends. It meant the world to him.
Ace was happy. Everything was somehow fine, he felt happy.
