Hello everyone, here is another one shot, this time from Deaf
This was a request
Hope you enjoy
Read and relax
Ace walked by the deck, humming to himself as he went by, looking out at the sea and not seeing anything special. He did pass Jensen at a point and said everything was fine by the hull, he didn't see anything. As he was walking, he felt a slight tremble in the ground, before one more, probably someone who fell or something, as most were drunk. When he got to the end of the route, he turned around and headed the other way, the way he came from. And when he got to a corner and walked around it, he blinked when he saw Jensen on the deck, lying down. Had he fallen asleep? This didn't feel right, so he walked over quickly and saw Jensen was breathing harshly, and he could see something pooling around him, looking like blood. What had happened? He didn't know what to do, so he looked up and towards the main deck. "We need help!" He yelled, or he think he yelled, he hoped he did. He then tried to find the wound on Jensen, finding something that looked like a bullet wound on his side, and he moved his hands to put pressure on it, that should do something. Nothing happened for a few minutes, him yelling out again, no one probably close as it was late and most asleep.
He was startled when Thatch moved to crouch down beside him, saying something Ace couldn't read, but he looked back down at Jensen. "I don't know what happened! I just found him!" This wasn't good. Thatch then took and lifted Jensen and took off, probably to the infirmary. And when he was gone, Ace looked down at his hands, which were bloodied, and he could only stare at them, trying to make sense of this. He was startled when a hand touched his shoulder and he turned to see Marco there, who said something he didn't get, so Ace frowned and shook his head, and Marco took a breath. 'Ace,' That, he got, and he nodded, making Marco continue. 'What happened'. Ace shook his head. "I- I don't know! I was just walking when I saw him." Marco nodded, and looked bothered. 'It might be an intruder, yoi' Oh no, Ace didn't hope so, he hadn't seen anyone, and he said so to Marco, who nodded, before he went off.
Ace decided to check around, and walked around to see if he saw someone unfamiliar. Which he didn't. And after a bit, he saw people gathered in a circle and headed over, seeing Thatch there too. "Is Jensen okay?" He asked, and everyone turned to him and spoke at the same time, which had him blink. "I can't read 5 lips at the same time." He said, and Marco, who was there, held his hand up and silenced everyone, before he spoke. 'Jensen is in surgery. There was an intruder, we just got him to the prison' Ace nodded that was good. Jozu spoke next. 'How could no one notice anything '. Yes, how could they? Then he remembered something. "Wait… the tremble." He said as he thought, and Marco moved a hand to his shoulder. 'What tremble' Ace shook his head, he felt so bad. "There was this light tremble, twice." When everyone looked confused, Ace moved his hand to the railing and hit it. "Like that, but a bit harder. Twice." They nodded, before Izou blinked and took his gun out, sending a bullet to the sea, and it had him blink. That felt almost the exact same, just a bit more this time.
Then it dawned on him. It was a gunshot he felt, twice, and he had ignored it. He moved a hand to his mouth. "I… ignored it…" Marco moved his hand to his shoulder. 'No, you didn't know. Must have used a silencer as we heard nothing' Right, but he should have known. He felt so bad. The others then started to speak, so he headed away to the end of the boat and stood there, looking out at sea. He had ignored a gunshot, twice. How had he done that? He should have known. He felt so bad now, what if Jensen didn't make it? What then?
As he stood there, he didn't know for how long, a hand moved to his shoulder, and he turned to see Marco, who said something, but Ace just turned his head to the sea. A perk of being deaf, if he didn't want to speak to someone, just don't look at them. Nothing happened for a minutes, before he was in an embrace by Marco, which actually felt good, so he moved his head to lean on Marco's chest. He felt Marco say something, and he turned to see Izou talking to the left, but didn't get what he said, before he turned to look at Marco when he moved a hand to his cheek. 'Jensen will be fine, okay'. Okay, that was really good, Jensen would make it. But he still felt really bad. "I should have realized…" Marco shook his head. 'No, you couldn't have. But, you got to him in time'. That was something at least, but he still felt bad.
Ace gave a sigh. "I… shouldn't be on night watch I think." Marco sighed, and started to say he could, when Ace shook his head. "No! What if someone comes yelling and running? I can't hear that!" Marco nodded. 'Okay, let's speak with Pops about it'. Ace nodded, he wanted that. He couldn't do this.
When they spoke with Pops, and Ace told his side and that he shouldn't be on night watch, Pops gave a sigh. 'Maybe you are right, son. I do think it will go fine, but if you feel uncomfortable with it, we can keep you on day watch'. That was what he wanted, he didn't want this to happen again, and he felt so bad. Jensen had probably tried to yell out even, and he couldn't hear it. He felt so bad, and he hoped nothing like this would ever happen again.
And that's the one shot, hope you enjoyed
I hope this turned out okay
