Hello everyone. This is a new series
This will be one shots from all my fics that I make, except AoS, since it already has one. It can be anything from any one of them, either a missing scene I just mentioned, a hole I didn't fill, or events after the fic. It will be ideas and scenes I either had while writing and didn't or couldn't include for some reason, or ideas from after the fic was done.
I know I have been late in my other updates, but I am slowly getting back to my regular writing self. I am just writing things I want to do for now now, which made this series come to life
All your ideas are very much welcome, I love inputs and I love to make what others want too
For this story: This is a scene from Suicidal, after the fic was ended and I mentioned Sabo was unsure of being close to Ace since he felt he hogged Ace from Marco, but did feel better after the movie night. This will be Sabo getting his confidence up to speak to Marco about those thoughts.
Hope you enjoy
Read and relax
Sabo let out a breath, not sure he could do this. After the movie night three nights ago, he felt better, but still worried and nervous. He had mentioned this to Dr Trafalgar yesterday, and he had said to speak to Marco, saying that Marco was an understanding man and it would go fine. The man wouldn't be mad. It had made him feel a bit more courageous. Sabo knew thatTrafalgar knew Marco to some extent because of Ace. He also knew Marco was in his office, not having too much to do, the reason he tried to get himself to do this.
After a second, he took a deep breath, holding it in for a few seconds, before breathing out, clearing his mind from the worst thoughts, before he lifted his hand and knocked at the door. Just a second later, he heard Marco speak up. "Come in, yoi." Well, Sabo had prepared for this, and he took one last breath before he opened the door and walked in.
"Sabo, what brings you here, yoi? Everything okay?" was the first thing Sabo heard as he closed the door behind him, him giving a small shake of his head as he sat down in a chair at the other side of Marco's desk. "N-no. I just… I need to ask about something…" When he didn't continue, Marco gave a supporting look. "What is it? I am always here, as is everyone. Does that concern you or Ace? Or something else, yoi?" Well, this was it. "Sorta me… and Ace… I just…." a sigh, needing a break to speak, seeing Marco keeping the comforting look, making him able to continue. "Do I… do you feel I'm stealing Ace… from you?" There, he said it.
Marco got a puzzled look for a second, looking at him. "I don't follow you, Sabo. What do you mean, yoi? You've done nothing to make me even think anything close to it." Sabo took a shaky breath, hoping he wouldn't need to explain more, but he needed to do it, he had come this far. "I mean…" One last deep breath. "I just, he's your boyfriend. And he's around me so much… and I don't want to make you mad… or Ace mad… and I don't know what to do." Sabo took a few deep breaths when he was done, needing it to keep his emotions and tears at bay.
Marco got a more understanding look, standing up and heading over to him, making him more unsure, not liking this. He was already fighting a losing battle with his tears. When Marco was next to him, he crouched a bit down, a hand on Sabo's leg. "Listen, Sabo. You are not stealing Ace from me, and I don't think you are either, yoi. You are best friends, a friend Ace needed and still needs. No matter if you are together for days, I will never think that. The only thing I think when you're together is, I'm really glad Ace has as good of a friend as you, just as I'm glad you have a good friend like Ace. I've also noticed you've been a bit distant to Ace, is this why?"
When Marco started at the friends part, he lost the battle with his tears, relieved Marco didn't think that or was mad. "Y-yeah… I didn't want to make you mad…." Marco shook his head, moving his hand comfortingly on his leg. "I will never be mad about something like that. You two are so great for each other, yoi." Sabo took a shaky breath, keeping a small sob inside, moving a hand to dry his tears a bit, and Marco moved his hand to Sabo's arm, moving the hand in a comforting way. "How long has this been on your mind, yoi? You seem really bothered by this." Sabo took a deep breath, needing it to speak. "A- a couple weeks… I just… I don't know… this voice said it…Keep saying it..."
Marco moved his hand to Sabo's face at that, wiping a tear away as Marco was sure Sabo looked at him, Marco having a worried look. "I'm not mad at you, or think you're doing anything wrong, yoi. Have you told Trafalgar about this voice? Or Curiel?" Sabo shook his head a bit. "N-no… just that I was… nervous to Trafalgar." Marco gave a nod to him. "Listen. I think you should tell this to Curiel now. It's not a good sign, and I only want what's best for you, yoi. We all love you. I can also join you, but you need to tell someone, okay?" Sabo gave a nod, feeling a bit more composed, but his eyes hurt a bit now. "I- I will… and… I would like you… there, if you can that is…." Marco smiled and rubbed his leg a bit. "Of course. Why don't we head now, yoi? I know Curiel isn't busy." Sabo gave a small nod, needing and wanting to do it now.
When they got to Curiel's room, and he, with the help of Marco, told what had been bothering him, Curiel looked worried too. "You've been on your new medication for a month now, right?" Sabo nodded, not sure why that was important. Curiel nodded, giving a comforting look to him. "That is a sign of depression, an early one. Your body has gotten used to the dosage now, and this is a sign we need to up it a small bit. As Trafalgar probably have said, your body needs a week to take up the medication, and the first effect can be amplified until your receptors get used to it. This is normal, okay?" Sabo blinked. "R-really?" Curiel nodded. "Yes. A voice in your head telling you to not be with someone you like, is not good. Why don't we start with one extra tablet? And see how it goes?" Sabo wasn't too sure about it, that a bit higher dose would help, but he didn't want to say no. He knew Curiel was a good doctor, and nodded to it.
Curiel then gave a smile and told him to go and take an extra pill now, and do so the next week to see if it helped, while he called Trafalgar. Sabo did, not sure if it would work, but he didn't want to make anyone mad.
But, 5 days later, the voice slowly disappeared, making Sabo shocked. Curiel had been right. When he asked Dr Trafalgar about it, the doctor said voices like that were a depression sign, and to always mention it, never be scared to tell to him, or Curiel. Or, Marco as he had. Sabo would remember that.
He told both Curiel and Marco that they were right, and he felt better, making them glad. And, 3 days after he started feeling better, he was going on a small outing with Ace; they were just walking in the woods close by, Ace looked at him with a big smile. "I'm glad we're doing this! I thought you were bored of me since you avoided so many other things." Sabo gave a sheepish smile, feeling a but guilty. "I know, I'm sorry. I just had a small down period." Ace gave him a clap on his shoulder, a bit of a smile as they walked together. "We all have those. I'm just glad you're back to normal! I really like you." Sabo smiled at that. feeling the same.
He was glad he had gotten a family.
And that's the chapter, hope you enjoy
To this one shot, depression can manifest in different ways, and some voice telling you to stay away from friends, is a big warning sign. One can also have a great effect from the medication, but after a month or couple months on it, the body gets used to it and it settles down, which can show the dosage was too low, and it needs to be tweaked. It is really important to speak to a professional about things like this, getting help is important
As I said at the start, I would love ideas from you, and as always, I love feedback and it is what keeps me going
I hope everyone have a good day
