Ace Didn't Mean To Summon Satan's Child

Chapter 8: Epilogue

Ace and Marco were standing, holding hands in the middle of a familiar parking lot.

They had waited to tell Luffy and Sabo that Ace had become a demon; Ace needed to practice his disguise spell. Marco refused to let him come to Earth until he had mastered it. The last time, the spell had disappeared during the day and Marco had cast it again without telling Ace.

Two months after his rebirth as a demon, Ace had finally received permission to visit his brothers. Marco arranged everything, called Sabo and told him that he was going to come and see him and Luffy after the bar was closed.

"Are you ready? " Marco asked.

"I don't know. I'm excited, but I'm afraid of their reactions," replied Ace. "I mean, what if... "

Marco cut him by taking his head in his hands and kissing his forehead, then he took Ace in his arms. "They are your brothers, they love you human or demon. »

Ace nodded, took a deep breath and walked towards the front door. In ten years the bar hadn't changed, Ace noticed that the walls had been repainted and the back wall was covered with picture frames. The only picture he could see was the one in the middle, a little larger than the others, which showed Ace, Luffy and Sabo in front of the restaurant on opening day.

Talking about his brothers, they were both chatting at the bar; Sabo was washing glasses, and Luffy was on the other side leaning against the bar.

When he heard the door open, Sabo didn't look up right away, thinking that only Marco was there. "Hey Marco. So why... "Sabo dropped the glass he was wiping, and stopped talking when he saw who had just entered "Ace? "He whispered.

Luffy, as for him, did not remain silent, he shouted " ACE ! " And threw himself into his arms.

Sabo quickly recovered from the shock and hurried to join his brothers.

Marco remained in retreat, and observed the scene in front of him. He could barely see Ace, so Sabo and Luffy held him tight. When they separated, the three had tears in their eyes.

"I can't believe it, you're really here." Sabo said

"And you're a demon too" Luffy added.

Ace laughed "And I can't believe you're a dad now, Sabo. And that you travelled in the entire world" Ace smiles more than ever at Luffy.

"I ate a ton of food" Luffy responded

"I will make sure that you met Mary and Sam" Sabo promised

Ace smiled, and tears of joy ran down his cheeks. "Fuck guys, I missed you so much," he murmured as he took them in his arms.

After the hug was over, Marco stroked Ace's back, kissed him and let him enjoy some time with his brothers alone.

The three brothers began to tell each other about their lives, Ace explained how he had become a succubus, and how he had adjusted to the situation.

Sabo showed him pictures of his children and told him all the nonsense they were doing, Ace laughed and reminded Sabo that he had not been wiser at their ages. Ace was also touched when Sabo told him how Marco was behaving with the two children. He even showed him a picture where Marco had been completely made up by Sam, and had his hair done by Mary.

Luffy told Ace about his travels around the world, all the countries they had visited, all the friends he had made there, and all the food he had eaten. He would be leaving soon to visit some of his friends who had decided to move.

They talked as long as they could; Sabo still had to go home to his family.

When Ace came home, Marco was waiting for him while reading a book, and he looked up when he heard the door open.

"Hey Ace. So how was it ?"

"It was great. Sabo told me about his kids and Luffy about his travel " Ace answered, he took his phone and showed it to Marco " And look what Sabo sent me."

Marco's eyes widened in fright when he saw the picture of Mary and Sam doing his makeup and hair. Ace burst out laughing when he saw the look on Marco's face.

"Yeah, laugh all you want while you can. We will see what they'll do the next time Sabo will ask us to babysit."

A month later Marco had a new wallpaper on his cell phone.

Note: I wanted to write about Ace seeing his brothers again, but I had no idea. Of course, it was only when I posted the last chapter that I got inspiration. I hope you enjoyed this little extra chapter.
