Figuring it Out [Whitebeard Pirates x Child? Reader]

8. Warmth

-February 10th, Part Two/ February 11th

M/n had been wrapped in several Blankets, Ace had M/ns head in his lap using his powers to hopefully help a little. Ace took a good look at M/ns face, Noticing things he hadn't before. Ace couldn't say much because every time he saw M/n he had his hood up, and his face was partially obstructed from view... M/n always looked like a Child Drug dealer. Ace laughed at the thought, earning a few curious looks from his family.

"What's so funny!" Luffy was kind of mad.

"Nothing to get angry over Jeez... I was just thinking about how different M/n looks without his hood up. See with it down he looks like a normal kid. With it up he looks like a Drugdealer!" Ace continued to giggle, Luffy joined in, now understanding what was so funny.

Marco stared down at M/n worried, Grabbing the thermometer.

"Not to warm Ace... Take the temperature down a notch-yoi" Marco murmured, Checking M/ns temperature, It was going up which was good, Marco was relieved to see his temperature climbing at a steady but not too fast rate.

"So? Good, Bad? What is it!" Haruta pressed

"Fine for now, I don't know how long he's been out there-yoi..." 

"Damn it... Ay, I knew this would happen."

Pops looked down at his wife unimpressed, "You knew? No. We both knew the lad would do something Stupid" Pops yawned, wanting to go back to sleep. He was definitely worried about M/n but was honestly too tired. The storm had quieted a little, though the wind would pick up some times. Ace sat there, leaning against the couch, How much longer was he going to have to sit there? Sure, Ace wanted to help, but his legs were tired... And Falling asleep.

Luffy stared at M/n, Where had he gone? He had looked virtually everywhere for him, then suddenly he just magically appears at their doorstep! It didn't make any sense to him...

Some time had passed and M/n was back up to normal temperature. His insides finally relaxing and not working overtime to keep him alive.  Marco had been soaking M/ns feet in a bowl of warm water, nothing hotter than 40 Degrees Celsius though. Deciding it'd be okay to start wrapping M/ns feet in gauze. Ace had fallen asleep holding M/ns head, Luffy was passed out on top of M/n despite Marco's efforts to try and keep him off of M/n. Pops and Lidia had gone back to bed upstairs... Well, more of Pops had to drag Lidia away from M/n.

Thatch was passed out in Pop's recliner with Haruta next to him. Jozu had gone to bed up in his own room. Izou decided to sleep on the love seat, just in case, and Sabo was patiently reading a book on the world.

Of course, the one time a good portion of Marco's brother's visit, Something bad happens. Sort of Ironic. Marco watched as M/n twitched in his sleep, eyes moving around. Must have been having a dream. Marco looked at Sabo, noticing the bags under his eyes.

"Sabo-yoi. Go to bed, he'll be fine..." Marco yawned

"Say that to yourself, I know he will, but it was -11 Degrees Celsius outside when he came in. and his feet were like a white-ish blue. Shouldn't it be worse?"

"...Yes... But It's safe to assume during the winter he hasn't had shoes-yoi, ... So, My guess is his feet and body, in general, have been trained to deal with the cold?" Marco sighed, "I don't know, but I do know He's stuck here until he's fully recovered." Marco frowned, knowing M/n would put up a fight.

M/n groaned a little, opening his eyes, feeling all gross and sweaty. Even though he felt sweaty he felt cold... and gross. Just Gross, no general as to what, but it was just gross. Taking in his surroundings he noticed Ace was above him, passed out. Luffy was On him, passed out. and Sabo was passed out on the other side of the couch. The house was quiet, though he could hear faint murmurs from deeper in the house. a Coffee smell drifting into the living room he was in. Ah, The adults were up.
