My Best Friend's Hot Brother // ( Ace × Reader)

A new chapter in our life's (part 2)

Author's pov:

Ace was remembering the time when he and Isuke started getting to know each other. Two weeks after they dated the park, they confessed their feelings to each other and made it official. Everything seemed to be going well and they seemed to be made for each other, until things started to look off. The scenes of jealousy were almost permanent. Because Isuka could not stand even a girl to pass in front of Ace. Although Ace respectively tried to avoid contact with other women in order not to provoke any conflict ,again Isuka would find a ridiculous reason to start a fight between them. After 5 months, Ace, with Sabo's advice, decided to cut off contacts with Isuka, as soon as the latter became part of the Navy and left.

End of flashback

- How stupid I was then! Ain't i, Sabo?

Ace asked as he wiped his nose with the sleeve of his leather jacket.

- It was not your fault that she was not mentally stable! You did your best! (Sabo says as he puts his hands in his pockets and looks in the direction of the forest. The cold breeze blew on their faces, causing their hair to fly in opposite directions.

- Heh ...
(ace puts the palm of his left hand on the surface of the eyes. At first sight, he looked like he was smirking, but actually such a laugh made it clear, that he was crying in guilt for the death of his ex . It's too much for a boy like him to face something like that .
Apparently during the explosion at the school, in addition to the fact that there were many injured, there were also victims. Ace's ex-girlfriend, died in that explosion, because she did not manage to get out of the building in time. The news that is very shocking for him and he experienced it very badly. The news was shocking for the rest of the group too , who discovered that she was hiding behind the fire, and y/n's injury. While this situation aggravated them more on Ace's shoulders. He is already suffering from the fact that y/n lost her memory. The only solution for him to cope with this pain that was consuming his soul more and more every day, is to lock himself in those four walls of his room, day and night.)

Sabo noticed tears falling on Ace's smooth cheeks, like streams of water. The poor guy felt as if he did not deserve to breathe when two people were suffering. One was dead and the other lost her memory.

- I have never felt so hopeless ever in my life! I feel completely empty man... (sniff, sobs)

Sabo slowly approached his brother who did not stop crying.

- Do not do this to yourself, brother! Luffy and I are close to you every moment you breathe. Please do not think that we have forgotten you! We love you with all our heart and soul! But please , stop making yourself responsible for Isuka's death. Life goes on . I know it's very difficult for you, but at least try to stay close to y / n! Remember how the doctor said: Memory loss takes time to recover, even years! If you both ... re-experience those beautiful moments together ... it will be great! Ace ...
(Sabo puts his hand on Ace's shoulder) The best medicine for both of you is time. You both need each other! I know you know.

- And how ... can I bring back the time I spent with her, when she does not even look at me !?

- This is because you ignore it! You are afraid to look her in the eye because you feel guilty. (ace stopped crying and removed his hand from his eyes)

- You are right! I dare not look her in the eye, because I have caused her a lot of pain! Every time I met her in the corridors of the hospital, a sting passed through my heart ... because I felt without touching her, that in her eyes I was just a stranger ... But deep down, I feel as if ... if she ... she would not have lost ... her memory ... it would not make a difference because she would hate me again and again! I betrayed her trust and broke her heart! What kind of person am I ?!
