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

Going on a long trip ( Final chapter)

After the sudden descent from the tree, the two reunited. They both set off on foot, and with the light of the telephone they illuminated the foggy road. Sabo seemed very enthusiastic as he walked down the street and glanced left and right looking at the tree's that evoked memories. While Ace looked a chill person, who had fallen into his thoughts.

As they roamed the streets through the dense forest, the trees looked like a dark lobby. As they made their way to the old village, it was almost two o'clock in the morning. That forest gave off adventure and adrenaline rush.

- Hey, Ace! Remember that challenge I told you about before?

- What is ...?

- The one who comes down first from the tree will win a prize.

- And you were the first to come down, so you can get my jacket you like so much!

- Fool! Technically you are the first to come down! - clarified Sabo, who was staring at the stars in the sky, and the half-full moon, which was made like a candlestick that illuminated the road. While Ace was watching from the ground shooting with the top of the shoe there two small pebbles. They both seemed close to each other, and inseparable. Thanks to those two pebbles, Ace remembered y / n. He remembered the time when they were both madly in love. He was trying to experience the feelings and heartbeats he felt when he was near her. But unfortunately, it seemed as if those feelings were dead and had faded like ashes, from his heart. This still plunged him into sadness and despair.

- Land for Portgas Gol D Ace !

Sabo called to him drawing Ace's attention.

- Look !

* He points the index finger at the end of the path, and shows some small lights that go off and on in the distance. *

- We are very close to our old house! Cried Sabo enthusiastically.

- Let's run there! Let's see who gets there faster. Just like in the old days!

- Mhmm! * smiled defiantly Ace * But we will run apart! * Sabo gasp *

- What do you mean?

* Sabo was trying to figure out what Ace was up to. *

- When we were little, we always wandered through the woods so that Luffy would not find us! I remember once we fell asleep under a cavity waiting for the rain to stop! Makes the night more fun, if we run through the divided forest and find the shortest way to the village. Plus that ... if you notice ... The village is at least 8 kilometers away. This way we will be able to see who finds the shortest path first!

- What are we going to do next? asked Sabo.

- We will wait for each other until we come. The meeting place is the yard of our old house!

- OK ! It's not that I have many options just to accept! *said Sabo as he let out a puff of air from his mouth.*

- I'll go left! While you right!*Ace added*

* As Ace got ready to leave, Sabo called him one last time *

- Yo Ace! One more thing!

- What ?

- We will run until we see the lights approaching. If we lose ... then we will go to the tree house we built when we were 10 years old!

* The tree house is a very visible point because it is built in the highest tree of the forest. It is like a landmark, which is located only a few kilometers away from the village.

- OK ! Win the best! *Sabo said cheerfuly*

* Sabo winked at Ace and the two started running on opposite sides towards the forest.The two of them started running on opposite sides of the road entering the tree-lined path. Unlike the road that was paved, the forest was going downhill. Both Ace and Sabo had to overcome tree roots, potholes hidden by fallen leaves, and watch out for any wild animals that might come out of the area. For Ace this did not seem to be a problem for him as he often spent the night in the woods hiding from Grandpa Garp and his fist of love. Which terrified him. Jumping into the air overcoming roots and rocks, Ace did not stop for a moment. His body warmed up, from running, jumping from the tree ... a physical activity to awaken all the senses. He had sculpted features and body and knew no fatigue. After running for 8 minutes in a row, Ace stopped in front of a stream which was passing rapidly, dividing the path into two parts, but to cross to the other side, Ace had to cross through the stream. When he was full of breath, he saw from above where the trees could be seen coming and going, and then the road.
