Unexpected Reunion

Bigger Reunion; [3]

==========================

The new arrivals remained frozen in shock, not one person being able to move.

Sure they've all seen Ace alive, but that didn't prepare them to see their dead loved ones like this.

The current residents seeing the conflict the new arrivals were going through decided to initiate their reunion. Each one walking towards their specific loved one.

Holy fuck.

Marcos was still in disbelief, his mind knew this was really happening but his heart just wouldn't accept it.

Marco felt like he was high on some kind of drug. His feelings were all over the place, he felt euphoric and at the same time somber.

His pops, Thatch and Izou stood in front of him smiling brightly at him. All of them pretty happy to see Marco again.

He felt like he was having another dream? Nightmare? Ahhh! Who cares. This just didn't feel that real.

It's like the realization of whats happened since the beginning finally set in.

He stared at all of them with a blank face. His body stood like a statue, not moving at all.

They all stood there in silence. Not a single person spoke.

The three infront of Marco became slightly nervous due to the lack of response from the pineapple man.

The said man finally sighed after what felt like hours and pinched the bridge of his nose, a slight fond smile playing on his lips.

"I'm too sober for this-yoi" he muttered underneath his breath and the three infront of him laughed and came closer to him.

Marco smiled as he brought Thatch into a tight hug, crushing the man's bones.

He knew he was acting out of character but for some reason, he couldn't help it.

Thatch wheezed out, trying to escape Marcos grip, but failed.

Marco eventually let go of Thatch and moved onto Izou and hugged him as well.

Lastly he moved towards his pops who was towering over him with a proud smile. Marco went into his hybrid form and flew onto his pops shoulder and settled there just like he used to. A wave of nostalgia washing over him as he leaned into his pops neck.

Marco was smiling brightly and couldn't help but sigh as he was near his family again. He had really missed them.

He quickly wiped the few tears that had gathered at the corner of his eyes at finally seeing them. Hoping no one noticed him do so.

Ace soon joined them as well, and they had a pretty sweet family reunion.

Some weights were lifted off of Marcos shoulders, even if it was for a moment, just by seeing them alive.

He was happy, he couldn't had asked for more.

If this was a dream, he hoped he never woke up because right now, in this moment, he felt content with his life.
