Marco POV
I find myself amused by Ace's jealousy over Law. It was too tempting to tease him a little bit by letting my desire for Ace show in my expression. I just didn't expect him to pass out on me again like that. I gave a small sigh, and Sanji walked through the curtain only pausing a moment at seeing Ace snoring on the table.
"Why am I not surprised? Well at least it's a table this time, and not in the middle of walking down the steps. That was a nightmare."
"What?" My eyes widened at the information and I glanced over at Ace in worry."
"Oh, sometimes when this happens he ends up in a decent amount of danger. I lost count how many times he accidentally got hurt because he didn't get even a second of warning to try and alter the course of his fall. Anyways, he always bounces back. What do you want to eat? I will just make Ace one of his favorite dishes."
Not knowing what to really say back I shrug, "anything is fine with me, maybe something with fruit."
"Alright, something with fruit coming right up." Sanji grinned, before leaving again.
By the time Ace began to wake back up, I had gone through a dozen different thoughts. The main one being something I was trying to not think about. The one about my dad. I glanced up as Ace groaned, and I smiled at his small pout.
"Awh and that was such a good atmosphere. Well, sort of. Maybe not for a public restaurant." Ace chuckled, and I nearly smiled at his words. But the thoughts had already taken hold of me again and I simply managed a sigh. Ace looked at me with a worried expression, one I couldn't lie to.
"My dad is dying." The words were choked out, and I watch as Ace flinches in shock before he reaches out and takes both my hands in his.
"I am so sorry. Marco, I will be here for you so please if you need someone to talk to or cry on then come to me. I don't care what time it is." The strong feeling of caring and understanding coming from Ace, and his eyes, nearly had me shaking. I felt my heart racing as I nodded in agreement, unable to do much else.
