My Brother's Keepsake (Sabo x Reader)

Chapter Fifteen: A Warning

"I don't want to leave." Sabo said holding on to a blanket on your bed even though it was already late.

Honestly, you didn't want him to leave either, but you were still sleeping in different rooms, so it was not ideal for him to stay longer in your room with Rouge sleeping there.

"Get out of here, go." You ordered.

He gave a small whine in protest but you pushed him out of the bed. "Come on, please just move in with me." He asked.

"Not yet."

"Please...my pretty mermaid princess?"

A cheesy line like that, it was crazy that it got you, and you felt yourself blushing needlessly as you failed to hide it.

"Oh? Is that working?" He said turning your face back to him and making you feel the gentle touch of his hand on your face. "You should have told me if that's what you're into, you know....I can make it worth your while."

"S-stop teasing me!" You said trying to hide your face again.

"Please, Your Highness, your humble subject begs for your attention..."

"Shut up! Get out!" You attacked him with your pillow and he laughed as he slid off the bed.

"Seriously, though, you better move in soon. I don't like sleeping alone anymore now that I've got you." Sabo said before leaving.

Of course you wanted to. Sure you had reservations because you didn't want to move too fast, but your relationship with Sabo had never been a normal one. You'd been living together for over a year already, and moving into his room which was bigger and more spacious was the best choice. Perhaps it was time you thought about letting Rouge sleep alone as well as you did not want her to turn out like you.

But mostly, you really loved the idea of waking up next to Sabo every morning.

Koala returned from her mission a few days later than expected.
The next day, she came to help you with moving. Seeing as she was away when you and Sabo got together, she was positively itching for details on the encounter.

"I already told you everything like three times, Koala, what more do you want me to say?" You asked as you packed your clothes into Sabo's closet.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I'm so happy for him. I've watched Sabo-kun struggle so much with his guilt, especially when it came to you. I'm really glad that you were able to help him to start getting through everything." She said. "Besides, I have been rooting for the two of you since forever!"

"You have?"

"Of course I have. That idiot has never even looked at a girl before, and suddenly he finds someone that he's willing to do so much for, and not just out of his standard good nature. Of course I wanted you two to be together." She smiled.

You couldn't help but share her sentiment. "You know, carrying boxes and cleaning things up like this reminds me if the day that we first met.... That day though, moving was much easier because Robin-san was with us."

"Hmm, I'm going out of my way to help you and yet you are complaining? It's not my fault that Robin went with Dragon-san to observe the battlefield at Darting Island. So I'm sorry if I'm not good eno-" Koala started but you giggled and linked your arm to hers.

"Come on, don't sulk, you're my favourite person in the world!" You laughed.

"Don't let Sabo-kun hear that." She shook her head. "He's been training Kai for a couple of hours already, don't you think they might be hungry?"
