Ace's Sacrifices of Love (Hiatus)

Chapter 8: Ace's Sacrifice

Sorry for all my bad spelling I will work on it. Ok so with shanks x ace out of my system it will be more on luffy x ace. So thanks for reading and being patient with me. Enjoy

ace woke up. The first thing he realized was the pain he felt clearly caused by shanks. Ace got up and noticed shanks wasn't around. He then noticed he was still wearing the maids outfit. He headed to the bathroom only to see a note on the door.

'Ace I'm truly sorry for my actions. You were asleep so I toke luffy to school don't worry I won’t say a word. Help yourself to some food. When I get back I will take you home.' ace was shocked a bit. The guy he had shanks pegged for wasn't the type to ever admit his mistakes. Ace then put that out of his mind as he got cleaned and changed. Ace then headed down stairs and made some breakfast.

~meanwhile with shanks and luffy driving to school~

"so luffy how's school going?" shanks was sitting up front driving. Luffy continued to talk about how he really loved his school and how many friends he was making.

"Oh I even got to be friends with the school bully! His name is zoro he is really cool! He always has swords with him and is captain of the kendo club!" when luffy mentioned zoro shanks normal smile went to a frown. Luffy, always having the ability to read people well, noticed shanks reaction fast.

"Oi shanks what wrong? Do you know zoro?" luffy stared questionable at the dazed red head.

"I have heard of him. I don't know him but I know of his guardian mihawk." luffy gave a questionable look to the clearly in thought man. Luffy figured shanks had stuff he didn't want to bring up. Like how ace never wants to talk about stuff. Luffy just smiled and changed the subject. They then continued to talk about general stuff like the move and new school and soon aces name came up. Shanks then wondered if he dare talk to luffy about ace.

"H...hey luffy?" shanks stuttered slowly building up the courage to talk. Luffy just looked at him.

"Remember when I said how ace is going to be my new secretary?" luffy nodded.

"Well I think I made your brother hate me. So I might not see you again." shanks forced a smile as if to say 'its ok.' or 'I'm sorry.' luffy just looked at the man with curiosity.

"But ace told me he needed a job or I might have to go back! I don't want to lose ace. What did you do? I'm sure ace can get over it!" shanks was stunned at luffy. Ace and luffy would do anything not to lose the other. Luffy kept asking questions after question. Shanks then laughed at him. Soon without realizing it luffy was on a whole other topic.

"Were here." shanks then pulled up to the schools parking lot. Luffy then noticed his cooking partner sanji smoking out front. Luffy waved to the blond who waved back.

"Thanks shanks!" luffy then tried to get out of the car before shanks locked it. Luffy looked to give shanks a confused look.

"Hey luffy before you go I want to ask you something." shanks toke a hard swallow. Luffy continued to stare at him.

"How would you feel if I asked out your brother?" Luffys expression didn't change. He just stared at the clearly nervous red head.

"I'm going to be late." luffy then rushed out of the car. Shanks figured with ace and Luffys special relationship that luffy didn't want to give up his brother.

~a while later at shanks house~

"hey ace can we talk?" shanks walked up to his bed room to find ace. He opened the door to find ace asleep while he was still putting his shirt on. Shanks figured it was one of his narcoleptic fits, seeing as how he got them before. Shanks then went over to the sleeping boy and tried to rock him awake.

To shanks surprise ace woke up screaming. When ace realized it was just one of his dreams he felt a bit of relief. Shanks looked at the shanking boy with great worry in his eyes. Ace then not even looking shanks in the eye started to cry without realizing it.

"Ace! What wrong!" shanks was in a bit of a panic for the boy.

"Where’s luffy?" ace didn't lift up his head from the bed. He soon realized himself that it wasn't the dream that made him cry. But the fact that luffy wasn't there to comfort him.

"I'm sorry I couldn't feel Luffys place if I tried for a hundred years. I'm sorry ace. If you don't ever want to see my face again then I promise I won’t ever come near you again." shanks looked to his feet. He felt he didn't even have the right to act so upset and torn with whatever ace was going through.

"Huh? Shanks when did you get here?" ace then finally remembered that it was a dream and luffy was at school. Ace managed to calm himself down to where he wasn't shanking.

"You didn't even notice me?" shanks looked at the boy. Ace was in a way emotionless. He didn't seem to have a certain emotion on his face or in his words.

"Look ace I won’t ever bother you again I promise. I will drive you home and you can forget I even excise." shanks sat down on the bed next to the boy.

"You want to know don't you?" shanks was shocked to hear ace say that. When ace finally looked up to looked at shanks. Shanks skin crawled. Ace looked like he didn't have a will to care about anything or live anymore. Shanks had a shocked expression as he forced a nodded to the boy. Shanks was worried but he didn't know why the boy was so upset. Shanks figured it was something he did.

"I guess someone should know the real story. Well shanks the first time me and luffy got adopted together it was a single father. At first he seemed nice to us. Me and luffy were just silly little kids. I believe I was ten at the time. We loved the fact that finally we could live together. However I noticed how the man who adopted up was more concerned with luffy then me. One night, I don't think luffy knew what was happening, but the man was taking a bath with luffy. I didn't get why but I knew it wasn't right. Then I overheard him saying he was going to return me and will..." shanks was horrified by the first part of the story and on some level didn't want to hear what happened next.

"He said he was going to rape luffy. At the time I would probably call it stupid love but I did anything I could to get his attention on me. Most of the time I just got dirty so he would take baths with me. I put up with whatever I had too. Well you can figure out what happened. Soon I ended up in his bed almost every night. Luffy was luffy and I made sure he didn't catch on. I kept my mouth shut about it and didn't tell a soul. I didn't want to be separated from luffy. Soon he was arrested for having child pornography. They questioned my and luffy thinking the obvious that we were raped. Luffy didn't even know why he was getting arrested. He was just sad we might have to part again. So I promised him when I turned 18 I would adopt him. But when they questioned me will... I just couldn't tell them. Makino, one of the workers at the orphanage, heard me talking in my sleep. She figured out everything quick." ace looked at shanks not knowing what telling this story would do to shanks. Or even accomplish for ace. There was no point. But ace felt better sharing his pain.

"I see..." shanks then hugged ace as tight as he could. Ace felt a lot calmer now. Ace didn't know why but now that shanks knows he didn't feel scared of him. Hell ace even laughed at him.

"Hahaha don't worry old man that was in the past and I feel batter knowing at least one person in this world knows the pain I went through." ace smiled at the man. He now felt a big weight being lifted from his shoulders.

"Not that I'm sorry for everything I did! I can’t apologize enough! I must have hurt you in ways no human should be hurt in!" ace felt shanks tears roll down him back.

'This man really loves me!' when that though hit ace he didn't feel so bad. Ace actually figured the whole reason he hated shanks was because he reminded him of that man. However now that he knows the story ace felt like he could start new with shanks.

"Shanks I still want that job! Now that you know what I went through for luffy you know I will do anything for him. I need to pay the bills so please can I keep the job? With no sex required?" ace smiled at shanks who just smiled back.

"Ya I would love that." shanks then drove ace home where for the first time they talked like normal people. They were both happy.
