Ace and Sabo were currently waiting for Luffy to return home. The omega had forbidden the two from going with him after the gray terminal incident, where Sabo was taken by his father, then burned by the fire of the gray terminal trying to return to his brothers, Ace was badly injured in the fight with the Bluejam pirates, and Luffy, fortunately, managed to recover his two little brothers in one piece. Of course, the event made Luffy more protective of his brothers, his instincts were completely panicked at the thought that he could lose his little brothers, so he forbade them from leaving the bandits' cabin, completely ignoring the puppies' whines and Ace's frustrated curses.

"Luffy shouldn't do this." Ace grumbled in frustration with his arms crossed, he was frustrated that he hadn't been able to help his older brother in the fight. He just got in the way and was weak. It left a bitter taste on his tongue, making him pucker.

"I think Luffy is just afraid of us getting hurt more." Sabo muttered from the other bed, half of his face was bandaged, it was clear it would leave a nasty scar.

Ace snorted, but he wasn't angry at his brother, he couldn't be angry at the omega who created him even though Luffy was annoying sometimes.

"I'm back!!" The two hear Luffy scream making Ace and Sabo quickly sit up straight on the two beds.

"Luffy!" The two said at the same time but this time they didn't care, focusing on the presence and smell of sea, sunflowers and apples that emanated from him, The calming pheromones made Ace's shoulders relax and a small smile appeared on Sabo's face.
