Ace wasn’t all as sensible as Whitebeard said he was when you guys were being told that you were going on a mission, and this didn’t really bother you, sure, he wasn’t all that reckless like his younger brother Luffy, but still, he loved the thrill of a fight, and that was what happened when you guys when out on a mission for your captain..he got injured..even worse than he let on..

It started by him wanting to go and find something too do, since you had finished the mission earlier than expected, and you agreed, so you followed the fiery guy into trouble..Ace wasn’t all that concerned about his wounds..sure, they weren’t that bad but still..who knows?

A few days later..

Ace’s wounds hadn’t healed at all, and he was stuck in bed..he was complaining about wanting to go out and explore, but you told him no and no, over and over again..until one day..when you were out on a mission with no one to look after him..he tried sneaking out, but coughed up blood..he stumbled back down, clutching his chest and throat..blood splattered on the floor and his bedsheets..damn it..why didn’t he listen too you?..

“D-damn..cough I really messed up now..”

he later back down on his bed..avoiding the blood..he sighed, placing a hand on his forehead..he just had to wait..wait for you to return..
