Ace is your boyfriend for a long time now. Everyone knows how sweet, clingy, loyal and protective Ace is of you, but what no one knows is that Ace is sick. And it's nothing that goes away with time, Ace has been coughing heavily lately, sometimes with blood but he hides it. He has shortness of breath, fever, night sweats, chest pain, and sudden collapse

it was a normal day in the Moby Dick, most of the crew on deck and Ace being all time around you. Being both being protective and sweet

after some time, Ace began coughing again. He played it down and wanted to quickly get away because he felt he was coughing up blood again. Because he didn't want the crew and obviously not you to find out about his real condition. But before he could leave, he collapsed and coughed up blood, covering his mouth with his hand, trying to hide it. But it was no use

You rushed to him, trying to help him up. But he could barely stand. Exhausted from the pain in his lungs from all the coughing and the blood loss from the past days of blood coughing

Ace: I'm okay... You don't have to worry about me! I'm going to my cabin and rest.... Then I'm going to be ok-

before he could say more he collapsed again and cought heavily after just a few steps. He doesn't know yet, but it's the same sickness that his own father had too. Lung cancer. Whitebeard was the only one who knew that gol D Roger had the deadly sickness himself, and only 2 people know Ace is in reality the son of Gol D Roger. Only, you and whitebeard know that. But only whitebeard knows about the sickness situation

Ace: Babe i-

He forced himself to walk again. Despite his body screaming stop and Ace felt like he was about to pass out, he still pushed himself. He is the 2 devison commander after all

Ace: it's okay babe, really! I just need to rest and I'll be fine!

He cought and covered his mouth with his hand Again

whitebeard looked away. He couldn't stand to see his own son acting strong and tough in front of his crew. His family!
