I'm here. It's okay, it's fine now. I'm not going anywhere. Don't be sorry. It's good now.
[His heart is breaking with every wail, every syllable seeped in raw human emotion, Luffy is so real and raw and intense, and all he can do is hold onto him and try to be comforting while soaking up the wild force that is his brother. While Marco was an anchor, something soothing and protective, Luffy is the wild itself. And he almost feels like he's going to be alright, with this energetic beast wrapped against him like a octopus.
Luffy never goes the subtle route. His existence is too much, in the best sort of way. And Ace hums a little, listening and holding and just taking in all that Luffy is. The warmth and power of the would be king.] It's okay. Come on, no more crying. [His own voice cracks when he speaks, as he tries to ignore the tears streaming out of his own eyes and how close he is to sobbing all over again.] It was crappy of me to leave you for so long. Two years, right? I wanna know everything that happened. I bet your bounty went way up. [He forces a smile, and hugs him a little tighter. He didn't think it was possible to feel this much, but the sadness and fear are starting to give way a bit. Leaving room for more. And that more is making it easier to handle being alive again.]
