Oi. I'll have you know I haven't even come close to drowning in a really long time. [He just got his ass kicked, thrown into Impel Down, had a war fought over him, and then took a punch of pure magma.

You need to work on more than your swimming.]

[sailedfirst]

Yeah, two months is a really long time. [DUDE. He doesn't even know those things yet. ;;

And you don't have to remind him. He's working his ass off training everyday, you know.]

[hiken_ace]

Oi, what's this two months crap? [He will someday. And keep training, then.]

[sailedfirst]

[Does he really need to remind you of that time you almost drowned to save Chopper?] ...Tch! Never mind. You know, you get as careless as Luffy sometimes. Just be careful!

[...Take your time, bro. He's not even sure he wants to hear the details. ;;]

[hiken_ace]

[... oh that. HE DIDN'T TELL ANYONE, FUCK, WHO SPILLED THE BEANS.] You say that like you're not!

[You'll have to hear them someday.]

[sailedfirst]

[Chill, man. No one did. He just guessed since you never got sick before and you're a fire guy now. What else could've made you sick like that, but being drenched/submerged in water? :|]

That's because I'm not! I'm careful all the time.

[hiken_ace]

[Sabo. Stop being smart, it's cheating.] Oh, that's rich. What about that time you and I fought those thugs in town? You didn't have to come and fight, so you got your ass kicked with me. Remember?

[sailedfirst]

[Oi. Using his brain isn't cheating.] Geez, Ace. Bringing that up again and again... I told you, I wasn't about to let you die on me like that, remember?! 'Course I'm gonna save your ass when you're in trouble.

[hiken_ace]

[Shhhh yes it is. And gosh, bro, stop embarrassing him.] Geez, you love to meddle.

[That smile says otherwise, though.]

[sailedfirst]

[No, never! You will feel his brotherly love, whether you want it or not.

And he's just going to laugh.] Well, if I haven't got dumbasses for brothers, maybe I wouldn't have to.

[hiken_ace]

[Gosh, fine!] You're a dumbass, too, and you know it.

[sailedfirst]

Heh, I never said I'm not!

[hiken_ace]

Luffy and I rubbed off on you, I guess.

[sailedfirst]

You guys did make it worse, but hey. Give some credit to my own dumbassery. [You wouldn't have been friends with him if he hasn't got it, right?]

[hiken_ace]

I'm flattered. But yeah, you were an idiot.

[sailedfirst]

I'll take that as a compliment!

[hiken_ace]

[That just makes Ace laugh.] Good! Being an idiot's important. [... how late it is now? Ace cranes his neck to see that it's... 1 am. Oh. Well.] It's pretty late. Do you wanna try getting some sleep?

[sailedfirst]

If you wanna tell me to shut up, you could've just said so. But yeah, we could try... [Try being the keyword. After all, even if they might've distracted themselves a bit, Sabo's still well aware they're by themselves now. He's feeling sleepy, but he doesn't want to fall asleep and let Ace brood by himself.]

[hiken_ace]

Nah, I like talking to you. A lot. [Because ten years of not hearing your voice hurts. He smiles hopefully at him.] Do you want me to make anything for breakfast later on?

[sailedfirst]

Ahaha, really?! I remember you hitting me a lot for being too chatty. [Perking up even more because food.] Pancakes are nice! And cereal and bacon and eggs!

[hiken_ace]

You can talk as much as you want now. [If not just to prove to him that you're still here and alive. At Sabo's happiness, he just laughs.] That's a pretty tall order, y'know! But I think I can manage to make that much.

[He lets out a long yawn.] What do you say we try some sleep first, though? Unless you want me to fall asleep while I'm cooking it.

[sailedfirst]

I hope that's true... [Because there's so much he wants to talk about, but still can't find the words to them.But that conversation's for another time. He grins happily.] I can help. I make a pretty good sunny side up, I'll have you know.

Hah, you fall asleep all the time anyway. [But he stretches on his back and closes his eyes.] You better not burn my bacon.

[hiken_ace]

You bet it is. [Just give him a sec, he's gonna go grab that giant tent of a coat his Pops wore and throw it over the two of them. Pops' coat makes everything better.] Heheh, all right, feel free to help.

Oi, Luffy does, too. [Ace gets comfy under the coat and closes his eyes, too.] I won't, geez. Have a little faith.

[sailedfirst]

[Oh, hey, you're right. It's comfy under this coat. Don't mind him burrowing contentedly into it.] Mmn, you an' Luffy both... sheesh...

[And for all his determination to wait 'til Ace falls asleep first, he's down before he knows it. Can't be helped if you're just a ten year old kid, after all.

And soon enough he's dreaming of a kitchen covered in flour and broken egg shells and Ace and Luffy and him laughing while Marco scolds them in a hot pink apron. He can't see what's written on it, but he's pretty sure it's hilarious.]

[hiken_ace]

[Don't worry, bro, Ace fell asleep not long after you did. Though he didn't have any hilarious dreams such as that one, he at least slept well. He wakes up somewhere between 8 and 9, and when he sees Sabo still asleep, he carefully moves himself out from under the coat, and goes off to make breakfast. Ace cooks the pancakes and bacon first, and he'll wait til Sabo wakes up to ask him how he wants them cooked.]
