Fics like put your faith in what you most believe in

“I’m glad you’re here,” Luffy says when the bowl is empty. He’s clearly exhausted, his limbs and the lines of his body all drooping as though his bones have all gone wobbly. He can barely sit up on his own. “Sorry they asked you to come.” “‘Sorry’?” Sabo parrots, not sure he heard correctly. There’s a dull sort of horror blooming in the pit of his stomach like a sick flower. “Why ‘sorry’?” “Ace had his own adventures, and I have mine,” Luffy mumbles, drifting off again. “You have yours, too. I don’t want you to miss them. I don’t want you to miss anybody. Or to… be here when you’d rather be…” “Luffy—” “Free,” Luffy manages. “Sabo’s supposed to be free.”
