Fics like The boy in Sandals

What if Shanks and his crew weren't just using Fooshas as a home base for that one year? What if the promise Luffy made to Shanks didn't mean they had to separate as they did? What if Shanks got to meet Ace and Sabo before they set out, before the time skip, before tragedy hit? What if the boys’ upbringing was a bit more loving and with a lot bigger support system? * It's quiet, normally he hates the quiet, it makes him feel alone, but with Shanks it's different. With Shanks, he doesn’t feel as if he has to be loud. With Shanks, he feels like it's okay to just sit quietly sometimes. He never feels overlooked or alone with Shanks. Makino tries her best but even with her it sometimes feels like she isn’t really there with him. That's why he always tries so hard to join the crew. That's why he always chases after the other man and his company. Luffy feels like if he could just stay with the man little longer he might never be lonely again. That horrible gnawing feeling in the back of his mind might just disappear forever.
