[considering how highly sabo talks of ace, having a problem related to him is extremely out of character.]
Thank you.
[the second text comes a few minutes later, after he figures out how to say this.]
I've reached the point that it's getting difficult to ignore feelings that I've been sitting on for months. I haven't told anyone about this, but I figure if anyone should know, it should be someone he considers family.
Just having Ace in my life is enough, and I keep reassuring myself of that, but... we were kids when we were around each other last. We're not anymore. Passing each other like ships in the night in my world was gut-wrenching, and because of that, I know what I'm at risk of losing. But I also know what I'm at risk of ruining.
I don't actually have any experience in this... field. I have no idea what I'm doing.
[ for the next few minutes there is nothing but silence on her end. she sits there, reading over the words once, twice, then a third time before exhaling and leaning her head back. on the one hand she doesn't feel like she's the best person to be talking to about this, on the other? it means a lot that Sabo though to reach out of her about it. ]
Oh, sweetheart. [ this doesn't feel like a conversation to be had over text, if they can help it. ] Do you think you can sneak away for a little bit? Come over to my place, Percy is busy in his workshop so you don't need to worry about him overhearing anything.
