Valentine’s Day Special #34
One Piece World ❤️ Dating Ace requested by mollyxmouse
Ace had gone on an errand for the captain and… You missed him. You missed him so much. Even if it had been only three months, the fire wielding man had a grasp on your heart and you had the same effect on him. It was Valentine’s Day and no word from your boyfriend. You did the chores of the day and constantly asked Marco for any updates on Ace and when he would return. You were disheartened each time they said that they had no updates.
You slumped down on the deck and played with some of your hair. It was originally brown but due to your dislike of how it looked, you dyed it red while he was gone and you hoped that your boyfriend would like it because you liked how it looked. It brought out your blue eyes.
The rest of the day was just filled with boredom and sadness with no word from him. The crew could tell that you missed him but they swore to keep his arrival a surprise like he asked. That was a huge feat since they were so many members that could have leaked the secret. And they almost did! So many of them couldn’t handle the sad look on your face. You yawned and thought it best to head to bed, realizing that you shouldn’t expect him back tonight.
You laid in bed and with the calming waves slowly helping you doze off. Your eyes opened when you heard a thump from the hallway outside your door. You blinked and sat up, looking at the door. You weren’t worried, if it was a raid, the crew would have stopped it so it could only be a crew member. The door swung open and your eyes widened at your boyfriend, waddling in. He dropped a giant bear on the ground and a white box, rubbing his head. In his other arm, he was holding a bouquet of multicolored roses. When he saw you, he grinned and put the flowers down before opening his arms up. You scrambled off the bed and ran over, almost knocking him over with your embrace with a grin on your face.
“You’re back!” He chuckled and his arms immediately heated you up once they wrapped around you. You sighed and relaxed against them, feeling chills up your spine at having the familiar feeling back.
“Sorry for taking so long, Molly. I got stuck at an island trying to get these different colors of roses.” You giggled and leaned up, your smile matching his.
“I would have just been happy with you showing up earlier.” He leaned forward and rested his forehead against yours.
“I’m sorry. I’ll be sure to make it up to you.” He pressed his lips against yours, making you smile against his lips while you kissed back. The kiss was slowly deepening and you tangled your fingers against his hair. He winced and pulled away, rubbing at the side of his head. You blinked and cupped his face, tilting his head to see it clearer.
“Did you get this from that thump I heard earlier?” He grinned sheepishly and nodded.
“I couldn’t see so I bumped my head against the landing when you go down the stairs. You tried to hold back from laughing but it didn’t work as you burst out laughing. He laughed along with you, your laughter being contagious.
“But I got you all these presents! Doesn’t that count for something?” You smiled and leaned up to press a small kiss on his lips.
“It does. It’s very romantic of you. I appreciate it.” He grinned and hugged you again, stroking your hair.
“You dyed your hair?” You had completely forgotten and tugged at a couple strands nervously.
“Y-Yeah. What do you think?” He grinned and ran his fingers through your hair.
“Yeah! You look so pretty with it!” You giggled and squeezed him.
“Thanks, Ace.” You grasped his hand and tugged him to the bed. “But for now, let’s get some sleep. You owe me some major cuddling sessions.” He chuckled and hugged you when the both of you laid down, purposefully raising his temperature so that it kept you warm for the night as the both of you finally went to bed in each other’s arms.
