What's Not To Love? {Portgas D. Ace x Reader}

His Kiss.

How in the world did you get yourself in this state? At Ace's house, wearing a pair of Luffy's pajama pants and one of Ace's T-shirts? Because upon walking home, it just had to rain even harder.

You reached his house completely soaked through and had to borrow both his and Luffy's clothing. Although, the shirt Ace let you borrow is awfully cute. A Bugs Bunny t-shirt, seems you both share the love for the Looney Tunes show.  

You had decided to have a few drinks with the freckled boy while you're here and it has lead to this. You both turn on the music channel and due to the both of you being slightly intoxicated, you begin to dance together around the living room, singing along to the songs that play.

Thankfully, everyone else is out. Sabo and Koala most likely Christmas shopping still, a note from Newgate saying that he has taken Luffy Christmas shopping as well. Thatch and Marco...hell, who knows? Since Chopper isn't here, you assume they've taken him out.

"I could have been someone~" Ace sings along to the man's line, the slightly tipsy boy holding your arm up in the air as you do a twirl. A giggle leaving your lips as you almost stumble right over, thankfully Ace's reflexes are just as good when he's drunk as they are when sober.

His arms clamping around your waist, stopping you from falling to the floor. Looking up at him, you offer a grin as your line comes up. "Well so could anyone~ You took my dreams from me, when I first found you~" 

Yes, your singing is out of sync with hers, but screw it! You're having fun! You know this song like the back of your hand. Who doesn't? It's one of the most popular Christmas songs in this town. Mainly because of the swearing, people in this town have sailor tongues.

"I kept them with me babe~" Ace grins as he sings, his forehead resting against yours and eyes staring into your orbs. The closeness has your cheeks burning up, you could see every detail in his face. The small sparkle in his eyes, the adorable freckles that decorated his face. "I put them with my own~ Can't make all alone, I've built my dreams around you~" But mostly, you could smell the liquor in his breath. 

Never have you ever been so attracted to the smell of alcohol before, but this man...he's just so alluring. 

A squeal leaving your lips when he suddenly picks you up, throwing you over his shoulder. The boy still singing along to the song as he playfully slams you down onto the couch. He landed you perfectly though, so you didn't feel anything but pillows hit against your back.

Surely, if anyone else tried doing that when drunk, they'd miss the furniture completely. However, Ace is Newgate's son, that crazy old man could sure handle his drink. Not to mention having Thatch and Marco for brothers, they're just as alcohol tolerant as their 'pops'.

Suddenly, a Cher song blurts from the TV. 'Does he love me I wanna know, how can I tell if he loves me so~?' The womanly voice sings, Ace raising a brow as his gaze shifts toward the source of the singing. 

"This isn't a Christmas song?" He coos playfully, a chuckle escaping his lips as he hovers above you. The only thing keeping him from falling face-first onto you being his arms, the position certainly causing your stomach to flutter and your heart to pound against your ribs. 

'If you wanna know, if he loves you so~ It's in his kiss~' 

"Is it?" The boy blurts, his dark orbs staring down at you seriously. The look in his eyes causing your face to feel like he had just set it on fire as you weakly shrug your shoulders. 

'Is it in his face~? No, that's just his charm~ In his warm embrace~? Oh no, that's just his arms~'

Such a bad choice of words given your current position. "You be the judge," Ace suddenly mutters, your eyebrow rising in confusion. Judge of what? The answer becoming all too clear as he begins to lower his head slightly, his warm breath fanning your face briefly before his soft lips lock with yours and your heart just about beating out of your chest. 

Your eyes widening despite your brain screaming at you to close them, your reaction time a little sloppy but you soon melt into the kiss regardless. He's like a drug you just can't say no to, like a kitten with some catnip. 

Your hands instinctively reaching out for his chest but ending up clamping onto his shoulders instead, your eyes finally falling closed as the fluttery feeling in your stomach spreads throughout your entire body. 

Unfortunately, Ace breaks the kiss all too soon, a small smirk spreading across his lips. "So, Judge [F/n], what do you think?" He rasps, your heart surely should have burst out of your chest by now. A small pant leaving your lips as you try to catch your breath.

Fuck, he's a good kisser.

A small but rapid padding sound catching your ear before a dog appears beside the couch. The animal shoving his head in between you and Ace to lick you both. "Really, Chopper?" the freckled boy snickers as he gently pushes the dog away. 

Chopper? Where the hell did he come fr--

"Oooh~? I hope we're not interrupting anything~!"

NOO WAY!

To anyone who just entered the room, this certainly does not look right. Ace's body still being draped over yours is one thing, but it just occurs to you that he's rested directly in between your legs also. 

Both you and Ace harboring a deep blush as your eyes look to the living room doorway, where Marco and Thatch both stand with huge grins plastered across their faces. 

"Suppose it's good to get it all out now, right Thatch~?" Marco teases, his eyes casting up at the brunette who was suggestively raising his brows.

"Oh, definitely! Broad day light? Best time! You know what they say about going to sleep too late on Christmas Eve~" Thatch snickers, giving Marco a small nudge with his elbow coaxing the blonde to answer for him.

"If you sleep too late on Christmas Eve, Santa don't come~" The blonde taunts, his voice almost a whisper before he starts to cackle.

"Not that she needs Santa to come, after Ace--" Thatch silences himself, thankfully. The two breaking out into fits of laughter as Ace sighs at their comments.

"Can you two get lost? I was tryna do an experiment here." Is all Ace murmurs, his face holding a somewhat stoic look as the two snort. 

"OH, WE BET~!" Thatch blurts, giving Marco a pat on the shoulder. "Alright, alight. We'll play fair and take the dog out again! Just for today since it's Christmas Eve and all that~" The brunette chimes as he turns on his heel, starting for the front door. 

"C'mon boy~" Marco hollers to Chopper, the dog instantly following the blonde as he trails behind Thatch. "Have fun, little bro~" Is the last thing you hear before the front door slams shut. Your face about as red as a tomato. 

MAN, THOSE TWO REALLY SUCK!

"So, what would you say? Was love in my kiss?" Ace asks again, a small smirk gracing his lips. Only for your answer to be interrupted a second time by the front door bursting open. Sabo's chuckling can be heard briefly before the sound seems to get stuck in his throat, followed by Koala's sharp gasp. "Seriously? What now?!"

Sweet Lord, WHY?

"Holy crap, Ace!" Is all Sabo yelps, the blonde throwing his hands over his eyes and making his way upstairs. Koala still frozen in her spot, holding a few shopping bags in her hands. The two clearly weren't expecting this sight. Koala only giving you a wink as a giggle escapes her lips before she follows Sabo up the stairs. 

Who next? Luffy and Newgate?!
