Portgas D. Ace x Chubby Reader

Chapter 7: High Emotions

It's been a month since they moved in. I'm surprised Law is still living here. I guess it's easier for him with his stupid work schedule and dealing with Bepo. It's been really crazy around here. Over the past month, so much has happened.

Ace and Sabo got jobs while Luffy and I started school. Luffy got a long lecture from Law and me about picking his nose, even though it did nothing. He also got a lecture from Shanks about getting a job. Ace installed a home gym into the basement, which Shanks uses every once in a while.

But I will say, having only three cars and six people with different schedules is a huge pain in the ass. Especially since it's a fifty-minute drive into town. Since school started my schedule is all over the place. I have class every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, while Tuesdays and Thursdays I have work.

This past month I have become pretty good friends with Ace, Sabo, and Luffy, although I get along with Ace the best. He flirts with me every once in a while which always flusters me. I'm pretty sure he likes to see me nervous as he does it constantly, and always laughs at my bright red face. I don't think I have seen him wear a shirt yet either.

The four of us have gone on the four-wheelers many times. Sabo made the mistake of letting Luffy drive once, and they both flew off. Thankfully neither of them got seriously injured. At that moment, I was glad I always rode with Ace because he was a careful driver and never tried to distract me when I was driving.

He does get on my nerves in other ways though, like trying to get me to work out with him. He says it would be good for me since I just sit around all day, and because he wants to spend more time with me. I think he's just trying to kill me, or maybe to say that I'm fat and need to get in shape. No matter the reason, it pisses me off.

What day is it again? Oh, that's right. It's Tuesday. The shop being closed today has really thrown me off. They didn't even bother to tell me why we are closed today. I can't complain too much though as I have the day off. Since I had nothing to do I did my homework in the morning and now I'll just be able to relax all day for a change. Won't that be nice?

Ace is the only other person home. Everyone else is at work, except Luffy who is in class. Ace would be at work today, but apparently, he woke up with a very painful migraine.

I'm surprised Oden isn't in here with me, but he's downstairs sleeping on the couch with the dogs.

I sat at my desk working on homework with my headphones on blasting my favorite music. I got so sidetracked by my music that I didn't notice Ace coming into my room.

He tapped on my shoulder, scaring the shit out of me. I yelled out loudly and jumped so bad that I nearly fell out of my chair. As I took my headphones off, I could hear Ace laughing at me, causing me to get embarrassed.

"Sorry. I knocked but you didn't answer so I just came in." He sat down on my bed, which is right beside my desk.

"Oops. Sorry about that. How's your head?" I asked him as I turned my chair to face him.

"It's a lot better now." He said, giving me a closed-eye smile. "This is the first time I've ever been in a quiet house. It's weird."

"Yea. I got used to all the constant chaos." I replied. Ace suddenly leaned forward and grabbed the arm of my chair and wheeled me towards him.

"I like that I get a chance to be alone with you." He said, with a sadistic grin. What the hell is going on?

"B-but we've been... alone before." I muster out.

"Not like this though. You have no idea how much I have thought about you this past month." What is he talking about? What is happening? Ace placed his hand on my face and rubbed my cheek with his thumb.
