One Piece One-Shots

(Ace) Chocolate Cake

I still have writers block. It's weird being so stuck for ideas, even when I'm a little clueless, I still can get something down, but this is just plain ridiculous. Please wish me luck with all this. MmePenguin, this is for you.

"Ace! Hey Ace!" I yelled to him. "Hey YN! What's up!" He yelled back to me from the side of a cab. He quickly opened the door and paid for his ride. "Thanks, man." He said to the cab driver. He smiled at Ace and then drove off.

Ace stood in front of me. "So, what are we planning on doing today?" He asked, his hand in his pocket. "I was gonna take you to a pastry shop downtown. You alright with going?" I asked, looking up at him. "Sounds fun!" He said, a cute smile on his face.

I grabbed Ace's hand and we walked down the street. We turned and the lovely light brown colored pastry shop. "You're bringing me here? I've seen this place before. Never went in, though." He said, rubbing the back of his neck. "I've walked near it and every time it smells decadent." I said, smiling. "Shall we go in, then?" He asked, gesturing to the door. "Yes, we shall." He said, chuckling.

We went inside and we went up to the pastry counter. The lines of different pastries all looked delicious and fancy. Ace looked at the counter with a happy look in his eyes. I was practically drooling. "So YN, what are you ordering?" He asked, a smirk on his freckled face. "To be honest, it all looks amazing." I said, shoving my face against the glass. "Well, I'll be paying today, so go crazy." He said, smirking. "Come on, Ace. I invited you here, so I'm the one paying." I said, poking his ankle since I was still on the floor. "Nope. You paid last time, it's my turn now." He said, pulling out his wallet, which was a cheeto orange color.

I finally decided on what I wanted and Ace and I went up to the fron counter. "So what will you love birds be having today?" The older woman at the counter asked us while chuckling. "I'll have that little purple looking pastry in the corner. Oh, and two slices of chocolate cake." Ace said, rather confident in his ways. I laughed at him. "Ace, you're gonna buy out the whole store." I said, smiling at him. "I can't do that until you've ordered." He said, still retaining a smirk on his face. "I'll have a (favorite fruit) pastry, please. Oh, and a small cup of coffee." I said, looking at all of the delicious looking treats behind the protective glass.

The woman nodded and Ace paid her, then she handed us our pastries and we went and sat down at a small table by a window.

Ace immediately began to eat his cake. "Didn't have breakfast today, huh Ace." I said in a joking manner. "You know how my appetite is, YN." He said with a mouth full of rich cake. I chuckled. "Well, I am going to steal a bite of your cake." I said, poking my fork into the piece of cake Ace hadn't touched yet. "Hey!" He yelled, pointing his fork at me.

I ate the small piece of cake I had taken off. "Wow, that's really good." I said, enjoying the deep chocolate flavor. "It is pretty good cake, isn't it." He said, still stuffing his face. I took my fork and got a small piece of my (favorite fruit) pastry.

"So YN, how's your treat?" Ace asked. I stayed silent for a moment. "YN?" He asked me, stopping the cake cycle for a moment. "Ace! It's absolutely amazing! It's one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth!" I yelled, a wide smile on my face. Ace chuckled. "Glad you liked it." He said, stuffing more chocolate cake into his mouth.

Eventually, I finished my pastry and Ace finished both his slices of cake and the "purple looking thing" he had ordered earlier. We stood outside the shop. "So... what did you think of my date location?" I asked him, standing rather close to him. "It was great, YN. Thanks for suggesting it." He said, beaming. "Of course." I said as we started back to my house.
