Fated Encounter (Ace x Reader)

Normal

(basically forgot this existed lol. sorry for not being active)

(short chapter)

"I finally have a decent schedule." You say, pleased.

"Good for you, I still have morning lectures." You roommate, Nami, groaned. Staring at the piece of paper in hand.

You sat back up and took a peak of her schedule. "At least we have 3 lectures together." The other shrugged. "And there's only one lecture, you'll live."

"This is so annoying, man."

You stood up and grabbed your small purse, "I'm off to the cafeteria."

"Cya!"

.

Once you entered the cafeteria, you looked around-- hoping to find a few familiar faces.

"(Y/NNN)!!"

An adorable Luffy started to charge towards you and you couldn't help but smile.

"It's nice to see you again." You greeted him. Luffy responded with a generous amount of nods.

"Wanna sit with me and the gang? It's kinda crowded but we still have space for you." He gestured towards the table, a few of them already waving at you.

You gave them a small wave before accepting his invitation. "I'm gonna go grab some food first and I'll be right there!"

Walking to the food servings, you couldn't help but drool over them. The food here is always delicious. Apparently, the head chef is Sanji's adoptive father.

'No wonder!'

"Anything you want?"

.

You took a lasagna and some french fries as a side dish. Not forgetting about the coffee of course.

You went to the table where your friends are seated. Setting your tray down, you greeted them with a warm smile.

"Lasagna and coffee? What are you, a psycho?" Usopp judged your choice of food combinations.

"Hey! Food is food." You protested. Your fork dived into your meal, happily chomping on them.

"How come you and Sabo go to this college and not Ace?" You ask Luffy.

It did make you wonder why Ace was the only one separated from the both of them.

"I don't know." He blankly answered.

"They didn't have the course that he wanted." You heard Sabo from behind. He and Koala were both walking towards the table, their food in hand.

"Why'd you ask, (Y/N)?" Another person's voice, Zoro, joined the conversation.

"Missing him already?" Usopp as well. A tone of teasing laced with it.

You rolled your eyes. "I was just curious, that's all."

Usopp didn't buy it and just gave you a smirk.

You were getting kind of clingy, and you couldn't help but overthink every time he didn't reply to your messages. Figured since this was your first relationship ever. You learned just a few days ago that Ace had a big project that he needed to focus on, so of course, he didn't have that much free time.

You glanced at your phone, hoping to find a notification of a message from Ace.

'Still nope.'

You quickly ate your food and stood up.
