TEMPERATURE, 𝙥.𝙙. 𝙖𝙘𝙚

[#] 𝐀𝐖𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃.

The next morning, [y/n] looked over to the side of her and saw the freckled face man snoring on his back. She thought she was a wild sleeper, but oh no nay, it was Ace. Not only was the male a wild sleeper, but his snores were loud. Extremely loud. She didn't understand how she spent the night in his bed when she would've been comfortable in hers.

Staring at the male snoring, she began to become aware of her situation. She slept with her best friend's brother, and they shared an apartment together. But before panicking, she took a small breath in and out. Luffy was a heavy sleeper, and so was Ace. So this was a win-win situation in her eyes.

Quietly and slowly, she crept out of his bed and made her way to his room door. The hallway/living room space was empty and quiet, so she was good to go. Once she closed the door shut, she quickly got inside her apartment. Her heartbeat slowed down as she walked into her bathroom and turned the water on.

'What.The.Fuck...' were the only words in her vocabulary currently. What was supposed to be her helping Ace out with the finishing touches of his essay, turned into them fucking. six hours afterward, and she stood in the shower flabbergasted.

After her shower, she sat down on her bed and continued to think about it. Could she even tell Luffy or Nami? She knew the two of them would cause a big scene. So who could she tell? Was she able to have someone else on the crew? Maybe Nico Robin. When there are times she cannot confide in Nami, she goes to Nico Robin. Who sometimes acts as her mother figure. For sure, she couldn't tell Usopp, Chopper, and Franky. Those three would yap their mouths away and have a field day with it. Sanji would have a heart attack on her. Zoro would ignore what she is saying, and wouldn't care at all. Brook, well he was just Brook. Jinbei was someone else she could confide in as well, but not for this situation. So Nico Robin is the first-round pick for her draft.

Grabbing her phone, she unlocked it and went straight to her messages. 'group hangout over at my place around 6? lmk so i can order some food🫡' and she found Nico Robin's number to text her separately. 'can you come over a little earlier than the others? i wanna talk to you about somethin'! you're the only one i can talk to about this!🥹" she sent the message to Nico Robin. It wouldn't take her long to reply with an "of course" and she placed her phone down.

There was a familiar knock on the door and [y/n] sped walk towards the door. There stood her favorite person in the world. The wise Nico Robin. The woman she could go to for advice.

"My assistance was requested?" she gave [y/n] a hug.

"Girl..." [y/n] closed the door behind Nico Robin as they walked over to the living room.

"Remember when I told y'all I was helping Ace with his essay?" nodding her head, she continued to look at her friend.

"Well... We fucked last night..." the jaw of the Russian female dropped to the ground. Were her ears deceiving her?

"You fucked Ace?" and [y/n] slowly nodded her head, face becoming warm.

"Was it good? I heard firefighters are good in bed and last for a long time..."

"It was good... Twice. I came twice," she sighed, throwing her head back.

"Oh wow... Does Luf-,"

"No! He doesn't know and I'm not tellin' him anytime sooner," she cut her off with wide eyes.

The last thing she needed was for Luffy to know. That was his brother, and she was his best friend. Not that Luffy cared, but the situation was strange to her. She had sex with her best friends brother... Someone she was supposedly helping. This was making her brain a bit foggy. There shouldn't be a feeling of guilt... Why was she feeling guilty? Was it the fact that she can't tell Luffy?

The door bell rang and [y/n] knew it was the food. She ordered a pho party tray, because she knew regular pho wouldn't be enough for Luffy. He'd eat his plate and everyone else's, and the last thing she wanted was for Luffy to be dead.

Nico Robin helped her carry the trays inside and placed them on the counter. She texted everyone that the food was ready so now she just had to wait for them to show up. It wouldn't take Luffy long to barge through her door like he owned her place.

"Do you pay bills here?" she looked at the male.

"No..." he scratched his head, looking at her.

"So take ya' ass back outside and try comin' in again..." her teeth were together as she looked at him.

"Okay..." he held his head down, walking back to the front door and walked back inside of her apartment properly.

"This boy done lost his mind..." she trailed off, closing the front door.

Nico Robin let a couple giggles out while she looked at him with his head down. His straw hat hung tight to his big head while he slowly placed it up. Grabbing a plate from the counter, he walked over to the food and began to serve himself.

Robin and [y/n] looked over at the male to see if he left food for the others. "aht aht," she gave him a look and he slowly began to put some of the food back. It was ridiculous, or he was ridiculous. He could eat for hours, and still feel fine. She wondered if he forgot that the others were coming over.

[y/n] heard voices from the front door and she automatically knew that it was the others. She could hear Zoro and Sanji bickering as always. What were they arguing about? Only they knew and it was probably about something silly too.

"[y/n] swannn~!" there was the blondie she knew.

"Hi Sanji," she ruffled his hair, causing him to pass out for a moment.

"And for once... Can you and Zoro shut the fuck up? I tell y'all this almost all the damn time..." she trailed off while he nodded his head.

"Of course he's going to act like a puppy," Zoro muttered.

"Took y'all long enough too, if y'all weren't going to show up, he was going to eat all of the food," she watched everyone walk into the kitchen.

As everyone grabbed a plate and began to grab their food, there was a knock on the door, "Come in!" Luffy shouted, causing her to smack him on the back of the head.

Who was he to allow strangers into her apartment like it was his? This was his problem.

"Heyyy!" the voices shouted.

What the fuck... It had to be Ace and Sabo... Well more so Ace. Sabo was fine because she didn't fuck him, but Ace? It hasn't even been 24 hours yet.

"Hope you guys don't mind... Well, I hope you don't mind [y/n]," Sabo looked at her while she slightly chuckled.

"No. Of course not," and the blondie gave her a smile.

Being good looking just ran in the family. If she could, she definitely would've fucked on Sabo. He was definitely her type, but Ace was her type too. Who knows? Maybe she'll have both? Two boyfriends to dress up as twins.

"Yeah... Hope you don't mind [y/n]..." there was a smirk on Ace's face.

"Like I told Sabo, I don't mind," she cleared her throat, trying not to make eye contact with him.
