One Piece: Oneshots

Beneath the Mistletoe: Ace

The Newgate household was known for the most extravagant parties in the entirety of Grandline City. They were especially known for their Christmas parties; parties that lit up the neighborhood. The Newgate boys sent invitations to their friends and their friends sent them to their friends. They cycle never ended and thats what made the parties so chaotic. Hundreds of people would be piling into the mansion of Edward Newgate. 

You stood in the corner of the kitchen holding a red solo cup of apple cider in one hand. Your other hand was pulling at the hem of your sweater to make sure it didnt show any of your goodies off to the people around you. The kitchen was by far the quietest place in the house; you were originally sitting on the couch in the den, but you had to retreat when a couple began to makeout on the couch.

You sighed and took a sip of the cider as you tapped your boot in rhythm to Jingle Bell Rock. You hadn't even realized someone was standing beside you until they put a hand on your shoulder. You let out a small squeak as you jumped a little, spilling some of the cider out of your glass. You glared at the taller raven haired male as he let out a chuckle. 

"You're quite jumpy!"

You rolled your eyes and flipped the boy off.

"And apparently a bit grumpy. Are you not feeling the ok?"

The boy tilted his head as you sighed again.

"I guess im just not feeling the Christmas spirit this year, Ace."

Ace's smile fell into a frown. he palmed your shoulder again.

"Is there a reason why?"

You looked towards the couch in the den, the couple was still making out. Eustass Kid and Jewelery Bonney. Ace followed your gaze and he immediately understood. 

"You're still not over him are you?"

You shook your head as a lump formed in your throat. You and Kid were dating for over a year and it was a year you would never forget. He picked you up at your lowest and put you back together, but then a month ago you noticed changes in his demeanor.  He had started being more distant, refusing any sort of affections from you. He even stopped going on dates with you and coming over to your place. It got to the point where he just stopped talking to you. Then you got the text, he had admitted to cheating on you, he had broken up with you over text. That week your heart had been even more broken; you stopped eating and you never left the house. People tried to text you but you blew them off. You didnt want anybody to know what was going on. That was until Ace forced his way into your apartment; he had a black eye and a burger king bag in his hand. His stupid smile never faltered even when you told him to screw off.

You still didnt know why he had a black eye. He never told you, but he found Kid with another girl and started a fist fight. You were his best friend and love interest. It both pissed him off and made him happy that he had cheated on you, because now he could shoot his shot. Tonight was his night.

You sighed again as you set the cup of cider on the counter, you were about to walk off until Ace grabbed your arm. 

"What the hell?"

Ace flashed his signature grin and began dragging you through the house. People moved out of his way as he dragged you. The both of you then stopped in front of the coffee table by the couch in the den. Kid and Bonney looked up at both of you annoyed. Your eyes stared at the carpet not wanting to see Kid with another woman. 

"(y/n), look at me please."

You slowly looked up at Ace and then you saw it. Hanging between you was a small mistletoe, you gazed into his dark eyes as a light blush appeared on your face. Ace held your stare as his own face became red. 

"May I have this kiss?"

The question went through your mind ten different times before you processed it. You slowly nodded your head. He draped his hands around your waist and slowly pulled you closer. Then he slowly pressed his lips against your own. Everything around you seemed to slow as you melted into the kiss and wrapped your arms around his neck. 

Ace broke away moments later for air and you leaned your head against his shoulder.

"Merry Christmas (Y/N)."

He was cheery as ever and it made you happy.

"Merry Christmas Pyro."

Kid was glaring at both you and Ace, the ravenette caught notice of this and flipped him off with a victorious smile. He had finally won you.

You were the best Christmas gift he could have asked for.
