Jolly Tunes (Portgas D. Ace x Reader) (Christmas Special 5/6)

A/N: Ace was requested by Ka1b1tch! This is my first time writing him so I hope this is good lol

The afternoon of the next day, you drive to Ace's house. He had texted you earlier asking you to come over – and because it had been quite a while since you'd been able to hang out, you couldn't refuse. You knock on his door, and it swings open to reveal a grinning Ace. "Hey, come in."

You embrace him, and he wraps his arms around you. The warmth of his arms never fails to make you feel safe. "It's been a while, huh?" he murmurs.

"It has," you agree as the two of you break apart.

"Anyway," Ace says, leading you to the sitting room. "The real reason I asked you to come – other than wanting to see you – is because I figured you might want to make the playlist with me."

"Oh, I would love to," you exclaim. You love music, so you're overjoyed that you'll get to pick what goes in the playlist for the party. The two of you sit on the couch, and Ace puts an arm around you, tugging you close as he pulls out his phone. Your face flushes lightly at the gesture. Ace has always been very touchy with you, but still, you can't help but feel something stir in you. Stop that, you think, irritated. You're just being silly.

"So, of course, we have to start with the basics," Ace says, adding classic songs such as Jingle Bells and 12 Days of Christmas . You raise a brow at his selection. "Just what is your opinion of a classic?"

He gives you a puzzled look. "Here, give me the phone." You take it from him and add It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas and All I Want for Christmas is You. Ace laughs. "I guess it was a good idea to enlist you."

***************************

After an hour or two of laughs, the two of you finish with the playlist. "Now, for the final test," you say. "Let's play a few songs on shuffle." Ace hits the play button, and All I Want for Christmas is You is the first thing that plays. A small smile comes over your face. Reminds me of the other day when I came across Law singing it... Ace shoots up and starts singing, matching the song perfectly. "I don't want a lot for Christmas; there is just one thing I need."

You join him in the following sentence. "I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree."

Ace grins. "I just want you for my own... "

"...more than you could ever know." you finish.

"Make my wish come true..." you sing in unison, then point at each other dramatically.

"All I want for Christmas is you!" Ace belts out. You laugh, getting up to join him, and as you sing your hearts out, you think, satisfied, to yourself. A day well spent, indeed.
