Burning Passion ||~Portgas D. Ace x Reader~||

||A Wild Encounter?!||

Your POV:

It was a bear! I screamed on top of my lungs, dropping my s'more and falling on my back. Everyone looked at me, either with concern or curiosity. Ace turned to me, he was about to question why I was screaming but then he looked in my direction... and also screamed as well. He jumped up as I jumped in his arm, his knees weak (Just think of Shaggy holding Scooby-doo for a reference 😅.) Everyone looked at the bear that was heading towards our direction, everyone started to freak out. Law had to hold Luffy since Luffy wanted to "Fight the bear". Sabo grabbed a stick and held it like it was a sword, he was hiding behind Ace as I was still in Aces arms. Thatch and Marco were reassuring everyone that we just had to stay still, but that didn't work. The bear felt threatened, the bear was slowly approaching everyone. As soon as the bear was around the fire pit, we ran far away and behind a tree. Turns out the bear didn't want to eat us, the sweet smell from the s'mores brought the bears attention. The bear started to go through and snack bag, ripping the plastic bags to get to the snacks.

"HEY! THATS OUR SNACKS—"

Luffy yelled but was immediately cut off by Law covering his mouth, Law gave him a "Shut the fuck up" glare. Luffy got the message and kept his mouth shut, we all quietly went around the fire pit and went back to the cars. We all hid inside of our cars for probably around 2 hours, luckily Whitebeard called the forest department about what the situation was at the campsite. A few forest rangers came to escort the bear out of the campsite, luckily no one was hurt. We were all relieved to be alive, but Luffy was still pissed that the bear ate all the snacks. Marco told Luffy that they would buy more snacks later at the nearest gas station. After a few minutes of catching our breaths, we went back to the campsite and enjoyed the warmth from the fire.

"Ah, back to normal! This would've been better if we had s'mores though..." Luffy complained with a pout, as expected Law told Luffy off. Ace and Sabo let out snickers but Marco also told them off, after an hour or so we headed back to our cabins to rest for the night. Me and Koala shared a cabin this time, she was shy at first, but then we started sharing stories from one another.

"And then he jumped off the roof! Isn't that crazy?!" Koala said before giggling, she was telling a story about a time when Sabo and her was on a mission. I listened to her stories with amusement, I let out a small giggle before letting out a soft sigh.

"Sounds like you guys have fun while being on duty as well, how do you do it?" I asked with a smile on my face, she giggled before putting a hand on my shoulder.

"It's all about having self confidence, Girlie! Not caring about what people think about you! Also because Dragon lets us." Koala said with a sheepish tone in the last sentence, I giggled before shaking my head. We laugh, told stories and etc. That's when I realized that we became close friends in such a short amount of time. Koala and I had so much in common, one of them being friends with the brothers of Luffy—well, it's complicated with me and Ace since I have no clue if we are dating or not.

"Ah! Which reminds me, Sora! Sabo as been running his mouth about you having a crush on Ace, is that true~?" Koala said in a mischievous tone as she grinned, once she mentioned about Ace I blushed heavily.

"N-No! Sabo is just a sly, good for nothing liar! H-He knows nothing!" I denied the fact that it was obvious we were both head over heels for each other, Koala just responded with a skeptical glare. She nudged me on my shoulder before smirking.

"Don't be shy, girlie! I could also help you hook with him, Sabo also wanted you to be his Sister-in-law~"  Koala teased, I puffed my cheeks and pouted before blushing in embarrassment.

"It's nothing like that, I swear!" I lied through my teeth with an awkward chuckle, Koala knew otherwise but kept her mouth shut. We both said our good nights and headed to bed, I was on the bottom bunk as Koala slept on the top bunk.
