Ace # 6 - Till Death

(FEELS WARNING)
Ace had been madly in love with you. So in love, in fact, that he convinced Whitebeard for you to be the first woman to join their crew. You guys rarely fought, and if you did, you idiots were fighting over the last piece of meat. You spent three years on that ship with Ace. Spending every possible moment together. Exploring, Shopping, Cuddling, Hugging, Kissing, Goofing off, Playing pranks, Laughing, Teasing, and of course, Stealing everyone's food. The moment you two met, it was like something clicked. As if you were meant to be together. And it wasn't just Ace who was in love, oh no, you loved him more than anyone and anything in existence. You got along with everyone on the crew, but were especially close to Thatch. He was like a brother to you and Ace.
Then, one morning, you walked into the kitchen to find him dead.
Things changed after that.
You were never happy like before.
You couldn't help but think Thatch was dead because of you.
What if you had been there sooner?
Could you have saved him?
You felt a hand on your shoulder, snapping you out of it.
"I'm off, Y/N." Ace said.
"Ace! You can't go!" You begged.
"I have to avenge Thatch! I'll kill that son of a bitch Teach! I swear it!" He turned around to leave, stopped by you hugging him around the waist from behind.
"I need you. I love you so much! Please, don't get hurt. Come back safely, promise." You begged.
Ace turned around, hugging you and then kissing your forehead.
"Promise. Till death do us part, remember?" He whispered soothingly.
You nodded, remembering the promise.
"Till death do us part."
...
Ace had been captured.
You had been on a mission.
It took you forever to get back to the crew. And you had no idea of your lover's fate.
When you arrived on the ship, it had been just days after Ace and Whitebeard had been killed.
Everyone looked at you, terrified, when you arrived. You saw Marco, the only one who wasn't crying, clenching his fists tightly. "Oi, Marco! What's wrong with everyone? Where's Pops and Ace?" You asked cheerfully.
Everyone grew silent.
"I'll tell her." Marco finally spoke, walking over.
He explained that Ace had been captured and that Whitebeard had died trying to save the whole crew. But he seemed to be beating around the bush.
After crying, you managed, "Ace...where..where is he now!?"
Marco looked up at you, tears in his eyes.
"Ace...is dead."
You fell to your knees, screaming and crying until you fainted from shock.
...
When you came to, Marco was sitting next to you on your bed. You held each other, crying. You knew what you had to do. "Marco...I need to get dressed, okay? I'll be out in a minute." He patted your back after you spoke and left the room. As his footsteps faded, you locked the door. "Ace.." You whimpered, biting your lip as you walked over to your closet, pulling out the small gun you kept handy in case of a surprise attack.
Ace, I love you. You know that, right?
You smiled and pointed the gun towards your head...
...and then pulled the trigger as a final tear fell down your face.
Till death do us part .
