One piece one shots!

Warm as the summer sun (Ace x Fem!Reader)

The kisses of the sun rays on your skin felt euphoric that only the sun could give. How the ball of fire made your skin tingle in the best of ways as you lay on the chairs on the deck basking in the light of the rising sun. You loved the crispy salty air mixed with the slight warm heat. It could lull you back to sleep with in just seconds of stepping onto the deck with bare feet. Everyone on the ship would say " You were born in the sun light," or they'd ask " Why are you always in the sun? You'll get sun burnt being out side for so long!" Sure it was true there was never a time where you weren't outside just absorbing the bliss of the sun hitting your bare skin. Well besides bathroom breaks and sleeping.

This particular day the sun wasn't out, after being told that you guys were headed straight through a storm made the sun princess all the more dim. Everyone noticed the longing gazes outside or walking out to the deck to be pecked with the cold droplets of water. Ace seemed to take notice as well and the fact that everyone was doing what ever in their power to raise the spirits of the daughter of WhiteBeard, sadly to no avail.

"What are we going to do?," Thatch asked while looking over at your hunched over figure as your beautiful eyes clouded with sadness and the gloomy gray of the sky.

"What can we do? We are headed for Sunny island and we didn't expect that getting there we'd have to go through a storm. The best we can do is wait it out and I know I don't like seeing her like this either," Marcos eyebrows furrowed as his eyes trailed to you soft face masked with boredom.

" I know there isn't much todo besides waiting till the storm is over but we can think of something we just have to ponder a little harder," Izou's sharp eyes went soft as he watched you lift yourself up from your seat and walk down the stairs to the living quarters.

"She looks so...miserable. Gramps even noticed," Ace pouted. Looking back at the moments prior as he tried cracking jokes he'd know you'd laugh or at least chuckle at, only to be met with a quick smile and walking off.

"Well no shit she's gonna be miserable the fucking sun is gone you twat!," Marco whisper yelled at Ace.
"Yeah Ace I think we all caught onto that," Thatch sweat dropped.
"And of course captain is gonna notice his daughter in distress. She's always outside. We don't even know why she loves the sun so much but it makes her happy," Izou iterated.

"What are you four doing?," a voice boomed into the kitchen entry way making the quad jump out of their skin. There WhiteBeard stood looking down at his "sons" huddled in the middle of the kitchen whispering amongst themselves.

"Gramps! Um we were just uh.........hm......uh...," Ace began blanking out.

Marco stood pushing Ace by his face causing him to fall back, " It's about (Y/n) you know much she likes the out doors and her obsession with being in the sun. Well we're just trying to figure out how to help her cheer up, she's been in a stupor for the entire day," Marco explaining to the giant.

"GURARARARARARARARARA!," Edward's laugh boomed through the room. Making the men all look at each other than at their captain.

"What's so funny?," Ace asked very much confused at WhiteBeard's out burst.

" I just find it hilarious that you think my daughter has some sick obsession with the sun!," Edward still chuckling to himself.

"What do you mean?," Marco questioned cocking his head to the side.

"My daughter was born in the hottest month of the year. But when she was born she was diagnosed with this unknown condition that made her body lack vitamin D and causing her to be cold to the touch. So to kill two birds with one stone I'd hold her outside and just lay in the sun light, the days there were storms or it was cold outside I'd light a fire in my office and sit with her till she fell asleep. That's why she's always outside to stay warm and to get some sort of vitamin D to keep her feeling awake. Sure she can eat a couple oranges or fatty fish to keep her levels high but it gets tricky trying to keep her warm," WhiteBeard explain about his daughter gloomy mood.

"Oh see that makes a lot more sense. I thought she was like a sun princess or something," Ace nodded his head confidently.

"Jesus Christ your dumb," Thatch said as he swung at the back of Ace's head as the other two snickered at his statement. Ace rubbed the back of his head and glaring at the other trio behind him,suddenly he got an idea.

"You know what I may be dumb but guess what assholes I might just be the one to solve the problem at hand!," Ace said confidently as he walked backwards with a shit eating grin. He whipped around and headed to your room...

Meanwhile.
"The fuck is he gonna do?," Marco asked with his eye brows knitted together.
"I don't know man, that one was dropped to many times as a kid,"Thatch joked before getting started getting things ready for dinner.

Ace softly knocked on the door to your room , " Hey, (Y/n)! You alright?"
He leaned his ear against the cool wooden door hearing a small, "Yeah..You can come in if you want the door is open."
So he opened the door to see poor (Y/n) layered in thick blankets shivering with orange peels scattered by her waste bin.

"D-Do you need something?," she asked with a wobbly smile. Ace felt a little bad not knowing that it would be this bad for (Y/n), i mean look at you! You're 3 thick blankets deep and still shuttering.

"Scooch over," Ace said motioning with his hand and pulling up the blankets.

"Eh?," her face blank from shock. Simply just watching him sit on the edge of her bed kicking off his boots and swinging his legs into the covers. She was about to protest till he pulled her into his chest and being engulfed with that almost nostalgic feeling against her body.

"That old man told us why you were looking so grumpy today. I just wanted to help you out a little bit," he explained as he felt you snuggle against him. He heard her sigh blissfully with her cheek pressed against his, earning a chuckle.

"You're like a cat," he said before looking at you. Those big eyes filled with gratitude and care, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be all over you like that. It's just....you're so warm! I can't help it! It makes me feel less sleepy and is toning my migraine down,"  (Y/n) explained with flushed cheeks.

"It not a problem. I'm just glad to see your dorky smile again, I don't like seeing you all sad. Hell! Everyone was worried about you, I was just the only one to give you a piece of the sun," Ace said smugly.
He heard you chuckle, soon feeling if your soft yet cold hands trail from his sides to his back. Softly wrapping your arms around his torso and pulling him against your front, laying your head on his chest.

"Yeah, you're just as warm as the summer sun,"
(Y/n) said dreamily as her eyes began to flutter close and soon soft pearls of snores escaped her lips. All Ace could do was watch your soft feature gracefully sleep, his chest shuddering with chuckles careful not to wake you. Pulling the covers over the two of you and pulling you a little more closer against one another.
"Glad I could help, princess," Ace whispered as he placed a soft and light peck against her forehead and soon letting the rocking of the boat lull him into his own slumber...

Somewhere on the boat....

"Aye, has any one seen Ace ?  He's bee gone for too long and it's way too damn quite," Marco asked suspicions of the loud and childish meme bee of their crew now gone silent.

"Last time I checked he was headed down stairs to the rooms," Thatch said pointing his spoon over his shoulder.

Marco nodded and went down to Ace's room, nothing but he did hear his snoring coming from the next room over, that was coming from your room....

Marco quitely opened the door to see a sight he had to get the crew to gawk at, Ace sprawled out in your bed with you huddled against his side with an arm and leg thrown over his front. While Ace had an arm wrapped around your waist. Quickly whipping out his snail camera and snapping a couple before closing the door and running around parading what he found in "little princess (Y/n)'s room"

Gramps was not happy to say the least.....
