It was hard for Ace to keep himself from murdering anyone. You were right next to him, safe and sound. But there were so many men looking at you. "So Y/n do you enjoy this welcome party?" Thatch asked. "Yes, but some seem to be a bit down." You answered, circling the liquid in your glass. "Oh, it's because of Teach. . . . ." Thatch answered, with a sad frown. "What about him?" You asked, confused. "You haven't told her?" Thatch asked Ace. "Didn't want to worry her," Ace answers, glancing down in his glass. "What's wrong with Teach?" You asked already, having a feeling Ace might be the culprit. Thatch sighed, of course, Ace hadn't told you this could give you an unsafe image of being here.

"He's gone missing, we have no idea if he left on his own, or if it was an accident that might have happened," Thatch explained. "Don't you think it could have been someone?" You asked, glancing at Ace. "I try not to think like that. But if that's the case, the guilty one will be burned." Ace answered, holding up his lightened fist. I guess it's not him. You thought. 

The weeks passed, and you did your best to be the perfect woman for Ace. You sat in his room in an armchair he had gotten for you. Ace walked in and then locked the door. Your mind immediately went to the worst-case scenario, the old burn marks he had given you started  to itch. Putting away your book, you gave Ace a fake smile. "Is everything alright?" The sweet tone you used made Ace freeze for a second. Then he sighed and sat down on his bed. The silence was that now laid over the room, which made you gulp.

Ace gaze was locked on you. After what felt like hours, he finally spoke. "Do you remember when I told you about my past?" Ace asked. The question caught you off guard. "I do remember. Why?" Ace frowned and then covered his eyes. "That was the first and only time you ever smiled for real, to me. I wanna know what I did so I can do it again. I have barely touched you for these past weeks since you get all that fear in your eyes. I have given you gifts and compliments, but it doesn't make you smile at all. All I get is that fake smile." Ace explained.

You were confused. Did Ace actually care about you in another way? Would he be able to hide or press his obsession away? The things he said are true, after all. He had acted like a real boyfriend. When you didn't answer, Ace continued. "I know what, I have done. I'm not completely delusional. Though I admit I might have been really delusional in the beginning." You looked at Ace's frown. Did he maybe regret what he's done? "What do you mean when you say in the beginning?" You asked changing position.

Ace explained that before he and you left that small little island. You're home. He'd been thinking, dreaming, and, in the end, believing. You were his love and that you love him back. But when he actually started being with you, it felt hollow. And the hard reality hit him. So he tried to ignore it and keep you. "Ace, why did you fall in love with me from the start?" You asked. The question had been there, but you were too afraid to ask. "Do you remember our first encounter?" Ace asked, fidgeting a little with his hat.

After a while of thinking about it, you nooded. "After awhile, you said. "You could be Gold Roger's son, and my love for you still wouldn't change." That sentence changed everything in me since he's my, he's my father." Ace confessed, gritting his teeth. When his eyes scanned you over for any sign of leaving him, the only thing he found was understanding. You looked like someone just gave you all the answers in this very world.

"That explains so much. Both why and a lot from your back story." You mumbled, going through it in your head. "Can I have a second chance, a chance to make us both happy?" Ace asked. Glancing at the mirror, you watched the reflection of both. It was another gift from Ace, one you hadn't asked for. But it was beautiful and really helped you stay sane. In the beginning, Ace burned you. But these past weeks, he's been so nice, kind, and maybe a little bit overprotective. Just like a real boyfriend would.

You didn't want to admit it, but you kinda started to get Stockholm syndrome. He just made it hard to keep on hating him. "Let's try. But I'm gonna need time, so please don't rush me or you."
