Superb awkward silence reigned the room that Ace was in...Well, it wasn't only him. Marco, Thatch, and (y/n) was there. The Elder left in order to sort out some things, leaving the young people in the room.

The quartet sat around a round table, (y/n) was directly facing Ace while Marco was on his left and Thatch was on his right.

Speaking of Thatch...

"I thought you had died..."

Thatch knew his brother was talking to him—like, who else was almost murdered? Back to the point...

"Well," the pompadour man scratched the back of his head as he smile nervously. "It's kinda hard to explain—"

"We found out that he still had a pulse so we quickly had the nurses operate on him-yoi. After a few weeks of pure suspense for everyone on the ship, Thatch finally woke up. It took him another month to completely recover-yoi."

It was Marco who spoke for Thatch, which he was thankful for but Thatch being Thatch, made a childish face at the pineapple for interrupting him. Marco just ignored him but he was inwardly amused.

"I see..." Ace let out a shaky sigh as he ran a hand through his hair. Finally, he let out a strained yet relived smile as he face the table in front of his. "I'm just glad your alive..."

The two commanders broke out into wide grins at this. Thatch wrapped an arm around Ace's shoulder as Marco ruffled the fire user's hair. Ace tried to resist, keyword: tried, but after being away from two of his closest family members—one he almost lost—he succumbed to the affections and laughed heartily.

The fuffliness lasted for a few seconds before Marco stopped, Thatch following and unwrapped his arm around Ace. His attention now turned to the only girl in the room.

"So Ace," Thatch beginning grinning again but for a totally different reason this time. "Who the beautiful gal in front of us?"

You noticed that you were being pointed out as Ace spluttered, one—out of embarrassment and two—has no idea what to say as to not make you look bad or anything.

"Oh. Just forget about me." You turned your face away from the trio to make your point. "Pretend I'm not even here and go on talking about your pirate stuff."

"Well touché~"

Thatch pouted as Ace looked at you. Why were you being cold all of the sudden? And why such a big emphasis on the word pirate?

He wanted to ask you other questions as well but the look on your face makes it seem like you don't really want to talk to anyone right now. Marco though, didn't notice or either he didn't care.

"Do you have something against us-yoi?"

Your eye twitched at the question directed towards you but you kept up your I-don't-care attitude and continued looking away from the men.
