Dont Hate Me. {Student!Portgas D. Ace x Teacher!Reader}

Three

I'm not sure if this chapter's interesting, but let me know what you guys think. Also, would you guys mind if I put swearing in this later? I'll classify it as mature for other themes as well unless you want a clean fanfic.

Strolling through the open gates, you held back a yawn from staying up too late. It happened quite frequently, but you just couldn't help being drawn into stories written by online users. It was your little secret.

Reaching your office, you were surprised to see two familiar students standing outside, chatting wildly. They both wore their own respective hats and clothing, breaking the school rules — which everyone did, and each had a metal staff in their hands.

Licking your lips, you reached into your pocket for your keys and cleared your throat, gaining their attention. "Excuse me, may I help you?"

The shorter boy with the red cardigan and blue shorts with cuffs bounded up to you, grinning like a lunatic. You stepped back and nervously fiddled with your keys. He was scaring you a little. "Hey, you're [name]-sensei, right? The one who's holding Ace in for detention at lunchtime for the next week." Blinking, you realised why they looked familiar. They were Portgas's brothers.

"Uh, yeah. Is there... a problem with that?" For some reason, talking with Portgas's brothers made you nervous. Maybe you were subconsciously trying not to mess up your first meeting with them to make sure you had a good relationship? You weren't sure.

The other brother came forward and pulled the younger one back a little, understanding you weren't in the best comfort of being two centimetres away from someone. "Sorry about that miss, he's a little rowdy, but yes. There is a problem with our brother being in detention during lunch. You see, he has school sports training with us today and if he doesn't attend, the team won't be able to win against the opposition during the weekend."

You raised an eyebrow and walked towards your office door, unlocking it and holding it open for them to come inside. "You're making it seem like he's the key to winning all your matches."

You sat down and placed your folders to the side as you listened in. "Ah, he's not. Not really anyway. I'm certain our team can manage without him, " you stopped him there, knowing he had more to say.

"Well, there you go. You don't need him. You can win it by yourselves without him." He restrained from back-talking and carried on the conversation, sitting down with his brother, poles leaning against your table.

"Yes, it seems so, but the team we are facing are exceptionally good. The team would feel reassured if he was to attend."

Sighing, you pulled out your schedule to check the times that you had work and was free. "This better not be a scam to pull Portgas-san from his detentions."

Eyes lighting up, the blonde immediately straightened. "Of course not [name]-sensei." Your gaze flickered up to him and back down to the paper. You could just reschedule his detention for before school tomorrow instead. However, since it's a change in times, he's going to help out with paperwork. Finally deciding on what you were going to do, you flipped some folders open and realised that you had not called either of the students' families or informed the school.

Starting to slowly draw a circle on the table, you memorised what you wanted to say and where you wanted the conversation to go. "Arranging some changes to his detention... should be fine. However, has Portgas-san told you why he was exactly in detention?"

The smaller one, obviously not being able to hold his excitement in, exclaimed his thoughts. "Yeah! He said he was in a fight with the Nyaban Brothers because they drew lipstick on his face* when this old hag-," his brother's hand snapped forward and covered his mouth, muffling his speech.

"Shut it, Luffy!"

You raised an eyebrow and slammed the folder shut. "Well then. I guess he did not tell you the real story."

Sweat trickled down the top-hatted man's forehead as he nodded. You eyed them and yawned, leaning back in your chair. "Ignoring the 'old hag' comment," You could practically see the older brother blessing kami. "You would be wise to watch your brother's actions. It seems he has a thing for... pink haired people."

Not getting the message, they both furrowed their eyebrows, confused. "Do you mean...?"

You waved them off and stood from your seat, once again holding the door open for them. "Take it how it seems. I'll let yourselves decide what that means."

Gathering their things, they passed you as they walked through the doorway. "Thank you, [name]-sensei."

Following suit, you walked outside as well, locking your office door. "No problem. Just remember, I trust you guys." They looked taken aback and you smiled at them. "See you guys later then."

*...in a fight with the Nyaban Brothers because they drew lipstick on his face - if you didn't understand, he had lipstick kiss marks on his mouth and scratches on his back. Don't worry, they didn't do the deed.

[to everyone] Q: Do you have any siblings?
[personal] A: I have an older brother. We're cool but I get often annoyed with him. It's like he's actually trying to annoy me.
