One Piece One Shots (Requests: Closed)

You're Perfect (Ace, AU)

It's surprising the kind of response you get when you say you're quitting. O.o

Anyway. I'm going to start working on my requests from here on out. I just wanted to write this one... because I had a strong idea for it... so I hope you all enjoy it!

Song: Perfect
Artist: Ed Sheeran (Cover by J. Fla)

His hand wraps around hers as he takes her outside to the balcony. No one would notice if the two of them weren't there. They make it to the quiet area before he turns back around and glances at her.
His arms wrap around her body and he pulls her against his chest. His hand slides up to the back of her head. His eyes stare into her (e/c) orbs before he whispers into her ear, "You look perfect, tonight."
  Her face ignites, but she can't tear her eyes away from his. Her heart beats against her rib cage as his finger nears her face to brush a (h/c) strand out of her face.
  He stops, takes a step back, and holds out his hand, "Dance with me?"
  "I'd love to," she smiles and nods. He pulls her back into an embrace and taking her hand.
  They dance in the dark, with only the stars to guide them. They dance in silence, only with the faint music floating through the door to lead them. Every once in a while, when he'd spin her around, her dress would poof up and she'd laugh.
  He loves her laugh. He loves everything about her; the way she's always so beautiful, and the way she's always trying to be kind and helpful–sweet. She feels the same way; she loves all of his freckles and that strange habit of his to not wear a shirt, even the fact that he sometimes randomly falls asleep while eating. Guess most people would say that they accepted every part of each other, good and bad; guess some people would call it love.
  Later in life, they'll never forget falling in love at this age, even younger, when they have no idea what love truly was. Even if they are too afraid to admit it aloud, they know deep down that they feel something is different about the other compared to other people.
  It isn't until a few years after that night that they finally voice, and understand, the way they feel. It's late at night again, but this time they're just in his backyard. He has a few of his friends over for the housewarming party.
  They're standing barefoot in the grass, their favorite song playing in the background, when Marco walks over and places a hand on Ace's shoulder, "Well, brother, I've got to go back home-yoi. Thanks for having me-yoi."
  "So soon?" Ace laughs before he pulls the blond into a hug. "Alright. I'll talk to you soon, right?"
  "Of course, you too, (Y/n)-yoi," Marco sends her a smile before he starts to walk away. He stops before turning back to the couple, "Oh, (Y/n), you look perfect, tonight-yoi."
  Ace watches as the man walks away before he looks at the (h/c)-haired woman. Sure, he thought she looked amazing, but he just couldn't figure out how to tell her without stumbling over his words.
  "I thought I looked like a mess," she lets out a chuckle before her (e/c) orbs look over to Ace.
  His hand unconsciously brushes a strand of hair behind her ear before he whispers to her, "But you heard him, you look perfect."
  Her heart starts to pick up speed again, it's a strange occurrence because it only happens around him, in these moments. His hand slips behind her head before he starts to lean in. His lips lightly graze hers, but he quickly pulls away, "W-what... was-"
  "I love you," he watches her as her face starts to turn red, but he doesn't wait for a response before he kisses her lips again. This time is different though, it lasts for more than a split second, it feels like it lasts eternity, "Would you like to be my girlfriend?"
  "Yes," she wraps her arms around his neck and puts her lips on his. His hands rest on her hips as they kiss slowly. They couldn't be any happier, "I love you too."
  They become an inseparable couple, even more so when she walks down the isle. The dress she's wearing makes his heart stop. Once she gets in front of him and he lifts the veil, he can't help but speak, "I don't deserve you. But darling, you look perfect tonight."
  He still struggled with accepting himself, but she's a strong woman. If he has her by his side he can accomplish anything. He knows this just by looking at her.
  After the vows and the "I do"s, they're officially a married couple. They didn't have to smile for the camera, because they couldn't stop smiling. He also couldn't stop himself from kissing her, to him, she's the absolute cutest when she's blushing.
  She smiles as she closes the picture album. She's sitting between his legs with his arms around her. He has his chin in the crook of her neck, "I want a girl."
"Well... you don't get to decide, Ace," she runs her fingers through his hair. "It's up to fate."
"I still want a girl," he pouts and pulls her close to his chest. "I don't want to share you with another man."
"It's our child, Ace," she laughs causing his world to turn upside down. She still has that effect on him. "Maybe I don't want to share you with another woman, ever think of that?"
"Fair enough," he mumbles against her skin. "I love you."
"I love you too, Ace," she closes her eyes. "Thank you for loving me."
"I should be telling you that," he sighs before he crawls out in front of her. "I never thought anyone could love someone like me. I never thought... that you would love me because of who I was. I always thought that everyone was going to abandon me... just like my father."
She gazes at him with a sad look in her eyes before her hand placed itself on his cheek, "I never thought that I was pretty. I didn't think that anyone could ever love someone as ugly as me... my whole youth I thought that way, but then I met you. I was never so happy to be told that I was beautiful. I couldn't care less about who your father is, I couldn't care less about anything... as long as you're here with me."
"I love you, (Y/n). You always know what to say," he pulls her in and gives her a small kiss. "And I'll continue to say this, but you're perfect."
