you and ace have known each other for a couple years, friendship blossoming since your first day in Whitebeard’s crew. he’s been nothing but respectful, kind, entertaining, the jokes just bounce off you and him. it’s a good mix of silly and serious, and maybe you’ve wondered if there was somethings more, but all you’ve ever been is friends. until the crew throws a party and ace notices a man flirting with you. nonstop. liquid courage is not on his side tonight.
