This is my first AceLu story and to be honest I don't think It's good, this is one of those stories that you write and your like it's good but then a month later your like woah! I was gonna publish this? So yeah, If it's not looking good I'll probably just delete it, pretend it never existed and never write another story ever again.
Disclaimer: If I owned One Piece Ace would still be alive.
"Oh~ Acey wacey~ where are you~?" one of my many fangirls said, I had managed to give them the slip by hiding behind a bush in the schoolyard. I was crawling through the grass hoping I wouldn't be seen.
Snap. Shit!
One of the girls started walking towards where I snapped the branch. 3, 2, 1. "It's Ace! I found him!". And suddenly there was a stampede of crazy fangirls chasing me.
I was running through the now empty hallways. These people don't want to get caught in the stampede. 'Gotta hide, gotta hide, gotta hide!' I mentally yelled to myself.
I desperately continued running while hoping the bell would ring so those girls would have to go to their classes. 'They couldn't chase me forever could they!?'
A thought struck me, 'the boys locker room' its off limits to girls which makes it perfect for hiding. I kept running in the direction of the gym increasing my speed with the thought of finally getting rid of my stalk- err I mean fangirls.
After a few minutes I finally made it to the boys locker room and I could hear a chorus of 'aww's and 'boo's'. I sighed in relief 'finally'.
"Yo Ace! What are you doing here? You don't take gym now" said my best friend Sabo. We had different schedules so while Sabo had gym now, I had my break, "I was just escaping from my fangirls", Sabo shuddered, "Tell me about it, all the girls in this school are insane".
I chuckled and playfully hit Sabo on the shoulder, "So you don't mind if I crash here until the bell rings?" Sabo gave me a strange look as if I had the stupidest question, "Do you even have to ask" I beamed at him "thanks man, you're the best".
We continued talking like that until the bell finally rang and we had to go to our respective classes. I made my way towards geometry because that's the class I was supposed to go to next but on my way there I ran into another one of my friends, Law.
"Ace, I've been waiting for you", Somehow I had a feeling I knew what he was gonna ask, Law's a smartass which leads him to skipping class all the time since he's probably even smarter than the teachers.
"Let me guess, am I gonna skip class?" Law nodded at me with a playful smirk and I sighed in defeat "Sure, why not" I answered him with a hint of playfulness.
We headed in the direction of the school's back doors because we couldn't let ourselves get caught while ditching class.
As soon as we were outside and free from the school we made our way to the usual place, which was actually just a small coffee shop on a little corner near our neighborhood.
We entered the shop and the blonde girl who works there only needed to look at us before she began to prepare our usual order.
"So Law, what have you been up to? I heard a rumor that you and Kid are 'more than friends', is it true?" I asked him curiously while trying to look serious, "You seem to have pretty reliable sources, and the answer is yes".
"So you're dating him?" I asked him worriedly, I've heard rumors about Kid and he isn't exactly nice. "More or less" he answered calmly. Looks he isn't going to tell me.
Our orders were brought to us and we thanked the woman. Afterwards our conversation dropped down to much less serious topics, like school, my stalkers, the huge pimple Sabo had on his forehead last week.
Sweet~ dis~position~
Ne~ver to so-
Law fumbled to pick up his phone, looked at the caller id and believe it or not he blushed before finally clicking answer, "H-hello, Kid". He stuttered!.
"Yes, of course… I skipped school… You want to see me later?… Drop by my place later… I love you too…".
I think my face must have been one of complete shock because Law burst out laughing at the ridiculous expression I was making. "Ace you look like you just found out your girlfriends pregnant" he said while trying to contain his laughter, I blushed before shouting "Shut up, and I don't have a girlfriend!".
"Well I'm sorry to have to leave so soon but as you can see I have a newly found appointment with Kid that I can't miss, so I'll be seeing you later". He got up, waved his goodbye and left.
I guess I should head home now to, considering school ended like half an hour ago. As I made my way down the street I heard a little girl screaming, she was standing near a tree and she wouldn't stop crying so I ran over to her to see what was wrong.
"Hey kid, are you all right?" I asked as I knelt in front of her. "the k-kitty w-won't come d-down from the t-twee". The tree wasn't very big, I could easily climb it, and so I did. I searched around for the kitten until I spotted a moving black bundle of fur on one of the branches.
"Here kitty~ come over to Ace~ I've got a big juicy fishy with your name on it~" that seemed to do the trick because as soon as I said that the kitten came running towards me.
The kitten jumped into my arms and bit my thumb, I yelped at the sudden sting of pain and glared at the kitten. I jumped down from the branch and I landed gracefully on the ground. "Hey kid I got your ki- huh?" Where'd the kid go?.
"Horohorohorohorohoro", I quickly turned around at the sound of that laughter only to see a girl who looked my age with pink hair. PINK hair. The next words that came out of her mouth confused me, "your destinies are now one," what is she talking about? She stared at the kitten for a while and then locked eyes with me, "take good care of him" she said and right before my eyes she disappeared.
I stared with shock, people can't just vanish into thin air, maybe she was just a hallucination, maybe she was never there? I decided to just pretend it never happened and passed it off as my mind playing tricks on me. "What am I gonna do with you?" I said while looking down at the bundle of fur squirming in my arms.
'It is pretty cute, even though he bit me'. I continued walking, turned a few corners and I finally reached my apartment. The kitten had fallen asleep at some point so when I unlocked the door and entered my apartment I walked over to the couch and gently laid it down it. I keep calling it an 'it' since I haven't checked it's gender yet, so I carefully rolled him over a bit and lifted his leg, it's a boy.
"I guess I'll go to the pet store tomorrow to buy some cat food", I sighed and flopped down on the couch next to the kitten. At this point I felt a wave of tiredness hit me and I knew that I was about to have a narcoleptic attack. The last thing I remembered seeing was the kitten waking up from his nap, 'oh great'.
Onyx eyes stared at the sleeping figure in front of him, noticing no sign of movement he jumped off the couch and landed on his feet, not knowing where he was he decided to explore the area.
He somehow wandered into the kitchen by following his nose and started scratching at the fridge but saw no results, he entered the bathroom and started playing with the toilet paper as if it were a ball of yarn, he got bored easily and decided to return to the living room, once he was there he climbed on to the couch again and tried to wake up the young man who had fallen asleep.
He approached the man and started licking his freckles thinking it was food. Nothing happened. "Meow~ meow~" he started mewling hoping the noise would wake him up but failed again. He leaned down the sleeping figures face and licked his lips.
The kitten had let out a loud shriek afterwards and collapsed on the couch. Both of them now unconscious.
