Disclaimer; it's hot, it's heavy… It's the mountain of tissues I cried with warm tears from when I watched episode 482+483
Damn you Oda it's all your fold… well… there's your claimer!

AcexOC

This was originally meant as a special chappy as a dedication to those episodes. But since I kept falling asleep while writing this chappy and as time passed it seemed to fit into the normal story line. This happened lol. That's why this chappy is longer than usual but I don't think you gals will mind that ;)

Also the Special story: "Instinct, I never" has been updated on 28/12/2011
you can find it on my profile page!

Please review and Enjoy!

DON'T FORGET TO VIEW THE POLL ON MY PAGE AND REVIEW!

"You should go talk to her, get us some info." I said taking a swig of my rum. We had now been at the bar for a while, drinking a bit. Ok more than a bit but anyway we were also in the need of some info on Blackbeard.

So I suggested to Ace to have a talk with the waitress, who kept glancing at him all night. Yet Ace didn't seem to notice it or maybe he didn't notice it on purpose? I don't care!

"Why me?" he asked questionably. "Because I'm a girl and she'll more likely tell you everything that you want to know then to me. Plus, I think you're already on her radar." I said pointing behind Ace. We both looked at the waitress again. I could see she tried her best sexy walk for Ace. What the fuck? Ace grabbed his rum and took a swig. I then could feel his eyes looking at me bored. While I was still looking at the girl, observing her moves while she served customers.

"I don't know. Not tonight." Ace said looking at his bottle and taking another swig, playing with the bottle some more. I looked at him. We were getting closer to Blackbeard, I had this feeling, maybe only 3 days or so. We needed this if we wanted to catch up with him. I looked at Ace. "Oh c'mon Ace, use your charms." I said and took a swig of my rum. Man that stuff tasted good!

"Huh?" he reacted confused. "…" I didn't respond and just gave him a look while taking another sip of my rum. He looked at me and I just kept staring back. "What?" he finally said. Really not knowing what he had done. "Don't try and fool me." I said indicating at him, swinging around with my bottle of rum. "Use those cute freckles and six-pack of yours and get us some info. You'll have it done in no time. Unless you don't think you can do it and don't wanna catch up with him." I said the last sentence slightly teasingly. I knew/had a feeling Ace wouldn't be vulnerable for this kind of teasing but it was still fun to do. I saw that he was thinking whether to do it yes or no. His face showing mixed emotions but who knows if they were positive or negative? I'm not good with these things. The fact I have alcohol in my system doesn't help right now.

I then could see Ace rolling his eyes. "Fine, I'll be back in a minute" he said standing up. I just gave him a big smile "Haha so you do have confidence in your freckles ey?" I said giving him a teasing smile, he just raised his eyebrow. I then started to laugh and waved my hand, waving him towards the girl "haha don't worry. I'll be here waiting" I said still laughing a bit. He gave me one of his smiles and when'd over to the girl.

As Ace walked away I took another sip of my rum. I looked over at the two as Ace started to make his move. It seemed to go smoothly but annoyingly enough somewhere in my gut I didn't like Ace flirting with others. Yeah, yeah I know I shouldn't be the one to complain. I'm the one who forced him to and it was for sake of information but still. Sigh, I also had to remind myself that a couple of days ago I was telling myself to back off and then what happened on the boat today and during the camping while I clang in his arms for warmth. Even after all that I still didn't think I had the right to say anything. I'm not his girlfriend ore anything and we're both free to do whatever we want.

As I was thinking, I kept looking over to them every now and then. 'It seems like that girl is completely falling for Ace… can't blame her haha'

"Hey sexy" my thoughts had been interrupted by this guy who came by flirting. Sexy? What the fuck? I looked him over and vaguely recognized him from one of the guys I saw when we entered town. He wasn't bad looking. I just gave him a friendly smile. "Hey" I said and then got an idea. Let's see if I can pull some info out of this sucker. I looked the new guy in the eyes and regained my smile. He smiled back, sat down and I put my plan into motion.

2 hours later

In the end I had gotten some info out of guy but not a lot. He told me Blackbeard had wrecked this town from top to bottom and a couple of people had died. When I tried to ask how they were killed and where Blackbeard was heading next, he started to get slightly vague about it. I guess the reason was that in the time I had talked to him we both had drunken a little… ok a lot. Before you start accusing me, He drank a lot too! It's not my fold he kept buying drinks for himself and for me. Thought in the end I was happy that he had drunk so much that he fell over with his head on the table, fast asleep. As I said, I didn't mind. He was starting to get too clingy.

When the guy went knock-out and started snoring, I just laughed. I now felt I wasn't completely myself. I shoved my glass aside and rubbed my head slightly, I felt a bit dizzy too. I really had done my best getting drunk tonight. Even though it hadn't been my intention at first.

I looked over at the bar and could vaguely see Ace still sitting at the bar with the girl, I think. Why did that make me feel jealous again? I had to get out of here before the alcohol would make me do stupid things I'd later regret!

I stood up and I eyed Ace. In my dizzy and vagueness, I could see he saw me. I gave a slight smile in his direction and walked/wobbled up the stairs to our bedroom. I yawned and stood infront of the bedroom door trying to find the key which was in my pocket… somewhere. I sooo hate this when I'm… how shall we call it? Tipsy?

During my train of thoughts and search for the key, I hadn't realized that somebody stood behind me. Two hands leaned against the door, each hand next to my head, pinning me down. I first started too slightly panic but I then saw the log pose and the candy cane bracelet. I looked over my shoulder. "Ace?" To me it had seemed that he had fun with the other girl and I expected that he wouldn't be able to get rid of her for a long time.

"And did you have fun tonight?" he said. Even in my current state, I understood that he said that with a slight bitter edge to it. Why? I turned around wobbling slightly, while still leaning against the door. I tried to concentrate and looked at his face. I could see he was slightly drunk just like me, 'great'.

"Yes I did" I said happily. Even I in my drunken state, yes I now admit I'm kinda drunk and not 'tipsy', I could see Ace's face faltered into a 'not so happy' one. I didn't really know what to do so I just said what came up first. "What about you?" '… how stupid can I BE? That statement is like throwing oil on a fire. But if Ace is the fire… does that mean I'm the oil? What the fuck? What kind of weird thoughts do I have?'

"Great, how was that guy?" he said. "He's ok" I said carelessly as I looked at Ace. He still didn't look to happy so I quickly changed subject. Yes apparently even with my drunken and weird mind I was able to conclude stuff like this… go brain! "What about the girl? Got any uhm info"

Ok so my mind is still having some problems, I'm still scraping it together. Thanks to the alcohol I was getting the concentration of Luffy… yeah that should say enough for you people to understand, right?.

"Forget her! What did the guy want?" he said determent, I looked slightly bewildered at his reaction. Why was he all of a sudden so pushy? I looked at him in the eyes as best as I could. I could now definitely see the blush that was on his face from the drunkenness. "You're talking bullshit now" I said plainly. Before Ace could make a comeback, I had finally found my key. I opened the door and we stumbled in. I threw the key on the table and wanted to walk over to the bedside lamp to turn it on, when I felt Ace's hand grab mine. He had apparently closed the door behind him, making it even darker here in the room. I was now facing him again. I guess, I looked annoyed and tired. Hey, who wouldn't at this hour? It was almost 4 in the morning and we had been up from 8 yesterday morning. Even though we had slept a bit, that was still too long.

Ace had this stern look and several emotions mixed together. Which I couldn't seem to figure out what those mixed emotions were. I've got to tell you I SUCK at reading a guy's emotions!

"What did the guy want?" he said again with an on guard kind of voice. "I don't know what the guy wanted but I do know what I wanted. The guy is gonna have a massive hangover tomorrow and is now broke." I said smugly but with a frowning face.

It was weird, I never expected to have this kind of conversation with him. It's because this was a side of Ace that I never had seen and never expected to see. In my eyes Ace's reaction made me believe he was jealous but this most likely is my imagination ore crazy thoughts thanks to the alcohol. What I do know for sure is that if this was another guy then Ace, then I would have literally told them to mind their own business and go screw themselves. Which I've said to several guys before so this is no bullshit tough talk I'm making up. Still for some reason I couldn't say that to Ace, I guess I… liked his reaction?

"Well so you got the drinks and what else did you get from the guy then?" he said raising his voice. On second thought this interrogation thing was starting to piss me off!

"Well let's put that aside shall we? What did the pretty girl have to say? Mister big shot!" I said defensive. Yeah I guess you could say that I changed my mind and was about to tell Ace to go screw himself. Ace now looked agitated. Again another outing that I never expected him to show. Atleast not towards me.

"Pretty?" he said questionably. "Yes, PRETTY!" I said confirming. "What do you mean pretty girl? I just when'd to her to get information like you said I should!" he said defensive. "Well then what information did you get from her?" I yelled offensive back. He was silent for only a second but it still seemed too long.

"I didn't get any" he finally yelled. That just shocked me, we've been downstairs for a good 3 hours, which in he investigated the girl in for a good 2 hours of the 3!

"Why not? She obviously had the resources and things that we needed to know! And she DEFENITLY lusting for you! So what have you been doing the last 2 HOURS?" I yelled bewildered. He was silent again for a second. I could see him obviously getting frustrated. Yes I know I said before that I couldn't read emotions, that's partly true. I can read emotions a bit, just not the too complicated and mixed once. And this was just to obvious.

"I was distracted" he said. He seemed to be trying to keep himself into tone. I don't want that right now, I just want the truth damit! "Distracted by what?" I yelled hysterically. What the hell could distract him so much from asking a dumb, silly, little woman some bloody questions in 2 hours time? Especially with his charms!

"I was distracted by you!" he yelled at me. We fell silent for a second…

"Wait… What the hell did I do?" I practically yelled. I was completely confused now. I could hear him letting out a frustrated sigh. "Just leave it" he finally yelled. He wanted to walk away but I stopped him. Tightly keeping the hold of our hands, which we were still holding for some reason, since the beginning of the conversation. I don't know the reason for us still holding hands so don't ask me why, I'm still drunk…

I looked at him and he looked back at me. What did I do that he doesn't want to tell me and made him react the way he did? I kept looking at him and then it was like I giant hammer had hit me over the head! Don't tell me…

I had turned quiet and my eyes went slightly further open then they normally would. Ace had seen the reaction of my discovery and it seemed like he didn't dare too look at me anymore. He then apparently decided that the footing of the cubit next to us was 'oh so interesting'.

Him… distracted… by me? Did he keep an eye on me the whole time I had been sitting there with that guy? My brain was now slightly numb and any sense of anger or anything else in that category had vanished in that instant. Now that is one thing I didn't expect to hear. My eyes went back to normal and I looked at Ace, who was still looking at the cubit.

I was thinking clearer now and I knew the alcohol still had a big effect on me but still I was happy. I looked at him and it almost looked like he was slightly ashamed of the fact that he had admitted his jealousy so openly. Which reminds me of something else. Why are we having this conversation when we're drunk? Not that this conversation would go any smoother whether we'd be sober ore drunk but still.

Then this other saying I once heard came into my mind 'The only people who always speak the truth are children and drunk people'. Well I don't know about kids, they can be nasty liars too, but it is true that I've never seen a lying drunk before. Although this would explain why we would never have this conversation when we were sober, HAH! Take that! …Why am I reacting like this? Why am I thinking like this? Why do I have such a long train of thoughts? Why am I thinking of all of this NOW? FOCUS!

I focused back on Ace, he still didn't face me. I reached out with my other hand to his cheek and turned his head so that he faced me. When his eyes reached mine, I could see the insecure look in his eyes. I still had my hand on his cheek and moved my thumb in a caressing motion that I usually did when he was little and the last couple of time subconsciously. Tracing his freckles. I now could see his face better since my eyes had adjusted to the dark and thanks to the moonlight that was shining in threw the window.

I didn't have a frown on my face anymore. His expression was still insecure with every silent second that seemed to pass. When I noticed that, my lips curled up. You fool, don't give me a look like that, there's never a reason for that when you're with me. I was now smiling calm at Ace, he seemed to get less tense.

"Well if next time something bugs you ore you don't agree with it" I said to him. "Then do something about it" I whispered smiling and he seemed to be surprised by my words. I continued to rub my thumb over his cheek another couple of times until I let go of him and I turned around wanting to go to bed. The next thing that happened I totally didn't see coming. Ace had reached out again but instead of my hand he had pulled me back by my waist. When I turned around to face him, Ace's lips were pressed against mine. I swear, I tried to push him away! But the haziness and the dark and the lips and the moon and… yeah you're right. I just can't come up with a good excuse not to because I… I didn't want to push him away.

Since I couldn't come up with the excuse to not kiss back, I responded. As one of Ace's arms were around my waist, the other had found its place by resting on my lower back. Ace had big hands, they felt so comforting and warm. I leaned slightly more into Ace which resulted that his hold on me tightened. My hands found its way to his chest, giving me a great feeling under my finger tips. I thought his skin would be ruff but to my surprise it wasn't.

My lips started to tease his, taking his bottom lip softly in between mine and teasing it with my lips, tong and sometimes grazing my teeth. Whenever I grazed my teeth over his lip, his hand on my lower back would push me closer to him. His other hand had let go of my waist and was resting on my hip, going slightly up and down, feeling my curve. Every time he did that it gave me a warm thrill. Without realizing it, it even made me softly moan.

I noticed that when I moaned that he seemed to be affected by it. He pulled his lips back out of our hold. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He looked back at me, his eyes being half lidded like usual, which I assumed mine would be like now too.

What is it exactly that always made me feel attracted to Ace? Even as a kid he had this certain… I don't know… aura? Or something. It can't be just the six-pack and the freckles, neither is it the bad-boy look he's got or the fact that his dad is the pirate king. Even though they're not bad aspect and in some way those fact's, I guess, DO have a slight influence but that's just not the main reason. I don't even know what is! It's just… sigh, Ace? I just couldn't word it out in any other way and neither could I make any sense of it. Beside that, I just didn't care anymore!

I leaned forward again and I let my hands slide from his chest, over his collarbone up his neck. I let my fingers softly glide over his face so that I could reach his hat. I took hold of it gently and took it off, tossing it onto a chair nearby. I looked back at him and let my hand glide from his neck into his hair. I started to slightly mess with it and smiled at him, he smiled back. His hands both resting on my hips, going softly up and down, feeling my curves. I softly pulled him closer, which he cooperated to, so that our lips would reach again.

We immediately skipped the teasing and just went for it. Opening our mouths, our tongs reaching, tasting and exploring the others mouth. I had to admit, Ace was a great kisser. One of his hands, sneaked under my shirt and felt my now bare curves and lower back. Making me moan into the kiss slightly louder than before. I pressed myself against him. Subconsciously pushing my leg in between his, grazing him and earning a reasonably load groan from him. His hand that still rested on my hip went up to my upper back and the other under my shirt went over my ass, cupping it and pulling me towards him. By doing this he made my leg rub him even harder and making both me and him groan rather loudly into our kiss.

He then let go of my ass and gently bucked, surprising me by lifting me up bridal style. I let go of the kiss only to continue kissing his neck. Going over his jaw line softly making a trail of kisses towards his Adam's apple, while my hands softly rubbed his chest. As I kissed his neck I could feel his Adam's apple moving up and down as he breathed. I then focused on it, giving it butterfly kisses and putting slightly more pressure to it, which made him groan. In the meantime he had walked over to the bed and gently laid me down. I stopped kissing him and gave him a chance to get onto the bed too.

I now lied there on the bed with Ace hovering over me. He pecked my lips and then pulled back. With one hand he was going under my shirt, feeling my stomach and curves and the other he kept his balance. I looked at him with my half lidded eyes and saw Ace looking at me in a way I've never seen him look before. I can't explain it, but I liked it. I then let one of my hands go over his broad shoulder up into his neck, feeling him shiver. With the other hand, only with my fingertips, I traced the side of his face going over his jaw line. As I reached his chin and pulled my hand back he started too leaned forward, following my finger, not wanting to lose its touch. So I guided him until our lips met again into a gentle kiss.

It all felt so good, so soothing, so right, so comfortable, nice and warm… that my eyes started to close and I came to the point that I had to fight to stay awake. I felt Ace lips leaving mine only to continue kissing my neck, which made me softly moan. I still had my eyes closed tiredly, while Ace kept on kissing my neck, leaving a trace of soft butterfly kisses. Going from my neck to my collarbone.

My hands had slowed down, gently rubbing his neck and roaming threw his hair. I then felt him pulling back. I now stopped what I was doing with my hands, just letting them rest on the spot. I was trying to open my eyes but it was really hard to do so. I then felt his hand leave my from under my shirt, just to feel it reappear on my cheek. Pushing some strings of hair aside, and letting it rest there. His hand was big and warm.

I leaned into his touch and with a lot of concentration softly opened my eyes. I looked at him with my half lidded eyes. When I looked at him I almost felt like I was in some kind of trance. Which must have been the alcohol thought but I didn't care, it just felt great.

I saw that he smiled at me and leaned forward, kissing me tenderly onto my lips again. I wanted to respond back with a lot of passion but I was feeling to numb to do so. I then felt the warmth from above me shift to my side. Ace laid himself beside me and let his head rest onto the other pillow. I rolled over to my side and just looked at him for as long as I could, with him staring back at me. It wasn't one of those awkward stares, it felt right.

After a while I shifted closer towards him, his arm around me pulling me closer, making our body's completely touch. I then let my head rest on his shoulder/chest. I could hear him breathe and his heart beat racing rapidly. Was mine going just as fast? Did I make his heart beat so fast? It made me really happy to think I did and could do something like that to him.

We now just lied there on the bed.

The sun was slightly coming up. It already was really late when we went upstairs and then the yelling and the make out. We were for sure going to lose a complete day of catching up with Blackbeard but I didn't care anymore. Right now I was happy about Ace's reaction. Yeah I was really happy and I didn't have any regrets ore weird feelings like I thought I would if I had made out with him.

Ace shifted his arms around me so that both of us lay comfortable. I looked up at him and gave him a peck onto the lips and smiled at him. He too looked happy. I then put my head back down resting upon him.

It's weird that we seemed to be so comfortable with each other the last hour or so, without saying a word. Atleast I felt that way but what do I know? I'm drunk. I softly chuckled and snuggled more into Ace and felt that he tightened his hold on me again, snuggling into my hair. I then fell asleep.

And? was it cute or über fail?

I hope I didn't make Ace to OOC? I've got to be honest I don't have a clue on how Ace would react if he really got into a situation like this. I mean getting jealous.

I personally think he normally would have reacted immediately if he didn't like what he saw but with Sara it would be different because he knows her… I don't know! I just hope you enjoyed the chappy ^^

Since asking for reviews doesn't seem to work, I'm not gonna bother lol
HAPPY NEWYEAR!
