[My pov]
It's been a good couple months and I had decided to join the whitebeard pirates, I had mostly grown attached to Ace though, since he was the one I trusted the most and he kinda helped me back in my hometown.
But I started to feel odd towards him, almost as if, I felt very different towards him; I didn't know why.
Sighing to myself I decided to cuddle my pillow, it was late night at the moment and I was up pretty late, thinking.
Not before long I heard a knock at my door
"Kait are you still up?" A voice whispered, speak of the devil.
I got up and slowly twisted the knob of the door pulling it open a little, making a slight creaking sound
"Ace?" I looked up at him 'well what do you know. I was just thinking about you' my thoughts wondered
"Sleeping troubles?" He asked and I froze slightly but sighed quietly nodding
"Then... may I come in?" He asked and I smiled slightly opening up the door a bit more and moved to the side letting him walk in as I closed the door behind him.
"What about you? Why are you up so late?" I asked as he sat on the edge of my bed
"Just a lot of thinking lately" he sighed running a hand through his raven hair; I gazed at him in surprise while sitting next to him leaning my elbows on my legs with my jaw resting in my palm as I glanced at him
"What's on your mind Portgas-" just when I asked that question he cut me off with his own question
"Kaitlyn.. could you ever be sexually attracted to me? As in relationship wise?" He asked and my cheeks turned bright red with blush; clearing my throat I spoke
"Ahem.. what makes you ask this?" I asked looking a bit surprised.
Ace struggled to speak
"Well I um, it's just... agh! Nevermind" he looked away blushing and stood up and walked out.
'What was that all about' I tilted my head in confusion but soon dozed off falling into a deep peaceful sleep.
