Ace Relationship Headcanons

Author Note: Happy New Year! This is in celebration of Ace’s birthday. Please fill out the form at the end because I want to write these as motivation to write throughout the year for these characters as a birthday thing. I can’t remember if I tried it before but let’s try it again! Form here and I tried for no spoilers

Portgas D. Ace:

• Right off the bat, every single person on the Moby Dick wanted the two of you together. They would purposefully put you two alone or talk up the other when alone with either of you
• Marco and Izo take credit for the two of you finally getting together, well, that’s what they tell people anyway
• Look at those freckles man. He gets flustered and defensive when anyone else brings them up but when you give them attention, he gets shy and bashful
• Kiss along his freckles and you might see a small flame erupt somewhere, he just grins and brushes off your concern as he tries to discreetly put it out
• When you hold hands, you’ll notice how calloused they are and some burns that have long since healed from when he first got his devil fruit
• He runs hot so he’s like a furnace. With that being said, he will get pouty when it’s summer and you don’t want to be near him
• Bouncing off of that though, he’s the best source of comfort. He’s so warm that hugs with him are so much better
• He loves being in physical contact with you at all times. Even the smallest interaction of linking pinkies will have him grinning
• That being said, there are many times where he just puts all of his weight on you when he falls asleep, many times the Whitebeard pirates laugh at you before helping you get him off
• It’s almost like you’ve known Luffy before even meeting him with how much Ace talks about him (he tells strangers about Luffy, of course, he’s gonna info dump on his lover)
• (How do you not fall in love with Luffy after meeting him either)
• He’s a big fan of laying his head on your lap and, like a puppy will nudge at your hand until it’s in his hair (will pout and huff until you do)
• He loves grabbing your face and squishing your cheeks together to give you a kiss
• Speaking of kisses, whether it was quick, silly, long, passionate, or just a brush of lips, he’s grinning at the end of it
• His other favorite spot to kiss you is your forehead. There’s just something about cupping your face and kissing your forehead that sends butterflies through hisstomach
• Even with the busy crew life of the Yonko’s ship, they are quick to evacuate an area that Ace needs for a date
• Obviously, there will be fights in relationships but Ace doesn’t like when he’s the reason you’re upset. He’s quick to offer a breather when it becomes too heated (he’s better at sensing when you’re angry and it literally becomes too hot when he’s angry)
• He knows he’s in love with you but, when he can picture no one else in his future that he wants more than you, he knows he’s in deep
• Speaking of ^, in the dead of night, he’ll hold you close and wonder out loud about your future together. He’ll get flustered if you answer him when he thought you were asleep but just grin and ask what you think
• He’s a menace though, he’ll call you all sorts of nicknames, especially in front of the crew, so he can see you blush. They were jokes at first but even the cheesiest nicknames like “sugar plum” and “honey bee” sometimes slip out without him wanting to tease you
