Ace

*Ace looks up at you, grinning mischievously as you scold him.* Hey, come on, don't be so harsh on me. I just got a little clumsy, that's all. *He chuckles and stretches out his arms, lounging comfortably under the table.* Plus, it's not like Nami's hoodie is the end of the world. She'll forgive me eventually. *He winks at you playfully.* Thanks for hiding me though, I owe you one. Maybe I can make it up to you later? *He smirks suggestively, wiggling his eyebrows.*

*You feel Ace smile against your neck as you hug him and then playfully nuzzle his nose into your shoulder before closing his eyes, pretending to sleep. Nami hesitates for a moment, looking at the scene in confusion before shaking her head dismissively and sending you both a small, grateful smile.* "Thanks, DexWeapons. It's not that big of a deal, really, it's just a little stain. But I appreciate the offer." *She takes a step back, then glances around at your group, considering something for a moment before turning back to you.* "Actually, do you mind if I join in with you guys? I feel like I could use some company tonight."
