You were running faster than usual, not worrying about scratching your face, or your knees. You had to see him right now, and you knew exactly where he was. You were smiling, adrenaline rushing through your body. Why that ? Let just say that it's not every day that you learn a secret about Ace.
Luffy had dropped this one unknowingly, before gasping and looked at you with fear in his little round eyes. He knew that you would immediately tease his brother and that he would be the one paying the consequences. And he knew you well, the little boy didn't even have the time to say a word that you were already miles away, looking for Ace.

You spotted him next to the river, examining the water, his usual pipe next to him. You slowed down and sat next to him. The boy didn't really pay attention to you and kept his eyes on the river. You coughed a little, and he finally looked at you, you grinned.

- Hey there Ace ~!

Your friend narrowed his eyes, knowing that something was fishy about your attitude.

- Hey, ___.
- It's a beautiful day, isn't it ?
- Sure... What do you want ? I'm busy. He said refocusing on the water.

You smiled even more, you knew that soon he wouldn't be able to focus on anything else besides you.

- Hmm...So I heard that you have some little secrets...~ You said in a teasing tone.

It immediately worked. The boy instantly stiffed.

- I don't know whatcha talking about ! He yelled.
- Nice reaction, for someone who has nothing to hide ~
- Tsk. Leave me alone !
- Too bad I wanted to talk about it...I wished I had heard that from you and not your little brother...

You expected him to be really angry right now, but he was looking at you with widened eyes and flushed cheeks, once he noticed your gaze on him the boy turned his head and crossed his arms on his chest.

- R-really ?
- Of course ! You smiled, you liked where this was going.
- A-and whatcha think about it ?

You stayed silent for a while trying to find the right words, but Ace didn't take your silence as a good answer.

- Never mind ! Forget it ! I knew that it would end up like that ! He yelled grabbing his pipe and walked away from you.

You got up on your feet and run after him.

- Wait, Ace ! I think it's great ! I mean....I didn't know about it, but I'm glad to know it !

The boy suddenly stopped in his tracks and you bumped into his back. Even from behind you could see that even his ears were turning red.

- So you're ok with it ? He asked turning around to face you, raising his eyebrows.
- Yes, Ace ! You thought that I was going to reject you because of that ?!
- I didn't know that you'll be ok with me loving you ! He blurted out as his blush deepened.

You paused. You looked at him completely lost and became as red as he was.

- W-What ? You love me ?!
- That's the secret we were talking about, right...Right ?! He asked starting to panic.
- No ! I thought we were talking about your father !
- HE TOLD YA ABOUT IT TOO ?! I'M GONNA KILL HIM ! He shouted.
- NO, ONLY ABOUT YOUR FATHER ! I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS ! You shouted back automatically, used to your numerous fights.

The boy opened his mouth and closed it again, he was redder than Dadan's necklace. You let out a small chuckle and smiled before getting closer to the angry and blushing kid.

- Well, I like this secret much more than the other one. You whispered before kissing his cheek.

The boy touched his cheek still blushing and looked at you in awe, before frowning.

- Still gonna kick his ass ! He said before running away.

Secrets really are the best. ~
