Ace POV.
They look so pretty. I love waking up to them. The dust particles and sun make it look like they are glowing. They look so calm. I wouldn't trade this for the world.
"Aahg!" Shit. Shit. Shit. They're awake. They saw me staring. Shit.
"Ehhh... sorry about that Y/N. I was spacing out; I didn't mean to stare."
That giggle was adorable. What did I do to deserve them? There is no way I can be the best for them. They deserve better. I'm an idiot.
"Ace!"
"Oh! Sorry again."
"Stop doing that."
"What?" I'm so stupid. I probably messed up again. I can't do anything right can I?
"Stop looking down on yourself. You deserve everything you have and more. Nobody on this ship thinks bad of you just because of your father. You are your own person, Ace. That's what I love about you."
That's right. They always manage to get rid of those thoughts. They love me. They wouldn't lie to me, so that must be true.
"Thank you Y/N"
"Your welcome you firecracker. I wanted to say... Happy Valentine's Day!"
"Awwwww. I wanted to say it first this year! You always say it first!"
There is that stupid giggle again. God, I love you Y/N. I really did want to say it first this year though! That's why I stayed up all night!
"I love you, Ace."
"I love you too."
Bonus!
Your POV.
"Ace, you didn't have to stay up all night" This idiot stayed up all night just to tell me happy Valentine's day first. He's so selfless and kind. If only he could see that in himself. Then again, if I went through the same things he did, I would probably have a hard time loving myself too.
" I know, but I wanted to tell you Happy Valentine's Day as soon as you woke up." And he's asleep! His mumbling voice is so cute. I'm glad he trusts me enough to sleep on me. His snoring is so cute, and his freckles are nice.
"Goodnight Firecracker."
