It had been another long day aboard the Moby Dick and you are exhausted. Before anyone could bother you, you slip into your room and bury yourself under the covers. 

You had been feeling off for the past few days and after the long day you were ready to fall asleep and never wake up. You unbury your head and stare at the photo of Ace on your nightstand.

You sigh as you think back on your relationship. He was always the one to take care of you while you were in your moods, and he would always do his best to make you smile. In return you would get annoyed with his antics and become irritated at his overly optimistic attitude. You sigh again, you don't deserve someone like him.

At that moment you hear a knock at the door. "Y/n? Are you in here?" It was Ace. 

You rebury yourself under the covers in hopes he would either try another room or see you and think you're sleeping and not bother you. He calls for you again and when he receives no response he opens the door and pokes his head in.

 Instead of ignoring you like you'd hoped, he walks over to the bed and sits on the edge.

He nudges you a bit. "Y/n, are you awake?" You don't respond to him again, just wanting to be left alone. He pulls up the blanket gently and slips under next to you.

"Y/n I know you're not sleeping." He says moving a stray piece of hair out of your eyes. "What's wrong baby?" You open your eyes and just stare at his bare chest. After a few moments, he cups your face and forces you to look up at him.

"I'm happy that the sight of me leaves you speechless, but I would like an answer to my question." He says giving you a small smile. "What's wrong Y/n?"

"Nothing Ace. I'm fine, just tired." You lie leaning into him.

He wraps his arms around you and presses a kiss to the top of your head. "Tell me the truth. Are you feeling bad again?"

"I dunno." You respond.

"Talk to me baby, tell me what's going on in your head." He says pulling you close. You let your arms rest on his waist while he traps you in his embrace.

You don't respond and Ace starts gently rubbing your back. You stay like that for a few minutes before speaking. "Why do you stay with me?"

"What do you mean?" He asks, confused.

"Like, you're so pretty and strong and so upbeat and everyone likes you." You pause and take a breath. "And I'm just me, I'm so plain in comparison and-"

"You are not plain." Ace cuts you off. "You are so beautiful and so incredibly talented."

"Yeah, talented at getting in people's way and wasting their time."

Ace doesn't respond and when you look up he has a shocked expression on his face. "Who told you that stuff?"

"What?"

"Who told you that you were getting in their way and wasting their time?"

"No one." You say honestly.

"Wait. I don't understand. Is it an in your head thing?"

"Yeah."

"I thought you had medicine for that."

"I ran out."

"Did you ask Marco?"

"He said that it should take about a week to make more."

"How come you didn't tell him you were running low?"

You don't respond and Ace lets out a small sigh. "So you're gonna go a whole week without your meds?"

"Yep."

"And that's going to be a problem, right?"

"Yep."

Ace sighs again. "Okay, is there anything I can do to help?"

"Can you keep me company?" You ask quietly.

"Of course baby." He says squeezing you a little. "Anything else you need? Hungry? Thirsty? Too cold? Too hot?"

"No, just want you." You say nuzzling into him.

"Alright, let me know if anything changes."

"Ace."

"Yeah."

"You didn't answer my question."

"The why am I still with you one?"

"Yeah."

Ace pauses for a moment before responding. "Isn't because I love you a good enough reason?"

"But like, why do you still love me?" You ask unsatisfied with his answer.

"Because I do." He responds simply.

"But why?"

"Why not? Is it illegal to be in love with you?" Ace says looking at you. "Actually scratch that, even if it was, I would still love you."

"Sometimes I forget how unsmart you are." You say.

"Does that mean I'm a genius or an idiot?" He asks.

"You pick."

"In that case, I am the most brilliant genius that has ever existed." He says with a smile big enough to make you laugh.

"Thank you Ace."

"For what?"

"Keeping me company."​
