Y/n's POV :

Arrangements have been going around for Aoto's return, I have been more than busy this past few days

"There is risk about the navy attacking"

"That's not a problem with all our soldiers in a normal day"

"I mean still preparing is important"

"Aoto can control animals, if he is on our side then we will get out much needed support"

All the commanders discussed as they had their tea around the table

"Uhm, is he really joining us?" Asked Ace

I sighed

"We are not sure yet, if he does agree to, we will take him in" I replied

"B-but--"

"No buts Ace, Blackbeard is our prime enemy right now, wr need as manpower as possible" Said Marco

Izo, the sixth commander sighed

"Aoto is enough to beat 30thousand enemies" Said Izo

"I AM ENOUGH TO BEAT 60THOUSAND ENEMIES!!" Shouted Ace

I sighed

"Well that's all for today, thank you all for coming" I said as I left the room

Marco follewed me

"You sure you will be alright eith Aoto being in the crew?"  Asked Marco

"Of course, I am matured enough to keep my work and private life separated Marco" I assured him

"He is at Sphinx right now, we already got news, he will be arriving tomorrow" Said Marco

..... Aoto

I went back to my room just to find Ace there

"Y/n" He mumbled

"Yep?" I asked, not taking him seriously

"Y/n I like you" He said

"Me too, you are an excellent commander Ace"

"No-- not that, I like you Y/, I love you" He said but I continued doing my own work

He got up from the bed and grabbed my hand and made me look straight into his eyes

"I love you Y/n"

...

"Ace can I be honest with you?" I said

And he nodded, he looked sad

"... I like you too Ace... A lot... " I said and Ace blushed

"But I don't want to date anyone yet Ace" I answered

His firm grip went loose

"Is it because of Aoto?" He adjed, looking at the ground

"Part of it is, it's not cuz he us coming back... It's cuz it made me realize my heart may still not like you fully Ace.... Ace i don't wanna play around with your feelings.... I do like you, but I don't know how much... I don't know if the love I have for you is greater than the love I had for Aoto"

"I don't know if all this makes any sense to you but-- but.... My heart got a tiny bit happy when I heard that Aoto is coming back Ace..... I- i am Sorry.... I don't want to jump into a relationship when I am feeling glad that my ex is coming back home..... " I added, I am selfish... Ace is better off than a girl without me... I am acting like a cheap girl... But won't I be a cheater girl if I dated Ace knowing my heart is jumping around for Aoto?
