heat rushes on his cheeks at that. as much as they had flirted with each other, they more often than not skirted around… well, real intimacy. ace liked teasing, sure, but this moment felt so different than any other interaction they had. and truthfully, he was sort of… cute in this moment. aether squeezes his hand again, bringing his hand to his lips to kiss his knuckles

@portgas d ace. i want to know.
