[OP] ?? Seven Letters ?? [Ace x Reader] AU

?? [Wednesday] ??

"Potassium I-o-d-i-n-e. Hmmm...I just add something to that thingy, right?" Some glass tinkled at the pressure, which woke me from the sudden daze.

"Hydrogen Peroxide. Sugoi! That sounds right!" He exclaimed.

"Yeah, yeah...wait what?!" I bounced from my seat. "Luffy don't -!"

It was too late.

Asking Luffy to sit and focus was like trying to tell the sun not to shine. His eyes were light, every muscle on his face worked nonstop, tightening the skin on the edge of the mouth and tugging it into a childish smile.

Needless to say,...we had to scrub all the remains of the experiment after the hour.

Correction.

I had to.

Luffy apologized, begged numerous times with watery eyes, then he chose a different tactic and threw himself on the floor. The raven used the ultimate weapon that he knew I wouldn't resist.

The doggy pout.

I slightly nodded and released a deep sigh, when the raven's arm found my waist and hugged me tightly.

A satisfaction lit his eyes, as if having completed a deeply, personally needed goal.

After a second or two he released me, and without even blinking, quickly ran to the cafeteria to get himself food.

"I need to remind myself sgain, why is he my chemistry lab partner?"

Grabbing the broom, I threw myself into work. The time was passing really slowly, I had to check numerous times on my phone to check if the clock really changed. But then something distracted me. While cleaning, something flew right from the opened classroom's window into the spacious lab. In a shape of a plane.

I scrubbed my eyes. Am I now seeing things? Should I call Luffy to send in a doctor?

Carefully approaching the paper plane, I knelt and with a swift move, opened the content.

I examined the sheet one more time, before I folded the piece of sheet and carefully placed it in my bag.

The Anonymous guy really is...something else. I couldn't deny it. But I was a bit skeptical with the message I'd received. There was whatsoever no clue about the treasure hunting nor direction or advice.

Was that there to give me a small nudge to text him? Or was it just for fun?

Question gathered in my already bemused mind, when I packed all my belongings and left the chemistry lab spotlessly clean.

Luffy, you are going to regret letting me clarify your mess.

Tugging my mouth in a Cheshire like-smile, my mind went crazy, scheming a prank on the younger male. Revenge, I had always considered it to be a much-belied concept. Knowing that people get way the deserved made me excited.
