A Friend
»»————- ➴ ————-««
"Okay can we please stop for the day." Your opponent whined. A corpse laid directly on top of them and it was quite the sight. "You're the one who wanted to train so late. No idea why but here we are."
You snickered at your friend. He tried pushing off what he knew to be some sort of heavy invisible force that weighed him down.
"Okay you win y/n. NOW GET THIS ZOMBIE OFF OF ME!" Ace yelled, throwing a tantrum. Rolling your eyes, you instructed the lifeless body to lift itself up and fall back beside you. Turning off your quirk, the body faded away.
Ace let out a dramatic sigh and sat up pouting towards you. "What?" You questioned squinting your eyes. He's more annoying than usual. Maybe because it was around 2am, that could be affecting him to be so whiny.
Fueling your irritation even more, he manipulated his chains to trip you off your feet, causing you to land straight on your back. You groaned from the impact feeling a sharp pain in the back of your head and spine.
He stood over you smiling like how a child would after winning a silly game. "You don't stop fighting until your enemy is physically incapable of fighting back. Silly girl." He teased shaking his head disappointed.
You gave him a blank stare as he held out his hand indicating that training was now finished. Taking his hand, the two of you gathered your belongings and headed towards the schools provided dorms.
"Y/nnn stop ignoring me or I'll throw rocks at your window you dumb whore." He joked causing you to let out a smile.
You bumped into his shoulder showing you heard him making him smile. "Whatever you say Dr. Phil. " You said yawning. Ace nodded and wrapped an arm around your shoulder.
"Aren't you going to say thank you Ace for being the most handsome boy alive and keeping me company this evening?" He whispered in your ear.
"I rather drop fucking dead with the corpses." You whispered back but then laughed at his hurt expression. He stuck out his bottom lip and sighed. "You get so mean when it's late, but I'll excuse it because I love you." He cooed at you pinching your cheeks.
The two of you joked the rest of the way to the dorms and saw that it was dark in the living room area. It made sense since training was a little more drastic today.
"Is your little ghost buddy around?" Ace teased following into your dorm. You opened the door and surprisingly he was right.
A little ghost boy sat on your bed looking bored as ever. Looking up he saw you and his face brightened. You returned a small smile and nodded at Ace.
"Yeah...yeah he is."

"Why did you cut your hair again? In this picture it looks like a fun cloud." The ghost boy questioned innocently eyeing your old pictures. It was when you attended UA. You snorted and pointed at your hair. "It's called an Afro, Devin. It was getting hard to manage so I simply-"
"Why are so damn loud y/n? Can't you talk to the little ghost dude later?" Ace's voice mumbled in your pillow. He decided to stay as he didn't feel like walking all the way to his dorm he claims. Even though it was 2 doors down.
"He's annoying and his hair is stupid and orange. Remind me why you're friends with him?" Devin hovered over your sleepy friend as he did nothing but criticize him.
"Devin says you're a stupid ginger." You mumbled looking through old pictures of you and others. Ace gasped and sat up, frantically defending himself, trying to throw insults at the ghost he never saw or met.
He started swinging trying to hit Devin making you laugh at how stupid he looked. The ghost rolled his eyes and sat back next to you eyeing the photos in your hand.
Ace quit his ridiculous act once he saw your calm expression focused on a picture. In the picture he saw a yellow haired boy with a black lightning streak and a red haired boy with sharp teeth.
"Y/n, why'd you keep pictures of all those people? I thought they hated you. I thought you hated them." Ace asked softly. You shrugged and stuffed the pictures in a box not really having an answer. Devin frowned not liking you staying silent, that was his thing.
"I don't even know man. And I don't hate them okay? They just...listen I don't want to talk okay." You shrugged getting up from the bed. You wanted to lay down and rest but your bonnet decided to play an infuriating game of hide and seek.
"It's right here y/n." Devin held up a bonnet towards your face. In Ace's point of view he simply saw it floating in mid air. You thanked him and put it on. Wanting to give you space, Devin left to wander around.
The night ended and the only sound that could be heard was Ace's snoring. You smiled at his sleeping figure and curled up next to him. Putting his arm over your body, you instantly relaxed and felt yourself drift to sleep.
Ace was one of the few people, who could make you feel like last years incident, was merely just a dream. He did nothing but encourage you and lift up your spirits. Defend you when needed. Annoy you until you tried to strangle him. But, those are just things that a friend would do.
