1. Claude Phoebe(ManxMan)

•Chapter 13✓

My siblings were exhausted enough from the partying and the Trent and Danielle fighting that as soon as we got them into their rooms they didn't even bother to undress and just passed out.

The pack had bought presents for them and they all sat uninterrupted in the living room. Ace and I stared at them.

"Like, if I look, like something and keep it, will you tell?" Ace pinched my arm and I laughed pulling away from him. "Hey!"

"Don't be stupid. Let's go, we have school tomorrow in case you forgot."

"Awww!" I pouted as he pulled me up to our now shared room, I reached for the railing of the stairs reaching out for the table of presents. Ace only pulled harder and I laughed before letting him.

I wrapped my arm over his shoulder then, kissing his forehead and leading us to the bedroom.

We began to undress, I pulled his shirt over his head and he turned to the dresser pulling out our pajamas while I took my own shirt off. He handed me my stuff and proceeded to dress. We were honestly like an old married couple and I chuckled at my own thoughts, he looked up at me through his lashes.

"What?" I shook my head, my fluffy hair hitting my forehead. "Come on, spill."

"I was just thinking how young we are but we already go to bed like old people."

"Honey, old people do not go to bed like this." Ace motioned to his chest and hips and I bit my lip.

"That's not what I mean, but good point." I picked him up and jumped onto the bed, he chuckled and I snuggled into his neck. He sighed then.

"I think because we've known each other for so long... The comfort is expected."

"As long as you never get bored of me, I'll even pretend to have thrown my back every night."

He laughed and wrapped his legs around my waist then, pulling me closer.

"Claude..."

"Hmmm?" I hummed inhaling his scent which calmed me, centres me enough that I was becoming drowsy.

"I love you."

I blinked sleepily, smiling into his neck and nipping it gently, his body twitched and he laughed, hitting me gently on the head.

"I love you more."

School was exhausting as it always is. I swear the jail house for teens was a completely useless venture. By lunch time I was basically sleeping on top of Ace out on the football field as we decided I needed vitamin D, from the sun, not the other one.

There was a soft humming of voices as I found myself so relaxed, Ace's fingers running through my hair gently.

"You two are a shoe in for homecoming king and Queen."

I blinked at the words and looked at the person who said it.

"Everyone has always been on about how cute you two are and now that you guys are more open with your relationship, it's a win."

"When did you enter us?" I looked at Ace who flushed and cleared his voice. "I just wanna know if I'm the Queen because I will kill you if you nominated me for king."

He threw his head back and laughed and I grinned.

"You're not mad?"

"Well, you want it, it's yours baby, how could I be mad." He stuck his lip out like an adorable puppy that he is and bent down to kiss me. I savoured the kiss at the expense of his back.
