Sweet Dreams - Ace Merrill

Let's do this Merrill

Ace followed Vivian inside, having instructed the rest to stay out and watch the baby.

"You wanna explain to me what the fuck is going on with you?" Ace tried not to snap at her as he shut the back door behind him and stared at her while she leant against the counter.

"I can't."

Ace scoffed. "The fuck you mean you can't?!"

"It means I can't okay!" She but back, slamming the glass down as she faced it. "I don't know what is going on myself!"

Ace was confused.

"Okay but you can't just fucking up and leave the come back like that!" He snapped.

"Isn't that what you do?! The great Ace Merrill gets what he wants, fucks off and comes back whenever he wants something again!"

"For your information I ain't never fucking left you!" He shouted as he moved closer. "You walked out on me."

"After you did the exact same, except when I came back I didn't come back drunk!"

Ace was silent. He didn't know what to say. He had left that day and come back drunk, he had kicked off at her causing her to leave.

"So don't attack me for something you first." Vivian felt her tone deflate.

The pair stood in an awkward silence as neither wanted to admit being wrong.

"You gonna walk out on us again?" Ace finally asked, looking up at her slowly.

"Us?" Vivian asked quietly.

Ace shrugged as a small smile came to his face. "There are two John Merrill's living here now so take your pick."

Vivian tried to keep a straight face but couldn't stop herself from laughing. She sighed as she walked over to Ace.

His hands went to her waist and gently tugged her closer as her head rested against his shoulder.

"You're not leaving again now, you do know that right?" Ace mumbled as he rested his head on hers, his lips on her hair.

Vivian smiled against his chest as she thought over what he'd just said. Her eyes widened as she pulled her head away slowly and looked up at him.

"You just said there's two John Merrill's?"

Ace's cheeks flushed a light shade of pink. "No I didn't."

Vivian laughed and nodded. "You did, you just said there are two John Merrill's living here now."

He shook his head in response. "I didn't!"

"You did! You called him a Merrill!"

"I didn't!" Ace snapped back.

"Ace..." She mumbled somewhat sternly, looking at him with a raised eyebrow.

Ace grumbled slightly as he shrugged it off. "I really fucking hate you." He muttered as he looked away slightly.

Vivian smiled as she leant up and planted a small kiss on his jaw.

"I love you too." She whispered.

Ace's head snapped to her as she gave him a quick smile Before leaping from his grip and racing back outside.

"Oh no you don't! Vivian get your fucking ass here now!" He snapped as he chased after her.

Ace stopped as each cobra turned to face him. Vivian had secured a spot standing in between Alex and Eyeball, who was still holding John on his lap.
