It was already past three in the morning when you opened the door to Ace's room.

The windows in the house were open due to the summer heat and let in bright moonlight to light the way. Not that you needed it, you knew the way from countless sleepovers before and would have found it in the dark too.

You were supposed to be asleep in the guestroom, but the horror movie you and the Cobras had watched at the cinema this evening had gotten to you and kept you up to the point you'd decided it was necessary to seek out the safety of your best friend's arms in order to find some sleep.

"Ace?"

You gently shook him until he opened his eyes.

"Bad dream?"

You shook your head. "Can't sleep."

"Need me to protect you from the big bad monster from that stupid movie?", Ace teased you, spreading his arms to invite you to cuddle.

"Yes please," you laughed as you laid down with him.

You would have never admitted that the movie had scared you in front of the others, always playing tough when you were with them to be accepted as 'one of the guys', but when it was just Ace and you there was no need for that. You and him were each other's safe haven, the ones around whom you could let down your walls and show vulnerability.

Ace kissed your head and said "Don't worry, if that thing was real and showed up here it'd get to feel my blade."

You giggled at his words.

"What's so funny?"

You shook your head, laughing even more.

"Nothing. Nothing, I was just– I just had to imagine you with sword and armor like some fucked up hooligan-knight."

Now Ace was laughing too.

"And you'd be the damsel in distress, kidnapped by the dragon, waiting for me to save you, yeah?"

"No!", you immediately protested. "I'd be like... a fearless lady-knight and have a sword too!"

"Then why would you need me to protect you, huh? Go ahead and fight the monster on your own if you're so brave," he joked, pretending to push you out of the bed.

"Well... Maybe not quite that fearless. But we could fight it together!"

Ace had stopped laughing but your face was close enough to his to see him grinning when he spoke again.

"Alright Princess, if the monster shows up we'll fight it together. Now try to get some sleep."

You nodded and snuggled up even closer to him despite how warm it was in the room, wrapping an arm around his bare torso.

Ace could feel your breasts pressing against his chest, could feel how warm your skin was through the thin fabric of your nightgown.

You felt it too, trying your hardest to keep still and fall asleep but it was impossible with the way the slight movement of your best friends chest rising and falling with every breath stimulated your nipples.
You tried telling yourself it was the summer heat that made it so hard to breath but you knew it wasn't.

It was Ace. It was the fact that the only barrier between your and Ace's bare skin was your light summer nightie. The fact that your legs were intertwined with his, one of yours caught between his knees.
