One Sided (Sabo x Reader) AU [Discontinued]

Mischievous and Awkward

"(Name)..."

You gasp at the man standing behind Ace. He had blonde hair, dark eyes, and not to mention...he was shirtless. You couldn't help but scream. "SABO!!!" You rush over and tackle him down with a death hug.

Ace laughed as Sabo began to choke from you crushing his ribs. "(N-Name)...can't...breathe..." He gasped. Instead of complying with his request, you only hug him tighter.

"NO. I refuse to let you leave me again!" You blurt out.

Sabo gave a bittersweet smile from the unexpected confession and from the pain you were giving to his sides. "But you're the one who left me." He manages a light laugh, trying to pull away from your bone crushing arms. You looked up at him to say otherwise but froze as it was his turn to hug you. "I think I was more worried about you than you were of me."

His tone was clearly relieved and worried at the same time. It made you smile a bit that he would be concerned for you. Before you could hug him back, a loud growl caught your attention.

You grab Sabo's shoulders and pushed him away from you. He frowns from the sudden move but noticed you were looking around frantically. "What's wrong?" He asks.

"I heard something." You answer in a hushed voice, warily scanning the surrounding area until your eyes meet Ace. You opened your mouth to question him but stop after hearing another growling sound.

Ace looked at his stomach and frowned. "I'm still hungry." He deadpans.

Sabo laughs while you turn red with anger. "Damn it, Ace! I thought it was that stupid beast from the woods!" You growl at the laughing raven haired boy then turned to the blonde and punched his shoulder. "You are in no position to laugh either, Sabo, I thought you were dead!" You scolded.

*Ace's POV*

The three of them returned to the dorms for the rest of the day but not before (Name) gave both Ace and Sabo a good friendly beating.

She was still pissed at them when she went back to her room. Ace felt a little bad for laughing, she was obviously freaked out earlier. Maybe I should apologize to her. He thought while pouting, rubbing the bump on his head.

He got out of the shower and placed a towel over his neck. The steam from the hot water fogged the mirror, he frowned as he tries to wipe it away with his arm. His reflection stared back at him and he lightly touched the area on his chest which you had poked earlier.

"Strange, huh?" He muses, vaguely remembering what you had said to him. "Good enough for me." He chuckles, quickly putting on his night clothes and drying his hair.

He exited the bathroom and saw Sabo staring at the window with a far off look in his eyes. It was pretty clear that he was thinking about her. Ace sighed, his brother is such an open book.

He flopped down on his bed and turned his head to face Sabo. Ace smiled knowingly at the expression of worry in his brother's face. "You wanna go see her?" He muses.

Sabo spun his head to the direction of Ace's voice and smiled meekly. "Yeah, I kinda do." He admits with a chuckle, returning his gaze back to the direction of the girls' dorm.

Ace couldn't help but laugh as he remembered something, making Sabo throw him a quizzical look as he grinned mischievously. "I have an idea." Ace snickers.

The afternoon was dull and unexciting after Sabo's reappearance. Students were still in preparation for the festival taking place the day after tomorrow.

"Ready?" Ace asks, although he was already climbing up the fire escape.

"No?" Sabo mutters, glancing a hesitant look at (Name)'s window on the second floor. (Name) is going to murder them for this.
