ace groaned sleepily as he woke up from his beauty sleep, sluggishly looking around the room. he still felt the uncomfortably slightly tight feeling of the collar around his neck and glanced down at it with slight glare. when he remembered where he was and how he was here his cheeks slightly flushed a red tint. 'Oh yeah.. I slept in the same bed as [Y/n] last night...'

the male let out a troubled sigh, rubbing the back of his head in a nervous manner, 'I know she told it was okay but I still feel like I'm invading her privacy...' he turned to the left side of the bed, seeing only grim there sound asleep, vaguely remembering the warmth that radiated from [y/n]'s body last night.

[y/n] had already long fallen asleep, along with grim who slept on her side yet ace was still wide awake. contemplating on why he just let the girl drag him to bed to sleep as he continued to stared up at the ceiling. he turned his body to look at her who had her back facing him. despite the warm blanket (courtesy of crewel) laid on top the three of them ace still felt a tad bit cold.

[y/n] told him it was fine to get closer to her if he needed more warmth as long as it didn't involve anything like cuddling. it was ace's first time sleeping with a girl on the same bed, not counting the female members of his family, and he felt quite worried about it. but since [y/n] gave him her consent it should be fine right?

the heartslabyul student hesitantly scooted a little closer to the girl, feeling the warmth coming off of her body, giving him a sense of comfort. it lulled him to sleep and before ace knew it he was already asleep.

'Does she always wake up so early?'

suddenly, loud banging sounds came from below which had surprised the male, making him flinch a little. he groaned, “Duuude... Who is pounding on the door at this hour?!” a bit of dust came down from the ceiling as a result of the intense knocking, causing ace grimaced as he coughed a little, “Bleah! Every hit kicks up a dust storm! I'm coming, I'm coming!”

ace reluctantly left the comforts of the bed and walked down to the hallway. he was surprised to see the [h/c]-haired girl already there, happily conversing with his fellow navy-haired heartslabyul dorm mate. deuce's smile faded away as he stared blankly at the gingerhead.

“I figured I'd find you here.” calmly said deuce. the other male stared incredulously at deuce, “Ugh. Deuce...” [y/n] almost laughed out loud at ace's hilarious expression paired with his completely aggrieved tone of voice. she had vanished into the kitchen to prepare some tea for her guests, letting the heartslabyul duo have a talk.
