Dark flame

Caught in the wrong house (Part 6)

+/- a month later

"O-oh hello!!!"

Marco paused as he had his hand on the doorknob of his car, what was it now? He just wanted to home to his love.

"Yes....yoi..." he already started speaking but slowed seeing who was running towards him.

"I'm so glad I found you again!!!! It's me! Sabo! Do you remember me???"

"My love's brother."

"Yea!" Sabo smiled brightly, "I'm glad you remember me. Ehm you see..." the blond fidgeted a tiny bit. "I know you said you were going to discus calling me with Ace. But like... It's been a month now, and I've heard nothing so I was just wondering if you had brought it up or maybe you lost my number... or... if Ace doesn't want to see me...."

"We were going to call you once Ace was better."

"Huh?? Better? Is he sick? Hurt? What's wrong with my brother?????!"

Anxiously Sabo waited for the other as he was on his phone tapping away, why didn't he just answer- oh a picture. He looked closer at the picture and saw a bed, why did he show him a bed- "!!! Is that Ace???" huddled under very soft looking blankets was a body and above a tuft of raven hair stuck out.

"He has the flu-yoi. We're waiting for him to be better to call. You can understand he didn't want to arrange a meeting while he's sick."

Furious nods were there, that really sounded like Ace!!!! "He's still as caring as ever! Not wanting anyone he loves to get sick. I see you're taking good care of him." the blond smiled seeing several bottles and things on the night stand. He couldn't make them all out and there were some weird shapes in between, but he could only picture they were a mix of drink bottles and pill bottles and maybe some containers for soup or something like a thermos.

"Ofcourse." the phone was pulled back and Marco traced a finger over the shape under the blanket on his phone, "He's my freckled love. My everything-yoi."

"Aaah! I'm so happy he found you!!! You're a good husband."

"Thank yo- I need to go, Ace is alone at home."

"Ofcourse! Go cuddle my brother! He always loves that when he's sick!" Sabo looked around like he's telling a secret. "He acts tough like he doesn't need cuddles and such, but he loves close contact a lot from those he loves! Especially when sick!"

"Thank you for telling me. I'll give him lot of close contact."

Sabo took a step back as the car door was pulled open, "Tell him to feel better soon! And call me!!!"

In the car Marco mounted his phone on the holder so he could see his love start to wiggle under the sheets on his screen. They're so in synch with each other. His love feels he's coming home, so he's waking up to greet him. "I'll be with you soon, love."

Couple of days later

Ace whimpered at the hot feeling in his stomach, the ache in his behind and the kisses pressed to his neck. That the blond hadn't pulled out yet probably meant it was or going to be a long night, or they were going to sleep connected like this. Marco somehow starting to say he learned recently that he loved being connected to those he loved and even apologizing for not doing it sooner. How he got that idea he doesn't know but well... he's long since learned Marco's a psycho anyway.
