Ace POV

I was shocked when Marco asked to stay the night. I figured he would want to go home. However, I figured it was more than likely for the best that he isn't alone right now and decided to let him stay. Once the movie was over, we watched a few more until it was about 10 pm and we both were starting to fall asleep. Standing from the couch, I tug Marco up with me.

"Come on, I will show you to my room. You can sleep there tonight." Marco only nodded, before following behind me. I let him enter the room, glad I cleaned it earlier in the day. It's a medium sized room with a full bed and a color schemed based off earth tones. Marco looked around the area a little bit, a smile gracing his features was a welcome sight.

"You can use any of my clothes if there's something that fits you. I will be out on the couch if you need anything." I turn to leave, but Marco quickly turns back around and gently grabs hold of my wrist, "Marco?"

"Sorry, um, can you stay? The bed is big enough for two people." I swallow slightly, before giving a small nod.

"Thank you." Marco's relieved expressed calms my racing heart a little bit and I walk over to the closet to find us both some pajamas. I end up giving Marco a pair of plain grey pants and shirt, pulling out a similar set for myself.

Climbing into the bed, we situate ourselves, so our backs are to each other, but still slightly touching. It takes a little while for me to fall asleep, feeling too aware of the warm body that is Marco next to me.
