The Question

You can't help but blush bright red everytime you see Ace.

Your still in disbelief that he called you beautiful.

Well he did say he loves you, but he doesn't actual know it's you.

You try to avoid him as much as possible that day, but when it comes time for English class your heart races as you sit in your seat, waiting for Ace to walk in the room.

You could hear his laughter as he and Marco entered the room. They were talking about the ball, and who Marco should ask.

"Hey Ace, who are you gonna ask?"

Marco side glanced at you the moment he said this.

You carefully looked over in Aces direction to see his face when he answered.

"Its a surprise, but I'll tell you this bro. She will be the most beautiful girl there."

You freeze and your face turned bright red. You then slammed it down into your waiting arms on your desk.

You groaned a bit when it accidentally made contact with the hard surface.

"Oh shit, are you okay (y/n)?"

You pick your head up to see Ace crouched down next to you.

"Y--Yes"

"Are you sure?"

Ace lifts his hand up and touches your forehead where it was now all red.

You just stare at him as he concentrates on what he is doing.

You wince slightly when he touches the small bump that appeared.

"Well your not bleeding, so I'm pretty sure your gonna be okay."

"T-Thanks Ace"

"No problem (y/n)" He smiles

Aces eyes suddenly lock with yours and you try hard not to blush.

You hear Marco clear his throat, making you break eye contact with Ace.

"Ummm, thanks Ace"

"Your welcome"

Ace stands and heads to his desk.

You don't even notice Marcos smirk as your watching Ace as he sits at his desk.

----------------

You sigh loudly as you climb into Laws car.

"What's wrong (y/n)-ya?"

"Nothing, just had a long day"

"Okay"

You stare out the window and start humming as you head home.

------------------

Your phone chimes as you sit at your desk in your room.

You smile and fish it out of your bag.

Kidd - What are you up to squirt?

(Y/n) - Homework, you?

Kidd - That's lame. Well I was wanting to see if you wanted to go do something this weekend before I head back home?

(Y/n) - Of course, I would love too *smiles brightly*

Kidd - Okay, then I'll pick you up at 9AM on Saturday.

(Y/n) - Okay *bounces in excitement*

Kidd - *chuckels* See you then squirt. I love you!
