"Mom, I'm back!" Ace shouted, placing his bag down and taking off his shoes. He heard ran towards him as she exited the kitchen. She was full of worry, hugging him tightly to the point where he thought he would suffocate.

"Oh sweetie! About time you've return! If you were to get hurt then who would take care of the family business?" Sherry announced as she lets go of Ace to give him some breathing room. He gasped, smiling at his mother to show that he was okay. The Sojiro family was a wealthy vehicle industry that sold various cars,planes,jets, you name it around the world. You could even go as far to say that they are among the top ten wealthiest family in the world. Despite their exquisite wealth and power Ace doesn't like to really brag about it and never bothered to tell Kuzuku anything about his family. He was even quite surprised that Kuzuku was completely oblivious about his family background and to be honest, he was grateful for it. Kize heard the commotion and exited from the living room of the bunker they were hiding out in to see what was going on, Vincent walking behind him as well, "Oh, Ace you're back man. So you wanna go play video games later?". 

Sherry gave Ace a glance, nodding as if she was giving him permission before heading back towards the kitchen. The young man smirked, before nodding towards his friends.

"Ah, sure thin---," Before he could finish his sentence, he was cut off by a sudden pressure from his lower body. He looked down to see who it was, his expression soften quite a lot at who it was, she seemed to shivering, a crimsion red haired girl with rather curly long hair that even dripped over her shoulders crying into his chest out of worry, "Ace I was so worried!". 

She had beautiful white skin and eyes that matched well to her red hair. Eyes that would make his heart skip a few beats when she looked at him. This girl is none other than his rumored girlfriend, Liz. Ace really only started dating Liz when he helped her with her bags since she was having trouble with them on the first day of school. Ever since then, the two decided to keep their relationship secret for her safety. This is due to the girls being too harsh on each other if they were together with the boy they like. But in Ace's case, every girl in the school wanted to be with him so the fact that Liz was now currently his girlfriend things could be catastrophic. Liz was the kind and loving girlfriend to where she would tend to everyone of Ace's needs, and to be honest, he would do the same. Though at times she can be a little too possessive for her boyfriend's attention. Despite that, he would only pass it off as how much she truly did love him and he would sacrifice everything and that's something he'd never thought of himself doing before.

Ace then patted her head gently, giving her a comforting smile, "Come on Lizzy you got to have a bit more faith in me.". She nodded, her face still filled with a mix of faint worry and current relief. Knowing she would calm down eventually, Ace gave Kize a smug, playful expression.

"So, Kize you said you wanted to play some video games right? Well, let's go to my room," Ace smirked.

"You're on! Hope your ready for Forza Horizon 4!" Kize cheered as he leads them to Ace's room. Ace's father, Kenjo Sojiro is a rather strict man and would normally tell Ace that he shouldn't be fooling around and concentrate on becoming a proper heir. Sometimes they would get into huge arguments such as whether or not on sending Ace to a private institute or a public school. Of course Ace won the argument as Orange Star High School was better than most private ones. At the moment his father was on a business trip so he is either hiding out in luxurious security or dead.

As the gaming session progressed, Ace was decimating his competition, making both Kize and Vincent frustrated as he was cruising in first place with a tremendous lead. It was such a beat down that it got to the point where both of them were thinking about jumping Ace and making him crash into a wall. Though they fought against that idea as while Liz cheering him on, she must of sensed something mischievous and dirty to where she glared daggers at them with a smile. They shivered, backing away from the thought and continued playing. As time went on, Ace inevitably won, making his opponents pout with shame. Vincent sighed, before letting out a huff of acceptance of his loss, "Nice match. I know this is out of the blue but I am grateful for you Ace. You allowed us to stay here in your family's hideout.".
