Bigamy (Ace x Reader x Sabo) -Complete-

Chapter 24: Confliction

(A/N): For those of you wondering why the heck I would make the puppy so young is based on an almost similar true story. Some guy was really against cross breeds/mutts that he was giving them away for free at a swap meet/flea market just outside the gates at such a young age and my dog, Luna, was the last one. He was about to toss her away if nobody wanted her and she couldn't even see yet. This was still a puppy needing a mother status so like the kind my dad took her off his hands dropping her in my care and now she's a loving Chaweenie <3

~The heart can sometimes strain the mind in uncertainty leaving an endless cycle of torment~

Fingers run through your hair as you sleep. Lips parted as the light of the morning sun casts over your frame. You had turned to face the opposite for shade a second ago. Calloused hand runs the length of your entire arm and back. He grasps your left rubbing circles with his thumb on your knuckles. As Ace begins to fully awaken, an idea pops up. Now that you're dead asleep, it would be the perfect time to size up your finger with the bands. Carefully, the man shuffles out of bed to fetch his bag containing yesterday's pick up. Inside is a wrapped bike part and a small wooden box the size of his whole palm. Inside are three silver bands of different size as promised by Franky. He scoffs as his finger tips lightly skim on all three. Just staring at the prototypes that are to be rings made him nervous. Could he go through with it? He put all this time and effort to love you. He shouldn't pull back out now right? Ruby eyes shift to your sleeping form still waiting on the bed. Now was his chance. Taking a deep breath, Ace removes any wandering thoughts of doubt before taking a seat on the edge of the bed. Carefully, he lifts your left hand to place the first largest band on your ring finger only for it to instantly slip in with ease. It was too wide sitting on your finger loosely. He moves on to the second one after removing the first. The second being the smallest. It only made it halfway. Ace grunts twitching his eye in irritation. Nonetheless, he continues for the search of the perfect band. Reaching over to his final one, he prayed that this one will fit. You shift to your back causing him to panic. Once you've settled, Ace sighs in relief slipping the band on your finger. He smiles softly as it fits perfectly on your finger. His thumb grazes the ring already imagining the craftsmanship that has yet to be designed just for you. The clicking of your mouth brought him out as you murmur,

"Ace. Sabo. Mmm.....love.....you." The freckled male scoffs as you send his heart to flutter. He leans in for a kiss as he pulls the ring off to save in his jeans pocket.

"I love you too." He whispers against your lips. He rises to his feet after getting a message from Thatch,

Thatch: Did you fetch the muffler?

Ace: Yes I did. I'll be right there to apply it to his bike.

The Raven haired male sighs shifting his vision to you where a smile forms reminding him to leave you a note. The click of the door opening informed him of your roommate's entrance. He throws on his orange shirt and jacket before encountering the girl.

"Morning." He whispers.
