Once Bitten, Twice Shy [[Kid X Reader X Ace]]

Hurt

Reader POV: 

You were not looking forward to the conversation you were about to have with the fiery redhead. Especially after discovering you had chosen Ace as your mate, coming down from that high was very deflating, to say the least. 

"Hey, Kid." You chirped out feigning a happy smile. "To whom do I owe the pleasure?" You continued as you sorted through your keys to the front door. You could feel him pressing on your back as your hand rested on the doorknob. 

"You can owe all the pleasure to me, kitten." He whispered in your ear as he grabbed your ass, prompting you to turn the knob and lean forward enough that the brutes own center of gravity shifted too quickly and he literally tumbled over you into your foyer. 

"About that..."you began as you calmly straightened yourself out and entered your home closing the door behind you. "We need to have a little talk." You dropped your keys in your bag and set it on the table. You could hear Kid struggling to get up, but then silence once that last phrase ended on your lips. 

You turned to see him staring at the ground, his face shadowed slightly by his hair. He was calm, and that is what scared you the most right now. "You've chosen someone else, haven't you?" He said in the most restrained voice I'd ever heard him use. Okay, that hurt. You could see his hands flexing. Open, close. Open, close. Each time the knuckles turning whiter. You walked over to him and tried to touch his arm, but he pulled back.

"Yes." you pulled back and held your hand to your chest looking at him to just wanting to make eye contact, just once. "It's Ace. I haven't said anything to him yet, and he hasn't said anything to me. So once he comes back from his trip in a few days, I'll tell him then. I'm sorry. But I do love you." You hated the way your voice sounded. All you could do was look down when he walked past you and out the door. 

Before he closed it, he turned and finally looked at you saying, " I hope he doesn't break your heart. Otherwise he'll wish he was never born." And with that, he was gone. 

You hadn't realized but you were shaking. "Fuck..." you yelled to yourself as you turned around and marched upstairs to your shower. You had to get ready for a trip you had to make yourself, and the conversation felt like it lasted only seconds, but two hours had passed. The stretches of silence were longer than you had imagined. You quickly showered and packed your suitcase to get ready for your flight in the morning. It was one of those times you had to make an appearance at work, but you were only going to be gone three days, and that cheered you up some before you finally fell asleep. 

(UBER drive back after trip - time skip two days)

You were so excited when you were on your way home from the airport. Your trip was cut short a day short due to weather coming in, so you had to leave sooner than expected. This meant that you were going to be home to surprise Ace when he came home. You had been thinking about all the ways to say that you wanted him as your mate. You had no idea you were going to say it, but you knew the best time to say it would be either after a good meal or sex. Either/Or was fine by you. 

You were so caught up in thinking on the way home, that your Uber had to let tell you twice that you had arrived home. You laughed to yourself, handed him his tip and got your belongings out of the car. When you turned to face your house, you noticed Ace's car was in the driveway. Your heart skipped with excitement. 'Fuck yes!' You thought to yourself as you walked up to the door, you could feel your smile stretch from ear to ear as you opened the door and walked inside. You quietly laid your items on the table by the door and walked in. It was a little quiet until you reached the stairs and you could hear the shower going. 'He must have just gotten home' you said to yourself as you made your way up the stairs. 

You finally made your way to the door and were about to open the door when Ace's bedroom door opened. 

What. The. Fuck...

Your heart sank as you stared at the blue haired girl wearing (and only wearing) one of Ace's shirts. Then, as if on cue, the bathroom door opened and Ace bumped right into you, standing there slack-jawed and (progressively getting more) upset. Both of them freeze at the sight of you standing in the hallway. Silence. The doe-eyed bluette clutched her chest through the shirt and slowly started to walk back to Ace's room. You broke your eye contact with her and almost snapped your neck turning to face Ace. There was worry, shock, but most of all, fear. 

You could feel your eyes burning with the rise of your tears as you asked him. "Who is she? What is she doing here?" Your eyes were burning holes into his skull as he watched your chin tremble slightly and the tears threaten to break the rims of your eyes. He swallowed hard and looked towards his room then back to you, then the floor. 

"Her name is Vivi. We met on my work trip last year and we really hit it off.  She came back to this years retreat and well, one thing lead to another. I'm sorry. I am. It's just we had so much in common and I didn't think that I would see her again. Then I found out she was a new Rep for this area and I thought I show her....." he started

"So you figured you'd show her your bed and fuck her, right?" You spat at him. You began slapping him arms and around his head, forcing him back and shoving him into the wall. 

"Y/n, stop. Y/N!" Ace started yelling but you couldn't stop, you were angry and it was getting worse, you wanted to punch him but instead made contact with the wall next to his head. "Y/N!!!" He yelled as he grabbed your arms, "STOP!" 

You had your head down and you were panting, trying not to cry, gasping for air, like a fish out of water. And that when Kid's words echoed in your head. 

Ace squeezed your arms to make you look up at him. He was crying. "I've chosen her."

That's when you felt the world fall away from you. Time passed so slowly at that point. Seconds felt like minutes and minutes felt like hours. "Y/n, did you hear me. I said I've cho-" he started but you cut him off.

 "Out." you replied hollowly. 

"What?" He asked raising a brow and dropping your arms.

"Out. Get your shit and get out. Get your "mate" and get the fuck out of my house." You said flatly. You couldn't even look him in the eye. "I can't believe I had fallen so hard for you," you sniffled and wiped at your nose. You finally managed to catch a f glimpse of him now, looking up you saw the confusion in his face and then the realization. "Yeah, I wanted to make you my Alpha. You're just like the rest of'em." You began chuckling to yourself. "Hey! Vivi!! Get your ass out of my fucking house and take your fucking little boyfriend with you!" You yelled and made your way downstairs. 

You began laughing as you bounced down the stairs. 'Pretty sure I'm having a mental breakdown right now, but you know what, I'd rather feel this right now' you thought to yourself. 

It took him one hour to get all his shit out of my house. Then you sat there. In silence. You sighed heavily and turned on the TV. You flopped back on the couch and laid down, pulling out your phone. 

You:  Boys are scum

Blondie: That's a blanket statement. You're going to need to clarify. What happened?

You: Don't want to text about it. Someone else may catch wind and I don't want them to know right now. 

Blondie: Gotcha. Want me to come over? 

You: Please. And bring food. I'm not picky.

Blondie: Sushi it is. See  you soon, little one. 

"And now we wait." You said aloud resting your hands on your stomach.
