It was amazing to see the look on Ace's face when he toured (Y/N) around Townsville, visiting the spots he used to frequent. His face would light up with pure delight and recognition when he remembered a memory about a place, and then he'd go on to tell the no doubt interesting story behind it.
They had walked into the old ice cream shop that (regretfully) the Gangreen Gang used to steal from, with the intent to buy some cold treats. However, when the door chimed announcing their arrival, the shop keeper looked up from the counter and (Y/N) saw their eyes widen.
"A-Ace? I thought you'd left Townsville for good!" Her thick Boston accent twanged anxiously and her eyes darted from Ace to the phone hanging on the wall beside her.
(Y/N) was aware of how Ace used to act when he was younger- heck, she even knew him back then! So she understood why the lady was so anxious. Who knew what his gang used to get up to in this place? But (Y/N) felt protective of Ace; he had changed his ways. Together they had taken steps to get Ace out of his old insecure and toxic mindset, helping him grow into the better person he always had the potential to be.
So when Ace replied cordially, she couldn't help but smile.
"We were in the area, visiting. Could we get two slushies ta go?" His voice was even but careful, not wanting to give the poor lady a bigger scare.
"...Mhmm, and what flavour?" The lady furrowed her eyebrows as the couple approached the counter.
"I'll take the ol'blueberry swirl," He said.
"Can I please have the (F/F) one?" (Y/N) saw the woman's shoulders relax a smidgen when she spoke, before walking away to fix up the drinks.
When she came back holding two cups, (Y/N) went to grab her wallet before Ace stopped her.
"No no, I'll pay." He swiped his card, and they grabbed their slushies and left with a 'thank you'.
Once outside, (Y/N) turned to Ace.
"What was that about?"
"Something I ain't proud of. The gang and I weren't good ta this town, and obviously old scars haven't faded yet." He breathed. "But ey, times are changin'. Maybe one day there'll be this new big gang around that'll take the fame away from the Gangreens."
(Y/N) took a sip out of her slushy. It was really tasty, but it must have shown on her face because Ace looked curious.
"Never seen someone enjoy a (F/F) slushy so much. Lemme have a sip," He leaned over and took a massive gulp out of it, taking almost half of the drink.
"Hey!" She scowled playfully, "That was a bit more than just a sip," (Y/N) then, as payback, took a sip from his blue slushy. It was by no means as large as what he took but payback was payback. Ace chuckled, wrapping his arm around her shoulders.
A voice then called out across the street to them.
"Do my eyessss deccceive me?" Ace turned to the person across the street, "It isss! Acce!"
Four green men then crossed the street carelessly, big grins plastered on their faces. Ace's eyes lit up in recognition at the sight of his old gang. When the group reached where (Y/N) and Ace were standing Ace was met with a big bro hug, followed by a series of handshakes.
