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

Not My Unintended

READER POV:

You pulled the door open so fast the gust of wind blew your hair back. "WHAT?!" you yelled at the person interrupting your meltdown.

Your eyes widened and you automatically began laughing. This was too good. This could NOT be happening to you right now. The bluette from earlier, 'Vivi', was now on your doorstep, acting demure as ever with her hands clasped in front of her. She looked at you baffled before clearing her throat, making you calm your laughter and straighten up ever so slightly.

Leaning against the open doorway, you crossed your arms and stared at her. "Well, what is it? Why have you, of all people, decided to drag your sorry ass back here?" you scolded.

"Are you not going to invite.." she started

"No." you interrupted firmly. "Now get on with it, what do you want?"

She moved a strand of hair behind her ear before gathering the courage to look you in the eye and begin. "I came to apologize for everything."

This indeed took you aback. "Why are you apologizing? He's the prick who decided to fuck two chicks at once and not tell either about the other. He's the one who brought another woman into MY HOME to make the bed frame creak, not you. You were the naive accomplice who was none the wiser. I didn't yell at you. I yelled at him." you rattled off as you looked down at your nails, "he's lucky I didn't rip his fucking throat out." you finished as you clenched your fist.

She was quiet the whole time that you were making your speech, looking slightly shocked at the end as you lost the light in your eyes. "I do have to apologize because I wanted you to know that I was sorry and that I had no idea about you." her voice grew weak towards the end. "But I will not apologize for loving him, and I will not apologize for him. That is something he is going to have to do on his own. Until then, I let him know that him and I can not be together until he can prove that he can be faithful to one person."

You had to admit, it took guts for her to show up and talk that way especially to someone who could've beaten the shit out of her little ex-boyfriend. There was a small level of respect now for this one, but you still didn't like her. "Fine." you scoffed. "I'm glad you had the balls to show him the way out. Trust is important." You straightened yourself out in the doorway and continued, "I want nothing to do with him, so don't worry about anything here. If I know him at all, he's probably at Sabo's getting drunk and Marco is probably already on his way to pick the fucker up. Go home. It's been a fucked up day. Get some sleep." and with that you turned and closed the door leaving Vivi on the doorstep.

1:30 am

You'd been flipping through the channels on TV and smoking yourself into oblivion to hopefully fall asleep quicker when you saw headlights through your front window. "Fuckin' hell..." you began cursing to yourself "...what the fuck is going on now?" You began collecting your stash and put it away for safe keeping and sprayed ozium all over the front rooms of the house to diffuse the smell. "Did that little twat call the cops on me?" you muttered as you went to peek behind the curtains by the front door. You didn't see any cherries or berries on the car, but that couldn't eliminate an unmarked sheriffs car.

You were already mentally exhausted, now you were paranoid, and staring out the front curtains waiting to see if anyone would walk up. That's when you saw that familiar shadow strut up your front walkway. 'What in the literal fuck have I done to deserve this?' you thought as you let your head drop behind you and sighed.

You unlocked the deadbolt and pulled the door open, and there he was, fist held ready to knock on the door and a look you couldn't quite decipher on his face.

"And to whom do I owe the pleasu...." you started off before he swiftly cupped your face and pulled you into a deep kiss. He moved his hands to your waist and pulled you closer against him. You wanted to melt, but snapping back to reality you pulled back swatting at his arms and chest. Both of you were panting. You wanted more, but you wanted an answer first. Why was he here and why was he acting like this. You both stared at each other in silence when you caught something different in his eyes. They'd changed but he'd stayed in his normal form. His eyes weren't gold, they were rubies.

"Yours changed too, y/n." he said coming closer to you and closing the front door behind him. "I've been going crazy since this afternoon and I haven't been able to tell why. Killer came home and explained everything that happened." He shifted his gaze before continuing, "I know it sounds stupid or lame, but I think I knew what you were feeling when you were feeling it."

You looked at him in bewilderment before looking for a mirror. He was right, yours had changed too but you hadn't changed form either. 'Well what the fuck does that mean?' you thought to yourself. "I knew you'd think that was something stupid to say, I knew it was but Killer said to tell the truth, and well, the truth sounds fucking stupid." he continued.

You turned to him noticing that he was staring at you while he was telling you his truth. He was locking eyes with you, not breaking contact. His voice was steady, he was calm. His pride was slightly damaged because he had to admit a feeling, which everyone knew he was never good at, but the fact that he had admitted it meant there was truth behind it.

You don't know what urge forced you along but you knew you had to go with it. You went up to him and just looked at him. You were observing him and walking around him, and you weren't breaking eye contact. Were you establishing trust with him? You didn't know, this was a new action, or trait, to you. You began touching his hands, his back, his chest, his neck. You slid your fingers up and down his spine when you were behind him, across his chest and stomach when you were in-front of him. You were reveling in each reaction your touch created. Like ripples in a pond. After a few more minutes, you stopped in front of him and just stared at him.

"Now what?"he asked

"Stay."
