The Anonymous (fanfic)

3 • S I X

When I woke up the next morning, the aroma of delicious foods was filled in the air. I opened my eyes, groaning as a yawn left my mouth and sniffed the air. It was definitely a bunch of tasty stuff for sure so I quickly got out of bed and went outside.

There stood Ace, roaming around the kitchen, assembling different things and putting them together. He was making a whole feast for breakfast and my jaw hung open. "Ace you could have simply given me bread and butted you know..."

He didn't say anything but instead his eyes met mine and didn't bother to leave them. Keeping eye contact, he came near me and caressed my face. "Good morning." He said in a soft voice.

Wow, he was suddenly a changed man. Literally yesterday he was trying to stan and now he is acting like we are married or something. "You seem a good mood."

A small smile peaked on his face. "I am just happy to be with you."

My heart throbbed. It was an unusual feeling. "I...well..."

He stepped away and went back to the counter to bring a bunch of plates, setting them on the table. "Dig in." He said as he gestured me to sit.

Was he still in love with me as he said last night? I wondered as I sat on the table and he took a seat opposite of mine. "So what did you do these last three years?" He asked as he grabbed a spoonful of cereal.

"Well...not much. Most of time was spent searching for you." I shrugged. "I was taking care of Lucas and then at one point I got a job but it didn't really last. What about you?"

"Well lots of illegal stuffs."

"You don't hack anymore?"

"No." There was a tinge if sadness in his voice. "It's in the past."

"C'mon you are literally a master of hacking you can't just quit a crucial part of you Ace." I told him. "Plus you haven't really told me why you are still working. I have a guess though."

His eyes snapped up. "What guess?"

"Did he threaten to hurt me? Kill me?" I asked dryly.

His mouth opened and closed again. He shook his head. "Ofcourse not."

"He really used the same old trick and you fell for it? You are really telling me he just told you he will kill me and you believed it?" I sighed. "Ace, come back to us. The organization has become stronger than before and is capable now to take down your father. Don't be the little scared boy you were back then but become the stronger man you were as the incharge of The Anonymous."

Ace gave me a look. "It's not as easy as it sounds. Plus, me being near you or anyone for that matter, has always brought misery in their lives. I do not want to be a part of more people's death especially the ones that I love."

"Shut up with the emo talk or I will smack you I swear to god." I scolded him. "I can't believe you are the same person who I first met when you kidnapped me. The same person who was sitting on his throne like chair, confident and assured. You have become so weak and for what? For that scum of a shitbag who destroyed your life?"

"I...I don't know if I can be the same Ava." He whispered lowly. "Because now you know that I am a murderer just like him. I was scared that you will hate me for killing your...and that played a huge role in me agreeing to all of his bullshit. You are right Ava I have gotten weaker. And that is because I have somebody to care for now and that is you unlike the man you met on the first day who was ruthless and unafraid to kill anybody at the blink of an eye."

I stared at him, my eyes stinging with water. I slowly stood up and walked up to him bending in front of him and holding his hand. "Look, I am not blaming you for anything. None of it is your fault. And I mean it. So please come back home. We need you. The Anonymous is stronger now but it's still nothing without its leader."

"You really think I should come back...?"

"Yes, you dumbass."

His eyes examined my face for a second and then he stood up, made me sit on the stair and bend in front of me. "You shouldn't bend in front of me. You are much more worthy than that."

I laughed. "Yes I know I am a queen so now pack your bags we are returning back."

His eyes held a glow which was lost for such a long time that it was heart warming to see it back. "Oh and also Ace, you are getting therapy when we go back."

Ace stopped dead in his tracks and turned around giving me a raised brow. "That was out of the blue. I don't need therapy, I am fine."

"And I have a dick." I gave him a look.

He sighed. "Fine I will go whatever." And a smile came on my face as I watched him walk away.

As Dom, Joe and Tom stepped out of the place they were staying in the man slammed the door behind them. Tom scratched his head and turned to look at the other guys. "Well so...he really doesn't wanna go back. Maybe it's time to give up?"

Joe shook his head in disappointment. "Well, we can't do anything. We have tried it all. Dom what do you say?"

But the only thing on Dom's mind was how Avaline was doing and whether she was oky or not. Even though Ace's friend or colleague or whoever had let them stay the night at their place had told them that she was with Ace, he still couldn't help but get tensed about how she was doing.

"Dom?" Joe called out again and Dom blinked, replying, "Huh?"

"Let's go the airport and wait for Ava there, okay?"

Dom nodded. "Fine by me." But just as he finished saying that sentence, his phone started ringing.

It was an unknown caller and he picked it up, hearing a familiar voice greet him. "Ace?"

And when he cut the call, with a giddy smile on his face he turned around and announced, "Ace is coming back with us, so prepare for a thrilling escape."
