LET ME PROTECT YOU [Ace x fem reader]
"You know... After you're done here on this island. Would you like to join our crew? For real this time," he smiles, his eyes reflecting the moonlight.
You look away as you can't bear his piercing eyes anymore. "I don't think I will be done before you leave-"
"I can wait!" he interrupts, letting go of your hand as quickly as he took it. "I mean uhh me and the crew... can wait for you," he stutters out. "This island seems pretty cool. I wouldn't mind staying here for a few more days."
You softly chuckle. "We'll see," you give him a faint smile with blank eyes. "I mean, who else is supposed to save you when you're halfway beaten to death?"
Hearing his halfhearted laugh sent a striking pain through your chest. You swallow hard to keep a sob from escaping your throat as you realize this might be the last time you ever hear it. Tears roll down your cheeks, blurring your vision as you lock eyes with the deep black eyes you've been dreaming about for the past months.
His hand gently cups your face and the familiar warmth tingles your skin. He carefully wipes away the tears on your cheek, not once breaking your gaze, before leaning in closer to whisper.
"I don't want to be saved by anybody else, y/n."
