[It was rare for Sabo to see anything but the dull colors in his life. Whenever he wakes up, it was all dull. There was a lack of bright happy colors and just a neutral tone of everything around him. He goes on his missions like normal, running around endlessly seeking a better tomorrow but it doesn't satisify him enough. The closest that would still bring joy to him was Luffy, his only living brother. But even that fades away as Luffy has his own pirate life to sail with his crew, adventures and the like. Sabo is left to lead a life of just the usual, just the life of being a Revolutionary. Sometimes it would be exciting but sometimes even the few days he has off numbs his brain into doing anything worthwhile.]
Ahh... wonder what else is going to go on. [He says this in a plain tone, standing near the deck looking out to the night skies.] Maybe I'll go on another mission again. [He steps back, wondering if he could see a more colorful life. The last time he has had it was with Ace, but he never realized it until after his passing.]
[It was then he felt a resonation within him. His eyes widened, and he could feel the nerves jumping within his body, darting at his brain. What's even going on.]
[Suddenly, the night sky seemed to glow bright, and it looked as though the stars in the sky were all shooting downward. It's truly an amazing sight, as if the stars had come together to form something magical.
And something truly magical it was. Some would also call it a miracle.
Right in front of Sabo, the stars that had fallen danced around like fairies, constructing something. No, it was more like someone. They zipped and zoomed around on the ship's deck, slowly creating a human body, engulfing the area around the body in a bright light.
But it wasn't just any human. And it wasn't someone Sabo wouldn't recognize.
Eventually, the stars had finished creating this miracle and the light died down, finally showing what - well, who - exactly the stars created.
There was still a bit of light behind the body, as if he were an angel coming down from heaven. But once the light stopped shining, the man was suddenly starting to fall, face first, to the ground.
The man in question was someone who was supposed to be dead. But by some magic, by some miracle, he's recreated by the lights that had fallen from the sky.
There in front of Sabo fell Ace, looking exactly how he did before he died. No wound or scar on his abdominal. But the tattoos on his back and arm were there, along with the shorts, boots, and hat he always wore. Even his bracelets and necklace were there. He was perfectly reconstructed right in front of the blonde. Please catch him before he falls, Sabo.
If the other man checks, there is a steady heartbeat, as well as steady breathing coming from Ace. He's just passed out at this moment, as if it was his own energy that recreated his whole body.]
As his body stopped and froze, Sabo instinctively looked up at the sky.. looking at the speckle of light shining through the night sky. It was bright.. and also a bit strange... This sensation does tell him that it definitely wasn't the sun. The colors in his eyes just illuminated and turned that light from a light gray to a bright yellow. The night sky was then ... turned into a shade of dark blue. Very eerie.
But as soon as the light disappeared.. he questioned what even happened? Did a star burn out? Was he just imagining things? The color didn't.. disappear then, and Sabo was just a bit startled on even why he's only starting to see these vibrant colors now.
It was then he saw Ace's body falling towards him. It was dark at night, but there was a lamp at the boat to see a bit of the night scene. Even if it didn't spread the light wide enough, he could subtly tell that a human body was falling toward him. He holds out his arms for the body that fell. He gripped onto the body as soon as he caught the brother, not even paying attention that it was him because well the weight of his arms was almost sudden. He closed his eyes for that moment when he felt the weight on his arms.]
That's got to be heavy.. what are the chances someone would just fall out of the sky in the middle of the ni-
[It was then he noticed who he he had in his arms. His eyes just laid open, his pupils dilated from the sight that he's almost in tears. This human being.. this black haired brood.. was Ace. The brother he knew. The brother he thought he would never meet again. He knew, as soon as he saw that face. It was colorful. His complexion, his garments... were all in color. In some kind of mysterious miracle that would only happen in fairy tales.... it was truly some kind of fate.]
Ace?! [In a much surprised tone, very loud in fact! Sabo, you're lucky the others are pretty much knocked out. Though it might be a different case for Ace..]
Which is weird, because he shouldn't be alive, but... He could tell he was dreaming somehow. Probably because he was dreaming of his childhood, but of things he didn't quite remember. Like something was off about them.
They were exploring like usual, Ace, Sabo, and Luffy, but it ended up differently than what he remembered. Ace, as a child, fell down and hit his head, while a small Sabo went to grab him and hold him in his arms, worried.
The dream then shifted to them older, though Ace knew (well, thought) that wasn't possible, and now they're adults, and Sabo's holding him, and--
Did someone just call his name?
The loud, surprised voice does wake up the freckled man. He stirs first, moving his head slightly. Slowly opening his eyes (which should be impossible), he stares at the other man holding him in his arms. He blinks in bewilderment, and then notices something. The colors.
He swallows hard as he remembers. He had never seen in color since he was around Sabo, and now he could see the deep blue of this man's jacket, the golden hair, the color of his skin... The red scar around one of his eyes. Even the colors of the night sky and the ship they were on. Ace didn't know what ship it was, even, but... This man. He reminds him of Sabo. So he blurts it out as he just stares tiredly at him.]
Sa...bo?
[But this should be impossible, too. Unless they were in heaven. Or... whatever afterlife they believe in. But then why is Sabo older now?
But then he realized this might not be Sabo, which makes him try to mouth something as he stands up straight, resting one hand on the man's shoulder for balance... But he doesn't take it away. For some reason he seems drawn to him.
Ace stares into those brilliant blue eyes of his. No... This must be Sabo. There were so many clues pointed towards it. He looks like him, first of all, even though his hair is longer. Secondly, there's something that just makes Ace feel like saying, yes this is Sabo. Thirdly, and probably most importantly, he's seeing colors around him. That only happened with one person...
He finally says something, in a hushed tone, though it's not much. Forgive him, Sabo, he's still sleepy and can't comprehend words right now.]
[It was the middle of the day, as lunch period was a thing. Todoroki was standing on the rooftop of a building, leaning towards one of the railings fenced around the area. He had been sipping a carton of apple juice for a long while waiting for Izuku. Holding up a memo he had gotten crumbled up.. he rereads what it said. "Get Midoriya to confess to you" with a smudge at the end, implying there might have been more written. He thought it was.. odd.. strange even, considering he had gotten this from Aizawa-sensei. Is it another threat to fail his class? A prank for his own amusement? He seems.. rather lost at it, but takes the challenge anyway. Izuku couldn't have done anything wrong, right?
In any case.... He sent Izuku a letter of what time and place to meet the two-tone haired guy... though he didn't address it as himself. Rather, he kept it anonymous. He didn't forget. He just chose not to, thinking it would be easier if Izuku found out on his own. Todoroki finishes up his drink, sipping every last drop before folding up nicely and stuffing in his bag. It would be rather unethical to toss it over the fence..only a uneducated hero would do that.
He plants a foot on the rims of the fence. He waits.. looking the sky. It's bright, clear as day. Much like the famous All Might.. a respectable hero to all. He then just looks back down. Hopefully, Izuku will come soon.]
[Izuku had been nervous since he found the letter in his shoe locker, but this was a whole new level of nervousness.
He had told Ochako and Iida that he had somewhere to be, and they had told him "good luck," which didn't really bode well for Izuku, since he hadn't told either of them about the letter at all. He sighed when he climbed the stairs, and when he eventually reached the top, he decided to take a peek at who had sent him the letter. It had made him nervous that it was anonymous, of course, but he didn't expect a certain two-tone haired boy to be standing on the roof.
His heart leapt in his chest and he felt the most nervous he's ever felt since the day he went through the testing at U.A. ... He stared out of the window for quite some time, trying to figure out what to do...
Maybe it's okay!! Maybe Todoroki just wanted to help him with something! Or anything else!!! He won't get his hopes up. Izuku had liked the boy even more since they gotten to know each other a little better, and he gradually found out that he probably maybe wanted to kiss the boy. So it made some of their more recent interactions awkward... Even to the point where others had noticed. But it didn't seem like Todoroki had noticed?? Well, even if he did, he had hid it pretty well from Izuku...
After hesitating for a moment more, Izuku slaps his cheeks with both hands and then nods to himself. He became more confident in fighting and facing Kacchan after coming to this academy, he can be confident with this, too! So he opens the door slowly, peeking his head around the corner, and sheepishly grinning towards Todoroki. As he walks onto the roof, a little closer to the other boy, he speaks.]
Ah... Todoroki-kun! Was it you that sent me that letter...?
[Stuttering his words slightly, Izuku's cheeks turn a little pink as he looks down at his hands, fidgeting with them. He shouldn't be this nervous!!]
Ah.. yes. I was. [Todoroki turns toward the mess of the green haired Izuku. ... Okay, he had to admit that fidgetting and nervousness was sort of cute. He steps forward to the shorter boy, while sliding the crumpled up memo in his pocket. His eyes were focused on the boy.. he shouldn't be this nervous, but that's Izuku for you. He's a formidable rival.. opponent, but he possesses a great attitude towards others.]
I wanted to ask if you needed help with anything. [His hands, one on top of the other, while still concentrated at the other student.] Aizawa-sensei mentioned to me something and I'm not entirely sure how to go about it.
[His eyebrows furrowed slightly.. one of his hands gripped onto his face in a pondering like expression.]
Like as if you were in trouble.. or needed assistance on a test. He said something about needed to admit to something but, what.... [He is very concerned for you, Izuku. It's almost endearing. Sorry he's kind of clueless on how he's feeling right now though..]
[For some reason, the confirmation just made Izuku get flustered even more, but he looks up at Todoroki when he steps forward, closer to him.
And then the next words surprised Izuku. Not only because it confirmed that Todoroki hadn't noticed how flustered he was around him, but also because Aizawa-sensei... Aizawa-sensei, of all people, mentioned something to the other boy.
Izuku stares at Todoroki's pondering expression, noting how it fit the boy... How it's almost cute... Wait, no, he has to concentrate on what was going on!!
And then he tips his head, listening to Todoroki finishing his thoughts... only to blush more. What the heck did Aizawa-sensei say!?]
Um! I'm not in trouble or anything! I did fine on the last test, too...
[Maybe he meant help with training? But he can't tell anyone else about One for All, so he can really only train with All Might...
He just kind of shrinks in on himself a little, still fidgeting with his hands.]
What did he say, exactly? I-I don't think there's much I need to admit...
[Besides his feelings for you, Todoroki, but he's very adamant about keeping it a secret. For now.]
Yeah.. I checked. You did pretty well actually so I congratulate you.
[His eyebrows furrowed a few seconds, before he told the details from Aizawa to his classmate.] His exact words were written as "Get Midoriya to confess to you" ...though it's rather strange of him to write that sort of thing. Confess to me about what? [He's a bit concerned, maybe troubled that his first friend had something to say but he could not figure out what exactly. Hello, clueless about relationships, much.]
I don't think you'd hide anything from me though... It's not like you had any dark secrets or something... [Though then when he looked back up, he noticed how Izuku was flustering all the over the place, fidgeting... his introverted behavior is just having Todoroki's eyes widen with a hint of blush on his cheeks. He shouldn't be this cute. How does this happen. ]
But I digress I.. [He turns to the side a little, keeping a composure even while his face is lightly flushed. He then focuses his eyes back on Izuku with a calm expression, as if he were smiling.] I think you have your well intentions even if you kept something from anyone, including me. [He slightly tilts his head down, closing his eyes while keeping the curl on his mouth. Izuku is a good person.. someone that really could be a real hero one day.]
[Izuku gives a small bow after Todoroki congratulated him, then straightens back out when he speaks again.
And then his face just goes a tomato red.
As he puts his hand to his mouth, Izuku starts to mumble something (mostly wondering how Aizawa-sensei figured it out); it's not very coherent, but he's thinking deeply about this, almost not hearing the rest of Todoroki's words. But he snaps back into reality when Todoroki says he has well intentions. He swallows hard and puts his hands up, waving them a little.]
N-no, no, I don't really-- It's not like I have many secrets-- Wait, that's not what I mean, I....
[He's stumbling and stuttering over his words, flailing his arms around slightly, and continuing to blush. Then all of a sudden, he stops, looks down at the ground with closed eyes. He swallows again.
Maybe he could get an idea of what Todoroki thinks about dating other guys. Or just dating in general. So with his head still down, cheeks still red, and his eyes shut tight, he mumbles his next words, but loud enough for Todoroki to be able to hear.]
There's... Someone in our class that I like.
[God, why is he so honest?! Why couldn't he just make up a lie about this... But no, this is Todoroki, and he doesn't want to lie to him...]
Someone... you like in our class? [He makes no discretion on what gender they are.. be it girl or boy. Though, what a foreign concept. He's usually not the person to think about relationships or crushes but to think Izuku would be like that... well, he would figure he'd be that type. It would be nice if it was himself.. though it would not be a priority of his. The way he is stuttering is a bit amusing though. It tickles him a little but he stays calm by looking at him with a gentle face so he isn't startling the other boy.]
I would not put it past you but you should definitely confess to that person. [He stays pretty nonchalant as he says this. Because honesty is the best policy. Being straight out with your feelings, be it about your homework or someone you fell for.]
It's no problem though. You're a hero that deserves some respect. The way you got me to use my most hated side... the one once associated with my father. It was admirable. [He knows this for a fact. He hated using his fiery side as much as anyone. But to have Izuku make him realize that it's not that bad using all of his powers.. it really is something that goes beyond his expectations. He crosses his arms, looking under trying to get a peek of Izuku's face.]
[Izuku nods while his face flushes a bright red. Though he is thankful that Todoroki doesn't make an assumption one way or the other. He gazes at the other boy, smiling a little at the gentleness that Todoroki had, happiness filling his eyes. This is why he likes him, Izuku supposes.
But then he speaks again and gives him advice he wasn't sure he was ready for. He knows Todoroki has been pretty honest, himself, but Izuku kind of shrinks in on himself... Waiting for the other to finish his thoughts.
Izuku blushes yet again as he hears Todoroki's gratefulness and puts his hands in the air, waving them back and forth.]
Oh, no, no, I'm not as great as you or Kacchan or Iida-san...!!
[He lowers his head again, furrowing his brows. How can he take this much praise from the guy he's been crushing on...? He bites his lip.
He still didn't quite know what Todoroki thought of dating in general, though it seemed like he was okay with boys dating other boys... Still, he thought he can't be too careful.]
I-I'd like to confess, but... I don't think they'd want to date someone l-like me...
[He closes his eyes tight and balls his hands into fists. It was now or never, Izuku. After a long pause he speaks again to clarify what he meant.]
[In the world of magic and the supernatural.... Sabo reigns as one of the top in his school of wizardry in the Academy of New World. For years he has been studying under the teachings of Dragon with some help with his werewolf companion, Ace, and their little brother Luffy.
Today however was a day of solitude as Sabo settles on a rock near a pond. It was a quiet day but free of apprentice teachings and studying. Normally he'd accept the books and the curriculum head on, but lately he's been stressed and took a breather right in the middle of the forest.]
Ace. Ace!! Come out. I've got some food to give you. [He takes out a bag next to him, revealing a piece of bread he had bought at a farmer's market.] It's really good, fresh from the bakers'!
[He signals the other hand, directing it at a nearby bush. Hopefully he's there... or somewhere, he thinks. Because usual hiding spots and all.]
[At first, it didn't seem like Ace was going to come out, or that he wasn't there. But some rustling in the bushes nearby signified that maybe he was there, he was just sneaking around. His back was hunched up while he was in his wolf form as he hid from Sabo in the bushes, grinning as much as a wolf can, even though the other couldn't see.
He does this a lot lately, it seems.
So while Sabo directs his hand towards a nearby bush, Ace sneakily goes behind him, waiting for a few seconds before he leaps in the air and pounces on top of the blonde, licking the side of his face a few times after they hit the ground, his tail wagging.
After that, he morphs into his human form, his hands on either side of Sabo as he still has him pinned to the ground.]
Hey, thanks.
[He says this with a sly smirk as he grabs the piece of bread.]
Don't mention it. [It's amazing how a companion like Ace can be so sweet even when he's smirking.. compared how he was before. He remembers his first meeting being pretty rugged.. and cold. It took some time to warm up to the warlock but he's definitely seeing the warm afffection coming from the wolf. Sabo kneels down, ruffles the other's hair, and grins at him.]
I'm glad you're around. I didn't think what I'd do without your presence. [He gives him a kiss on the forehead, his hands held to Ace's face while he does so.]
Just don't get too hungry now. [Joking that he'd leave, as he chuckles. Nah.. he's not gonna leave just yet. He stands back up, turns around and flips an apple over his head from one hand to the other.]
[Ah, yes, when they first met it was very rough, but he did eventually warm up to the warlock... Along with bringing some other feelings into the mix. He had thought he should only feel this way towards an alpha wolf, being an omega himself, but after spending so much time with Sabo, he really couldn't see himself feeling this way about anyone else.
That being said, he wasn't sure if he would be able to confess to the warlock, so he just shows his affection by pouncing on Sabo and other things that most domestic dogs do, like licking their owner's faces. So he does just that, on Sabo's left cheek. Then, he leans in as Sabo ruffles his hair, enjoying his touch, as he grins back, his tail wagging behind him. He takes a huge bite of his bread, almost eating half at once.]
Yeah, that's true, you would have such a lonely time without me.
[Ace smirks once more, obviously joking with Sabo, but once the blonde holds his face and kisses his forehead, Ace stares at him, wide-eyed, before blushing and turning his face to the side. He doesn't even react to Sabo's joking and lets him go, watching him stand back up out of the corner of his eye. He nibbles a bit on his bread.]
[That is, until he sees the apple. He goes back to grinning and wagging his tail, eating the rest of his bread before glaring at Sabo with humor in his eyes.]
Play dead? Really? I'm not a puppy to be trained!
[But he chuckles before standing up, too, and smirking at Sabo, leaning in a hair too much for comfort.]
I bet I can catch it instead.
[And Ace does try to swipe it away from him while it's in midair. Will you let him catch it or not, Sabo?]
[Sabo hasn't seen eye to eye with Ace on that level.. or rather, he never wonders what Ace was thinking when he mentioned he was his companion. In his case.. he did think of him as more than just brethren.. someone he can share his closest memories with, but he doesn't ask if Ace interpeted it as anything different. Perhaps.. like owner and his dog.
With how he is regardless, Sabo enjoys every little moment he does share with the young wolf. He hasn't asked about his clan (besides the little brother), nor asks anything in regards to how he lives. He just knows that he resides in the forest and that he lives off whatever he could hunt for. The knowledge of magic seems well known in his clan as he's been told, and he's thankful Ace could help out every moment he can. ]
Hey.. stop that..
[Sabo laughs as he gets tickle tongued by the other. His joyous smile as the alpha nuzzles up to his companion shines through, holding his hands around Ace's neck as the wolf does so.]
Try it then.
[As the apple in the air distracts him, it lands on one of his palms and he tosses the apple right at the raven haired werewolf, giving a clever grin.]
Fetch, little wolf. [A snicker and a smile from the blond, holding his hand up above his forehead with his eyes closed. Hopefully you can catch this one, Ace.]
[Of course, Ace doesn't know exactly what Sabo's thinking, though he hoped calling him his companion showed the blonde just how much the werewolf thought of him. He wouldn't call any other human, with magic or not, his companion. It meant something different to him, though it wasn't like they were dating or anything yet. But it was worth thinking that he did have a love for Sabo in a different way than his love for Luffy. That much should be obvious.
His clan had joked with him that Sabo was his owner, which is the reason why he's very happy that Sabo doesn't ask about them. They're all as crazy as Luffy and his friends. Though Ace does still think highly of them, of course.
But for now... Ace frowns at Sabo's nickname.]
Don't call me that, dingbat!!
[He yells this before he morphs back into a wolf. Ace then runs to catch the apple swiftly, with his mouth, showing it to Sabo proudly as he sits and wags his tail. After a moment, he shifts back to his half-human state and bites into the apple as his half-hand half-paw holds it, grinning slyly at the blonde as he waves his prize in the air.]
Okay, loser. [He snickers.. amused at his wolf companion being so annoyed at his nickname. He only did it for fun.. to get a reaction out of you of course. Not in a mean way, Ace!!
He holds his fist to his mouth, failing to hide his amusement. He observes the werewolf closely as the apple is caught by him. When he's given the smirk and the consumption of the apple, he could only devilishly grin back.]
You're silly. [He walks over closer to the half human and bites into the apple Ace was biting into and chews the part he bit into. He then holds his companion's hands with his own, looking down at the other's chest affectionately.]
You're by yourself tonight, right? [His voice is a bit softer than usual as he says this. He has had a moment to think a bit about what else he wanted to do to take the stress. Well.. besides playing with the werewolf.]
[This time he only holds his serious look for a few seconds before chuckling himself. His tail wagging might have given it away that he was feeling happy. Taking another bite of his apple, Ace smirks at Sabo, about to say something in response.
But once he also bites into the apple that Ace was currently biting into himself, Ace stares at him in bewilderment, nearly dropping his treat. If it weren't for Sabo holding his hands, he would have had a dirt-filled apple... He stares at their hands touching each other's for a moment before looking up to see Sabo staring at something-- Was he staring at Ace's chest!? It's taking all he can to not just make out with the warlock right on the spot; he really wants to kiss him now. Ace blushes a bit, but not before grinning slyly.]
Like what you see?
[He puffs out his chest while still allowing Sabo to hold onto his hands, one still holding onto the apple, of course. When Sabo asks his question, Ace tilts his head a bit, his voice also a bit softer than usual. He's still not sure what to think about all this, mainly because he's pretty sure Sabo doesn't think of him the way he thinks of Sabo. Oh, how wrong you are, Ace.]
[Ace, you silly, silly werewolf. Sabo likes what you're showing more than you think, and in a not so much friends.. and beyond your loyal companionship. He likes you for you.. truth and everything. He laughs quietly as he hears Ace says those words.]
Why wouldn't I? It's inevitable, is it not?
[Because it's obvious he hasn't gotten the clue yet. He holds his hands further up, and moves Ace's pawed hands to his chest, smirking in a provoking manner. He's curious if he can turn him on but instead teases this action and also saying the next few lines he had in mind.]
I was thinking.. maybe we could find an area around the bushes.... or maybe a cave somewhere where we could be alone. Just the two of us. [The implications are real and yet Sabo has yet to be direct. What will it be young, dark, and handsome?]
[Oh god, Ace meant that as a joke, but... When Sabo laughs quietly and says those words, Ace's cheeks turn pink and he just stares at the warlock.
Which left Sabo open to do anything, and that's when Ace realizes that he is making him touch his chest. He turns red now. How dare you, Sabo. It takes all he can not to just devour you right here, let alone doing this. His hands begin to shake slightly as he barely moves them to feel that chest more. He's honestly about to be turned on, but then he hears what Sabo has to say, and his mind just starts racing. As does his heart.
What did he mean by those words? Did Sabo like him? Like, in the way Ace likes Sabo? What would they even do... besides that in those areas?? Was that actually what he meant, or is Ace's mind too far in the gutter right now?
This time his whole face just becomes as red as a tomato and Ace lifts his hands off of the warlock's chest. He bites his bottom lip and looks away, his voice is barely above a whisper.]
Ah... what I mean is by this. [He gives a kiss on the forehead and then another on the cheek. Sabo.. that's not how to be direct but he doesn't really care because of how much fun he is flirting with him.
He then looks over at Ace, who is just red as ever and smiles gently at the werewolf. A hint of blush can be seen from the warlock as he thinks fondly of his companion. He means it very intimately and nothing less. The fact that you're just so cute when you blush definitely tickles his mind as he continues leading him on.]
I mean that I love you. [Sabo closes the distance between them again, leaning over at the werewolf and has his forehead touch the other.]
Did you think I mean it any other way? [He takes one of his hands, and rubs a thumb onto Ace's lip. His other hand gravitates toward Ace's chest now, feeling the rapid heartbeat of his.] What were you thinking?
[Ace just stares at Sabo after the small kisses on his forehead and cheek. He feels like his chest is about to burst by just these two kisses, and he blushes almost more. Plus, when Sabo faintly blushes, he can't help but think of him as cute...
But then he says the words Ace wanted to hear the most. Ace stares into Sabo's eyes with wide ones of his own. He's beginning to love the touch of Sabo's thumb on his lips, the hand on his chest. They hadn't been this intimate before, so it's something new to Ace.
He tries to say something in response, but he can't think of anything right now.
So he just lets his body do the talking for him.
Ace pushes, albeit more gently than he was expecting, Sabo down while one hand was on the back of his head to cushion it from the ground. All too quickly, Ace is already laying on top of him, kissing Sabo's lips, desperate for his touch, desperate for more. He even starts to kiss at Sabo's jaw, then licks the scar around his left eye.
But then he abruptly stops himself and pushes himself up off of the ground, hovering over the blonde. Why did he do that??? What did he just do?????? Oh my god oh my god what's Sabo even going to say.
There's a long pause before he tears his eyes away from Sabo's.]
M'sorry.
[There's another pause before Ace just buries his face into Sabo's shirt, clutching to his arms. His voice is small and soft when he finally speaks.]
I... love you, too. I really do.
[He takes a shaky breath.]
I thought you always meant as... a brother. Or loyal companion.
[He looks up now, his chin resting on Sabo's chest. He's still not making eye contact and his face is still bright red, but... He continues, his voice the same as before.]
Not-- Not like I meant it as. I always... always meant it this way.
[Then he just kind of pouts and looks at Sabo, finally, before burying his face in Sabo's chest again.]
[Whoa there, Ace.. whoa. You definitely took the warlock by surprise with that push. Even if gentle, he is rather startled at these turn of events, turning a bit pink at the werewolf when he lands on the ground. At the same time... he enjoys every minute of it. He chuckles, touched by the kissing of his jaw and the licking around the left side of his face and could only blush more at the thought before he hears the apology.]
I... it's okay. It's really okay, Ace. [He is shocked for a few minutes himself before he shakes his head, still complacent of their situation. His words.. while a bit surprised and a little hurt Ace thought that, only mended when he said the last few words. What his feelings toward the warlock were. That was enough for him to be a little emotional himself.]
I'm touched.. and I didn't even know you'd think that I'd feel like that. [He wraps his arms around the werewolf, and puts his head against Ace's shoulder.] I really mean it. When I said 'companion', I meant something more than just friendship, more than brotherhood.
[His tears come out, sniffling a little at the werewolf.] I'm amazed you didn't say anything earlier. [His voice almost cracking at the thought, he laughs a little trying to break the emotions between the two.]
I'm sorry myself. ...Ace, you. [He rubs his face against Ace's, and kisses his neck.] You're someone special to me. I'll remind you every time-- every day if I have to.
[Ace kept his face buried into Sabo's chest as he listens to him speak, just trying to hide the redness of his face. He looks up, finally, when the blonde tells Ace that it's okay, staring into his eyes before pushing himself off the ground to hover above Sabo again. He's about to ask if he's sure, but Sabo speaks again and hugs him, which surprises the werewolf slightly.
Ace settles his knees on either side of the warlock and holds him, as well, moving one hand up to stroke those blonde locks. When he speaks again, his voice cracks.]
Sorry... I'm-- [He takes a shaky breath.] I'm glad to know now, at least.
[But then he feels tears on his shoulder, which makes him hold the warlock closer to him, despite the increase of his heartbeat. He swallows when Sabo continues speaking.]
How long... have you-- [A pause.] No, never mind. I... I'm sorry, I didn't realize earlier.
[He bites his lip, but when Sabo laughs, Ace makes a sheepish laugh of his own and smiles warmly.
He nuzzles Sabo back before he kisses Ace's neck, but once he does so, and also tells him how much he loves Ace, said werewolf goes wide-eyed and stares at Sabo for a few moments. Now it's Ace's turn to tear up a bit, burying his face in Sabo's shoulder. The next words he says he chokes out in barely a whisper.]
Thank you.
[There's a small pause before he speaks a little louder, though he doesn't move his face from the other's shoulder. His face is beet red and even his ears reflect that now.]
You're very special to me, too, Sabo. I love you, too.
[He sits like that for several more moments in silence before lifting his head up and kissing the warlock softly on the lips, eyes falling shut as he locks his lips with Sabo's.]

[Sitting in the room on the highest floor of the lighthouse is Ace, waiting for a certain someone to come upstairs, too. This had been his secret hideout throughout part of high school, and now houses a small couch, a coffee table, and an end table with a lamp. It's small, but cozy and nice to come to whenever he wants. Which is often, now that he reconciled with that certain someone.
He had climbed up once while Ace was there as well, and they sat and caught up with each other's lives. They had been in the same class in high school, so they remembered each other, but it didn't take long for them to become friends. They joke around now, as well as just enjoy each other's company.
But something strange happened, too. A little while after they had become friends and started to hang out more often, Ace had begun to develop... feelings for this person.
Which wouldn't be a problem if they weren't both guys. And that his crush was from the underwater city below the port close to the lighthouse.
So Ace came up with a stupid plan. Introduce him to the Pocky game. Which is a silly game, he must admit, but even if he finds out the other person doesn't have any feelings for him, they can just both laugh it off.
It could also be a test to see if Ace really loved him.
But now he's a little nervous, though he's just sitting on the couch, playing a handheld game, waiting for his company to arrive.]
[You'd know if Sabo would recall being in a forest... he would do so but..
he doesn't remember a thing. The surroundings seem vaguely nostalgic however, as if his body knew how to move through such gallant forestry. The wiff of the pine, and his boots touching the wood as he jumps through as he questions this "game" he is participating in.
He doesn't question the why... he doesn't even ponder it. Games are fun, right? In this familiar but unfamiliar setting, he might as well play it. No rules were explained but he has it figured out.
[Ace found a sturdy tree to sit in quite soon after he found himself in the forest. He didn't know what was going on, but it seemed almost familiar, as if he had been in a similar place before.
He didn't remember anything... Except about the "game" he's participating in. He sat there, pondering what was going on. He tips his hat - is this really his own hat? oh well, - downward as he thinks, but then smirks to himself. Either way, he decided, it's a game. He might as well have fun with it. Nodding to himself, he stands and decides to continue forward.
Jumping along the trees, holding his hat to his head, he feels familiarity with the environment. Not specifically this forest, but it was if he had lived in a forest before. Ace shakes his head before jumping to the next tree. That doesn't matter right now, not really.
Suddenly, he notices another young man in blue navigating through the trees a bit ahead of him and to the left. This guy must be in the "game", too, Ace thinks. It would be good to get to know the others, since they'll be working together. He nods to himself and starts to jump in that direction. As he got closer, he noticed more about the young man. His golden hair, the top hat on his head. He felt familiarity with the man, but he couldn't place it at all. Well, they'll be able to figure it out later. He continued to hop closer, and as soon as he was with in earshot, he yells at him.]
Yo! Wait up!
[It's up to Sabo whether to comply or deny, honestly. Ace is half-naked and probably a weirdo in this world, lbh.]

Date: 2016-07-23 10:49 am (UTC)[It was rare for Sabo to see anything but the dull colors in his life. Whenever he wakes up, it was all dull. There was a lack of bright happy colors and just a neutral tone of everything around him. He goes on his missions like normal, running around endlessly seeking a better tomorrow but it doesn't satisify him enough. The closest that would still bring joy to him was Luffy, his only living brother. But even that fades away as Luffy has his own pirate life to sail with his crew, adventures and the like. Sabo is left to lead a life of just the usual, just the life of being a Revolutionary. Sometimes it would be exciting but sometimes even the few days he has off numbs his brain into doing anything worthwhile.]
Ahh... wonder what else is going to go on. [He says this in a plain tone, standing near the deck looking out to the night skies.] Maybe I'll go on another mission again. [He steps back, wondering if he could see a more colorful life. The last time he has had it was with Ace, but he never realized it until after his passing.]
[It was then he felt a resonation within him. His eyes widened, and he could feel the nerves jumping within his body, darting at his brain. What's even going on.]

Date: 2016-07-25 05:05 am (UTC)And something truly magical it was. Some would also call it a miracle.
Right in front of Sabo, the stars that had fallen danced around like fairies, constructing something. No, it was more like someone. They zipped and zoomed around on the ship's deck, slowly creating a human body, engulfing the area around the body in a bright light.
But it wasn't just any human. And it wasn't someone Sabo wouldn't recognize.
Eventually, the stars had finished creating this miracle and the light died down, finally showing what - well, who - exactly the stars created.
There was still a bit of light behind the body, as if he were an angel coming down from heaven. But once the light stopped shining, the man was suddenly starting to fall, face first, to the ground.
The man in question was someone who was supposed to be dead. But by some magic, by some miracle, he's recreated by the lights that had fallen from the sky.
There in front of Sabo fell Ace, looking exactly how he did before he died. No wound or scar on his abdominal. But the tattoos on his back and arm were there, along with the shorts, boots, and hat he always wore. Even his bracelets and necklace were there. He was perfectly reconstructed right in front of the blonde. Please catch him before he falls, Sabo.
If the other man checks, there is a steady heartbeat, as well as steady breathing coming from Ace. He's just passed out at this moment, as if it was his own energy that recreated his whole body.]
no subject
Date: 2016-08-12 08:49 am (UTC)As his body stopped and froze, Sabo instinctively looked up at the sky.. looking at the speckle of light shining through the night sky. It was bright.. and also a bit strange... This sensation does tell him that it definitely wasn't the sun. The colors in his eyes just illuminated and turned that light from a light gray to a bright yellow. The night sky was then ... turned into a shade of dark blue. Very eerie.
But as soon as the light disappeared.. he questioned what even happened? Did a star burn out? Was he just imagining things? The color didn't.. disappear then, and Sabo was just a bit startled on even why he's only starting to see these vibrant colors now.
It was then he saw Ace's body falling towards him. It was dark at night, but there was a lamp at the boat to see a bit of the night scene. Even if it didn't spread the light wide enough, he could subtly tell that a human body was falling toward him. He holds out his arms for the body that fell. He gripped onto the body as soon as he caught the brother, not even paying attention that it was him because well the weight of his arms was almost sudden. He closed his eyes for that moment when he felt the weight on his arms.]
That's got to be heavy.. what are the chances someone would just fall out of the sky in the middle of the ni-
[It was then he noticed who he he had in his arms. His eyes just laid open, his pupils dilated from the sight that he's almost in tears. This human being.. this black haired brood.. was Ace. The brother he knew. The brother he thought he would never meet again. He knew, as soon as he saw that face. It was colorful. His complexion, his garments... were all in color. In some kind of mysterious miracle that would only happen in fairy tales.... it was truly some kind of fate.]
Ace?! [In a much surprised tone, very loud in fact! Sabo, you're lucky the others are pretty much knocked out. Though it might be a different case for Ace..]
no subject
Date: 2016-08-21 06:52 am (UTC)Which is weird, because he shouldn't be alive, but... He could tell he was dreaming somehow. Probably because he was dreaming of his childhood, but of things he didn't quite remember. Like something was off about them.
They were exploring like usual, Ace, Sabo, and Luffy, but it ended up differently than what he remembered. Ace, as a child, fell down and hit his head, while a small Sabo went to grab him and hold him in his arms, worried.
The dream then shifted to them older, though Ace knew (well, thought) that wasn't possible, and now they're adults, and Sabo's holding him, and--
Did someone just call his name?
The loud, surprised voice does wake up the freckled man. He stirs first, moving his head slightly. Slowly opening his eyes (which should be impossible), he stares at the other man holding him in his arms. He blinks in bewilderment, and then notices something. The colors.
He swallows hard as he remembers. He had never seen in color since he was around Sabo, and now he could see the deep blue of this man's jacket, the golden hair, the color of his skin... The red scar around one of his eyes. Even the colors of the night sky and the ship they were on. Ace didn't know what ship it was, even, but... This man. He reminds him of Sabo. So he blurts it out as he just stares tiredly at him.]
Sa...bo?
[But this should be impossible, too. Unless they were in heaven. Or... whatever afterlife they believe in. But then why is Sabo older now?
But then he realized this might not be Sabo, which makes him try to mouth something as he stands up straight, resting one hand on the man's shoulder for balance... But he doesn't take it away. For some reason he seems drawn to him.
Ace stares into those brilliant blue eyes of his. No... This must be Sabo. There were so many clues pointed towards it. He looks like him, first of all, even though his hair is longer. Secondly, there's something that just makes Ace feel like saying, yes this is Sabo. Thirdly, and probably most importantly, he's seeing colors around him. That only happened with one person...
He finally says something, in a hushed tone, though it's not much. Forgive him, Sabo, he's still sleepy and can't comprehend words right now.]
You're... Are you... ?
7b, fluff meme
Date: 2016-08-18 07:59 am (UTC)[It was the middle of the day, as lunch period was a thing. Todoroki was standing on the rooftop of a building, leaning towards one of the railings fenced around the area. He had been sipping a carton of apple juice for a long while waiting for Izuku. Holding up a memo he had gotten crumbled up.. he rereads what it said. "Get Midoriya to confess to you" with a smudge at the end, implying there might have been more written. He thought it was.. odd.. strange even, considering he had gotten this from Aizawa-sensei. Is it another threat to fail his class? A prank for his own amusement? He seems.. rather lost at it, but takes the challenge anyway. Izuku couldn't have done anything wrong, right?
In any case.... He sent Izuku a letter of what time and place to meet the two-tone haired guy... though he didn't address it as himself. Rather, he kept it anonymous. He didn't forget. He just chose not to, thinking it would be easier if Izuku found out on his own. Todoroki finishes up his drink, sipping every last drop before folding up nicely and stuffing in his bag. It would be rather unethical to toss it over the fence..only a uneducated hero would do that.
He plants a foot on the rims of the fence. He waits.. looking the sky. It's bright, clear as day. Much like the famous All Might.. a respectable hero to all. He then just looks back down. Hopefully, Izuku will come soon.]
dyin
Date: 2016-08-18 07:20 pm (UTC)He had told Ochako and Iida that he had somewhere to be, and they had told him "good luck," which didn't really bode well for Izuku, since he hadn't told either of them about the letter at all. He sighed when he climbed the stairs, and when he eventually reached the top, he decided to take a peek at who had sent him the letter. It had made him nervous that it was anonymous, of course, but he didn't expect a certain two-tone haired boy to be standing on the roof.
His heart leapt in his chest and he felt the most nervous he's ever felt since the day he went through the testing at U.A. ... He stared out of the window for quite some time, trying to figure out what to do...
Maybe it's okay!! Maybe Todoroki just wanted to help him with something! Or anything else!!! He won't get his hopes up. Izuku had liked the boy even more since they gotten to know each other a little better, and he gradually found out that he probably maybe wanted to kiss the boy. So it made some of their more recent interactions awkward... Even to the point where others had noticed. But it didn't seem like Todoroki had noticed?? Well, even if he did, he had hid it pretty well from Izuku...
After hesitating for a moment more, Izuku slaps his cheeks with both hands and then nods to himself. He became more confident in fighting and facing Kacchan after coming to this academy, he can be confident with this, too! So he opens the door slowly, peeking his head around the corner, and sheepishly grinning towards Todoroki. As he walks onto the roof, a little closer to the other boy, he speaks.]
Ah... Todoroki-kun! Was it you that sent me that letter...?
[Stuttering his words slightly, Izuku's cheeks turn a little pink as he looks down at his hands, fidgeting with them. He shouldn't be this nervous!!]
no subject
Date: 2016-08-18 10:11 pm (UTC)I wanted to ask if you needed help with anything. [His hands, one on top of the other, while still concentrated at the other student.] Aizawa-sensei mentioned to me something and I'm not entirely sure how to go about it.
[His eyebrows furrowed slightly.. one of his hands gripped onto his face in a pondering like expression.]
Like as if you were in trouble.. or needed assistance on a test. He said something about needed to admit to something but, what.... [He is very concerned for you, Izuku. It's almost endearing. Sorry he's kind of clueless on how he's feeling right now though..]
no subject
Date: 2016-08-20 06:48 am (UTC)And then the next words surprised Izuku. Not only because it confirmed that Todoroki hadn't noticed how flustered he was around him, but also because Aizawa-sensei... Aizawa-sensei, of all people, mentioned something to the other boy.
Izuku stares at Todoroki's pondering expression, noting how it fit the boy... How it's almost cute... Wait, no, he has to concentrate on what was going on!!
And then he tips his head, listening to Todoroki finishing his thoughts... only to blush more. What the heck did Aizawa-sensei say!?]
Um! I'm not in trouble or anything! I did fine on the last test, too...
[Maybe he meant help with training? But he can't tell anyone else about One for All, so he can really only train with All Might...
He just kind of shrinks in on himself a little, still fidgeting with his hands.]
What did he say, exactly? I-I don't think there's much I need to admit...
[Besides his feelings for you, Todoroki, but he's very adamant about keeping it a secret. For now.]
no subject
Date: 2016-08-21 06:32 am (UTC)[His eyebrows furrowed a few seconds, before he told the details from Aizawa to his classmate.] His exact words were written as "Get Midoriya to confess to you" ...though it's rather strange of him to write that sort of thing. Confess to me about what? [He's a bit concerned, maybe troubled that his first friend had something to say but he could not figure out what exactly. Hello, clueless about relationships, much.]
I don't think you'd hide anything from me though... It's not like you had any dark secrets or something... [Though then when he looked back up, he noticed how Izuku was flustering all the over the place, fidgeting... his introverted behavior is just having Todoroki's eyes widen with a hint of blush on his cheeks. He shouldn't be this cute. How does this happen. ]
But I digress I.. [He turns to the side a little, keeping a composure even while his face is lightly flushed. He then focuses his eyes back on Izuku with a calm expression, as if he were smiling.] I think you have your well intentions even if you kept something from anyone, including me. [He slightly tilts his head down, closing his eyes while keeping the curl on his mouth. Izuku is a good person.. someone that really could be a real hero one day.]
no subject
Date: 2016-08-23 05:23 am (UTC)[Izuku gives a small bow after Todoroki congratulated him, then straightens back out when he speaks again.
And then his face just goes a tomato red.
As he puts his hand to his mouth, Izuku starts to mumble something (mostly wondering how Aizawa-sensei figured it out); it's not very coherent, but he's thinking deeply about this, almost not hearing the rest of Todoroki's words. But he snaps back into reality when Todoroki says he has well intentions. He swallows hard and puts his hands up, waving them a little.]
N-no, no, I don't really-- It's not like I have many secrets-- Wait, that's not what I mean, I....
[He's stumbling and stuttering over his words, flailing his arms around slightly, and continuing to blush. Then all of a sudden, he stops, looks down at the ground with closed eyes. He swallows again.
Maybe he could get an idea of what Todoroki thinks about dating other guys. Or just dating in general. So with his head still down, cheeks still red, and his eyes shut tight, he mumbles his next words, but loud enough for Todoroki to be able to hear.]
There's... Someone in our class that I like.
[God, why is he so honest?! Why couldn't he just make up a lie about this... But no, this is Todoroki, and he doesn't want to lie to him...]
no subject
Date: 2016-09-20 06:13 am (UTC)I would not put it past you but you should definitely confess to that person. [He stays pretty nonchalant as he says this. Because honesty is the best policy. Being straight out with your feelings, be it about your homework or someone you fell for.]
It's no problem though. You're a hero that deserves some respect. The way you got me to use my most hated side... the one once associated with my father. It was admirable. [He knows this for a fact. He hated using his fiery side as much as anyone. But to have Izuku make him realize that it's not that bad using all of his powers.. it really is something that goes beyond his expectations. He crosses his arms, looking under trying to get a peek of Izuku's face.]
no subject
Date: 2016-10-25 07:03 am (UTC)But then he speaks again and gives him advice he wasn't sure he was ready for. He knows Todoroki has been pretty honest, himself, but Izuku kind of shrinks in on himself... Waiting for the other to finish his thoughts.
Izuku blushes yet again as he hears Todoroki's gratefulness and puts his hands in the air, waving them back and forth.]
Oh, no, no, I'm not as great as you or Kacchan or Iida-san...!!
[He lowers his head again, furrowing his brows. How can he take this much praise from the guy he's been crushing on...? He bites his lip.
He still didn't quite know what Todoroki thought of dating in general, though it seemed like he was okay with boys dating other boys... Still, he thought he can't be too careful.]
I-I'd like to confess, but... I don't think they'd want to date someone l-like me...
[He closes his eyes tight and balls his hands into fists. It was now or never, Izuku. After a long pause he speaks again to clarify what he meant.]
W-we're... Both g-guys.
A warlock and his werewolf - what furry adventures will come of the two
Date: 2016-10-17 07:38 am (UTC)Today however was a day of solitude as Sabo settles on a rock near a pond. It was a quiet day but free of apprentice teachings and studying. Normally he'd accept the books and the curriculum head on, but lately he's been stressed and took a breather right in the middle of the forest.]
Ace. Ace!! Come out. I've got some food to give you. [He takes out a bag next to him, revealing a piece of bread he had bought at a farmer's market.] It's really good, fresh from the bakers'!
[He signals the other hand, directing it at a nearby bush. Hopefully he's there... or somewhere, he thinks. Because usual hiding spots and all.]
all the furry adventures. all of them.
Date: 2016-10-18 05:27 am (UTC)[At first, it didn't seem like Ace was going to come out, or that he wasn't there. But some rustling in the bushes nearby signified that maybe he was there, he was just sneaking around. His back was hunched up while he was in his wolf form as he hid from Sabo in the bushes, grinning as much as a wolf can, even though the other couldn't see.
He does this a lot lately, it seems.
So while Sabo directs his hand towards a nearby bush, Ace sneakily goes behind him, waiting for a few seconds before he leaps in the air and pounces on top of the blonde, licking the side of his face a few times after they hit the ground, his tail wagging.
After that, he morphs into his human form, his hands on either side of Sabo as he still has him pinned to the ground.]
Hey, thanks.
[He says this with a sly smirk as he grabs the piece of bread.]
no subject
Date: 2016-10-24 06:44 am (UTC)I'm glad you're around. I didn't think what I'd do without your presence. [He gives him a kiss on the forehead, his hands held to Ace's face while he does so.]
Just don't get too hungry now. [Joking that he'd leave, as he chuckles. Nah.. he's not gonna leave just yet. He stands back up, turns around and flips an apple over his head from one hand to the other.]
What will you do for an apple? Play dead?
1/2
Date: 2016-10-25 06:18 am (UTC)[Ah, yes, when they first met it was very rough, but he did eventually warm up to the warlock... Along with bringing some other feelings into the mix. He had thought he should only feel this way towards an alpha wolf, being an omega himself, but after spending so much time with Sabo, he really couldn't see himself feeling this way about anyone else.
That being said, he wasn't sure if he would be able to confess to the warlock, so he just shows his affection by pouncing on Sabo and other things that most domestic dogs do, like licking their owner's faces. So he does just that, on Sabo's left cheek. Then, he leans in as Sabo ruffles his hair, enjoying his touch, as he grins back, his tail wagging behind him. He takes a huge bite of his bread, almost eating half at once.]
Yeah, that's true, you would have such a lonely time without me.
[Ace smirks once more, obviously joking with Sabo, but once the blonde holds his face and kisses his forehead, Ace stares at him, wide-eyed, before blushing and turning his face to the side. He doesn't even react to Sabo's joking and lets him go, watching him stand back up out of the corner of his eye. He nibbles a bit on his bread.]
2/2
Date: 2016-10-25 06:20 am (UTC)[That is, until he sees the apple. He goes back to grinning and wagging his tail, eating the rest of his bread before glaring at Sabo with humor in his eyes.]
Play dead? Really? I'm not a puppy to be trained!
[But he chuckles before standing up, too, and smirking at Sabo, leaning in a hair too much for comfort.]
I bet I can catch it instead.
[And Ace does try to swipe it away from him while it's in midair. Will you let him catch it or not, Sabo?]
no subject
Date: 2016-10-25 06:50 am (UTC)With how he is regardless, Sabo enjoys every little moment he does share with the young wolf. He hasn't asked about his clan (besides the little brother), nor asks anything in regards to how he lives. He just knows that he resides in the forest and that he lives off whatever he could hunt for. The knowledge of magic seems well known in his clan as he's been told, and he's thankful Ace could help out every moment he can. ]
Hey.. stop that..
[Sabo laughs as he gets tickle tongued by the other. His joyous smile as the alpha nuzzles up to his companion shines through, holding his hands around Ace's neck as the wolf does so.]
Try it then.
[As the apple in the air distracts him, it lands on one of his palms and he tosses the apple right at the raven haired werewolf, giving a clever grin.]
Fetch, little wolf. [A snicker and a smile from the blond, holding his hand up above his forehead with his eyes closed. Hopefully you can catch this one, Ace.]
no subject
Date: 2016-10-25 07:35 am (UTC)[Of course, Ace doesn't know exactly what Sabo's thinking, though he hoped calling him his companion showed the blonde just how much the werewolf thought of him. He wouldn't call any other human, with magic or not, his companion. It meant something different to him, though it wasn't like they were dating or anything yet. But it was worth thinking that he did have a love for Sabo in a different way than his love for Luffy. That much should be obvious.
His clan had joked with him that Sabo was his owner, which is the reason why he's very happy that Sabo doesn't ask about them. They're all as crazy as Luffy and his friends. Though Ace does still think highly of them, of course.
But for now... Ace frowns at Sabo's nickname.]
Don't call me that, dingbat!!
[He yells this before he morphs back into a wolf. Ace then runs to catch the apple swiftly, with his mouth, showing it to Sabo proudly as he sits and wags his tail. After a moment, he shifts back to his half-human state and bites into the apple as his half-hand half-paw holds it, grinning slyly at the blonde as he waves his prize in the air.]
Told ya.
[He chuckles and bites into the apple again.]
no subject
Date: 2016-10-27 07:28 am (UTC)He holds his fist to his mouth, failing to hide his amusement. He observes the werewolf closely as the apple is caught by him. When he's given the smirk and the consumption of the apple, he could only devilishly grin back.]
You're silly. [He walks over closer to the half human and bites into the apple Ace was biting into and chews the part he bit into. He then holds his companion's hands with his own, looking down at the other's chest affectionately.]
You're by yourself tonight, right? [His voice is a bit softer than usual as he says this. He has had a moment to think a bit about what else he wanted to do to take the stress. Well.. besides playing with the werewolf.]
no subject
Date: 2016-10-27 07:10 pm (UTC)Whatever, doofus.
[This time he only holds his serious look for a few seconds before chuckling himself. His tail wagging might have given it away that he was feeling happy. Taking another bite of his apple, Ace smirks at Sabo, about to say something in response.
But once he also bites into the apple that Ace was currently biting into himself, Ace stares at him in bewilderment, nearly dropping his treat. If it weren't for Sabo holding his hands, he would have had a dirt-filled apple... He stares at their hands touching each other's for a moment before looking up to see Sabo staring at something-- Was he staring at Ace's chest!? It's taking all he can to not just make out with the warlock right on the spot; he really wants to kiss him now. Ace blushes a bit, but not before grinning slyly.]
Like what you see?
[He puffs out his chest while still allowing Sabo to hold onto his hands, one still holding onto the apple, of course. When Sabo asks his question, Ace tilts his head a bit, his voice also a bit softer than usual. He's still not sure what to think about all this, mainly because he's pretty sure Sabo doesn't think of him the way he thinks of Sabo. Oh, how wrong you are, Ace.]
Yeah, I am. Why?
no subject
Date: 2016-10-30 10:06 am (UTC)Why wouldn't I? It's inevitable, is it not?
[Because it's obvious he hasn't gotten the clue yet. He holds his hands further up, and moves Ace's pawed hands to his chest, smirking in a provoking manner. He's curious if he can turn him on but instead teases this action and also saying the next few lines he had in mind.]
I was thinking.. maybe we could find an area around the bushes.... or maybe a cave somewhere where we could be alone. Just the two of us. [The implications are real and yet Sabo has yet to be direct. What will it be young, dark, and handsome?]
no subject
Date: 2016-11-05 06:04 am (UTC)Which left Sabo open to do anything, and that's when Ace realizes that he is making him touch his chest. He turns red now. How dare you, Sabo. It takes all he can not to just devour you right here, let alone doing this. His hands begin to shake slightly as he barely moves them to feel that chest more. He's honestly about to be turned on, but then he hears what Sabo has to say, and his mind just starts racing. As does his heart.
What did he mean by those words? Did Sabo like him? Like, in the way Ace likes Sabo? What would they even do... besides that in those areas?? Was that actually what he meant, or is Ace's mind too far in the gutter right now?
This time his whole face just becomes as red as a tomato and Ace lifts his hands off of the warlock's chest. He bites his bottom lip and looks away, his voice is barely above a whisper.]
What... What do you mean?
no subject
Date: 2016-11-13 11:26 pm (UTC)He then looks over at Ace, who is just red as ever and smiles gently at the werewolf. A hint of blush can be seen from the warlock as he thinks fondly of his companion. He means it very intimately and nothing less. The fact that you're just so cute when you blush definitely tickles his mind as he continues leading him on.]
I mean that I love you. [Sabo closes the distance between them again, leaning over at the werewolf and has his forehead touch the other.]
Did you think I mean it any other way? [He takes one of his hands, and rubs a thumb onto Ace's lip. His other hand gravitates toward Ace's chest now, feeling the rapid heartbeat of his.] What were you thinking?

He tries to say something in response, but he can't think of anything right now.
So he just lets his body do the talking for him.
Ace pushes, albeit more gently than he was expecting, Sabo down while one hand was on the back of his head to cushion it from the ground. All too quickly, Ace is already laying on top of him, kissing Sabo's lips, desperate for his touch, desperate for more. He even starts to kiss at Sabo's jaw, then licks the scar around his left eye.
But then he abruptly stops himself and pushes himself up off of the ground, hovering over the blonde. Why did he do that??? What did he just do?????? Oh my god oh my god what's Sabo even going to say.
There's a long pause before he tears his eyes away from Sabo's.]
M'sorry.
[There's another pause before Ace just buries his face into Sabo's shirt, clutching to his arms. His voice is small and soft when he finally speaks.]
I... love you, too. I really do.
[He takes a shaky breath.]
I thought you always meant as... a brother. Or loyal companion.
[He looks up now, his chin resting on Sabo's chest. He's still not making eye contact and his face is still bright red, but... He continues, his voice the same as before.]
Not-- Not like I meant it as. I always... always meant it this way.
[Then he just kind of pouts and looks at Sabo, finally, before burying his face in Sabo's chest again.]

Date: 2016-11-28 08:51 am (UTC)I... it's okay. It's really okay, Ace. [He is shocked for a few minutes himself before he shakes his head, still complacent of their situation. His words.. while a bit surprised and a little hurt Ace thought that, only mended when he said the last few words. What his feelings toward the warlock were. That was enough for him to be a little emotional himself.]
I'm touched.. and I didn't even know you'd think that I'd feel like that. [He wraps his arms around the werewolf, and puts his head against Ace's shoulder.] I really mean it. When I said 'companion', I meant something more than just friendship, more than brotherhood.
[His tears come out, sniffling a little at the werewolf.] I'm amazed you didn't say anything earlier. [His voice almost cracking at the thought, he laughs a little trying to break the emotions between the two.]
I'm sorry myself. ...Ace, you. [He rubs his face against Ace's, and kisses his neck.] You're someone special to me. I'll remind you every time-- every day if I have to.
Because I love you that much.

Date: 2016-12-06 06:12 am (UTC)Ace settles his knees on either side of the warlock and holds him, as well, moving one hand up to stroke those blonde locks. When he speaks again, his voice cracks.]
Sorry... I'm-- [He takes a shaky breath.] I'm glad to know now, at least.
[But then he feels tears on his shoulder, which makes him hold the warlock closer to him, despite the increase of his heartbeat. He swallows when Sabo continues speaking.]
How long... have you-- [A pause.] No, never mind. I... I'm sorry, I didn't realize earlier.
[He bites his lip, but when Sabo laughs, Ace makes a sheepish laugh of his own and smiles warmly.
He nuzzles Sabo back before he kisses Ace's neck, but once he does so, and also tells him how much he loves Ace, said werewolf goes wide-eyed and stares at Sabo for a few moments. Now it's Ace's turn to tear up a bit, burying his face in Sabo's shoulder. The next words he says he chokes out in barely a whisper.]
Thank you.
[There's a small pause before he speaks a little louder, though he doesn't move his face from the other's shoulder. His face is beet red and even his ears reflect that now.]
You're very special to me, too, Sabo. I love you, too.
[He sits like that for several more moments in silence before lifting his head up and kissing the warlock softly on the lips, eyes falling shut as he locks his lips with Sabo's.]

Date: 2016-11-16 05:56 am (UTC)He had climbed up once while Ace was there as well, and they sat and caught up with each other's lives. They had been in the same class in high school, so they remembered each other, but it didn't take long for them to become friends. They joke around now, as well as just enjoy each other's company.
But something strange happened, too. A little while after they had become friends and started to hang out more often, Ace had begun to develop... feelings for this person.
Which wouldn't be a problem if they weren't both guys. And that his crush was from the underwater city below the port close to the lighthouse.
So Ace came up with a stupid plan. Introduce him to the Pocky game. Which is a silly game, he must admit, but even if he finds out the other person doesn't have any feelings for him, they can just both laugh it off.
It could also be a test to see if Ace really loved him.
But now he's a little nervous, though he's just sitting on the couch, playing a handheld game, waiting for his company to arrive.]

Date: 2017-05-16 08:07 am (UTC)he doesn't remember a thing. The surroundings seem vaguely nostalgic however, as if his body knew how to move through such gallant forestry. The wiff of the pine, and his boots touching the wood as he jumps through as he questions this "game" he is participating in.
He doesn't question the why... he doesn't even ponder it. Games are fun, right? In this familiar but unfamiliar setting, he might as well play it. No rules were explained but he has it figured out.
He'll play all right.
Team, or no team, he'll be sure to give his all.]
heres ur tag u damn nerd
Date: 2017-05-17 01:27 am (UTC)He didn't remember anything... Except about the "game" he's participating in. He sat there, pondering what was going on. He tips his hat - is this really his own hat? oh well, - downward as he thinks, but then smirks to himself. Either way, he decided, it's a game. He might as well have fun with it. Nodding to himself, he stands and decides to continue forward.
Jumping along the trees, holding his hat to his head, he feels familiarity with the environment. Not specifically this forest, but it was if he had lived in a forest before. Ace shakes his head before jumping to the next tree. That doesn't matter right now, not really.
Suddenly, he notices another young man in blue navigating through the trees a bit ahead of him and to the left. This guy must be in the "game", too, Ace thinks. It would be good to get to know the others, since they'll be working together. He nods to himself and starts to jump in that direction. As he got closer, he noticed more about the young man. His golden hair, the top hat on his head. He felt familiarity with the man, but he couldn't place it at all. Well, they'll be able to figure it out later. He continued to hop closer, and as soon as he was with in earshot, he yells at him.]
Yo! Wait up!
[It's up to Sabo whether to comply or deny, honestly. Ace is half-naked and probably a weirdo in this world, lbh.]
