[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.]
