I was walking in the woods trying to fet to heart castle, but of course i was lost and had no idea where to go. But this time, I was more confused than ever. And it was because of her. Alice. I couldn't stop thinking of her! Was it because I love her? No, It couldn't be, I can't be able to love! I have no heart! And I refuse to love the outsider. I just couldn't...

I finally realized that it was now nighttime, so i decided to put up camp. As I was putting up the tent, I heard footsteps coming this way. I took out my sword and was ready to attack, so i turned around ready to strike, but instead I was these beautiful sea blue-green eyes.

'Alice' I thought as i stared into those beautiful eyes of hers. "Alice!" I said, "What are you doing here so late at night?"

"Well I saw you walk by the clocktower," She said, "And I um, decided to follow you to see if you were ok." She blushed a little, I found that cute.

"Oh~ So I have a personal stalker, hmm?" I said jokingly to her.

"N-No!" She blushed even more, "I-I was just worried! Y-You seemed troubled."

"Hmm, I do?"

"Yeah," She looked at me concerned, "You looked as if you were sad."

"Hmm," I said, "Why would i be sad, dear Alice~?"

"I-I don't know," She stammered, "I guess it was stupid to follow you, I'll just go back to Julius at the clocktower."

Julius. He was my friend, but hearing her say his name made my heart twinge. I grabbed her arm and pulled her into my chest.

"A-Ace?"

"Stay with me," I whispered, "Please."

"O-Okay..."

"Alice," I said looking deep in her eyes, "Can I listen to your heart?"

"I-I guess..." She blushed. I smiled as I put my ear against her chest, and listened to that beautiful sound.

"Do you let anyone else listen to your heart?" I asked

"No."

"Would you let them listen to you're heart?" I couldn't stand the thought of anyone else listening to her heart but me.

"Well," She sighed, "I guess not."

"Good." I said as I closed my eyes, listening to that beautiful sound.

"Ace?" She said.

"Hmm?"

"Do you love me?" She asked sounding nervous.

"Sadly," I said, "Yes, I do love you."

"Sadly?" She asked, "Whats that suppost to mean?"

"Because everyone else loves you," I took my head off her chest and looked at her seriously, "So that would mean I'm just like everyone else."

"Ace," She took my hand and held it in hers. "You're different than the others...I feel different to you than the others."

"How so?"

"I feel my heart skip a beat when I'm around you, and i want to be near you, and I worry about you more than the others."

"Worry? Whats to worry about me?"

"I worry," She sighed and looked at me with sad eyes, "That you don't really love me."

"You think I don't love you?"

"I think you're just obsessed with me just like everyone else."

"Really," I sighed, knowing she didn't understand my love for her. "So I guess my love for you is fake..."

"No its just-"

"You're important to me Alice," I exclaimed, "I didn't realize it before, but you changed me. I now see life more than just killing, I see that it has those people precious to you, that you would sacrifice for, that you would do anything for..."

"Ace..." She whispered as I leaned forward towards her face, when i got close enough, I brushed my lips against hers, in a gentle kiss.

"Do you understand me now?" I asked her as I broke the kiss for a short moment.

"Yes..." She whispered, then brought me in for another kiss.

I love the Ace and Alice as a couple. I hope you liked it! I would like to thank xXSolaine-GirlXx for helping me with this story! Hope you enjoyed it!
