Yo! So, most of you have probably already read this, but I'm also posting it here on FF for those who haven't. Enjoy~! As usual, beta'ed by lunarshores!

Ace had no idea where he was. What a great way to start his college experience. He looked around for anyone who might help him find his way to the chemistry lab, but unfortunately, there was no one around. Everyone had already gone to their respective classes.

Ace groaned and sat down on a nearby bench. He opened up the map he had crumpled just seconds ago and tried to figure out where he was.

A few minutes later he still had no idea. He threw his head back and sighed. Staring at the open sky seemed to clear his head. The few clouds in the sky were a shocking white color, which contrasted with the electric blue of the sky. The sun shone brightly, its rays caressing Ace's skin with their warmth.

The moment was ruined when a sudden gust of wind blew the map of the campus from his hand. Deft fingers reached out in a futile attempt to catch the parchment before it floated out of reach. Ace stood up and started chasing the piece of paper that was his only way around the campus. He raced past the buildings, not caring about where he was going.

And then he crashed into someone. Ace fell to the ground with a groan of pain.

"I'm sorry, I should have been looking where I was going," he apologized to the person standing above him. Ace looked up… and everything seemed to freeze. The man standing before him looked to be about 35 years old. He had light blond hair piled up atop his head in a… unique… hairstyle that reminded Ace of a certain tropical fruit, his half-lidded blue eyes were the same exact color as the sky above them, and he wore a dark gray suit, from under which peeked out a light blue button-up shirt. He reached out his hand to help Ace up.

"It's alright," he smiled as Ace took the offered hand. Once he was upright again, he looked around.

"…You wouldn't happen to have seen a flying piece of paper anywhere around here, would you?" The man laughed. It was a soft, melodic sound that may or may not have made Ace blush.

"No, sorry." Ace sighed and looked down. Upon noticing their hands were still connected he quickly withdrew his and hid it behind his back.

"Damn it. Can you tell me where the chemistry lab is, then?" He asked carefully, ignoring the heat that was quickly spreading over his cheeks. The blond smiled.

"It's where I'm going right now. I suppose that makes you one of my students. Come with me." The blond started walking in the direction of a small building that looked to have a few windows too many. "You can call me Marco."

"Ace," he replied, following after him.

When his teacher directed that warm smile at him again, he knew he was irrevocably fucked.
