Little moments
Based off of Brad Paisley's song
First Time
"Ok I have all the stuff for dinner. All that's left is the clock parts; let's see where the clock shop is." Just as Alice said this, there it was right in front of her. As she walked in the store she didn't notice a blood red knight watching her. "Good night Miss Alice, see you next time." the old face less man behind the counter said.
"Good night." She said as she started her walk home. As she was going home her mind was filled with so much that she got lost in the forest. "Why me?" she asked to no one in particular when all of a sudden she heard a trig snap behind her. She dropped the bags, all but the bag of clock parts that were in her pocket, and turned quickly with her eyes closed and her fists hitting the broad chest of what she presumed to be her attacker. "Oww, stop Alice that hurts."
"Ace, is that you?"She said pecking her eyes open looking up at the always grinning knight. "Who else would it be besides me?" he said his hands on her arms not letting her get away, as she listed those who it might be her expression than showed one of 'really!?' "Oh, if you have that many guys after you, then I'll be your lover and kill all of them who want you." He said like a proud child who just learned to write his name. "No!" she said with a blank expression "I don't have time for this, I have to get back to Julius." She said as she finally escaped his grasp but the moment she said Julius's name Ace snapped grabbed her arm to pulling her back in his arms. The moment he grabbed her arm she lost her balance the clock pieces falling out of her pocket, the bag braking as it fell on the ground. "****" then that 4 letter word slipped out of her mouth making both her and ace freeze in their places, as Alice's face became 10 shades of red as she covered her mouth. It took a minute for Ace to speak up and when he did she wanted to kill him. "haha, I can't believe that just came out of your pretty little month. Haha, You're so cute, Alice." He said as he lifted her chin up and his lips touched hers.
"Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
That pretty mouth say that dirty word
And I can't even remember now what she backed my truck into
But she covered her mouth and her face got red
And she just looked so darn cute
That I couldn't even act like I was mad
Yeah I live for little moments like that"
Burnt Pies
"Alice~ is it done, yet?"Ace wined as he lifted his head from his folded arms to look at Alice in her cute little castle of Hearts maid uniform. "Stop complaining. It'll be done soon." Alice said while whipping the mixture for the next pie. At this response Ace straitened up crossed his arms and made the most childish pout she had ever seen and opened his mouth to wine again "But I want to go on a trip with you" at this Alice slapped her head 'of course he did, how did I not see that coming.' "A "trip" with you will become a five day advancer and I'm not doing that again. Find something else to occupy your time…like doing your job." In the blink of an eye Ace had her hands pined above her head and the mixture she was stirring all over her and the kitchen. "Ace! What do you thank your doing!?" she asked as she looked up at him and his eyes telling her everything she needed to know, It's sexual harassment time! "Isn't it obvious, I'm occupying my time" His lips traveled to her ear and after an all too seductive chuckle he spoke again "Wont you help me pass some time?" than without waiting for a answer his mouth was on her neck licking and kissing ever inch of exposed skin "Ace, stop! Please stop, I…I feel really, really hot." She said face flushed and eyes closed and to this he could not help but laugh "That's the point, Alice. It'd be no fun if I was the only one who was hot." And she snapped "XXX it Ace!" Alice yelled at the top of her lungs, eyes flying open and seeing ace's very seductive face…and smoke. "Smoke!?"
"You're finally seeing how good I look, I am pretty hot."
"Not you! My pie's burning!" knocking Ace over she was barely able to take the pie out before it exploded but it was not salvageable. "My pie." Alice looked down on what was recognizable as coal and tears at the corner of her eyes. Ace could not help the smile that spread on his lips as he embraced her or the shaking of poorly suppressed laughter. In not even a minute she heard him hysterically laughing. "Are you laughing you, jerk!" that was it is picked up one of the dish towels and throw it hitting him on the face and as he throw it back at her he could not help but to grab and kiss the know smiling girl he loves.
In Ace's pocket there is a book Alice must never know about *How to trick, seduce, and get Alice by Nightmare, Blood, and Boris.*
"Well that's just like this last year on my birthday
She lost all track of time and burnt the cake
And every smoke detector in the house was goin' off
And she was just about to cry until I took her in my arms
And I tried not to let her see me laugh
Yeah I live for little moments like that"
Perfect
It was currently noon or, well at least the time period was and our favorite psycho knight and outsider are lost in the forest…again. They had been on there way back to the clock tower when Ace had taken what he called a "Short Cut", that was three hours and five miles ago. Finally, Alice had finally convinced him to let her lead a hour age.
"You're lost, aren't you, Alice." Ace said with a full blown grin in his voice and on his face as he laughs at the young lady's flustered expression. "I am not loss; I just need to find my baring. Now come on, I'm sure it's this way…or was it that way?" She said going back and forth pointing and looking in one direction than the other. "HAHAHAHAHA…and you were, complaining about my sense of direction." Ace choked out in-between his breathless laughing at the spectacle in front of him. As he held on to his side with one hand and a tree with the other (trying in vain to stop his laughter) he could not help but notice Alice's cute blushing face as she held herself and looked away with shame and embarrassment.
"Let's go this way!" Alice said pointing north and turning around to see Ace trailing to the west. "Huh!?" He said turning around to face her "were you saying something?"
"Yeah you idiot, I said this way!" She said pulling him in the other direction by the sleeve. "Alice?" he asked whining at her as she dragged him off. "Stay with me, I don't want to get lost in the woods at night by myself."
"Aww you lllloveee me!" Ace said grabbing her by the waist, pick her up and spin her around in his arms. "Dam it Ace! I never said I loved you." She said looking away with a bright red on her face as she tried to pushed and shove him away. "Aww, Alice that hurt! Besides you know you love me, but we have all the time in this world for me to make you emit it." Ace said with a smile on as his put her down and took her hand in his and dragged her in some random direction
"*** it Ace, it's the other way! The other way!" Alice yelled as she tried to drag the wayward knight opposed of the way that he is dead set on going. "I'm sure it's this way, Alice. Trust me I'm a knight." Ace said as he did his classic grin and thumb pointed at himself. "*** it!" Alice mumbled to herself as she was dragged away.
(6 hours latter: The Clover tower)
"Ace, why are you grinning like an idiot?" Julius asked as he looked at the late knight with a blank expression. "hehehe, I got to hold Alice's hand." He said with his grin bigger than ever and his right hand held up as if it was evidence to the fact.
"I know she's not perfect but she tries so hard for me
And I thank god that she isn't 'cause how boring would that be
It's the little imperfections it's the sudden change in plans
When she misreads the directions and we're lost but holdin' hands
Yeah I live for little moments like that"
Steals my Clock
(Heart Castle)
Only three sounds were heard in Alice's room that nigh; that of Alice's relaxed heart and her light breathing, the third was that of her lover's clock. Her head lay on top of the firm chest that protected what she thought as a precious treasure, they lay on the small sofa in the corner of her room, his left arm around her and his right arm stuck under her back as she lay on his shoulder. She had fallen asleep sometime in the middle of him explaining how he was late because a lion from Joker's circus escaped and chased him half way across Wonderland.
That had been an hour ago and Ace's right arm has fallen asleep, the tingling and numbness he could deal with but when Alice moving in her sleep he thought he was going to go insane…er. This way and that way she moved trying to get closer to him even in unconsciousness causing sharp pains to shoot all the way throw out his arm over and over again.
He thought for a second that he might wake her up to move to the bed and maybe have some fun before going to sleep, but the moment he saw her angelic face the thought left his mind, well the waking and moving part. Her hair hung in her face no ribbon to hold it back this time casing her to look more her age and less like a child; her soft plumb pink lips separated letting cute, soft, little snores escape, her chest rising and falling with each one.
Every time he moved his arm even slightly she would let out stranded moans and sighs, a slight blush adorned her face and her breathing picked up as he moved his hands lower. Ace let out a soft chuckle when he heard her softly whisper his name; he easily picked her up in his arms so he could carry her to the bed. walking effortlessly to the red California king sized bed he gently laid her down one the right side, the top sheet pulled back as he untied and took off her red shoes placing them under the bed silently as to not wake her.
And as he removed her socks, looking up at the woman who was beginning to stir he couldn't help but think 'I'm in love with a criminal.' About how, even with everyone's love this outsider would still be hunted by Joker; how she would refuse to kill him, how he will lock her up never to be seen by anyone but Joker ever again. That he had fallen in love with a woman that, if she did escape would end up on his kill list, 'Maybe…it would be easier just to kill her now, before her death takes my life with it.'
"MM, Ace?" she asked waking up her hand in fists as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. It only took her a second to blush when she saw his hands resting on her knees, meeting his eyes subconsciously bit her bottom lip as her eyes sifted to his lips. That's when he realized it was already too late, if she died even by his hand he would lose his life with hers…and he would have it no other way.
"When she's layin' on my shoulder on the sofa in the dark
And about the time she falls asleep so does my right arm
And I want so bad to move it 'cause it's tinglin' and it's numb
But she looks so much like an angel that I don't wanna wake her up
Yeah I live for little moments
When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it
Yeah I live for little moments like that"
