Peter blinked awake for the second time that day. His head shifted to the side and stared at Ace, who was holding Peter's hand and snuggling up to his body. Peter sweat dropped and sighed. He tried to roll over and get off the bed, but that caused Ace's sleeping form to pull Peter's back against his chest and snuggled the back of Peter's head.
Peter lay there, not knowing what to do. He felt Ace snuggle closer to his body, causing Peter to blush.
'Get a grip on yourself.' Peter thought. 'It's just some weird spell making him 'love' me. It isn't like he would ever do this if his own free will.' His thoughts made him slightly sad. 'Is this the only way you can get someone to love you? From some stupid spell?' His heart started to beat faster at the thought.
Ace began to stir from his place behind Peter. His eyes fluttered open and he looked down at the new position Peter's body was in. He smiled and nuzzled Peter's hair again. Peter stiffened slightly.
"We're going to get in deep shit for not getting to work on time." Peter said with slight irritation.
"Oh, you're awake~" Ace said and cuddled closer. "It's fine. I don't think anyone will mind."
"What makes you say that?" Peter said, his head turning slightly to look at Ace's face.
"The Queen is sick from a cold and is still resting. So she's only ordering the servants around today." He smiled.
Peter's rabbit ear twitched. "So does that mean you're going to cuddle me all day?"
"Unfortunately no, I have to go help Julius. You can come with me if you want." He smiled enthusiastically.
"No thanks. I have my own work to do today." His smile was one of relief.
"Aw." Ace started to pout again and snuggled Peter again.
Peter's ear twitched again and he shifted, trying to move away so he could get on fresh clothes and leave the others presence. He squirmed and Ace finally let him go, pouting lightly. Peter sat up and shifted to the edge of the bed and got off. He stood up and moved to his closet and pulled out a fresh new suit to put on. He started to strip his other suit off when he felt a pair of eyes staring at him.
He turned his head slowly toward the only other person that was in the room. Peter's ear twitched in annoyance as he saw Ace's smiling face staring at him.
'Is he seriously watching me undress?' Peter asked himself in his head. 'Is he that much of a fucking creeper?'
"What are you staring at?" Peter asked him while taking his jacket and shirt off.
Ace just smiled bigger and shook his head, shrugging slightly.
Peter gave him a skeptic look before taking his pants off and throwing his dirty clothes into a basket.
Ace's eye lit up and he jumped off the bed and took three huge strides over to the other. "Peter, can I ask a question?" He smiled innocently.
"I don't know, can you?" Peter looked at him, feeling a tad bit embarrassed to be standing in front of the other with only red boxers on.
Ace seemed to be thinking really hard. "Um…I think I can ask a question…" He seemed to be a little distraught from his thinking.
"May I?" Peter rolled his eyes slightly.
"Huh?" Ace questioned, eyes wide.
"It's 'May I ask a question?'. Asking if you can ask a question suggests that you are not capable of asking a question." Peter said, poking Ace in the forehead.
"Oh…you're so smart Peter." Ace smiled like a child.
"Thanks." Peter shrugged slightly.
"Okay, so, may I ask you a question?" Asked Ace, giving Peter puppy dog eyes.
"Sure, go ahead." Peter said.
Ace made a grab for Peter's boxer's, "Does your carpet match your drapes?" He asked with a small laugh.
Peter smacked his hand away from his boxers, a bright red blush supporting his cheeks. "You fucking pervert!" Peter glared at Ace, who was smiling big.
Peter tried to move away from Ace, but the other wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him against his chest. Peter looked back at the other, not appreciating his backside being pressed against the others crotch.
"Aw. I'm just curious." Ace said and lightly slipped his hand into Peters boxers and gently ran his finger's through the small patch of white pubic hair. "Wow. your pub's are really soft. Almost as soft as your rabbit fur." He gave a small laugh as he started to rub him gently.
Peter moaned softly. "You fucking pervert. Stop touching me." Peter shifted and tried to move away from the smiling pervert.
Ace's hold on Peter's waist tightened slightly and his rubbing became more hard and erotic. Peter moaned/growled and elbowed Ace in the ribs, causing him to stagger backward and rub the spot Peter elbowed him. Ace blinked and tilted his head in a confused fashion.
"You…fucking…pervert. Get. Out. Of. My. Room." He death glared at Ace, ready to smack him across the face.
Ace smiled. "Okay. I'll see you later Peter." He gave a slight wave and walked out of the room, leaving Peter half aroused and very, very angry.
"He's lucky I promised Alice not to hurt anyone." Peter said with a huff and started to get his pants on. Once he was fully dressed again, he gathered up the paperwork he had to go file away and headed to the door. His hand landed on the door knob, then stopped. He stood there, his newly found heart starting to pound really hard against his chest. Many thoughts started to form in his head.
'Would they be able to hear my heart?'
'What will happen if they find out?'
'Did Ace tell anyone about my heart?'
Too many thoughts ran through his head as he started to turn the knob to the door. He opened it and stepped out into the hallway, closing the door behind him. He started to walk down the hallway, trying to act as normal as possible. He smiled at a few servants passing by and said the occasional 'hi' or 'hello', or even 'good afternoon'.
He arrived at the queen's study and opened the door, fining the queen sitting at her desk, reading some book on flowers. He closed the door behind him and walked over to the Queen of hearts. She didn't look up, so Peter decided to clear his throat to get her attention.
"Ah, White. What is it?" She asked, setting her book down.
"Ah. Yes. Well, I have the paperwork for you to look over." He said, trying to sound like his normal self, but failing due to the questionable look on the queens face.
"Are you alright? You don't look well." She questioned.
"Yeah, I'm ok. Ace kind of molested me a few minutes ago, so…" He gave a slight shrug, as if that's what was bothering him.
"Ah…well that sounds like something Ace would do." The queen also shrugged and held out her hand for the paperwork.
Peter handed her the work. "I thought you had a cold…" He asked, remembering what Ace had said.
"We got over it. Being sick was boring." The queen said, looking over the paperwork.
Peter smiled slightly at the other. He stood there for a good ten minutes. All the while, his heart pounding. He honestly didn't know why his heart was pounding. Could it be he was scared the queen would learn about his heart, and send him to some testing lab? He honestly didn't know why. He just stood there, quiet and still.
"Okay. Everything seems to be in order. Go on and file it." She handed him the stack of papers back and picked her book up once again.
Peter turned on his heel and crossed the room, heading towards the door. He left the queens study and marched across the hall to the filing room. He opened the door to find Ace trying, and failing to file his own little stack of paperwork.
He walked over and started to file his own work, trying to ignore the other if he decided to start talking to him. Ace turned his head and smiled.
"Peter~!" He turned his whole body towards the other and leaped to hug him.
Peter moved to the side, missing the uninvited hug. 'I feel slight dejavu going on…' He thought. 'Is this how I would react whenever I saw Alice…?' He looked over Ace's body, who was starting to sit up and rub the back of his head from the rejected hug. 'No way…I was never that stupid.'
"Peter, you meany. Do you hate me?" Ace looked up at Peter from his sitting position.
Peter looked down at him. "N…no." Peter felt bad. 'Oh god, this really is what I was like…though Ace makes it seem way more childish.' Peter sighed and continued to file his work.
"Really?" Ace smiled and stood up. "That's great." Ace went back to filing his work.
Ace finished way before Peter did, due to the fact he had very little to file in the first place. So he stayed behind and watched Peter file his work, which kind of started to creep Peter out.
"Don't you have work to do?" Peter asked, filing the last of the paperwork.
"Nope. But I'm going to go see Julius later today." Ace said and shifted closer to Peter.
Peter, in return, shifted away. "Then why don't you go see him now. Because knowing you, you'll probably get lost and not get there for a few days." Peter said flatly.
Ace looked hurt. "It isn't my fault I'm directionally challenged…" He looked down and started to walk slowly away.
Peter looked at him. 'The hell am I doing?' He thought to himself. 'I promised Alice to take care of everyone. And hurting Ace's feeling's like that isn't helping.' Peter gave a light sigh. "Wait."
Ace turned toward him slightly.
"If her majesty will give me the day off, I will go with you, so you will not get lost…" He said with a slight blush.
Ace nearly jumped on Peter, but he settled for a hug. "Really? You're so sweet to me." He snuggled the top of Peter's head.
Peter's ear twitched. "Right…" He tried to push the other away gently, but Ace had a tight hold on him and continued to obliviously hug him. Peter breathed through his nose and hugged back lightly, hoping the other will let go if he showed some sign of affection.
Ace let go and smiled enthusiastically at the other. "Let's go ask her majesty." He tugged on Peter's arm and dragged him out of the room and back to the queens study. The queen was still sitting at her desk, though she now was reading a book on roses.
"Your majesty, your majesty~!" Ace practically shouted across the room as he dragged Peter by the arm and over to her working desk.
Vivaldi looked up at the annoying knight of hearts. "What makes you think you are so important that you can interrupt our reading time." She asked, giving him a glare of annoyance.
"Would it be alright if White came with me to run an errand?" He gave the queen a pleading look.
"Will you stop bugging us and leave us alone if we honor your request?" She asked, giving him a slight bored look.
"Yes." Ace smiled.
"Sure, go ahead." She gave a slight wave and went back to her book.
Peter sweat dropped. 'Really? You're just going to let him kidnap me?' He thought.
Ace hopped up and down a few times before grabbing Peter by the arm again and dragging him toward the door. "Thank you your majesty!"
Vivaldi looked at the door as the two disappeared behind it. She smiled to herself. "We wonder what chaos this day will bring after the news gets out of Peter's….transformation." She smiled bigger at the news Ace gave her about Peter's heart. "We will surely have to have a fun time with Peter when he returns."
