Author Note: I'm going to see if I can post two chapters today it depends on how long they take but I'm try…it was actually a tie, but I still love reviews and more and more reviews so keep reviewing for the theme you want…

I love you because you're not afraid of anything

Mira & Ace
-
I watched silently behind the bushes as Mira laughed with her brother, Keith. It wasn't that I didn't like Keith but only how could I trust him. He hadn't proved to me that he was trustworthy at all but everybody seems to trust him. I rubbed my fingers against my temple, how frustrating. I rose from the bush as I saw the two walk away smiling.
At least, Mira was happy, I thought. I could feel myself get more aggravated because it wasn't with me. I went into the weight room of Marucho's house.
"Shun, can you spot me?" I said putting two 45's on each side.
"…Is everything…alright?" Shun asked an eyebrow rose.
"Yea, why?" I said harshly.
"No reason…but you know you can't lift this, right?"
"Maybe you can't but I definitely can," I said cocky with a crooked grin.
Shun only looked at me. "Ace…I'm stronger than you, but whatever…" he said walking around gripping the bar.
"I'm guessing this is about Mira…" he said as I started my first rep. I was moving at a good speed and I was surprise that it was a lot easier than I thought it would be.
"I see I'm stronger than you thought," I said avoiding his question.
"Avoiding the question, hey, I don't care, but jealously can definitely give you an extra burst of stamina or strength," he said matter-of-factly. I could feel my sweat drop. Shun was such a smart ass and I hated when he was right.
"You know she likes Dan?" he said out of nowhere and I dropped the bar. I could feel the breath escape my lips, barely. Shun quickly picked up the bar off my chest. I still couldn't breathe. I sat up and tried to catch my breath. I took in a deep breath as my breathing started to quicken. My hands were on my knees and I looked at the ground.
I didn't even know what to say. I got up and walked away. My hand was on my chest as I could feel my heart beat racing. I sat on the park bench and could feel sadness seep over me nit only because of what Shun said but every person had a significant other, even the bugs.
It was depressing.
"Ace! Ace!" I heard my named called repeatedly but I didn't want to answer because that voice was so familiar.
"Ace, are you alright?" she said running towards me, fear in her eyes. I didn't open my eyes, I only breathed in her scent as the wind blew it my way. She sat down next to me and placed her hand on mine. I could feel my face heat up, I tried to calm myself and my heartbeat. I breathing was still heavy, but I guess she didn't mind.
"Shun told me what happened," she said. Yea, Shun told me too.
"Ace, are you alright? Why won't you talk to me?" I could her choke her words up and that she was really sad and frightened as to why I wouldn't answer her.
I inhaled before I spoke to her.
"I know you like Dan," I said plainly rolling my eyes as I said it.
She smiled at me and chuckled a bit. I only stared at her through narrow eyes wondering what was so funny.
"What's so funny?" I said angrily.
"Are you afraid of a challenge, Ace? I didn't know Ace Grit got scared. I thought you weren't afraid of anything."
"I' not afraid of anything and I obviously it's true because you didn't deny it." I said angrily choking up my words trying to control the tears that were trying to form.
She sat down next to me leaving very little space for air to move. She placed my arm over her shoulder and laid her head on my chest. I wanted to push her away because I was angry with her but I couldn't. I liked it…a lot.
"You know what I'm afraid of Ace?" I only looked down at her as she stared up at the sky.
"I'm sure it has something to do with your brother," I said matter-of-factly.
She twisted in my grip and I could feel her heart beat quicken.
"You. I'm afraid of losing you, Ace because I don't know what I would do with you…" she choked out the words and I could see the tears escaping from her eyes.
"Please don't cry, Mira, I hate to see you cry." I said rubbing her arm, gently. She turned towards me and hugged me.
"S-So does t-this mean y-you don't l-like Dan?" I asked unsure, but I had a urge that still wanted her to say it.
"No, Shun only told you that so you could tell me how you really felt." She said plainly.
I only looked dumbfounded. Shun had set me up, but I guess I really needed it.
"Mira, I guess were both fearless people because we're not afraid of anything—you'll never have to worry about losing me." I said snuggling my head on top of hers.
We sat there forever not wanting the moment to end.
That was one of the reasons I love her because you're not afraid of anything.
