Sorry if the chapters seem so short and/or rushed. As I am writing it, I make it up as I go, so I think of something, write it, or rewrite a new idea. It's that the process takes a bit on my end, so while it feels that I've written way much more, I haven't in reality. Thank god this story is in chapters and not a one-shot!
The next day, everyone was going about their normal business, except Lexi and Ace. Lexi was lying on her bed, thinking of yesterday.
I can't believe I kissed him! Although it was only on his cheek, but it was still great. She thought, remembering the moment.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me." She could hear Ace say.
She got up to open the door, and noticed Ace was in his street clothes; dark jeans with a yellow t-shirt with a black jacket.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Well I was just wondering, are you hungry? I was going to go out to grab something to eat, but then I thought you'd like to come."
"Oh, yeah, sure! I could go for something. Just let me change out of my uniform real quick."
Before he could say anything more, she shut the door and headed to her dresser.
"Why aren't you in your suit?" Duck asked, finding Ace standing in front of Lexi's door.
"Oh, me and Lex are gonna go grab a bite."
"You mean a date?"
"Wha-, no! Just gonna grab some lunch with a friend." Ace said, starting to blush.
"Girl-friend." Duck teased.
"We are NOT going on a date, Duck!"
"Then why is your face so red?"
"Why are you even over here?" He said, avoiding the question.
"Probably because my room is over here."
"Then go there already!"
"Okay, fine..." Duck said, walking off.
"...Loverboy."
"DUCK!"
Before he could do anything, Duck quacked away. While the whole debacle was going on, however, Lexi was listening to the whole thing.
Wait, so is this a date? Duck said Ace was blushing when he denied it… no, he said it's just lunch between friends. But there was that kiss yesterday.
She got dressed into black leggings with a pink shirt. She stepped out in the hall to find Ace looking down the hall.
"I'm ready! Um, what are you looking at?"
"Huh, oh, just Duck trying to press my buttons before he quacked away. I hate it when he does that."
"I know the feeling. Anyway, what were you thinking for lunch?"
"Eh, just some pizza. Been a bit since we had some."
"That does sound good, let's go."
They went down to a local pizzeria, and ordered a large pepperoni pizza. They both enjoyed it, and started walking back home.
"That place has some great pizzas." Lexi said.
"Yeah, Slam recommended it. He always gets his there."
"Speaking of which, why did you only ask me? I'm pretty sure the others would go for some."
"Oh, well, I just thought they'd be busy. Duck's always messing with someone else, Tech and Rev have been in the lab a lot lately, and Slam's door was closed this morning, which only means he's still sleeping."
"I guess that makes sense. But is it really because this is a date?"
Ace's face quickly blushed, and his eyes went wide.
"Uhh, what makes you say that?"
"I heard you and Duck outside my door. Honestly, you guys always forget my super-hearing."
"Then you must've heard when I said it was just lunch for us friends."
"And how Duck said your face was red when he said this was a date."
"Well, umm, oh look at that! We're here already."
He was right, they were already there. When the finally got up to the living room, Lexi pressed him with the blushing again.
"So exactly why was your face all red if it wasn't a date?" She asked him.
"It's because, of, umm..."
I can't keep this up. It's now or never Ace! He thought to himself.
"*sigh* Okay, okay. I'll come clean. I was all red because… because it was a date." He said, starting to look away.
Lexi froze up, and started to blush herself.
"R-really?"
"Yeah. Listen, Lex. When we looked at each other after we watched that movie, I felt a spark. That's why my heart sped up, like you said. And then when you kissed my cheek yesterday, it was amazing. But then when we stared at each other again… that's when I knew for sure. Lex... I love you."
By this point, he has his back turned to her, while her face was more scarlet than blonde.
"And I don't blame you if you don't feel the same way."
After a few moments of silence, Ace felt her hand on his shoulder.
"Ace…"
She turned him around and she kissed him. After recovering from the initial shock of it, Ace embraced the kiss. They both savored it, while the kiss lasted only a few seconds, It felt like an eternity for the two.
"I love you too."
They stared into each other's eyes once more, when suddenly…
"YES! REV, TECH! YOU OWE ME 50 DOLLARS!" Duck yelled in victory, fists in the air, while Rev and Tech were digging into their pockets for the cash.
"What the-" Ace said, looking at the trio.
"Here you go, Duck" Tech said, handing him the cash.
Duck happily snatched it out of his hands, and counted the money while Ace and Lexi look on, dumbfounded.
"What is this?" Lexi asked
"Duck won a bet." Tech replied.
"What was this bet?" Ace asked.
"Duck bet that you would hook up in a week while we thought it would take longer."
"And right I was!" Duck said, thumbing the money in front of the coyote.
"You were betting on us? Since when?" Lexi asked.
"When- you- and- Ace- were- in- the- training- room- a- few- days- ago." Rev replied.
"Why were you betting on us?"
"Oh, please. It was so obvious you two like each other, it hurt to watch." Duck answered.
"Well, it didn't hurt to watch, Duck." Tech said.
"Maybe not for you, at least."
"Obvious?" Ace asked.
"Oh please, the way you looked at each other, the way you guys would blush when any of us would mention you two together…"
"'Any- of- us-' being- you- Duck." Rev said.
"-Shut up- and the way you two always end up alone together.
"Like when?"
"The training room, your music, the movie, the kitchen, and Lexi's room." Duck said, counting off each on his fingers.
"Wait, if we were alone, how do you know about that?" Lexi asked.
"Obviously, I had to make sure I was getting my 50 dollars, so I had to check in on you guys."
"Hey, wait a second, if you were making sure we were together, Duck, then why did you trash my room for my music player?"
"Yeah, last I checked, you don't listen to music." Ace agreed.
"*Well, the thing is, I was trying to, uh, look for your diary? Hee hee…"
"Okay, first things first. One, I do not have a diary. Two, the fact you would trash my room to look for it, was a huge mistake. And three, What were you going to do with it?" Lexi said, taking a step closer to Duck each time, until she was close enough to punch him.
"*gulp* Uhh, to try to look for things about Ace so I could hook you two up?"
"Duck?" she said, putting her face inches away from his.
"Y-yes?"
Her eyes started to glow. "Run."
Duck ran down the hall and to his room for safe haven, with Lexi blasting him the entire way.
"Anyway, I think I'm going to try out my new vehicle I was working on, so I am heading down to the garage." Tech said as he walked towards the elevator.
"I- should- probably- go- with- him- in- case- something- goes- wrong." Rev said, following him.
"Guess we're alone. Again. Huh, now that they mentioned it, it does seem we always end up like this."
"Well personally, I don't mind being alone with you." She said walking back toward him.
"Me neither." He said, grabbing her hands.
They gazed into each other's eyes, thinking of the past week's events, before they embraced into a kiss.
Well I hope you liked my first fanfic! I am not sure at this point if I should make a sequel, an M-rated story or what. Let me know what you think if you'd be so kindly to review.
But anyways, this was pretty fun to write, so thanks for reading!
