Wardington Fine Arts College
Entry #8:
With a lot of huffing and groaning thrown around the Industrial Design Studio, Ace Grit slouched back in his chair, looking at the prototype resting in front of him. Professor Percival had assigned a prototype for a chair that would help the students at the campus ease and forget about the stress of the final exams coming up. In fact Ace believed that if the chair worked on him, it could work on anyone.
He had spent the last two weeks on designing the damn chair and selecting the best materials for it. Three days had he been stuck at the studio the university offered and now that he looked at the final product he couldn't help but to feel disappointed at the result. It had turned out exactly like he had sketched on his notebook but somehow he didn't feel such fulfillment.
Letting out a frustrated sigh he looked at the monstrosity and tried to see if he could somehow change the design overall, without the need of destroying the whole armrest. Trying to look for some sort of mistake on it, he brushed away his mint green locks and focused on the product. With a frown he threw the sketches at it and tried to think of a way to make a prototype for Professor Percival in just two days.
Sitting down on the floor he picked up one of his pencils and tried to think of something unique and flashing, so the design could stand out. He stared at the blank page for minutes until his phone ringed. He recognized the tune of 'Viva La Vida' by Coldplay and recognized the caller right away. Trying to hide a growing smile, he stood up and picked up his cellphone from his dark blue briefcase.
"Well it's about damn time you report yourself." He said with a smirk growing on his face. Forget what Professor Percival said about a chair making him feel relaxed, just hearing the voice of his crush was enough for him. He heard a humorless laugh and felt his stress go away in a second.
"Very funny Ace. You know I have to make an architecture model for this week" Mira Clay's voice eased his worries. For anyone else, they would've thought the girl was just a boring and dull person but to his perspective she was a completely different thing.
He would never admit out loud for that matter, the only one who knew about his crush from his circle of friends was Baron Leltoy. And so far the purple haired maniac had kept his word and didn't utter a single word or rumor of him liking their redhead friend. After all, Ace was sure that if he said anything he would murder him on the spot.
"Anyways I heard from Baron you been stuck in the Industrial Design Studio for three days? What you're becoming a vampire now?" Ace let out a real chuckle as he listened to her. Damn he was really tempted to leave his stupid chair like it was and just go over to the Faculty of Architecture to just see her.
"Sorry not really a fan of vampires, I'm more into werewolves if you're asking" He joked back as he went to pick up his fallen sketches. He heard Mira chuckle a bit on the other end of the line.
Their friendship had always been like this, ever since they met back in high school. Joking around and playfully shoving the other was their routine, with Baron included of course. After they left high school, Ace had the fortune of finding out that they were going to the same university after all. Though everyone was in different majors, Ace picking up Industrial Design, Mira going for Architecture and Baron choosing Animation, he couldn't feel more relieved.
"Baron's really worried you know. He says that you might end up eating yourself from the stress or something" Ace shook his head at that comment. Leave it always to Baron to find the weirdest things to worry about "But really though Ace, we're still not in finals and you've been stuck in there for-ever! Go out and breathe!"
"I have enough oxygen in here thank you very much" He responded back smugly, as he sat down on a rather comfortable surface "I'm almost done on the project, I promise" He heard her sigh and interrupted her before she spoke up "I just don't feel satisfied with it that's all"
"Ace I know how you feel, but don't shut us out for something like that!" She now sounded like a wife reprimanding her husband. Not that he minded in the least anyway. He really thought that whenever she was mad at him she looked the cutest (though most of the times she looked scary as hell) "Just promise me you'll get proper sleep tonight. I can already sense that you've been eating shit all these days. If I finish the sketch early I'll drop by your place to leave you proper food"
"I promise honey" He knew how much she hated that surname but he couldn't hold back the genuine smile on his lips. Mira huffed on the other line but he continued to laugh. How tempted he was to just be in the same room as her. In that fraction of a second, where all of his stress seemed to vanish, he almost confessed to her through the phone.
Biting back his lip and trying to hide his blush he coughed rather awkwardly onto the phone. He heard her voice asking if he was okay but he ignored it and tried to regain back his composure. Ace had already discussed this with himself. If he ever, by any means or circumstances, came close to confessing his feelings to Mira their friendship would fall apart. He preferred talking with her or just seeing her than not to do so at all.
Baron had scolded him quite well the time he confessed his feelings for the red head. His friend had called him a coward and crybaby (so mature of him) for avoiding his feelings all together. He had assured Ace that Mira felt the same way about him, but that was too good to be true. How could Mira even think of him that way? God would be too merciful to him if that came to be.
But that wasn't the worst of it. No, many at the Faculty of Architecture and at the Department of Industrial Design really believed they were a couple. At first Ace thought that Baron had slipped up but that wasn't the case at all. He had never felt so embarrassed in his life, until a professor of Mira called them a 'cute couple'.
"Are you alright? Did you get sick?" Mira asked over through the phone, worry laced on her voice. Ace straightened out and regained his composure. No thinking about confessing ever again.
"Yeah a chip just got stuck on my throat" He easily lied as he started to analyze his previous sketches. His project had been long forgotten, but he had to keep focused on this if he didn't want to screw up with Mira once again.
"See! It's because you're eating garbage!" The girl huffed angrily again, but Ace only tuned her out. It was that time in their chat where she would started her ramble without stopping. He scanned the sketches over and over. His chair looked pretty enough on the paper and even while he was doing it. But somehow once the project had been finished the design of it didn't please him at all.
"Anyways I have to get back to my own project. You sure you don't want me to drop by?" Mira finally stopped her endless ranting and waited. How tempted Ace was to tell her to come over and talk to each other. But he knew better than anyone how much her grades mattered to her and the importance of every one of her projects.
"Nah don't worry about it, I'll manage." He said with a saddened smile "If I finish earlier I might drop by your faculty though"
"Alright then I'll be waiting Ace" Mira said on a happier tone of voice "See you!"
"Yeah sure, love you" Ace said without thinking and without further ado ended the call. He focused on his sketches again until a thought came back to his mind. What the hell had he just said? He clutched to his cellphone as he looked at it in horror. What in God's name had he just done?!
Ace shoved his cellphone so far in his brief case that he couldn't see it anymore. He began pacing all around the room, his last sentence to Mira on repeat. He had told her he loved her, he had ended their call and he confessed through a fucking phone. Clutching his mint green locks he tried to relax as best as he could but his heart was racing. How can a person fuck up this badly?!
Maybe Mira didn't hear him correctly. Yeah, that must've happened. No way in hell had she actually heard what he said. Or maybe if she did hear it she would think it was in a friendly way. He actually didn't know if that was a good sign or not. He sighed and flopped once again on the comfortable surface. Looking down in curiosity he found that he was actually sitting on his chair.
"For the love of God" He clutched to his hair and released a chuckle. 'Fuck it' he thought as he picked up his things and tagged the chair as his. Without looking back he put on his purple jacket and decided to head on to the Faculty of Architecture. He wasn't sure if he should show up after such a mess over the phone, but he really did want to see her.
Breathing in and out Ace left the Industrial Design Studio and went on his way to meet up with Mira.
Prompt #8: - Imagine person A is hardcore crushing on B, and fantasizes about their relationship so much they often refer to the both of them as a couple and say "I love you" at the end of one of their phone calls accidentally.
HEY GUYS! This chapter came a bit late but well here it is anyways! haha ever since I started writing the one shots I wanted a specific prompt for Mira and Ace because I really liked them together back at the series, but I could never seem to find the right prompt for them. But then I read this one and I was all over the moon, so you could say I really liked this prompt a lot. Also thumbs up for Baron for studying Animation!
Alsoooo for the next chapter it's about Dan and Runo (yay!) so stick around for that one, I'll probably post it sooner than the other stories. As I commented previously, I already have typed out the new rewritten chapter for 'Lost Princess' but I'm still debating about it haha also for those of you who have watched 'Voltron Legendary Defender' I'm writing a story revolving an OC of mine, I don't know if you'd like to check it out or not haha (I need someone to talk about Voltron, my brother hasn't watched season 2 and I'm growing desperate please) Anyways hope you liked the new prompt and leave a review or PM with a request or any kind of comment! Have a nice week!
PS. All of the prompts I found were on Tumblr and I don't own any of them, neither any of the characters in the story! Also if you want to send me a prompt, feel free to do so!
