Hey guys! So I honestly planned to have this chapter out earlier in the week but I am lazy af... So umm it's almost 1am Friday morning and I've decided to write cause why not.

This may or may not get finished right now, if not I will finish it this afternoon, but the moral of this is it will get posted today before I leave for Florida tomorrow.

On another note, should I go through with the contest of having someone write a special chapter for the stories 1 year anniversary? If any of you would participate let me know in the comments please, cause I really wanna do something special for 1 year.

Anyways, I do not own Bakugan or these songs.

Enjoy!

P.S (omg i've never done this couple before)

P.S.S (I don't think)

P.S.S.S (This chapter is gonna be super cliche probably)

Chapter 25

Everytime We Touch

Ace x Mira

At the time a part of her didn't know why she decided to ask such a delinquent to join her team.

At the time they seemed so similar; alone, abandoned, and in need of someone to be with.

At the time she just needed people with her morals, her beliefs, and strength way beyond average.

He gave her that.

However, with him came many snarky remarks, sarcastic comments, and a very very short temper.

He gave her a bit more of that.

Yet Mira couldn't help but feel the affection, and caring nature he showed only to her when they had finally warmed up to each other.

That didn't last long, because when Dan came around, Ace changed. He closed himself off, he became nasty, and jealous. Mira was slightly curious why, it couldn't be over her, Dan had Runo, yet a small part of herself couldn't help but say that it was because of her.

The part that said it was just how good Dan was always won out.

She couldn't fall in love with Ace... could she?

That's what she asked herself day in and day out, when his voice haunted her dreams, and his touch filled her body with warmth when he was no where near her.

At times she felt she was fighting this war as much for Ace as she was to get her brother back, and save the Bakugan.

At times she couldn't imagine her life if she hadn't of asked Ace to join her team, become her friend, become her first love. What would she be doing? How would she be fighting? Would she still be fighting?

Ace was the light in the darkest night that would come and pull her out of her own head, her own demons, and tell her that yes she needed to keep fighting, "because Mira, what would I do without you?"

Then he would wrap his arms around her and hold her close, and she wouldn't even be able to cry because he brought her such warmth, secureness, and safety. He would whisper sweet nothings for hours, until she would fall asleep, left wondering what were they really?

Because in the mornings it was business as usual and Ace was Ace and Mira was Mira and there was no way to change that because neither knew what to say.

They felt the sparks between each other.

They felt each others sadness and happiness.

They helped one another in times of need.

Through this time they had been through it all, the two of them. They knew what the other was saying through glances and sharp motions, and they could see the looks of longing shared between them.

The real issue was: they couldn't find the words.

At night it was easy, they were alone, they were comfortable and calmer. He would wipe her tears and she would wipe his because at times even Ace would break down under all the pressure and stress.

When he first kissed her it was magical, even if it only lasted 2 seconds. Yet right after Ace disappeared into the shadows like he had so many nights before and their days were exactly the same.

All they knew is that they made each other feel the best they could, they felt complete with each other.

But how do you say that to someone?

It was Gus who got them to do something. After it was all said and done, they sat, Ace, Mira, Gus, Keith, and Baron. All five of them and it was Gus who looked Ace straight in the eye and asked him when they had started dating.

What they didn't know is Gus knew they weren't dating.

After a lot of stuttering, blushing, and awkward interruptions, Keith had leaned back, arm thrown around Gus and spoke to them.

"So what are you then?"

And when ice blue met ash green their words almost exactly matched.

"He's my everything."

"She's my everything."

Gus had just chuckled and Baron had mumbled something along the lines of "I knew I was a third wheel the entire time."

Keith however, had started to play with Gus' hair as he spoke. "But what are you two?"

Ace had turned to Mira again, and gave her a warm smile. "Mira, what do you want us to be?"

Everyone had seen the blush that colored her face at that sentence, but surprisingly she kept her composure. "I want us to be our everything. What we've always been. But I want us to be able to tell the entire universe this time, and not hide in the shadows of the night. I want us to be us, Ace and Mira, but I want us to be us together. I want to be able to hold you hand and kiss you in daylight, in front of our friends and family. I want us... And I want us forever."

Ace just leaned in and kissed her, long and slow, and when he pulled back, still close enough for their lips to brush he whispered softly to her, so only she could hear.

"And if that's what you want... Then Mira Clay, forever you will get."

Yayyyyy I did finish it even though I procrastinated for like... all week.

Anyways I hope you guys enjoy this incredibly cliche chapter.

R&R and as always leave suggestions in your reviews!
