Hi!

So, I received a request from VisitorNo.18, and I tried it to make it not too long. But I might split them to two, as I really want to share a detailed story about Thatch's Lie. I hope you will enjoy reading the first half of the 'Ex-Au'.

Notes: I am not trying to own everything and English isn't my friend. Ace into wide shoulders and handsome men, it's just an impression of mine though.

Enjoy

Sweet and Hot Tale Twenty

Interrogating the Ex: Thatch the liar

Ace was sitting from a bar waiting for his childhood best friend. Drinking from his glass, he was excited about their long time reunion. Taking his phone out from his pocket, he scrolled down to a picture that he kept. It was a picture of him and his childhood crush.

The light blue-haired man has been his friend despite him being the troublemaker and the boy that doesn't trust anyone aside from himself and his family, except for his Father who kept his hatred at the poor old man after the man had left and only comes back home at least once a year.

He secretly admitted to himself though that he fell in love with him before. However, he had already accepted the fact that he will only and always be his Best friend.

As he was busy scrolling down from his gallery pictures, a message from his friend had popped up.

"Where are you? I just got here" he read. He fiddled with his phone for a bit and set it down on the table. Raising his head, looking through the crowds, hoping to see a familiar blue hair lad.

"Oh Ace!" he heard someone call him.

He was about to call his friend's name and turn around. When he was instead greeted by a sleeping looking blond man. Who for now looked surprised.

The man sheepishly smiled at him. His head tilted to the side when he saw Ace gave him a wide smile with raised arms for a hug. Marco let out a chuckle when the freckled man dropped his arms, and placed them near his mouth, now looking surprised as well. 'Cute' He thought to himself.

"Oh, Marco. It's just you." Ace grinned and giggled a little to hide the awkwardness. His cheeks tinted red in embarrassment, as he asked Marco to sit. He felt his heart started to beat fast when Marco moved towards the seat beside him.

Marco pressed his lips thin from Ace's reaction towards him. "Yeah, it's me" he sarcastically repeated and sat beside the raven-haired man. "So, what are you doing here?" He asked curiously with a raised brow.

Ace continued to smile, feeling the butterflies entering his stomach, and wishing he won't stutter as he explained that he will be meeting his childhood friend.

Marco clenched his fist, as he felt a pang in his chest. Knowing full well of Ace's secret crush towards his own best friend. "I see. Then I guess I should make myself scarce before he sees me"

His words made Ace frown and confused, wondering why he looks sad every time he talks about his best friend. He felt his cheeks drop from smiling as he watched Marco excused himself. He followed the older mans' back while looking depressed, unable to call out to him and stay as he waits

A few seconds later though, he felt a tap on his shoulder. Making him turn around, and smile widely upon seeing his friends. Raising his arms, he wrapped them around the other man's neck.

"Deuce I missed you. How Fucking are you dude?" The freckled Lad asked. Making the writer raise a brow and slap his forehead for cursing.

"Doing fine and don't curse. It will ruin your cute face" the man replied with a smile. Hugging Ace back and soon sat down when Ace had let go.

Unknown to them, Marco had seen them interact. Making him frown while clenching his jaw and gripping hard on his glass.

"Marco! Where have you been? Have been waiting here all alo-" a Pompadour hair styled man trailed off, looking at his blond brother glaring at the crowd. With a frown, he slapped his back making the older man spit his drink and glared at his brother.

"Oh come on! We are here to have fun and pick up some girls, and here you are." Thatch sighed, rolling his eyes and looked around where his brother had been glaring. "You should stop glaring and talk to others" he grinned turning his attention back to his brother, while his finger pointing at a familiar face. "Or perhaps that's the reason why you have been glaring?"

Marco felt his face heat a bit, turning his head away from his brother. "Whatever you say"

"But look who's coming?" Thatch grin started to grow wider as he watched the freckled lad's company heading towards him with the lad in tow.

With a raised brow, Marco looked over to where his brother was looking. With wide eyes, looking surprised, he set his glass down and sat properly. Thatch faked a cough, looking entertained as he wiggled his brows at his brother.

"Hi!" The light blue-haired lad greeted. "Come on Deuce, let's go back to our seat" Ace whispered as he tugged his friend's shoulder. Thatch stood up from his seat and greeted back, introducing himself as he shook the other's hand. "And that one is Marco"

"Ohh, so you're the ex-boyfriend?" Deuce grinned, sitting beside the man who was now confused.

"Ex?" he asked curiously at what he meant.

"Nothing!" Ace exclaimed, sweat dropping as he grabbed Deuce in an attempt to make him stand and leave.

Deuce only rolled his eyes, letting his friend struggle as he grabbed for his shoulders. "Well this guy here" he then fisted his hand and pointed a thumb towards Ace. "said that you two used to date, so I'm wondering why you broke up with my friend here."

Marco felt his chin slack, his eyes moved to Ace who was now blushing crimson red. The blond man tilted his head to the side, with a raised brow, he gestured for Ace to explain. But before the lad could explain, his brother spoke up first.

"Now that you mentioned it, we can implore more on that since I was the person who got them together," Thatch added, grinning towards a blushing Ace and a confused Marco.

"Huh? But we-"

Thatch immediately covered his mouth, making his words muffled. Deuce raised a brow, puzzled towards the brothers, watching the brown-haired man whisper to the blond man's ears. After their muffled conversation, Marco glared at the other man. Thatch only chuckled as he sat back down to his chair. Ace then followed suit knowing there's no use avoiding now.

"Well that my friend. As this brother of mine had said, there wasn't a clear understanding of why they broke up. They used to be sweet to each other. But with their scheduled and canceled dates, they decided to cool off for now."

Marco's glare could even be worse if it could, cursing his brother in his head. Ace appalled from what Thatch had said. He then turned his attention to Marco, who was staring angrily at his brothers, his lips pressed together, looking displeased.

Deuce hummed, his chin resting under his chin. Raising a brow towards the blond man. "And pray tell why? Can't you see how cute and adorable Ace is?" he boasted, making Ace open his mouth with eyes wide. Scolding his friend to stop and ask to transfer to another table. Declaring he felt uncomfortable at the situation. His friend only shrugged his shoulders, as he asked Marco again why he fell in love with Ace.

Ace reprimanded his friend while apologizing towards the Newgates. Turning his attention back to Deuce, asking him to stop repeatedly.

Thatch face was now amused, smiling wickedly at his brother who was glaring daggers at him to shut up. "Well that of course, as you said. Ace is indeed very adorable and cute. Especially the freckles" he exclaimed remembering the exact words Marco told him when he first met Ace.

"Ohh, then mind telling me how they met?"

Thatch was now excited, smiling idiotically as he nodded his head. Walking over towards Duce he situated himself between Ace and the other lad, he then placed an arm across his shoulder. "As for that my friend, I can tell you everything about it as well."

Deuce grinned back, looking at Ace whose very red at the situation. "Well looks like you really know a lot about them"

Feeling proud and excited, he flashed the younger lad a smile. "So it happened like this..."

The final part of the Stalker story will be up in a few hour/s.
