Hello everyone. Here is an another one shot. This time an event that went different.
In chapter 17 The New Year, after Ace and Marco had their fun, what if Marco didn't fall asleep.
This was a request, hope you enjoy
Read and relax
Ace could see Marco closing his eyes, taking some deep breaths, completely catching his breath. Ace liked the small hold he had on his finger. Ace was never the one to fond of touch and was glad when Marco understood this. Ace had no issues with having sex, just as long as he didn't have to lie on his back with someone over him, that was always something that made him feel trapped. Marco had seemed shocked when he had turned them over, but went with it, even seeming to really like the idea and image of him on top. Ace moved his body a bit away from Marco and made it so he laid on his side, facing the other male. Ace still didn't like to lie on his back.
When he moved, Marco had tightened his finger around his, as if not wanting him to leave. But when he had stopped moving, now being in a more comfortable position, the hold relaxed. As he was now more comfortable, Ace closed his eyes for a bit himself, catching his breath completely and trying to relax his body. He was tense and could feel it. He was never used to be this close to others, but he did like it, just not something he was used to do. Ace wouldn't like it for long period of time, but he could do for now. It was nice.
As Ace had his eyes closed for a second, he felt a hand tentatively come to touch his chest, tracing a scar carefully.
Ace opened his eyes to see Marco looking at where his hand was tracing the, this one being rather large, starting at his collar bone and ending just above his upper abdomen. Ace had managed to momentary forgotten about them, forgotten it often shocked those who saw. He could see Marco becoming shocked when he saw, the reason he had automatically gone to kiss him again, not wanting Marco to stop. He had gotten used to them, but never went without his shirt or showed them, knowing most never liked to see someone in scars. He knew he had much more than normal people, both from accidents in training and flukes from his work. Assassin was often kept alive and tortured for information, which left a lot of scars.
Marco had a small woeful expression as he traced the scar, the touch soft and careful, as if scared to cause more harm. When the fingers reached the end of the scar, it stopped. When the hand lingered there, Ace moved his hand and took Marco's in his, taking it off his chest. Ace was at peace with them, but he didn't like it too much when someone touched them to long. Most of them did hold bad memories. Marco shifted his hand to hold around it, ¨Ace, you...¨ Marco trailed off, not sure what to say. Ace gave a small nod. ¨I know. But it's fine, really. I know I have a lot, all assassins do. I will most likely get more, but it's fine.¨
Marco gave a nod, still looking at Ace with the woeful look. Ace gave a small smile, ¨Don't worry so much.¨ When Marco looked at him, he moved his hand from his grasp, placing it on his cheek before he leaned in, giving a soft kiss. When he leaned back, he gave a smile to Ace. ¨I'll always worry, yoi.¨ Ace gave a small nod. He wasn't used to people being concerned and worried for him, not like this. When the hand on his cheek stayed, Ace moved his hand to it, slowly holding around it and moving it away. It was a bit to much, Ace thought the still small hold on the finger was enough right now. Marco seemed to understand as he nodded, letting his hand rest on the bed.
It was then Ace felt Dust say he was on his way with a request. Ace looked at Marco, who seemed to be glad, but also tired. Ace slowly brought his hand to Marco's face, gently stroking and caressing the cheek. When Marco leaned into the touch, closing his eyes, Ace continued to caress different spots, Marco seeming to enjoy the small touch as he relaxed. It made Ace give a smile, seeing the first commander relaxing. Ace knew the male also had issues with sleeping. Not as much as he, seeing as Marco usually did sleep every night, but he slept little.
Ace continued with the light touches until Marco's breath evened out and slowed down.
When it had, Ace's hand stopped in his cheek. When Marco made no movement, laying still and giving even breaths, Ace was sure he was asleep. Ace then leaned in, giving a kiss to the sleeping man. Even in his sleep, Marco somewhat returned the kiss. When Ace leaned back, he smiled at the sleeping male. Marco looked really relaxed. Ace slowly unwind their fingers and took his hand of Marco's cheek. When he did, Marco made a sound, hand twitching. Ace shook his head as he leaned a bit closer, ¨Sleep. I'll see you later.¨ Marco gave a soft sound at that and Ace moved out of the bed carefully, not wanting to wake the sleeping commander. When he was up, he quickly dressed and looked at the dagger. It was beautiful. Ace sent a last look at Marco before he left, having a smile.
It had been a good night.
And that's the chapter, hope you enjoyed.
I know it maybe was a bit boring, not to much happening. But it was some small cute fluff between Marco and Ace. Can't get enough of that.
