Anxiety-
Sure, he was considered the best fighter in Wonderland. Sure, he was confident in his skills. Sure, he knew no one stood a match against him.
Until he met the Lizard, Gray Ringmarc.
The Knight of Hearts, Ace, was known all through Wonderland for his skill with a sword, his expertise on getting lost, and his idiotic attitude. To everyone, Ace was as deep as a piece of paper.
Little did anyone know all the anxiety he kept bottled up, all because of the Lizard.
It wasn't like Gray did it on purpose, but ever since Ace saw him training, all the Knight did was challenge him to a duel. In truth, it was seriously annoying. It always happened when the two were put face to face, like they just were.
"Ace, you idiot, put your sword away! You are going to cut my desk in half!" Gray yelled.
The Knight just laughed. That was when Gray snapped. In a second he had Ace pinned against the wall. Still smiling like a puppy-dog Ace said, "I will never quit challenging you." Ace broke away from Gray and the wall. "I will win no matter what. Every time I see you my emotions get deeper. I don't even understand them, but because of you they're there. So you have to take care of me until they disappear." That was when Ace left.
Gray stood in his office in bewilderment. He shook his head and finally sighed out, "I can't believe Ace is such an idiot as to not know the feeling he has in anxiety because I'm an even better fighter than him."
Sill, there was weird about Ace's words that sent chills down Gray's spine that night as the Lizard tried to go to bed.
I decided to put all the Poll result oneshots into one story instead of having so many individual ones. I hoped you liked Gray/Ace's story and please review!
