Marco is overworked. Ace is gonna fix that

Ace was sitting on the couch like he usually did in the afternoons, he felt utterly useless. Marco has a job and pays all of the bills, so in retrospect that made Ace the housewife. He wasn't very good at it and he knew it. Hell! He couldn't even make dinner so Marco usually had to do all of the cooking, cleaning, and his job on top of all of that. Marco was overworked and Ace knew it so he was going to help a certain stressed pineapple, Looking at the clock seeing it as 5:30, and knowing Marco didn't get home until 6o'clock, Ace picked up the phone, dialed the Baratie and ordered Marco's favorite food it arrived in less than five minutes and he sett it in the fridge. Then headed towards the bathroom to begin preparation, Smirk in place.

'This is gonna be good' He thought to himself as he grabbed some candles and rose petals.

Another long hard day, Marco sighed , there had been some recent issues at work as of late, so as a result he had to work twice as hard to straighten everything out. He was internally glad he had Ace at home; the younger male always greeted him happily, and sometimes intimately (more often than not). He was one of the few people who could actually make the blond forget all of his troubles. Pulling into the drive way, then walking into the house -where he was expecting to be greeted- he was meet with nothing. When he went to search for Ace he found a trail of rose petals leading him towards the bathroom upon entering the site he saw stole his breath away, even after five years. Ace was sitting on the side of the bathtub wearing only a thin gray robe, illuminated by the candles, the steam rising from the bath gave him a slight flush,to Marco it was beautiful all the same.

"Marco get in." He said low and quietly, almost as if he was afraid to speak any louder.

"Ace what is this about?" The elder asked raising his eyebrow, but obeying anyway removing hid clothes, getting into the tub facing away from Ace, as the male let his robe fall from his shoulders,

"I tell you once it is all over, Okay." Ace's voice was still so soft and gentle, as he slipped into the water behind Marco.

"What are you doing, yoi?" Marco asked a little aroused as Ace's naked form was pressed against him.

"Just relax, it's okay." Ace began to rub his soapy hands up and down Marco's back and shoulders, only stopping to give more pressure to an area, when he found a particularly tense muscle. By this time Marco had closed his eyes, soaking in the relaxing atmosphere, he let Ace massage him for a few more minutes when he felt the body behind him shift and stand to get out.

"Wait Ace, where are you going?" Marco said snapping out of his light doze, looking at his young lover, already missing feeling of the younger male behind him.

"Just soak for a little longer, then come meet me in the kitchen." Ace said as he bent down and captured Marco's lips in a slow kiss, filled with love and meaning, before leaving. Shortly after Marco heard the beep of the microwave and then the smell of food came. He was quite hungry so he decided to get out dry off put on a pair of boxers and a pair of long, cloth, blue-plaid night pants, then made his way to the kitchen. Upon arrival he found Ace sitting at a candle lit table in his boxers and black shirt. In front of him sat a plate of takoyaki. The place across from him held Marco's favorite assortment of nigiri.

"Did you cook this?" Marco asked eying the food skeptically.

"I ordered it, sorry." Ace said looking away ashamed he could do such things for the man he loved so.

"It's okay, I can't believe you ordered all of my favorites."

"Of course I would, did you think I'd forget?" Ace asked in mock hurt.

"No." Marco sat down and began to eat. Thar two chatted for a while before Marco got up and went to bed and began to read his favorite book series Rainbow Mist when Ace came back with two mugs of coffee, handing Marco his, placing his an the side table, discarding his shirt and climbing in.

"Please tell me you aren't working."Ace asked scooting underneath the covers wrapping his arms around Marco's waist nuzzling into the elder's side.

"Know I was reading for pleasure" Marco responded closing his book, and reaching over to turn out the light. "So what was up this evening?" Marco asked holding Ace close as he usually did.

"Did you relax?" The raven asked sitting up on his knees, looking at Marco with a look the said ' I will know if you lie to me.'

" Yes, very much so, but why go through so much trouble over making sure I relax?" the blond asked wanting an earnest answer causing Ace to shift nervously.

"You just do so much, and I don't do anything to help." Ace whispered "I can't clean, cook, or hold a job. You just looked so tired and overworked. I-I" Ace was looking directly at Marco now close to tears " am worthless and a burden to you I don't even know why you keep me around. I just wanted to be useful for once." Marco leaned up, and gently brushed a strand of hair out of Ace's face, before pulling him down wrapping both arms around him, kissing his for head. Ace closed his eyes at the action, enjoying the gesture.

' He feels like a burden.' " Ace I appreciate what you did, but it was unnecessary." Ace was now looking at Marco a bewilder expression crossing his face.

"What do you mean?"

"You are not a burden to me. I keep you around because I love you and you return my feelings eagerly and with twice the force." Marco made sure Ace was looking at him, he was a tear slipping from his eyes. Marco knew Ace had confidence issues when Ace told him the reason that he shouldn't love Ace. It was utter bullshit that Ace was told he was worthless. It made Marco want to beat anyone who told him so to a pulp, so he continued making sure to get his point across." What you did today was proof of that. Someone willing to do such things for their partner are hard to find and I love you for it, Understand?" Marco paused waiting for Ace to nod before continuing gently swaying side to side."Do you realize that you brighten the worst of days by greeting me at the door, with a kiss asking how my day went, when I return from work? I actually missed it today, and don't you dare apologize for it."

"Thanks Marco, for not thinking me as worthless." Ace mumbled into Marco's chest.

"Never."

"I love you so much." Ace whispered falling asleep slowly.

"I love you to and will never think of you as a burden." After that last sentence Marco fell asleep unaware of Ace of Ace still being awake.

"Thank you for loving someone as worthless and undeserving as me." He kissed Marco on the lips linking their fingers together, then falling into a deep slumber.

I used a new writing style so I need criticism, and went line crazy.
