he was never a big sweets guy .. but maybe it was a weird sentimental part of him that made him buy a tart, one that he definitely did not have the heart to eat more than one slice of . not when he thought about his friends enjoy it, one of them taking pictures…
ew . he was being sentimental .
oh . there was that short guy .
" hey ! you like sweets ? you seem like the guy . " // @zenobomber
Oh great. It was the kid who made fun of him for at least five minutes straight last time they ran into each other. Or, more accurately, when the kid ran into him.
...well, at least it sounded like he was going to play nice this time around. Unless it was just a prank but --
"Yeah, I like sweets. You'd be crazy not to! Why?"
okay. the attitude was to be expected considering the first time they met. it wasn’t as if ace had been the nicest guy back then but it’s okay! he’s changed. totally. definitely.
..okay, not really but who cares? it didn’t matter that the short guy was giving him attitude as long as he took the tart from him. as long as this loneliness in him subsided.
“ do you like tarts? i got a lot left over of this one and i realllyyyyy don’t want it all that much. ”
heartsnare:
what can he say ? he’s observant !
also he could tell by the fact of how he was reacting . the guy surely wasn’t super old but also wasn’t near his age because he could still have a growth spurt.
“ sixteen . yeah . that one is me . unless you count birthdays here… ”
“Weird, how this all works.”
Honestly anything more than one birthday was a pain - but he guessed he didn’t have much room to argue there, given he had showed up here just before his birthday…but by this point, two had come and gone.
“We’ll just stick to not counting them here, maybe. But that’s not really the point of all this! You should really watch where you’re going. There’s some scary guys here.”
“ if you want to count here i’m … ”
he thinks for a moment before a shocked look crosses his face. oh god.“
i’m eighteen?! augh ! this sucks man! i was trying to graduate from nightraven not from random isekai place!! ”
ah. wait. he said something else to him.
“ huuuh ? i have handled plenty of scary people! i’d be fine unlike you, shorty! ”
" hey ! you ! "
what a proper and nice way to call out to someone . you . clearly ace was the peak of politeness . jogging over , he wraps his arms around the other boy's shoulder , pulling him a bit closer .
" sooo … i need someone to play basketball with . and you look like a capable guy . what do you say ? " // @rad-weekend

“ you’re totally mad ~ ”
sorry but he is definitely snickering a bit . he can’t help it ! the guy’s reaction was just wayyyyy too funny ! for someone who was ‘not mad’ he sure had a twitching eyebrow .
“ nah . you’re like what … 25 ? ”
…this kid actually guessed his age right?
“Uh. Yeah. I mean, unless you’re counting the birthdays I’ve had while stuck in this place. Then ‘m a little older but still around that.”
Geez. Nobody ever guessed that right. They always went way under, even when they went to correct themselves after he told them they were wrong. But he got it immediately correct.
“And you’re definitely like fifteen or sixteen yourself.”
what can he say ? he's observant !

Deuce knew that birthdays probably weren’t that big of a deal.
Back home, the most he would do with his mom was have some special meals, maybe open a gift or two. If she had to work earlier in the day, they’d spend her time between deliveries on the phone with each other and then the evening would be just for them. If she managed to get the day off, they’d go find something to do.
At least, that’s how it had been before he messed everything up. And for the birthday he had between when he cleaned up his act, and got accepted to Night Raven.
It was a little different here. Felt like a bigger deal. Because here, it was his third birthday away from home. From his mother, and most of his friends.
Because here he was turning nineteen now, and he had been sixteen when he first arrived. He didn’t feel that different all things considered, but three years had certainly gone by since he first arrived…
It had honestly lead to a somewhat restless night, thinking everything over before he was woken up by Ace speaking…and sitting right by the side of his bed.
“A-Ace! Why…” He sits up, rubbing his eyes to try and clear his vision up from sleep. “…were you just waiting there for me to wake up?”
heh... he was so cute while asleep . he couldn’t help just propping his head up with his hand , watching him rest . was this weird ? maybe !! just a little .. but he just really , really liked the guy .
he wouldn’t have kissed him a year ago if he didn’t after all . and it went better than expected !! so he’s been winning for the last 365 days .
“ of course i was ! it’s your birthday ~ . so i wanted to be the first to say it ! ”

“You just admitted it by saying that…”
God what a brat. He wasn’t even that short! He was only a little bit shorter than average height. And how hard was it anyways to just apologize for running into someone!? Whatever. He was obviously just digging for a reaction.
“I’m not mad. And I’m probably not that much older than you anyways!”
“ you’re totally mad ~ ”
sorry but he is definitely snickering a bit . he can’t help it ! the guy’s reaction was just wayyyyy too funny ! for someone who was ‘not mad’ he sure had a twitching eyebrow .
“ nah . you’re like what ... 25 ? ”
okay . so it’s been a year since this whole ‘trying out dating’ thing and they were still going strong ... he thinks ? yeah . well it’s not like deuce told him anything different ... oh well ! whatever ! didn’t matter ! what did matter was that it was deuce’s birthday and ace has absolutely no idea how top last year . but he was going to try !
which first meant he was sneaking into his room and sitting on the floor next to the bed waiting for him to wake up . which was taking a long ass time ...
“ hey . dude . you ever gonna wake up ? ” or maybe ace was just early . who knew !

“Nahaha! Sure, I guess. But I’m not an angel.~”
No wonder humans relied on computers so much! Did the memory logs in their brains just not work properly? Maybe this one was a special human who was bad at this stuff. He didn’t know, or care, really.
He didn’t care for humanity the same way Goyou did.
“So I get to act however I want! And that includes pointing out how silly it is you forgot something that fast.”
“ oh . so you’re a cosplayer . ”
which was kind of stupid considering nothing was happening right now and also he had no idea what the hell this guy could be cosplaying . but ! whatever , right ? it’s fine !
“ well now you keep talking about shit i’m gonna keep forgetting . not important enough to keep in my brain you know ? ”
love-shutdown
Wow. He knew humans were kinda dumb, but this took the cake.
All he had asked was a simple question! He wanted to buy a laptop and figured asking someone directions could be a good way to hear more of how people talked but…honestly the way this was going, the GPS on his phone would probably be more helpful.
“I asked where a computer store was! If you don’t know what I’m asking with that, then you don’t have to show me the way, y’know.”
“But I’d be surprised you don’t know that much!”
“ i know where the computer store is!! i just forgot what you fuckin’ said ... geez... ”
tiny angel guy sure got annoyed pretty fast. and sure did have a mouth on him! was that allowed? he was sure angels were supposed to be nice creatures who had patience, not impatient children.
“ aren’t angels supposed to be like ... kind and loving? woke up on the wrong side of the bed? ”

Short.
This kid had some nerve…! He was probably only a dozen or so centimeters taller than him and he was calling him short!? And it was totally because he wasn’t paying attention, not because of his height…!
“You’re not that much taller than me! Don’t act like it’s because you weren’t paying attention to where you were going!”
he laughs a bit at his reaction. he can’t help it! the guy was freaking out about some kid calling him short. which, based on his reaction, meant he was probably older than him. which meant his next comment was warranted.
“haha! you know, i probably would have just admitted i wasn’t looking if you didn’t make me realize you’re mad about that comment. you’re probably like waaay older than me! i’m just a kid, i can still grow~”
“ oh shit - sorry ! didn’t see ya . ”
a nervous laugh falls from him when he runs into the other . he was on the way to try to get a surprise gift for someone , but he guess love is blinding because he really should have seen this guy . .. wait . that’s not how the saying goes . love is blind . that’s it .
oh whatever .
either way , he didn’t seem him ! which was weird but -
“ oh ! it’s because you’re short . ” a+ thinking outloud , ace .
@zenobomber
“ look dude , i don’t know what you’re talking about ... ”
he has been here for ... a year now ? the last thing he should be confused about is some guy with angel wings asking him a question . he doesn’t know what his problem was in the first place . something about needing directions ? maybe ? he completely forgot the more he thought about how he shouldn’t be weirded about by a little angel guy . “ uhh ... what were you looking for again ? some kind of store ? i know where most are - ”

Call him curious, when Ace is the one asking him for help. He knew how the other had been, and couldn’t help but wonder what would make him ask him of all people for some assistance. Who was he to turn his favorite freshie down? What kind of upperclassman would he be? … Actually, a normal one considering the people at NRC but nevertheless. He’d be good here, and help.
“Sure, What’s up Acey, whatcha need?”
“ well . you’re like the social media expert and stuff so ... ”
ugh . this was embarrassing .... waaaay too embarrassing !! but he would spit it out .
“ i don’t know how much you’ve looked into the social media accounts here . but , if you have - do know any good ones that show off nice food places . and ones that aren’t lying to get paid ! i want to take deuce out soon and i need ideas ... ”

Honestly, he was glad he had been here at least a few times before. And…well, that he had shown up earlier in the day to actually customize his avatar beyond the white shirt and grey sweatpants he had been thrown in.
If this was a date…even if it was in a virtual world and they were just doing something nice, he had to dress up, right? Well…dressing up as appropriately as he should for racing. Which was really just a letterman jacket, the same white shirt he had been given at the start, a pair of ripped jeans, and some comfortable sneakers. Oh, and he opted not to paint the spade on his face for his avatar. Probably for the best especially if they were able to hit the speeds he was hoping to.
It seemed like they’d be making themselves uniforms for racing, but it was nice for if they wanted to do something afterwards. If they decided to just hang around in this virtual world for whatever reason. Maybe it’d be fun? And if Idia ever showed up, it gave Deuce something to show him. He did consider the upperclassman a friend after all…
Ah, that wasn’t important right now, though.
“Well, right. Like you said it’s a date so…let’s build something together. I can drive for us if you want, since I know how to drive anyways! …sort of. A car shouldn’t be too much harder than a bike…”
“ a car is very different than a bike . ”
well , okay . racing was definitely something deuce would like and ace knew that . but also maybe he shouldn’t have done this ... he has seen how fast deuce goes on his bike .
but .. that also gave them a good chance at winning . right ?
“ actually . okay , fine . mister speed demon can help us win then . just please don’t send me flying ... ”
he does let a smile form though , nudging him with his elbow just to show he was messing with him . and -- oh god . this was a date . right . he said it . it’s a date . okay , he will act cool then and very cool-y and not in any cringe way take one of deuce’s hands in his own . they have two hands ! they don’t need them both for building it . right ?
“ okay . the sick heartslabyul machine ... hm ... well i don’t really know about any of thise . so i hope you do . ”
