Ace traces his fingers along the tattoo on Marco’s chest, feeling the surge of something, not quite a heartbeat, under his skin. It’s comforting, the ebb and flow of it to remind himself that Marco would wake up again soon.
“Distracted,” Marco mutters as Ace feels it surge again. “You didn’t sleep, did you?”
“You’re distracting, that’s your fault,” Ace counters smiling softly. “I wasn’t tired, apparently my kind don’t have to sleep often. Pops found some books for me to look over, I read them while you were passed out.”
Marco snorts, “Not everyone can stay awake when the sun’s out. Did anything happen while I was asleep? Other than you suddenly turning into a scholar?”
“I made french toast and made Thatch cry because I forgot the vanilla again,” Ace grin conspiratorially. “I didn’t tell him that it was a recipe that didn’t need vanilla. It was delicious and he made me by more bread because I ate a loaf all by myself.”
“You had a fun time then,” Marco yawns. “How did you find us, I thought you were off running away from some general?”
Ace hums, “I was. Garp is persistent, but after five years he got called back to lead some kind of attack against Hell. Which I didn’t sign up for, just because I’m an angel doesn’t mean that I want to follow their philosophies.”
“Yeah, you’re a little too free thinking aren’t you?” Marco raises an eyebrow. “Having fun?”
“You don’t have a heartbeat,” Ace states like they hadn’t known that for the last two centuries. “But I’m older now, I can feel something. It’s weird, not bad, but I like it. It means that you’re still here.”
Marco shakes his head, “Sappy, Ace.”
“You’re being mean! I leave for a decade and my husband is being mean to me the day after I come home!” Ace pouts dramatically. “You didn’t miss me?”
“I always miss you when you or I take off for a few years,” Marco states leaning up to kiss the tip of Ace’s nose. “But you’ll always come back.”
“Sappy, Marco.”
“Turning my own words against me, you horrid angel. Come on, I need to eat tonight and that means tracking someone down. Could show you around the city while I’m at it?”
Ace laughs, “It has been a couple decades since we lived here. I don’t know why you picked here while I was gone.”
“Because, this house is your favorite and I thought you might like to come home to it.”
“Sappy!” Ace laughs rolling to the edge of the bed. “Hurry up, I wanna see the sights!”
