Waking up (Ace Copular x reader)

(Note: reader's gender is not specified)

Mornings were always cold no matter the season, with snuggling deeper into the blankets being the only way to find some sort of heat, but lately, every time you open your eyes, instead of being greeted with the cold air or the cold sheets, you were greeted with a warmth enveloping your whole body, it was an odd feeling in the first few days, but now-- you couldn't imagine waking up without it, without him.

Even just seeing Ace's sleeping face was enough to put you at ease, how all of this got this far, you weren't sure, but you wouldn't have it any other way. Without another thought, you snuggled closer and closer into his embrace, not caring about sleep, simply just enjoying this quiet moment.

But the loud beeps of the alarm clock begin to blare in your ears, incessantly screaming for you to leave Ace's embrace and start the day. Breathing a sigh, you reached out and pressed the silent button before sitting up.

At least, you tried to.

No matter how much you lift your upper body, Ace's arms always pulls you back, holding you closer with each attempt.

"Ace?" you whispered.

He gave a low hum.

"We need to get up,"

In response, he rested his chin on your head, pressing you closer to his chest,  "Ten more minutes..." He grumbled.

You held in your laugh, "Seriously babe, I have a meeting with the band at nine,"

"They can wait... just a little more...".

Looks like he won't be letting up anytime soon, as tempting it is to just go back and rest, it's just unfair to keep them waiting, especially since they were so graceful for letting you off three times in a row.

"C'mon, It's my turn to make breakfast..."

He doesn't budge.

"Bacon and eggs~?"

To this he perked up, pulling you away just enough to meet your soft and tired gaze, for a moment there was only silence as you have a stare down, with neither giving up the fight, negotiating without using words.

Once a moment has passed, Ace groaned, letting you go as he slowly sat up himself, a tired pout present on his expression.

You quietly laughed, turning his face to give him a quick peck. His pout melted into a smile as he returned the kiss.

"I'll start the coffee" he whispered, as both of you got up and started the day.

[who-what-when]

Are you happy? (Ace Copular x reader)

(Note: reader's gender is not specified)

"Bye! Thanks for the dinner!" your friend yelled as he waves goodbye, with your other friend holding up a peace sign.

"Make sure you don't slam your head on the door!" you shouted back.

"That was one time!"

You couldn't stop your laughter escaping you, before you raised your hand to wave back, "Alright then! Goodbye now!"

And like that, you were on your way, walking down the sidewalk while gazing at the world around you.

Even as the cold starts creeping in, your pace slows as your eyes watch the setting sun bathing everything in orange hues, always a pretty sight to behold, nostalgic even, especially with one memory always popping up every time you see this view.

One you looked back on with great fondness.

But a sudden shroud of darkness pulls you away from the world around you.

You swung your leg to whoever was behind, only for you to hear "Whoa!" as your legs were caught mid kick.

Almost immediately, your vision returned, now facing the person who covered your eyes.

"Ace?!"

You recoiled back, leg twisting out of balance.

"Hang on!"

You would've kissed the asphalt with your teeth, had it not been for Ace catching your wrist.

"You okay?" He asked, pulling you back up.

"Oh my gosh, I didn't mean to-- it's just--," whatever feelings were there started to die down, now replaced with irritation as you punched his shoulder, albeit barely.

"Don't scare me like that!"

"Sorry sorry, I saw you on my way and just thought I'd surprise you," he said, raising his hands up to his chest.

"Didn't really expect a kick to the face though, heh"

Your brows furrowed but even then, a sigh slipped past you before slumping towards him, "I'm sorry too"

"S'alright, I deserved it,"

You feel him pat your back, ushering you to look back up.

"C'mon, let's go" he said.

You agreed, intertwining your hand in his as you walk towards home.

"So, how did it go?" Ace asked.

You raised your brow, "What?"

"Your meet up, you don't usually stay out too late, had too much fun?"

You gave a short laugh recalling the events in detaol "Something like that, we just got carried away with karaoke"

Then the memory of your friend singing popped up, expression then shifting to mild worry, "I'm sure my friend's throat will be fried the next day, might need to lay off singing for a while." 

Ace's brow raised in amusement, "Dang, they really went all out?"

"Yep!" You laughed.

"You don't sound too worried there," he said

You shook your head, "Nah, it's them we're talking about, they'll just bounce back like it's nothing"

"Well, At least you guys had fun, I hadn't seen you smile this much before, it's really cute," he teased.

But his tone made you pause, giving you a moment to gauge your answer, "I mean, yeah- they're my best friends, family even, I can't imagine what it's like without them"

"Family..." he muttered.

"Why'd you ask?"

"Nothing, just wondering that's all,"

Silence passed, with only your footsteps filling the space, normally this would be comforting, but this one feels... Off, like there's something hidden between the lines.

His movements tell you much, eyes were distant as well and far from the moment, telling you something else than what you see.

But you didn't push-- instead, you moved closer to him, head resting on his shoulder.

"You know, its kinda like you," you say.

His gaze shifted to you, curiosity waiting for you to elaborate.

"I can't think of what it would be like-- if I hadn't met you, actually" your hand lightly squeezed his own, "I don't want to even think about it,"

"Even if it means you would be more happy?" he asked.

You only smiled, gaze softening as you look up at him, "I don't need it, I'm already happy."

Another silence, but it's returned to a comforting state, one that you love, with Ace loosening up and laughing as he placed a quick peck on your forehead.

"I'm happy too"
