“Crowley found a way home for me.”
The air grew thick and the silence was unbearable. Of course, Ace, Deuce, and Grim, they all knew that one day this would happen. That you wouldn’t be a part of their world anymore, but why did it have to be now?
“He said I have a few days to make a choice…”
“To stay or leave?” Deuce questioned, looking at the ground and not even daring to meet your eyes.
They all reacted in different ways. Deuce silently cursed at the fact he didn’t have the right words to say. Grim curled up on the couch, silently laying his head on your lap. For the first time he didn’t care if he showed his affection in a soft manner. And finally Ace, he told you he was glad you had a way home, but deep down he was hurting just as much as the other two.
That night you all decided to have a sleepover. To escape reality just a little while longer. Grim caved into sleep, as well as you. Deuce and Ace on the other hand laid in their sleeping bags thinking.
Deuce wanted to make you stay.
Ace knew that this was your choice to make. Whatever choice you made, he would have to smile and go on living. But somewhere deep down he wanted to subtly hint that he wanted you to stay. To show you that he needed you here. Right at his side.
They were going to do everything possible to show you they cared. Just like you had with them. They couldn’t just sit and do nothing. You made Deuce want to strive for something bigger. You made Ace softer. You showed Grim what a home could feel like. And for that they wanted to repay you.
The next few days each one showed you displays of affection.
Deuce took you on multiple blastcycle rides. Sometimes landing on the beach or the prettiest spots in the woods of the school.
Ace would sit you down to play card games and chat like he always had. He also stayed attached to you every second he possibly could. No longer afraid of what you might think about it.
And Grim, he would start setting aside little bits of his food for you to have. He’d also compliment you in his own Grim way. Making you feel like his special hench-human!
Finally the day of your decision, and they all sat on the couch anticipating your choice. It would either bring them relief or stab them in the heart.
“I- Ive decided to stay.”
All three released a huff of breath. Not caring to hide just how happy this made them all.
“But- but you always said you wanted to go back home…?” Ace spoke out.
A soft smile rose on your face. “Things have changed since then. How could I want to go?”
“I don’t understand-“ Deuce sputtered.
Gentle tears started to fill your eyes. “How could I want to leave, when I have everything I’ll ever need here. You’re my family! I want to continue making new memories. I want to keep hearing Grim calling out for me. I want to keep studying and going on blastcycle rides with you, Deuce. I want to keep smiling and laughing with you, Ace,” you exclaimed, tears now uncontrollably falling. “I- I want to be home!”
This rendered you all a sobbing mess. But what did that matter? When you guys were right where you wanted to be.
