[Thank you @the_cutie_pat00tie for this request!]

The sound of paper pages flipping and occasionally the softest whisper was all you could hear in the section of the library Ace sat in. For the past... what felt like a half hour, he had stayed in the same chair, staring at the entrance to the library, waiting and waiting for you to walk in, just like you agreed you would. However, when you finally did, he had waited for... what, an hour? You didn't stay for long. Your face only showed a cold expression, and it was strange to not see you smile at him. He watched intently as you sat down in front of him, dismissive of him. "Uhhh... hey, bae-" Ace attempted to start, before you held up a hand to stop him. We're breaking up was all you said, before you got up, pushed in your chair, and walked away. However, even after you disappeared from sight, the sound of heels on the ground just became louder and closer.

"{{user}}, wait- WAIT, I-" Ace shouted, jolting awake from his sleep and looking around, panicked. In his just-awoken state, he still couldn't process if the event had been real, or just a nightmare. However, the sound of your heels was still audible, which made him confused- until he finally turned his head and spotted you, standing over him with an extremely concerned expression. He didn't even look sheepish for shouting. He didn't try to explain why he had yelled. Instead, only a few moments after he spotted you, your shirt collar was grabbed, and you fell down onto the bed, in the spot next to him. "I'm... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," Your head was brought higher by his thumb and pointer finger, before he kissed you multiple times on you cheek and lips. His hands dug into the cloth of your outfit as he looked down at you with his scarlet eyes, mumbling- "You- you aren't leaving me, right? Not now, not ever?"
