You made one last jump in his direction, unable to reach the object he was raising into the air with his arm. Ace let out a sneer when you gave up, having failed to take the juice you had bought at the cafe this morning from him.

Lately he's been very attached to you, too playful, too attentive, too close. It's as if having you away for even a second is too much for him. Even so, that didn't change the fact that it was annoying for you to hear his constant teasing, being the victim of his jokes, even more so when Grim laughed at you when you gave up.

—You know, you're being so annoying today — you said with a huff, when you stopped to catch your breath, the one you had lost when you chased him down the main hallway. Oh, Ace knew it, of course he knew you were going to hit him over the head if he didn't stop, or if he made one more joke —. Come on, give it to me now — you added when you couldn't stand it anymore, crossing your arms in front of him.

Ace finally let out a sigh, before a wide smile spread across his face, as if it were the best idea he'd ever had.

—Fine. I'll give it to you... if you give me a kiss.

You heard him say it. And yes, maybe he needed a good punch.
