Familiar Scent (Ace x Reader)

Chapter 33 - Close Combat

Y'ALL ARE SO NICE!! WHY ARE YOU SO NICE???

But for real now. I really appreciate the support from every single one of you. College has been ruthless with us ever since we started online, and I have projects after projects with deadlines that make you wanna pull your hair out of your head. I'm involved in a super important team project right now - the six of us have to make one website for our college. We don't even get that much credit for it but its mandatory we take a team project this semester.

This is why I'll probably be on and off on here. Keep in mind that I'm always working on the next chapter, it's probably just not finished yet.

But don't worry, I plan on updating more regularly starting from May, as spring break finally comes.

I plan on making this story a bit more mature in the nearest future, hope you don't mind ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) But knowing your thirsty asses, I know you won't ~ ;)

Thank you for your patience!

"Doflamingo!" Ace's voice roared throughout the corridors. His anger for this man was beyond measure. He was ready to pounce on him like an animal at any second.

You felt a chill running down your spine. Ace needed more time to heal - not to cause more injuries to the ones he already has. You trusted Ace with your life, but you knew he was no shape to take on enemies like Doflamingo just yet. You struggled to break free from his protective grip. You escaped Doflamingo once, you can do it again. Even if you had to drag Ace along with you.

Finally breaking from his arms, you took one deep breath for courage and then -

"Who the heck are you?" You immediately blurred out. The man standing in front of you was dressed exactly like Doflamingo but looked nothing like him. You looked at him and then back at Ace, who clearly had no idea that this person was not the enemy he thought he was.

'Doflamingo' was frozen in place, holding his arms in the air, looking like a complete idiot. Your mouth opened automatically in complete and utter confusion.

"I am the Young- AH!" The man began but before he could finish, Ace started to attack him.

Looking at the two, you couldn't help but let out a big sigh. It was a good thing your son didn't inherit his father's smarts - or rather the lack of it. The anxiety from earlier vanished immediately. You rubbed your temples as you looked at the pathetic fight between the two.

Ace threw a few punches here and there, barely missing the target. The ground shook with every punch he threw.

"Ace..." You groaned, as you noticed he still didn't understand the situation.

"(Name), run! I'll hold him back." Ace said with a smirk on his face. How long has it been since the last time he threw a fist at someone. He missed the adrenaline. However, he couldn't help but be surprised by his strength that managed to overpower Doflamingo's. From what he remembered, this man was supposed to be pretty strong, even for himself. Nevertheless, the fact remained that this man was in fact his and his brothers common enemy. If he could take him down right now, all their problems would be solved.

"Ace-" You said again, but Ace immedietly shrugged you off.

"Just run, (Name)!" He repeated, preparing his stance. You felt your hand slowly drag down your face. He was lucky you loved him. Otherwise, he would be dead before he knew it.

"ACE!" Your voice overpowered the two men, startling them. The two froze and looked at you. It wasn't Doflamingo the scariest person in room anymore, but rather your imposing figure overshadowing the two men. Ace felt a little shiver going down his spine.
