'Ace's POV'

I can't believe it. He said yes! Yes!!! Oh, I need to get myself ready, oh, what should I wear? What should I bring him? Why is getting ready so frustrating!!!

Okay, I need to calm down, yeah, I mean, it's not a date or anything serious, it's just a hang out between friends. Not boyfriends going on a date... "I need to call Marco."

'Marco's POV'

I managed to come home from my part time job as a nurse. God, I can't wait to be a full timer. As I opened my dorm door, I see my roommate sleeping on the couch, while the TV was on streaming surgeons doing an operation on a patient. Seriously, what a weirdo to sleep after watching that.

As I was about to lay down, my fucking phone rings! 'What did I do to deserve this?! Was it me shouting at that Doctor?' I answered the call, and was immediately attacked with a shrieking Ace on the other end.

"Marco help!!!" Ace shouted on the other end of the phone.

"Jesus Christ, why are you shouting? Are you dying or something?!" I shouted back, getting tired of this shit.

"Yes!!! Inside!"

Fucking dramatic bastard. I groaned and pinched the bridge of my nose, "what happened this time, you dramatic prick?"

"First off, I ain't dramatic-"

"Fuck yes." I cut him off.

"Second off" Ace continued, "I don't know the first thing of going on a date. What if I fuck things off? Or spoke too loud at him? Or maybe forget my manners around him?"

"Like I said, dramatic." I replied, contemplating about hanging up on him and going to sleep, but then again, without him, I wouldn't be an intern at the hospital that I'm in. "Well, why not ask your other friends?" I asked.

Ace just groaned in the phone, "They're not like you. You know me better than them, please just help me out."

I groaned, "And what do I get in return?"

"My copy of Gray Anatomy, Brooklyn 99, and The Rookie."

"Sold!" I hung up, and began to research on dating advice and tips to successfully get the date to fall for him.

'Ace's POV'

Did Marco... hung up? I mean, I did tell him that I will give him a copy of his favorite shows. Then that's when I got a call... from Edward? What does the old man want?

I answered the call, and spoke up. "Hello?"

"Ace, my son, how are things?" Edward's raspy voice came through the phone. "Listen, kid, I'll be out of the house for a while, so don't bother visiting me tomorrow."

"Oh? Why so soon?" I asked, since it is unexpected, and sudden.

"Just some business, tell the others the same, okay?" He replied, and followed after, hung up.

I wanted to ask him further, but I didn't want to get nosy. So I told the others on our group chat that Edward will be out of town tomorrow, once that was done, I turned off my phone, and head to my closet to prepare some clothes for my hang out with Sabo, I just can't wait.
