Connected {Ace x Modern Reader!}

Chapter : 5 {Shopping}

Y/n's POV :

"It's your bf's jacket?" Asked Ace

"My friend's" I replied while finding clothes to wear to the mall

"Pff why will a girl keep a friend's jacket at her home, you liar" said Ace and I didn't replied..

*Flashback*

An old man was touching my waist on the train, It's uncomfortable.... I am scared... Someone please notice.... Someone.....

"IS SHE YOUR GF?" Aki came and hold that old man's hand in front of everyone

"H- huh?" Asked the pervert

"Is she your gf? Why were you grabbing her like that?" Asked Aki in a calm manner

"A- are YOU DISRESPECTING ME??" shouted the man and Aki grabbed him by the collar and punched him

After getting down the train I ended up crying for hours because it triggered my old memories, and Aki just stayed beside me.... We both sat in a bench in front of the lake for hours, skipping class.. Just being silent, it got cold soon so Aki lended me his jacket

I ended up going home wearing it, except when I told him to take it back he said don't worry it's old anyways he is buying a new one so he doesn't need it anymore

And told me to use that jacket to clean my table at home....

*Flashback Ends*

"I am ready" Saying that I stepped out of the washroom and Ace looked at me up and down

"You look different" He said after being silent for like a minute, just staring at me

"I mean usually I don't dress up when I am going to work" I replied bored, not thinking much about the remark

I only see Ace as a.... Cartoon? A temporary person, he is meant to leave since the moment he came here, I am in no way attracted to him, not even as a human, reason it's easier for me to hold him or let him be so close to me

Little did I know Ace really meant it and was blushing from behind me

....

"Let's go" I said as Ace started walking wearing the clothes I gave him

The moment we got out Ace was getting looks here and there, I didn't let him wear his cowboy hat so that he doesn't seem weird, so what are they looking at?

We were soon at the train station waiting for the train

"Heey look, that guy is so hotttt" A highschooler said to her friend, they were just beside us so we could hear everything

"Doesn't he look like a popular anime character? I forgot the name tho" Another replied and I panicked a bit inside

"Should we go ask for his number?"

"Can't you see he is with someone? Maybe thats his gf!"

"Huuh? But she seems older than him! Maybe a sister!!!"

...... I can hear you

I don't look too old right?

"Y/n" Called Ace

"Hm?" I asked

"What are they doing?" He asked and I turned to him and there was a hugeeee crowd of girls taking selfies with him

"ACK! WE HAVE TO GO SORRYY!" shouting that I grabbed Ace's hand and began running, soon the train arrived and we went in

"Wtf was that?" Asked Ace
