Connected {Ace x Modern Reader!}

Chapter : 12 {Love}

Y/n's POV :

Ace quite literally hugged me for like an hour after we got home, he was afraid huh

"I am sorry I tried to exit before the fire spread however it was already too late" As I was explaining myself Ace didn't even seemed to budge

"Ne-" He spoke but then got euite again

"Yeah?" I asked him

"Never leave me like that again" He said

He must have been panicked right?

After all --

Wait

After all what?

After all I am the only person in this world who he is familiar with?

For some reasons it makes me chest burn

Is he only scared for himself?

"Wh... Why are you so scared anyways Ace?" I asked as his hug got loose

"Huh?" He asked me, looking straight at me

"Why are you so scared of me dying or getting lost anyways? Is.. Is it only for yourself?" I asked him, finally gathering up the courage

He kept quite for a long time, avoiding eye contract

I figured

I sighed as I began to stand up however he hold my hand

"Actually yes... " He muttered

My chest felt like it is literally burning in fire

I had no meaning to him

I was just being useful to him so--

"I was afraid about you getting hurt.... Because of myself Y/n" He said, determination filled in his eyes

I didn't looked back at him

"Because I don't know what I would do without you Y/n"

Huh?

"Because... If not you..... Where will I go Y/n?"

"You can live on your own now, you have learned everything and even have a job now" I said, ny voice shuttering

"I didn't meant that Y/n, I meant, if not you, who will be my Home?" He asked

I looked back at him, his face fully red

"H- huh?"

"Y/n.....do you really not understand?" He asked again, his voice felt like he is pleading me

"Wh- what?" I asked, afraid about his answer

"𝗜 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂, 𝗬/𝗻"

...

I looked at him before running out of my apartment

"Y- y/n!!"

I panted heavily closing the door

"Ah- Y/n san?" Asked Emily

"Oh Emily chan" I said as she invited me in

..

"Is something troubling you Y/n san?" She asked as she gave me some tea

Her brother isn't home I guess

"No- not really" I said

I have no experience with romance, Emily seems to know a lot about this things tho

"Hmmm let me guess! It's for that Hottie friend you have right?? What's his name again?" She said as she put her finger on her forehead

"You mean Aki?" I asked her
