Chapter Text
My Secret Valentine/Nancy and Ace Drabble
Nancy couldn’t put a name to what they were. But, ever since that first night together, they couldn’t seem to keep their hands off of one other. Meeting at his place was not always possible as his roommate was starting to suspect that something was going on and they really didn’t want anyone to know until they could put name to whatever they were. So, they had taken to meeting up after their shift at the CLAW.
It all started a few days after that first time together, Ace would graze her hand while handing her a plate and a shiver would run down her spine. She would look into his eyes and know that they were both thinking the same thing. They were like thirsty travellers in the desert who came across an oasis.
Nancy licked her lips and before she knew it, Ace was pulling her into the storage closet. He pulled at material and couldn’t seem to peel it off fast enough. The carelessness of the act didn’t matter, just the feel of the others skin. It wasn’t always this charged, but there was something about being at the one place where people didn’t know or shouldn’t know made it all the more exciting.
“You smell good,”Ace mumbled as he pushed her against a nearby wall. The sound of items falling to the floor made them both freeze.
When they realized no one was there to catch them, they caught their breath and went back to sating the hunger that had been building up all day.
The clandestine nature of their affair somehow kept it light and unassuming for Nancy, but one day she realized that something shifted. A customer had come in and was trying to flirt with Ace as he wiped up an empty table. She felt like a headache was coming on.
“You know this will keep happening until you just admit he’s yours,”George said.
Nancy looked at her with surprise.
George laughed, “who did you think you were kidding. He looks at you like you are his next meal and I’ve seen that same look on your face.”
“So, much for that secret valentine thing,”Ace muttered.
Nancy smiled softly at him. “I guess we need to talk about some things.”
Ace shook his head. “No, not necessary. I’m not going anywhere.”
