It's shocking !
The sight of it is just terrible .
Ace didn't expect to see that and he wish to never see that again . Before his very eyes is Deuce being hold up by the collar . His face is cover with his own blood, his his left elbow is bent in the wrong way, there's bruises covering his body, some hidden behind his ruined clothes. Just seeing his lover like this make his heart twist and rage boiling up inside of himself, but what made him really snap was to see those men undoing his lover's belt before his very eyes. He deems himself lucky to be walking by the forest behind the school when this happens, because he now can stop it before those asshole does anything worse to his Deuce.
- GET AWAY FROM HIM !
That alone got the attention of everyone. Their leader, who was watching the show from the rock he's sitting on, just glare at him with annoyance.
- Why do you care fucker? We we're about to have some fun!
- A-Ace... Deuce struggle to say. Run...
Deuce pained face as he plead his boyfriend to run away. Just to see that scared expression on Deuce's face, hurt his heart, because his boyfriend should always have that innocent
smile on his lips. Ace launch himself at him. How dare he talk about Deuce like he's some vulgar toy. He's able to gave the leader a good hit on the face.
- HE'S MY BOYFRIEND, THAT'S WHY I CARE, ASSHOLE!
the guy spit out some blood and tries to give a good one to Ace, but he didn't expect the lazy Heartslabyul to be so faster on his feet. All thank to his basketball skills. The moment he was able to take the guy to the ground, he repeatedly kick his face.
- I'll make you pay for hurting him, growl the heart.
The glare he gave him as he stomp on his face is cold, serious and dangerous, even an idiot would know to stay away. Sadly the others charge at him out of loyalty for their leader knowing full well that it's already over. He took them down one after the others no matter how long it take him. That's exactly when it strikes him; these guys are super weak, how in the hell could they beat Deuce who use to be a delinquent?
That's a question for another day, right now Deuce matter more than anything else around him. The red-haired teen run toward the spade and kneel before him. Ace gather Deuce in his arms and brush away some hairs out of his face.
- Are you okay, he ask knowing full well how stupid the question was.
- I-I'm fucking ble-bleeding rainbows, reply the other teen. I was s-so scared...
Just saying that made Deuce so vulnerable in Ace's eyes. His spade isn't so easily scared by fight, he absolutely love them. This one went bad for some reason and he almost got rape, of course this one would scared him.
- It's over, I'm here and nothing else will happen to you, I promise!
- I-I was so scared Ace, I was scared they w-would...
Tears stream down his face as he tries to get the words out, but utterly failed. Ace understand completely why his Deuce react this way.
- Hey, it's over now, don't cry please!
Asking Deuce to not cry right now was like hoping ice wouldn't melt under the scorching heat of the sun. So he did the best thing he can do right now and pull the boy closer to his chest and let him cry his heart out.
- I love you so much, whisper Ace over and over again.
As long as he lived he will never let something like that ever happen again to Deuce. That is a promise.
- I'll protect you forever my spade!
