Work Text:
“Ace! Deuce!!”
The two turned their heads back to see Yuu running up to them, holding Grim by his ribbon. The cat-weasel-raccoon-devil animal escaped Yuu’s grasp and splat onto the ground. Ignoring Grim’s cries of pain, the three freshmen began to converse.
“Crewel’s homework, did either of you do it?”
They both nodded and Yuu let out a sigh of relief.
“Thank heavens, apparently he picked today to hold back students who didn’t do this week’s homework”
Ace shrugged, placing his hands behind his head as the three began to walk.
“Deuce wanted help with his so I just decided to do mine as well”
The bluenette glared at his friend.
“Well you should be grateful that I did! Unless you’d like to be held back”
“I never said I wasn’t grateful!”
Yuu rolled their eyes, grabbing Grim before the animal could run away. They left the two Heartslabyul students to continue bickering as they went to class. Said two students were still glaring each other down. The fire-headed let out a sigh, crossing his arms.
“I’m honestly more grateful for whatever happened after that study session”
Deuce’s cheeks flushed up, a light pink shade brushing along his face. He thought back to what had occurred after the study session, knowing exactly what Ace was referring to.
~*~*~
“Okay, and then this question is just the last one with more words. Don’t mind it, it’s basically the same way to answer it. You just need to change these two things here and follow the same steps”
Ace’s finger pointed at different things on Deuce’s paper. The bluenette tried his best to keep up with his friend and it all paid off. They had both managed to get the 6 pages finished in less than an hour. Deuce just finished scribbling down the last of his answer before throwing down his pen and letting out a huff.
“Hahh… it’s done!”
Ace laughed at Deuce’s reaction, shoving his papers into the paper file he used.
“It’s not that hard if you know what you’re doing”
The bluenette leaned back against the backrest of his chair as Ace stood up, getting ready to return back to his room. Thoughts jumbled up and brain dead, Deuce stared at his friend. Ace was the very first person he had become friends with in NRC. Now a whole semester in, he couldn’t place a finger on how he feels about his fire-headed friend.
“Alright then, I’ll head back to my room now. Good night Deuce-”
Deuce interrupted Ace by grabbing his wrist. The bluenette stood up, leaning in to place a kiss on Ace’s cheek. Realising what he had done, his whole face warmed up in embarrassment.
“Th-thank you for the help!”
He stumbled over his words, pushing Ace out of his room. The fire-haired male grounded himself and turned to face Deuce.
“What was that for?”
Deuce felt his cheeks go on fire.
“I… It’s just something I do with friends…”
“Uh huh… sure…”
Blood red eyes narrowed skeptically but quickly changed to crescents as he smiled.
“Aight then! Night Deuce, see ya tomorrow!!”
~*~*~
The bluenette hid his face behind his hand, trying to prevent the other from noticing his flushed cheeks.
“It was in the moment a-and I didn’t know what I was thinking…”
Ace smirked leaning in to place a quick kiss on Deuce’s cheek, mirroring the action from two nights ago.
“Come on, friend . We should head to class, Yuu’s already ditched us”
“Alright, let’s go”

“You two! Are you asleep??”
Deuce turned to where Professor Trein was looking and sure enough, he saw both Ace and Grim with their heads on the table. Ace lifted his head, picking up his pen and resting his chin on his hand.
“No I’m awake”
The bluenette turns back to look at the front of the classroom, messily noting down the writing on the board. He and Ace were desk mates while Yuu and Grim shared the desk right beside them. Deuce just barely heard Yuu smacking Grim awake before Ace whispered into his ear.
“Give me your notes again alright? I’ll buy you something from the canteen later”
Deuce sighed, shaking his head in feigned disappointment.
“You don’t have to buy me anything, I’ll give you my notes after school”
Ace lightly punched Deuce’s arm with a wink.
“Thanks bro, you’re a lifesaver”
The bluenette just rolled his eyes, hiding his smile from Ace.
~*~*~
“Ahhhh today was exhausting!~”
Ace threw his bag onto the floor before rolling onto the mattress. Deuce chuckled, placing his books out on the desk.
“Come on, don't fall asleep now. Don’t forget, you’re the one who asked for my notes. And plus, this is my room so get off my bed”
The fire-headed freshman groaned, forcing himself to drag over another chair. He plopped himself down and opened a fresh page in his notebook and flipped to the right page in Deuce’s.
“Of course you also need my notes from Crewel’s class…”
Ace rolled his eyes.
“Yeah and you let me borrow your notes so you can’t complain”
Both freshmen got to work, Ace on his notes and Deuce on some work from Trein. A few hours passed without any distractions and the bluenette finished off all his overdue work in a little more than an hour. He folded his arms and used it as a pillow, letting his eyes fall shut.
Ace didn’t notice his friend falling asleep hunched over the table beside him. He jotted down everything he needed to, trying his best to even understand what Deuce had written. Not that his handwriting was any neater when taking notes but at least it was legible. Once he was finally done, it had gotten to be past dinner time.
“Welp, I guess I’ll just find some cup noodles or something from the kitchen… Deuce what do you want?”
His reddish-orange eyes flickered over to where his friend was sitting and it was only then that he noticed that the bluenette had fallen asleep. Clumps of deep blue hair were falling all over his face and his cheek was squished against his arm. Not to mention his mouth that was slightly left agape made him let out little snores every now and then.
With a small smile, Ace lifted his hand to brush the hair out of Deuce’s eyes. The back of his fingers came into contact with the bluenette’s cheek, slightly waking him up a bit. A faint hum came from Deuce, simply moving his head to adjust the position he was in. Noticing that his head was now only resting on one arm, Ace took Deuce’s right hand and lifted it up to his lips. Hesitantly, the fire-headed gently pressed a kiss onto the back of his hand before gaining a bit more confidence to plant one on each of Deuce’s knuckles. He slowly set his friend’s hand down before getting up. Ace rushed to pack away his things and once he was done, he paused to glance at the sleeping bluenette one last time.
“I’ll just get one chicken and one beef, you can decide which one you want when I come back”
Ace left the room, not waiting for a reply he’ll never get. Replaying what he just did in his head over and over again, his cheeks flushed with disbelief in his own actions.
“I can’t believe I just did that…”
He quickly slapped himself out of his thoughts and got himself back on track. He hunted down two cups of instant noodles and quickly cooked them up for himself and his friend, idiotically smiling as he did.

“So Deucey, how’s classes going for ya?”
Cater smiled at the freshman, head resting on his hands. Trey sat beside the ginger junior with Riddle dozing off in his lap.
“Ace asked me to let him tutor me a little bit, I’m struggling to keep up with Crewel…”
A sigh interrupted their conversation and Deuce quickly realised they had accidentally roused Riddle from his rest.
“You better not be failing any of your classes Deuce, or else it’ll be off with your head!”
Riddle opened his eyes, slightly shifting a bit to face Deuce who was sitting across the table. The housewarden grabbed one of Trey’s hands which rested around his waist and began playing with the older male’s fingers.
The bluenette scrambled his mind for words. He honestly still hadn’t come to terms with Cater, Trey and Riddle dating. Perhaps it was more of the fact that their strict and very capable housewarden was currently resting in their vice housewarden’s arms.
“I’m not failing any of my classes”
Trey hummed, not focusing too much on the conversation as he was combing his hand through Riddle’s hair. Cater huffed, leaning against the chair with his hands behind his head. The redhead closed his eyes, resting back against Trey.
“Now Cater, I hope you aren’t failing any classes either…”
“I swear I’m not failing any classes, Riddle!!”
~*~*~
Deuce paced around his room, waiting for Ace to knock on his door. Halting his aimless pacing, he heard a few knocks on the door and Deuce ran to open the door revealing Ace in his dorm uniform. His hair was still a bit wet from the shower but overall he still looked decently well put together.
“Sorry it took a while, I was trying to get out the glitter that Floyd poured over my hair”
The bluenette laughed, shaking his head.
“Nah it’s fine, come in”
Opening the door a little wider for Ace to slip in, he pulled out the chair and sat down. Deuce shut the door and plopped down to sit on his bed.
“So, which parts don’t you understand?”
“Hmm… it’s not much, just the reactions when certain things mix together. Y’know, just what we did today”
Ace hummed, flipping through Deuce’s notebook to find the pages on today’s lesson were pretty much empty, save for a few notes about plants. The orange-haired placed his arms behind his head, leaning back against the chair with a smile.
“It’s nothing you need to worry about. If you got the basics down then it’s really just all memorisation for the tests and exams”
Deuce sighed, glancing at the papers Crewel gave them during class.
“Easier said than done…”
The two freshmen spent the rest of the night talking, sometimes straying from work but they still had fun. Time was lost as Deuce found himself listening to Ace’s blabbering. The orange-haired must have also realised how late it had gotten as he stood up and walked towards the door.
“Thanks for tonight, you helped you a lot”
Ace laughed, holding the door knob with his hand without actually opening the door.
“You’re not bad to tutor, I wonder why housewarden doesn’t like tutoring us”
“Because you’re the one he doesn’t like to tutor”
“Whatever~”
Ace playfully rolled his eyes.
“Good night Deuce, see ya tomorrow”
Deuce gently cupped Ace’s cheek and tiptoed to place a soft kiss on his forehead. The bluenette smiled, looking into Ace’s eyes.
“Good night Ace, thanks again for tutoring me”
Ace turned away, quickly mumbling a small goodbye as he left Deuce’s room. Both boys had cheeks flushed with a light shade of pink. Perhaps Ace won’t have to act on his feelings after all… he can just wait for Deuce to confess first.
┌──❀*̥˚───❀*̥˚─┐
~ Forehead kisses ~
I hope we’re together forever
└───❀*̥˚───❀*̥˚┘
Deuce’s eyes scanned the area, making sure this was indeed where Ace had wanted to meet up. Winter break started a few weeks ago and he was starting to get sick from missing the orange-haired so much. Luckily, he didn’t have to ask first since Ace seemed just as eager to meet up. He got off his magical wheel, releasing his head from the helmet.
“Deuce!”
Whipping around, he saw Ace waving as he ran towards him. Deuce caught the other barreling into him.
“Nice to see you too Ace”
The fire-headed boy grinned, looking Deuce up and down before smiling uncharacteristically soft.
“You look nice”
Deuce blushed, trying to play it cool.
“You do too”
The two stood in silence for a while before the bluenette cleared his throat.
“Let’s have a bit of food and then you can come to my place. My mom is on a business trip so I have to house to myself for a while”
Ace nodded, pushing into the cafe that Cater had recommended them to go to. The atmosphere was quite nice, ambient music in the background while soft chatter flowed over. They were quickly seated and they ordered a bit of food with a drink each. The food went quickly, talking as they ate. They split the bill and left the cafe to head to Deuce’s place.
“Nice place you got here”
Deuce shrugged, taking off his shoes and slipping out of his jacket.
“It’s just an ordinary place, you can put your stuff on the couch. Want anything to drink?”
“Just water thanks”
The bluenette nodded before disappearing into the kitchen. Ace plopped down onto the couch and Deuce came back out with two cups. Placing them down onto the coffee table and turning on the gaming console.
“So, same as last time?”
“Of course! I’m gonna win as I always do”
“Hah! As if”
~*~*~
Deuce blinked open his eyes, rubbing his eyes to clear up his vision. He could barely just remember gaming with Ace for hours until they both got tired and ended up falling asleep. Sitting up, he felt a weight on his chest.
Ace stirred at the movement, pushing himself off Deuce’s chest and gazing into his eyes. Maintaining eye contact for a few moments, the bluenette then broke the silence.
“It’s getting late and we haven’t eaten anything…”
The other hummed, not completely awake yet.
“Mmm… m’ not hungry… just go back to sleep…”
Ace’s arms wrapped around Deuce’s waist, pushing all of his weight onto the bluenette. They slowly tipped over to lay on their sides, facing each other. The fire-haired boy dozed off once again, leaving Deuce to his own thoughts.
He wasn’t that hungry himself and he still felt quite drowsy. He carefully got up, hearing a small whine from Ace at the loss of warmth. Deuce quickly grabbed a spare blanket and some pillows from the closet and set them out on the couch. Ace noticed the sudden appearance of pillows and lazily moved to rest his head on one. Deuce then slipped into the blanket behind Ace, gently wrapping his arms around the others waist to spoon him.
“Thanksforthepillows…”
Ace’s words slurred together as he mumbled in his sleep. The bluenette chuckled softly, pressing a few soft kisses the the back of Ace’s neck while feeling his hair tickle his nose.
“Sleep well Ace”
Getting a small hum in response, Deuce closed his eyes and relaxed against Ace. Falling back into the realm of sleep, he smiled absentmindedly as his heart was content with what he did today.

We belong together
└───❀*̥˚───❀*̥˚┘
Coming back to Night Raven College after a nice long break in the Queendom of Roses was not the best. Especially not for Deuce. He was more sensitive to the cold and with the college getting quite low in temperatures, it wasn’t his cup of tea to say the least. At least the school uniform was somewhat helpful.
“Are you alright Deuce? You’re shivering as much as a prickle of hedgehogs after hibernation!”
The bluenette turned around to find his housewarden standing with his arms crossed. Riddle’s eyebrows furrowed with concern when Deuce had yet to reply to him.
“Deuce, can you hear me?”
Blinking a few times, Deuce finally nodded.
“I’m fine housewarden, just a bit cold-”
As if on queue, he interrupted himself with a sneeze. Riddle sighed and took Deuce’s wrist, dragging him into the kitchen. Confused, the freshman watched as Riddle took a mug from the shelf and began making a cup of tea.
“Trey said drinking a cup of tea will help warm you up. Ace said your favourite tea is chrysanthemum, is that correct?”
“U-uh… yeah it is”
Deuce was beyond shocked that Ace had even noticed. He doesn’t drink tea very often but he’ll always try to find chrysanthemum tea when he wants to. The bluenette gratefully takes the cup and simply holds it to feel the heat radiating from the mug. Deuce takes a few sips of tea before bowing a little to his housewarden.
“Thank you for the tea housewarden, I’ll go get ready for my classes now”
The redhead smiled with a little wave.
“Bundle up for class alright? You won’t be able to take proper notes with frozen hands”
~*~*~
Classes were over for the day and Deuce had rushed back into his room to curl up in his blanket. His hands were frozen, so cold that they’ve gone numb. Luckily, he hadn’t gotten any homework so he could just spend the day trying to warm up. Unfortunately for him, he hadn’t taken proper notes during class so he needed to ask Ace for his but he could do it another time.
Letting out a sigh, he rolled around in bed and gazed out the window. It was frosted over, small little dots of snow decorating the panel. Deuce would find it quite beautiful if it wasn’t for the fact that it told him that the outside was freezing. The door swung open and a sing-song voice came in accompanied by a blow of cold air. He smooshed his face deeper into his blanket as he shivered
“Deucey! Do you wanna-Deuce?”
Deuce lifts his head up just a bit to see Ace standing at the door. The fire-haired was simply stunned at what he was seeing.
“Are you okay?”
The bluenette sighed, sitting up while still being bundled up.
“I’m cold”
Ace chuckled, walking to the side of Deuce’s bed to lightly tug at his blanket.
“We can sit in front of the fireplace, I’m getting a bit cold myself. I’ll make two cups of hot choco so just wait in front of the fire. No one is there right now since everyone is just in their rooms”
Deuce watched as he left, sighing before he forced himself to get out of bed. His body was almost frozen solid but moving a bit helped. He bundled up his blanket in his arms and carried it out into the lounge where the newly installed fireplace was. The bluenette plopped himself down onto the couch, already feeling the heat warm his body up. He saw a cup enter his vision and he followed the arm up to meet Ace’s smile.
“One hot choco for you with extra marshmallows! Come on, let’s warm up a bit before we have to eat dinner”
They snuggled up under the blanket, Deuce slightly flushing at the feeling of Ace’s arms around his waist. He forced himself to relax, resting against Ace. The two freshmen sat in front of the fire, peacefully basking in the warm. Deuce closed his eyes but shortly opened them again, flinching when he felt Ace’s lips brush against his jaw right under his ear.
“A-Ace… wh-what are you doing…?”
The bluenette shivered when he felt Ace’s soft lips against his ear, nibbling slightly on his earlobe before resting his head on Deuce’s shoulder.
“Just warming you up a little”
Deuce felt his cheeks heating up, not knowing how to react. He simply moved his arm to rest around Ace’s shoulders and pulled the other closer. Perhaps Ace will do all the work and he won’t need to confess.

You’re my everything
└───❀*̥˚───❀*̥˚┘
Ace dribbled the basketball, serving past Jamil and passed the ball to his teammate. Running to the hoop, he received the ball once again and made his shot. Watching the ball fall straight into the hoop, his team cheered him on while giving him congratulatory high-fives and nudges. Ace ran to the sidelines, grabbing his bottle and taking gulps of water to rehydrate himself.
“Nice shot Ace! Finally scored without hitting the backboard”
The freshman turned around to face Jamil, the dark-haired sophomore smirking at him.
“Yeah, you put up a fight as per usual Jamil”
A chuckle came from the older, patting Ace on the back as he smiled.
“So, how’s your boyfriend?”
Ace almost coughed out the water which made Jamil instinctively move back. Glaring at Jamil, he sighed.
“When was I ever dating someone”
“Ehhh?? Crabby isn’t dating Mackerel yet???”
A slimy voice came from beside them and of course they didn’t need to look to know who the voice belonged to. If not the tone, the strange sea creature nicknames would have definitely given it away.
“Floyd, I was never dating anyone-get off me!”
Midway through speaking, Floyd draped himself over the freshman placing all his weight onto the smaller male. Ace elbowed the sophomore in the stomach and slipped out from under the eel. Jamil snickered, not surprised at his clubmates bickering.
“You and Deuce have been dating since before the winter break no? It's the start of February now so that would be what, 2 months?”
“Crabby and Mackerel are cute together~”
The freshman blinked, barely listening to his friends conversing. Do him and Deuce really seem like a couple? Neither of them have confessed but they’ve been spending more and more time together. Sometimes they even stay the night in each other’s rooms. The rest of the club session was a blur, he wasn’t paying much attention to the game. Ace rushed straight back to Heartslabyul, not even bothering to say goodbye. He took a quick shower and ran straight into Deuce’s room.
“Deuce!”
The bluenette jumped on his seat and turned to look at the boy who had just burst into his room.
“What?”
“Valentine’s day is tomorrow, right? You gonna ask anyone out?”
Deuce blinked, unsure of where the sudden question came from.
“Wha–uh… no? I mean maybe, I’m not sure”
Ace frowned slightly but quickly smiled again. He shut the door behind him and walked to stand beside the other. He scanned the desk and saw Deuce’s notebook open on a page filled with notes as he worked on the homework Trein had assigned them.
“Why’d you ask? You don’t seem like the kind of guy to care about Valentine’s day”
Ace shrugged.
“Nthing really, just curious. Do you wanna hang around in the rose garden? I know you don’t really like the cold but I’ll be there with you”
Deuce smiled, nodding slowly.
“Today’s not too bad I suppose. It’s warmed up a bit since January”
Ace smiled, speeding off into his room to change into his dorm uniform. He met the bluenette outside his room, dressed in his dorm uniform. Ace always thought that Deuce carried the dorm uniform rather nicely. Albeit a bit contrasting with his dark blue hair but he still found it quite attractive.
“Ready to go?”
“Yep”
The two freshmen ran out of the dorm, feeling the cold wind blowing against their faces. Weaving through the hedges, they arrived at the unbirthday party venue. Deuce clumsily tripped over his feet but luckily for him, Ace had fast reflexes. The fire-haired caught him by his waist, pulling the bluenette closer so that his back was against Ace’s chest. The jostling made Deuce’s jacket fall off his shoulders but it worked in Ace’s favour as he gently placed a kiss there.
“Be careful Deucey, we still have lessons tomorrow and I don’t wanna be pushing you on a wheelchair”
The bluenette blushed, wriggling out of Ace’s arms to fix his jacket.
“Thanks…”
Perhaps Valentine’s Day wouldn’t be such a pain for him this year.
┌──❀*̥˚───❀*̥˚─┐

└───❀*̥˚───❀*̥˚┘
“Happy Valentine’s Day!”
Ace jumped onto Deuce’s back, the bluenette just barely managing to hook his arms underneath Ace’s knees. His arms wrapped around Deuce’s neck as he subtly nosed into the bluenette’s cheek.
“Good morning to you too Ace”
Placing Ace down, Deuce picked up his books from his table.
“Come on, let’s head to class”
He walked away and Ace frowned. His heart sank as he watched Deuce going to class as if nothing had happened. Well, of course they weren’t dating or anything but Ace still kind of expected more of a reaction out of the bluenette.
“Hey! At least wait for me!! We’re in the same classes y’know-”
~*~*~
Meet me in the rose garden after school. Go to the Unbirthday party venue and turn at the first opening on your right, then turn left into the third one. I have something to tell you ~ Deuce
Ace stared at the note Deuce had stuck into his textbook. He took a quick glance at the seat next to him, only to find it empty. Apparently the Track and Field club had to help Vargas with something and it was mandatory. That meant Ace would be alone—save for Grim and Yuu but they’re forced to sit in front—in class until after school. He sighed, slipping the note into the pocket on the school blazer before resuming his attention back to his doodles.
Class passed easily, Ace’s mind was completely preoccupied by Deuce’s note after all. The usually spunky freshman was oddly quiet but with the absence of his partner in crime, nobody found it that weird. He returned back to the dorm, changing into the dorm uniform and rushed out into the rose garden.
Following the familiar path into the unbirthday party venue, he took out Deuce’s note from his pocket and followed the directions. Into the first turn on the right before running down the third opening. He sees the dead end but ignores it as he just crashes into Deuce.
Dragging a surprised yelp out from Deuce, he steadied himself from the impact. Arms wrapped around Deuce’s waist and head in his neck, Ace just needed some form of skinship with the bluenette. Deuce relaxed into the hug, gently brushing his hand through Ace’s fiery orange hair.
“You actually came”
Ace released the hug, looking at Deuce with a raised eyebrow.
“Did you think I wouldn’t come?”
The bluenette fiddled with his fingers, slightly biting his bottom lip in nervousness.
“Well, I thought maybe-”
Deuce’s heart rate quickened, not in a good way. His hands shook, unsure of how this little encounter would end. Ace crossed his arms, avoiding looking at Deuce as he interrupted.
“Mm, then you probably thought wrong. If you wanted to be your Valentine then I’d love to be”
Ace looked back at the bluenette, bright orange orbs staring into glistening cyan ones. He walked closer, placing his hand behind his back. Deuce walked back, jumping a bit when he hit the hedge wall. Ace spoke as he leaned in closer, their faces now barely an inch away.
“I’m just thinking… if I kissed you now, I don’t know if I’d be able to stop”
“Then kiss me and don’t stop”
Ace's eyes widened and he wasn’t able to react properly before Deuce grabbed his shoulders and flipped their positions. Now Ace’s back was against the hedge, the leaves tickling the back of his neck.
They breathed against each other’s lips, not touching but ever so close. Deuce wrapped his arms around Ace’s waist before finally pressing their lips together. Both their eyes closed simultaneously, relishing in the feeling they’ve been dying to experience. Months of dragging out their friendship when it could have been better. Ace’s arms were uncomfortably trapping between their chests but he quickly moved them to wrap around Deuce’s neck. That way, he could be more comfortable and he could also pull Deuce closer. Not that they could be any closer than they already were but it still felt nice.
The kiss lasted a long while, only parting to have a breath of air before Ace dived right back in. Completely expecting it, Deuce kissed back but with more force. Slightly prodding at Ace’s lips with his tongue, he drew out a small whimper from the orange-haired before feeling his lips part. Sliding his tongue in, Deuce took full control, not even giving Ace a chance. They then parted once more but that didn’t last long as they both weren’t satisfied yet.
After kissing for what seemed like forever—like 15 minutes—they finally stopped and rested their foreheads together. Sparkly love filled eyes stared into the other’s, catching their breaths.
“I love you, Ace. I have for a long time, ever since that time I threw you at the chandelier to get Grim down. I thought that we’d only ever be friends but here we are, after a long make out session”
“Good make out session, would definitely do it again”
Deuce chuckled standing back upright and taking Ace’s hands in his own. Ace’s cheeks were flushed from the make out session, not to say Deuce’s weren’t but it just wasn’t as obvious. Even after all that, Ace is still constantly Ace.
“Tell me you love me”
“You already know I love you, idiot. I fucking made out with you a few minutes ago. Why do I need to tell you?”
Deuce rolled his eyes, although he wasn’t really annoyed as a smile appeared on his face. Ace let go of Deuce’s hand to hug him. He pressed his face into the bluenette’s neck, successfully hiding how much he’s blushing.
“I-I love you…”
It came out as a small stutter but Deuce didn’t mind, it was pretty cute after all. He wrapped his arms around Ace and sighed happily.
“I love you too Ace”
