Making Myself at Home

An unfamiliar feeling filled my chest and I struggled to figure out exactly what I was feeling. It felt like worry but much heavier. It felt like there was some fear mixed in as well. For some reason, it felt like I was saying good luck and goodbye to him before sending him off to some great war. I shook my head a little to clear my thoughts. What am I even thinking?

He’s just going to go meet his father for a bit to discuss some business plans.

“Have some trust in me, ok?” Ace teased before he flashed me another confident smile.

“Ok. Good luck…” I wished him luck before smiling sweetly at him.

“Ace…” I whispered his name as I blushed.

It was very sudden, but Ace had placed a very soft kiss on my forehead before he smiled down warmly at me. I wasn’t sure who needed more assurance or confidence at that point in time. It was probably me and not him if I had to take a guess.
