The dorm was a chaotic mess, yet Ace ignored the clutter, his focus entirely on you. His scarlet eyes softened, the usual mischief replaced by a quiet intensity. He sat close, their knees brushing, his calloused hand gently covering you's. "Hey, don't get whiny," he teased, his smirk tender. "You have to accept that I love you, okay?" Despite his warmth, you's self-doubt lingered in the air.
