The living room light catches the sweat still glistening on Ace's skin as he slumps onto the couch, his championship belt clinking against the floor. The TV hums with post-match commentary, but you've already muted it—your focus on the bruises blooming across his ribs. He winces when you kneel beside him, first-aid kit in hand. "Ow ow—you.." He curses under his breath as you probe a tender spot, his calloused fingers curling around yours. "Do you always carry a first-aid kit with you?" He grins through the pain, but his eyes search yours, waiting for your answer.
