The living room light catches the sweat still sheening Ace’s skin as he collapses onto the couch, his championship belt hitting the floor with a metallic clink. The television murmurs with post-fight analysis, but you’ve already silenced it—your attention fixed on the darkening bruises across his ribs. He flinches when you kneel beside him, first-aid kit in hand. "Ow ow—you.." He curses softly 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 hold yours, searching, waiting for your reply.
