What are your favourite Ace/Deuce head canons?
Hi friend! Thank you for the ask!! I really enjoy Ace/Deuce as a pairing, so I am very excited to answer :D
They are Idiots In Love; everyone else sees it except them. It takes them being locked in a closet by other students in Heartslaybul before they clue in at all. (Riddle probably has some rule where it's ok to lock others in a closet together if it ends the suffering of those around them who just cannot believe they aren't together yet)
Deuce is polyamorous. Ace is not, but he is fully supportive and even tries to be Deuce's wing-man when it comes to dating others.
Ace loves riding the Blastcycle with Deuce because it is a Perfect Chance to cop a feel on his boyfriend and enjoy Deuce's hard-earned muscles.
Both of them thought they had to impress the other by being "tough" and sitting through horror movies. Neither of them like horror movies at all and both of them would've been happy to simply Not Watch them, but they thought the other liked them. This went on for Months. Months......
They paint each other's make up (the heart and the spade) on every day before school. And sometimes they switch symbols, sort of like exchanging promise rings or jewelry that has your boyfriend's name on it.
Their favourite date night is staying up late playing video games and reading comic books together, with lots of snacks and sharing a goodnight kiss before bed.
Trey (the only one not in on the closet incident) was Completely Torn on who to give The Shovel Talk to when they started dating. He ended up doing it with them both, at the same time, in the kitchen, while making pastries so he didn't have to look them consistently in the eyes. It was the most awkward thing Cater has ever walked in on.
The biggest couple fight Ace and Deuce ever got into was when Yuu and Grim had a sleepover with them and they were fighting about who got to sleep next to Yuu. (They solved it by putting Yuu in the middle of the bed they share)
Crewel had to split the two of them up in class and they are not allowed to be lab partners ever because one time Deuce got distracted by Ace's smile and accidentally set the entire lab on fire.
They both blush profusely when they hold hands in public. But they both REFUSE to let go.
There you have it! Those are the headcannons I have for Ace/Deuce as a couple! I hope you enjoy them, these make me smile a lot :)

Whumptober Day 9 - Ace
Blastcycles are basically magic motorcycles, right? Cool, let’s go wreck one. Implied pre-relationship Ace/Deuce.
No. 9 THE VERY NOISY NIGHT
Sleeping in Shifts | Tossing and Turning | Caught in a Storm
Read on AO3!
Fic beneath the cut!
In hindsight, they probably should have checked a weather report before going out. The weather had been perfectly clear that morning, so the thought didn’t cross Ace’s mind. Wasn’t there a saying about that? Clear in the morning, sailors take warning? No wait, that was red in the morning, sailors take warning. Well, he sure as hell wished he’d taken warning now.
Last week, Deuce had mentioned taking him on a blastcycle ride, and Ace thought today would be a good day to go. The storm came out of nowhere, black clouds churning across the sky and bringing wind, rain, and lightning with it.
Ace sat behind Deuce on the blastcycle, arms wrapped tight around his middle and holding on for dear life. Deuce was tense beneath Ace’s arms, his hands gripping the handle bars tight enough to turn his knuckles white. They weaved along the twisting, winding forest road that led back to campus.
Ace shifted his weight with each turn. Between the blastcycle’s engine, the torrential rain, and his thick helmet, he couldn’t hear a damn thing, and really hoped Deuce didn’t need to shout instructions back to him. Rain whipped against him, stinging against his arms, and he wished he’d taken Deuce up on wearing the leather jacket Deuce had offered. At least Deuce had insisted on the helmets for both of them, so Ace didn’t have rain whipping his face, too.
He couldn’t wait to get back to the dorm. He wanted to take a hot shower, get into some nice dry clothes, and a cup of hot cocoa. Wait, shit. It was Saturday. Wasn’t there a rule about hot cocoa on Saturdays? Fuck it. Riddle could eat his entire ass if he thought he could stop him after being out in weather like this.
They hit a turn sharper than the others and the blastcycle tilted hard. Shit, was he supposed to lean into the turn or away from it? What was Deuce doing? What should he—
They hit a patch of water and the blastcycle slid toward the edge of the road. Deuce squeezed the brakes, but it only sent them spinning out of control. Ace shouted and lost his grip on Deuce. He flew from the cycle, skidded across the road, and kept rolling until his head hit a tree with a deafening crack that finally stopped his momentum.
He stared blankly out the visor of his helmet, vision swimming, and didn’t move until he spotted Deuce sprinting for him.
“Ace! Ace!”
Ace groaned and started to sit up, but stopped when his head swam and a burning pain made itself known across his upper arm and shoulder.
“Ung…”
“Ace, say something!”
“What? Hell, Deuce. Chill. Stop yelling. Ow.”
“Sorry, sorry… hey, let me help you.” Deuce dropped to his knees in the mud. “How do you feel?”
“Still sorting that out… My head’s killing me and my arm hurts.”
“Okay. Anything else? Is anything numb? Can you move your neck? Does your chest hurt? Can you breathe okay?” A hand pressed against Ace’s chest, as if Deuce would be able to feel if anything was wrong.
“I… I don’t… Geez, calm down. I don’t know. I think it’s fine? Nothing’s numb, I’m just kinda sore and battered all over.”
“Can you move your arm?”
Ace experimentally moved his arm and grimaced. “Yeah, but it stings. Ugh, get this helmet off, I can’t see anything.”
Deuce pulled Ace’s helmet off along with his own, then carefully helped Ace sit up to lean against the tree. He gently took Ace’s arm, helping him slowly flex and extend it.
“It doesn’t seem broken,” he said, “but you’ve got some ugly road rash. At least, I’m pretty sure. It might just be mud, but—”
Lightning flashed over them, illuminating the area and a crack of thunder followed a moment later.
Deuce grimaced. “Ah… no, that’s definitely road rash.”
“It hurts like a bitch.”
“Yeah, I bet,” Deuce chewed on his lower lip for a moment. “It’s…pretty bad. I don’t think you lost more than skin, but…”
“Don’t say ‘I told you so.’”
“I wasn’t gonna!” Deuce said a little too quickly. “But… that is why it’s good to wear a sturdy jacket while…”
Ace glowered at him and Deuce trailed off.
“I-In any case,” he hastily continued, “I think it’s a good idea to try and keep it clean. Er… at least not let it get it any more dirty than it is, there’s a bunch of mud and grit on the wound already, but it’s good to not get it worse and—”
“Spit it out already, Deuce!”
“I’m gonna put my jacket on you, check to see if the blastcycle still works, and then call Trey.”
“Okay,” Ace sighed, leaning his head back against the tree. “That’s all you had to say. Hell. Fussing like a mother hen. Get over yourself.”
Deuce fell silent and lowered his eyes. He stripped out of his leather jacket and carefully helped Ace slide into it. Ace hissed as the soft lining scraped against his raw wound, but let out a sigh once it was on. Even though the sensation of something touching the injury was uncomfortable, it was better than the wind and rain.
“Okay,” Deuce rose to his feet. “I’ll be right back. Shout if you need me!”
Ace snorted. What a pain in the ass. He rested his head back against the tree and closed his eyes. His head throbbed, and the endless drone of rain wasn’t helping. They never should have driven back in the rain. They should have parked down in town and waited for the storm to pass before trying to head back to campus. Or maybe Deuce should just be a better driver. He was always going on about blastcycles and how good he was with them. If he was so damn good, why did he crash?
He took slow, deep breaths, letting his anger stew for a bit. Stupid Deuce. It was his idea to do this in the first place. He opened his eyes and looked across the road to where Deuce was examining the fallen blastcycle. Hell, even now, he was paying more attention to his stupid cycle than he was to…
Ace’s thoughts stuttered to a stop as he watched Deuce circle the cycle. Deuce was limping. And not just a little bit, either. He really didn’t want to put weight on his left leg.
He hadn’t mentioned he was injured. Then again, Ace hadn’t asked. Guilt churned in his gut. Deuce dropped everything and ran to him on a busted leg to make sure he was alright, while Ace hadn’t even bothered to ask the same of Deuce. His eyes fell to the helmets in front of him. They were both scratched and scuffed all to hell, and the back of Ace’s helmet had a noticeable crack. Ace thought about the tree that had stopped him, and it dawned on him with a sinking horror just how badly he could have been hurt. And here he was, annoyed at Deuce for being worried while not even bothering to see if Deuce was okay.
Deuce was leaning against the cycle now, talking on his phone. He nodded a few times, talked a little more, then hung up the phone and stuffed it back into his pocket before limping back over to Ace.
“Well, the blastcycle’s totaled,” he said. “I just got off the phone with Trey, and he’s arranging for the cycle to be towed and for someone to give us a ride back to campus. We just have to wait it out until they get here.”
He carefully sat down beside Ace, laying his bad leg straight in front of him. They sat in silence, listening to the pouring rain and the crack of thunder.
“Hey,” Ace finally said, “...I’m sorry for yelling at you.”
Deuce was silent for a moment.
“It’s okay,” he finally replied, “you were hurt and lashed out. I get it.”
Ace winced. Hell. Saying it like that, Deuce probably did get it.
“Are you hurt?”
“I’m okay.”
“You were limping.”
Deuce looked down at his leg. “After you were thrown off, the blastcycle fell over and took me with it. My leg was trapped under it, and I think I broke some toes. Maybe some other stuff. I dunno. I’ve had worse.”
“You were running right for me after the crash,” Ace said, “on a broken foot?”
Deuce shrugged. “The pain hadn’t hit me yet. And you were just… laying there, and so I thought… I mean… I wanted to make sure you were okay.”
Ace’s gut twisted unpleasantly with guilt at the same time his heart fluttered with… something else. Something he wasn’t ready to think about right now.
“Hey,” he leaned into Deuce, gently bumping shoulders with him. “...thanks.”
Deuce didn’t reply for a long moment. Rain dripped off his nose, and his bangs lay plastered against his face. Finally, Deuce leaned back against Ace.
“You’re welcome.”
Together they sat in silence, waiting for help to arrive.

For the ship ask: Bon/Rin and Ace/Deuce.
Thank you @kimium for the ask! I am excited to talk about both of these!!! (from this post)
Bon/Rin
I SHIP IT!!!!! MWAHAHA!!!!
What made you ship it?
The chemistry of rivals to lovers, and opposites attract! What I love about Rin and Bon is that they are both so dynamic and determined and they have the same goal: to defeat Satan. Yet, even with all those similarities, they are so different in their approaches. Rin is the 'jump head first into chaos without a back up plan or any plan at all other than attack' and Bon is 'I have plans for my plans and strategies and I will take the long route and master three different classes to have the power to defeat Satan'. In any storyline, their differences cause tension and yet also have the opportunity to bring out the best in each other. My favourite episodes and chapters in the manga involve them working together. (And yes, you know what, I was ok with the initial ending of the first season. I know it's not canon to the manga, I know that. I know Season 2 'fixed' the ending to follow the manga. And that's also good and I am very happy with that because it means we can get more of the storyline from the manga animated. But in that first season? When Bon runs in for the hug and he's crying and shouting at Rin? That was Top Fucking Tier Bon/Rin moment, and no one can convince me otherwise. Honestly, that was the moment that solidified the ship for me)
2. What are your favorite things about the ship?
The banter! I love their interactions. I love watching Rin pout because Bon learns more quickly than he does. I like watching Bon be either completely unamused by Rin's antics or so confused by them he doesn't know what to do. I like to imagine it as Rin wanting to impress Bon and Bon being like 'why do I love this dumbass' internally.
I also really love watching them help each other grow throughout. Rin realizing he doesn't have to fight alone, that he and Bon can be a TEAM, like when they fight the Impure King? Top Tier. Bon realizing he really cares about what happens to Rin and that Rin is a good person, that a person's lineage doesn't define them? Top. Fucking. Tier.
3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
I don't know to be honest; I don't think I interact with fandom enough to know what is a 'popular' or 'unpopular' opinion for Bon/Rin.
Ace/Deuce
I ship it!
What made you ship it?
This is another rivals to lovers vibe for me, and more opposites attract! We have Ace: sharp tongued and quick-witted and mischeivous, but also loyal and enthusiastic and fun, and Deuce: not as sharp but definitely physically stronger, honest, and a canonical momma's boy. Very cute. Plus, I love Ace calling him "Loosey-Deucy", I think it's a cute nickname.
2. What are your favorite things about the ship?
They are Disaster Gays. Gay Disasters. Chaotic Dumbass Couple. The dumbass energy is hilarious and makes me laugh all the time. Their in-game banter is very cute, and their schemes cause so much trouble for Yuu. Their entire dynamic just makes me so happy.
3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
Not sure if this is unpopular or not, but I have come to the following conclusion in my own mind of this ship:
Deuce is polyamorous and is dating Ace but also has a crush on Epel and I totally believe Ace would try to help wingman his boyfriend into a date with Epel. :D
Hope you enjoyed these answers friend! Thanks again for the ask!!
