Our Loving Angel (ch.7)

Fanfiction | AO3 Age jumping now~!

“You take that back right now, fucker!” Ace growls as he stands in front of an upper classmen, teeth clenching tight as he glares in threat.

They were both fifteen now, being freshmen in the spring time and the year almost over coming up in May. Sabo had a hard time once they got to the high school as teenagers were brutal with gossip and he had scarring so bluntly obvious. Not only that, but the rumors about how his parents abandoned him and got merely a slap on the wrist and told to live in another state always brought disgust in him—not even getting Stelly taken from them because they showed so much ‘love’ for the boy. It made him always hide his emotions, but deep down it bothered him that he started using his hair to grow out enough to cover the left side of his face, tilting his head to help with that. No matter what, though, Ace stood by his side in reassurance and was always there to snap at anyone looking at the blond wrong.

“Or what, Freshie?” The guy with his two buddies standing are laughing as they had just told Sabo he was a walking freak show and other things to pull at the way he looked. Sabo was sure he would get over the name calling, but the pain of flames burning him were still very fresh in his memories no matter if it had been three years.

“I use your face to wipe the floor with!” Ace snaps as he defends his friend with a firm stance and head held high no matter if he hadn’t fully got his growth spurt for height yet, which actually made Sabo taller than him at the moment—even though he wasn’t done growing either.

Another fight broke out, Sabo never leaving his friend vulnerable even if he was still bothered by it all. A twinge always got to him as he easily twisted one guy’s arm and swung him into the lockers to have the face slam first. It caused the guy to stay down, letting him drop to the ground, and Ace pummeled another guy while kicking the other guy to back off and Sabo let’s his face twist in anger. It boils in him at the thought of someone hurting his friend and he easily shifts fingers to do a type of claw. Approaching the other guy that was kicked away, he grabs to his face and trips him to soon throw him onto his back down to the concrete hall floors heavily.

“BREAK IT UP!” A teacher is hollering as Sabo quickly grabs to Ace to get him to pull away from the student he had been wailing on, the one to make the comments in the first place. The guy’s face was no doubt going to be bruised, blood coming from a split lip and he could only crumple to the ground in whimpers.

“Don’t you ever talk about him like that again!” Ace roars out in anger and lets out a dangerous type of growl in his throat to show his displeasure of it even happening in the first place.

“Ace, Sabo! To the Principle’s office now!”

That wasn’t the first time they had heard those words and definitely was not the last.

~.~.~

Ace is such a free spirit; Junior year becomes more spontaneous for him as girls start noticing his dreamy body after he began to go on runs through town more. Along with him is Sabo, showing to be rather well-defined and showing to be able to control his emotions better. It fools everyone, giving a smile that is fake to all the people around him except Ace, where he shows a true one that reaches his eyes. As they grow older, it shows how much they would soon enough get people flirting with them, but Sabo was harder to persuade into a date than Ace.

Which Sabo gritted his teeth when Ace started to date and have a girl hanging onto him like he was some hanger and she was clothes. On most occasions it didn’t last long, but Sabo still had to hold his tongue at what his friend wanted to do and it was evident he placed himself by Ace’s side no matter what. A couple times he tried to appease others by giving in to date, but the girls always got irritated when he didn’t want to engage in any kind of touching with them, being bothered to the max. The farthest he gave was a hand or his arm for them to grasp onto to appease them, but anything more had him direct himself away as even the hand holding pushes his limits.

“Excuse you?” Ace asks out in disbelief at the new fling he has going on and Sabo approaches in time to witness as Ace shoves the girl off from him. It secretly gives Sabo satisfaction of such a sight and wish he could yank the woman’s hair to get her away from his friend. “Get the fuck away from me if you are going to talk like that!” The words have Sabo pause in his tracks enough away to not disturb what was happening, maybe a little too happy as it looked like a break-up.

“You pick him over your girlfriend?!” The girl shouts and they hardly noticed Sabo had approached as most people stare while somewhat gathering to have him blend with the crowd. They were right outside of the school and students gossip in hushed tones as they question on what could cause such a thing.

“Of course! Sabo will always be my best friend!” Ace snaps out with a snarl and the blond realizes how this is about him, making him elated that he was important to his friend still after these years. “And like I give a fuck about if he has a different preference! If you can’t get over yourself to realize I hold someone higher than you because I have been with him since kids then you can forget it!” A hand swings out as he holds himself firm with his words and sneers at the woman.

“Like I would want to get caught with some fag!”

“Well honey you dated a half breed!” It was startling to everyone on the words, even to Sabo as he didn’t know that about his friend. It felt like he missed out on something and tried to remember if Ace ever hinted at it.

“Disgusting!” The girl practically screams as she soon turns away while stalking away with a noise of being revolted. People stare on as Ace soon snarls at all the faces and soon turns to stalk away.

Sabo had still been a part of the crowd and could see the tension on his friend, making him move. Shifting by people, he soon catches up to his friend as they rode together to school and were headed to Sabo’s car. It was quiet between them as Sabo kept his neutral expression and was trying to understand how he missed something so important. Getting to the car, they got in and began to pull out with the rest of the traffic as Ace scrunches in the seat as he contemplates over something.

“I don’t want to go home right now.” The words leave Ace plainly and it only takes a couple roads before Sabo follows the request and heads down a dirt road where they knew of an area to park off to the side. Arriving and both getting out, they move along down the small path, not ever seeing anyone else here and Sabo was sure to stay patient for an opening. Feet moved along dirt of the bare path as they made it to the area of an opening in a field, a couple large boulders in place. It wasn’t until they got on the tallest one, sitting down, that Sabo let himself grab his friend’s hand.

“I’m sorry if I complicate relationships.” Sabo apologizes as he hated seeing some of them fall apart because of him, but at the same time he delved in the fact that Ace still stood by him.

“No, they don’t deserve me anyways…” Ace states out while turning his head and viewing to green eyes that show all the emotions he would give only for him. “I just can’t believe I let it slip out like I did…”

“Slip out?” The questioning is to only have Ace clarify more on the meaning behind it.

“The half breed thing…” Dark eyes stare to his friend and grips his hand with a strained expression pulling to his face. “That was a lie, really…” For some reason, Sabo feels his chest clench with ache at the thought his friend not being into males and he wasn’t quite sure on why.

“Lie? As in?” The soft questioning only shows Ace a coaxing of acceptance in any way that he would be with his preferences.

“I’m… I’m pretty sure I am gay.” Ace admits while his free hand rubs to a freckled cheek and drags dark eyes away nervously. “I’m still trying to figure everything out, but something in me is saying that I don’t cater to women like I should.”

“You shouldn’t have that feeling,” Sabo starts as he shifts to grip his friend’s hand in reassurance. “If you like men, then you like men. If you like both, the you like both. Or if you like women, then you like women. There is no set way, society only sets those and not consider that everyone is different.” He continues as he stares to shocked eyes and made sure to show nothing but full on support. “Ace, don’t rush yourself. Dating isn’t important, especially at our age. If it helps, I don’t even know what I am, but I don’t like concerning over it. I am happy with how everything is. I have you and that’s enough.” Admitting to that all, Ace stares in surprise and let’s his fingers tighten to the hand in his.

“Sabo,” the name leaves him as he smiles like the warming sun. “I don’t know what I would do without you.”

“Be dating those god-awful girls.” The blunt answer comes out and makes Ace laugh hard.

“Probably!” Ace admits while pulling on his friend to bring him closer to give a firm hug. “You are the greatest, Sabo!” The hold causes a festering in Sabo’s chest and returns the hug with a deep inhale as he thrums in bliss of the contact. For some reason, the hug felt to be on a deeper level and green eyes stare up towards the sky, letting himself enjoy the breeze as he noticed how his hands didn’t want to let go.

“I will always be the greatest for you.” Sabo reassures, his friend gripping tightly in appreciation and soon pulls away with a grin.

“I know,” Ace comes back with as he laughs with a large smile, eyes closing and let’s himself face up to the sky to let the sun beat down on him with warmth. Their hands find each other again and green eyes couldn’t help but stare in sudden longing at the glowing of his friend.

Sabo felt his heart skip a beat.
