Ace Trappola

You two had agreed that this would be a relationship without sex. You just didn't want to for your own reasons, and Ace was okay with that. At first.

The first few months were bearable, just him and his hand... but after a while he was starting to get too desperate. Just as he was trying to behave and ignore the feeling, somehow seeing you made it extremely hard to do so. It was like you were unintentionally provoking him simply by existing and being beautiful!

To be honest, being this affected by you when you weren't really doing anything made him feel a little guilty, that's why he kept it to himself for a long time. He just settled for the one thing he could do to satisfy himself.

He definitely didn't want to try overstepping your boundaries and attempting to initiate something you had explicitly said you didn't want. He was a bit of an idiot, but not that much. He genuinely loved you, after all.

Several months had passed since you started dating, and you were just about to reach your one-year anniversary. Back when he wasn't struggling with his own desires, you two would have sleepovers pretty often. He hated that he had to cut back on that due to his pervy thoughts, but he didn't want to risk doing something he would later regret.

At least he still saw you every day, whether that was between classes, at the cafeteria where you almost always shared meals, or on dates. You both were okay with that.

And now finally, after so long, he asked for a sleepover. It surprised you, since it had been a while since the last time you had a sleepover, but you had no reason to decline. You missed spending the night with him. All your previous sleepovers were so fun. But while you were excited for it, Ace was quite nervous about how it would go.

It was very unusual for him to overthink, especially over something so trivial. But he had his reasons.

He decided that he was going to talk to you about it. Since your relationship was serious at this point, you two would have to communicate properly. He even remembered you telling him that, so he would try to do just that, no matter how difficult or awkward it would be.

Thankfully, the sleepover was going well so far. You talked, watched a movie together, had snacks together and laughed until your stomachs hurt. It distracted him for a while from what was going to happen. Until you were changing into your pajamas.

Ace started to prepare himself mentally, as well as think about how he would bring this up and how he would word it.

When you reentered the room, Ace was sitting on the edge of the bed, hunched over with his head lowered as he rubbed the back of his neck.

It was strange to see him act so off all of a sudden.

You sat down beside him and glanced at him. "...Ace?"

"{{user}}..."

Ace started with a sigh, hesitantly tilting his head up a bit to look at you.

"Look, um... I know we said we wouldn't... have sex or whatever, but..."

He trailed off, averting his gaze from you sheepishly.

"But man, it's starting to get kinda unbearable for me... I have my own desires, y'know?"

He shrugged and finally met your eyes again, all hopeful as he pleaded.

"Would you mind trying it? Just this once?"
