Chapter 4: Planning the trip
CGSC did came to their school and selected two other students along with Rebecca.
CG Space Centre was or the people who work there are all trash. Ace hold a huge grudge against the people in higher up positions who works there anyway. They were the reason his parents had to take the risk. He don't want anything to do with them anyway.
"So, the plan. I'm guessing you already had it planned to the t." Vera asks while they watch the two girls and one boy getting congratulate by other for getting selected.
"They are planning a trip twenty days from now right?" Ace ask and Vera gave him a nod. "I'm planning a picnic trip with August, you're invited to come along." He informs, smiling at the girl beside him.
"I'll skip." Vera said and fake gags, "I can't be around newly mated couples, you're gross."
"As if you yourself aren't whipped for my android maid." Ace scoffs, making a 'tsk' sound at the other.
"She has a heart." Vera glares but it didn't work on Ace, it was useless.
"Which I made, mind you dear friend."
"We are not having this conversation again!"
"You started it darling."
"Casper!"
"I take back my invite, you're not welcome to our picnic trip."
"As if I want to."
"You'll regret it."
"I don't think so."
"Yes you will."
School goes on as usual but after school, Ace was busy preparing things for their picnic trip inside his underground lab. While August cook for him and bring the meal down to the lab and hand feed him because Ace refuse to move away from his desk. After that, August will sit by the couch in the corner with blanket warp around him and a book. The lab was chilly and Ace didn't installed a heater in here, said that he likes the calming chilly atmosphere to work in when August complaint about the coldness. Ace just got him a baby blue soft and comfortable blanket on his second visit.
But it's the sixth night and August can't just sit back and watch his mate fumbling around with his toys with a tired body.
"Casper dear, can't you continue tomorrow?" August calls from where he sat on the couch, "It's two in the morning and you have classes on eight, can you just rest for now?"
"Nah, I think I'll finish this up." Ace replies as he types in more codes and working on the 'toy' as August calls it. It's gadget but the man just ignored that claim. It's a 'toy', he insisted.
August sighs but didn't said anything but stare at the other men, who was tinkering away on his large desk. While waiting for his mate to be done with his work, pouting cutely as he watch, he himself fall asleep on the couch.
'And..... done~' Ace internally squeals in happiness when his coding was effective, making his gadget to finally start working...
"oh..." he blinks twice to make himself believe that he's not hallucinating the scene in front of him.
August is sleeping on the couch, curled up with the blanket warps around him, and his skin is glowing faint red. His was giving off a warm but calming aura around himself. It was tempting and so Ace gave in.
He walk up to the other and sat by the floor to admire the sleeping face of his mate. It's funny how he and August got used to calling each other 'mate', right after he accepted and recognised their bond.
August is innocent despite his past, his thoughts and actions are pure and held no hidden intention. Ace loves that about him and having this man love him unconditionally is such a blessing.
August is no where light weight but Ace managed to pick him up from the couch, warp around in the blanket and walk up the stairs out of his lab then to his room. He was definitely out of breath when he lay down the man but he was careful to not make any noise and wake the other up. Then Ace get to his bathroom for a quick shower, change into his pyjama and slip into the bed to sleep next to his mate.
