OK, This is my frst story, so please go easy on the replies, I burn easily! LOL

And I'm sorry in advance for any typos or grammatical errors that I may've missed!

Anyways-ONWARDS!

"You done starin' yet?"

Truthfully she wasn't, Lexi wanted to just sit there, Ace's arm wrapped tenderly around her waist, gazing up at the billions of stars over head. Just the two of them together.

"Hmm?"

"I said, are you done starin' yet. You've been sitting there starin' into space for over five minutes. You okay?" Ace asked, with a slightly concerned look on his face

"Yeah, I'm fine. I guess, I just wasn't expecting this, that's all."

Ace frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I guess....Maybe what we did was a bad idea. What are we gonna do? "I would've thought if anything you would've been slightly...I don't know, Stressed, disappointed, Angry....?"

"....Now hold up for a minute, Sure this isn't, at all what I was expecting, and definitely not what I really wanted to happen to you, but why would I be angry?"

"I don't know, it's a big shock, and right now...I don't think there is anything I can do about it now." Lexi roughly turned her head away; she didn't want him to see the tears streaming down her face.

"Hey." Ace said softly. He put his hand under her chin, so she would look at him.

"Lexi, this isn't your fault. If anything...It's mine!" He blurted out the last part, in an attempt to allow the blame to somehow shift to him, and of course, to try and make her smile.

Lexi started to battle with her own conscience, trying to make sense of the whole situation was becoming difficult, like fighting with an exact replica of yourself, no matter how many punches you throw, somehow they only hurt you. 'It hasn't worked. I feel sick and humiliated, how can I even look at him? He's caring at least, and he's trying to help, but he has, and never will, know what I'm going through.

"Lex, obviously, I have no idea how you feel right now, but I can promise you I'll help. So don't think I'm just gonna bail on you just because this is mainly concerning you."

She looked at him, her expression mixed between gratefulness, hope and disbelief. "Thank you." She whispered before throwing her arms round his neck, she wasn't sure whether she was happy or dismal but suddenly It felt as though all the emotions that had been bottled up inside her were pouring out. She didn't care if anyone else saw them, she didn't care that Ace could see, hear and feel her crying into his chest. All Lexi knew was throughout the period of time she was crying. He was there.

Lexi pulled away sharply, "I guess deep down. That was what I was afraid of most... whether you would be here for me or not." Ashamed of her own thoughts, Lexi turned her head away from him. "I don't even know how I could let myself think you wouldn't be. You've always cared, for as long as I've known you. Since the day we were all brought together as a team, and you were chosen to be our leader, you've looked after us. And you've looked after me."

Ace smiled and pulled her into a hug.

"I'll always be here for you, you can tell me anything...and don't you forget that." He whispered. "You're the one person I've loved this much. I would lay my own life down for you, happy just to know you'll be safe."

Lexi looked up at him, her arms still wrapped around his middle, staring into his eyes. He smiled when he noticed, before leaning in and passionately kissing her.

Lexi smiled happily and let him continue.

The two sat there for hours, Ace still lovingly embracing Lexi, until he looked down to realise she was asleep. Readjusting his position, he picked her up, Bridal style, and walked to his room with her in his arms.

Had it been less than two weeks ago, Ace would have carried Lexi back to her hammock, and proceeded to get himself ready for bed. Now, the two had been happily lying in each others bed, Lexi in Ace's arms asleep together.

Lexi stirred a little when he lay her down in his bed, and opened her eyes.

Ace smiled at this, and lay down next to her.

"I think we should tell the guys what's been going on." Lexi announced, half asleep.

"Are you sure?" Ace said, slightly concerned over how the others would react.

"Yes." Lexi answered briefly before drifting off to sleep again.

'Well this is gonna go down well' Ace thought sarcastically before, too drifting into a deep slumber.

Hi People of Earth!
