37 REIGN OF EMILIA- Lucifer's successor

Previously...

"Now it looks like a hawk, and a dove took a dump on your head before an Adélie Penguin ate a hundred Krills then, also, taking a huge dump on your head." Emilia give a sinister smirk. "Good luck getting that out, Bridgette."

°°°

"You did not go back to school?" Emilia asks the man who stood at her kitchen island, cutting vegetables.

°°°

"Are you feeling better, did the pain subside?" Ace inquires.

"I am fine. Thank you for staying."

"Anyways, I'll be right back. I need to take a leak."

°°°

"What the f*ck is this?"

Three minutes ago...

"I need to go take a leak" Ace says, giving Em a peck before taking off to her bathroom.

While Ace was doing his business, something in the bin at the side of the toilet catches his eye.

He finishes, tucks his pickle away and then bend down to take a closer look at the pregnancy test.

It's negative, but this is Emilia's bathroom.

And Emilia's bin.

Meaning Emilia's negative pregnancy test.

"The f*ck?"

×Now×

"You had a pregnancy scare!?" Ace shouts.

"Good job Kingsman, let the whole neighborhood hear." Emilia rolls her eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes at me. Tell me, how could you keep this from me?"

"I did not think it was a big deal. Which I knew you would." Em mutters.

"That's because it is a big deal. I though we were being safe." Ace says, as he runs his hand through his dark hair.

"Well yeah, except for that one time in Maldonia." Emilia pauses. "And why are you being like this, it is not like I am pregnant."

"No but you though you were and you didn't tell me."

"Will you shut up. Okay, say I told you, then what? You freak out, we go to the hospital just to find out I am just having late period symptoms? It is ridiculous!"

Ace was stubborn, just like Emilia, but he knew she had a point. "You're right. I'm sorry."

"Apology accepted. Buy could you imagine catastrophic it would be if I -was- pregnant? I mean, we are not even together, it would be complete chaos." Emilia scoffs. She wasn't wrong. It would be chaotic.

"Plus. with the both of our backgrounds? We'd probably be raising Lucifer's successor." Ace chuckles. It does make us wonder doesn't it? A child with the future queen of Europe for a mother and the heir to one of the largest crime families in the game as a father. Maybe they would be the spawn of Satan, maybe even worse.

Buy hey. Only I know the answer to that.

"Yeah. Besides. We're way better off now than when we were dating." Emilia mutters.

"And what are we now? To be exact, a-and don't say we're friends Em. Friends don't kiss the way we do. Friends don't do all that we have." he then paused for a moment before adding. "Multiple times."

"I do not know, Ace. You tell me."

"I mean I do like kissing you, and fu*king you." Ace teases.

"So then, we are friend..." Emilia drawls out.

"Friends with..."

"Benefits."

And friends I just want to say that all that sh*t they said earlier about being better off now than they were dating... Boy were they wrong.

"So your mom is Egyptian and your dad was half European half Russian?" Ace tries to clarify his thoughts.

"Yes, so I'm mixed with Egyptian, European and Russian. Isn't that cool?" Emilia giggles. Yes giggles.

"Not cool, that's freaking awesome.

"Talk about awesome, your great, great, grandmother is probably the most badass woman I have heard of in my entire life." Emilia exalts. "Second to my mom, of course, but still. Taking on a whole group of armed men, all my herself and surviving without a scratch? That is f*cking insane!"

Fighting a group of men.

Armed men.

By herself.

Surviving without a scratch.

Hm. Sounds familiar doesn't it?

"Like you took out Syrus' gang?" Ace remarks.

"Yeah well. I have handled worse." Emilia brags.

"Exactly. I gotta say, I'm impressed. Who would've thought that the girl I spoke to over the phone was such a badass, not to mention a childhood friend." Ace raises the corner of his lips into a smile, before taking a bite out of his Risotto.

"Speaking of. Do you remember any of that? Us being childhood friends?" Emilia asks taking the last bite of her Quinoa.

Ace nods before replying: "A little. I remember we go mini golfing and pretend we were actually scoring something, and when we would build mini forts between the couches and pretend we were in world war three. You use to call me-"

"Strawberry. Because your hair was so spiky. You use to call me-."

" Tomato, because your face would get so flushed whenever you got excited. Now that I think about it. It still does." Ace finishes and they both laugh at the funny nicknames.

"If I remember correctly, you kissed me once." Emilia recalls. "Then you just kind of, disappeared."

"Yeah. You pushed me away and said that it was gross."

"We were six. Plus you agreed with me." Em laughs.

"Yeah, because I didn't wanna be embarrassed even more. Then my family decided they wanted to move to America and we did. I didn't put up a fight because I was too embarrassed to see you again." Ace murmurs. Taking his and Emilia's plates to the sink.

"So basically, it is my fault that we never got to see each other again." Em mutters, sadly.

"What? No Em, it was mine. I was too much of a coward to keep being your friend back then."

"You were just a child Ace, you can't blame yourself." Em reassures

"So were you. We both did stupid things, we were kids. So none if not both of us are to blame. Okay?" Ace reassures.

Emilia looks now and fumbles her fingers before nodding in response. "Okay." She then pauses, realizing something.

"What?" Ace questions.

"We just had a whole conversation without you trying to RIP my clothes off." Em chuckles.

Ace shrugs and give her a sly smirk. "Doesn't mean I don't want to."

Emilia smirks, giving him a sly smile of her own. She then gets up out of her chair and walks around the counter to Ace's side, resting her hand under his chin to pull him forward.

There lips were so close. He wanted to kiss her, so bad, but as soon as he leans in, she places her index finger on his lips to stop him.

"Too bad." she teases and attempts to turn away, but Ace went all 365 days on her, by gripping the back of her throat and spinning her around, then plants one solid kiss onto her lips.

Emilia doesn't refuse it and as soon as Ace darts his tongue out to connect it with her she gave him full access. However, as soon as the first moan escapes Emilia's lips, he pulls away and smirks.

"Yeah. Too bad."
