Arrow and Ace [part one]

So this story is inspired by these posts here so idea credits to the internet strangers that helped my last braincell come up with ideas lol. If anyone has questions or suggestions tell me in the comments! First fic I’m doing on here lol I hope it's okay.

Also - Axel is asexual and uses he/him, Avery is aromatic and uses she/her, just wanted to make sure characters were clear.

TW: swearing, cliffhanger because this post got long. (i hate them too I'm sorry)

the warnings will change w each post depending on what’s in the chapter, there will likely be more warnings in later chapters

Happy (very late) pride because you’re valid all year round

🧡💛🤍🩵💙

(Also my art![don't repost])

You know how people say, “be gay, do crime”? Well, what me and my best friend, Avery, do is be gay, fight crime. Well, I’m ace and shes aro, but that's really not the point. The point is that we fight crime like badasses.

We’re also in high school. And our school is…well, its certainly a place, that’s for sure.

At first it was heaven compared to middle school, although that place is universally a nightmare and a half, so the bar is pretty low. But after a while, everything just fell back into the same old school routine we’ve been stuck with since kindergarten;

Get up at an ungodly early hour in the morning, sit in a chair for several hours straight getting math shoved in your face, go home, shove more math down your throat and get minimal sleep while the school yells at you to sleep more.

Until, one day, the routine was broken.

I was at Avery’s house. We were playing cards and as I gathered them up after we finished a round, I pulled out an ace of hearts from the deck. “Look, it’s me.” I grinned as I held up the card for her to see. She rolled her eyes before grabbing her brother’s toy bow and arrow. “And me” she said simply as she stuck the suction cup arrow to my forehead. I just laughed and took the arrow off my face, flipping her off with my right hand.

She flipped me off right back with her left, laughing as well. We fist bumped, rings clinking together quietly and I went back to shuffling the cards.

It had been raining all afternoon pretty hard, but it sounded like it had stopped or at least slowed down. I glanced out the window, and the rain had in fact stopped. But that wasn't the only thing I noticed. There was a moving truck parked outside the house across the street.

"Hey, Avery?" I said, still looking out the window.

"Yeah? What's up?" she asked, coming over to me.

"Fresh meat." I joked with a slight smirk. She rolled her eyes at me and looked out the window, raising her eyebrows. "Huh. So it is." she turned to look at me. "Moving into the Robinson's old house. I wonder what the new people will be like." she shrugged and sat back down on her bed. "You think we should go say hi when they get all moved in?"

I only shrugged in response to her question because I knew full well she'd 'go say hi' with or without me.

"Wanna go out since the rain stopped?" I asked. She didn't really answer, just grabbed her phone off the desk and got up to go to the door. We both knew that was a yes, and we both knew what "go out" meant. I guess that's the kind of silent communication that comes with being best friends as long as we have. I followed her, grabbing my phone as well and placing my deck of cards back on her desk.
