"Ace I made this especially for you..." a girl clung to Ace's arm while she handed him a paper bag that Ace just stared at without accepting.
"It's lunch, I know you will be hungry and tired later..." the girl continued while she pressed his chin to Ace's upper arm which Ace seemed to not mind.
Ace and his friends just remained quiet while staring at the paper bag that was being handed while she continued to casually hold Ace's arm with a sweet smile and a hopeful look on her face.
The exact scene Blaze had watched was when he passed by the engineering group who were resting on the bench under the trees. It's already midday and the freshmen together with the other hazers are taking a break when Blaze arrives.
The next day was a nightmare for all engineering freshmen when Ace pushed everyone to their limits that a lot of students had already fainted before lunchtime. Turner, Max, Lam, and Parker are just shaking their heads while they help with the activity. They would help as much as they could just to satisfy the head hazer who seemed to wake up on the very wrong side of his bed with his awful mood. "We really need to do something with his mood" Max whispered while they assisted another girl who had fainted. "How?" Turner desperately asked with a glare. They are all getting frustrated and Ace seemed to worsen every passing day instead of getting better. "Lam, maybe you can talk to him..." Turne
Lam together with the other three suddenly stood up and went to the side where the student who triggered Ace was sitting. "You want to die?!" Lam instantly grabbed the collar and angrily asked the frightened boy. "I didn't mean it...I'm so sorry...I'm just so exhausted that I'm not thinking good..." the boy fearfully explained while clinging to Lam's wrist that lifted him from his seat. "We are all exhausted...everyone is exhausted, not just you! So now, we will all be doomed...!" Max flicked the boy's forehead in annoyance before Lam shoved him back to his chair. "You just brought hell to all of us..." Parker also added with his clenched jaw and sharp gaze.  
Everyone has left the field except for Ace and his four friends who are still sitting on the ground looking so exhausted. "Slowdown Ace..." Lam mumbled softly with his hesitant voice while the other three were just rigidly listening. Ace just slightly turned to Lam but did not say anything. "This is getting out of hand..." Lam continued but did not look up to Ace. "Anyone who does not favor my way of doing this activity can leave..." Ace responded with his serious and cold tone before he stood up and left the field. Lam, Parker, Max, and Turner just followed Ace's back with their frustrated looks before they all slumped their bac
"I will wash in the bathroom, I'm all messy and leaking...I can't sleep with this mess" Blaze incredulously replied with his furrowed brows. He was taken aback by Ace's panicked voice and worried face. Ace heaved a sigh of relief before he stood up and picked up Blaze from the bed. "Ace!" Blaze was startled when he was suddenly hauled into the air by Ace's two strong arms. "We will wash together..." Ace just mumbled softly before he went inside the bathroom with Blaze in his arms. They both took another shower and Ace even cleaned Blaze's hole despite Blaze's complaints. Ace made Blaze bend on the wall so he could clean his
The morning activity went well and no one fainted because of exhaustion but the freshmen's misery started after lunch where their head hazer became a madman again. There were no buckets of water but the strenuous activities made some freshmen exhausted and some even fainted. The medical team gets busy again and Blaze is cursing under his breath when he has to help in the field. "He is heartless..." Kit whispered while they were administering first aid to the girl who fainted. "Do they have to do this crazy activity?" Blaze calmly asked but he is uncomfortable under the heat of the sun based on the clenching of his jaw. "Wha
"I want to rest tonight, I'm so fucking tired and sore..." Blaze continued with his calm voice while looking straight ahead. "Yes of course" a firm yet soft voice replied. Blaze heaved a sigh before he raised his hand with his car key which was instantly grabbed from his hand. He just shook his head in amusement with the guy's eagerness before he went to the passenger side and comfortably settled himself while the other guy started to drive away from the parking lot with his stoic but calm face. "Turn right to that intersection Ace" Blaze casually instructed and was instantly followed without questions. Comfortable silence ruled inside the car while they sped away to the almost clear
"What?" Blaze amusedly asked when Ace became so quiet while he just continued to stare at him Ace faintly smiled and gently shook his head while Blaze gaped back at him. "What are you thinking?" Blaze asked curiously, the sweet smile is no longer on his lips. "Nothing important..." Ace briefly responded before their eyes locked and silence ruled between them. Ace pulled Blaze again and tucked him under his chin while he tightened his hold around Blaze's slender body. Blaze inhaled deeply while he also rounded his arm around Ace's waist and closed his eyes. "Sleep well, Blaze..." Ace whispered while buried in Blaze's hair. The di
Ace abruptly turned around and with a very dark and grim face, he stomped his way to the group and instantly grabbed the collar of the bragging guy who was startled by the sudden attack. "What did you say?" Ace grimly asked with his gritted teeth while the other guys seemed to be frozen in their seats that they all became unmoving. Lam, Parker, Max, and Turner rounded the table and watched the other guys while Ace was dealing with the cocky one who was still gaping in shock at Ace. "What did you say? What will you do with Blaze Vaughn?" Ace asked again with his clenched jaw that he gritted his every word. The commotion between Ace's group and the group from other faculty has started t
"Congratulations my Engineer Ace Daxton Anderson" Blaze announced as he started his message for Ace who just passed and even topped the licensure examination for engineers. VMI is holding the biggest celebration of the year for another great success of the newly released vehicle together with the anniversary of the company. The new car became the signature and a brand carrier vehicle of VMI which created another breakthrough for the company as the leading manufacturer and Ace has been part of the whole process. Ace and his team have also been reaping the success since their first project which was adopted by VMI and have even sold the rights of the technology to some other motor companies, giving Ace quite a fortune even before he became a licensed engineer. And today, VMI is celebrating not only the success of their new product and the company anniversary but also honoring
Two handsome and imposing guys entered the mall, causing subtle commotion around them. The tan guy is wearing a white signature T-shirt and tattered jeans, paired with white shoes. His only accessory is the leather watch around his wrist and of course the ring around his ring finger. The pale guy is wearing his usual white shirt and tan colored pants, white shoes, a white watch, and an identical ring. Eyes followed the two while they hopped from one store to another. "Good day sir, how can I help you? Size, sir?" the store attendant asked, staring at Ace's handsome face. "Medium of these, white" Ace told the attendant
Blaze took a step towards the bench until he stopped in front of the man who instantly bowed his head forlornly. "Why that look?" Blaze asked softly with his calm tone and Blaze waited for a response but he got none. The man remained so quiet with a bowed head on his seat. "What are you thinking?" Blaze continued with his already firm tone while the women from afar together with the other people in the hallway gaped at them in confusion. "Ahm...let's get back to your apartment" Ace mumbled softly when he could no longer endure Blaze's piercing eyes and the attention that they had started to earn. "My apartment?" Blaze scoffed and asked wi
Ace parked black panther at the vast parking lot and with sunglasses on his eyes, perfectly fit jeans, and a black t-shirt which exposed the tattoo on his arm and wrist. He casually walked straight to the huge building, unconcerned by the admiring and curious eyes that welcomed him. He arrived in the lobby and he was instantly welcomed by a warm smile from the two reception desk personnel. "Good day sir, what can we help you with?" the girl asked with her cute and sweet smile towards the handsome guy. "Good day, may I ask where the surgery department is?" Ace calmly asked while ignoring the women's obvious admiration. "It's on the second floor, sir. You will be visiting a patient sir?
Ace felt so exhausted from the whole day that he has been working nonstop at the factory and he can now clearly feel the exhaustion in every fiber of his muscles. He entered their apartment expecting it would still be empty since Blaze would often be late in getting off from his hospital duty. He abruptly paused after he closed the main door seeing Blaze in the kitchen. "Hey, you're early?" Ace exclaimed in disbelief and hurriedly went to Blaze who is fresh from the shower. "I got off from work early so we could also rest early" Blaze said after Ace pressed a gentle kiss on his lips. Blaze stared at Ace's tired face while he slowly caressed every contour with his fingertips.
Engineering interns including Ace and his friends were already assigned to the main plant to have their actual exposure in car assembling after they have undergone the procedure of design at the main office. The personnel in the main plant watched the entourage of handsome men while intently staring and inspecting every one of them. They are trying to figure out the famous intern who is a member of the Vaughn family. "Look at those imposing guys, they are so handsome" one of the younger employees whispered while watching the group. "Beware, one of them is the youngest Vaughn's boyfriend" the older woman snapped at the younger ones to remind them. "Who do you think he is from the group
"Blaze..." Ace whispered as he continued to gape in disbelief. "This is your gym, your man cave, and my mini library and study area. This is the whole second floor with your own space now" Blaze excitedly presented his surprise to Ace who continued to gape around. "Come on below" Blaze pulled Ace down the stairs and dragged him to the hallway and entered a huge room. "This is our master's bedroom with our huge walk-in closet and huge bathroom with a jacuzzi" Blaze continued to talk while they walked around the room to show Ace what he was talking about. "We already have three guest rooms, a huge kit
"Isn't it time to go home?" Blaze asked for the nth time while comfortably seated on the couch of the engineering department. He chose to wait for Ace to finish his work after the celebration of Breiy's birthday. The five interns rolled their eyes at the very persistent boy since he sat down on the couch like he was just at home. The engineers and the other personnel of the department are all cautious around the youngest Vaughn who chooses to stay in their office instead of his father or his brother. "Not yet, thirty minutes more..." Ace told him patiently. "It's only ten minutes passed?" Blaze incredulously exclaimed when he realized the last time he asked. Ace just chuckled at the cuteness of his boyfriend
Everyone was waiting for the woman to continue. The family was caught off guard and they remained speechless while staring at her. "I am Tess from the janitorial department, I used to work at the human resource department but I have done something unforgivable. That's why I'm here cleaning all the toilets in VMI" the woman continued with her timid tone while everyone was curiously listening to her. Those who knew her instantly became teary, especially her previous colleagues. "I used to accept bribes from the intern's parents to have extra money. I will serve a slot for interns for a specific amount even if they didn't qualify. I did it several times but unluckily I was caught...and believe me, I truly regretted it... but it's too late, I have already caused trouble to the company" Tess continued with her teary eyes w
