Like, that boy is gone, he is deceased, Ace's cuteness meter just skyrocketed past the highest limit, this isn't fair it should be illegal to be that cute.

During the alternate end of type 0, Kurasame takes Class Zero on this field trip

And during the whole entire trip Machina is such a fucking disaster with Ace, he can't compute, how does a cutie like Ace exist it's just not fair

And like, the rest of Class Zero obviously know about this damn crush. Cue Cinque laughing her ass off and making fun of Machina for being a mess, Rem is highkey concerned but at the same time lowkey amused, and Deuce is that sweetie who keeps comforting Machina

Slides in. Why yes I do anon

Machina loves to spend time with Ace, he loves the damn attention because Ace always spends all his damn time studying in the library

Machine just loves spending time with his damn boyfriend so whenever he and Ace go out, he makes sure to be as lovey dovey with him as possible, pressing kisses against the crown of his head, playfully twirling him around, wrap his arms around Ace from behind while they wait in line for something, and so on and so forth

Ace loves to see Machina enjoying himself whenever they're out. He feels like he's honestly so boring and the fact that Machina loves him so much despite that really warms his heart

One time on a carnival date, Machina won Ace a giant ass stuffed Chocobo and Ace legit cried from happiness as soon as it was in his arms

Machina lowkey freaked out but Ace gave him a big ol smooch for it so it's all good yo

Whenever he can, Machina will gush about the dates he and Ace has to Rem, and she thinks its the cutest thing

One time before the two started dating, and Machina wanted to find a way to ask him out or whatever, Jack pops in like "uwu how about Trey, King, and I write a love ballad and play it while you confess your love???" and Machina is like no thank you he would rather the two of them be alone thank you very much

Eventually Queen comes up like, "how about you confess after our next lacrosse game??" She's been prepared with this because Ace already spilled the beans to her, Deuce, and Cinque that he liked Machina so she's hopin this will make progress for them

And Machina does end up doing so. After the girls win the game, it starts pouring so while everyone is high from the adrenaline, and it's pouring rain, and the moon is nice and high, Machina turns to Ace from where they are in the stands and is like "do you wanna go out sometime?" and Ace just flushes for a moment before eventually nodding, and Machina almost whooped from happiness because holy shit ace actually said yes-

Cut back to the present, perhaps a year and a half later, and these two are still in a good and healthy relationship

Eventually Machina gets over his fear of knowledge smh and goes to hang out with Ace in the library whenever the boy is studying.

He brings him a snack or two even tho its not allowed but Ace thinks that's sweet.
