“So everything’s being well for you…huh”
I asked as I sat atop a tower giving a beautiful view of the academy, after Scarlet’s sudden appearance we just kept hugging each other for so ti before we let go, after which Scarlet directly transported atop this tower
From there on we sat here as we talked with each other like lost friends, well it was mostly Scarlet who talked as she spoke to about all the things that happened in her life, like this 2 hours was lost, as the beautiful sight of the sun setting filled our eyes
“Indeed I did have a happy life…”
Scarlet spoke with a nostalgic smile, seeing it I too smiled, a playful smirk ca to as I spoke with a playful words
“But to think the great Scarlet, the epito of human power, the great icy tomboy!, the beauty of all! is my friend!, who would believe it?”
“You!, humph I am not talking to anymore”
“No..no your dragon majesty don’t due that, what will happen to a peasant such as myself when you get angry!”
I spoke with a terrified and scared expression, seeing it Scarlet snorted as she spoke
“Um, it’s good that you know your place”
Her expression was that of a Queen forgiving her subject, soon we kept looking at each other for a few seconds before we started to laugh out loud
“Puff…you really have gotten more lively Scarlet”
“Yeah..yeah, you yourself haven’t changed one bit”
Scarlet spoke with a nostalgic smile, seeing it I too looked at the sunset as I smiled, back then when I had asked Scarlet to introduce through the city when we were young, we would at the end of the day sit at a hill and see the sunset it was quite the scene
‘Yup….simpler tis….’
“Hey, do you miss those tis?”
As I was being nostalgic Scarlet spoke prompting to turn my head to look at her, the rays of the setting sun shining on her making a beautiful look as she held her hair and twirled it around shyly, it was a beautiful scene as she held her knees and looked at expectingly, I nodded my head and this ti I spoke the truth
“Indeed, I miss them, they were simpler tis, it was fun spending and relaxing those ti with you, they were truly fun”
And for the first ti I gave her my most sincere and happy smile, I don’t know how it went but I could say that they were good, as she looked at in daze for a mont before she heavily blushed, I could hear so whispers like ‘not fair~’ or sothin like that
It’s when I wanted to tease her a bit more that she closed her eyes as she held her heart and took deep breaths, I was confused, this went for few seconds before she opened her eyes again, they were serious as they looked at , at this mont I felt that she had co to so sort of agreent, her eyes locked at mine as a loving smile ca to her face, for a mont my heart skipped a beat
“Say Austin do you know?, the tis I spend with you were one of the greatest in my life, it was only when I did et to did I feel like so sort of normal girl, you saved my mother, if it weren’t for you I don’t know what would have happened to ”
Her eyes turned soft, as the smile on her face widened, reaching one her hands towards she held my hand with that she continued
“You risked your life to save my mother, you called a friend, you made smile and laugh, it is and will forever be one of my most treasured mories and after all this you changed my fate, you made happy”
Her hands that held mine moved forward as they intertwined with mine as her other hands held her heart as a blush cropped into her face lighting it up with the setting sun as she spoke again
“You know, I didn’t truly know if I truly loved you, we were young when we t and many things have changed from then, I was afraid that all I felt for you was just the yearning for a friend, a feeling of gratitude but thankfully I was wrong”
Her hand on mine tightened, as her eyes fluttered with shyness and many other emotions as they looked into mine
“I knew it mont when I saw you again, I knew it the mont I saw you in danger, I knew it the mont when I spend all these days feeling anxious of how are eting will go and I knew it the mont you hugged ”
“I knew that
I love you”
Her voice was barely a whisper as they sounded within the surrounding but to my ears they were crystal clear, after saying her bit she gave a smile that made my heart skipping, she looked at my eyes with all the love as she confessed to , this ti I was really in a stump, all my plans were on the idea that most of my relationship keeps secret but sothing tells that if I reject her now sothing very bad will happen
‘System, what’s her love?’
[Love: 150%]
‘…’
‘Was this before she t ?’
[No it was after you hugged her and cried, till then it 99%]
‘Should I run?’
[Normally I will agree but here all I can say is you reap what you sow]
‘Any solutions?’
[To not get raped?]
‘…’
[Well, I did hear that hell is has quite a good season this year, maybe it might not be so bad?]
‘Yeah, well fuck you too’
I could only a give such a response to what the system said, anyhow I turned my head back to Scarlet who was awaiting my answer, no matter how much of a scum I am, making a girl waiting for an answer for a long ti is not sothing I would be willing to do
Since I too know the tension, power and will power you need to do sothing like this, especially when you don’t have any idea how the other person might respond, I closed my eyes as mories flowed in my mind
‘I love you’
‘Huh?, sorry I was just using you to get closer to your friend’
‘Wh-What do you m-an?’
‘Well, it’s simple I had no interest on you, only your rich friend, since that’s accomplished you have no use, so bye’
With that the beautiful won in front of walked away leaving with a broken heart, the mory flashed through my mind in seconds, soon seconds ticked but to Scarlet it was like an eternity, finally I opened my eyes as I spoke
“I’m sorry but no”
And with that it might have being for just a second but the entirety of the Babylon academy trembled for a mont…
