For a brief mont, she was stumped. Spending a year away from everybody had its effects, but it didn't an she was oblivious.
"I... lo-like him."
While she may not use the word love yet, like was perfectly suitable, and maybe the feelings went above and beyond. She did not know that much yet. While their relationship had been on hold right now, it was only for her. Only she had been away for a year, for Alan, it was only a week.
Before arriving on this planet, it was good. They had just gone on a date...kissed him on the cheek, and had a great ti.
Though, she would by lying if she said it was not a disappointnt when Alan approached her for a trip. She had the right to think it would be sothing like the novels she read, right? Of how...
'Never mind.'
Regardless, she was angry when she had heard it would not be just the two of them, but all of [Predator] involved. It was not like what she had expected, but she had not let her mind fester on it for long.
She always knew he had sothing going, and later realized it was actually great that he told her everything. It was a sign of trust...
"Like? Hmmm. How did this feeling co to?"
He asked, looking at her with a calm gaze. It did anything but keep her calm. Rather, it made her flustered. The effects of the rune also did not help.
"Ho-how?"
Taken aback, before trying to co up with an answer, she went into deep thought.
The first impression, the most important one, had not been great. She had just been inford that sobody would be a bodyguard for her at school! That was incredibly strange, even for soone of her status, especially at an institute of Shield.
It was displeasure, especially after knowing her uncle had used her to gain a connection with Twilight, with ulterior motives down the line. Her family was the only one that had remained neutral at the ti with the guilds, not having any relationship with them.
But it was not anything strange, there had to be a foundation of trust, and two young and talented youths, one the daughter of the richest family, and the other the one and only spatial elent user at the ti.
While her grandfather may have prevented her uncle from making the relationship greater than a bodyguard, it was a new experience.
'I wouldn't have minded that, right n- What am I thinking...?'
Shaking her head, she recounted the other things, the first eting was ordinary, he did what he was told to do, albeit with a carefree and relaxed attitude. That was actually sothing she preferred.
He did his job very well, there was only one incident during the ti they were getting to know each other. The new year fireworks... one that resulted out of her own immaturity and personal issues.
'Why did I even do that...?'
She cringed just at the thought of it, cursing her photographic mory. It would be great to forget things sotis...
Afterward, their days went on good. He had taken care of Lucas pretty well... In fact, he totally reford the man. Sothing she was sure was impossible. He wouldn't necessarily interfere in many things, and was also a great thod of transportation.
The best, actually. There was nothing else more beloved to sobody who loved to be punctual than the ability to teleport, sothing she envied, even to this day.
The feelings only...began to take root during the normal days at shield, when both Elaine and Serena, as well as other friends bothered her, and how her own sense of responsibility, and pride got in the way.
'How did Alexander even beat Alan anyway?'
That was sothing that still troubled her. Alexander was strong... but Alan? Another level entirely. Even back then, she didn't see how Alexander defeated him.
Putting that aside, he had made an extre expression on the Island, when he had saved her life, against that abominable orc. Then, there was at the incident at Aror, where he solved it, despite how much it had hurt him. Alan had changed, he had gotten more muscular, and also the tattoos he had.
He had gone away then, forgetting his duties for half a year, but she understood it. His sister was in a dire state, and she had seen how much he had done for her in the tower of trials.
He was tenacious, determined, and although not the brightest tool in the shed, he wasn't the dullest. He was... extrely capable, and could be counted on at tis.
He was the strongest too, even now, she was sure not many could even compete with him, close or far in age. There was no one, except one, maybe.
But this was not it, what were the basis of her feelings, of his? The small talks they had, the jokes, the ones she did not enjoy at all? The small banter...
No, that was not how it progressed in those novels... it wasn't like that. It was more dramatic, or subtle...?
A chance encounter, eye to eye, falling in love with each other just from the looks of each other, then having the chance to know each other deeply, on another level.
'No, that guy can be as cold as ice... literally. And the look departnt is... perfect.'
Perfect, that was a strange thing to say. Alan was definitely not on the level where Elijah and Henry were, but he was not bad...
'No... it's perfect.'
It was good... Why was she preferring his face over theirs? Wow, she didn't expect that.
Regardless, even with her perfect mory, recalling everything between them. She couldn't
find it.
Why did she like him? What was the basis for the infatuation? No... No...
It can't be...
She ducked down, grabbing her head, hiding the blush which was painfully obvious and...
'I don't know?!'
