BOOK 1 - Destiny (Shonen Anime Style)

Chapter 7: Study Session

It was a new day. Leah woke up and did her usual routine. She took a shower, got dressed and cleaned her room. Then, she headed to the kitchen and prepared breakfast, only to realize Ravi still hadn't woken up... Something that seemed weird and that also made her decide to go check on him.

"Ravi! Are you up already?!" she asked after knocking on his door a few times.

"Yeah! I'll be out in a minute!" Ravi answered from inside.

On her side however, the young girl wanted to check just how messy the room ended up after Ravi slept in it. "Actually, I'd like to check something! Can I come in?!"

"Yeah, sure!"

Leah opened the door and then startled when she found Ravi in the middle of getting dressed without his upper clothes. "EAH!" she yelled as her face became as red as a tomato and her expression was full of embarrassment, after which she turned around to avoid seeing his bare body. "Wh-why are you half-naked?! You t-t-told me I could come in!"

"Well, yeah. Why? Is there a problem?"

"N-no! I Just... wanted to see the room! B-breakfast is ready! So... hurry up!" she added while leaving the room and closing the door in a hurry, to which the blue-haired boy couldn't help but to tilt his head slightly in sign of confusion.

In any case, Leah didn't really go to the kitchen immediately. After closing the door, she leaned on it for a moment while still red and nervous for what had just happened. However, and to her complete surprise, she actually enjoyed it quite a bit.

'Oh... jeez! His body is... so fit!' she thought while closing her eyes and blushing like never before. Then, she shook her head in order to cool herself a bit and went to the kitchen.

Wire and Cybel woke up a bit later, and after having breakfast all together, they headed to the Tower. It was time for Ravi to become an official guardian... trainee.

Nonetheless, just as the group entered the Tower and headed towards the information center, a male exo that happened to be walking around noticed the young girl and approached her all excited. "LEAH!" he screamed while rushing towards Leah and hugging her.

"CAYDE!" Leah yelled back, happily.

The exo's name was Cayde and he was Leah's mentor. Since he was an exo, there was no real way to know his age but he sounded like a middle-aged man... with a childish personality.

"You are finally back! Where have you been?" Cayde asked while letting Leah go. "You've been absent for a very long time!"

"I know. It's only that my ship crashed in the desert and I got stuck there for like a week"

"Really? But you've been absent longer than that"

"I was recovering from some injuries, and also..." Leah stopped mid-sentence and stared at Ravi.

Cayde noticed this and approached him. "So, who's your new friend?"

"Hi, I'm Ravi Azarov" the blunette replied with a smile.

"Ravi, huh? I assume you have something to do with Leah being absent for so long?" Cayde stopped for a moment and then continued. "Wait, don't tell me..." He then rushed to give Leah a hug while patting her head, gently. "I can't believe it! My little Leah finally found herself a boyfriend! Now that's some exciting news!"

"HUH?!" Leah yelled while turning all red.

"Boyfriend? What's a boyfriend?" Ravi innocently asked.
