School Life

Ch 1- The Reunion

Author's Note
To my dear lovelies who have decided to click on this fanfic because/despite my "amazing mm well crazy" description (you choose), thank you! There's going to be some elements that will be inspired*cough cough* copied from the original work, but I'd say most of it is from my own imagination (tho I can't promise everything). I'm kidding. Ok, so this fanfic is inspired by the web novel and webtoon 'The Beginning After The End' or 'TBATE' for short, written by TurtleMe and illustrated by Fuyuki23. Before I begin (Ik "when will the story start" gasp while rolling eyes) ok ok, the story begins when Arthur reunites with Tess at the Academy, therefore the title for the this chapter 'The Reunion'. I'm going to tweak things a bit tho, without further ado, I hope you all enjoy!

Arthur's POV
"Do YOU dare?" A voice interrogated behind me. It was the voice of my childhood friend.

I turned around, different voices whispering. "She's so pretty!", "What wouldn't I give for her to smile at me!", "How can she be so beautiful and good at magic!?". At least whisper quieter, I sighed in my head, mentally facepalming myself. Damned teenagers.

But back to reality, did she want me to treat her respectfully as the Student Council President? Did she want me to treat her as a childhood friend? Did she want to keep our past relationship a secret as a whole?

'It's Mama!' Sylv 'kyu'd' on top of my head, before I could say anything Sylvie jumped into Tess' arms and licked her cheek. Well there goes the plan.

I held my hand up in the air "Hey Tess." I said timidly.

Tessia's POV
"Hey Art! How are you Sylvie?" Gaining an other kiss well...lick from Sylvie. "Good I'm guessing" I said to her. I looked up again about to greet Arthur properly.

Wait, wait! I forgot we had a crowd! Ummm what should I do? Um uhh ahhh what should I do?!? Breathe 1...2...3 ok I got this...

Holding Sylvie in my arms, "You. I believed I asked you a question. Do you dare?" I take a step forward, I bore my eyes down at the second year. I probably don't look that intimating with Sylvie in my arms but she's too cute!! Fighting the urge to cuddle her and snuggle my face into her soft fur.

I looked up, Arthur's here. I'll focus on him first then that guy, but didn't grandpa say that he wanted to keep a low profile? Oh well he's done a rubbish job anyways! If he blames me I'll-

"N-no. Of course I would never dare break the rules like that. Please forgive my earlier actions. I think I was a bit too hotheaded." He bowed even lower to the point that I felt like he was going to fall.

Well...never mind.

"Leave." I commanded looking down on him. So this is how Arthur feels I cued, how cool! He shuffles himself a good distance away from Arthur before he turned around and ran away out of sight, a few of the boys in the crowd followed after him. Figures.

That was soo cool I'm surprised I didn't break character. Welp, here we go.

I walked towards Art still holding Sylvie, looking down. "Sigh Art you shouldn't be starting fights on the first day..." staring into Sylvie's eyes. "You think I started the fight?" He asked calmly, however I knew that he wasn't happy. Oh no.

"No, that's not what I mean!" I shot my head up, oh no, then lowered my head slowly back down not knowing what to do "Sorry..." I mumbled "I-I" I pause not knowing what to say next, I blurted out "L-let me make this up to you!" Half shouting it all in one breath. Wait Tess what are you doing? Where are you going with this? Dinner! I don't have anything planned. "H-How about dinner?" I asked half timid half worried he might say no.

Arthur's POV
"Sure." I chuckled. Although I was kinda pissed then, Tess you're still the same aren't you. I smiled nostalgically.
