aelita could be described as a little odd, at least from fushiguro's perspective; a very sincere person, but a little too cautious of what others think about her.
the dark-haired boy was invited to tea time with the premature intuition that it was going to either be boring or awkward.
however, to his surprise, it was neither.
aelita welcomed him with a warm smile and tea that reminded him of spring, with questions to engage him further into their conversation.
it didn't feel like he was talking out of obligation, but talking because he felt the girl's genuine wish of getting to know him better.
it wasn't suffocating, which never came off that way with some others.
"oi, fushiguro!! what's got you in a daze?", itadori yūji — the younger brother of the head commander — had suddenly asked.
"nothing", fushiguro immediately answered, returning back to his usual expression.
"nothing? oh I know~ it's the second princ—"
fushiguro hastily covered yuji's mouth, as the other knights-in-training had glanced over to see what the commotion was about, only to resume back to what they were doing.
"how did you know?", fushiguro darkly questioned.
the pink-haired boy grinned.
"my brother's the head commander. everything he knows, I knows", replied yūji.
fushiguro grimaced.
"so? how was she?", yūji whispered, taking a seat beside his best friend — who he had met at the beginning of the knight selection exam that happened every year.
"what do you mean how was she? she's physically well, if that's what you're concerned about", fushiguro stated.
"no! I meant—", yūji momentarily paused, as he lowered his voice. "—is she as hot as everyone says she is?"
fushiguro nearly fell off the edge of their conjoined beds, since all new soldiers were required to share one room, as he watched yūji snort.
"that's not something that should be asked. if you're really curious, then go form your own opinion", fushiguro harshly mumbled.
