He's Mine

Ch. 3

As he hurriedly ran, he accidentally bumped into someone's back. "I'M SORRY, PLEASE EXCUSE ME, I'M LATE!!"

All did the person with turquoise hair stared. He was kind of annoyed, when someone bumps into him. The annoyance left when the notice that the person that bumps into him was the blonde he saw on the Café.

"What a silly boy.." he grins as he continuously walks.

Until he found his class, he opens the door right away. "Am I late?" He pants until he didn't saw any professor in the class. "He's late, don't worry!" The pretty girl suddenly said to him.

"Come here! Sit with me!" The 'girl' pats her sit that is not taken. The other girls were glaring at him when he sits. "Is it okay for me to sit here? Some girls are giving me a dirty look."

"No worries about them! My name is Venti, you?" He was left silent for a moment. Now that he thinks about it, the girl's voice is kind of a young man's voice.

He looks at the person twice. He was dumbfounded. "I'm Aether. I just moved in this school yesterday. Nice to meet you!" He smiles greatly. Venti suddenly blushed at his smile. Then lefts a cheeky laugh.

Until then, the professor has arrived. "Pardon me as I am late. I am Lisa Minci, you may call me as Miss Lisa. I recognized some faces here. Although, there are a few students that are new to this university. I will call one of the few people who are new. You may introduce yourselves in front of the class."

She looks at the blonde boy. He already knew that he was gonna get called first, as the place they were sitting on is in the front. "Alright, Aether, you may introduce yourself into the class."

When Aether stands up into his sit, he smiles at the class and said "Hi, I am Aether V. You may call me as Aether for short. I am very pleased to meet you all."

After the introduction was held in place, they had his first lesson. "Pssst, Aether!" When Aether heard someone calling him, he immediately turn around and saw his classmate. "Here, grab this!" The boy let a note. "That is from my friend here, make sure to reply to it!" 

Aether gets weirded out. It was so sudden, when he check the note, there is a phone number within it. And a note that says; "would you like to exchange number? :)" he turned around again and saw the man who gave the letter. The man was blushing. He replies by saying; "i do not know you. we're in class so shush!" he immediately gave it to the man's friend. 

Venti saw what happened and he gave the man the most dominant glare that he ever gave to someone. He is aware that he's glaring at his classmate but he does not know why. When Aether was about to look at him, he immediately smiled. 

"Ehem" Ms. Lisa is already aware at the time and expected her class to be dismissed. The bell rang, of course. "Alright class, we are dismissed. It is already 1PM. Be sure to eat before another class could occur. You all only have an hour and a half for you lunch." As the students stands up, Venti tapped Aether's shoulder and goes "Hey, would you have a lunch with me?" he asks nicely.

He was expecting him to say yes, but it turns out, Aether had to go somewhere. "Sorry, Venti. I had to go after classes. Let's exchange numbers instead so we can hang around next time." he smiles. 

"Even his small smile is cute. I want to know about him more." Venti thinks at himself. "Alright. That's fine! See you tomorrow, bunny." Aether blushes with the nickname that Venti gave. "T-thanks" he says while he covers his face. 

When he finally got out of the classroom, Albedo had messaged him. Of course he opens it. 

Albedo: Hi, Ae. I'm at the fountain outside. It's in front of your class. 

When he checked the fountain, he waved. Albedo gave him a small wave. 

Aether: I see you! Wait, I will go there with you. :>

When they have finally met again, Aether suddenly hugs Albedo on the back. Venti could probably see them hugging. "Does he have a boyfriend?! Well, it is expected but I'm surprised!" Venti thinks to himself. He let out a sad expression and a sigh as he walks away.

Albedo blushed as Aether hugged him in the back. He sensed Aether in the back but he purposely lets Aether hugged him. He didn't even noticed that he was in a blushing mess. "What's the matter? Are you sick?" Aether checks his temperature on his forehead. Albedo backs away for a bit. Afraid that he'll get noticed. "I-I'm fine. Anyway, let's go to my favorite spot." He patted his mouth with his own hands. "Alright!" Aether happily agrees. He cannot wait to see the place. 

They walked near at the men's dorm. He didn't even noticed that there's a such a place hidden in the amidst the trees located to the west part of the men's dorm building.

"We have arrived." Aether was really surprised how much beautiful the place is. The garden was well made. It was obvious that it was never neglected. The garden has many Cecilia flower. Just like his sister's favorite flower and his. "Thank you for showing me this beautiful garden. I love it." Aether sincerely smiles at him while looking at the midst of Cecilia's and Windwheel Asters. 

"I am very happy to see my favorite flower!" 

"Correct. I feel the same way when I see the Cecilia's. Back then, the people of Khaenri'ah were very fond of it. It reminds me of my Master." Albedo pats the rattan chair besides him. 

Aether thinks that he suffered more than enough. 

"Would you mind if I sketch you?" say yes, please. Albedo hoped.

"Since my favorite flowers are here, why not! What kind of pose should I make?" 

"Just sit down. A smile is enough." 

Aether think it was gonna take a while since Albedo is sketching him. To his surprise, it only took 20 minutes. This man never failed to surprise him. 

"Already? I thought it was gonna take a while. Can I see them?" As Albedo lent him his sketchbook, Aether was really amazed that the detail was good. Do he even looked this beautiful? 

He looks at Albedo and gave him another hug. "Thank you! I love it so much!" This time, Albedo hugged him back by his waist. After the hug, he blushed a bit. He was really attracted to Albedo's beauty. He's not even tired of staring at him! But if he stares too much, Albedo might think that he's weird. So he avoid staring too much.

Albedo handed him a snack. "I feel like you're about to ask something. What is it?" Wow, Albedo really is sharp, isn't he? "Well, I was about to ask on how'd you know this place. Albedo expected this question. Aether must've noticed that most of the students are forbidden to step foot in the garden. "Actually, my Master was close friends with the co-founder of this university. I know her as well. She took me in after my Master requested her to." 

"Mrs. Alice? My family is also friends with her. I think that is why my parents set this school for me and my sister." Albedo isn't surprise. Alice is an adventurer who met a ton of people on her journey. She even got herself a Husband and a Daughter by it. 

"She's very energetic, isn't she?" 

"I haven't met Mrs. Alice yet, only a few of my family did including my parents."

Albedo checked the time, their conversations were very good. They talked for another 20 minutes. They talked about their hobbies, favorite games, favorite food, and so on. As the bell rang, their conversation were interrupted. Of course, they cannot ignore it. "Seems like we have to go now. Would you like to go to our classes together?" Aether invited him. Albedo happily accepted it. "Thank you, Ae." he smiled.
