School's Blessing

Chapter 8 - Time to Wake Up

Tessia POV

OH MY GOD WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!

I just finished saying goodbye to Art after our date night ended. After deceiving both Director Goodsky and Grandpa and paying off the restaurant to give us an isolated space, we managed to get the exact outcome I wanted.

BUT I NEVER EXPECTED ARTHUR TO BE THE ONE WHO WOULD CONFESS!

He's usually so dense and never notices my advances, but now he just came out and told me he LOVED ME!

I reached my dorm room and opened the door, throwing myself on the bed and shouting into my pillow.

"He said he loved me! I love him, I love him so much AAAAA!" My screeching was barely audible, being no more than a muffled voice.

I could feel my face burning up from happiness. Not only are we dating, WE ARE ENGAGED!

I looked at the bracelet Art gave me. Silver gems making up the circlet, with a shimmering crystal leaf pendant hanging from it.

I kicked my legs around, barely able to contain my excitement. This means we get to hang around each other as much as we want, we can eat together whenever we want, we can slee-

NOPE, TO EARLY TESSIA... Well, we can cuddle together though...

I giggled into the pillow as I felt my face was burning hot.

After a few minutes I finally decided to put on my pyjamas and went to sleep with a massive grin still on my face.

See you tomorrow, my fiancé!

...

Waking up the next morning, I immediately started my daily routine. I took a shower, got dressed, did my hair and got my various items in my dimensional ring in order for the day.

As I walked out of my room, a genius idea popped into my head.

I should go and wake up Art!

Being the Student Council President, I always woke up far earlier than everyone else. This meant that Arthur was most likely still asleep.

I picked up the pace as I walked to his room, humming a happy tune as I went. Finally arriving at his door I knocked three times, trying to wake him up.

"Good morning Art, time for you to wake up!" I shouted just loud enough for only him to be able to hear me.

I didn't get an answer.

Damn that habit of his!

I knocked a few more times as I called out to him.

"Come on Arthur, don't you wanna spend ti-" As I knocked, I tried pushing on the doorknob, which opened to my surprise.

But aren't these artifacts supposed to be linked only to the-

Mental note: Thank Director Goodsky later

I grinned at the devilish actions my mentor had taken as I opened the door fully.

I was met with a stunning room, just as nice as my own. In the middle of this luxurious suite was a large bed.

And laying in that bed was Arthur and Sylvie, both of them sleeping like babies.

The two of them looked so cute together. Arthur was laid on his side, with one of his arms over Sylvie's body, and his auburn hair covers a part of his face.

Well, I did say we could cuddle... Right?

I took my boots off as I layed down on the opposite side of the bed from him, slowly scuttling closer to his prone body. I took the second pillow on the bed and laid my head down.
