AFTER ATLANTES AND EDA reluctantly agreed to help, they all got to work on creating Alessia's science project.
It took a few hours, and a lot of having to snap Atlantes out of staring at Alessia, but they finally finished it.
They were at Alessia's home, and Eda was playing with her family's dog in the front yard while Alessia and Atlantes were in the kitchen watching them.
The dog ran right into Eda's legs and set her face-first into the ground, her bright orange puffy hair flopping onto the ground with her. Atlantes and Alessia glanced at each other before bursting out laughing as Eda got back up and jumped at the dog again.
"Your friend there is a riot, you know." Alessia smiled, pressing the rim of her cup to her lips and looking over at Atlantes.
"I'm aware," Atlantes says as his laugh peters out, wiping his eyes of the tears.
"So, uh..." Alessia starts, setting her cup down and tracing her finger around the rim, looking up at Atlantes nervously. "Are you two... you know..."
"What? Oh, Titan, no!" Atlantes cringes, shaking his head in disgust. "Eda's just been a good friend of mine since... basically forever. We met through her sister." He chuckles, then raises a brow. "Why do you ask?"
Alessia nervously laughs, looking away. "Pfft, no reason!" She looks around and quickly changes the subject, "So, what's it like in... Witchland?"
Atlantes snorts, "Witchland?"
Alessia blushes, stuttering, "Well, I never learned what it's called!"
"It's the Boiling Isles," He chuckles, "and it's about as pleasant as you can expect for somewhere called the Demon Realm."
"The Demon Realm?" Alessia asks in awe, when Atlantes nods, she chuckles. "So, what do you do there?" She asks, walking around the island to sit on the stool right next to Atlantes, leaning her forearms on the counter.
He swallows thickly but pushes down his blush. "I tell you about another realm and the first thing that you ask me about is what I do day-to-day?"
"Well, I think I should get to know the person who I'm obviously winning the science fair with," Alessia smirks, tilting her head towards him.
"Oh. Well, I guess I can tell you a little bit..."
Alessia turns her body towards him, a curious smile gracing her lips. Atlantes chuckles and places a hand on his chin to think.
