'You, Belong To Me." / Yandere Ayato x Thoma / Highschool AU

- Chapter ~ 5

I apologize that I stopped the updates all of a sudden for over a whole month, due to personal reasons, Wattpad was blocked for me for a month. I hope this chapter can pay as compensation <3 (I have changed my writing style to more descriptive so please bare with me) 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thoma was helped onto his bed by Ayato, who examined the near emptiness yet cleanliness of the dorm.

"Sorry, I haven't really gotten around to any decorating or furniture."

"Hm, that is.. no problem." Saying that, Ayato walked towards his desk and saw his half-open drawer, his gaze locked onto the letter with a heart on top, but since he didn't want to seem like a creep, he backed away, pushing the drawer in.

Thoma noticed he saw the letter and only sweat a little
"Say, you probably have a lot of admirers, don't you?"

"All the time, why do you ask?"

"Well.. It is my first time receiving something from a secret admirer. "

"Oh?.." Ayato slightly looked down, but Thoma didn't notice.

"How do you do with these... Overly complimenting letters? I am not sure if I have any proper feelings towards the gesture yet, but it seemed.. like a stalker, and that creeped me out."

"Stalker? Hm.. I usually ignore them, it's most likely a fangirl who means no harm."
Ayato's words sounded almost calm but his expression said otherwise, he looked annoyed for some reason, and Thoma didn't pay much mind to it. It was probably that Thoma was starting to get a lot of attention and that annoyed Ayato thinking that Thoma will take his place, right? Thoma decided to not question it further, even in his own thoughts.

"Perhaps, if she ever feels like confessing or if you find out who she is, you can inform her about your feelings."

"Yeah.. It's not the easiest feeling." Thoma said, looking down.

"You'll need to get used to it," Ayato responded with a slight chuckle in his voice. His expression faded from annoyed to a.. Weird smile? It didn't seem genuine.

"Get used to it?.. What do you mean?"

"Well, it's only natural, You're a good-looking man, with quick wits that follow after."

Thoma felt his face heat up on those words, they felt more than just a few compliments, Thoma had always been complimented, why was this new?
"H..huh.. I.. See.."
Thoma wanted to cover his face, feeling embarrassed, complimented, and flustered at the same time. His ears went bright red as Ayato internally smiled. How adorable. If Thoma was a dog, much to Ayato's fondness, his tail would be wagging a lot.

"Heh, You seem overly flustered."

"I.."

"Surely you've been complimented before, no?"

It was true, Thoma had been complimented a lot, but it seemed so different, so blissful to be complimented by Ayato. What the hell was happening to him?

"I.. I have.. It just caught me off guard."

Ayato frowned just a bit but only for a few seconds before the same smirk overtook his unmistakably.. Handsome face.. Thoma couldn't even stop thinking like that now.

"So, I am not the first? Well, I suppose its no surprise."

That felt like a compliment too, Thoma slightly straightened his back and covered his mouth, his face beet red.
