4 idiots and romance

Rex is here

It has been a day since the meeting between Reinhardt and Ryouma. The youngest of the brothers leaned on a wall near an open window as smoke came out of his mouth. Where is he, you ask?

 The youngest of the Crozzos has been asked for a favor from Kiana to help them with a musical play. After all, she was one of the few who knew of his talents and skills. It certainly did not involve a free cup of his favorite blend of coffee. 

"Rex!" Hearing the voice of his energetic friend, the young knight turned around with a cigar in his mouth to see Kiana dressed in mostly white. Rex merely stared at her, the only indication that he was still conscious was the puffs of smoke he exhaled. 

"Well, Kiana idiotka broke the subject Rex." Came the monotone voice of one Bronya Zaychik. 

"Oh my?" Himeko said with a smirk, noticing how the male teen paused at the sight of her surrogate niece/little sister. Strangely, while the Kaslana was dressed in white, the young knight was dressed in dark colors with a light-colored shirt under a dark jacket. 

"So... what did you call me here for?" Asked Rex as he rebooted. It was strange to see his childhood friend rushing to him just as she did when they were younger. It has been years after all. 

"Well..." Kiana said, fiddling with her hands. This action made Rex raise a brow while taking the cigar out. "I want your help to play some instruments for us?" She said while making sure to not look at him, but instead at the ground. 

Taking a quick look at the principal, who shrugged, confirmed his theory. 

"You know that I don't usually play religious songs." He reminded her as he bit his cigar while inhaling some of its smoke. 

"I know, but what if-" Whatever the white cat was gonna say was stopped when she felt a hand on top of her head. Subconsciously, Kiana leaned into his hand and let out a small yet noticeable and pleased purr.

"I'll help. Don't worry," said the crow as he let go of her head. An action that seemed reluctant to both Himeko and Theresa. 

"Thanks, Rex!" Kiana said, immediately hugging her childhood friend tightly while Rex... The young man had made sure to keep his cigar out of the way while making sure she did not crush him. And he totally did not enjoy how soft and warm she felt. 

"Ah! It's you!" Hearing the voice, Rex raised a brow as he felt Kiana's hold tighten while she clung to him. She was adorable and stood by his side before relaxing as she saw who it was. 

"Butterfly?" Rex asked as he saw the girl he showed around the city once they met. He remembered escorting her to the dorms before he went home. 

"Thank you for helping me!" The girl said as she gave him a bow "I'm Seele! Seele Vollerei!" The girl introduced herself while looking at the stoic look of the older male. 

"No problem, just be careful next time," Rex said as he snuffed his cigar in a pocket ashtray. While he was a smoker, he only smoked a small amount every day and week. 

"Thank you for helping Seele," Came from the monotone teen named Bronya.

While Rex was with the girls of St. Freya, 

Reinhardt was with little Rin. The young fox cub was panting heavily as she supported her weight with her wooden katana. Reinhardt looked at her, his muscle shirt clinging onto him as a drop of sweat moved from his forehead. By his side was Yae Kasumi, holding a short blade in a reverse grip with her fox mask having a small cut on the cheek. 

A proud smile was present on the faces of the older pink-haired woman and the young man. In fact, Reinhardt said nothing as a thin cut appeared on his chest, but it was deep enough to draw blood.
