Hidden Wonder

Date night

~

I wake in the morning, again from Gavyn banging on my door. Groaning I answer it.

"Can't we push training back like two more hours." I whine

He laughs for a moment and then his face quickly gets serious
"No."

I scowl at him, slamming the door in his pretty face. Ass... after Getting ready we head back down to the field and train for the day. The groups did a little better today with their conjuring, Some improving more than others. All I can tell them is to really focus on the binds and continue to practice. You need to work for what you want.

I haven't had any combat training with Gavyn or Ryder since Ive been here, granted I only started training yesterday, but I'm excited to improve my skills. Hours later the trainees get sent back to their barracks as the session comes to an end. Butterflies in my stomach as excitement and nerves course through me.

To be honest I don't think I've ever been asked on a date. It's only ever been sloppy one night stands, of course I'm nervous and honestly it doesn't matter what we do, I don't really care about that sort of thing.

Again Gavyn sneaks up on me and whispers in my ear
"I'll be at your door at 7 sharp firefly, be ready."

I feel my face flush and my stomach soar. Don't puke don't puke.

"I'll see you then." I smile and he walks ahead of me. I make the decision to head to Ryders office, I haven't seen him around and.. well.. I think I miss him. I miss being around him and hearing his voice. I guess I never realized how busy a King could be.

Knocking on his door he tells me to come in. He's sitting at his desk rubbing his hand through his hair. He looks tired, stressed. It makes my heart ache to see him like this.

"Are you alright?."

He looks at me and smiles
"I am now."
The ache is quickly replaced with a warm buzz.

"Do you have time to talk?"

He gives me a serious look
"Of course, is everything okay?"

"Yes...um.. I just wanted to talk to you about something."

The guilt of how I'm feeling towards both Gavyn and Ryder is eating at me. I know Fae don't care about this kind of thing but i don't want to hurt anyone... and I don't want to drive a wedge between them either.

"The floor is yours sweetheart."
I smile. And swallow through my dry throat.

"I don't really know how to go about saying this... so I'm just going to spit it out..." His eye brow is raised, now that I'm looking closely at him I can see truly how exhausted he looks. Maybe I should wait... but the guilt is eating at me. So I spit out my word vomit.

"Gavyn....asked me on a date... and we... sort of kissed..." I clear my throat and avert my eyes, scared of looking into Ryders and seeing anger. Until he starts laughing.

"That fucker." He laughs again. Slapping his hand on his desk. I'm stuck in my seat with my eyes wide and mouth slightly opened.... Is he going insane? I know when humans go without sleep some go crazy, start Hallucinating, can that happen with supernatural species?

"Uhh... what's happening right now." I say

Catching his breath he looks at me with a genuine smile.

"Well he told me days ago he had an interest in you, though I thought he didn't have a shot. It seems I was wrong." He smirks

"I...I can cancel, or, uh....This is.. I don't know what to do..." my palm lands on my face hiding my embarrassment. Atleast I'm honest right?
