You and Me II Cynonari

|| Serious talk ||

Cyno POV

'So Collei what do you want to talk about?' I asked. Collei sat next to me on the bed and said: "It's about the past..."

I knew it. I am the trigger for her.

'Am I the trigger that causes you to remember the past?' I asked. Collei was surprised to hear what I said. She said: "H-How did you know?" I said: "I noticed it quite a while ago, but I wasn't confirmed yet."

......

It stayed silent.

Collei took a deep breath and said: "I-I know I should leave it behind, but it just follows me everywhere. My Eleazar is a reminder of it. You are kind of a part of the trigger. But it also reminds me that I am free from 'The Doctor'. And that I am safe now."

I was quite surprised that she was able to speak about it, she never was comfortable to speak about this topic.

'It's okay Collei, it takes time to leave the past. If you need any help I will be here to help and I am sure Tighnari also will help.' I said with a little smile.

'You smiled!' Collei said. 'I can smile if I want to.' I replied.

'Thank you Cyno, for listening.' Collei said with a smile. 'No problem.' I replied.

....

Should I ask her? She is here so this could be my chance. But what if she thinks I am weird because I have this type of feeling? Wtf am I saying. I am General Mahamatra. If I can fight people why can't I ask it?

I took a deep breath and said: "Collei, I want to ask you something." 'What is it?' Collei asked with a question on her face. I said: "I have this weird kind of feeling. I always have this feeling when I am with Tighnari. My face becomes red and I have a weird feeling in my stomach. It does not hurt or is painful. It a good kind of feeling that I can't place right. My heart also would beat really fast. And I just don't know what this feeling is."

It stayed silent.

I looked at Collei and she looked at me with an open mouth it looked like she was frozen. I waved my hand in front of her and asked: "Collei? Are you there?" Collei stopped being frozen and began to speak: "Hihi. I didn't know The General Mahamatra liked master Tighnari." I froze when I heard that. Me? Liking Tighnari?

Collei noticed I was in shock and poked my arm and said: "Hellooo Cyno, are you there?"

My face turned a bit pink and I said: "Y-Yeah I am fine." 'Are you shocked?' Collei asked. 'I? Shocked? For what?' I replied. 'Well that I said you liked master Tighnari.' Collei said.

'Well I...' And I paused. I don't know what to say. Do I really like Tighnari?

'I don't know what to say. I am confused.' I said. 'Well I am obviously the expert here. I have read enough romance books to know if someone is in love or not.' Collei said proudly.

'Does Tighnari likes me?' I asked. 'Well uhm.. I-I don't know.' Collei replied. 'Master Tighnari never speaks about love. I can ask him about his feelings for you.' Collei continued. 'N-No! Don't..' I said. 'I don't want to ruin our friendship if he isn't interested in me..' I said. 'But then you never know about his feelings! You should give a try. How earlier you know about his feelings how earlier you can move on or start a relationship with him.' Collei said. Collei noticed I was still considering about it. So she told me: "I don't want you to keep your feelings for yourself. It will eat you up I am telling you. You are going to regret everything when he actually liked you but moved forward because he didn't wanted to ruin the friendship."

I was shocked to hear what she said. What if he actually liked me but moved forward because he didn't wanted to ruin our friendship. No I don't want that. I want him. I want to be with him.

'Okay. I am going to do it.' I said. Collei looked very hyped and teased me with the question: "What are you going to do?" 'I... I am going to confess my feelings to Tighnari.'
