Intensity [Book 3]

065

The teacher talked to the third year students, as she gives them basic rules and instructions of what they are going to do in her class.

Just like every Iluna member, the star boy had other friends outside of the iluna friend group.

"Psst, Aster, do you know the rumor going around about you and Kyo's relationship?" A gentle male spoke, as he glances at the another third year. Gaining his attention, as he glances back at his friend.

"Like, you and Kyo aren't soulmates anymore?" He stated afterwards, as Aster blankly stares at this friend of his for a few seconds. Before everything processed in his mind of what he just stated.

"What?" The third year smooth voice spoke out with concern and confusion. As his friend softly hums with a nod, as he glances back at their professor.

"Well, I think Yayo started the rumor? I don't even know who the fuck is yayo, but those first years seem to love him" His friend stated, before turning his attention back towards Aster.

Aster glazes his eyes towards a clock on a wall, as his confusion continued. While his demeanor slightly changed, being tensed up with a slight nervousness.

His heart started beating faster with his breath softly comes in an uneven rhythm. Unwanted memories resurfaced in his brain, as being dragged to get his soulmate changed from cops with the cops being a trigger for the worse memory to slip into his mind.

The third year male was so dazed into the dark memory that he didn't notice the bell going off with his friend calling out his name. Not noticing he was shaking in fear, sweating from the heat rising, and his breath going more off center with his heartbeat speeding up.

"ASTER!" His friend yelled out, not caring about the attention he brought to himself. As he lightly shake the frozen third year.

With the sudden shake and yell, the third year snapped into reality. Letting out a breath he didn't know he was holding, as he glances at his friends worried facial expression.

"Are you okay? Do you need to go to the nurse? I can take you there if you want? Or do you need Kyo? If so I can text him or something" His friend spoke out in a quick manner, as he knew he got the male's attention.

"No.. I'm fine, sorry" Aster stated softly, glancing down at the ground to avoid the look of concern implemented into his friends eyes.

His friend softly sighs, as he pats the third years hair gently. "You don't need to be sorry Aster, we're friends, so if anything I have the right to be concerned about you at the moment.. but if you don't want or feel comfortable right now to talk about it, that's totally fine by me" he stated sweetly, adding some type of easiness towards the third year male.

He glances at his friend with a gentle small smile, while his friend gave a just as soft small while patting his hair smoothly. "Now, get some rest tonight got it, I'll go to your dorm tomorrow for our project" He exclaims, as he walks back over towards his things.

"Okay" Aster stated, as he shifts his notebook inside his backpack. Before swinging his backpack over his shoulder, as his friend and him heads out of the classroom, with the teacher quickly saying 'have a nice day' and them returning the quick response.

In a semi-crowded hallway, a group of first years girls rushed over towards Aster. As the quickly spoke towards him with love into their eyes as they looked at him.

Also cutting his friend and his conversation off, which his friend didn't appreciate.

This quick interaction slightly startled the third year, as he glances at the males with confusion.

"Aster, I've been dying to meet you! I know you and Kyo aren't soulmates anymore, so why don't you be mine!" One girl spoke in awe, as she grabs the third years arm.

"No no, be mine soulmate Aster! I'm so much richer than her and so much better than your old soulmate anyways" Another girl stated, as other girls talked over each other with more "reason" as to why aster should supposedly choose them as their "new" soulmate.

Noticing the slight fear into the third years eyes and how comfortable Aster was, his friend stopped walking, causing Aster and the group of girls to stop walking too.

"Listen here you first year richies" His friend spoke up, gaining the girl's attention. "Leave him the fuck alone, him and Kyo our still soulmates you dumb bitches" He sternly spatted out, as he pulls the third year away from the group of girls.

Before the girls could make their protest or claims, Aster's friend dragged him away from the group of girls. Heading in the a direction where Kyo could possibly be at.

And as his friend thought, Kyo was in the iluna club room while playing some game on his phone.

"Yo Kyo!" The third year friend spoke, gaining the small male's attention with a glance. As the tall male was slightly in front of his face.

The second year scanned the two males, as he pauses his game with a confused expression on his face. "What happened?" Kyo finally spoke up, as he stands up from the couch.

"Well, you heard the rumor about you and Aster not being soulmates anymore?" The taller third year spoke, Aster tenses up from the mention.

Kyo eyes slightly widen, but also confused about that information. "What?... Who?" Kyo spoke, as his attention focused on the taller third year.

"Yayo..." He replied with, slightly confused and concerned. As he glances at the slightly nervous male beside him.

"Mm.." Kyo stated with a slight nod up of the head, as he glances at his lover.

"You alright?" The second year spoke smoothly, as he steps closer towards the tall male.

Aster only managed a nodded, as he glances at Kyo. The smaller male didn't really show any emotion about the rumor, but only worry and concern about Aster at the moment.

"Alright, I have to get going, I have work to attend to" The taller third year male spoke, gaining the attention of the couple.

"Okay, bye" Kyo simply replied, causing the taller male to cross his arms with a playful roll of his eyes.

"Don't gotta be so dull Kyo, but bye" He spoke, gaining Kyo to roll his eyes. Before patting Aster's head, "see you tomorrow" he stated before he heads out of the iluna club room.

Kyo return his focused his attention towards his lover. As they stayed a silence for a bit.

"Tired?" Kyo soft voice breaking the silence, gaining the tall males attention. While the small male plops back down onto the couch, before patting his right thigh twice. Signaling the third year male to rest his head.

Aster pushed his backpack off his shoulder, as he snuggly got on the couch. Planting his head down onto Kyo's thigh, closing his eyes shut. Allowing the second year to smoothly glaze his hands through his hair, as the third year falls asleep.
