Intensity [Book 3]

067

Aster softly groans, as his eyes flutters open. He sat up from the couch, as he adjusted his eyes to his surroundings.

He was still was in the classroom, the lamp in the corner of the classroom dimly glowing the place.

The third year thought Kyo left him here, it wouldn't have been the first, but it slightly freaked him out. Until he turned his head to his left, seeing the second year glancing at him with his usual expression.

"Aster" Kyo spoke with a slight hesitation and restraint. As he crosses his arms against his chest. With a slight gentle hum from his partner, he continues. "Did your parents kill mine?" He bluntly asked, deadly staring at the third years eyes.

The third year blanked a few times, before tilting his head to the side slightly. "Huh?" He stated with confusion, as the short male grumbles a deep sigh.

He stood up from the couch, turning to glance down at the male sitting on the couch. "Did your parents kill my real ones" He stated once more, this time more harsh and irritated.

"I... i don't know" Aster gently spoke towards the second year. Even though he is much taller than the other male, he still feels so much smaller when Kyo gives him a death glare.

"You don't remember anything about your first visit to the cycle with your parents?" He spoke clearly, as he saw the memory flash across his partners face.

"I..." Aster hesitates, as his breathing rapidly picks up. Swallowing a lump of air down his throat, avoiding eye contact with the male in front of him.

"I didn't know what I was doing Kyo, I was only like, 10? 9?... I was still trying to impress my parents and I wanted to help them..." He spoke with ramble, as he fumbles with his fingers, staring down at his lap.

"So, your parents did kill mine... and you even helped them" Kyo spoke out, as the classroom soon fell silent.

Until footsteps was heard heading towards the classroom door, gaining the third to be alerted and glance his head upwards, as he sees Kyo heading towards the classroom door.

"Wait! Kyo? Your not just going to leave me, right?" The third year quickly spoke, as he tumbles to stand from the couch. The second year didn't respond, causing Aster to speed walk over towards the shorter male.

He grabs a hold of the young boy's arms, causing him to stop in his tracks; not daring looking back.

"Kyo?" Aster spoke with a shaky voice, as his breathing became heavier.

"Let me go Aster" Kyo spoke blankly, slightly calmer than before.

"No.. I need to know your not going to break up with me" He spoke out, not getting a quick response from the short male, which made his mind panic.

"Kyo, I need to know—" He started speaking again, but getting off by a response he didn't want to hear ever.

"Maybe we should" Kyo stated blankly, as he rip his arm from Aster's hand. Walking out of the classroom, leaving a broken hearted third year inside.

Aster tumbled back towards the classroom's couch, as his hands shook gently and his breathing gets caught in his throat. Tears started to flow down his cheeks, as he allows them to seep through his shirt or pants.

He picks up his legs, putting them close to his chest, as light sobs escape his throat. His heart was aching, it was a bad feeling to feel.

And without even realizing it, Aster fell into a deep sleep.

When the third year woke up, he slept for the whole day mostly. Having Aia be in the iluna classroom by this time.

"Aster? Are you okay? You slept for the whole day" She voiced out, concern lacing her voice, as she glances at the male with worry and concerns.

"Mm.." He hums gently, as he sits up on the couch, his eyes looks down at his lap.

The third year girl softly sighs, as she stands up from the chair she was sitting on. Heading towards her friend; who was sitting on the couch. She bend her knees to touch the ground, as she glances up at the males face.

"Aster? You've been crying!? What's wrong? What happened?" Aia spoke softly with concern, noticing the third year males puffy red eyes with a slightly blushful face.

The third year male didn't respond, as Aia patiently waits for a reply to her question or questions.

"Oh.." Aster gently spoke out, still in a slight haze from the night before. He just felt empty and sad.

"Okay, something isn't right here" Maria walks in the classroom while saying, gaining Aia's attention; but aster didn't glanced the second years way.

"Oh? Okay, what happened with him and Kyo!?" Maria spoke, as she walks closer the two. Having her arms crossed against her chest.

"I have no clue, but it seems bad because Aster slept for the whole day in here... or that's what I was told." Aia stated, glancing at the male with a soften expression. Before she rose up from off the ground.

The two ladies strolls outside of the classroom, so they could leave Aster be for some time and to chat with one another.

"So... Maria... I think they broke up" Aia voiced out first, as they get right outside of the classroom door.

"Yeah, I was thinking so too because when I asked Kyo if he had plans with Aster this week he said "I'll rather not be around him right now"." She spoke.

"But what made them break up? Kyo isn't that type of person to just break up with Aster off the spot without a reason..." Aia claims, as she softly hums in thought of what happened to their friend's relationship.

"I did try to speak to Kyo, but he only asked me to change the subject.." Maria exclaims with a soft sigh.

"Mm.. maybe we should give them two space for some time, until they tell one of us what happened" Aia stated with a firm nod, Maria also agreeing with that idea.
