Chapter #40: [LIKE A FAIRYTALE]

*Knock!*Knock!*Knock!*

"Shido-kun! Shido-kun!", A voice of a young girl, along with the knocking of the large wooden door, took a young boy out of his thoughts while reading.

Looking around, the room was quite grandiose. The bed was large, and various other decorations littered the room. It looked quite like the bedrooms of those people who're royalties.

"Cecile? What's she doing here?", The red haired boy, Shido, muttered, before getting up from his bed and head towards the door. Opening it, he was greeted by the sight of his smiling friend, Cecile.

Yumie Cecile, the younger sister of Yumie Lisa, being a year younger to her 9 year old prodigious sister. The two are alike, but unlike Lisa's expressionless face, Cecile was bright and full of energy.

"What are you doing here?", Shido asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing~ I just wanted to see you.", The girl sent another bright smile towards Shido, making the boy sigh, but still smile nonetheless.

"You're an odd one... Well, come in then.", He said, before opening the door wider for her to enter.

"Yay~!", Cecile let out a cheery squeal, before hopping into Shido's room.

Shido had been a pampered child, ever since he was born. It was due to the loss of her mother, that his father Matsumoto made sure that he had everything he wanted. Yet despite this, the boy never grew up to be a spoiled brat, instead being curious and adventurous, though he also had quite the uncanny cautiousness and cleanliness that also made him stood out.

It was on accident that Shido had met with Cecile, with him spotting the little girl playing on the dirty pond. Disgusted, Shido had asked on why she was playing on such a dirty area. The only response he got though, was the splash of pond water hitting his face, courtesy of the giggling Cecile.

Angrily, he chased the girl around and sometime, before they knew it, they were laughing and became the closest of friends.

Their bond became closer as their respective Households approved of it, as a potential good familial relations.

"Geez Shido-kun~ You're still as clean as ever.", Cecile teasingly giggled, as she looked around the boy's room.

"Hmph. As a gentleman, I must always be fine and good. That applies to my things too.", Shido harrumphed, closing his eyes and crossing his arms.

"Whatever you say~", Cecile only rolled her eyes to the boy's response.

.....

It was like a dream, the bond of the two strengthened as the years passed. Soon, it would blossom into something beyond just friendship...

... Being best buddies!

Aight, I'mma head out...

As the two reached 13 years old, they were both aware of the warmth that they had felt when they were near each other. Eventually, the moment approached where they would finally be able to tell their love upon each other.

"Cecile... I think I already know the person I love...", Shido said, looking at the girl with eyes of determination. He had gathered all of his courage to say this.

"Me?", Cecile said, giggling mischievously. And just like that, the dramatic effect Shido hoped for crumbled and he became a pouting and embarrassed boy.
