"Good morning." Giving her close friend a small smile, the Ultimate Gambler bowed her head. A
"Good morning." He seemed to be nervous. "What's wrong, (y/n)? You seem to be quite tense. Is something the matter?" Oh, the Ultimate Dealer loved the way his name sounded when it was accompanied by her voice.
"I actually am a bit nervous." Looking around the classroom, he searched for an excuse. He didn't want to talk about it. Not yet. Not in that classroom. "And the reason for that is?" Celestia tilted her head to the side, now more than just curious.
"You know... I..." The words got stuck in his throat, making him feel like he wasn't able to breathe. 'Take a deep breath. If you get nervous, she'll immediately know that something is up.' Internally, he was as calm as the sea. The (h/c) haired male cleared his throat.
"It's nothing, please don't worry about me. Maybe I can tell you in a few days." He realized that, the way he had worded it, it sounded like he was going to die. Which he wasn't going to, fortunately. Unfortunately for him, though, Celestia wasn't satisfied with that answer.
"And you want me to believe such nonsense? I am not an idiot, if you have not noticed that." Her voice grew a little colder. "If there is something you wish to talk about, you can do that. But do not tell me that everything is alright. I have a good pair of eyes."
The Ultimate Gambler didn't know why she was being so angry. Normally, she didn't care about her classmates' feelings. If someone told her that it was none of her business, she would happily turn away and end the conversation right then and there. Why did that change?
"I know, Celestia..." He sighed, covering his face with his hands for a few seconds. "I'm just... Well, I'm embarrassed, that's all. I don't want to talk about it... And I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel stupid or something like that." To his surprise, she let out a laugh.
"I only told you that I'm not stupid, not that I feel stupid. You wouldn't be able to make me feel that way, trust me." She chuckled once more, a hand in front of her lips. "Ah... Well... I... I'm glad to hear that, I guess...?"
Everything about her made him stutter. Her laugh, her smile, her appearance. Everything. Especially in moments like these, were he was already embarrassed enough. "Why are you stuttering, all of a sudden? Did I say something shocking?" The slight smirk on her face made it obvious that she knew about his embarrassment.
"No, you didn't say anything weird... I think..." Another sigh escaped his lips. 'It's so hard to get out of situations like these, I can't stand the tension...' To make things even worse, his cheeks began to redden. Great. He was probably looking like an idiot at that moment.
"Are you sure?" Slowly, the Ultimate Gambler stood up from her chair, now standing in front of him. "I am, don't worry about it..." (Y/n) didn't dare to move. While he wasn't usually the shy type, he still felt much more vulnerable in front of her. He was crazy in love.
"Celestia... You asked me why I was being nervous... Well, I still am..." His voice was somehow a little timid. "Yes, I did ask you, but don't say a thing..." She slowly got closer to him, her nose slightly touching his. "Is it because of me, (y/n)?" "Yes..."
