"so..." odius coughs, "i'll see you next class."

"tomorrow, you mean? It's like, noon right now."

his shoulders are slightly drooped, posture hunched in a way that make him look slightly bashful.

"yes, right... oh!" he squeaks an embarrassing when the pad of your finger comes in contact with the scar, tracing the heart. slowly drawing downwards until you reach his chest. his breath hitches when you slightly pinch the sensitive buds, watching his chest expand and contract, the drawing slightly warping around his skin.

"i... i need to catch up on paperwork."

you hummed, "aw, too bad," you ceased your touches, moving to instead button his shirt back, tugging his collar until it looked slightly less disheveled.

"wished i could see what other embarrassing things i could make you do, next time then?"

"there'll be a next time---? oh but i doubt that'll happen. i am a very busy man."

you sighed, his snooty personality is back. it was nice while it lasted.

"sure, see ya professor."

you closed the door on your way out, keeping it shut behind your back. you're not that much of an asshole.

you climbed downstairs, footsteps light and fast both with hurry and momentum, if you accidentally crash into someone, you'd accidentally take the person down with you.

then, you crashed into someone, the two of you almost fell but a third party was there to keep you two from falling but not keep the other from dropping all their books to the floor.

you stepped back, using the wall to support you as you watched the person with blonde hair pick their books from the floor, eventually she got up with everything in arms, your eyes meeting pastel pink irises. it was the blondie you met during the entrance exams.

you pray that she is oblivious to the noises you two (actually, only odius) made.

"lady aldebrand! are you okay?" a voice exclaims, said lady was currently blushing from embarrassment.

then you see it, fringes curling around her face like a halo, circling around a round face with pinkish lips, equally round eyes and a button nose. she has this weird aura that... made you feel kind of weird. she has a heart shaped mole under her eye.

she looks familiar.

then, a cough snaps you back to reality. you finally notices vampire guy, who is currently accompanying her and glaring at you.

"what are you doing here?" he snarls.

"i could say the same about you." you return the energy.

the girl blinks, seemingly over her previous embarrassment, then looks at you with a apologetic smile.

"i'm sorry about him. we were going to help our teacher retrieve these books back into their office until we head noises." shit, they weren't oblivious.

"me and the professor had an argument."

"oh! okay!"

"what kind of argument?" nosy bitch.

"... about extracurricular?" you're technically not wrong.

she let out a long 'oh!', nodding to herself "the professor is very stubborn in regards to that."

"yeah, but thankfully i managed to... convince him and we reached an agreement." you were sweating bullets right now.

"that seems--" he began to contradict only to get shushed by you, raising a hand to his face.

"it's not that important, rosie. all that matters is that it's over and we need to move on."

"rosie...oh! do you two know eachother?" she tilted her head, giggling at the nickname.

"somewhat / absolutely not." you turned to look at eachother, both with differing expressions of 'really?'.

"oh cinders, did something happen?"

"nothing that should concern you." despite his choice of words, he managed to say it in a way that didn't sound sarcastic. so he can be polite, huh.

"well, i hope you two can figure it out! i'll let you two catch up. i'll see you soon brahmsy!" she waved to rosie, well, 'brahmsy'. skipping off to wherever with surprising amount of speed.

"brahmsy... huh." you drawled out.

"you're not allowed to call me that--- of all people." he seethed, his eyes narrowing in a way that could intimidate anyone in their right mind

thankfully or not, you're not that guy.

"aw, you prefer the nickname i gave you? awww rosie! i'm so touched!"

"brahm! my name is brahm! for the love of light--- brahm eugene flanagan, son of crimm rogue flanagan, one of the---" you cut him off

"i know your full name and we're on first name basis! wow, i feel so connected to you. we must be soulmates or something, i mean---" you began to ramble,

his face began to contort, you could basically feel the heat radiating off him, letting out waves of with embarrassment and anger.

"i swear to ash i will---" he was interrupted once again by your increasing volume in voice, it reminded you of when you used to tease nicky... what happened during knight academy?

your rambling came to a close when he pushed his hand to your mouth, trying to muffle whatever it was you were talking about. which, in turn you bit his fingers.

"ow!!! what the ash?" he immediately yanked his hand away from you, holding his wrist to his chest.

"oh jod, just say fuck like a normal person." you groaned.

"why would i sully my vocabulary with filth? i'm not a barbarian, unlike---"

"it's fun! dumbass." man, you miss your banters with nicky. you almost forgot how fun it was to annoy and fluster people with your bullshit.

before he could retort you began to walk away from the conversation, you almost forgot your bag at school--- plus, maybe you could check up on nicholas and see if he stayed true to his word.

"where do you think you are you going? i'm not finished." he grabbed your arm.

"grab my bag? because i almost forgot it at class?"

"which one?" he narrows his eyes, disbelieving.

"i think it was... foraging?"

his eyes widen for a momenr, "oh cinders," he facepalmed, you immediately tensed at the action, oh no. don't tell me. if this conversation is going that you think it's going...

"wait... you're..."

"i need to return that book about fungi i borrowed during the identification lecture. if you keep the way there as civil as possible, we can both forget this ever happened."

jod damn it.

"alright... lead the way." you slump, defeated, which earned you an odd look before brahm began to take his path towards foraging.

[brahm thinks you're an annoyance that he can't escape from.]

fourth yan, thoughts? (and prayers), he is quite feisty (augh, but it fits). unfortunately, aldebrand is not a LI but you will see her more often.
