[GL] I tamed the female lead

Chapter 57

Astéria suddenly snapped and the cake stopped levitating before falling into her hand. After catching it, Astéria brought the cake back to my lips and waited for me to take a bite. This made me laugh:

“What are you doing? Don’t tell me that you got jealous of your own powers.
-I did.
-But if it’s your power then you are still the one who is feeding me.
-It doesn’t feel the same.”

I shrugged and continued eating in a good mood. But I had to admit that I was still curious about Astéria’s powers. I wanted to see way more but didn’t want to rush her so I hesitated before asking:

“Will you show me more of your powers later on? Don’t feel rushed, we have time.
-I can show you right now.”

I tried not to look too excited:

“Really? You really don’t have to do it right now if you don’t want to.
-I want to. You always said that you wanted to fly. I have been wanting to grant your wish since then.”

I opened wide eyes:

“You remembered that? I said it so long ago.
-I remember everything you say.
-But wait, do you know how to fly?
-No but I can use telekinézis.”

I jumped up ready to fly and Astéria couldn’t hold back a laugh. I tried being patient but couldn’t help jumping everywhere.

“Are you ready?
-Yes.”

The next second I could feel a warm breeze surrounding my body and I slowly started feeling weightless. It was a very strange feeling as if I was in 0G and I held back my breath. My legs suddenly left the bed and I slowly started levitating. It was a very strange feeling and I had no idea how to describe it. At first I was only levitating a few centimeters from the bed as if Astéria wanted to make sure that I was okay. Seeing my excited face she asked:

“Are you ready for more?”

I needed a few seconds to hear her and quickly nodded.

“Yes!”

The bed started moving further and further away and I had a moment of panic seeing how high I was. If I were to fall from there I would really hurt myself but fortunately the bed was under me so I wouldn’t die. Astéria immediately noticed and I stopped elevating:

“Are you okay?
-Give me a second. I seem to be scared of heights.
-Then I’ll make you come down.”

I started flying down but I screamed:

“No!”

Astéria immediately froze and I laughed awkwardly:

“Sorry. Just give me a second. I want to fly.”

Astéria nodded and after a few seconds I breathed deeply and nodded:

“I’m ready.
-Are you sure? We have all the time in the world.
-I am.”

I continued elevating and slowly started flying around the room. I needed two turns to get used to the feeling but soon spread my arms like a bird. I could feel the wind against my face as I was flying and closed my eyes to enjoy the moment. It was way better than anything I could have ever imagined in my dreams. I was finally flying and I started laughing uncontrollably. 

“This is so cool!”

Astéria didn’t even need to focus to make me fly and only smiled. When did she become so good at magic? After I got used to the movement, Astéria started making me fly randomly from one wall to another and hearing me laugh she even dared make me do a loop in the air. I felt ecstatic and realized that this was crazy. The female lead was making me fly. I had completely trusted her with my body and that made me realize that I still trusted her. I was a bit stressed out about this because without trust I didn’t believe in relationships but I still trusted her after all. Maybe I was crazy but I did.

I would have stayed in the air for hours but suddenly someone knocked on the door and I told Astéria to put me down. Astéria didn’t seem happy judging by her eyes turning from purple to red but she did as she was told and I quickly opened the door seeing Prissy behind it. And she wasn’t happy at all:

“Poehina, Orange. Breakfast has been served half an hour ago. Are you protesting because of the scolding you got yesterday?
-No, no. We just woke up late. We are coming.
-Okay”

I closed the door and turned back towards Astéria. Seeing her eyes I laughed and came to rub her head which made her eyes immediately turn back to purple:

“It was incredible, thank you so much. I can’t believe that I just flew!
-We can continue if you want.
-I would love to but we have to go now because Prissy will tear our heads off.”

Astéria hesitated for a second:

“Do you want me to do something about it?”

I laughed before rubbing her face:

“Don’t, it’s okay. Let’s just go. We’ll have more occasions to play.”

She nodded and we started walking but before we left the room I turned back and frowned:

“You don’t have to but I just had a question: are you going to stay as Astéria? You said that no one knew.
-You said that I shouldn’t change my appearance. 
-But is that okay? What will others say?”

Astéria tilted her head before smiling:

“If there is one thing I learned from you it’s that I don’t care about what other people think. Only you matter.”

I gasped. I did change things. I was so happy.

“You are so cute!”

I rubbed her head with a smile and Astéria’s eyes turned green suddenly.

“Do you still find me cute?
-Of course I do. You are adorable.”

She didn’t seem happy for some reason and I tilted my head:

“What’s wrong?
-I…”

I waited patiently for her to say it and Astéria looked away before pinching her lips:

“I don’t like being called cute.”

I frowned and did my best being understanding:

“I see. Thank you for telling me this, I will stop saying that you are cute. But may I ask why you don’t like it?
-I want to be someone you can rely on.
-This has nothing to do with you being cute or not.
-But you said you liked imposing people…”

She talked so low that I couldn’t hear and asked her to repeat but Astéria looked away.

“Then what can I call you if you are not cute?
-I…”

I smiled. Nothing changed after she told me the truth. It was almost weird how normal things were.

“Is anything else good?
-Yes.
-Okay, then. And what should I call you? Orange or Astéria?
-As you wish.”

I thought about it for a second.

“I used to call you Angie from time to time. I could call you Angie. It’s between the two. What do you think?
-I like it.
-Perfect.”
