Bell the white core mage (Being rewritten)

Evening the odds

Bell POV

"You're a level 7!" Miach yelled after giving Zald his falna. He was then shushed by Zald and me as people were sleeping.

"Sorry. But wow I thought there were only a few level 7s left in the world" Miach said setting the paper down.

"Aye, there is. But the empire has a few of them as well. Don't know what's going on there but it ain't nothing good" Zald said.

"So Zeus wiped what you did from everyone's memories as well?" Miach asked.

"That he did. Wants me to look out for the boy as well. Looks like the old man really cared for you since he resurrected me" Zald said.

"Are you angry you were resurrected?" I asked.

"No lad. If it means protecting Materia and Silvers boy then I'm glad to be of use" Zald replied.

"Well good your help will be needed Freya has her eyes on me," I said.

"Ah, the bitch who can't keep her legs closed. That's gonna be a problem lad I can't be everywhere at once" Zald said.

"Bell actually has a plan for that," Miach said. We were all sitting around a table in the living room. The fireplace providing some lighting in the dark room.

"Huh smart as well. You sure you're Silvers boy" he asked letting out a chuckle.

"I had Alfia help raise me you think she wouldn't let anything short of perfect be acceptable" I joked back. He let out a hearty laugh before turning serious.

"So what's the plan you've thought of boy," Zald asked.

I reached my new room at about two in the morning. I opened the door and saw a bed that was twice the size of my old one. It had white sheets with a red cover and pillow casings. The carpet was an extravagant purple that covered the whole floor. My nightstand was on my left side and my table was pressed against a wall on the right side of the room farthest away from the bed.

I looked up and saw the ceiling wasn't made of marble but of a fancy type of wood that I didn't know the name of.

Knock knock knock

I heard someone knock on my door. I took my knife and put it on my table before I opened the door and saw Aisha standing there.

"Come in. It's time I answer you" I said. She nodded her head and walked in taking a seat on my bed as I shut the door. "Beds comfy," she said as she bounced on it.

I sat down next to her and grabbed her hand in mine surprising her. "Everything alright?" She asked.

"Aisha you know I care for you right?" I asked as I looked into her eyes. She saw the nervousness and seriousness in them and nodded.

"I-I-I care deeply for you. For everyone in our familia. I love hanging out with everyone. I love exploring the dungeon with them. I love our celebrations and I love the memories we make-

"Bell it's ok to say no. I won't be hurt" Aisha cut me off.

"That's the thing I don't want to say no. But I also don't know how to love like that. I don't know how to love you the way you want. It was just me, my grandpa, and my aunt and that was it. No village or anything just us. I told you when we met I don't know how to show affection like that"

I then turned to face her. "But I don't want to keep you waiting. I want to try to at least learn. Or to make you happy in some way. Because I think you're an amazing woman Aisha. I really do-

Aisha cut me off by moving my face up to hers and kissing my lips. This time it wasn't a quick peck like at the wargame but she leaned into it more. I was caught off guard for a moment before I kissed back. After a minute or so we parted and she smiled at me the moonlight shining directly on her.
