Stargazing【Zane X Reader】[ Ongoing ]

[ Chapter 40 ]

Y/n's pov.

" I haven't had steamed buns for so long! " I see Cathleen dive in and take a big bite of the steamed bun and I see there's chicken fillings.

" You need to slow down, my lady, too much might make you puke " the manservant behind her said.

He has dark brown hair and light blue eyes.

" I'll be okay Dean, I'm just really hungry " she said with a mouthful.

" Best to take it down a few notches " he said as he use a napkin and take away the buns from her hands with no hesitation.

" Dean! " She whines pouts and get up from the chair.

He just smiles and walk away as she tails him.

" B-but their steamed buns! "

I chuckle and just stay seated on this chair with my glass of water, in front of me is Zane sipping his tea.

" Aren't you hungry? " I asked, he avert his eyes up to me once I spoke.

" I'm still full from the skewer Cathleen bought " she said.

" Oh, okay " I said and awkwardly lean back on my chair.

Fiddling my sphere glass.

" What were you gonna tell me? " my eyes avert up to him quickly.

" Huh? " I asked.

" Yesterday with Ein, you were going to explain? " He asked.

" Oh right " I said and sigh lightly.

Sitting here as I think and try to figure out a better way to tell him, I don't know if I'm supposed to tell him since only the queen and gramps knows and my family. Telling him wouldn't change anything either, however he hasn't answered my question as well.

" Why don't you go first? " I look up at him and he furrowed his eyebrows.

" What do you mean? " He asked.

" Why did you do it? " I slightly bite my bottom lip with nervousness and I saw the tint color on his cheeks again.

I assume mine's doing the same because the weather is cold and my face feels warm, although I don't know if it's from the food I've been eating either.

" I felt like I had to " he said.

It was my turn to look at him in confusion as if it was a trick answer because I avoided his question, spinning the sphere in my palm is making me more anxious and wanting to press him for a clear answer. Like he's hiding something.

" That's all?, You just felt like you needed to do that? " I asked.

Examining half of his face since he wears the mask, trying to see if there's any expression.

A hesitation.

" Because I also wanted to "

I sit here still dumbfounded, I can't tell if that's even an answer, more like a statement.

" Your turn to answer my question " he said.

He caught me of guard when he suddenly turn the tables on me.

" You and Ein. . .? " He slightly turn his head in question.

I open my lips to speak since I can't really hide it forever and everyone will know, from this he sounds a little desperate, I sigh.

" He and I are-. . . "

" Hey!, If you don't like it then go away! " We hear shouting.

I turn around behind me where the commotion is and see a merchant arguing with a customer, the red hair and green eyes already fits the description of our witness. I stand up as they kept arguing and when he turn his head slightly, I saw the shine of a scar on his cheek.
