[GL] Black Gold

Chapter 38

"Théa!"

Camie ran up to Théa so quickly that she couldn't slow down and crashed right into her. Théa was as stable as a rock and she surrounded Camie with her arms by reflex. She looked very worried and asked Camie if she was okay. However, Camie didn't even back away that she looked up towards Théa:

"I have to introduce you to someone. This is Violet."

Violet extended their hand towards Théa and Camie finally took a step back to let them greet each other:

"Nice to meet you. I am Camie's teacher."

Théa frowned:

"I..."

She needed a second to understand what was going on and it took her a second to put her arms down, still looking as if she was holding Camie against her. She looked down at the hand before finally shaking it:

"Nice to meet you, Violet. I am Camie's friend.

-Is your name Théa?

-My name is Amaltheia. Camie is the one who calls me Théa.

-I see. Should I call you by your full name? Having me call you by your nickname must be weird."

Théa nodded, slowly coming back to her senses:

"Don't call me Vivi.

-I won't."

This made Violet smile. Feeling Camie's gaze on them, Théa turned back towards the latter:

"Camie?

-We should go have coffee all together."

Théa couldn't help feeling disappointed.

"If that's what you want then I would love to."

They started walking and Camie couldn't help smiling, seeing Violet and Théa together. She could already see the positive effects Violet would have on Théa. The latter really needed positive energy around her and Camie was sure that it would do her a lot of good in the long term. She needed to find as many Black Gold fans as she could and introduce all of them to Théa. Maybe she could even start a Black Gold fan club. Seeing Camie in her thoughts made Théa smile:

"You are adorable when you are excited."

Camie immediately snapped out of her daydream and she suddenly forgot how to walk normally. She tried her best to remember but it just felt awkward. Did she always move her hands when she was walking? Or were they immobile? Feeling Théa's gaze on her face wasn't helping at all.

"Have you two known each other for long? I don't remember you telling me about Violet before."

Camie shook her head:

"I met her a week ago. They were my urgent thing to do."

Théa looked over Violet with a frown. The latter raised her hands suddenly:

"I am asexual and aromantic."

Camie had no idea why Violet just announced that but she did say random things from time to time therefore she didn't ask. Théa did seem in a better mood and she started asking Violet questions:

"Are you in biology too?

-No, I am in astrophysics and Camie came up to me because she wanted to know everything about Black Holes."

Théa couldn't help blushing:

"She did?

-Yes. I've never seen someone so excited about learning. I am going to scoot her. She is way more energetic than my classmates. And she understood more in four hours than they did in four years."
