"Kaeya what does this mean"

I don't know what to say the, the kiss was perfect but what have I done if this doesn't work out can we even be friends but what if this doesn't even happen he could have just been teasing me and he probably doesn't actually have feelings but he told me he wasn't a flirt but he could just be thinking he doesn't act like a flirt cause if he acts like this with other people then he is definitely a flirt but why would he actually kiss me if he didn't want to this could all be some sick joke, but Alice said that he was raised right and being raised right is presumably not to do anything like this

"Well I don't know.... What would you like to be " he smirks before laughing "you look like a deer in headlights are you okay " he tries to sound more serious but the laughter gets through.

"Well your the one who asked to kiss me you should have had a plan after that " he asked to kiss me he should have the plan why ask me

"Well I did it impulsively are you really telling me you never just gave into your intrusive thoughts " he smiles and leans closer to me "do you really think every thing through before you do it "

"Yeah I do, I just shut out intrusive thoughts. I th-"

"If you think everything through then, what was your plan for after you said yes " he smirks and I realise that he had me caught me out on my own words but I'm lucky he cut me off or else I would be worse out

"I-i... I didn't think about that okay " I want to just slump into the jacket and vanish from this moment embarrassed doesn't even cover how I feel, shame maybe but I'm not ashamed of agreeing to the kiss but I really don't know

"Well I will be honest I wish I kissed you last night but I feel like this was worth the wait oh and to answer your question this means I like you if I need to make it clearer " he smiles he takes his arm off my shoulder and starts to walk towards the school. After a minute or so I start to walk as well I walk behind him since I don't know what to say to him do I say I like him too do I need to do something special or do I just say it.

I still can't get the thought out of my head that this is all some big joke and if a reciprocating his feelings will be make a fool off me to the whole school or are they genuine I was so involved in my thoughts that I didn't realise we were at the school until I walked right into Kaeya

"Did you lose focus blondie" he smiles and he then goes on to talking about a fencing tournament, he's acting as if nothing happened and I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing

"Do you have alchemy club on after school today " he was leaning against the locker next to mine as I grabbed my books "yeah I do "

"I will help you set up again and when your done you can come over to fencing again afterwards " he starts tossing a coin in his hand as he speaks

"Sure I will check it out but you just want to walk me home don't you " I start to lock my locker and I reach down to grab my satchel when Kaeya picks it up for me

"Hey give that back I need it " I try to take it back but he puts it on his shoulder " we are heading to the same class and anyway you need to get a backpack a satchel isn't good for your posture" he starts to walk towards our class and a quickly catch up to him and I walk beside him

"I like it and anyway I painted it myself so I like it more and don't want to paint designs onto a new bag " I look down at my bag it was a brown satchel bag that I had painted about 2 or 3 years ago Klee wanted me to paint clovers on her backpack but I didn't know if it would work or not so I tested it out on my bag first, I figured out the best way to do it before I painted hers she still uses that backpack and refuses to get a new one because of it

"I thought you bought it like this but your very talented but what else should I have expected " he chuckles slightly before passing me back my bag as we reach the classroom. I don't like history I would much rather be doing any other subject but it's not to bad since the project Kaeya is still sitting in front of me he never moved back well it's more the girl who moved into his sit doesn't want to move since she is now sitting next to her crush. I sit down in my seat and Kaeya sits on the chair backwards like he always does and leans on my desk

"What is your favourite thing to draw " he asks as I pull out my sketchbook "well it changes from time to time lately I have been enjoying drawing hands but it's hard to find references since it's hard to pose, look and draw my own hand " I open up my sketchbook to a blank page I don't know what I should draw and am just waiting for inspiration

"I could pose my hands for you " I look up to Kaeya who looks embarrassed about what he just says "if you would like me too I mean " but he seems to be doubling down on the proposition

"If you would like you can you can do what ever you want " I didn't want to say yes but I did want to draw his hands so that felt like the best way to put it. He sits back up and holds one of his hands out as if wanting me to grab it but he has a coin in-between the tips of his middle and index finger

"Could you draw this " he looks at me his face seems average enough but his eyes where full of excitement

"I can try but I don't have a lot of time " I smile and start to draw his hand did he really realise that I had draw his hands before or what. After about 15 minutes the bell rings and the teacher walks into class, Kaeya turns back round in his seat I had gotten most of the drawing finished at least the posing and I started to draw the finer details .
