SubZero: A new age

Chapter 6: The dinner

It has been two and a half weeks since Clove first came here and my brother and I have gotten really close to her. Kyro seems to be getting out of this little state of his and is now getting to know her as well. There have been a few times where I would see them laughing together and having a good time but at the same time, his highness still seems distant. Like he wants to open up and start sharing but some part of him wants to keep everything to himself and hide his true feelings.

In the end, it is good to see them getting along. Especially with the fact that Clove got drenched on her first day here. I blame it on Kyro for that and even till this day, I still don't know what went down in that room two weeks ago. No one knows, just them two. All I know now is that everyone seems fine.

These past two weeks have been a little crazy though. Before Clove arrived, Kyro was not himself. He kept himself in one room for most of the day for a good week before we started seeing him around the halls more. And whenever us twins are anyone bringing up Clove and her arrival, he became silent and tried to change the subject or just walked away.

But now, seeing how they have gotten to spend a little more time together, they seem to be getting along just fine. There's still tension between them and I myself can still feel some hatred but other than that, everything has been fine.

-Later that day-

Kyro is supposed to have dinner with Clove after he asked her during the end of the meeting they had with the generals.

He was waiting for a while. All the food table and it was starting to get cold and honestly, Kyro is starting to lose his patience.

"Ugh, what is taking her so long?", Kyro says to himself. "Does it really take this long to get ready for dinner or does she even care ... Maybe I shouldn't even bother at this point."

At that moment, he soon sees a shadow through the curtains that resembles Clove. He gets up and starts to walk closer.

"So you finally decide to show up, huh? I've been waiting for you. I know things have been rough between our clans but I hope with your acceptance, you'll allow me to get to know you more."

He moves the curtain to see Reina, the grand general's niece standing before him.

"I want to know more of you too", Reina says while laying her hand of Kyro's chest.

"GET OUT!", Kyro instantly says while he turns and starts walking away.

You have no business coming over here and trying to get your way. You've always been like this, even when you were younger. You try and get close to me, play with my thoughts and now this? What do you really want because you've already pissed me off?"

"Come on Kyro, I've been away for months and when I come back, this is how you treat me huh? You didn't even look at me during the meeting and I've just longed to see your beautiful eyes but now your not even going to pretend there wasn't anything between us."

"Because there wasn't anything between us. I was there for you when you needed someone but that was nothing else. If you thought things were getting serious then you thought wrong. And now thinking about it. I don't ever recall inviting you here for dinner."

"Oh come on now... Do you really think that sweet little princess of yours is going to eat any of this? Where even is she right now?"

"I honestly don't know but I don't even think I care anymore at this point. Whether I see her tonight or not is all up to her."

"Then lets take advantage of this time now and spend some time together, shall we?" She says while hugging Kyro from behind.

Reina then started saying some things about Clove which had Kyro almost thinking they were true  but he came to his senses.
