The Lonely Clover

Dropped Memory

I have always loved Magna's broom. Don't ask why, I don't know. But I want one. Maybe not exactly like his but something amazing like his would be so epic!

I walked with them and when he showed the Crazy Cyclone, I gave a simultaneous "cool" with Asta, unashamed of drawing it out as my eyes turned to stars. I touched the horns and walked around it excitedly until I heard Noelle say it was stupid.

HMM?!?!?

I shook my head at her. "Noelle, is it possible you were born with the inability to be kind? Magna is proud of this and all you did is throw an insult at him. No one did that to you when we found out you can't control your magic." She turned with her arms crossed to pout.

I walked over to her and gently squeezed her shoulder. "Work on being kind." When I saw her open her mouth, I immediately interrupted. "Even though you're royalty." After saying that, I heard a few snickers, but quickly glanced over at the two boys and shook my head.

Noelle's POV

I'm really tired of this commoner treating me like a little kid! Like...I'm her stupid commoner sister...I'm royalty and I don't need her being nice to me...like a sister....I don't need that. Royalty doesn't need anyone! Royalty doesn't need people to care like big sisters....

Instead of saying so, Noelle looked down at her feet as Y/n's words ran circles in her mind.

Y/n's POV

Magna asked if I needed a ride too and only then did it occur to me that I wouldn't need to ride it because I have wings.

Dang it.

I shook my head and gave a small salute. "Lead the way Magna!"

When they were up in the air, I stretched out my wings, bent my knees, and took off in the best way I can explain as lifting off with the air. It feels nice to be able to spread them out like this without having to immediately hide them. I looked down at my shadow, noticing they were absolutely huge.

Were my wings always this big?

I heard the excitement of Asta and Noelle at my side with Magna saying to hold on until suddenly, there goes Asta. I gave Noelle a look as she tried very hard to pretend not to notice.

Poor Asta. I swear, there's never a time he isn't getting hit in some way or another.

As I dove to catch Asta, I couldn't help but wonder if Noelle used to be some sort of boxer or pro fighter in a previous life.

I couldn't help but giggle at the thought as I carried Asta the rest of the way, hooking my arms under his shoulders as we stayed in the air a few feet behind Magna.

Asta's POV

HER WINGS ARE HUGE! She's like an angel! But cooler! They seem to change colors, maybe depending on if she's hungry or not. Oh, maybe that's where the food goes!

"Thanks, Y/n. I'm glad I can count on you!" He said the words from the deepest part of his heart but felt it stutter a bit when she looked down at him with the brightest smile. It wasn't really that different from any other time she has smiled at him but somehow it was.

"Of course! I'll always watch over you, Asta!"

She let out a soft giggle and a blurry vision crossed his mind, making him widen his eyes.

"....You're Asta. Let's be friends, K?"

Just as quickly as it appeared, it disappeared. He shook his head when Magna began whooping about how they've arrived. "Are you okay, Asta?" Y/n asked.

I don't know what that was and it's best not to worry her anyway.

He brought his smile back. "Yeah!"
