Rhythm Of Rivals

"First of all, do you want to eat the lunch from that box?"

"I thought to skip lunch before... But as Fourth gave it for me, I will surely eat it!" Gemini said happily, nodding to himself.

"It's already quite clear," Mark mumbled to himself.

"Clear what?" Gemini asked.

"Nothing. Let's talk about something else."

Gemini raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

Mark cleared his throat. "So, Gemini, When you're around Fourth, do you feel like your heart skips a beat or races?"

"I told you just now it feels like my heart will literally explode, and I would die any moment so staying away from him will be good for me I don't wanna die young!" Gemini exclaimed.

Mark leaned in, intrigued. "Do you ever get those butterflies in your stomach when Fourth is near?"

Gemini chuckled. "Why will I have butterflies in my stomach now? I like meat but eating butterfly... Nahh not a good idea" gemini replied making a disgusted face

Mark face palmed at gemini's stupidity

"Do you feel something dancing in you're stomach in Fourth's presence?" Mark rephrased.

Gemini's eyes sparkled. "Yessss, brooo! Whenever we accidentally touch each other, I feel something in my stomach and an electrifying sensation all over my body."

Mark persisted. "Do you find yourself thinking about Fourth more often than you'd like to admit?"

Gemini's eyes narrowed. "Where are these questions coming from, Mark?"

Mark grinned. "Just answer, Gemini."

Gemini's face reddened. "That's enough, Mark."

Mark asked, undeterred, "When Fourth looks at you, do you feel like he can see right through you?"

Gemini sighed. "Hmph, he sees the things which he doesn't have too while ignores the ones which he actually needs to see."

"What does that mean now?" Gemini just shrugged

Mark's expression turned serious. "Gemini, I'm trying to understand. Do you feel a sense of calm or comfort when Fourth is around?"

Gemini hesitated. "As long as I want to deny it, but still, I feel really comfortable with him, and only him."

Mark's voice softened. "Have you ever caught yourself smiling or feeling happy when Fourth is near, even if you're trying to hide it?"

Gemini lost in thought. He was always happy near Fourth, even if he showed a tough exterior.

Gemini's face contorted. "Just stop, Mark."

Mark's eyes sparkled. "Do you feel like there's an unexplainable connection between you and Fourth?"

Gemini's smile returned. "Yesss, I felt like he was the only person who understands me, despite fighting all day. I felt a deep connection with him, which I never felt with anyone before."
