ridiculous has its own meaning now

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂




Crouched down by one of the bushes, a certain redhead pulls out her binoculars, her gaze set on two people by the sparring range. Brushing her hair back off her forehead, she kept her hands steady, lips pursed as her forehead creased in concentration.

She must've looked a bit unnatural because what normal person would be crouching down by the bushes unless they were stalking someone? Well, the girl wouldn't exactly call it stalking, it was more like watching her two clients bond together—yeah, that's right.

But that wasn't the case for Oh Sion.

"Stalking people again, Aeri?" His voice resonates in Aeri's ears, the girl flinching in her spot, nearly tumbling forward into the bushes.

Aeri looks back at him with a glare, though it softens as he smiles teasingly at her. "You love teasing me, don't you?"

Sion shrugged his shoulders playfully, crouching down beside her. "Maybe I do, a little bit."

It had been a while since he last talked to Aeri without anyone getting in the way. Aeri being busy with archery training with Yushi and Riku following her like a lost puppy, he seldom got a chance to talk to her alone. It honestly felt like he was getting left behind. But today, here he was, finally being able to hang out with her even just for a little while.

"Where's your so-called matchmaking assistant?" Sion questioned, admiring the girl as she continued her work, looking into her binoculars for a moment before writing some stuff down in her pink notebook.

"You mean Riku? He's busy today so it's just me."

"And what about your training with Yushi?"

Aeri paused as a thought passed her mind. She shook her head, her shoulders slumping forward a bit. "He's also busy."

Sion couldn't help but smile widely upon her answers. The two boys who had been all over Aeri for the past few days now are busy which leaves him to have some time with the girl. Usually, the boy should be busy training, too. But since he woke up early today, it was a great thing that he decided to train early in the morning rather than in the afternoon.

"So, does that mean I'm yours for the day?"

The girl turns to Sion in shock, finding it odd for him to use such words. She reaches up to touch her ears which she assumed were tinging pink as heat crept up her face. Nervously fiddling with her gold rectangular earrings, she looks away bashfully. "W–What do you mean by that?"
