Kiana And Sal's Bizzare RomCom Drabble Collection

Kiasal Drabble 12: Frienemies?

Sal and Kiana were not the greatest of friends when they were in St. Freya. However, if one asked Mei, Bronya, and Fu Hua, the conclusion might be very different. And when we brought Himeko into the picture, her words, 'They are like two peas in the same pod. Ever fighting but also never leaving each other's side.

However, back then, the two of them couldn't spend a single day without fighting each other, while also not leaving each other. This tale is a recollection of one such day, when KiaSal was going about their routine fights and found them acting out of character.

Kiana: Why am I always stuck with you? (She had an annoyed look on her face)

Sal: Beats me. I would like to know myself. Also, could you be considerate with your words? (He pointed towards the shopping bags he was carrying) At least until I drop this in your room.

Kiana: Be happy, I have bestowed upon you the greatest privilege of carrying the future S Rank Valkyrie's stuff. You will be remembered.

Sal: Sure. (He says coldly)

Kiana: What you don't believe me?

Sal: I prefer to neither agree nor deny that claim. I am simply indifferent to your feats, O'Great Valkyrie.

Kiana: Ugh, I hate you

Sal: Same

Kiana: Dork

Sal: Dumbo

As they walked down the streets of St Freya, there were a few shady figures behind the gate who gazed at them with scrutiny. Their eyes filled with annoyance as they muttered: 'Kiana Kaslana, this time we won't let you off the hook'

A few days later, Sal was called to the cafeteria by a group of girls who wanted to talk with him. He was sceptical but decided to play along. Though it was mostly to annoy Kiana, he wasn't sure why, but whenever he would talk with students other than Mei, Bronya or Fu Hua, she would always have a grumpy expression, similar to that of a child who had to share their toy with someone.

Sal: What do you need from me?

Girl 1: We have seen how Kiana treats you, which is horrible.

Sal: Excuse me? (He knew the rumours about them, but this was the first time someone was this straightforward about it.)

Girl 2: We don't mean any harm. It's just that we don't like it. You are the only male in our academy. And it hurts to see you getting dragged around like that.

Girl 3: That is why we wanted to propose a plan.

Sal: A plan? (He was amused)

Girl 1: Yes. To take the self-proclaimed Kaslana down. She is such a big mouth and is never on time for classes. She bunks many of them, yet she keeps speaking about her becoming an S Rank Valkyrie. Just because she got a few missions under her belt-

Sal: I don't know what you guys are talking about, but her relationship and mine are not for you to interfere or speculate, right?

Taking a breath, the girls gave him a confused look, only to feel a chill pass through them when they saw his gaze.

Sal: As for taking her down, and your plan. I don't know what you are on about, but Kiana's dream is hers and hers alone. Yes, she might be a big mouth, very lazy and sometimes well, actually most of the time, unbearable. Still, if you so much as come near her, forget sabotaging, I will personally make sure Schiksal suspend you indefinitely.

That day, the group of girls were found crying at the end of the classroom as they scrambled to Mei, apologising, they were too scared to face Kiana, partly because of Sal's proclamation. On that day, a new rumour also started circulating in St Freya: If anyone tries to mess around with Kiana Kaslana, Sal Apocalypse throws them to purgatory.

Same day at night in Kiana and Sal's dorms:

Kiana: Dork, what are you doing? (She had heard his conversation with the girls and was trying to play it cool)

Sal: What do you want Dumbo?

Kiana: (She threw a cushion.) I was trying to be nice, and that's how you answered me?!

Sal: You? Nice to me? What has the world come to? Want me to take you to the medical bay?

Kiana: Ugh, you are insufferable

Sal: How else am I to keep up with you?

Kiana: Just stay still for a moment.

Not knowing how to thank him with words, she did what she was best at: action. Her arms cascaded around his back as she hugged him tightly. They stayed like that for a minute before Kiana let go of him.

Kiana: Not a word, Apocalypse. (She warned him with her cheeks flushed red)

Sal, still in a daze, nodded as the girl ran away. His heart was beating fast as his usually logical brain malfunctioned with confusion. Though he didn't hate it. Instead, he enjoyed it and would be lying if he said he didn't want Kiana Kaslana, the most aggravating person he has ever met, to hug him again.
