Unrequited love (Astral X Barian! Reader)

No Ones POV
Once (name) made it to class she was scolded by the teacher. But since she was a straight A the teacher let it slide. (Name) sighed and sat in her seat near a girl with light blue hair and pink eyes. (Name) and her got to know each other and were partners when projects came up. When (name) sat down beside the girl greeted her "oh hey (name). I thought you were going to skip today" (name) was confused. Why would she skip? Better ask. "What do you mean Yani? Why would I skip?" (BTW if your name is Yani then please change the name I provided) (name) asked looking at Yani with confused (e/c) orbs. Yani looked at (name) and whispered "haven't you heard the rumors going around? That Shark tried to harass you but you pushed him back and ran away" harass? Shark? What the hell.

(Name) sighed, she acted like she paid attention to the teacher for a second since he looked at the class and back to the board as she looked back at Yani. (Name) facepalmed and whispered back "Shark didn't harass me, he made me mad and when he touched me.... I guess I blew up on him" looking down at the desk and tablet in front of her. Yani's hand met (name)'s shoulder "hey don't worry about those stupid rumors. What matters is that you guys made up right?" (Name) scoffed "don't make it sound like we're dating" she said with a glare. Yani just laughed and nodded with an "ok" making (name) nod and go back to listening to the teacher. The class was a simple one, the teacher's way of explaining it... Nooooottttttt so much. But (name) still got the gist of it, guess that's the mind of an natural genius. (Name) sighed feeling bored as she begins to look out the window. When the teacher began to ask questions like "does everyone understand?" Or "who wants me to go more in depth" (name) didn't raise her hand while others did. The teacher nodded and repeated 'more in depth' what he had taught the class.

[TIME SKIP]

(Name)'s second class had now ended and (name) was just walking outside during the dueling period. No one challenged her. She didn't challenge anyone. Simple as that, mostly because they might lose their soul if they lost but eh, you never know. But the female Barian didn't want to try it out in public, knowing she'll get found out... By Astral. (Name) shook her head. Why was Astral always popping into her head. One minute she's thinking the next she's thinking about Astral. Meaningless question like "how's Astral?" Or "is Astral doing well?" Or maybe even "Astral isn't hurt is he?" Got into her mind. She remembered sneaking into the private library at the Barian palace one day to secure her boredom, she found book genres called..... Ro...M..ance? Romance! It was an interesting subject so she went to Mizar and Dumon about it hoping they had answers. But their.... Explanations weren't the best. Mizar had said "it is the feeling of falling and you feel that some has caught you" while Dumon 'explained' "it is just a feeling you get." So (name) didn't really have a thought or an opinion about what Romance was. But she felt like it went deeper than that. She felt it was a dangerous feeling, as the books shows, and that's how she felt around Astral. A dangerous feeling- not like "I have to stay away from him" dangerous but more of "what if rejects me and it hurts me" dangerous. Just the thought scared (name).

"(Name)?" The girl turned around seeing Tori walked down the stairs with her friends "oh, hey To-" just then a man with HUGE roses blocked her way. For a bit he reminded the female Barian of Alito, she kind of missed it when he challenged her to a boxing match while Vector glared a glare from the hells. Just as the man started to confess his feeling Yuma jumps from the top of the stairs with Vec- RAY! In a shock (name) kicked Yuma and Vector out of her way (keep in mind that she is almost at the top of the stair way) making them crash into the man "OH! SORRY ABOUT THAT!" Yuma shouted as he ran again. (Name) turned around as the wounded man was at the very bottom of the stairs.

"ALITO?!"

"(NAME)?!"

Both Barians stared at each other with shock as Tori and her friends looked back and forth at the two. "You two know each other?" Tori asked, (name) just chuckled nervously "you can say we're childhood friends" she said "AND WE ARE!" Alito shouted. Tori and her friends walked off while (name) and Alito caught up. After all.... It's been a year since they had any contact. "How is it in the Human World? Are there any good fights around here? Who was that kid that interrupted me when I was trying to confess my love for Tori?" Alito asked in one go making (name) laugh, "it's kinda fun in the Human World if you find the right people. There are some good duelists sometimes. And that 'kid' was Yuma Tsukumo, a fellow peer." (Name) explained. Alito nodded as he took in all of the new information, when a serious and tense yet nervous air filled the oxygen around the two Barians Alito looked over at (name) "you seem tense" he stated. Alito was pretty smart when it came to looking at muscle (since he's a boxer and all) so he knew when others were tense. (Name) sighed, she knew that Alito knew what she was going to ask "if you and Vector are here then that means Girag is here.... Putting out the Barian cards" (name) said sadly, Alito looked at her with sad eyes. She, Nacsh, and Marin were the ones that primarily tried to stop Vector from taking over, but when Margin and Nacsh disappeared it was just (name). She had gone to the library and onto the high-tech computers in Barian World to look for them. But nothing. Well at least it was nice seeing each other again.
