So, I realized I couldn't finish it in 3 parts lololol
"So, did you eat it?" Irithel asked Nana as they were eating together at the town's cafe run by Franco. "Yes, I did." The cat-elf replied, enjoying the *halo-halo she ordered.
She woke up earlier than usual, and Miya still hasn't awoken so she decided to go out to eat. She left a note on her desk so they wouldn't be worried. She found Irithel in the cafe. "Nana, what's that?" Irithel pointed out.
Nana jumped in shock. She knew exactly what Irithel was talking about. It was the hair pin she hid under some strands of hair, but she guessed she didn't do it right. She laughed nervously.
"H-harith bought it for me from the market.."
"I doubt he'll give you something with such design."
Nana's eyes widened, knowing that Irithel did have a point. Harith despised The Troublemakers, especially Harley.
Harley... Even thinking about his name makes the cat-elf go red. The night was very special for her...
†‡†‡†‡†‡†‡†‡†‡
"Hey bit- Nana, you in there?" A voice called out from the other side of her door. She raised her brow in curiosity, asking herself who could be knocking at her door in the middle of the night.
She rushed out of bed and opened the door. She was greeted by the last person she had in mind.
Harley.
For some reason she felt all the blood rush to her cheeks as the young mage smirked. "Konbanwa~" he said. Nana smiled back and let him in. "Good evening."
She didn't understand. Why would Harley visit her? Was it for Miya? Or Harith? But Harith's not home, and Miya's is out discussing matters with Fanny... So... Why does she have a nagging suspicion he came specially for her?
"Look, I know it's kinda awkward..." Harley said, laughing. He wouldn't admit it, but he did find a sort of interest in the cat-elf. He needed to be with her. Though he makes himself swear to secrecy.
Nana laughed whole heartedly. She enjoyed his company. She knew that he was supposed to be her enemy, but she couldn't help it. Her sense of humor was too strong.
They joked around for the night. At last when the clock struck 12, the young mage decided it was time to go. "Nana..." He said, concern clear in his voice. If he was really blushing, or if it was just the light, he didn't want to know. "Thanks." He said, before placing a small jewelry box in her hands and kissed her on the forehead. "Tomorrow. I'll be waiting!" He said, disappearing into smoke.
At that moment the cat-elf decided to go to sleep.

"Don't tell me you've been cheating on Harith." Someone said behind her, loud enough to snap her out of her shock. In alarm, Irithel raised her crossbow and aimed it on the teenage elf.
"Duty calls, Nana~" Lolita said, leaning on her hammer.
