Story starts:

It was another calm night in the castle and like always you were off to meet Luke and Guy before going off to bed. You had a secret spot on top of one of the towers, the three of you found it a few months ago when you accidentally sent Guy flying into it during training. You went there to get him down, but found him knocked out by you arte then Luke sat next to him and decided to take a nap and you decided to join him so after that the three of you snuck up there whenever you wanted to take a break.

Luke: About time you got here, (Y/n).

(Y/n): My humblest apologies, your majesty. I was putting the finishing touches on my new arte. Besides it's not like you need me here to fall asleep.

You bowed sarcastically to him to tease him.

Luke: The last thing I want to do is sleep! That's all I do from how bored I am around here all day. I want to play, you guys are my only friends, but I can only hang out with you at night.

Guy: Oh no, (Y/n), Luke's going to start crying if you don't do something.

(Y/n): He's actually a bit cute when he gets like this. Can't I leave him for a while longer?

Guy: Well ok, but just don't let him cry too much or we'll be found out.

Luke: Screw you guys! Why are you picking on me?!

(Y/n): Because it's fun to watch. I just said that, didn't I?

Guy: Aw, please don't be mad Luke. We were only joking.

(Y/n): I'm wasn't. Well I didn't mean to make you upset, but since you put on a good show I ended up having fun.

Guy: You know, (Y/n), you could at least try to help.

(Y/n): Don't wanna, too much effort

Luke: You're really cheeky tonight, aren't you!?"

He ran over to you and started stretching out your cheeks as he growled. You stuck out your tongue at him through your stretched mouth making him flare up even more. Guy then leapt up between you and pushed you both away from the other. You both clicked your tongues as you turned away to avoid each other.

Guy: Come on now, don't fight.

Luke and (Y/n): Fine.

Luke: So, (Y/n), are you going to show us your new arte or keep us in suspense?

(Y/n): I would, but the last time I showed off a new arte you both fainted from how amazing it was and then I had to carry you both to your rooms.

Guy: Wha-, we didn't faint. You lost control of your arte and knocked us out.

Luke: Yeah, that was scary.

You were incredibly talented when it came to artes. Being able to learn various types and attributes, but your weakness was that you weren't very good at managing your power properly and usually lost control whenever you were still learning something new.

(Y/n): Sh-shut up! It's the same thing. I'm amazing and neither of you can appreciate my genius!

Guy: Sometimes I wonder just what goes on in that hamster wheel you call a brain.

(Y/n): Says the person who drops his sword whenever a couple of the maids walk by to greet you.

Luke: Hurry up and show us already!

(Y/n): Fine! Stand back and enjoy the show!

Guy: Quick! Take cover!

(Y/n): I hate you both.

Guy shouted as he grabbed Luke's arm and jumped behind one of the windows of the roof. You sighed and got ready to cast your spell. You slowly focused your aura into the palm of your hand making it lift up as a small blue orb. You brought your arm back and pitched it. As it flew, small thrones started poking out until it had broken into a wheel of spinning swords. You smiled confidently as you saw it fly so well, but then saw it come undone. Some of the swords grew bigger than the others, making it lose balance and cut your secret hideout apart.

(Y/n): Damn, it got away from me. Oh well, trial and error right?

Luke: Well I can see how it can be useful in a fight at least. Last time I just saw a bright light and Guy caught fire.

Guy: Hahaha, I thought I was going to die for a minute there!

(Y/n): It's still a new arte so I think we actually got lucky that our hideout was the only thing that got torn up.

Guy: Well... at least no one got hurt.

Luke: Just so we're clear, (Y/n), you're cleaning this up.

(Y/n): Some friends you are.

Luke: I would have helped you clean up if you hadn't bragged about how "amazing" you are so let this be a lesson in humility.

Guy: Sorry, (Y/n).


You growled a little at having something so troublesome dropped on you when you were already exhausted from the day. You sat around with your friends for a bit talking about random things and simply relaxing and enjoying your time with them. Even if you and Luke fought every now and then, it wasn't because you disliked each other it was just simple teasing since physically, he was stronger than you, but you were already a master in artes at a young age. This caused you to constantly challenge each other.

Guy was the first friend you made when you came to the castle since you were a servant you kept mostly to yourself, thinking you weren't allowed to speak freely. That all changed after you met him. Thanks to his fear of girls he was overjoyed when there was finally another boy his age in the castle. His eagerness to want to make friends with you combined with you constantly hiding yourself away from everyone ended with him dragging you away from the mountain of books you had on artes and made you start reading outside so he could at least play around you.

He was finally able to get you out of your shell and enjoy more than just learning new spells. You were still shy some times, but with Guy and Luke you acted bratty every now and then since you felt comfortable around them. You genuinely cared for them which was something you used to fake to fit in with others, but when Luke was kidnapped several years ago you were so scared and worried about him that Guy found you crying a few times and took care of you until you felt better.




You said goodbye to your friends and started picking up all the cut up pieces of stone that were lying around. Using fire arte you were able to fix everything, though using power while already tired made you feel so sleepy that you wobbled around whenever you walked.

Guy: Whoa, there! Be careful, (Y/n), you nearly fell off the roof.

(Y/n): Thanks, I'm just a little tired.

Guy: A little? You don't have to force yourself, I'll help you out. There isn't much left anyway.

(Y/n): I thought I had to clean up by myself since I was being a jerk before.

Guy: forget that, I'd feel guilty if I knew you were up here by yourself after Luke and I made you show off your new arte.

(Y/n): Apparently Luke doesn't feel the same way.

Guy: That's because you're both childish when you guys argue. You'll see he's going to apologize a thousand times when he sees you tomorrow.

You both laughed at what a strange friendship you all shared. When you and Guy finished, you felt surprisingly happy at having him there and didn't realize you were smiling at him.

Guy: Heh, are you that happy I came back to help?

(Y/n): S-shut up! I was almost finished anyway. I'm just happy how fast we finished, it has nothing to do with you.

Guy: If you say so. Well, we're done so I'm off to bed.

(Y/n): G-Guy... um... can we talk for a minute?

Guy: Hmm, about what?

(Y/n): I w-wanted to ask you, are you afraid of girls because you're scared they might confess to you?

Guy: Well, I don't really think that's right, but I can't remember why I feel this way. Why do you ask? Are you trying to set me up with someone?

(Y/n): Ah, n-no I just... I just wanted to know since you're so popular.

Guy: Huh? Well, I don't really think that's right, but I can't remember why I feel this way. I think something happened when I was a kid and now I just act on reflex.

(Y/n): So... i-is there anyone you do like?

Guy: There is, but I'm not sure if I should tell them. I like having them as my friend so I don't want to screw up what we already have.

(Y/n): I see, well anyone would be happy to have you with them!

Guy: I'm talking about you, idiot.

(Y/n): Eh?

Guy: You're the person I like.

(Y/n): What?! Why?! I mean, I like you too, but I'm only good at casting spells. I spend all my time reading on new artes and I even lose control sometimes. I'm way too helpless a person to be loved by someone like you.

Guy: What're you talking about? We're friends aren't we, how could I ever think badly of you? Besides, you're just as nice as I am.

(Y/n): Y-yeah... but...

Guy: (Y/n), you like me too, right?

(Y/n): Y-yes, but maybe it's just because you've always been nice to me. Yeah, that's it! I must just be confused! Hahaha, let's just forget this happened to go to bed. I'm probably so tired I'm saying all kinds of strange stuff. Bye!

You tried to run off but Guy grabbed the back of your coat and stopped you even though you tried to keep walking as if nothing had happened. Guy lifted you up off the ground and you still kept moving your feet trying to deny he was there.

Guy: Hold up, idiot. You're not getting away like that. Even if you're shy about it, I don't mind saying "I like you". Besides, you're terrible at hiding how you feel. Aren't you a little too happy for someone who doesn't feel the same way?

(Y/n): Well, that's understandable, isn't it? Anyone would be happy if they heard the person they like, likes them back... Wait, I didn't mean that!

He gave a smug smile as he held you up closer to him. You ducked your head and tried to ignore him, but he was too close and your heart was pounding too loud for you to keep pretending.

(Y/n): Fine! I'm overjoyed to hear you say you "think of us as more than friends" and that "like me". Are you happy now?

Guy: Well, if that's the case shouldn't you confess to me properly?

(Y/n): You're a real jerk, you know that?

Guy: Hey, I stayed calm and confessed with skill. You're the run one who was trying to walk on air a minute ago.

(Y/n): Fine already, I'll be honest with how I feel. Just put me down already. How you this strong anyway?

Guy: Heh, don't worry about that, now go on, (Y/n). Tell me how much you love me.

He set you down and smile brightly at you making you even more annoyed at him. (Why did I have to fall for this idiot?) You growled in your mind wondering if you really had feelings for Guy. And unfortunately you did so there really was no escaping.

(Y/n): I like you too Guy. There I confessed, I'm going to bed.

Guy: You don't have to sound so angry about it. Did I play around too much?

You only glared at him with murderous intent and ready to hit him if tried anything else.

Guy: Hey, (Y/n), now that we confessed shouldn't we do something boyfriends do together?

(Y/n): Huh, like what? You want to hold hands back to our room?

Guy: That does sound nice, but I was thinking we could kiss.

(Y/n): Wha! N-no way it's too soon isn't it?!

Guy: Oh come on it's just a small kiss. I promise not to use tongue or do anything else.

(Y/n): Too close!!!

You flinched as he leaned in close to you and already had his forehead touching yours. When you opened your eyes you saw him right in front of you and hit his face to push him away as you screamed. Then you fell back and sat on the floor trying to hide yourself as you curled up from embarrassment.

Guy: ...Well of course I have to get close. We were about to kiss after all...

(Y/n): I-I'm sorry! But it looks my heart isn't ready yet! I'm shaking so much and I feel like I'm about to explode...

He kneeled down next to you and pet your (H/c) hair.

Guy: Heh, that's not good. I'll wait until you feel ready.

(Y/n): Th-thanks.

Guy: It's not because you don't like it, right?

(Y/n): No...it's just that my heart is beating so much I feel like I might die.

You and Guy finally managed to kiss after 2hrs of waiting for you to calm down. In the end you were happy that you managed to confess to him and that he felt the same way about you. That night you went to sleep happier than you had been in a long time and couldn't wait to start getting even closer to him.
