Axis:Legacy

Chapter 19: The Date

Thomas waited at the Train Station near Axis Academy itself nervously tapping his foot on the floor. While it isn't his first time on a date, he's had his fair share of dates with other women before his enrolment into the Academy, but he was very much anxious given the fact that he was very much interested in Lissa so he had some concerns about it.

He looked at his reflection on a glass pane one more time to ease his tension at his reflection, which is one of the very few days where he can go on a date (and the fact it was Lissa that asked him out) he made sure to look his best. He sported a dark purple long-sleeved shirt worn underneath a black sweater to match with his dark blue jeans and shoes. It was a simple and casual outfit fit for the weather especially since they're now in the middle of autumn.

For a moment he smiled at himself reassuringly as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, only to frown as in he recalled Lissa's words.

You are a Rival someone I wish to surpass.

"Come to think of it, the only reason she's probably doing this is out of pity or just to make sure I stay in good condition. Like hell, she'd actually consider helping me now, if I give up that would piss her off since I barely gave her a challenge." Thomas muttered to himself as he rubbed his face for a moment and then gave himself a sardonic laugh as he looked at his reflection once more taking notice of the dark circles around his eyes even more.

Of course, it all makes sense now. She's just making sure that her rival wouldn't lose the challenge. Thomas thought giving himself a sardonic smile, but it immediately faded as he spotted Lissa's reflection nearby.

"Oh hey, I just got...here." Thomas trailed burying his hands on his pockets as he looked at Lissa's choice of outfit. She wore a light gold long-sleeved dress shirt worn underneath a light beige cardigan that matched her white skirt and shoes, it was also worth noticing that she put her hair down and instead wore her Axian braided cord in a form of a ribbon.

Even if it was just to make sure he was fine, Lissa went all out on her outfit which amazed Thomas that he almost forgot the idea that she only sees him as a rival for a brief moment.

"You don't have to stare," Lissa said avoiding his gaze as her face turned red.

"Sorry, it's the first time I get to see you in a casual outfit that I can't help but find you beautiful." Thomas pointed out with a shrug and then looked at her and offered his hand. "Right so where to?"

Meanwhile, Stalker Duo 1, nicknamed 'Ghillies' for their preference for Ghillie Suits, also known as Louis and Ester hunched nearby with binoculars, ignoring the fact that both of them are attracting stares from other people.

"Oh my, holding hands already? Kinky." Ester muttered under her breath as she pulled out a large camera and began taking shots.

"At least one of them is being aggressive instead of just blue balling us," Louis said as he peered through a set of large binoculars. Their first stop, to the Cinema. Lissa wanted to watch a romance movie something that she can't ever admit watching.

"I never pegged you the type to watch Romance Movies." Thomas crossed his arms and gave her a teasing smile. "Hey, I watch Drama series as well in the common room." Lissa said with a small pout as the two looked at the Movie which was a Live-Action Adaptation of 'Lady Immaculate and Lord Scholar' and it was obvious from the look in Lissa's eyes she was very much excited to watch the movie. Thomas shook his head in mild amusement and went to the ticket booth.

"Two Front Row Tickets for Lady Immaculate and Lord Scholar please," Thomas said with an amused smile while Lissa gave her a surprised look.
