Asta x Noelle

Chapter One

Asta P.O.V

I woke up, still feeling pretty tired for some reason but I could manage. I climbed out of bed and felt all the hair on my body point up as the cold air dug under my skin like daggers. Now shivering, I placed the sheets back down as neatly as I possibly could (Not very neatly) and began to stretch. Feeling energised, I made my way to my shabby door and pulled it open reaching for my nearby desk at the same time to grab my toothbrush, my body slowly got used to the cold air as I made my way to the bathroom.

I already heard some kind of horrific fight, eating contest or who knows what going on in the lounge area. I squeezed the practically flattened tube and got the closest thing to a healthy amount of toothpaste I could manage. As I brushed my teeth I noticed I had been feeling weird, for some strange reason every time Noelle happened to be near me I would begin to feel my heart practically beating through my chest and sometimes I would mistake my face heating up from one of Magnas stray fireballs while sparring with Luck. I just came to the conclusion that I would leave that problem to future me.

I finally spat out my toothpaste and made my way to the lounge area where, who would've guessed, Magna and Luck were sparring. Over on the table Charmy was serving plates of food for the Black Bulls to take, only then did I notice I was starving. My mouth watered as I made my way over to the hot plates of food until I heard Magnas voice.
"Noelle? Why's your hair down?" I heard him ask, I turned around and saw Noelle, she looked pretty damn tired.
Oh yeah, she had to go run an errand for Captain Yami pretty late at night so no wonder she's tired. I took a moment to examine her, as Magna had said her hair wasn't tied up, her beauti-- I mean, her silver locks ran all the way down to her chest, she had bags under her eyes and she didn't have her Black Bulls robe on. That weird feeling suddenly came back, I felt my heart start rapidly getting faster and faster and my face started to heat up, I snapped back out of it after Vanessa suddenly came out from behind Noelle and noticed her state as well,
"Wow, Noelle, you look pretty tired, do you need to go to sleep?" she asked, Noelle looked startled by her sudden appearance,
"Yeah, what time did you get home last night, Lady Noe?" Magna asked, Luck snuck up behind him, probably also curious, 
"Hmm, let's see.." Noelle began, her voice was croaky and flat, if I was being honest it was kind of cute... I stopped right at that thought and began walking towards her, also a bit curious, "I think I got home around 4am?" I suddenly became worried, while Magna, Luck and Vanessa began asking a couple of questions I grabbed her shoulders and swiftly trailed my hand up her neck and under her chin, lifting her head up so I could inspect it.

Suddenly, her face went beet red,
"Woah, Noelle, are you okay?" I became even more worried, placing my hand on her forehead, "Do you have a fever or something?" 
"Who gave you permission to touch me!?" She shrieked as I placed my hands on her, pulling her wand out and sending me flying,
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" I shouted before slamming into the wall, suddenly an even worse pain struck me on the head, I writhed in a familiar pain, it slowly crushed me and I felt like I was about to lose consciousness, while my life flashed before my eyes I shouted out my last words
"I'M SORRY CAPTAIN YAMI, WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN!"
The pain lifted and I felt all my senses return to normal, I was going to live another day.
"I already know it'll happen again, muscle brain," He said, scratching the back of his neck,
"Noelle, Kid, come with me," Captain Yami suddenly started walking off and the two of us followed, I noticed Noelle had done her hair up while I was slowly dying from that monster grip, not very good teamwork if you ask me.

"You two have been doing a lot of work lately so the crazy old man asked if I could give you two a day off," He began, "So yeah that's basically it you just have the day off to do whatever you want, now leave me alone to go take my morning dump, this ones probably going to be the battle of my life, don't wanna miss it," He walked off to todays bathroom location and the two of us were left thinking of what to do with today. I was immediately struck with a thought,
"I'll probably go visit home, what about you, Noelle?" I turned to look at her, she seemed to be thinking pretty hard but I don't think it was going anywhere.
"I'd love to visit home but I feel like it would be a bit awkward returning there and all so I might just spend the rest of the day sitting around or something," She said awkwardly, sighing. It looked like something was bothering her so I thought of something that might cheer her up,

"How about you come visit Hage with me? You've been there before and I bet the kids miss you!" I said, she covered her ears, leaving me confused,
"You really don't know just how loud you yell do you, Bakasta!?" She said, pushing me away,
"Well if you don't want to come then--"
"W-well it would be awfully rude of Royalty to refuse an offer from such a lowly insect so I may as well accompany you," She said, her face going a little red again as she turned away,
"Are you sure you don't have a fever, your face keeps going red and you look hot," She suddenly shrieked and jumped back.

Noelle P.O.V
"You look hot" I knew he didn't mean it that way but it still caught me off guard, I instinctively hit him with a water bullet, sending him flying,
"B-Bakasta! Wait for me, idiot!" I said, running after him.

"Why do you keep doing that!?" He said, getting up and fake pouting. I sighed and looked around for Finral, who usually would be around at this time,
"Oh, Lady Noe, if you're looking for the wheels he's on a date right now, you'll have to go wherever you need to with your broom," I turned to Magna, who'd said half of that sentence with a mouth full of chicken,
"How am I supposed to get there, then?" Asta asked, standing next to me, "Just ride with Lady Noe on her broom," he suggested. My faced burned, Asta!? On the same broom as me!? Whenever he's on it he grabs my waist and I end up freaking out... I sighed and flicked my hair back,
"Hmph! I guess you can ride with me Bakasta, but don't you dare mess me up!" I picked up my broom (I don't know from where, I'm not bothered to write that part lol) and walked outside, climbing on, I heard Asta walk up to it and climb on, reminding myself not to knock him off if he grabs me. I slowly raised the both of us up and felt him grow slightly unsteady,
"Noelle, promise you won't kick me off like you usually do," he said, snaking his arms around my waist,
"Who gave you permission to grab me!?" I shouted, still concentrating on what was in front of me, praising myself for not losing control or hitting him off. We began going at a steady pace towards the forsaken realm. He got slightly closer, putting his chest against my back, I froze and slowly but surely relaxed. This was going to be a long trip...
