~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Work was piling up onto Azul. It was testing season, and like every year, students had been filling out contracts with the young prefect so they could use his notes. Using his notes selfishly was always a rough topic, but Azul would do anything to get his business booming. Once the end of the semester came, students began lining up outside of Octavinelle. Some clients came in the day before the test while others would have an appointment months in advance. No matter how late or early, though, Azul was always there for his business. He was proud of the work and effort he put in, and it was always his top priority.

That is, until he started dating you.

Azul had never been in a romantic relationship before, so to say he wasn't used to it would be an understatement. His force of habit made him put his business above you at all times. So much so, that he hadn't talked to you for weeks, save for the occasional hurried "hello" as he rushed past you in the halls.

It was irritating.

Week after week, minimal communication occurred between you two, and a part of you began to wonder if he was really interested in you. He seemed to be dating his job instead of you. With these feelings, you became a bit spiteful towards the young octopus. You ignored his greetings, walked away when he went up to you, and didn't even bother texting him good night. You felt terrible, ignoring him like this, but he needed to learn that this was serious...

...and if he wasn't going to learn, then it's "goodbye" to Azul.

------------

"Of course, do come again!" Azul said as he watched the last client of the day walk out of his office.

The young prefect sighed, sitting down on his couch. Another busy day today, but luckily everything went so smoothly he ended up having extra time to spare. Since he was now off, he figured the best way to spend his remaining hours were to talk with his lovely girlfriend. It had been quite a while, hadn't it?

Azul brought out his phone and your contact. He pressed the call button and waited for you to pick up, humming to himself.

We're sorry. The person you called is not available.

Azul was puzzled. Strange, usually you would pick up and say his name in that cute little singsong voice you did. Maybe there was no internet? He checked his wifi, which seemed to be in tact, and tried again.

Still no answer.

Azul sighed. Were you busy? Sleeping? Busy sleeping? The boy grew a bit sad, he was looking forward to calling you today.

"Oh, is your little Angelfish not talking to you?~" a voice said.

Azul turned to his office door, finding the Leech twins just walking in. Floyd quickly plopped onto the couch, leaning his arm on the armrest. Jade had opted for standing behind the piece of furniture, wearing his signature smile.

"Ah, it seems so. I don't know why she wouldn't talk to me, though." Azul pouted.

"Well, when was the last time you talked?" Jade asked.

Azul pondered the question. When was the last time the two of you talked? It seemed very recently.

"Oh, I said hello to her while I was walking to my next class."

"No, I mean an actual conversation, Azul. Surely you've at least texted the girl, right?"

Azul was a bit offended. Of course he texted you, when had he not? Just to prove it, he checked his phone messages.

The last text he sent you was from three weeks ago.

Azul's face grew pale, eyes widening. Three weeks?! There's no way. Azul wasn't that forgetful...

...was he?

"Ehehe, Azul's all white like sea foam.~" Floyd poked.

"I-I-" Azul stuttered. Oh god, he really hadn't talked to you for weeks, had he?! He grew scared, worried and downright guilty. He never meant to ignore you, his business was just getting so hectic and...well, it was his fault entirely. Azul then rushed out of his office, determined to chase you down and apologize for his actions (or, rather, lack thereof).

"Oh, (Y/N), I've made a terrible mistake... "

------------

Gentle knocks were heard as Azul came up to your bedroom door. He felt so ashamed, so worried, that he couldn't stop himself from getting slightly impatient. He just hoped and prayed that you didn't hate him...although, he wouldn't be surprised if you did.

Suddenly, a small creak came from the door, revealing your face, curious as to who was at the door. Azul stared at you, and you stared back. Processing who was before you, your face grew sour.

"Erm, hello, (Y/N)." Azul said, offering a small smile and wave.

You stood there in silence.

"A-ah, erm, about our-"

"Go away."

Azul looked back at you.

"Come again?"

"I said," you turned to face the floor, "go away. I don't want to see you." You then tried to shut your door, but you were stopped by a gloved hand pulling it open again.

"No, please! I'm sorry!"

You paused, turning back to Azul.

"I..." Azul rubbed a hand on his face, regaining his composure, "...I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry, (Y/N). This is completely my fault. Students kept piling into my office and, while my business is a priority, I had forgotten what was truly important..."

"What would that be?" you grumbled, crossing your arms.

"...You. Our relationship. (Y/N), I-" Azul continued, "I love you more than words could say. I'm so sorry for being so forgetful, and for being so caught up in my work. If you do forgive me, I'll make sure to do better, for us and for you."

God, this boy was way too good with words. You were still upset, naturally. There was a voice inside your head, though, that wanted nothing more than to melt in his embrace. Despite your pettiness, you missed Azul. You missed him dearly, no matter how angry you were at him. He was always so kind to you, and you yearned for the conversations you'd have face to face.

That little voice in your head had convinced you enough, and you wrapped your arms around Azul's waist.

"I understand, Azul. I forgive you, but please," you looked up at him, on the verge of tears, "please don't ever do that again."

Azul smiled, tears forming in his eyes as well. He ran his fingers through your hair and kissed your forehead, "Of course, love. I promise you, such a mistake will never happen again."

Those words made the tears fall out, which caused the boy to gently swipe them away with his thumb. It felt so good to reconcile. You loved Azul so much, and it was clear he felt the same. He suddenly brought a hand to your cheek and pulled your face towards his, kissing you ever so lightly. It made you smile, and you savored the moment.

Pulling away, Azul tucked strands of hair behind your ears. He looked at you with love, adoration and regret, and it made your heart flutter.

"Oh, that reminds me!" Azul began, "I had Jade and Floyd take care of the lounge for the next week, and I rescheduled all of my upcoming appointments."

Your eyes widened, "You mean...?"

"I'm 100% free for the week, my dear." Azul smiled at you. You squealed, hugging him tighter. You couldn't believe what he just said! He really was sorry, wasn't he? You spewed out "thank you"s and "I love you"s at rapid speeds, and it made Azul chuckle.

"So, my dear," Azul took your hand and kissed the back of it before continuing, "what would you like to do first?"
