Arthur face went deep as the color of strawberry, even though it was only short sentence, his heart go doki doki.
He shielded his face from both of his hands also trembling like a school girl got their reply from their crush.
Caspian saw this and smiled, how can he sue the author for doing this?Arthur is a really flustered male who get easily die from embarassment.
"Yah, stop covering your face.You look an idiot doing that," Caspian tried to remove Arthur's hands shielding his face but he didn't even budge and went deep shade even before.
"I c-can't! Can you p-please stop s-staring?!"
Now Caspian can't help but clutch his stomach from laughing too much to the point it's starting to hurt even more.
Ghad, Arthur is really hilarious.
"Why can't I stare?You said I can stared at it all day.Are you backing out now?"
"You an stare but n-not right now!" Arthur grabs a pillow at the side and use it to cover his face, his right hand reaching out to something and once he felt it, he interwined his fingers with Caspian.
Caspian would love to see this side of Arthur even more, is this the really cold Noah back then?
-----
"Caspian can I ask something?"
"What is it?"
Arthur tightly gave Caspian a clench of his hand, "What's your dream?"
Dream? Caspian place the grapes he was eating.Staring at the male who can't even looked at him, the pillow is still covering his face but he can definitrly tell that Arthur won't ever let go of his hand.
What is exactly his dream? At first, he didn't have any thoughts about what to do in the future.Maybe be a slacker, a farmer or a hero.
Even then, he was never fond of anything back then.It's like his world is so dull ti the point he thought about why he was born in the beginning.
But, of course everyone have dreams.
It's just, their dreams are impossible to reached, including Caspian dream.
"My dream?That word never really crossed my mind.But, even so I did have one."
"What is it?Can you tell me?"
Caspian licked his dry lips, his mind jumping up and down as he never really told anyone his dream. But, right now he is telling Arthur, the one thing he really wants do with this and his past life.
"I want to explore the world."
Arthur eyes peaked out from the pillow, blinking at him, Caspian didn't know as he is gazing outside the window.Staring at the buildings of the Laernu.
"Is that your dream?Exploring the world for the rest of your life?"
His parents didn't let him live the life to the fullest, as he is trap inside the castle waitijg to turn 18 and get married at such young age.
"Yes, I want to explore the whole world and find out some interesting cultures, food, tradition and especially all the glamorous places that everyone will be amaze of once they see it."
He saw one picture, only one picture that his heart went faster when he saw it at his Father desk. A location where it didn't exist in this world, a place where he atleast once in a lifetime want to come.
But, of course that's impossible since he's already dead and can't be revive cause that's not something a mortal can do, except gods.
"Then, will it be more fun if you have someome with you also explore the world?"
Arthur voice go soft, his eyes staring at the side profile of his soon beloved wife.
Can't take his eyes off the beauty, the beauty who melt his old cold heart along time ago and who stood beside him with all the troubles going his way, the one who comforts him.
"Fun?Well, you could say it's possible to be more fun if they have someone."
Caspian gigled, his eyes fluttered close while a melody escape from his mouth, a small blush painted his pale cheeks.
Arthur gulped at the sight, it's great to see his lover laughed again like that, and even touch his skin.Deacdes ago, after he disappeared, he can only stared at the small portrait of his lover, a goofy smile staring at him.
Now, he could feel it again and this time.
He will make sure that he will not disappear again.
"Why did you suddenly question that?Oh, and tell me your dreams too."
"My dream?"
Caspian gazed at the male beside him, who was also staring at him with warmth on his eyes. Suddenly, Arthur close the distance between them and leaned forward to put his lips towards Caspian, the kiss lasted for a few seconds before Arthur broke it.
It feels like it was forever but it was only a few seconds, even without the two saying something about the kiss.The two only laughed, both of their heartbeat syncing with eachother.
Caspian knew what Arthur dreamed is, his heart beating faster and the movement earlier confirmed his theory.
In which he wanted to return the feeling, the passion burning to longed for. But right now Arthur have to wait until everything is over between Samael.
---
Few days have passed and they went back to the academy, before that Caspian bid goodbye to his family before leaving again to continued his study.
Since then, the mole never made their moves so the rest lowered their guard a little and did their daily routines except they have day off from the patrol.
After the two exchanging feelings, the two stick closer together this days and even head straight to their usual spot.Nobody mind the two, I mean everyone already expected the relationship between the two but qyiet sad how Caspian keep making Arthur wait but they still support his decision.
Right now, Caspian finally finished the novel and can read the whole thing again.He missed the way the scene flow, the way Arthur fighted the demons and how he keep winning from everything, except that one time he drink the Ivy and pretty much got drunk to the poimt he mistook someone as Gwen and kiss them.
Professor is much more livelier than ever, sometimes he keep mistaking a formula but that didn't stop him.
Students' can't help but asked them where Ms.Claire is, if course some of those people who witnessed Ms.Claire being ine of the mole, didn't say anything as they keep their mouth shut.
All they keep saying that, "Ms.Claire need to take care of her parents."
That words engraved to their mind without even knoeing the real reason, and it's better to stay like that. The other mole, lay low as they already noticed that something is off.
Even though Caspian is pretty much with Arthur, Khairro is silent the whole time.At this point, he knew that something is wrong from how he didn't took a sip of his favorite tea. Caspian pretty much know that his brother love tea than everything and now, he's not his usual self.
The Headmaster is acting very weird too, she's seem very jumpy and sometimes get easily startled. Caspian wanted to asked her what's wrong, but if he did he might spill the upcoming trouble heading her way.
Gwen and Valerie, are pretty much opened about what they were doing, the people around them didn't complained and judt supported the two from their relationship.
Now, they have the two main couple of the Academy;Arthur and Caspian, Gwen and Valerie.
Stein and Maxine have been very protective all of a sudden, they keep asking if something is wrong with Caspian or is he sick. But, he's fine and nothing seems very out of the place, except that one time he suddenly feels like everything is spinning, the way his chest tighten up and of course, his bidy glowing brightly.
But one thing that scares him the most is, some small particles is leaving his body and headin up there. He can even see his body turning transparent and how his body glowing.
But of course, he didn't tell anyone about this.He can solve it alone anyway, but ut was the same feeling he felt when he stayed at the house where his brother is staying at.
It's scary for him to go through that, but he just brushed it off saying that maybe it was his mana acting up again.
The novel is finished and he can probably tell Gwen about it cause it feels like he need to tell her.Now, Caspian is going back to the spot that Gwen is waiitng for him, the journal and the egg that us hiddeb with layers of sheets.
Of course the two picked a very secured place that students' wouldn't find suspicious or else the two might get in trouble.
"What's that?" Gwen saw the approaching male with a bundle of layers at one hand, and the other is holding a very thick book.
"It's a suprise." Caspian took a seat next to her, giving the journal to her while he keeps holding the egg between his arms.
"This look pretty much alot, did you write something or took down notes?"
"No, it's a story that I made. I pretty much got inspire with the people here, including you as the female lead and Arthur is the male lead."
"That's gros— I mean yay?" Gwen chuckled nervously, she almost said that it's gross that she was partnered up with Arthur but she can't hurt her friend feelings that created this novel.
"Read it and you would totally like it." Caspian smiled, Gwen reached out and opened the book.
The title is engraved with a very beautiful handwriting with a black ink, but there's no name of the Author;Caspian.
"If you noticed it, I didn't write my name since It's not right, like I mean it's feel wrong putting my name there."
Caspian lied without blinking, he can't just put his name because he wasn't the author at all! He don't even know what's the author name because it wasn't there. No name of the author was put and all that Caspian can call that person is Author.
Gwen only hum, flipping the page of the book.She was quickly impressed how beautiful the moments and the details of the characters is.
Both of them didn't notice how much time have passed as both of them are busy from reading the book that Caspian recreated.
The egg itself was very warm, it was glowing faintly that Caspian didn't even notice it.
-----
"So you're saying Claire was caught?" Samael hum, staring outside the dark clouds.Some demon creatures flying around with people screaming at the bottom.The screamed sound very pleasing to his ears.
