"Both of you are going together?" Noah inquired as his eyes shifted from Erika to Rebecca.
All five inhabitants of the house were currently sitting at the dining table and were eating their breakfast which was toast, eggs, and coffee.
"No, there are three of us going together." Erika corrected while looking at Alec. "Rebecca and Alec are on a leave for a week from their respective places in case we can't move in with you both."
Noah and Izzy nodded in understanding as they continued to eat their dinner.
"Izzy, you have the spare pair of keys for the house right?" Erika inquired as Izzy nodded in reply. "We might come early but if we don't, you both can stay in the house once you return."
Once they were done with the usual talks and their breakfast, all of them split up.
"So where are we going to go first?" Izzy inquired as the two of them stood outside her house.
"To the black market," Noah replied with a shrug before he started walking towards the central portion of the city.
"Do you think they will just let us stride in?" Izzy questioned. "No scratch that. How do you even know where the black market is situated?"
"There is nothing that the internet can't tell you. As for entering it, we won't face any problems." Noah reassured.
Izzy sighed exasperatedly. "The things you do sometimes are next level."
"I'm next level so what I do will automatically turn next level." Noah grinned as the two of them started seeing cafes and other shops around them.
Many couples, some from their school, were out on dates in the cafes.
Noah momentarily thought of entering one such place with Izzy but it would only be a waste of money as well as time.
"Noah, what is the academy that will allow us to move in with our parents?" Izzy suddenly asked as they entered the central market of the city.
"It's the Soulika academy. We will have to explain our circumstances to the principal once she comes here the next time." Noah replied back before suddenly pausing in front of a candy shop.
Izzy followed his gaze towards the candy shop and furrowed her eyebrows as it looked like just any other candy shop.
"I will be back in a minute," Noah muttered before slipping inside the candy shop.
Izzy watched him go with a sigh as she distracted herself by looking around the crowd. It had been quite some time since she had come out to explore a place like this.
'I wonder how Noah feels currently. He was afraid of stepping out of his house on holidays previously yet he now has the power to do anything he wants.' Izzy wondered silently.
Her eyes shifted back to the candy shop as Noah stepped out with… two cotton candies.
Izzy squinted a bit to see whether he was hiding some kind of secret password in the cotton candy yet no matter how much she stared at the cotton candies, they looked plain.
"Why are you looking at the cotton candies as though they might explode?" Noah raised an eyebrow while holding a cotton candy in her direction.
"You looked as though you had just seen a ghost of someone dead." Izzy sighed while taking the cotton candy from Noah. "You didn't to be so dramatic."
"Here I thought that girls liked it when I acted dramatically." Noah acted as though he was hurt by Izzy's words.
"You are talking as though you have girls fawning over you every second." She taunted yet it seemed to have the opposite effect on Noah.
"I'm handsome enough for women to be down on my feet and beg me to make babies with them," Noah replied with a completely serious face.
Izzy burst into laughter that instant, gaining herself a few stares from those walking around the road. Though no one paid her more than a few seconds of attention.
"Oh god, I pity the woman who says that." She managed to say while laughing.
However, Izzy couldn't prevent her eyes from staring at Noah's body.
He wasn't exactly buff but still had some pretty good muscles. He was only a few inches taller than her, making them both taller than the average.
Noah's hair was silk black like his mother's, the type of hair one would want to put their hands into while kissing.
'Oh, what the hell am I thinking. Focus on eating the candy, Izzy!' Izzy shook her head once to clear her thoughts before taking a bite of the candy.
It melted right inside her mouth and gave her a weird feeling of happiness. Eating desserts or sweets can do that to a person.
"I guess you do have girls that like you," Izzy muttered a few seconds later as she took another bite out of the cotton candy.
"I can't help it. I'm just too handsome that people can't avoid looking at me." Noah joked before he too took a bite of the cotton candy.
He could feel Izzy's gaze lingering on his face and saw that her cheeks were slightly flushed.
'If only you weren't this stubborn about hiding the fact that you liked me.' Noah thought with a mental sigh.
"Anyways, let's get going." He said while continuing to advance towards the black market's entrance.
Izzy trailed behind him while eating her cotton candy, her eyes focused on him.
Noah guided them through a lot of turns as they ended up in a less crowded area of the city.
The crowd from the central area had long since vanished as they were now in the Northern section of the city, a place rarely visited by the duo.
"Is it me or does this place feels more chilly?" Izzy inquired while rubbing her arms.
"It's more chilly here," Noah replied calmly as he suddenly stopped and turned back.
Izzy was dressed in a full sleeve blue top and comfortable black jeans that didn't stick too tightly to her body.
Ever since she had unlocked her ice affinity, she didn't feel much cold as compared.
However, she had started shivering moments after they had entered the Northern section of the city, Izzy had started shivering.
"The reason for this sudden increase of coldness is the fact that it is artificial," Noah spoke aloud. "After all, the kind woman hiding behind that pillar wants both of us to be frozen alive."
