"Well, I'm going to eat lunch out here, so you two don't have to wait for me"
"Oh, no that's fine, I usually carry my lunch around anyway," says Aerina pulling out a sandwich.
"Me too," said Laura taking out a lunch box.
"Oh, this is surprising"
"Yes, I agree"
"This is amazing," Aerina whispered softly at their situation.
The three sat there under the shade of the tree, eating their lunch while looking into the distance where forest, hills, mountains, and a very distinct city far far off into the distance can be seen.
(Somehow, Ms.Aerina's words help me a lot, like a weight off my shoulders..yeah, I think I know what to do now)
(Mmm~ so delicious) Aerina enjoy her lunch while smiling softly at the food in her hands.
(He's really him....) Laura's mind process the information and come to that realization while staring at her food as if it will come to life to give her a solution.
(Someone already confessed to him....)
"Ms.Bernard?"
"?"
Laura turns to the side to see Callum looking at her.
"What is it?"
"Is your food that delicious?"
"? Yes, it is, why do you ask?"
"You're crying"
"!!!"
Laura whipped her head to the side quickly and began wiping her eyes with tears coming down.
(Why am I crying?!)
She panicked, then surprised that she is panicking at something random like this.
"!!!"
(What is happening?!)
"Are you that hungry? You can have this if you want" Callum pulls out a thermos for her.
"N-No thank you"
"Its alright to eat a lot you know? Get some cheat day from time to time"
(I'm not dieting that harshly!)
Surprise again, Laura found herself expressing her thought emotionally and in a drastic way.
(What's happening to me?!)
"....."
"....."
The thermos came in contact with her shoulder and was push against her repeatedly.
"Just take it, its nice and warm"
"...Thank you..."
"Its still cool out here so this should warm you up"
"...."
The sound of the lid opening seems to mimic the feeling she is feeling right now.
(Ugh...what's wrong me today?)
"?"
(It smells great)
"....."
Callum continue on eating his food while Laura take a moment to enjoy the taste of the soup from the thermos.
The soup flow into her mouth smoothly along with small pieces of mushrooms and carrot that are soft and hot that she can enjoy by chewing them slowly, the temperature is also warm enough to keep it in her mouth without burning the inside.
"This is delicious" said Laura after some time.
(Wait, shouldn't I have said this when I first tasted it?) Laura then realized how she felt as if her guard had been lowered around him for a while now
"Thanks, I'm glad you like it, Ms.Bernard"
".....", Laura continue looking at him even after he returns to eating his sandwich.
"....Maverick?"
"Oh, its fine if you call me Callum, its easier anyway, and I'm not that strict when people address me"
"I see...then....Ca-Ca"
"??"
"Cal" Laura said those three letters and stops, her face flushing.
(Seriously! What is going on?!)
"...Are you blushing Ms.Bernard?"
"..No"
"Woah, you really blush"
"....O_O!"
(Wow, I didn't know she could turn this red) he thought it is quite cute seeing this change in her usual calm and collected expression.
Callum felt tempted to say something else, but fear that she would have fainted due to the blood rushing to her face.
"Please...don't stare that hard"
"So, it's okay to look?"
".....!"
"Sorry, I'm just kidding, I will look away now"
"Geez"
_________
"What's this?" ask Clara.
"Lunch date of course" Shin replied with a smile.
"Aren't you supposed to be with Alaine?"
"What? Why?"
"Because you two can't keep your hands away from each other" Clara crossed her arms and look sternly at him.
"...Well, that's true"
(No denying huh?)
"What? Jealous?"
"Yes"
"...."
(Oh....)
Seeing Clara face change to a sad one while retaining the unapproachable expression she is giving, Shin realized how much he hurt her just by being with Alaine more than Clara.
"Is it because she's smaller than me?" she hugs her arm and look to the side with a downcast gaze.
"What? No!"
"Then why do you keep hugging her whenever you want? When you didn't do it with me?"
"Well..that's, because...Agh this is embarrassing but...." Shin walk toward Clara and without saying anything grab her breast.
"What was that for?!"
"See? Its because your breasts are so big if I just hug you like that everyone will get to see it, and I can't let any guy or girl see it, only I can, got that?"
"...Then what about Alaine?"
"She's just needy, she's a tsundere after all but can't express it directly so I have to show her that its okay to express herself more honestly"
"...That's all?"
"Yes, and besides" Shin then pull Clara close to him, his hands around her waits and nothing in between them.
"I miss hugging you so bad"
"Shin~", Clara turns soft upon hearing his words and melted into his arms.
(Ah, so soft~)
He then grabs her butt and pushes her up from the ground holding her tight while supporting her nice firm butt.
"Woah!"
"Let me make it up to you then"
"Wha-?"
Shin then teleports away into one of the storage rooms he found.
The two would return to class, one minute late panting heavily, red in the face.
