[Third Person POV]
Ryujin didn't go to work today. He had already finished his work for the month and was on a leave for a week. He went straight to his dorm and started playing some games.
He just wanted to get the whole Clara situation out of his mind. The whole situation made his mood gloomy. While he was gaming his pets came near him.
They rubbed their head on his leg. Ryujin understood their intention.
"You guys want to take a walk together ?"
The pets just wiggled their tails vigorously.
Ryujin brought a leash for Chip. Kuro and Tuck didn't like being on a leash but they would usually follow Ryujin.
"Lets me change my clothes."
Ryujin changed into a half sleeved white colored shirt and black trousers. He took his pets on a walk.
"It is quite unusual for Kuro and Tuck to go an a walk with me."
Kuro and Tuck always preferred being alone and walking alone. They liked to go on a walk with Ryujin alone but today when they saw Ryujin enter the room with a gloomy expression,they wanted to cheer him up.
He meant the world to them. When the whole world abandoned them Ryujin was there to pick them up.
After taking a walk for a while, Ryujin sat on a bench. Tuck and Kuro sat on his lap while Chip layed below him.
"How long has it been since we have stayed like this?"
Ryujin was enjoying this moment when he felt the senstation of a cold can on his cheek. He looked at his left and saw Clara holding a drink for him.
"Hey!"
Clara greeted Ryujin. Ryujin grabbed the drink and moved to the side for Clara to sit.
"Come.sit!"
Clara sat besdie Ryujin. Ryujin noticed that the drink Clara got him was a beer. Ryujin loved beer.
"Ryujin. How are you feeling right now ?"
"Hmm. Don't worry Clara it's not your fault."
Clara also knew about the rumors that was being spread around. She blushed a little when her friends asked about Ryujin but when she heard more of the rumours,she was angry.
"Oh that Ryujin is such a playboy. Sometimes he talks with lady Ciel and sometimes with Clara."
"Yeah! Such a lowlife playing with two girls hearts."
If talking to girl was a sin then Ryujin would be a sinner. This was the mentality of the academy towards Ryujin. Ryujin didn't give a shit about the rumours but he did feel sad when his friends tried to question him about this same thing.
Ryujin looked at Clara. Clara had a gloomy expression on her face.
"People are like this Clara. They presume things for their own entertainment. It has always been like this and will always be like this. We know that there is nothing like that between us and that is enough."
"Yeah."
Clara gave him a small smile. Ryujin opened his can.
"Cheers."
Clara also opened her drink.
"Cheers."
Both of them took a sip of their drink.
Clara looked at his pets.
"Such cute animals."
After that Ryujin and Clara kept talking with each other. Both of them were in a world of their own.

Ryujin returned to his dorm and started preparing for dinner.
"Knock! Knock!"
"Coming. Wait that sounded sus."
Ryujin opened the door. He saw Geroge and Paul waiting for him. Both of them were carrying a bag.
"What is the occasion today boys? Did one of you lose your virginity or something?"
"No" Both of them replied in unison.
They looked at each other.
"We are sorry for you know... assuming things about Clara."
"Well you guys knew how I would react and it kinda hurt me a bit."
Paul and George felt even more guilty. Ryujin was their best mate and was always there for them. They knew Ryujin was disappointed when he walked away from the cafetria.
"We really are sorry."
"I mean I will forgive you, if the gifts that you have brought are decent."
Paul and Geroge gave him the bag. Ryujin checked the bag and saw boxes of chocolate and cans of beers inside them.
"My brothers.. Come inside. Don't worry everybody makes mistakes."
Paul and George knew Ryujin had a craze for choclate and alcohol. They always found his behaviour funny when he saw chocolates and alcohol.
Paul and George picked up Ryujin's gaming console and started playing. Ryujin went back to the kitchen and started cooking.
"Actually, this time we didn't tease you because we assumed you had a girlfriend. I would actually be happy that you got yourself one."
Paul said to Ryujin. His intention was never to hurt Ryujin.
Ryujin couldn't understand their intention.
"Then why were you guys looking angry ?"
Geroge frowned. It looked as if he was remembering something.
"Its just that we don't like Clara that much. Kinda feel uncomfortale around her. She doesn't talk to anybody that much and is quite rude. We thought she was trying to play you."
Ryujin was bit shocked to hear this information. To him, Clara had a chill vibe and was co-operative.
'Hmm.. Something fishy is going on.'
Ryujin started to connect many dots that were floating in his heads. Finally he came to an answer.
'Bingo!'
'System message Arthur.'
[As you wish.]
' I am gonna have fun with you.'
Ryujin was smirking while speaking with himself.
Paul and George saw his smirk. They whispered to each other.
"Not that face again! He definetly will make a huge mess again."

"Clack! Clack!" The sound of chains clashing with each other was heard around a room. Inside the room a person was sitting on a throne. The throne was made up of heads of humans. Each face was a disorted one.
The skin was still intact and blood was still flowing the mouths of the heads.
The person didn't have any features. His facial and body features couldn't be seen. Only a black figure and the chains around his arms were visible.
"How long Orien? How long should I wait for the head of Ciel Ignis. Your attack on the mall failed. You have lost every minion and pawn I gave you. You are pretty much proving useless to me now."
The voice rang around the whole room. It was a deep and demonic voice. Every word that came out was terrifying.
Infront of that person, there was another person who was kneeling.
"Your majesty! The plan will not fail this time. I will definetly bring you her head."
"I really hope you do. I don't want to add a collection to my throne."
"I-I will not disappoint you."
As soon as she said that she was teleported to a jungle. Her whole body was shaking in fear. She held a picture in her hand. It was of Ciel.
" I will make sure to slit your throat you vampire bitc*h "h
