Rey and Adonis walked in silence.
The Imperial Academy Grounds were very large—even if it was just the section for the Basic Stages. Hectares upon Hectares of land spread out for multifarious purposes, so it caused everything to feel breezy and uncongested.
Dragons could always fly too, so the distance wasn't particularly a bother.
Rey had hoped to take advantage of this long distance, and guide their path towards a restaurant—partly because he wanted to eat, but also because he hoped he and Adonis could eat together—but so far, it seemed to have worked to his detriment.
For minutes, neither he nor Adonis had said anything.
Finally resolved to break the seemingly unending awkwardness, Rey decided to stop overthinking and overanalyzing.
He simply had to take the bull by the horns and ask—
"I know what you want to tell me." Adonis' gentle, steady voice oozed into the air, easily breaking the deafening silence between the two.
