He searched and took out adorable erasers for each of them. He didn't say anything but shoved them toward the other three. All of them saw three different colored Chibi-type erasers. They were blue, red, and pink. It was a very cute action. Sera teased him saying, "Cute boy."
Aaron scratched his head and didn't say anything else. The first one was Ace, he carefully chose the color and took the blue one, "Let me have this it's good for boys." Ace saw Aaon have blue one too. If he can show everyone that this person's and his erasers are of the same colors, then their love life would already be considered started. He for a moment thought, he is very smart. Later he felt he shouldn't be thinking like this and blamed the character of this person.
Sera chose pink and Kent red. They happily ate the dessert and drank coffee. The payment was done by Ace, "I didn't give you all anything. So, it's on me." Again, that expression of a rich guy. It was so funny that Aaron had his lips tilted up forming almost a visible smile. Ace hid him from these two with his body.
They didn't argue over the payment and went back to the dorm. Along the way, they received countless examining stares. It's impossible to ignore these four. One is the topper, one is a tyrant, and the other two are rare, beautiful twins. On the first day, they garnered everyone's attention. This made Aaron feel extremely uncomfortable. He just wished to run into the dorm and go to the library.
They exchanged their numbers due to the strong argument between the twins. Aaron felt good seeing them together. His contact list has only two numbers which were also teachers of the old school. He saved their names with full names. Due to this, he was called an old disciplined man. Sera and Kent teased him so much that Ace had to step between them. He said, "Let's go. I want to take a shower." His intervention didn't cause any skepticism.
The school is very big and so is the library. Aaron almost screamed, "I Love the Library". The original character was in love with these silent corridors and shelves of books. He spent his entire afternoon in the library. When dinner time was about twenty minutes he went back to the dorm to leave the study materials before going for dinner.
However, the first thing he saw after pushing the door was the delicious food scattered over the table. Ace saw his cutie coming and said in a haughty tone, "Come and eat."
Aaron shook his head, "I would like to eat from the cafeteria. You eat."
Ace frowned. He stepped ahead and grabbed his hand without any force. He made Aaron sit and displayed his dissatisfaction, "Eat. Don't let me force you." He wants to be gentle yet right after opening his lips words would turn cruel. He berated himself in the heart. Yet still appearing haughty. The system said, "Host you are the best." You can control this contradiction so easily. She even clapped for him.
But Ace only wants to kill her.
He didn't let Aaron say anything else and passed him already sliced meat and mixed noodles. They had taken all this tasty food from home. Aaron had his lips pursed a little but he ate it and Ace smiled like he had gained triumph over something special. Seeing their interaction Sera exclaimed, "I knew it! You two are like those bl romantics characters. The male lead is worried for his lover so he urges him to eat despite being cold."
Ace asked with a curious face, "Aren't there more boys like us?" This girl was rubbed off by her previous life's obsession. He felt this was a good thing. At least he can rest assured about Aaron being eyed by others. These two can look after Aaron.
Sera replied with all sincerity, "There are, and I have ship then. But I just feel like you two matched perfectly. I love reading ancient bl novels and comics. They are very good. Even Kent likes them. Don't tell him. He will kill me if he knows." She ate a mouthful of meat and grabbed the juice. She ate without restraint.
Ace didn't say anything else. Aaron just nodded. Both thought the lady had a reversed personality from the last one. She isn't shy like last time. Aaron poked the tasty meat which cannot be distinguished and asked, "Is this pork?"
Ace replied, "No they are chicken. Why you don't eat pork?"
Aaron nodded and ate one piece of meat. His cheeks bulged cutely. His lips glistened due to its oil. Ace seeing this had the impulse to kiss him. He barely maintained his calm appearance.
Ace was about to say something when Sera said, "Frid, you should eat more. Be more healthy. You can have the same body as Ricardo." Then you'd be very very compatible with him. She thought and smiled deeply. Her expression made Aaron and Acr shiver.
In these difficult times, Kent came in. He said, "These young master and mistress are way too demanding. They asked for notes, numbers then a date. I almost yell at them."
Ace frowned he said, "They are like this because they are dreaming. Once they got this hand's beating, they would never ask again." He wants to try his bully character here once. Then he will see who dares to ask for their number.
Sera couldn't help but ask, "You beat people?"
Ace instead asked, "Do I look like one?"
Kent replied caressing his chin, "I don't think you are a bully. It's more like your character is just rough." Ace saw Sera nod and Kent too. His expectant gaze landed on Aaron, and he nodded too. Seeing this was so satisfying.
He explained, "I teased a boy before. He was very clingy you know. I let him clean the entire toilet of our school. From then on these bullies-type rumors spread. My mother threatened me with family property."
Hearing his whole story, they didn't believe all of them. They had a face, 'Are you kidding me?' There was no news of something like this happening. It was said that this young master beat one of his teachers and was expelled from the school. As for why that teacher was beaten no one knows about it. As for the family property, it would be naturally his. He is the true son of Lennox. His elder brother can't snatch it from him. As for his mother, it is known that they love him dearly.
Sera asked shoving aside his weird excuse, "I heard you are engaged. Is that true?"
Ace instead asked again, "How do you know about it?"
Sera and Kent blinked at each other and replied, "Who doesn't know this!?"
Sera said, "Everyone knows about it. The Stewart family and I are friends. They were talking about it with our family head. This matter was not concealed at all."
"Why did you not know about it?"
Hearing this Aaron felt a little sour. Now the food isn't mouthwatering. Is this jealousy? Maybe. He never thought of Ace being with others before. In their last life, they married very fast. Ace never left him alone, loving him wholly.
Ace replied asap, "This matter was hidden. None of our family members told others about it." Ace couldn't read Aaron's expression at all. His face is blank. Ace sighed at his bad luck and replied, "That was in the past. I was very small back then. I want to break the engagement. Because I have someone I like."
Kent asked, "Who do you like?"
Ace replied, "I found Frid cute."
The three people had faces as if asking, 'So?'. Act didn't say anything else and took a mouthful of noodles.
Kent said skipping his not full words, "If so, then you should hurry and break this so-called engagement. I have a cousin in foreign. I don't want to say this but that fiancée of yours is not as good as people say. And she would be coming soon."
Ace nodded and replied, "I know everything. I will talk with them and if they don't agree they can't blame me for being ruthless."
Aaron ate slowly hearing this his mood turned better. The twins asked question over question but couldn't get the answer. Ace saw Aaron eating well. His heart melted right away seeing his little treasure eating cutely. He ate his fully and went out for a walk to talk with his lackey.
Aaron didn't mind his jealousy very much. He spread his notes and books and started to take notes. The twins did the same and after some time Sera left the room before eight PM. The girl's dormitory was not very far, so she went alone.
This routine of waking up early, eating, classes, lunch, library, dinner, and then sleeping continued for a month. Except for the twins' argument, everything was fine.
In these past days Ricardo, the bully slowly opened up his secret for being obedient. He said that if he completed his studies well at this academy then his parents wouldn't interfere with his matter. He likes to be free and a stalwart. In the past, he was not allowed to do activities such as racing cars and boxing but if he is done with this university then he would be free from his parents' clutch.
Aaron didn't feel wrong because, in the original plot line, Ricardo was the same. This attitude led Frid to become friends with Ricardo. He didn't do anything to harm others till Zoie came. If the plot is going as it was then Zoie would enter the Academy the next month. Even though Ace said he would break their engagement, Aaron felt uncomfortable thinking about it. So, he asserted his fixation on the study.
But his anxiety was felt by Ace. Aaron would never talk with him despite his hundred words. He couldn't help but stay close to Aaron. Even if he went OOC sometimes the system led it to pass because Ace said, human emotions can't be controlled and fixed. It can change depending on one's reasoning. If Aaron is so cute then Ace being soft to him is reasonable.
The system couldn't argue about this with Ace and had to complain about it to the Character Development Department. He hoped to punish Ace but to his surprise, the department didn't take the anticipated action. They just accepted the complaint and issued the new notice saying, it is right.
Ace would give special attention to the school topper. His gaze would constantly be on Frid even in the classroom. He seemed to never get tired of all this. But their reaction would attract many gazes that the school forum burst on the first week of July.
The unknown account posted, "The topper and tyrant have been intimate recently. They share everything including the eraser, water bottle, and snacks, [The eraser given to Ricardo by Frid has the same color: BLUE]. Ricardo Lennox had his gaze constantly on Frid Lino of Class A. Something about them is very fishy. They never separated for even a second. I saw them stepping in and going out together. They would go in the bathroom together and come out together. They would eat together and for the last few weeks, Ricardo started to follow Frid even in the library. He is like a stalker but Frid doesn't seem to care. He would never reject any of his actions.
I even saw them accidentally bumping and lost in each other's gazes. They seemed completely in their dreamland. I boldly guess that they are in love. Comment whatever you think, but this is my speculation after seeing their interactions. I'm not going to delete this post."
Fairy Jihu: [I don't believe Ricardo is gay. He had countless girlfriends in the past. Every one of them was beautiful and rich. How can he fall for a guy who is so poor?]
Claudy Sky: [I'm with you. I can't believe it either. Frid is very gloomy and not the type that Ricardo would like. It's just weird. They must be friends nothing more.]
Dr. Good: [But still, the post is not wrong. They are always together. Ricardo could choose Frid due to his top grades. Everyone wants to be friends with him.]
Butterfly :[Who wants to befriend that gloomy guy? I would be better off without him. Ricardo is just joking and nothing.]
Uk: [They are not together. Because Ricardo is already engaged, the previous rumors about his girlfriends were all fake. Frid is not Ricardo's type in the first place.]
Butterfly: [I heard this too. So the rumor is true. Hey, delete this post right now. You will make the already engaged people fall apart.]
.....
The forum however didn't affect all the four members, except Sera and Kent who glinted in their eyes whenever they saw two of them close. It was very uncomfortable. Ace however just remained uncaring. He just let the rumors spread. His interaction with Frid also stayed the same. Until the day Zoie came, Ricardo restrained himself. But afterward, Zoie gave him an (odds) of being close to Frid.
