Chapter 20 - Karl came for notes.

Zane Reid is a calm and mature. Dylan always viewed this brother of his as a god among men. He has always been admirable. For someone like him to have this kind of thoughts made Dylan a little shock. This person who is his dogma in life is actually afraid of something like this. Dylan said to his nervous elder brother, "Why do you think they won't accept you?"

Zane replied with hopeful look, "I don't know why, just cannot help but doubt them. You know what Dylan; they never accepted any invitation from the Felix Drake. He is gay." He exhaled deeply thinking about his own life, "Felix Drake a man of power. He rules the whole media today, but our parents never talked with him."

Dylan went silent. His gaze cam like lake under the moonlight. Dark and cold. He said to his brother, "Elder brother, what will you do if they don't accept you?" 

Zane held his head with his right hand. Slanting while looking at his brother. He replied, "I don't know." After replying he observed Dylan frowning. He said without giving him any chance to say anything, "I'm still thinking about this. This matter needs more thought."

Dylan's frown eased a lot. He heaves a sigh, "Whatever our parents say don't take them in heart. You cannot listen to whatever they want you to do." Said with full seriousness. Zane nodded agreeing, "I know." 

Zane seems lost in thought. His self-reliance and independence seem to just disappear somewhere. Dylan nodded and said, "If you feel that, I" He smiled a little, "I will not accept you or not support you, please don't think these thoughts." 

Zane looked at his younger brother. His eyes smiling. Suddenly Dylan felt that his brother has been looking at him with different sight. He noticed how his eyes brightened hearing his words.

Zane smelled something. Fresh and tasty food. Then suddenly Zane's eyes fell on the plastic that on the table. It was neatly packed. He stood up and walked to the table. He asked, "You didn't eat breakfast." 

Dylan looked at his hands touching the plastic. He replied, "I brought this for Cassian." Zane noticed his voice softened. Something that even Dylan himself didn't notice. Finding his brother a little different, Zane asked, "Tell me more about this person."

Dylan exposed an unintentional smile. Zane was stunned he thought about something but didn't voice out. The two brothers looked at each other. As if saying something. Through eyes. 

An unknown amount of time spent, and Zane soon left. His face towards outsiders cold and indifferent. Contrasting to his previous expression towards his little brother. 

Dylan felt refresh talking with his brother. He picked the copies and books to leave for classes. Then his gaze landed on the packed food. He touched the slightly warm plastic and placed it on Cassian's study table. He suddenly remembered Cassian smiling at him at the rooftop when the wind started to flow, and their head feels cool and fresh. The moment was peaceful. Cassian has a habit of smiling at him whenever he looks at him intently. This Dylan noticed for a while. 

Dylan walked out of the room. His mind wander. He stepped towards his classroom slowly. He looked outside the blue sky. It is clear and he again remembered and imagined how Cassian's hair would look under this bright and clear sight. The beautiful saffron under bright sunlight. It will appear very beautiful. 

Cassian is in the classroom. He has his note copy piled up with his books. With his focus look, and his long slender fingers gripping the blue pen tightly. His skin color almost as pale as the paper. When the class finished, and teacher went away. Before him stood a tall figure. Cassian looked up. Saw Karl looking down at him. 

"You have notes of these chapter." He pointed down at syllables. with his books wide open. Cassian looked down where he is pointing. He is spreading the book like marking the territory. Looking up and down between Karl and the notes. He does have these notes but because of his earlier attitude he doesn't wish to give him. Karl is a year senior so why does he needs them. Although he thought of this but eventually came to the conclusion that he won't lose anything if he did give him the notes. The people were also looking at him intently. As if they also need his notes. He nodded and replied, "En. I do have these notes." Right as he finished Karl opened his mouth but interrupted by Cassian, "You can click pics but I'm not going to lend it to you."

Listening to him Karl was angered yet this time others reacted faster than him. A lady came ahead and said, "I would like to have them. Can I click them now?" She looked at him hopefully and Cassian also didn't disappoint her, "You can. Go on and click it but please share them with others. I don't have time to wait for all of you." As long as she does her work fast, he doesn't have any problems. He started packing his things to go to the library. 

Karl wanted to say something, but the lady happily nodded and started to click pictures. Noticing her actions Karl pushed her a little away and also clicked the picture. He understood that the shared material will necessary not be complete. The image quality will also have problems. Since he needs these chapters notes for his research, of course Karl will do anything to get the best. Since Cassian isn't willing to give him the copy for few days he can only adjust. Thinking this was he frowned and his sura turned gloomy thinking how he has to come to this bastard for notes. Cassian saw this and exhaled slowly. The lady seems to feel offended as she glared at Karl, but the latter didn't concern himself with her. They were done clicking and Cassian put his notes in his bag and went to the library. others also dispersed.
