Hearing her words alastor wanted to say something but she went inside followed by the sighing alastor..
" Hello professor,...how are you" aurora with her kind voice asked the librarian, who answered her with a little smile.." I am alright..are you both here to borrow some books"..
" No professor... actually we were late for our class and principal sir gave us punishment..so we are here to help you" hearing her words librarian was stunned because it's not like aurora to come late and that too on her first day ..
" Guess you are to blame huh?" He said looking at Alastor, who smiled awkwardly..
" Very well..." He pointed to alastor and gave him instructions " then you both can start with north side.. some cleaning is needed there and aurora, child you help me put these books on their rightful places... after that you both have to go to south side book shelves and clean them up too...okay.."
Hearing the works they have to do... alastor was crying inside...* I got her in this , why didn't I woke up early today...no..why did we got caught...* He thought while signing...
" No need to sign like an old man, my star... let's get to work..the sooned we start ,the earlier we will be able to finish.." she said while ruffling his hair gently...and a smile soon bloomed on alastor's face...

" Now I regret why I am a lighting elemental..and not a wind elemental.." he sighed today for nth time ..but his complaining voice came with consequences..
" Oh I didn't knew you thought so highly of me my dear master" a voice came with thunder eruption..and soon a figure of a lion with white fur and glowing jewels emerged..
" Hehe...my little Leo ..is here...aww..how cute my little Leo is looking " he praised the magestic being who looked proud, knowing the consequences of offending him very well... even though his attacks won't work at him but they will definitely work on the people and things around him...and he don't wanna suffer another punishment...
"Can't you help me Leo...do you want to see me suffer like this" alastor whined in front of Leo who looked weirdly at his owner...but then decided to leave without giving a answer, leaving a stunned alastor behind who had a dark expression on his face...
" Now who caused my little star to be pouting so cutely" seeing him pissed off with a dark expression...she asked the guy who changed his expression quicker than a fox changing its direction..
" I need a hug , I am tired.." he said with a cute , innocent expression...he have mastered thanks to his father...
" You didn't even start cleaning and you are tired huh" she knowing his trick fully well...asked..." I can't move until someone hugs me" trying his luck he continued his excuses...
Aurora with a giggle ruffled his hair " how about we work together hmm...first let's clean we will put the books back in their places..okay" she tried to convince alastor who now had cherry like ears..
Alastor nodded and they both get to work..

" Help me clean the upper shelves star.." aurora said while struggling to reach the higher shelves.., alastor who was cleaning the other side came behind her , and when she turned, her face was too close to his chest... making her face go red ..
" Is my little angel blushing.." he teased her ," wh.. who's blushing..humph" she tried to appear angry but with a dawn like face , she was only looking like a beauty beyond description..
Alastor who was stunned with the sight in front of her..was unable to breathe afraid of the sight disappearing from his sight..
His expression made her blush more untill the coughing voice of professor came from behind ( talking about third wheel...he is perfect to be one)..
" Looks like you both are doing great job " he said with a sly smile on his face.. " yeah I was just asking him to clean the upper shelves" aurora said with a genuine expression that even made the professor question himself,if what he saw was right or just some illusion..
" Continue with the good work" he said and left , leaving two teenagers signing...who now unable to face each other..went back to work...

" Here this is the last book , then we are free to go...I am so tired " aurora said after passing the last book to him..
Heaving a sign of relief, he said " all done"
" Should we leave or rest for sometime " he asked looking at the sun set
" No i wanna go back to my dorm..and the whether seems so nice.. let's go outside..".she replied with a soft gaze , making alastor smile as well..
They went outside and started roaming around the garden...the setting sun was making her hair glow like gold..and her eyes that seems to be of darker shade than usual..
He raised his hand to hold her hand gently, aurora smiled and followed him by his side..
" I am 16 and will soon turn 18, and at that time we will both get busy in our Lives.., you will take over grand Duke title and I'll take over saintess title.." she said while looking up , seeing to think about the possibile future ahead of them..
Alastor also looked at her , seemingly contemplating his decision to confess now or wait untill the graduation day ..
" Colour me yours" she said the words with soft voice, almost like a whisper, and moved forward gracefully , after few steps she turned around, her hairs flowing gently with the wind ...but this time more than her beauty or her smile , her words took his breathe away..
" I will.." he said without any hesitation.. seeming to made up his mind.
" Do it soon...or someone else might steal your colours.." she said while laughing teasingly...but for him , it made him more determined to marry her before anyone else ..or he'll have to raise the warflag..
" Wait" he took her hand and pulled her towards him... locking his eyes with hers.." wait for me , can you " he asked with expectations filled eyes.. leaving her soft..
" I will ...but . don't make me wait for long or else .." she didn't complete her sentence but he knew...and he also knew that even though her words says that but her heart will never let her be with anyone else other than him...he is more confident about this than anything else..
He didn't saied anything and hugged her gently while stroking her hairs..." Your magic made me yours" hearing the words , her heart was waiting to hear so long..her eyes teared and she hugged him tighter while trying to hide her face in his chest..
" My light " he gently raised her face , seeing her tear filled eyes and her soft , gentle smile
, he kissed her eyes and forehead .. knowing full well .he still haven't earned the right to kiss her properly...
" Your magic coloured me yours " she whispered..with her eyes closed while placing her hand on his that was holding her face gently..
Soon after she opened her eyes.., meeting with the bright golden one...and he touched his forehead with hers..and smiled.. grateful to finally know her feelings...
" Let me take you to your dorm..my light..."
