20 Heads

His ignorance amazed me, people from the east have been trading with the people of our lands "Have you not heard of Ramen?" Finishing the noodles I set them on the tables

He shook his head "This is the first time I saw something like this" he sat down on one of the chairs and pulled a bowl closer to him

I sigh going to the stool and walking the two steps up, I wash my hands with the running water and climb to the chair beside him "How are you-" I stop as I stare at the abomination on how he eats it.

This boy is eating the ramen. . WITH HIS HANDS! "Ow that burns how do you eat this?" He continued and at some point let his hands dip into the hot water for three seconds "I got it, wait no!" It slipped off his hands he then let out a long sigh "How do you eat this?"

I was a little out of words with what he did. . "You uhh. ." Yes I know the answer for this, the easier one ". . Use the fork" I would teach him how to use chopsticks but not now

"Okay!" Seraph looked for the fork and raised his spoon "This is the fork right?"

After several minutes of internal screaming I finally got him to learn how to use the proper utensils, thankfully he's a fast learner but he's seriously gonna give me a head ache "Alright so how is it?" When I open my eyes and turn to him I see him stuck in place

I observe him from my spot and then he spoke "Its so good I just have to savor every taste of it!" I chuckle and I finish eating letting him eat the rest of mine because he seemed unsatisfied.

"I'll go to my room so find me there if you need me" Seraph does not reply, being too caught up with the food I prepared.

When I close the door behind me and walk towards the stairs Krill approached me letting out a sigh "Even after he watched us he completely forgot about it"

I look at him and tilted my head "About what mr krill?"

"I'm merging your rooms together so that you both can study better" He crosses his arms

I stare at him "Seraph really will be my classmate? From what I hear this will be-" Wait he's actually merging our rooms, does this man know no shame for us!?

My thoughts were stopped when he asked a question in a more serious tone "You'll be entering a fellowship contract with him so I have to ask what do you think of Seraph?"

What do I think of seraph. . Well for starters "He's happy-go-lucky, dense and a bit ignorant of everything I feel like he'll give me a headache" I let out a sigh

Krill then smiled "You're right thats exactly who he is, and how he treats everyone" Subtle as it may be krill had a message in that piece

Cherry caught attention of that message and suddenly realizes "When you put it that way. . He's really kind then" thats right seraph treats everyone the same way, though a minor detail like that wouldn't matter to most but to me it means a lot.

When people here mention the name Cherry they set me above a stool and practically praise me, but seraph treats me the same as everyone else and there's no exception to it even titles ". . seraph is. ." My throat runs dry I wind up confused.

Krill patted me in the head "One day everyone will treat you the same way as seraph does, just start with what you can do, make your way to your room I'll go fetch Seraph" I nodded and run to my room.

My hands were shaking and tears flowed down my eyes, I grabbed my napkin to wipe them but it falls down my hand and I curl up my fist to wipe the tears off, "for the first time someone tore down that wall" she opens the lights and it showed the rooms now merged together, this were symbolically in sync with how she thought at that moment and just chuckles "Oh come on now, I feel like fate is just making fun of me now"
