Stunned

Seven Sins System Chapter 185. Stunned

Stepping out of the portal, I made my way back to the academy, my footsteps echoing against the pavement. As I approached the entrance to the academy, my thoughts turned to Aria, whom I had expected to be waiting for me near the gate. But I was wrong, she wasn't there.

I exhaled in relief and continued to eat my chips happily. But as I neared the male dormitory, I caught a glimpse of her standing near the entrance to the male dorm. Our gaze met. Her face brightened when she saw me.

Another exhaled out of my mouth, this time a long tired one.

As I approached, she greeted me warmly, a smile playing on her lips. "Hey there," she said, her voice like a melody, "I was starting to worry that you would never come back to the dorm."

I couldn't help but let out a forced chuckle. "Sorry, I was just delayed," I replied.

Aria's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Why did it take you so long?" she asked, her tone light and playful.

I lifted the bag of chips, drawing her attention to them. "I accidentally ran into a friend and a woman," I explained. "She needed my help, and I was happy to assist. As a token of gratitude, she gave me this bag of chips."

Aria's eyebrows lifted in surprise. "Really?" she asked, a hint of disbelief in her voice. "Was she your friend's girlfriend?"

I shook my head from side to side. "No, she was just someone in need," I replied.

Aria beamed, a bright smile spreading across her face. "That's great to hear," she said, her voice filled with genuine happiness. "It's good to know that you didn't act like a devil and demand a high fee for your help."

I couldn't help but smile awkwardly. I knew it was a compliment, for an angel at least. But I was the devil and I wasn't happy with it. "Yeah, I try to do the right thing," I replied, a hint of nervousness still present in my voice.

Then I lowered the bag of chips in my hand and spoke again. "It's been a long day," I said. I made my voice fill with exhaustion. "I'm pretty tired and just want to get some rest."

Aria nodded, her eyes softening with understanding. "Of course," she said, "I completely understand." I thought she would take her to leave then, but I was wrong. Suddenly, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around me in a warm embrace.

I was taken aback by her sudden gesture, my heart racing in my chest. No, not because of happiness, but because of surprise. And I tried to hold my instinct to brush her away since if she did this, it was usually for attacking purposes.

Her embrace was tight, almost as if she never wanted to let go. Her hair was soft against my cheek, and I could smell the delicate scent of lavender and roses. The fabric of her shirt was soft under my hands, and I could feel the warmth of her body against mine.

As Aria pulled back from the embrace, I found myself standing frozen in place, completely shocked and speechless. This sudden display of affection caught me off guard, and I was left grappling with my emotions. After all, Aria and I had only just met that morning and had no previous relationship to speak of.

I stood there like a statue, my mind racing as I tried to make sense of what had just happened. I was confused by her sudden movement, and the conflicting emotions that were now coursing through me left me feeling bewildered.

My eyes were wide, taking in the sight of her as she stood there before me, a small smile on her lips. I could see the kindness and warmth in her gaze, and I couldn't help but wonder what could have prompted such a display of affection.

The silence between us was heavy, as I struggled to find the words to express my thoughts. My mind was a jumbled mess, and I was left feeling stunned.

As the moment lingered, Aria's cheeks began to flush a soft shade of pink, and she stepped back. "I'm sorry," she apologized.

"Is everything okay?" I asked once I could let out my voice. It was a random question I could think of.

Aria offered me a gentle smile, but she didn't respond to my question. Instead, she simply turned on her heel and started to walk away.

I was left standing there, feeling bewildered and confused. The sudden turn of events left me feeling like I was caught in a dream. I couldn't help but wonder what had just happened, and what it all meant.

As I watched Aria's retreating form, I couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion. She was over five centuries old, and yet she had acted like a lovesick teenager.  It was her first day and she already hugged me, maybe next she would say she loved me. And a few days later maybe she would moan on my bed while I fucked her. Then later, she might become my slut that groped my body annoyingly 24/7. What the hell was going on?!

Well, I should be happy with that, but it still felt weird to me. Our relationship was one of enemies, two powerful beings locked in an eternal battle. We had tried to kill each other for hundreds of years. But in our human forms, everything seemed to be different. I wondered what it would have been like if we had met in this form first, before ever crossing paths on the battlefield 300 years ago.

"Puriel," I whispered to myself. My gaze was still on where Puriel went. "If our first encounter had been in human form, would things be different between us?" The thought lingered in my mind. Then I entered the male dorm and went to my room.
