Lyn's favor

"Uhh Lyn, can you help me answer some questions again?"

When Lyn heard the word 'questions', she froze momentarily. Ever since the day they kissed, Lyn thought that Devon'd never talk to her anymore. After all, Devon's coldness always made him unapproachable, nor does he try to approach people. Yet, he actually took the initiative to talk to her despite forgetting her.

Why would he talk to me? Is he..using me..?

Although Devon seemed to be a cold person, once you get to know him you'll realise that he is actually nice, but only to those that he want to be nice to. If my curse really worked, he should be treating me coldly and is just using me..right?

Although Lyn thinks that Devon is merely talking to her to get some information about something that he wants, she still agreed but she requested for a favour so that no matter how hurt she felt, there's a consolation prize for herself.

"yes...Can you do me a favor too after I've helped you?" She boldly asked, unsure if he would agree since she did not tell him what she wants.

"sure.."

To her surprise, he agreed instantly.

As he was about too ask his question, he hesitated. He had a 'I want to know but don't know how to ask' kind of face as he muttered to himself on how to ask the question properly.

When Lyn saw his face, she was scared. Scared that he'd found out that he lost his memory due to her, scared that he'd blame her for stealing his first kiss, scared that he'd be angry at her for forcing him to like Greggy's hair..

At that moment, she let her imagination run wild and she was scared for the most ridiculous reasons.

Ahh he found out about it already!

I'm dead I'm dead I'm dead I'm dead I'm dead I'm dead I'm dead I'm dead

Oh no..will he blame me?

Will he be angry at me?

Will he..hate me?

Will he-

"Uhh before I ask, let me give you a scenario: you are lonely all the time till one day, you found a friend. You and your friend do things like eating together, play games and what not.

So.. what I wanna ask is this; What do you think about the things y'all share in one word?"

Luckily, Devon asked his question before Lyn drives herself crazy with ridiculous thoughts.

!! He's just asking for my opinion on a situation...?

He didn't find out about it..?

Ohhh

He didn't find out! He didn't find out! He didn't find out! He didn't find out! He didn't find out!

As Lyn was gloating inside herself, Devon further explained about his question in case it sounds weird to Lyn

"Uhh I need a woman's opinion for I'm intending to use this as an inspiration to do a...project"

Lyn: Sure sure! Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!

Luckily she did not say it out, for she'd be labelled as a lunatic by Devon again.

Since Lyn over-thought while Devon was asking the question, she needed more time to recall what he was saying just now.

Something about no friends..only one friend to do stuff together..such moments to someone with only one friend, they'd think its one of a kind...wait isn't that 4 words?! Ah let's see what word is similar to one of a kind..unique, special, wonderful(?), different..isn't this 4 words too? Ah forget it more is better than less

"Oh..err.. I think the things that we share are one of a ki- oh wait that's 4 words! Uhh unique, special, wonderful, different? " As Lyn thought about it, she unconsciously say out loud what she was thinking.

After answering, Devon immediately jot down her answers, while saying out aloud

"unique / special / wonderful / different.. okay thanks! Now how do you want me to help?"

"Now how do you want me to help?"

"Help? what help? I don't n-"

Oh!

Lyn would have already forgotten about her favour request until Devon reminded her.

Hmm, a favor..

"Please help me..I need to change my seat" After a long while, Lyn finally chose this as her favor.

"Change your seat? why?" Devon questioned

"I.." Lynn did not expect Devon to ask her for a reason, nor does she knows how to explain to him.

"Okay. I'll ask you another question. If you answer is 'yes' to this question, I'll help you."

"Really? thanks!" Lyn was relieved that she did not have to come up with a lie to convince him

"Do you dislike- no, do you hate sitting with me that's why you wanna change your seats?" Devon emphasised on the word 'hate' more slowly and loudly than the rest of the words.

"NO!" Lyn retorted instinctively

How can I possibly say yes to this?!

"Then why?"

Because I liked you too much that I'm scared we'd grow closer again and you'd be cursed by my curse again, end up forgetting about me again, hurting myself again.

Because I'm afraid of getting hurt again and again

Because of my damn curse, I'd rather forget about you and heal my wounds than fall deeper with you and hurt myself more.

All these reasons..I really want you to know but how would you know?

How would you understand the feeling of being looked at as if you're my whole world one day, then being looked at as if you didn't exist after that day if you hadn't been through what I've did? So Devon, please help me change my seats. Even if you don't do it for us, don't do it for me, at least do it for yourself. You're popular with people. You could find a funnier partner or whatever that matches your type instead of being bored to tears with me.

Those unsaid words are left unsaid, unheard and unknown to Devon. However, the sadness in Lyn's eyes made Devon agree although he don't know why he'd care about the sadness in her eyes. Usually, he's nonchalant and cold, uncaring towards anyone but himself and Ken (if he's considered someone). Although it seems that he likes Lyn, the current him had no feelings for her. Yet, his heart still felt some feelings of sadness? Helplessness? Pity? He don't know. It'd been a long time since he felt such feelings for someone.
