Confession

I gulped.

I've been caught.

This girl, I don't know her name, but she found me. I could see her glowing crimson eyes through the mist.

"Serena, did you find anything?"

This girl, Serena, glanced at them for a second, then she looked back at me. She gave me a smirk.

"No, nothing at all."

She said with a soft voice. Then she drifted away and sat with the others.

Did she do that on purpose? Even though I'm a boy and it's the girl's bath time, she's just going to leave me here?

I'm kind of glad she did and kind of mad she didn't. I still can't feel my legs.

Guess I still have to wait.

***

After a few minutes, I could hear Yuki, Genesis, and Hana leaving.

"Artemis, aren't you going to get out?"

"I think I'll stay here for a bit longer."

"Ok then. Don't stay for too long or you might pass out."

I've been here for almost 2 hours and I still haven't passed out. But I think I might soon.

Then when Yuki, Genesis, and Hana left, Serena slowly crept up towards me.

Serena stood in front of me. Now that the mist was gone, I could see everything. She has such a sexy, attractive figure, such proportions, I think I'm staring a little too much. I might have gotten a nosebleed by looking at her.

"C-can you put on a towel?"

"Funny, I was going to say the same thing."

She said as she looked down at my crotch. I quickly grabbed my towel and covered that area.

"You know, you're pretty big down there."

"C-could you cover yourself now? I can see everything."

From head to toe. Everything...

"Fufu, is my beauty too much for you? Well, it can't be helped."

She grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her body. She then tied her long silver hair in a twin tail and got out.

"Wait!"

"Hmm, yes?"

"Can you uhh help me out? I can't really move."

"Hmm, I don't think I should?"

"Why?"

C'mon please, I have to get out; I don't think I can feel my legs anymore. Am I going to be disabled?

"I'll only do it if you do something for me."

"Something for you?"

"Well, don't think that you could get out easy just because you have good looks. I protected you too, so you owe me."

Damn, that's true.

"What do I have to do?"

"You have to be my boyfriend."

"...What?"

"You heard me, you are going to be my boyfriend."

Did I hear that correctly? She wants me to be her... boyfriend?

"M-may I ask why?"

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

"What?"

"Or do you want me to tell everyone that you were peeking at the girls?"

She's blackmailing me now? What the hell? Is my only choice to become her boyfriend? But wait...

"But Yuki's my girlfriend though."

"It's alright, after all, polygamy is allowed."

What the hell?

"But umm..."

"But what? You want me to tell everyone that you were peeking on the girls?"

Shit, she's using that again.

"Isn't there another choice?"

"Another choice? Hmm, I guess there is another choice."

"And what would that be?"

Serena thought about it for a second.

"Hmm, let me think."

She walked out of the bath and started pacing around slowly.

Good, now that her back is turned on me, I can get out. I'll just crawl out of here.

As I got onto land, I crawled for the changing room.

Almost there.

Then, just when my hand touches the changing room door, Serena stood in my way.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Umm uhh..."

"We're not done talking, you know."

"I just wanted to get out of the water."

My legs are recovering their strength, but I'm still so weak right now. If only I could just run away.

"Ahh, I know what you could do for me."

"What is it?"

Serena smiled and crouched down. Then she held my chin and lifted my face, meeting hers. The next thing she did was give me a French Kiss.

"Hmm?!"

Her tongue movement. They were like Yuki's but less intense.

"You should be thankful. After all, you took my first kiss."

"W-w-w-what?"

"Next time, you can take my virginity."

She messed with my hair before pulling it back. Then she entered the changing room.

"You look better with your hair up. I'll let you off easy. Hope we meet again."

She said before she left.

I sighed and got up. The feeling in my legs had returned so I can walk again.

But what the hell was that?

A few minutes later...

I had returned to my dorm room. Shin came up to be all worried and stuff and Brock asked me if I saw and flat chested girls, which I did not.

Vlad was in his room sleeping. Well, it is pretty late so I should get some rest too. I also have to replenish all the mana and stamina that I've lost.

I flopped onto the bed.

"Well then, time to sleep."

...

...

...

Creak~

...

...

...

Rustle.

...

...

...

Why does it feel cold?

I slowly opened my eyes and looked around the room.

Nothing, absolutely nothing.

"Huh, must've been me."

I laid back down on my bed, then as I turned over, I was facing Yuki who was in her pajamas.

...

"What the?!"

I fell off my bed as I backed away from the bed.

"Huh? What's wrong, darling?"

She said as she rubbed her eyes.

"What's wrong? Why are you here?"

I whispered loudly. How the hell did this girl even get in here?

"Me, I just wanted to sleep with you, darling."

"That doesn't mean you sleep in my room!"

A tear went down her cheek.

"D-do you not want me here?"

Sniff.

Oh no, she's crying. Not only that, but she's looking at me with puppy eyes now.

Must...resist... all you have to say is return to your own room. That's all Lucian, just say that and she'll go away.

"I guess you can stay here."

That's the opposite of what I'm trying to say, Lucian!

"Yay!"

She dove towards me with open arms and hugged me.

"I love you."

"Y-yeah..."

As we got back in the bed. She was clutching onto me, assuring that I wouldn't escape.

"H-hey Yuki."

"Yes?"

"Why do you like me?"

I asked that because I didn't really trust her, does she really trust me, I don't really know.

As I turned over to look at Yuki's face, she was all red and fidgeting.

"It's because...

"Yes?"

"I feel warm around you. You make me feel comfortable."

"..."

I took my blanket and covered my face.

"Lucian?"

Shit, how do I respond to that? I can feel myself blushing. She feels warm around me? I make her comfortable? Damn it, she was so cute when she said that...

This feeling in my heart, it's too much.

"L-Lucian."

I turned around and Yuki was on top of me. She was looking at me with shy looking eyes.

"I-I-I want to do it."

Do it? Do it?!

My heart was pounding. What did she just say? Sh-she wants to do it?

"W-wait a minute, we've only met two weeks ago."

"That doesn't matter!"

"Doesn't matter?! We don't even know each other that well. A-and what would your mother think?"

"Don't you remember? My mother allowed us to date. She told me that I should get to know my future husband before we actually get married."

"Future husband?!"

"W-we're getting engaged soon. I can't wait!!!"

"B-but I haven't been told about this. Also, just because your mother approved of it doesn't mean my parents will either."

"Actually, they already approved. I already met with them and we have their blessings."

Mom, Dad, are you two joking?

I can already hear them calling to me.

Take care, you two. Bring me back a grandchild while you're at it.

Those two always wanted me to get married, they even tried pairing me up with some girl I never even knew. This was a perfect opportunity for them, and they just couldn't help accepting.

But she is cute, and I don't sense any ulterior motives coming from her. Don't ask how I know that, let's just say it's a man's intuition.

"I see."

"Lucian."

"Yes?"

"Do you not like me?"

I hesitated for a moment. Her pale blue eyes were so beautiful and her delicate honeyed lips. Her shy expression. I can hardly tell that she was the same girl that I met two weeks ago at the entrance exam. It's like she's completely someone new.

I remember how she looked like at the wedding. She looked so sad and depressed. I heard from Fenrir that she locked herself inside her room without eating anything for 5 days straight. This was the exact same thing that she did when she lost her younger sister according to Fenrir.

I guess I should try to make her happy. Damn it, ever since I met her, I've had feelings as well. But I just didn't know how to express them.

There is only one way to test her if she really does have feelings for me. This will also be my first, and maybe my last.

Damn it.

I grabbed Yuki by the arms.

"Eh?!"

"Yuki, I LOVE YOU!!!"

...

How loud did I say that?

Sniff.

I looked down, and tears were overflowing from her eyes. She smiled and nodded.

"I love you too."

Well, I confessed. This was my first time confessing to a girl, and I'm glad I didn't get rejected.

Clang!

"Lucian! What's wrong, why did you suddenly yell in the middle of the n-?"

Shin stood there at the door with his jaw open. Then he slowly closed the door.

"Sorry to interrupt you guys."

"You got the wrong idea..."

Click.

I could hear whispers from outside of my room. Is he telling the others?

"Y-Yuki, can you return to your dorm, please?"

"Anything you say, darling."

She caressed my face and gave me a passionate kiss. Then she walked towards the window and as I looked outside of her window, she had somehow made a path from her window to mine.

"...uh..."

"Well then, see you tomorrow, darling."

Then she went back to her room.

I smiled and closed my window. Then I returned to my bed and lied down. Now that that was out of the way, how am I going to talk to those guys tomorrow?
