**Chapter 21: Undeniable Love

Astraylius smiled softly as he saw Imana sleeping in the doorway of his dorm room. He knew that she had been waiting for him all night, and it warmed his heart to know that she cared so much about him.

As they went out for lunch together, Astraylius couldn't help but notice how beautiful Imana looked in her Academy uniform. He felt a pang of guilt at the thought of what he had done with Luminaria, but he also knew that he couldn't deny his feelings for Imana any longer.

Throughout the day, Astraylius found himself drawn to Imana more and more - their shared lectures making them even closer than before.

As the day wore on, Astraylius found himself growing more and more attracted to Imana. He couldn't help but notice how her hair would fall across her face as she leaned over to take notes, or how her lips would part slightly when she was deep in thought.

By the time they returned to their dorm room that evening, Astraylius knew that he had to make a decision - one that could change everything between him and Imana forever.

Astraylius sat down on his bed, staring at Imana as she thinking for the dinner. He could feel his heart racing in his chest, knowing what he needed to do but unsure if he had the courage.

Finally, he took a deep breath and spoke up. "Imana," he began softly, "there's something I need to tell you." She turned towards him with a curious expression on her face. "I... I love you."

The words hung in the air between them for what felt like an eternity before Imana finally responded with a smile that lit up her entire face. "I love you too," she whispered back as she crawled into bed beside him.

Astraylius wrapped his arms around Imana, pulling her close as they lay in bed together. He couldn't believe how lucky he was to have found someone who loved him back - someone who made him feel whole again.

As they drifted off to sleep that night, Astraylius knew that he had finally found happiness once more - and it was all thanks to Imana's unwavering love and support.

In the morning, Astraylius woke up to find Imana already dressed and ready for the day. He sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes as he took in her beautiful smile.

"Good morning," she said cheerfully. "Ready for another day at the Academy?"

Astraylius nodded, still feeling a bit groggy from their late night conversation. As they made their way through breakfast together, he couldn't help but feel grateful for everything that had happened between them - grateful that he had finally found someone who loved him unconditionally.

Throughout the day, Astraylius found himself constantly thinking about Imana - her smile, her laughter, and the way she looked at him with such love in her eyes. He knew that he had made the right decision by choosing to be with her instead of Luminaria - even though it meant giving up on his dreams of becoming an Explicit Content Writer.

As they walked back to their dorm room after classes had ended for the day, Astraylius took Imana's hand in his own. "Thank you," he said softly as they stopped outside their doorway. "For everything."

Imana turned towards him with a warm smile on her face. "You're welcome," she replied simply before leaning forward and kissing him passionately.

Astraylius returned the kiss, losing himself in the moment as he wrapped his arms around Imana's waist. They stood there for what felt like an eternity, their lips locked together in a tender embrace that spoke volumes about their love for each other.

Finally, they pulled apart with heavy breaths and smiles on their faces. "I love you," Astraylius whispered once more before leading Imana inside their dorm room where they could continue exploring the depths of their newfound passion.

As they entered their dorm room, Astraylius couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over him. He had finally found happiness with Imana - someone who loved him unconditionally and supported him through everything.

They spent the rest of the evening cuddling on the bed, talking about their dreams and aspirations for the future. As night fell, they continued to discuss about their future and made decision about no sexual intercourse until they get married after the graduation.
