Chapter 88: Demise (2)

Alistair decided to hold a party just for the Ice Faction, it will happened tonight at the dorm, with every Ice ability holder needs to attend.

David agreed to the plan, but also worried how Alistair decided to throw one.

He was never the type of person to party at all and instead sleep than to attend one.

He frowned, he remembered how Alistair find out about Khairro being Red but he wasn't after Luther explained all the things and Alistair saw what happened, the teachers knew what Khairro and Alistair relationship is and was quiet sad how Alistair was broken after knowing that Khairro disappeared just to become one of the spy leaving Alistair alone and helpless thinking that Khairro is doing his so called personal business.

Love is really unpredictable, David only hope for the couple to talk about this and end all the misunderstanding.

Caspian is excited knowing that he can again hang out with the Ice Faction because he was busy, He miss his friend;Erald who he didn't saw for a very long time.

He grew taller than he thought, maybe at the same height with Arthur but Arthur is still handsome more than Erald.

Hehe.

Rue talked to the Headmaster about the party and nodded in approval, they need that because they won of course, beating the so arrogant students of the Fire Faction.

Which Caspian already expected.

"What are you thinking about?"

Someone brushed his close eyes, he opened it and saw Arthur staring down to him.His locks falling down with his gold eyes glowing with warmth.

Caspian is actually resting on Arthur's lap, with only the two of them at the exact same location of their favorite tree.

"The upcoming Festival..."

He again close his eyes, the light burned his eyes and decided to just keep it close first.

The Festival was approved by the higher ups, even the citizens are excited about the upcoming Festival and that's why some of the teachers are already preparing the stalls and the mini concerts that they are holding.

"I forgot about the Festival hehe, so that means that the academy is being open?"

Arthur had the urge to comb his hand through that soft locks of Caspian, which he did.

The feeling of someone brushing his hair makes his tensed shoulder relaxed, he let out a breath as the fingers soothe his mind.

"Yep, that means Samael possibly attack the Elysian, I mean what the hell are they thinking and decided to open up the school?They are putting the citizens lives here."

Caspian held back his eyes from rolling, are they freaking dumb to open it?!

Hope that his family won't attend the Festival, he don't want his family to be hurt by this Samael person. Especially Rośe, who only got cured from the Symbiotic thingy which he forgot the name of it, it's not that even important.

"I think the Headmaster have a plan, to catch the demon king at all possible."

Arthur set his eyes below him, his eyes watching everytime Caspian chest breath in and out, the long eyelashes that covers his deep violet eyes that gleamers under the sun light, how his cheeks flushed with red and the most noticeable is the lips, with natural red tint of his.

He remembered how soft it was, he kissed Azazel alot back then and forgot how soft it was because they got seperated of course, now he can feel it against his lips.

But, Caspian always slap him after he kissed him.It hurts, but it was worth it anyway.

Arthur suddenly giggled, Caspian noticed it and got weirded out by Arthur.Did he thought something funny at those moments?

"Yah, why are you laughing?Did you find my face funny?Ah?!" Caspian face flushed red from anger.

How dare he laughed at his face?His face look very angelic, well that's what everyone say and he also agreed.

"No, it's not that.I have been wondering why you always keep slapping me after I kiss you, you don't like my kisses?" The end of the sentence made Arthur pout, his eyes giving puppy eyes to Caspian, who stared at it disgustingly.

Caspian got shivered at Arthur's face, it is indeed cute but it's making him cringy.

No offense darling, but that's what he view of Arthur's puppy eyes.

"It's just..." Caspian eyes drift off from him.

"Am I a bad kisser?Or did you only forgot how my kiss taste,"

"Oh, he—"

Caspian was cut off when Arthur's lips met his, Arthut eyes closes but Caspian didn't, his eyes widen at the sudden move from Arthur but heck yeah, he indeed like it.

It was only a few seconds but it feels great, Arthur face went deep shade as he realize at what he did.

"Yah, you are easily flustered ha?You look more red than me!" Caspian laughed, catching the face of the older male.

He is absolutely right, he easily get flustered from a kiss, and even compliment that Caspian gave him.It's such a shame that he can't take a picture of it, but he knows that he will forever see this.

"I c-can't help it okay?!I just l-like you alot!"

Arthur covered his face with both of his hand, hiding his strawberry face away from Caspian.

"I know, not stop always covering your face.I can't see it,"

"N-no!"

Caspian sighed, ge lifted himself up and gently removed Arthur's hand, giving him a wink before kissing his forehead.

Arthur face suddenly turned blank.

"ACKKKK!"

"What the hell Arthur?!You okay?!"

Arthur was sent to the clinic by Caspian himself because of the bleeding forehead, he decided to bang his head at the tree resulting him having a wound on his forehead.

Again, by the same person who sent Stein at the clinic because of a broken nose.

He should stop doing it, he might even kill someone because of it.

-----

The Headmaster assigned Alistair to finished her paperworks because she need to go at the Empire, to visit the fake Red with Nesrin.

Alistair only nodded earlier, and now he is sitting at the Headmaster Chair, with a black framed glasses while reading some paperworks.

Being a headmaster is really hard, seeing the mountain of files just to read it and check it.Thank god that he didn't went to this path that only sit in chairs for hours and just read and read until your eyes blur because of how exhausted you are.

The glasses help for the eyesight to see better with how small letters there is on the papers.

But, he can't focus no matter what he do.

His mind keep spinning around and trying to comprehend what happened few days ago, it's been 6 days since he and Khairro didn't utter a single words from each other and avoided the others when passing at the halls.

He can't really take what he just heard at the tournament, no at the office where the Headmaster is staying at.

He was about to hand the papers from Ariuk since the Headmaster need to signed it but before he can opened the door.

He heard Luther saying that he sent Khairro at the Demon Castle to spy on Samael, and even thought that he was Red all along.

He was not mad at that, but he was mad like Khairro didn't even bid goodbye to him or explained the situation!

Just thinking about it sounds ridiculous, like he did really sound a worried wife there but of course, the two aren't dating at all.

He sighed, sweeping his hair up with his hand.Some sweats appeared on his forehead despite being an Ice ability holder that makes him immune from heat because of the cold mana surging inside his body.

He only accepted this because he need to get rid of that problem because he can't sleep at all.That's why he decided to throw a party at the Ice Faction not only to distract himself but to also celebrate their wins at the Glacial Expanse.

They have been working hard very well with Caspian cheering at the side, he didn't attend the Glacial Expanse because of the mission the Headmaster gave to him, which is kinda bummer cor the whole team but their spirits was hold high by Gwen who's Caspian bestfriend is and said that Caspian will be proud of them if they won at the tournament and they did accomplished it.

He giggled at the thought that some of them may cry because the Semester is ending because of the possible war that might happened and don't want the students to even more be in danger.

Suddenly, the door opened but he was not expecting Khairro out of all people who look absolutely a mess.

His usual neat hair is a mess, can you even call it hair since it looks like a bird nest.His healthy pale color is much more paler than a vampire itself, his eyes color is not that glowing anymore.

Alistair sighed, "What the hell happen to you?"

Khairro lifted his gaze, "Shit happens..."

His form slump, the books he carried drag him down even forward.It's such a scary werid feeling that the usual cocky Khairro is gone, and was replace by a depressed bat.

Alistair could only sighed, he stood up and went to grab the male pale's hand and let the books drop on the ground, he sat the male down by the couch who hold a puzzled look while looking at him.

"You need to take care of yourself, you'll get sick." Alistair went to the desk and grab his water and a sandwich which he prepared earlier before he went to the office and giving it to the male.

Khairro lips were parted as he watched the male casually take cares of him, his brow creases as he only gaze at the male who's helping him with the messy look.

"Aren't you suppose to be mad at me?"

Khairro muttered, looking down at the water and the sandwich that was given to him because of the state he is in.

Alistair brushed the male's hair with his hand, he don't carry comb like everytime.

"I am mad, but I can't leave you in this state."

Because Khairro head is gaze at the floor, he didn't notice the male expression.

He held back the smile forming on his lips, he did smile but his eyes aren't that happy.

He knows that Alistair is still mad but his heart thump faster after knowing that Alistair still cares for him.

There's still a tiny hope that is holding.

"I'm sorry...."

Khairro finally managed to say it, he lifted his head up but was soon met by a crying male.
