Friends?

𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫'𝐬 𝐏𝐎𝐕:

Eeve and Derik walked out of the classroom to their next lecture. "Belle-" Derik couldn't even complete his sentence as Eeve's mobile started to ring. Derik cussed under his breath while Eeve gave him an apologetic look. It was her mom.

"Hey mamma, how are you?" Eeve asked as she unloaded her books in her locker and surprisingly Derik's locker was right beside her. Eeve found it strange 'cause they had everything in common. She shrugged her thoughts and continued to talk to her mom. "Hi honey. How's college?" Mrs. Peeters asked her. "It's good mamma. I may have found a new friend!" Eeve said as she glanced at derik who gave her a warm smile. "Ooo~ is it a boy!?" Eeve's mom asked and chuckled. Eeve could imagine her mom wiggling her eyebrows. "Mom~" Eeve whined.

"Okay, where's dad?" Eeve asked trying to change the topic and her mom laughed and said, "Oh- he's sleeping in your bed cuddled up against one of your giant teddy bears. He is missing you honey." Eeve's eyes widened when she felt derik grabbed her hand gently and started to drag her. He mouthed a small 'cafeteria' and Eeve gave a nod before going back to the call letting him drag her. "Awe I miss him too mamma. I'll call you when I get back home. Bye, love you" They bid their good byes as derik and Eeve reached the cafe.

"I am sorry about that. My parents...they just miss me and I miss them too." Eeve apologized again and sat on a chair in front of derik. "It's fine Belle. I didn't mind at all!" he lied~ Of course he was fuming with anger inside but he wouldn't show that side of his to her. Derik didnt want to lose her, 'again'. So he just acted cool.

"Sit here, Belle. I'll get you coffee." Derik didn't even let her talk as he stormed towards the coffee maker. Eeve felt really weird. But a good weird though. It felt like she couldn't refuse derik and she felt a strong pull towards him. She didn't even wanted to know the reasons. She liked being with him.

Eeve was pulled out of her thoughts when an annoyed derik slamed both the coffee cups on the table. "What the fuck are you doing here!?" Eeve flinched at his tone and looked up at whom derik was talking. And there stood two boys standing hand in hand with bright smiles on their faces. "Chill brother. We go to the same college as you do!" one of them chirped in. He was masculine with Raven hair and pale skin. He was damn handsome but nothing compared to derik. And the guy was cute and sexy. He had feminine curves with a beautiful face and silver hair just like her!!!. And wait, brother!? Derik said he was the only child right!?

The cute guy turned towards Eeve and smiled like a ray of sunshine and extended his hand for her to shake it. "Hello... I am Izan. And this my boyfriend Ethan. He's Derik's cousin brother!" He said while pointing at the muscular guy who's name is Ethan. Eeve smiled at him and shook her hand with his. "Hello Izan, I am Eeve. Nice to meet you!!" "Ow ow- wait! Hello you're highness!! I am Ethan!! It's pleasure meeting you!" Eeve widened her eyes and looked at derik who was standing rooted to his position with a blank expression. When he felt Eeve's gaze on him he looked at her and smiled sheepishly. "Ah- don't worry Belle. My cousin and his boyfriend are kinda weird. But unfortunately, they are so sweet so I must cope with them" Derik said with a dramatic sigh and looked down at his feet. Eeve giggled at their weirdness and smiled at Ethan.

"Since you're our little derik's friend, you're our BEST FRIEND!!!" Izan clapped his hands excitedly and attacked Eeve with a bone crushing hug!! She was taken a back a bit but hugged him back with a giggle. "Baby, you're crushing her. We don't wanna kill our new 'best friend', right!? " Ethan pulled Izan away from Eeve and pecked his pouty plump lips. Izan giggled at the little gesture and mumbled a small sorry to Eeve. Eeve being the pure soul on the whole planet, smiled at him sweetly. She found the couple adorable and cute.

Derik on the other hand was admiring his queen. How her long lashes brushed her cheeks everytime she blinked her eyes, how her silver hair fell so effortlessly on her neck and back, how her eyes turned into crescent moon shape whenever she laughed at the couple's jokes. Derik came out of his thoughts when one of his Dwergies mind linked him.

"Sire~ Hellen found out about queen. The witch is planning something on Queen's Birthday. We just have a couple of months Sire." As soon as dwergi informed about the witch's plan, Derik growled through the mind link scaring the dwergi. "Keep an eye on that witch and make the security tight around the Queen's apartment!!" Derik said and shut off the mind link.

Derik took a long breath and looked at Eeve and smiled at her. "Belle, I guess we should head back to the class." Eeve's smile dropped at that and she looked at Izan with puppy eyes. With in a short span she felt like he was her soul best friend!! She already liked him to the core!! "Awe... I don't wanna go~ Here! take my number and call me!!" They exchanged their numbers and hugged each other before bidding their good byes!

"Oh- so now you give your number to my cousin's boyfriend but not me!? How rude of you, Eeve Peeters!!" Derik gasped dramatically and slapped a hand on his mouth to add effects to his amazing acting. "Oops sorry, bun. Here this is my number and call me whenever you want. Now stop with the acting you drama queen!" Eeve laughed so hard and give him her number. "Bun...!?" Derik whispered softly but Eeve clearly heard it.

"Ah- I am sorry. I shouldn't have cal- " "No no no I love it, Belle. Please don't be sorry. " Derik didn't let her apologize and pleaded with glossy eyes. Yes!! he eyes became glossy after hearing that cute nickname. That reminded of him of the precious days he lived with 'her'.

"Now come on!! Let's go. We're gonna be late!" Derik again dragged her to their class and this time Eeve was laughing. The rest of the day went by both of them going to the classes and getting to know each other more. They left the college campus after their last lecture. Izan and Ethan both left earlier 'cause they didn't feel like staying in the college, so why not!?

"We'll meet tomorrow, Belle." Derik said as he stood beside Eeve's car. "Yup, bun. Have a good night!" Eeve said and hugged derik for a moment or two. But it felt like eternity to Derik, 'cause how he was longing for this touch! Once they pulled away Eeve stepped in her car and drove away. Derik on the other hand stood their with glossy eyes and a stupidly loving smile on his face. He stayed their for a while and teleported to his apartment 'cause he didn't wanted to drive. And he summoned his car in the parking lot of the building.
