Chapter 121: Even A Sliver Of Opportunity

"As I was saying... We've been here a little longer than expected. I'm sure you miss your home. I've never seen you out of it for too long." Aries chuckles while pinching my cheek playfully as I flailed my hand at him to get him to stop.

"Stop teasing me! You also often hang out at my place although you have your own. Were you just coming over for other reasons or something?" I decided to poke fun at him, grinning away as I waited to see him worm his way out of that one.

"Well, duh."

Well... that didn't go as intended.

"Er... Er hem... Don't you have other friends? You were hanging out with me so often I would think you were unpopular despite your appearance." I turned away as I tried to use a different sentence to tease him since the other went a little sideways and even caught me off guard.
