I had a total deja vu moment in Psychology with my teacher saying exactly something that was said in a dream I had not too recently in the same setting.

"I— " Keina was flustered upon hearing that she might get punished, but then Shion told her that he was joking. "Ugh, Shion, you’re so mean!" She hit his upper arm. "Of course I couldn’t tell. I’m new here, so I’m not used to the rules."

Keina bit her lower lip. Her heart was still rapidly pounding. “And there’s one more thing I’m not used to yet..” She reached forward for Shion’s sleeve. “Sorry, I was really nervous earlier. But, um.. I don’t mind being close to you. There is one thing that’s bothering me, though.. Will it be alright, like this? I mean, you and me..” She struggled to find the words to express what she meant. She didn’t really want to say it, because she was afraid of what Shion might say in return. But she had to. She shook her head lightly. “If you get in trouble with the other knights and I’m somehow become an inconvenience to you, I’ll understand if we can’t be together.”

Shion laughed when he saw the expression on her face. “Of course, I’m kidding. Can’t you tell?” he grinned.

"One more thing?" Shion looked at waited her to continue her words. He was surprised when he heard that she was worrying. Then he poked her forehead and smiled, "Silly. Don't worry too much... I agree that it's kind of a pain... but I still chose it, right?... So don't let those things bother you. Okay?"

When their eyes met, Shion dropped a quick kiss on her lips."There. That's the assurance." he smiled.

It wasn’t easy for Keina to register any of what Shion had said, much less following his instructions, with his breath constantly swiping down her nape. Her body felt rigid with nervousness, yet her knees felt so weak they might give way any moment. She wouldn’t really mind— that way she would fall into Shion’s arms and she could just stay there forever.

She cleared her throat. “Actually, Shion, I can’t relax because you’re so..” she turned to face him and the last word she was going to say got stuck in her throat. Shion’s eyes were right in front of hers. They were brilliantly golden, very unlike her dull light blue ones. “…close.” The word came out barely above a whisper.

Keina blinked, and felt her face flushed as she turned away. She lowered her hands. “I could use a break,” she said, feeling short of breath, though mostly not because of her training. “Sorry I used this room without permission. What are you doing here, Shion?”

"What?" Shion asked, not noticing that he was too close for comfort. But she stopped in mid-sentence and waited for her reply as he looked her into her eyes. Her answer was barely inaudible but he understood.

"Uh, So-sorry!" his cheeks turned bright red and immediately pulled away from her. He didn't mean to create an awkward situation between them but that's what happened. Keina broke the silence by asking what he was doing here.

Keina woke up at midnight. She felt thirsty, so she got off the bed to get some water from the table in the corner of the room. Just then she realised that there was a sleeping figure on the couch.

"Shion?" She was surprised. "Why didn’t you go back to your room.." she mumbled to herself. She dragged the blanket from her bed and covered Shion with it so that he wouldn’t catch a cold. She knelt next the sofa. Shion looked so peaceful and defenseless sleeping. Unable to resist, she raised her hand and ran it through his messy fringe. under the dim candlelight, his sleeping features and hair are so soft, like a baby’s.

She laid her head on Shion’s chest. “You’re so cute, Shion,” she whispered quietly, and smiled to herself. Great; now she didn’t feel like going back to her own bed.

Shion was sleeping on the couch. Then he felt a blanket was draped over him. His lips curled into a smile a bit, as he knew it was Keina who did it. But he didn't open his eyes so he could go back to sleep soon. 

He thought she would go back to bed, but that didn't happen. He felt her hand moved his bangs away. When he opened his eyes, he saw Keina leaning on his chest.
