The reply came fast, like he’d been anxiously waiting (sorry Works crazy may–I’m not home, sis I coulddict hand them over myself)

Nyx glanced at the neighbor’s door, not calling out his excuse.

Nyx: [Okay]

Nyx: [Next time, maybe try a different shop?]

This time, it took ages for a reply: (You don’t like them?]

Through the screen, Nyx could almost hear his heart crack. She snapped a pic of the bouquet and sent its I love them they’re gorgeous. But they might give me the wrong idea.]

Nyx: [Lancet, you’re not interested in me, are you?]

The flowers weren’t loud–soft, gentle tones–but every type screamed love, practically overflowing with it. Without saying it was just a congrats gift, anyone would think it was a confession.

Seafarion panicked: [No way. I’ve got a girlfriend.]

He clutched his phone, kicking himself. Lancet had zilch to do with it. He’d wrapped the bouquet himself. He knew he shouldn’t have, but he couldn’t help it.

After a long pause, the screen lit up again.

Nyx: [Oops, my bad! Sorry, Lancet!]

Like she was embarrassed, she switched gears: [Oh, I think I saw Seafarion at the audition today.]

Before the male could perk up, she added: [I didn’t even glance at him, but Zachary still asked what we were to each other.]

Nyx: [I swore I don’t know him!]

Nyx: [Don’t worry, Lancet! I’m sticking to the confidentiality deal!]

Nyx: [Little bunny salute emoji]

Seafarion was speechless. His mood became unstable. He knew it was his fault but couldn’t help resenting Lancet a bit.

‘Why do I have to push that stupid confidentiality deal? Without it, would Nyx treat me differently?‘ he wondered.

Too late now–he swallowed his pride and typed stiffly: [Good.]

Feeling it was too cold, he added: [Rest up–you’re still growing.]

Seeing that, Nyx nearly snorted out loud.

Nyx: [I’m an adult, Lancet.]

It was barely past nine–not bedtime yet. Wide awake, she wanted to chat with her partner more.

Nyx: [Seafarion bailed me out at the audition today. I’m grateful.]

Nyx: [To return the favor, I know a bit about leg massages. Could I help him out?]
