First topic message reminder :

For a change, this summer break, Shuyin wandered off somewhere inside the academy. He was wearing light clothes, his bed hair since he just woke up a few hours ago. To start the day, he grabbed the book he borrowed last time he was in the library with Eve, a beautiful lady from his dorm. He smiled as he remembered the tour that day. He was grateful for her help at that time.

He went straight to the library today, since he wanted some peaceful time to start reading "Romeo and Juliet" he whispered as he laid his back comfortably on his chair on a spot he found where he was completely alone. He started flipping the pages and kept on reading and reading. He couldn't stop from any moment since each scene has become more interesting for him until he finally reached upto the last few pages.

Eve saw him pull himself back after she asked her question again.
Did she sound harsh?She bit her lip ready to tell him that she was sorry,when he took her hand and brought it close to his mouth.He bowed a little and looked back into her eyes again,before replying."For I think I may have already found her",and then,he kissed the back of her palm.
"Oh..that is...nice...Might if I ask who she is?",she asked.She was determined to found out who the girl was and have a little talk with her.

Shuyin bursted out in laughter when he heard Eve's response. Did he not make it so obvious that he was in fact, referring to the girl standing before him? Suddenly, the librarian shushed him from wherever she was.

He covered his mouth with his other hand in hope to minimize the noise he was making. Soon he stopped laughing. While his other hand was still holding Eve's hand, he again leaned closer to her, only that this time he went towards near her ear. The hand that was covering his mouth brushed her hair away gently and whispered "Was referring to you"

As Shuyin burst out laughing,Eve looked at him quizzically.Why was he laughing?
Did she say something funny without understanding?
Soon after,the Librarian shushed him from wherever she was,making him clasp a hand over his mouth to keep himself,but that didn't hep either.

After some time of more laughter,Shuyin quited down and looked at her.He was still holding her hand when he leaned in closer to her,towards her ear this time.
"Was referring to you",she whispered into her ear,making her eyes widen.
She clasped a hand over her mouth to keep from yelping loudly at what she had just heard.

She pulled back and looked at him,trying to see if he was serious,or if he was just making fun of her.
She grabbed his arm,and started pulling him through the bookcases,looking around to see if anyone was watching.
She pushed him towards the back of the Library,where no one went.Not even the Librarian.
"What did you just say?",she whispered-yelled to him.

Shuyin smirked when Evelyn pulled herself back away from him. The smile on his face vanished immediately when Evelyn grabbed his arm and did not resisted when he was being pulled somewhere. He just went along as Eve pulled him around.

"What did you just say?" she asked him. He scratched the back of his head, now with a light red blush across his cheeks. "When I first laid my eyes on you.. That day I stepped inside the Great Hall.. Since then.. I couldn't stop thinking about you" he said his voice shaking a little.

After what he said, he now couldn't look at Evelyn. He rested the back of his hand over his lips and looked away, trying to hide the blush on his face. "Heck. I should've asked if you're seeing someone else first. But nah, wouldn't care". If by any chance, Evelyn was seeing someone else then Shuyin just had to win her heart right?

Eve couldn't believe what she was hearing.He...he liked her?Like,more than a friend?
She looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
"Are you sure it's me?Have you completed the bond from your part?",she asked.
There were some steps when a Dragon was mating.
First,when he/she found their mate,the had a feeling.They were always thinking of them and everything that involved them.
Second,each of them made a bond,meaning that they were bound with this person forever.Both mates had to do that.
As for the third step....as much as Eve wanted to not think about it...when they were older,they had to do it if they wanted to finish the bond.
They had to make love to each other.
And these were times when Eve hated to be a Dragon.

He stopped for a while. He tried to search his head if he had, by any chance, completed his ritual. He turned to Evelyn and smiled weakly "I'm afraid not yet?"

Eve let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.She felt quite relieved but sad at the same time too.
"Well..that's good...we still don't know if I really am your mate."
She would repeat the same thing over and over again.Even if they told her it was true,she still wouldn't believe them.
"And there's our age difference...What if I am your mate?What are we going to do?"
So many obstacles..but could they overcome them?

So many questions, barging in his mind all of a sudden. He was really not the type that would care about those. All he knew was that he's feeling something for Evelyn, love? He was also not sure about it. But yes, he likes her, a lot.

"It felt like being the characters in the book" he mumbled to himself.

Eve laughed at Shuyin's words,then smiled slightly.
"Do I really look like princess Juliet?Really?",she asked then snorted.Of course she didn't but the whole situation felt like it was taken from a book.
"What will we do now?What does this mean?"

Shuyin placed his hand on his chest, looking at her eyes, he said "For I am your knight, let me just protect you Princess".

Eve smiled and walked closer to Shuyin.She then hugged him tightly,without hesitation.
"Whatever you say my knight..",she said giggling.
She would never understand how this had happened,though she didn't care either.

He was being hugged by Eve. It felt warm, he wrapped his arms around her and locked her in them. He can smell the fragrance coming out from her hair. Shuyin kissed Eve's head.

He then had a question in mind that he wanted to ask. Shuyin cleared his throat, still locking Eve in his arms. "Shall we make this official?" he said, a light red blush ran across his face. But he was safe since she couldn't see him blushing he thought.

Eve smirked though he couldn't see her.She would tease him a little before answering his question.
Of course she wanted to say yes,but why not put him through a small torment first?
"Are you asking me to be your love buddy?"
She didn't use the term 'girlfriend',trying to make this not so formal.

"Love buddy?" he replied, his voice tainted with confusion. He gave it a thought though. Then searched his mind. "Why can't it register in his head" he thought. "Why love buddy?" he asked her as he couldn't get the answer anywhere in his head. Not that he was against the idea, it was just that it was the first time Shuyin heard such thing.

Eve laughed and shook her head.Instead of easing the tension,she had confused Shuyin furthermore.
She leaned her back against the bookcase and shrugged.
"With the word 'love buddy',I meant girlfriend.Are you asking me to be your girlfriend?",she asked again.

"Girlfriend" he repeated in mind as Eve managed escaped his arms. Shuyin looked away trying to keep his blushed cheeks from the girl he said "Only if you want to"
