Arc 1 chapter 9 : From the eyes who watch the boy

  After I'm done healing Farah's and Adam's broken minds, all four of us finally went out for lunch

  Where I chose to just sit beside Dani and watch him eat

  I'm not hungry, but I did order the most expensive rice meal, just to dry Adam's wallet

  Plus I can look at Dani's cute face whenever he slurps those ramen

  But still, why ramen? If he eats those monthly, I can still tolerate it, but almost daily??

  "Huff. . . Dani, can you eat something healthy for once? "

  I looked at him softly while he was just eating the ramen.

  I know he did order that on purpose to make Adam's wallet dry, but still. . .

  He then turned his head to me after he swallowed the ramen

  ". . . I think I eat healthy enough, this ramen has vegetables " He answered me calmly

  "That's not-. . . Gosh, Dani, eat something healthy for once"

  This insufferable idiot is really a trouble.

  But I don't mind, he's my trouble after all.

  Ha, how peaceful

  This lunch moment should have been a nice, peaceful lunch with them

  Except for one person, who's now sulking while he leans his head on his fist

  "Huff. . . Just let him eat those ramen" Adam told me while mocking Dani

  "You still mad about this ramen? Thought you already moved on" Dani calmly asked him like nothing's wrong

  "I was hoping that Suraya was the one who made my wallet empty, I didn't know that you betrayed me as well"

  ". . . Dramatic as hell"

  "My wallet is almost empty Dani! You expected me to NOT be dramatic?!"

  "You say you treat everyone earlier "

  "Doesn't mean you should order something expensive! Look at Farah, she just ordered orange juice! Can you just be like her?! "

  "Honestly, it's because Farah is on a diet that she didn't eat much" I told Adam while smiling smugly

  "Haha, yeah, plus I already had brunch tho. . . I don't need lunch honestly" Farah justified my sentence

  The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

  "Huff. . . Thanks Farah, for the mercy. Or I'll be broke by now" Adam thanked her softly

  "Relax, not every day we get to eat lunch with each other. . . In your treat" I teased him softly

  Adam just sighed at me with mock surrender before laying his head on the table in a bad mood

  Farah and I just laughed at Adam's dramatic scene before I decided to focus back on Dani and asked him about the ramen

  "By the way, how's your ramen? " I looked at him softly

  ". . . I don't like the cabbage, this cabbage's color looks faded and depressed. It makes me think that I just look at myself for a second"

  "Should I make it look more refreshed with my spell? I can do that" I offered him with my Sakura smile that's just for him

  "It's fine, you don't need to do anything about i-"

  "Or should I just cast a small spell at the chef to even give cabbage that mirrors yourself?"

  "Definitely not that as well"

  "Hehe, Alright, but don't blame me if you get more depressed ok? " I teased him softly

  ". . . My life is already bad enough, this is nothing "

  His words struck my heart hard with a heavy guilt feeling

  I don't mean to make him feel more unworthy

  I shouldn't have made such joke

  How stupid of me

  "Dani, I'm so sorry, I don't mean to-"

  "It's fine"

  "No, it's not fine"

  I grabbed his left hand while staring at his eyes deeply

  "I shouldn't have made such joke at you, forgive me"

  ". . . Suraya, when I say it's fine, I mean it"

  ". . . "

  ". . . Alright, you're forgiven"

  ". . . Thank you, just know that I didn't mean to make you feel that way"

  "I know you're just joking, so I never take it hard in the first place"

  Even so, I must have made you feel such way in the slightest

  Stupid me, how dare I even joke at him like that?! His mental health is not a joke!!

  I'll make it up to you Dani, I promise

  "Just know I'll help you through anything, ok? All you need to do is ask" I offered him while still staring at his eyes softly

  ". . . Thanks Suraya"

  "No, if anything, this is the least I could do for you, Dani. No need to thank me"

  In that moment, I swore that Dani almost made a tiny smile before he exhaled and made a calm expression

  Perhaps he's shy, or it's just his subconscious act

  Either way, I'm glad I could make him feel better

  "Oh, anything is it bestie~? Then if it about Frost Diamond? " Farah teases me while putting her fingers on her smug smile

  "Especially Frost Diamond, just one word from Dani, I'm ready"

  "Ready. . .? Ready for what? " Dani asked me calmly but slightly curious

  "To trap him in oblivion void" I answer calmly

  "Trap him in oblivion? Seriously?? " Adam raised his head and looked at us in disbelief

  "What, is it too much? " I asked him softly

  "Suraya, if anything. . . That's too fucking merciful! Just let me do it, I will make sure he's trapped in a time paradox" Adam gave his suggestion excitedly

  "Heh, thought you gone soft on that prick for a moment " Farah teased him

  ". . . Since when you can trap people in a time paradox? Last time I checked your speed isn't that fast to warp time" Dani asked in his usual deadpan tone

  "Easy, I'll just ask Suraya to cast spells at me to enhance my speed, you help won't you? "

  "100% percent I will, you have my support"

  "Nah, too much work guys. Just let me yeet him to the moon. I bet he couldn't survive in space longer than 5 minutes" Farah chimes in calmly

  Farah's plan actually will be great since it wouldn't require too much work, if it weren't for his brilliant mind

  "It will be great if it weren't for the fact that he had too many contingency plans. Remember last time someone tried to snipe him from afar with their magic? "

  "Oh yeah. . . That guy's head exploded from their own magic bullet. . . Tck, bastard has his armor tech with him all the time" Farah crossed her arms while pissed off at him

  ". . . Huff, just don't trouble yourself. "

  "Hmm, what do you mean by that? " Adam asked him

  "I. . . Would hate to see you guys at the hospital. I don't want to visit you guys if you injure or something"

  ". . . Can you not be a fucking tsundere for a while and just be honest with us? " Adam just looked at him as if he restrained himself from slapping his head

  "I'm not a tsundere. I just care"

  "That's obviously the same thing! " Farah shouted at him frustrated by Dani's denial

  "No, cause I say so"

  I just looked at him and laughed before I noticed his lips were dirty with ramen soup on them

  I then wiped his lips calmly while looking at him with my usual smile

  ". . . What are you doing? " Dani asks me obliviously about my act

  "You look smudged, so I'm just making sure you have a clean face"

  He looked at me for a while before wiping rice on my cheek

  Which surprised me for a while that he acted romantically on me as if this was just a casual act

  "You're the one who should look clean. People might make a meme of your dirty face"

  ". . . Thanks" I said softly with my Sakura smile

  "No problem "

  "Gosh. . . Didn't I tell you both not to make me feel more single? " Adam softly murmured to himself, probably still traumatized from my act

  But right now, I haven't heard or seen anyone. Except him

  The boy who's too ignorant about everything

  The same boy who didn't know how to express himself

  But knows how to show his care in his own subtle way

  That gesture where he cleaned my face. . .

  . . . I know he cares deeply about me

  I care about you more Dani, words alone can't summarize what I would do for you

  But. . . Love isn't all about words, right?

  "Next time, eat more veggies, ok? "

  ". . . Sure"

  I'll make sure you're fine Dani. No one will harm you as long as I can reach you.

  No one will harm my future husband.
