'This is it. I'm finally gonna tell him.'

"Um, Muu?" I said. He stopped cheering for the gladiators and turned his interest to me. "Yes, what is it (y/n)?"

My heart did a somersault. 'Stop giving me that smile! You're making me melt.'

"I... Um... I l-lo..."

"You what?" He urged for me to continue with that charming smile never leaving his face.

"I l-l-love..." Omigosh I finally said the 'L' word! Don't mess this up (y/n)!

"You love...?" Muu leaned closer to me. I felt my face heat up. And it might be because of the intense atmosphere of a supposedly confession that I made the biggest mistake I'll forever regret.

"I love pasta!"

😳
😨
😱

Muu laughed wildly. I mean who wouldn't? I myself want to laugh too and jump down this balcony right now. I'm so stupid!

"Is that so? Then I'll treat you to one after this 😊" He ruffled my hair. I lowered my head in embarrassment.

"O-okay. Thanks..."

He went back to watching and I didn't bothered him for the rest of the fight.

In my mind I was still laughing at my epic confession fail. Why did I say pasta? 'You' would be easier than that two syllable word. Ugh! I hate myself. Telling that I would confess, chickening out and humiliated for the rest of my history- worst day ever!😩

What should I do? This is too depressing...

***

"So, is the pasta delicious?" Muu asked with the usual smile on his face. I don't know why but I feel like he's teasing me.

"Y-yeah..."

"Here's the wine you ordered!" A waitress approached our table with a tray of wine balanced on her right hand. Muu flashed her a charming smile like he always does when it comes to his favorite hobby: being a gentleman.

"Thank you, beautiful lady.😊" Muu said.

Yeah, she's beautiful, I noticed. Unlike me whose face is wasted during those years of endless studying. 😔

"M-my.. T-thank y-you kind s-sir..." The waitress stuttered, a mad blush creeping on her cheeks.

Don't you dare fall for that gesture! And you! Stop charming every girl you see dense jerk!

*sigh* this love story... Is impossible.

🍀🍀🍀

"Hahaha! I can't believe you did that! You're so stupid!"

Great. Just great. I should have expected this kind of reaction from her.

I thought that maybe spilling this out to a friend might help me feel better, so I went ahead and told the story of my epic fail to Myron, Muu's sister. Seems like I made the wrong choice. Where's my regret list? I have a new item to add.

"I know. Now can you please stop laughing at me and actually help?!" I complained. Myron stopped laughing and when I thought she'd take the conversation seriously, she started laughing again.

"Fine. I'm leaving..." Frustrated, I stomped my way out of the room. Myron catched up to me and pulled me back inside, her laughter now subsiding into small chuckles.

"Okay, okay. Calm down pasta girl." She said. I frowned at her.

"Myron..." I threatened. She immediately cleared her throat and fixed her posture

"Why are you so desperate for my brother?"

Is that really necessary to ask?!

"The only woman who won't fall for him still doesn't exist. I mean come on, you already know the answer. Muu is cute, loyal, sweet,--"

"Fine, I get it. My brother is perfect. But you gotta stop wasting your time on him (y/n). Do you really think he's up for that kind of relationship that you want? He's got responsibilities to the Reim Empire, not to mention you too, you're the priestess' only apprentice." She explained. Your eyes wandered to the corner. "Yeah... I guess responsibility comes in first." You agreed regretfully.

'Damn you responsibility!' 😡

"Hey. Don't be bummed. I know! We're going to hit a pub later. Wanna join?"

"Is Muu going to be there?"

"No. Duties." Myron sighed. I smiled. That would be better, I guess.

"Sure, I'll be there."

***

"Are you sure I should be wearing this?" You asked Myron. The female Fanalis nodded enthusiastically at you. "Of course. It's the latest trend here at Reim!"

"I've never heard of that." You stated, a bit incredulous of Myron.

"Says the one who lives in a cave." She retorted. The two of you laughed. Well, she has a point in there. You never really cared about fashion trends.

"Fine. I'll wear this."

"Now that's the guts. Let's go!"

***

When you went inside the pub, all eyes immediately turned to you. At that time you wanted to go back to your house and avoid humanity for the rest of your life. Attention was certainly one of the things that you don't want to have, but remember, you are heart broken, and broken hearts do the wildest stuffs.

You followed behind Myron, who was strutting like a leopardess, full of courage to the bar where the other Fanalis at. Oh, how you hope that no one can notice that you've actually been deduced to jelly inside. Receiving all those stares and whistles made you feel weak at the knees.

"Hey there Myron!"

"You brought (y/n)-chan along!"

"Yeah. This poor kitty needs to move on from her first true love." Myron said as she put an arm over my shoulder and hugged me tight. 'This girl...' I gave her a 'one-more-word' look. Thankfully it seems that she got the message.

"Is that so (y/n)-chan? I'm sorry for you." Said a young female Fanalis. You smiled warmly at her. "There's no need to worry about me."

"Yeah. The only problem we have is flames. Somebody get an extinguisher or something, this hottie might flare up anytime." Roh'roh joked. Everyone in the vicinity laughed.

"Very funny, buff daddy." You rolled your eyes at him. Just then two random guys put their arms over your shoulder.

"Hey, why don't you just date one of us?"

"I'm sure we're better than your first love."

I frowned. Looking behind I gestured Myron who was busy having another one of their 'cute fights' as I call it with Roh'roh to come over. She dropped her current conversation and walked towards us.

"What's up (y/n)?" She asked.

"These two gutsy men said that they're better than your brother." I pointed. Myron's expression immediately turned grim. She cracked her knuckles white.

"Oh is that so? Well then, let's prove it." Terrified of Myron's challenge, the two immediately ran away screaming for their lives. Myron and a few other Fanalis ran after them.

I just hoped they'll make it out alive.

There you are again, praying for the impossible (y/n).

"I didn't know I was your first true love." Someone commented. Your blood ran cold. That familiar voice... It couldn't be.

You turned your head around. Yep, he is who you are dreading --> Muu Alexius.

"Ahahahaha! Muu! What are you doing here?" An awkward laugh escaped your lips. 'I hope he'd forget about that...'

"So I was your first true love?" He repeated. 'Okay, there's no way he'd forget about that.'

"Umm... Ahahaha! W-what a-are y-y-ou talk-ing a-a-a-bout..?" You were stuttering heavily that it was already hard to form coherent words.

"Calm down, (y/n). Hey, can you give us a glass of water?" Muu asked the pub worker. He immediately nodded and disappeared elsewhere, going back almost only a second after with a glass of water. You grabbed it from him and downed it all with just one gulp.

"Thank you very much." You sighed of relief, finally having your heart slowly go back to its normal rhythm.

"What's with this clothes?" Muu asked, pinching a piece of fabric from your dress. You turned so he'd lose his grab on it. "It's a new trend."

"I don't like women wearing revealing clothes. And you're in love with me. How's that going to work?" Muu smiled smugly.

"For your information, I am already moving on!" You snapped.

"That quick? You didn't even confessed to me."

"I already confessed this morning."

"Yeah. To pasta."

Your face went red upon remembering that epic confession fail. "F-fine! But I already know that I'm rejected cause... Responsibilities come first! And you are a strong warrior that everyone depends on! I... I simply cannot..."

"Say it again."

"What?"

"Confess properly."

You shook your head. "N-no way!"

"Just do it will you?" He crossed his arms. You heaved a deep sigh. I swear, this will be the last time I'll make a fool of myself in front of a man.

"Listen here, Muu Alexius! I'm gonna say this only once so you'd better listen! I love you okay?! Ever since that time when you saved me from almost getting killed!"

"That is a long, long time ago. Big brother is really mean~." Myron whispered. The other Fanalis behind her nodded in agreement.

"I love you so much! But since you won't like a girl like me and I'll be in your way I'd forget these feelings! Did you get that? Good! Cause I'm not repeating---"

"Well, you just repeated that two times already..." Muu pulled you closer to him by the wrist. "I love you too, (y/n)." And he leaned down a little bit to give you a kiss. Everyone inside the pub roared loudly.

***

(Y/n) and Muu had their heads bowed down in dignified respect, sweat rolling down from their temples as they await a response from their mistress, the High Priestess of Reim- Scheherazade.

Only a day after they've become an official couple, the high priestess summoned them to her chambers. She doesn't allow anyone to meet her personally everyday except when it is really necessary, and they're guessing that it has something to with their newly formed relationship. They meant to tell her earlier, although (y/n) was a little afraid because of what she and the high priestess talked about in the past. Now they're in this situation, and (y/n) is more afraid than ever that Lady Scheherazade will force them to break up because of 'responsibilities to the empire.'

A clank of metal making contact to the marble floor resonated throughout the room, and her nearing footsteps that increased the dread beating inside their chests. Soon (y/n) was able to perceive a hint of white gown within her peripheral vision.

"Please rise." She commanded. The two of them did as she said, but (y/n)'s head still lowered down. Suddenly the high priestess' laughed.

"What's with that faces? Cheer up, I just want to congratulate you." She said.

'Really? She's not mad at all...?'

"So I want a cute grand daughter soon okay?" Lady Scheherazade said with a gentle smile. Muu chuckled nervously in response, while (y/n)'s face was covered in a horrifying deep shade of bright red.
