"(Y/n)!"
Called out a familiar voice. You turned your head around, and saw a young man with beautiful blonde hair heading your way. Immediately you recognised him as one of your best friends, Titus Alexius.
"Oh, Titus. What a surprise. I thought I won't be seeing you today." You said. Titus landed his hands on his half bent knees and panted a few times. "There's... Something... I want to... Ask..." He said between heavy breaths.
"Hey try to calm your lungs a bit before speaking." You rubbed a hand on his back as he panted more. Titus did not say anything after that. He was too busy dealing with his unstable breathing. When Titus went back to normal, he stood up straight and fixed his disarrayed appearance.
"There was something you want to ask me...?"
"Oh yes, there is." He said, being reminded of his main objective for skipping classes.
"Okay. Shoot."
"How do you---." People around the hall gazed quizzically at us. Titus stopped midway, realising that he had asked the question a bit loud. Clearing his throat, he gave the crowd a 'watcha-lookin-at?' kind of expression and they all quickly dissipated before anything else. "That's better." Titus remarked. He resumed on the question, this time he whispered it in your ear so no one would hear.
A shiver ran down your spine when his warm breath touched your skin. You were kind of sensitive in physical contact, even with friends you chose to keep a distance. However the question he asked made your blood run cold, a clear expression of disbelief painted in your whole face.
"How do you confess to someone you like?"
Immediately you pushed him away and whacked his head with a heavy tome you were carrying.
"Did you seriously skipped your important maref just to ask me this ridiculous question?!" You bursted out. The people in the hall once again halted in their steps, attention was focused on you both. Before it can even get to that awkward second you shot everyone glares. The hall become lively with footsteps again. Students passed by you as if nothing happened.
"Yeah. And don't be scandalous." Titus complained. You sighed. 'This guy is really...'
"So, are you gonna tell me? Please tell me!" He pleaded.
'A pain in the ass.'
"Fine. But first who is this lucky girl you are confessing to?" You inquired. Titus became flustered all of a sudden. He looked away and twiddled his fingers in embarrassment. "Well, that's a secret for now."
Pain stabbed you straight through in the heart. Tears dared to fill the water lines of your eyes. A girl, a very special girl is giving Titus this kind of reaction. He wants to confess to her, to her that isn't you.
This is also a secret you want to keep. You have a crush on Titus for a while now. He was perfect, like a prince from a fairytale book. The first time you met him you said to yourself, 'he is the one.' But alas life is not like a fairytale, or a book where every line is scripted. Life is full of random sweetness and pain. Guess you'll be stuck in the friend zone... Forever.

"Gosh Titus, you're so stiff. If you'll keep on doing that, she won't believe you at all."
You invited him for practice in an empty classroom. It has been about an hour already since you started, and still no hopeful progress.
"S-sorry. I... I get so nervous whenever I think about it." He said.
"Then don't think about it at all. Just erase that kind of scene from your head first." You pulled a chair near him and sat so you can give Titus a better explanation. "Forget the confession for a bit. Forget the place where you planned to tell her everything. Forget your practiced lines. Think about that girl. Just her. Think back all the memories you had with her. Your first meeting, your first conversations, the moments you spent together... And the time that you realised that... You have already fallen in love with her... Now, what do you feel like saying?"
Titus' POV
"Forget the confession for a bit. Forget the place where you planned to tell her everything. Forget your practiced lines. Think about that girl. Just her. Think back all the memories you had with her. Your first meeting, your first conversations, the moments you spent together... And the time that you realised that... You have already fallen in love with her... Now, what do you feel like saying?"
I closed my eyes, and think back to those days just like (y/n) instructed. Our first meeting? That was when I was paired by Professor Irene to an unknown girl for a project. She doesn't appear like someone who has brains. Her face was curtained by her (h/c) tangled locks, her uniform was crumpled and she is very quiet. Of course I was disappointed, if not angry. There is no way I'm working with that kind of girl. A young man of high status such like me couldn't be seen with a disgraceful companion.
'No problem. I am more than capable of finishing it on my own.'
Our first conversation? She approached me one day to inquire about the project. It was also the first time she looked me in the eye. I was immediately caught in her dreamy (e/c) orbs. There is a somewhat special spark in them that makes me want to stare at her all day. For the first time I was lost for words, so she had to lead the conversation.
'Let's work on it together shall we?'
She made me realise just how obnoxious I was. Before I knew it I changed into someone I didn't know I would be. But I like it. Life became more fun with her around. Everything became brighter, cheerful, and louder.
I cannot remember though the time I realised that I have fallen in love with her. Have I lost it, or maybe, I have fallen in love with her from the start?
I opened my eyes.

"(Y/n)"
"Did you remember now? Let me hear it."
"At first, you didn't look anything special to me. You were perfectly ordinary, insignificant at any prospect."
"Hey what's with tha--"
"I didn't know what made me turn my head to you. As I said you were insignificant."
"Okay, that is just real---"
"But why am I captivated so much with your eyes? Why do I desperately want to hear your voice everyday? Why do I keep longing for the warmth of your hand? Why do you keep on giving me these kind of weird feelings? I feel so stupid for not understanding this surreality. Then I realised that I have... Helplessly fallen in love with you." Titus said. You blushed when he looked at you straight in the eyes, as if those words were meant for you. Suddenly he took your hand on his, and grasped it ever so gently.
"If you will give me a chance, I promise to make you smile everyday. I won't cause you any agony or despair. I'll protect your happiness..." His gaze on you intensified. He brought his face closer, until it was only mere inches apart from yours. Your heart throbbed painfully.
'If only I was that special girl.'
"Because I love you...My special (y/n)." Titus brought his lips to yours. Surprise registered in a little late, you cannot find the will to push him away. The tears that have been waiting to drop since earlier that morning successfully cascaded down your flushed cheeks. You cannot wish for anything else. The man you love finally reciprocated your feelings. It feels too good to be true
'But even if this is just a dream, I will love you no matter what happens.'

Okay, I'm still gonna love this, no matter what happens. 'Cause I love magi.
Thank you for reading until this far....
