BitterSweet
Fuyumi walked in the hallways of the Master Course while looking down at her notepad. She examined the schedule of places the others could be as of now according to Reiji.
"Camus-senpai goes to the personal library at the west wing at 2:00 pm."
The rookie flipped her notepad to a close and advanced towards the library. The sound of her footsteps echoed through the empty halls. Her walking was put to a stop when she realized something.
"I forgot to ask directions...!" She exclaimed as she slapped a hand over her face with a groan. She let out a soft sigh and started walking again. "When in doubt... Guess." She turned to the right with an unease frown.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
"AUGH! I'M OFFICIALLY LOST!!" The composer fell on her knees with an exhausted face after she did her outburst. Fuyumi had been walking for who-knows-how-long just to find the library. Glancing at her watch, she panicked on how it was almost 2:00 pm. The black haired girl looked from left to right to see any sign to where the library was. Oh, how she wished someone was around to give her directions!
"What are you doing here?" A soft voice called to her from behind. Fuyumi blinked and looked over her shoulder. Ai stood behind her while looking down at her with his usual deadpan facade. Fuyumi sprang up quickly.
"M-Mikaze-senpai...!" She said in surprised as Ai looked at her uninterestingly.
"I asked a question." He replied, still staring at her.
"I-I was looking for the library." Fuyumi averted her gaze to the side while scratching her cheek. The bluenette blinked and thought for a moment.
"Isn't that where Camus does his usual alone time?" Ai thought to himself as Fuyumi blinked with an invisible question mark floating above her head on why he was still staring at her. "... This could be interesting for some reason..."
"Turn right, then go straight ahead."
"Eh?"
"Do I have to repeat myself?" Ai sighed as he shook his head. "I said, turn right, then go straight. You'll find the library there."
"O-Oh! Thank you, Mikaze-senpai!" Fuyumi beamed at him before bowing and excusing herself as she began walking away from the bluenette. Ai watched her go as he looked away and started walking to the other direction.
"Why did I helped her...?"

At the library, Camus sat beside the window while reading a novel as a tea set was settled on a table that was next to him. There was a comfortable silence around the count as his eyes read the words with no shown of interest in it. But, he was clearly enjoying it. Fuyumi hid behind the bookshelf as she watched Camus reading. Taking out a notepad, she started writing down.
"A silent reader"
Camus looked up from his book that made Fuyumi flinched and clamped her mouth. He stood up and started walking towards where she was hiding. The composer started sweating as she resisted the urge to gulp. "Did he found me?!" She panicked mentally as she closed eyes shut. The count stopped in front of the bookshelf and raised his hand up slowly. His hand moved the other books away and placed the novel back in. Fuyumi looked up a bit and sighed in relief in the inside as Camus got book and went back to his seat.
The royal count poured tea in his cup as he placed five sugar cubes in it one by one before stirring it with a spoon. Fuyumi watched from the small opening from the bookshelf as she blinked.
"He put five sugar cubes in his tea." She thought in surprised. "That's a lot of it..."
He lifted his tea up to his lips and took a small sip as a small contented smile spread across his lips. Fuyumi stared in awe at the count. His smile was really charming and attractive. Setting it down, Camus got a fork and took a piece from his strawberry shortcake. The composer could only stare and cry internally on how someone was eating sweets in front of her. Now, she felt like going out and head straight to a cafe then order a lot of sweets.
She realized something very interesting to herself.
"He has a big sweet tooth just like me."
The fact made her shivered a bit because she didn't expect the count to have this kind of habit. Despite his bitter attitude, he really was fond of sweets. Fuyumi took note of that and decided to leave the count alone.
"It's no use hiding anymore." Fuyumi flinched at the low tone and stumbled on the floor with a loud thud. Camus looked straight at the bookshelf. Fuyumi mentally swore in her mind for blewing up her cover and just escaped already. Sighing, she got out of her hiding place as the count did a cold stare directly at her.
"Why were you spying on me?" He asked questioningly as his icy blue eyes narrowed at her. "And, why are you here?"
A drop of sweat ran down her cheek as she quickly began thinking of an excuse.
"I-I was...! Uhm...!" She looked right to left and turned to the bookshelf and got a book from it not knowing what it was. She smiled as she raised it up. "I was getting this book! That's right!"
Camus stared at her. "The Art of Eating Sweets?"
Her smile twitched as she looked at it. "Y-Yeah...?"
The count stared at her again as Fuyumi stared back with unease. He closed his eyes and sighed before cracking open the book he was holding and started reading once again.
"I'll be going now!!" Fuyumi said as she turned her heels and advanced towards the door.
"You."
She froze when her hand was already on the door handle. She didn't want to look at him this time but she turned her head to him either way. Camus poured tea on his cup again like the last time but put two sugar cubes this time.
"As much as I don't like to admit it..." He stirred the spoon not looking at her. "... I have to agree with Kurosaki. I advise you to go home because we don't need a rookie like you. If you don't want to get yourself hurt, then leave. That's all."
Fuyumi turned away and walked out as the door shut, leaving the count all alone again. Camus sipped his tea as he sighed. "Creepy stalker..." He muttered under his breath. The door opened again as Fuyumi's head popped out.
"Oh and Camus-senpai, I like your choice of sweets." Fuyumi said with a small smile. "And for the record, I'm not just an ordinary rookie."
With that, Fuyumi closed the door and left. Camus stared at the door as he blinked in confusion.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Fuyumi started walking in the hallways once again as she wrote on her notepad.
"Camus - A cold count but has that charming smile when he's relaxed with tea and sweets. He can be nice at times but can be mean at the same time."
Flipping the notepad to a close, Fuyumi made her way to her next destination.
