Wings & Dreams

Unenthusiastic

Zeyn had been following her all day, but the human girl was still in the same condition. His face was gloomy and lethargic and he did not speak much. That girl doesn't fuck either. He did not even rest in his room. Perhaps Clara was afraid she would keep following him, or simply still afraid to use her abilities while asleep.

Now, they're in his study, aka a small library. The girl was busy reading her thick brown book.

"Who read what?" Zeyn asked, even though he already knew the answer. Faepedia Book. "You look very serious" he said, trying to enliven the atmosphere. But all he got was a momentary nod. The girl's head was already buried back in the book.

"Clara," he sighed and approached her. "I'm talking to you."

"Huh? Oh, yes, sorry. So, what did you say?" The girl gave him a plain look. "I couldn't hear it."

"You obviously didn't notice me" he muttered, then sat down beside him. "Today you look lethargic."

Clara fell silent, pretending to read the book. Zeyn moved his finger slightly so that the pages of the book were blown away by the wind.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

"You just ignored me."

"I have a lot of thoughts!" Reply to the girl, then stand up. "I'm gonna take a shower. Don't follow me." After that, he just went out of the room.

"Basic, it's like a stalker" I murmured while rubbing my back. The puff of smoke from the hot water that was flowing helped me calm my mind, as well as relax my body.

Though not a day, but I can not stand his behavior. It's getting me more frustrated. I never thought that having a guard always by my side would feel this bad.

After taking a shower, I put my clothes back on and found Kei in my room.

"You want what, Kei? I don't want to be disturbed, I'm tired" I said without looking at him. He clicked his tongue. "After being rejected by Clora, now you're also away from me. I still don't understand what's wrong with all of you."

"You're wrong" I replied lethargicly. Kei still looked at me suspiciously. "Maybe, there's something wrong with leaking my abilities to your friends."

"I have to do that, Clara. Besides, I trust him."

"But I'm not." I looked at him sharply. "I don't hate your friends. I like Rio's ignorant nature like that, and also Dain's calm and calm, but I don't know them."

"Then, try to get to know them," Kei said casually.

"How is it? You don't see me being followed by Zeyn?" I laid myself on a soft bed, and stretched my muscles. I miss the comfort of the bed.

"But you're not forbidden to go out. Try bargaining. Maybe he will change his mind when he realizes that Rio and Dain are trustworthy people." After that, Kei had already left my room.

I decided to lie on the bed until the day changed, but still, the drowsiness never came. My stomach also started to sound because it had not eaten anything. I forced my legs to take me out of the room.

In the dining room I was surprised by Jon's presence.

"What are you-"

"Don't make a fuss first" he cut, looking at me with hatred. "The big-bodied man who let me roam the house."

"Men? You mean Zeyn?"

"Whatever his name is." I looked over and found Zeyn. The man again made me misbehave with his sweet smile. "How's Clara? I purposely did this to get your mood better."

"Best? It's getting fucked up!" I grunt. Jon simply rolled his eyeballs and was about to walk outside the room. "I don't want to see you either, Clara. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not here to see you, but to fill my stomach."

"Looks like humans are hungry, huh?" Zeyn had already ransacked the cabinet cabinet, then took out one bottle of canned food. "Then you guys. We eat together."

***

Only three. Without Kei and Clora. It's even getting me more frustrated.

I sighed and put the spoon back in my grasp.

"Don't be like that, Clara. You make me uncomfortable" Zeyn said lightly.

"I'm the one who's uncomfortable."

"Aren't you comfortable being with me or with your human friend?" Zeyn glanced at Jon, who was pretending not to listen to our conversation.

"Both."

"Clar." Zeyn's excited face began to be replaced with a worried expression. "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I just wanted to show you that you deserve to feel welcome here. So, don't hesitate on me and tell me all your problems."

I'm speechless. I don't really feel like I'm not welcome. More precisely, I'm the problem here. Maybe I deliberately kept my distance from Zeyn because I had a lot of thoughts. Maybe this nice guy really meant to help me.

"So you're willing to hear my complaints about my abilities?" My words annoyed Jon a little. He just fell silent and looked down. His hands were busy twirling the contents of the soup presented before him.

"Of course, Clara," he said in a soft voice. Then he put his hand on my hand. I shuddered and was about to brush him off, but he purposely held my hand tight.

I started to sweat and already gave Zeyn a warning look, but he didn't care. Jon clenched his hands, trying to hide his feelings of jealousy.

"If it's-so..." Damnit. I'm getting nervous. "Let me hunt Krilie, just once with Kei and his friends."

"Can't!"

"What?!"

These two men reacted immediately. Jon cleared his throat, then got up from the chair. "I'm saying goodbye."

"Jon-"

"Don't mind him, Clara." Zeyn further tightened his grasp. I looked at him in disbelief. "He's my friend, he-"

"He attacked you at that time. You're forgot?"

I gave up and held onto my dizzy jidat. "Of course not."

"I'm not going to ban you, you know that, right?" He said while stroking my hand with the back of his finger. "I'm just worried, don't want you to get hurt."

I looked at him. The man with the color of brown hair, then his beautiful black eyes. Handsome guy with a big body.

And the man who was throwing a smile at me. "Promise me that this can make your mood improve."

"L-yes," I replied hesitantly.

"And do you promise not to fall into trouble, and to protect yourself well?"

"Of course" this time I answered with confidence. "I can protect myself."

"I know I can count on you." Zeyn then stood up and walked up to me, still clasping my hand. I looked up to see his face, and suddenly he touched my cheek with his fine fingers.

"Clara.." he muttered in his heavy voice. My heart suddenly raced, and I painstakingly controlled myself so as not to misbehave.

Zeyn looked me straight in the eye, this time with a gaze that made me unable to turn away from him. After sharing a few seconds of vision, he finally regained his senses and blinked his eyes.

"Then I will allow you tomorrow morning. I'll go hunting with you guys."

It's better than being watched inside this house. I nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Zeyn. I won't let you down."

"I'm satisfied with you." He stroked my cheek, then put a brief peck on my forehead, which made me blush. Finally, when I went to sleep at night, Zeyn's face kept making me aware.
