Silabus looked out at the docks in Mac Anu, he loved looking at the almost real ocean as the waves beat almost realistically against the docks making splash noises. Granted, it wasn't like the real thing, you couldn't smell the ocean or feel it, but, it was close enough for now. Playing with the end of his hair swirl, he hummed out softly before standing. He should get offline soon, it was late, almost around three AM, and it didn't help that he had class at eight AM either.
In real life, Yuuichi, Silabus's actual person, yawned and his character mimicked the movement, right down to Yuuichi putting his hand over his mouth.
"I have to say, I'm surprise to see you up at this time at night."
Silabus turned around to see Haseo strolling around the corner, this made Silabus chuckle.
"I can say the same to you." Silabus countered back, earning a snort from his guild master,
"Hm, good point."
There was a silence between the two, then Haseo broke the ice between the two of them first,
"Mind if I join you?"
"Not at all." Silabus smiled and sat back down, Haseo quickly joined him, the two of them sitting beside each other, for a while, the only sound between them was the sound of the fake waves hitting the docks. However, when Silabus leaned back a bit, Haseo broke the silence once again, an awkward chuckle leaving his mouth as he spoke.
"Um...You know, I've been hearing these...interesting rumors about you all over the forums."
Silabus was quick to look at him, interested and intrigued, a smile on his face,
"Oh?" Silabus asked with a slight smirk on his face, he knew where this was going, he gets this question almost everyday, of course, it was only a matter of time before their guild master would ask the same question.
"Well, I just want to know, is it true about you and...Kuhn?"
Silabus just couldn't suppress his laughter anymore, laughing behind his hand, his shoulders shook up and down almost violently. Finally, he just shook his head.
"I really don't know how those rumors started, but, no, it's not. Have you not met Kuhn? Do you really think him and I could ever be a thing?" Silabus asked Haseo, Silabus still laughing a tad. Haseo chuckled a bit.
"I guess, if I really think about it, you do have a good point. For a moment, I forgot just who Kuhn actually was. I just thought, you two did have some history together-"
Silabus laughed again.
"History? Yeah, he's my friend, and Canards old leader, but, me and him...we haven't been anything more than friends." Silabus clarified making Haseo blush a bit in embarrassment.
"Oh..." Haseo breathed out, the blush still apparent on his face. Seeing this, Silabus just smiled and put a hand on Haseo's shoulder.
"You aren't the only one to ask and assume, don't feel bad." Silabus comforted a bit, Haseo just snorted.
"How come you never...You know, deny those rumors on the forums?" Haseo asked, Silabus smiled again and looked out at the sea before him.
"I don't get involved in forums or rumors...unless they're hurtful towards me or my friends that is."
There was another silence between the two, Yuuichi felt his eyes go heavy for a moment, he should really get to bed soon...
"So you don't find the rumors about you dating Kuhn, hurtful?" Haseo asked, snapping Yuuichi out of his tired daze.
"Of course not, and Kuhn doesn't really either, Ever since he made Canard the rumors started, heck, I've had people ask me if he left Kestrel just to be with me...It just gotten to the point that, we can only laugh at the rumors." Silabus explained and Haseo let out a soft hum. Finally, when he couldn't bare his tiredness anymore, Silabus stood up.
"So, I have to go to class in..." He paused as Yuuichi checked the time and his jaw pretty much dropped. "Four hours...so I should get some rest..." He told Haseo as he stretched his hands above his head. However, Before he could say his goodbyes, Haseo stood as well and spoke.
"Yeah, I understand, before you go however, I heard one more rumor I wanted to clarify with you."
As Silabus yawned, Yuuichi thought, 'It can't wait? Oh well...'
"Yeah?" He asked in mid yawn.
"Well, this one started rather recently, it's about, well, us."
Silabus blinked and chuckled.
"It's obviously not true, you must be as tired as me, Haseo." Silabus laughed slightly, and Haseo opened his mouth,
"Well...What if, I wanted the rumors to be true?"
Silabus blinked, his face mimicking Yuuichi's own surprised expression. Silabus and Yuucihi both brought their hands up to their eyes and rubbed them quickly.
"I'm sorry, did you just say that...Y-You...Haseo...wants to...go out with me?" Silabus stuttered still rubbing his eyes, wondering if he even heard his friend right. Haseo blushed and looked away, seeing Silabus's reaction.
"I mean, not if you don't want to, I just..." Haseo went quiet, not finishing his sentence. Silabus breathed in and out, they both just stood there an icy silence consuming both of them. Yuuichi sat there in his chair, thinking.
'This is out of nowhere! I mean, what prompted this?! He's never showed signs of liking me!' Yuuichi thought, his eyes wide, the sleep now vanishing from his mind as he stood there trying to think of what to say to his friend. Finally, after what seemed like forever, Silabus spoke.
"I...What about Atoli? Or Alkaid?"
"What about them?" Haseo countered with a shrug.
"I just figured...That if you wanted to date anybody it'd be one of them..." Silabus confessed, earning a slight chuckle from Haseo,
"Look, I see Atoli as an annoying little sister, I like her, but not in that way, and I don't see Alkaid like that either."
Silabus breathed out. He looked out at the ocean, and finally just sighed, crossing his arms in thought.
'...I don't even know if I like him in that way...Plus there's the obvious problem, he's younger than me, granted only by two years, but, I'm in college and he's in high school...' Yuuichi thought, he hadn't realized that Silabus went still as he thought, it hasn't been brought to his attention until Haseo whistled at him.
"Did you go to sleep at your computer?" Haseo asked with a laugh, Silabus snapped out of it and looked at Haseo. With a heavy sigh, Silabus had only one thought in his mind.
'Why not?'
"Sure...I mean, I would like to...see how it works between the two of us."
Haseo smiled, this alone made Silabus blush and smile back. Haseo reached forward and grabbed Silabus's hand causing the brandier to blush even harder. Neither of them spoke for a moment, then Haseo was the first to speak,
"...We'll talk more on it later if you want, I mean you have three hours till class."
Silabus just laughed, it was a kind of bitter laugh, one that made Haseo just chuckle in response to.
"No point in trying to sleep now...Want to talk about it while leveling up?" Silabus suggested and Haseo smiled.
"Sure sounds like a plan."
Ok, so this WAS originally going to be a one-shot, but because it's me, that can't happen. This is a request by Ben4Kevin, that I'm finally getting around to, I hope you enjoy.
