[YUNO]
The train journey to the capital was wholly tiring and extremely loud. It must have been because I hadn't been confined to a space with Asta for six long hours before so it had driven me crazy to listen to his loud voice constantly. It was good at least since I could avoid thinking about what happened two days ago…
-2 Days Earlier-
Just as I expected, he wouldn't let me get away with insulting him. We hadn't argued for a while because of training for the entrance exam but now that it was all done, it seemed that I had missed fighting with Asta.
"You sure are a mess, aren't you?" I sighed and snapped my book shut. All of that noise was making it hard for me to concentrate on anything.
It all happened over a few moments. One moment he had his fist clenched and that gloriously vengeful expression painted onto his face before the next where he had smashed into me and flattened us both to the bed. He had me pinned to the bed by his body which was unusually heavy compared to his size. Being this close to him felt weird, we hadn't spent much time together since we were kids. Something inside me felt stirred up, although it was probably my breakfast being squashed by Asta. I felt so odd and suffocated by the feeling that I pushed him off of me and onto the floor a bit too harshly, before storming out.
I didn't realise why I was so upset by something so trivial but it seemed like the effect had worn off by the time he had chased me down and protested to my physical attack on him.
"I'm ready to start unpacking!" Asta shouted.
"…we can unpack a bit later…" I had barely slept in the past few days and neither did I get to catch up on my sleep on the train because of a certain living alarm clock. Instead, I collapsed on the sofa in the middle of the room. Although the apartment was small for two people, we had to make do since we didn't have the privilege of living in the dormitories like the nobles.
"GET UP, YUNO! LET'S COMPETE TO SEE WHO CAN UNPACK FASTER~" He held up his fist and flung his challenge at me, which practically slapped me across the face. I hated to lose and he knew that I could never resist a competition. Despite being annoyed to the core, I forced myself to stand and started to move boxes into the living room.
At an inhumane speed, we finished unpacking our things within half an hour; although we didn't have that many belongings in the first place. I collapsed onto my beloved sofa once again before Asta grabbed onto my shirt.
"Not yet…I'm not done yet…! LET'S TRAIN!" Sweat was trickling down his forehead yet he somehow forced himself to stand and motivate himself.
"Asta…CALM DOWN!" Hitting him directly on the head surprisingly had a critical effect since he collapsed onto the floor.
Since Asta was asleep, I finally had time to be with my thoughts. What exactly was it that I felt before? Was it really my breakfast acting up? As I drifted off to sleep, I reached one conclusion- I was glad to finally spend more time with Asta...
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
I've decided to alternate their POVs every chapter so next chapter is in Asta's POV! And they will finally go to school also. Look forward to it!
