Synthesis 4: Fainting and Vayne's "Potential Bride" List (Vayne x Anna)
Anna walked slowly back to the workshop after visiting Flay. She felt dizzy. She felt her forehead.
Oh no. Seems like her fever rose up…
She her head felt unusually heavy; and her sight started to waver as she went down the stairs.
She looked up. A student with white hair with a black cat was approaching her.
Then, her sight turned black as she fell down the stairs.
"Anna! Anna! Can you hear me?"
That was the last thing she could hear before she lost her consciousness.
Anna's POV
"Meow." I heard a cat and someone talking to in reply.
"I know, Sulpher…"
Sulpher…? My head felt queasy. Then, this was Vayne-sempai…
"Meow." The cat's sandpapery tongue hit my cheek.
"Sulpher, what are you doing?" Sulpher jumped down from my body and poofed to his human form.
"I'm going somewhere. That girl's awake. Watch over her." Sulpher jumped---maybe---off the window.
Vayne-sempai looked at me. "Anna! You're awake! That's good…"
"Vayne-sempai, what happened to me…?" My voice whispered.
"You fainted at the hallway," Vayne-sempai observed the thermometer. "So Sulpher and I brought you---whoa, 39 degrees?"
I flinched. This could result to two days recovery. I tried sitting up. No good.
"Anna! Don't force yourself!" Vayne-sempai hurriedly rushed to my side. "You should rest for now…"
"But---"Vayne-sempai cut me off. "Anna, if you force yourself, you'll have to go to school after three days of recovery."
I had enough energy to raise my eyebrow. Here goes the worry-wart future doctor. Future, that is.
"Anna, onegai, just… rest." Vayne-sempai held my hand.
"…wakata desu wa, sempai. (I get it, sempai.)" Vayne-sempai sighed with relief.
I stared at the workshop ceiling for a while. My vision really turned out blurry…
Vayne's POV
I looked at Anna as she stared at the ceiling for a while, and eventually, she slept. I smiled.
"You were going to stare at your potential love interest now that she's knocked out?" I glared at Sulpher, who was reading a book and now was sitting on the floor. He looked up.
I still can't believe that Sulpher and the other manas could revert to their human forms. Fancy...
"You call that a glare?" My shoulders slumped.
"Stop with the jokes, Sulpher." Sulpher paid no attention at me.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I sighed. "Seriously, three women are around you. Sort your feelings out." I stared at Sulpher.
"What are you talking about, Sulpher? Sort your feelings out?"
"I'm talking about your potential brides."
I looked incredulously at Sulpher. "Wh-what are you---"
"That blonde, flirty beast man---er, girl. Chances of you marrying her? I'd slim that down to a revolting 86%. With her explaining the sudden decrease of the beast men, you'd marry her for the pity or the love, if ever. I prefer pity, but that's me, not you." I narrowed my eyes at Sulpher, but I said nothing.
"Anna Lemouri. I say, not bad, but the age gap is so illuminating that I can't help notice. Nah, by some weird chance you marry her she'd be like the husband more than you are. Her neat-freak, serious, adult-like attitude and your spineless, undependable, careless nature is like asking for Zeppel to propose marriage to Isolde."
"S-Sulpher!" I look at my mana. He just smirked.
I knew that Sulpher is so annoyingly blunt, but this is…
So straight-out-that-it-hurts kind of blunt…
"Jessica Philomele. I say, pretty, but ditsy and is a total failure at Alchemy to the point that Rosenkrantz gave her a basics book. Has a scary determination, but can make a good wife. Well, I don't want to wonder about her cooking skills, though. Problem? She's suffering from a disease. In my opinion, she's your lovely blushing bride for the future. My opinion, though."
Jess…? As my bride…? I mutter to myself.
Oh no. I'm starting to imagine Jess in a wedding gown. Even Anna and Nikki!
But wow, Anna looks lovely without the headgear… Her eyes take my attention away too…
It looks nice to see her without the sword and headgear… And the bouquet of bluebells suits her, too…
Oh crap. What the hell was I thinking?
Sulpher's POV
Judging by the way that he's shaking his head and grabbing at his hair, I guess he imagined those girls in wedding dresses. I smirked. Idiot of a master.
"Want me to include Lucresia's master to your future bride list?" Vayne looked at me, flustered.
"I take that as a no." I stood up and shut the book. "Besides, Evesthrone's already got Azterion's master for Ibis' love life." Vayne looked at me, a little confused.
"Evesthrone? Is that Lucresia-san's family name?"
"Lucresia Uimir Evesthrone, Velvet Raine Wrienrest, Alicia Einel Terranfia, Alhitus Klleis Decapolis, Escalder Rodmeir Hieldrieve, Azterion Fllameirn Redalierford, and Sulpher Rinatos Zentriele." I stare at the book's cover. Vayne perked in thought. I smirked.
Uimir, Raine, Einel, Klleis, Rodmeir, Fllameirn, and Rinatos were the most world-famous alchemists.
I stepped on the window's ledge, about to leave.
"Hey wait, Sulpher, about your names---"I jumped off the window and poofed back to a cat.
Vayne's POV
Just before I was about to ask Sulpher about their names, he jumped off the window. Again.
Uimir, Raine, Einel, Klleis, Rodmeir, Fllameirn, and Rinatos… I shook my head. I stood up, about to get a book, when suddenly Anna's hand grabbed mine.
Holy crap.
"…Don't…leave me…" I blinked at the words she uttered. Was she still asleep? I tried to reach for the book, but her grip was still on. I sat down.
Oh boy, if suddenly anyone busts in the workshop, I am so doomed.
That is, if. Flay was in the infirmary, Nikki went to the rooftop, Muppy's doing some freaky random stuff, Pamela, as Lucresia said, was depressed, Roxis went to apologize to her, and Jess was finding some ingredients. I looked at the turquoise-haired girl.
She looked so peaceful when she slept, her hair fluttered around her.
Now I am observing my kouhai as she sleeps quietly.
What the heck is wrong with me?
But Anna is really pretty when I stare at her like this… She makes me want to sleep too.
Aaaargh! Now I'm getting sleepy and thinking about my feelings for Anna…
Stupid Sulpher… I think before I start to sleep.
Anna's POV
I start to stir, and I look at the workshop ceiling. I guess my eyesight is a bit better now. And my head doesn't ache anymore.
I feel my forehead. My fever went down already...
I sit up successfully, and I see Vayne-sempai's hand intertwined with mine.
…
Oh no! Wh-what is th-this…? I feel the heat on my cheeks. Vayne-sempai was asleep.
Right… Sempai was treating me… I looked at my sempai. His unusual white hair spread around his face.
He has become dependable now…
...No…! I feel the heat stir up again. I sigh as I look at my sempai.
"Sweet dreams, Vayne-sempai." With that, I left the workshop, covering him in the blanket.

Long time since I haven't updated… Although I don't get that much reviews, it's okay for me… but it doesn't mean I don't want to get reviews, though, so please review…
A Flay x Nikki next.
