Following a strange mishap which occurred on the escort, Asta and Klaus were left fuming. Not only did they have to bear the embarrassment of failing the test; but knowing they also upset a fellow squadmate, simply didn't go down well.
"If you didn't open your big mouth non of this would've happened!"
"Absurd, I can't believe you are still accusing me of this mess," said Klaus.
"I'm only accusing you because you went too far this time!" shouted Asta
"This would've never happened if you didn't show up!"
"WILL YOU BOTH JUST SHUT UP!" said a familiar voice.
The sound severed the aggressive atmosphere, thus attaining the attention both of the steal and Anti-magic user. The familiar voice was non-other than their fellow squadmate Yuno.
The wind user had just come back from an important, but dangerous mission. He was tired, exhausted even, he had bags under his eyes and battle scares around him; the last thing he wanted was to deal with a meaningless argument.
"Do you guys see what time it is, you guys are making too much noise."
"Oh sorry about that Yuno," said the apologetic swordsman
"My sincerest apologies, I had no idea I was causing such a ruckus."
"I expect this stuff from Asta. But come on Klaus, arguing with this big mouth of all people."
"If you were present in the situation, you would understand where I am coming" followed the Steal mage
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!"
Within a flash, Asta launched his arms, as he tightly clenched collar of the blue-haired mage. "I'm not gonna lecture you again Klaus..."
Before the swordsman could say another word, Yuno unleashed a powerful burst of wind; tossing the Anti-magic user against the wall.
"AHHH! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" shouted Asta
"You're giving me a headache idiot. Have you checked what time it is!" Yuno replied
Taking a quick glance at the clock, the golden dawn knew there was simply no time to cause a ruckus or indulge in unnecessary arguments. He didn't want to wake anyone up he told himself.
*Sigh* "Fine then whatever, I'm going to my room." gently rubbing the sore bump on the back of his head.
The duel wilder left the scene with his comrades, Yuno and Klaus, heading the opposite direction. The wind user was thankful he could finally get some shut-eye, while steal mage was still unsettled by what had happened in these past events.
Surprisingly Asta found himself repeatedly rubbing the sore bump on the back of his head. Unaware of how severe the damage could be, he didn't want to take any chances.
*Knock Knock* *Knock Knock*
"Alright I'm coming, I'm coming."
"Hi, Mimosa!" As it turned out, Asta reached for the most reliable healing mage he knows. "Sorry to wake you up Mimosa, I hope I'm, not a bother."
The flower mages heart was pounding as her face bloomed red "No, no. It-its fine" she replied, "Wh-what, can I help you with."
"Yeah, I got a bit of bump on the back of my head. I think its starting to swell, I was just wondering you could heal it for me."
"Ye-yeah of-course. Co-come on in" inviting the swordsman to her room "Just sit down on my bed."
"Alright ill sit down here then" he replied.
Flower mage delivered fondly smile, before departing to her restroom "Ill be with you in just a sec Asta" closing the door and looking at her mirror
"OH MY GOD, ME AND ASTA IN THE SAME BEDROOM, THIS IS SOOOO EMBARRASSING. IF KNEW HE WAS COMING, I WOULD'VE WORE SOMETHING REVEALING... No! Why am I having such lewd thoughts."
"Ready when you are Mimosa," said Asta
"Coming Asta," splashing water on her face before entering the room.
Within an instant, the Golden Dawn threw her hands as she began casting a spell healing the painful lump on her lovers head. It only took a few seconds, but before Asta knew it, all the swelling and discomfort had gone.
"Wow, Mimosa you're really great when it comes to this type of stuff."
"I'm just doing my job," sitting down side by side
"No Mimosa, I'm really thankful you would help me out like this. If I asked anyone else, I reckon they would turn me away."
"I don't need a reason to help you, Asta. Whenever you need me, I'm, always be there to help you."
"That's why you're awesome Mimosa. Besides Yuno, I'm so glad that you're at Golden Dawn as well, you're the best."
Appreciation and sheer flattery was a dreamland for Mimosa. She used to struggle talking compliments from the Anti-magic user before she would get nervous and come across as very pitiful. But this time was different. Being in contact with the swordsman for a couple of years she started to get used to the recognition she received from her lover. Mimosa had a composed look about her and didn't want to repeat the same mistakes. She wanted Asta to recognise her as a woman, not as nervous reck.
"I'm so happy you said that Asta, I'm also glad you decided to join the Golden Dawn," placing her hands on his lap "Truth is, I feel we come so close since we met."
"Yeah were like one big happy family" he replied
His response shock the female mage as she began to blush uncontrollably, the sudden thought having a family with Asta was something she dreamed of consistently.
"Oh really you think were family," edging closer to the muscular mage "You have no idea, how much that means to me Asta" stroking the lap of the swordsman.
"Im glad you think so Mimosa."
"I know so Asta" she replied
The two mages looked eyes, as they began gazing closely upon one another. Asta held his standard straight face, whereas Mimosa's luscious green eyes were quickly drawn to the swordman. She had an affectionate look about her, edging forward, shaping her mouth for a sweet and delicate kiss; was this her moment she asked herself.
"Mimosa what are you doing."
"Oh ah, Ummm, were you not..." embarrassed look on her face.
"Was I not what Mimosa?" he asked
The flower mages hopes had died as she turned away in disheartenment. "Sorry, no forget about it, it's ok" frustrated look on her face.
"Are you sure? You look kinda gloomy Mimosa."
"No, really, I'm fine, Asta. I'm just happy I got to spend some more time with you."
"I'm happy I got to spend time with you as well" locking eyes again "Well it's getting really late now, guess I better be going, thanks again Mimosa. I'll see you tomorrow."
"No, wait!" grabbing the swordsman by the wrist. Female caster was stunned she dared to stop him, things worsened as her chest tightened and palms began to sweat "Umm... Well... your right it is getting pretty late. So I was thinking you could um..."
"What is it Mimosa?"
"I WAS THINKING YOU COULD SLEEP HERE TONIGHT!" she gasped before covering her mouth in humiliation.
Silence arose in the air, leaving both knights bewildered and perplexed, the one that most surprised was Mimosa. How did she muster up the courage to say such a thing.
"You want me to sleep with you?" asked Asta
"Right..." she replied.
"Why?"
"Oh, umm... well the thing is... I-I've been struggling to sleep recently... an-and I think I would sleep better with someone I love, ah-ah I mean admire. A friend."
The swordsman held a very unsettled face "I know my beds a little small, and I don't want you to sleep on the floor. But you slept in tight spaces before in hatch, you're used to it."
"So you want me to sleep with you because you struggle to get sleep in the first place," asked Asta.
"That's right, so you wouldn't mind... pretty please Asta" clutching her hands "I know this is a bit weird but ill be super grateful."
Anti-magic user sighed before quickly hopping and laying on one side of the bed "Comeon Mimosa, lay down."
The flower mage blushed in joy as she pounced on the bed, snuggling close to the one shes loves. She curled up into her bed, tightly hugging and touching every ounce of Asta's body, this was everything she dreamed of and more.
"You're getting quite handsy there Mimosa."
"Oh so-sorry Asta, I-I couldn't help myself, were just really close and ah... I don't know what happened" she apologised.
"He-hey wh-why don't you get your shirt off" heart beginning to race "You're not gonna go sleep with your uniform, are you?"
"Sorry Mimosa, no can do" he replied.
"Huh, why?" she asked.
"You said, you're struggling to sleep, right?"
"Umm... Yeah."
"Well, I got this," pulling a small bottle of potion "I still have this sleeping potion, it will help you get to sleep."
"Sleeping potion... NO ASTA WAIT"
Before she knew it, the flower mage was struck by a burst of spray. Mimosas body collapsed as her eyes began to get heavy. "Asta why did you..."
"zzz, zzzzzz."
"Wow, this stuff is really powerful," brushing the small bottle of liquid "That should help you get to sleep now Mimosa, ill see you tomorrow. Oh, and thanks again for healing me, you're the greatest" rubbing her soft head.
To Astas credit, he would always be the first one into battle, just like he would be the first one to help out a fellow teammate. He was oblivious, in his eyes, this was just another friendly gesture; he did not find the whole situation strange in the slightest.
Next day
The following day had come, and Asta had found himself training at the indoor gym. For a while he was unaware the Golden Dawn even hosted a such a facility. Likewise, he would always go to the outskirts of the forest doing bodyweight exercises and cutting wood, as his routine. It was only until Yuno told him the hideout occupied such as place.
He was now able to add more variation into his workouts. With added weights and the better environment, he had never been so productive in building his psyche.
"95, 96" due to his explosive strength and stamina Asta was to pick up numbers his fellow squadmates could only dream of. He was currently curling dumbbells and always found reaching new heights with every exercise he did. Some of his squad even questioned if he was human or not.
"97, 98, 99... AAAAHHH"
Even with bursting strength, humans will always have their limits.
Nearly reaching his century, Asta was unfortunately thumped, by a horrific injury. Due to the abnormal amount of curls, and sheer will to never give up, he tore his bicep tendon in the process. He dropped the dumbbell as he collapsed on to the floor, yelling in agonising pain. "AHHHH can someone get a healing mage!"
Fortunately enough for our swordsman, he had members around him who rushed in to help. They picked him up and steadied him on to his feet.
"Dam Asta you pushed yourself too hard this time."
"Can someone get a healer, this is really starting to hurt."
"Sorry, Asta can do" replied a squadmate, "I think all healers are out on missions right now, it's probably best if go to your room; once their back, ill inform them you need assistance."
"But I need to finish my workout," reaching out for dumbbell, before pulling away in pain.
"I told you, Asta, you need to go to your room." stated a member pushing equipment away. If you need help getting to your room, I'm more than happy to help.
"No it's fine," he growled "Ill make my way there, myself. Thanks anyway," making his way out the gym.
Asta didn't mean to snap at his squadmates, he was just immensely upset he was unable to finish his final set. He was so close to a century but was throated by this injury.
He made his way through the corridor holding his arm but suddenly bumped into another comrade.
"Hey, Letollie!"
"Oh, hey, Asta. How you been?" she replied
"I'm doing great, never been better" tightly holding his arm.
"I can tell, mind telling me what's wrong with your arm?" asked the compass mage.
"Oh ah, it's no big deal. I kinda just pulled my muscle while I was working out."
"You always push yourself too hard" shaking her head " come on, follow me."
"Follow you?"
"Yeah, I have some cream that can help with that type of stuff."
"REALLY THAT'S AWESOME," shouted the Anti-magic user.
"But that still means you need to take it easy," said Letollie lightly tapping the head of the swordsman.
The two magic knights made their way into the room of the compass mage. Asta who was ecstatic sat down in joy, he couldn't to his hands on the special cream Letollie had promised.
"There it is I found it. Where did you say the pain was again," opening up a small tub.
"Right, here," said Asta positioning his arm.
The compass mage sat down on his side, gently rubbing cream on the wounded muscle. It only took a few seconds, but the pain Asta felt was lifted in an instant; he could feel the strength in arm and could move a lot more freely.
"Wow! Thanks, Letollie, that stuff really did the trick," flexing his bicep "I owe you one."
"You don't owe me anything Asta. I'm a squadmate remember, I'm always here if you need me."
"No seriously, I really do appreciate it," sparking a fondly smile from the compass mage.
"You know, while I'm at it, is there any other muscles that need healing. Is there anything else feels uncomfortable?"
"Hmmm now that you mention it," pulling off his shirt "my back's been kinda feeling weird lately, you reckon that stuff works on large spaces?"
What was a focused and composed look on the compass mage, turned into a look of shock and embarrassment. She was aware Asta trained and took care of his body, but to see his psyche up close and personal was something else.
Letollie was mesmerised, a drop of sweat poured off her head as her cheeks started to bloom red; she did not see this coming.
"Everything ok?" asked Asta
"Oh, ye-yes right... N-no nothing's wrong, don't worry about it," snapping out of her trance "Wh-where did you say, it feels uncomfortable?"
"Right there, on the side of my back," he pointed out.
Reaching out, her hand began to quiver, she took a deep breath and began spreading the edge swordsmen back, making her way down.
Asta could already feel the effects of the cream; the tension in his muscles started to ease as he felt a lot more mobile.
Unfortunately, same couldn't be said for Letollie as she struggled to keep a straight face. Massaging her squadmates muscular build, proved to be too much for our compass mage.
"Get it together Letollie he's just a teammate. Stop having these weird thoughts!"
A couple of minutes later members of the Golden dawn started flushing in, coming back from the respective mission. One of those members was Mimosa, who had retreated from the dungeon mission.
She came in with tired look face but was quickly approached by a fellow squadmate. "Hey, Mimosa if you're not busy. Asta could really use your help right now; he kinda got himself injured."
What was a look of fatigue, transitioned into a look of purpose and determination. "Where is he!"
"Oh no Mimosa you don't have to worry about it," said another member coming by "I saw him going into Letollie's room, she's probably taking care of him now."
"HES, WHERE!" Gripping the collar of her squadmate "WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME!" casting her teammate aside, storming forward.
"Wow, Asta it's so big, it's so hard too."
"Oh, you're just saying that."
"No, I'm serious, a lot of people would love to have it this size. You want me to take care of it don't you?"
"AHHHHH" lustful sound "Wow Letollie, that feels sooo good."
Mimosa who had her ear against the wall, eavesdropped on the whole conversation, "What on earth are they doing in there!" she squealed.
GET IN! IT DIDNT TAKE ME A MONTH TO GET THE NEXT CHAPTER OUT. Appreciate the support and patience as always guys, the story will have an ending
