"So Letollie I wanted to say something that's been bothering me."
"What is it, Asta? You know you can tell me anything right."
"Sorry for you know, pissing you off back there."
The compass mage laughed as she nudged closer to the Anti-magic user "Oh don't worry about that Asta, stuff like this always happens. Believe me, you're not the only to have an argument with Klaus."
"Not surprised Klaus can be a real jerk sometimes," he joked.
"The most important thing is to remember now is to make up. Whenever there's a conflict, whenever there's an issue between squamates, it's crucial to always resolve the situation."
"I understand Letollie."
"I know you do" replied the compass mage rubbing the swordsman's head "While we're on this subject, have you made up with Klaus by any chance?"
"No," replied Asta scratching the back of his head "We still haven't made up, I'm still mad at him, just like he's mad at me. I didn't wanna fight its just... Ahhhh! It annoys me just thinking about" crossing his arms.
"I'm serious Asta, even if it's not your fault, at the very least don't make things worse. I don't want you falling out, or getting into fights with anyone. Well, whatever the case, be sure to try and resolve the situation with him we can't have you two fighting again."
"I agree, ill try to do better Letollie I promise," flexing his arm "I still can't get over this cream you have, it does wonder's, where did you get it from?"
"Oh this," closing the small tub "I got it from the Blackmarket, they sell a lot good stuff for so cheap."
"You go to the Black Market!"
"Hey Shut up, keep your voice down, I don't like people knowing someone like me goes there."
"My lips are sealed" laughed the Anti-magic-user.
"Asta I didn't do your left arm, you want me to do that as well?"
"Yeah, go for it, might as well," he replied.
Letollie positioned herself as she began rubbing the second arm of the swordsman. It took a few minutes, but the compass mage was finally able to recompose herself in such an embarrassing moment. She admired Asta, she applauded his commitment and effort to the cause. He was nothing short of magic knight she told herself. However, despite these attractions, Letollie never recognised him as a man she could spend her life with. Not a soul mate, but a close friend, and a squadmate she could rely upon.
"Wow, Asta it's so big, it's so hard too," stroking the swordsman's muscular arm.
"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."
"I'm glad you like it," she rubbed.
After a couple minutes of intense but relaxing massaging the Anti-magic user was finally ready to depart. Flexing and stretching his muscles, he never felt so mobile; he was immensely thankful.
"Thanks a million, Letollie, I owe you one."
"Always here when you need me Asta" she smiled.
"No, I'm serious, ill pay you back for this, I swear."
The swordsman followed with a grin as he made his way to the front door. However, what was behind was a slight shock...
"Oh, hey, Mimosa... What are you doing here?"
"OH ASTA HEY," said the flower mage frantically waving her palms "I didn't see you there, how you been?"
"I'm good," said Asta with a cringed look on his face.
"Th-that's wonderful to hear," she replied.
"Mimosa were you eavesdropping on us?" said Letollie as she popped up behind the Anti-magic user
"What no, I wasn't eavesdropping on you. I-I was just passing by, and Asta opened the door that's all."
Mimosa held a fake smile and was stilled into the ground. Her legs felt heavy, sweat started to drip off her delicate forehead.
"Well if that's the case, then I guess ill be on my way" sparking a calmer look from the flower-mage "Ill see you guys later, bye Letollie, bye Mimosa."
Suddenly a strong gust wind appeared throwing the mages off balance.
"Asta, get your arse on top here, we have a dungeon mission."
"YUNO!" yelled Asta with a smile on his face
"Come on, it's been a while since me and you, went on one of these."
Not a second wasted the Anti-magic user hopped on to Yuno's swift white hawk and held on tight. "Bye guys, ill see you soon." The pair sored through the corridor, passing fellow comrades and eventually making their way out the hideout. Asta was thrilled he got a mission with his foster brother, as Yuno stated it had been a while since the pair crossed paths on an assignment. However, what was most alarming was the immense speed the swift white hawk was travelling. Didn't take a while for our swordsman to realise Yuno had gotten stronger, Asta knew he had to do the same; he had a determined look on his face.
Back with Mimosa and Letollie, the pair stood firm eying one another. The compass mage not buying the previous story stood firm, whereas the flower mage had to uncover in the room.
"So you gonna tell me what's up? Why were you eavesdropping on me, and Asta?"
"What are you talking about? I wasn't eavesdropping on you" she growled.
"Don't lie to me Mimosa, I could sense your presence behind that door. If you said you were passing by why we're you standing behind the door."
The flower-mage was found out, and there was no going back, she crossed her arms with a frustrated look on her face. "JUST ADMIT MIMOSA!"
"ALRIGHT FINE WAS EVASDROPPING ON YOU!"
"Wh-why Mimosa," said Letollie with a disappointed look on her face "You know that's a violation of privacy. Just because you're my friend doesn't give you the right to listen to my conversations."
"Conversations? Was that all you guys were having?" sparking a bewildered look on the compass mage.
"It sounded like you guys were having more than just conversations."
"Just what are you implying Mimosa."
Mimosa gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, she couldn't hold back anymore "WHY WERE YOU SEDUCING ASTA IN YOUR ROOM!"
The compass mage was caught off completely, what was Mimosa thinking she told herself "Se-Seducing what are you talking about?"
"Don't lie to me Letollie, I heard everything in your room. Saying how big and hard it is. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING HITTING ON ASTA LIKE THAT!"
"Ewww gross Mimosa, how could think something so lewd," embarrassed look on her face "You got the wrong idea."
"Not to mention those lustful sounds, I bet you enjoyed it, didn't you?"
Letollie face began to blush uncontrollably, being such as respectful and ignified women the thoughts of forcing herself on another squadmate, was simply out of the question.
"You got it all wrong Mimosa that's not what happened at all. I did ask Asta to come into my room, but it's not what you think! Asta is a squadmate and close friend, I would never force myself on him."
"Is that all he is to?! A close friend!"
"If you allow me to explain, I can tell you what happened?"
"Then do it!"
Tension started to rise as the two mages stood toe to toe on one another. Both females held composed look, glaring at each other's throats.
"Look what happened was, Asta, injured himself, while he was at the gym. He was obliviously looking for treatment, that's why I led to my room; to treat his muscle. Also about me sayings how big and hard it is, I was referring to his bicep. I didn't expect him to take his shirt off as he did, I don't know, I just felt I had to compliment his body," face beginning to bloom "but that's beside the point, I wasn't doing anything weird believe me."
Took a few seconds but the flower mage released a sigh of relief. Angry that Asta was involving himself in naughty acts, that was simply proved not the case. She was embarrassed, she put her hands behind back, as she turned her head away. Seeing the look in Letollies eyes and her calm deminer, Mimosa knew she was telling the truth; she was getting all upset for nothing.
"Oh ah, re-really that's what happened?"
"Yes Mimosa, that's what I've been trying to explain to you" replied the compass mage.
She now had regrets charging in as she did, she let her emotions get the best of her and found herself in this uncomfortable situation.
"So-so nothings going on between you guys?"
Letollie grinned as she wrapped her arms around the flower mage; giving her a gentle hug. She didn't want to say, but it was clear what was going on. "You like Asta, don't you Mimosa?"
Mimosa's cheeks bloomed red.
"Well, Ummm... Yeah, I do. I don't just like him, I love him in fact. That's why I was so angry when I found he was in your room, I didn't know what to think," embracing herself.
"Don't worry Mimosa, I'm not gonna get in between you and your man. Asta is a cute guy and all, but he's really not my type."
"I'm relieved you said that Letollie, that makes me feel a lot better. Sorry for acting so stupid."
"You're not stupid, you're just in love Mimosa," she laughed "But, its no harm in easing your temper, I thought I was talking to a completely different person."
"Yeah I totally let my go there, didn't I" she laughed.
"So have you confessed with to him yet," asked the compass mage.
"No," replied Mimosa.
"Why not?!"
"Well I tried to, but things just got in the way. Before I was too nervous to even talk to him, but even after I gained some confidence, it just never happened for me."
"Well, in that case, I have an idea" catching the flower mages attention "You know there's a harvest festival coming up in the next couple of days right. Why don't you take Asta on a date over there."
Mimosa assumed with Letollies request, but still have doubts. "That does sound like fun, but what's that going to do? Even I take him there, he'll probably just get distracted by all the festive activities."
"You didn't let me finish Mimosa," said Letollie pulling two paper cards "Take these."
"What is it?"
"Their reservations, for fancy in a restaurant in the clover kingdom."
The flower mage took a quick glance before her eyes began to widen. "Letollie, this place is amazing, I heard it takes weeks to get a reservation there, how did you manage?"
"Well, let's just say I made a few deals, recently" she grinned.
Mimosa snatched the two cards and began spinning around in delight, picturing herself on a romantic date with Asta by her side. She had a big grin on her face, and her mood was lifted drastically. "OH MY GOD THANK YOU MUCH LETOLLIE. THIS IS WHAT I NEED" jumping in joy.
"Anytime Mimosa"
"I owe everything, thank you so much! With this, I can set the scene perfectly, and I can finally confess to Asta."
"Woah slow down Mimosa, no need to get so dramatic all of a sudden."
"Shut up," pouted the flower mage "You don't understand, this means everything to me. If I cant confess this time, I don't know when I will. Everything has to be perfect."
"Good Luck"
The next day had come, and Mimosa was already up, as fresh as a daisy. She quickly combed her hair, got dressed and hastily raced towards Asta's door. Hand shacking in front, the flower mage wanted to get this activity off her chest as quickly as possible.
*Knock, Knock*
"Oh ah, go-good morning Asta. Did you have good sleep," asked Mimosa.
"Hey, Mimosa, you're a little early today. Breakfast isn't in another hour."
"Oh ah, never mind that, I just came here to ask you something. Ca-Can I make a request," she asked.
"Sure, lay it on me" yawned Asta.
"Well, next week is the harvest festival, and I was just wondering... Well if you're not busy," facing starting to blush "I was wondering you'd be happy to go out with me at the harvest festival."
A moment of silence stood, as the two mages began glaring at each other. Asta was mostly silent, with a perplexed stair, whereas Mimosa stood firm with a hint of sweat dripping down her forehead. It was a brave act, what she had done; this was the first time she has done anything like this, she waited anxiously in anticipation.
"Sure, I can go with you, Mimosa."
"REALLY!" yelled Mimosa with a smile her face.
"Yeah, of course, the harvest festival does sound like fun. I was actually going to visit the Black Bulls on that day, but the festival doesn't come around often. I can go some other time."
"You don't know how much that means to me, I really appreciate that," she said fondly.
"No problem" grinned the swordsman "It's the least I can do for you healing me, the other. I can make time for you Mimosa."
"That's wonderful to hear thank you much Asta" jumping and huggling the Anti-magic user.
The flower mage hugged Asta fondly as she was overtaken by the thought of a perfect day. Being alone with Asta on a romantic night, having fun at the festival and finishing it off with a lovely dinner, things couldn't go any better.
"Umm... Mimosa you're hugging me too tight."
"Oh sorry" releasing her tight grip "I didn't know I was hugging you tight" scratching the back of her.
The flower mage held her hands behind her back as she began gazingly tenderly at the swordsman. "I'm really excited, this is going to be so much fun, just me and you."
"I look forward to it as well Mimosa, I cant wait."
