What the heck was this kind of question doing in this stack?!
"Lyserg?"
"H-hai?"
"Can you read the question?"
"E-eh?"
Jeanne looked up at him curiously. What's wrong with him?
"Err... sure Jeanne... I mean Jeanne-sama... it says that... umm, well..."
"Yes, Lyserg?"
"T-the question is... is... Err... "
Jeanne smiled, "You can just give it to me." and he did... reluctantly.
He watched anxiously as her eyes widened, and surprise ebbing her features.
"I-it's a very... err... interesting question... I've noticed you seem to be getting all the... umm... fascinating questions..."
"Y-you think so?"
Jeanne flashed him a smile her eyes close benignly, "Yes."
She always looks so good... especially when she smiles... everything seems all right. Like nothing would go wrong... I really would want to spend more time with her... alone.
"The answer is NO... Of course I'm not straight."
Jeanne looked up at him with wide eyes, even Lyserg was surprised, "I-I mean of course not I'm not gay~~~!"
Lyserg cleared his throat, "I was just a little bit confused..." maybe I shouldn't have slammed my head that heard... argh... what's happening to me~~?!
"Lyserg..."
Still blushing, he inclined his head and met her gaze, "... are you sure you're not gay?"
"Eh~~?!"
"I-I was just making sure, and I-I..."
She smiled when she felt the pressure of his hand around hers. The warmth of his very flesh against hers, made her feel very warm and comfortable indeed.
"I'm sorry Lyserg-kun."
"It's okay." He smiled
Chapter Four: In The Arms Of An Angel
"What's the question Jeanne... I mean Jeanne-sama..."
"Umm... well, it's..."
"Yes?"
"... When was your most memorable birthday...?"
Something was wrong. Lyserg swore he saw something flicker in those bright ruby orbs. The usual spark was gone, and she seemed rather down.
"... I don't think this question won't be answered..." something was really wrong. Her dark silver locks fell before her eyes like a curtain, and he had noticed her grip tightening on the piece of white card.
"Jeanne... is there anything wrong? You can tell me..."
"Oh, Lyserg!"
"There's nothing to worry about."
He ran his fingers through her fine tresses, whispering comforting words. He had never seen Jeanne break down and cry. She had never shown her weaknesses... he sighed, he wouldn't have known she experienced a painful past.
Her quiet sniffling continued to penetrate through the stillness, but they have been reduced from the sobs she had been emitting for the past half hour or so. For the short time they have spent together she had poured her heart out to him. He had pulled her closed to him, her head resting against his chest, while her hands circled his waist.
"I'm sorry."
"It's alright. Would you want to rest now?"
To his surprise she shook her head vigorously.
I still want to spend time with Lyserg... I feel safe next to him... I don't want this moment to end. I feel safe... very safe... in the arms of an angel.
"What's the question you got Lyserg?"
She closed her eyes contentedly when he felt his fingers brush against her cheek. She had persuaded him to hold her close.
She giggled silently at the thought, and flushed at the same time. Lyserg would do anything for her... it was such a nice feeling.
"Err... What is your most unforgettable moment?"
She looked up at him and smiled. It would be nice to know.
"Well... I-I..."
He really would like to slam his head against the table... maybe it would clear his head or something, but... maybe he might say something else just like the last time...
Would he admit it? That every single time he had spent with Jeanne had been well kept and remembered... it seemed too much... what would she think...?
"There's quite a lot..."
"I don't mind... just tell me what you like most of them..."
"What I like most...?"
What I like most is having you here next to me...
Lyserg sighed. He had been getting all this thoughts... This game is bad for my health... maybe I shouldn't have played this game...
He sighed for probably the umpteenth time. Now he was lying to himself. He knew he was really enjoying the game... he twirled a lock a Jeanne's silky hair, and smiled thoughtfully. She didn't seem to mind being this close to him... he actually felt a warm feeling in his stomach when she said how much she liked to be next to him...
"Well... I really don't know much about my unforgettable moments, dakedo... I really enjoy spending time with you... err, and the rest of the X – Laws that is..."
Jeanne didn't comment but let out a thoughtful "hmm..."
