Malleus alter: hey
Azul
Azul alter: yes?
Malleus alter:
Oh thank God I would have killed everyone here if texts didn't work.
Azul alter:
Didn't Lilia-san call you?
Malleus alter:
Yeah but calling is different from texts for me
Azul alter:
I see
...
How's progress on getting you home going?
Malleus alter:
I'm still here I think that answer's that question
Azul alter:
Don't they have magic there?
Malleus alter:
Yeah Lilia is researching a way for me to go home I think. I'd help but Lilia told me that since I don't have magic I don't know what I'm getting into.
This universe's version of you is like how you were before we started dating
Azul alter:
Please rephrase that
Malleus alter:
no
Azul alter:
... Yeah I'll let you win and get my revenge later.
Malleus alter:
No you won't
By the way I got to hold the Azul of this universe in my arms
Azul alter:
Say what??
Malleus alter:
It helped me realize how much I miss you.
Azul alter:
Mal-- it's been like five days
Malleus alter:
Feels like forever
Azul alter:
Dramatic much?
Malleus alter:
No I just really love you
Azul?
Malleus alter seemed depressed.
'I shouldn't have caught Azul earlier. I miss holding him.'
He stared at his hands. 'But I can't just walk up to this world's Azul and carry him. As much as that would make me happy, I don't wanna embarrass him. Nor do I want to spread any more rumors.'
'No doubt people are already saying there's no way i can be a normal human. Just from that alone. They are gonna flip if they see some of the other hidden talents I have...'
"I would like to thank you for catching my fall earlier." Azul's voice brought him back to reality.
"It was nothing I'm used to catching people" he said waving it off 'usually Ace and Deuce' he thought.
"Still I hate to owe a person anything. Is there any favor you'd like to ask--" Azul started, pushing up his glasses.
" come on Azul we don't need any favors, you already know I'm going to do whatever I can to help you--" Malleus alter interrupted but cut himself off as he suddenly realized who he was talking to.
"...! sorry that was a default response" he averted his gaze.
Azul stared at him uncomprehendingly "in any case as I was saying feel free to ask me anything to make up for you helping me in flight class today." He walked off presumably to get his own lunch.
'I cant believe I said that! I slipped into a "automatic" response to Azul's statement! "I hope I don't do that again" he said out loud without realizing.
Malleus looked up not that he had very far to look as it was only Riddle in front of him. Actually it wasn't just Riddle.
Next to him stood some vaguely familiar student who apparently recently got out the infirmary if his black eye was anything to go by. Malleus gave a nod saying Riddle could sit down if he wanted. But he remained standing.
"My freshman underclassmen would like an apology for a supposed offense that apparently happened when you first arrived here,"
Malleus glanced at the boy. He noted his Heartslabyul vest and armband. " A fight..." He put a finger his lips as if trying to think.
"Oh you must be that one who fell after I punched him like one time!" He exclaimed happily and the cafeteria seemed to go quiet.
Lilia approached about to ask what was going on but Malleus alter just smiled. "All right. I apologize for my reckless behavior
"I got suspended from school for according to Idia-- 'being too good at owning bitches'" Malleus alter remarked.
"Watch your mouth there are children around" Lilia scolded.
"Riddle knows I swear," he blinked as Riddle turned pink.
"okay maybe not this Riddle specifically but he's aware I do. And he is more or less used to it." He shrugged.
