Chapter Five: The Night Conversation
After my team and I found our room, we laid down on our bunk beds and fell asleep. After a couple of hours, Louis woke me up.
"Hey, Titania." Louis whispered. "I need to tell you something. I was going to tell you earlier, but I forgot. Will you hear me out?"
"Sure." I moaned. "What is it?"
He pulled down his hood, and on top of his blonde hair were ears.
"I'm a faunus."
I got up and touched his left ear. It twitched.
"What do you think? I'm a fox faunus if you can tell."
"They're adorable. I love them. Why are you only showing me?"
"Thank you, and I just wanted you to see them. I know I could have saved it for the morning, but I just couldn't wait. I'm going to tell the others tomorrow morning before we get our schedules."
""Am I special or something. You could have woke all of us up."
"I know, I should have, but I actually want to ask you something. Something private."
"What is it?"
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Why are you asking?"
"Just a question. Do you?"
"I did."
"What happened? Or is it something you don't want to talk about?"
"No, I'll talk about it. Come up here."
Louis got on top of my bunk bed and we were both swinging our legs over the bed.
"His name was James. We were together for three years. One day, we were out window shopping. He got me a few things and when he was about to bring me home, we heard screaming. We went to go check it out and found out the Grimm were attacking our village. They were killing people, destroying homes. James and I ran as fast as we could, but he slipped and fractured his ankle. I tried picking him up, but he was too heavy. He told me to leave him and save myself. I didn't want to leave him, so I called for help, but nobody came. I told James I was sorry and kissed him. I ran out of the village and far enough to just see black smoke in the distance. I saw nobody else come with me and I figured I was the only one to survive. I never saw my family, friends, or James ever again." I started shedding tears.
Louis grabbed my hand. "I'm so sorry for your loss, Titania. You must have really loved him."
"I did, and I miss him more than anything."
"What was he like?"
"He was sweet, funny, and a very caring person. He would do anything for me. He sacrificed himself for me to escape. He really loved me more than anything in the world."
"I bet he did. You're a beautiful girl with a great personality."
"Louis, did you just…"
He turned his head towards me and kissed me. "Yeah, I did." Louis smiled
I blushed a bright red.
"Night, Titania. Thanks for the talk. See you in the morning." He jumped off my bed.
Louis got into his bed and a few minutes later, he fell asleep. I sat there blankly looking at the wall behind Evelyn and Alistair's bed. I couldn't believe he just kissed me. He doesn't like me, right? We just met! Now that I think about, he was happy to be my partner and he wanted me to be a leader. I think Louis likes me.
