"Eve? Eve? Mistress Eve? Eve, can you hear me?" Ophelia called out loudly as she knocked on Eve's door a few times.
"Geez, Eve-" Ophelia was cut off when she opened the door and saw Eve, sound asleep on her desk.
"Eve..." Ophelia pulled out Eve's chair, grabbed Eve, then set her down on her bed.
"Please have a good night's rest, Eve." Ophelia walked back over to the door, bowed, then shut the door quietly.
A few moments later, Add hopped onto the railing, throwing a pair of binoculars in his hand behind him into the air. The binoculars fell downwards, hitting the ground with a loud thud that made Add cover his ears for a split second.
"Mm?" Eve blinked a few times, sat upright, then rubbed her eyelids. She removed her arm to see Add, sitting in his usual spot on her balcony's railings.
"Add, WHAT are you doing here?!" Eve yelled at him.
"Oh, Eve." Add turned his head backwards to look at her.
"Go away, Add, I'm working on a really important invention right now." Eve said, standing up then walking to her desk.
"Say, Eve..." His soft voice echoed in her ears. "What do you think of me?"
Eve looked at him like he was a retard. "What do you mean? I've always the same of you, ever since I first met you." She replied, flipping a pen in her hands. Her own creation.
"Ah, that's what I thought." He simply stated. From her distance, Eve could feel him smirking.
"I have no idea what that means, but I'm going to work now, so leave. You're in the way of my concentration." She said with an irritated tone.
"Eve, what are you making this time?" Add asked with curiousity. Eve looked at him, her cheeks turning a slight shade of raspberry.(Dunno, that just sounds really, really cute)
She waved her hands around her cheeks, slapping and hitting them, then waving them in the air out of frustration. "AHHHHHH! WHY ARE MY CHEEKS GETTING LIKE THIS?!" She screamed frantically, annoyed and angry. She fell off her chair and rolled around on the ground.
Add took this opportunity to walk over to Eve's desk and look at the blueprints that were on her desk, and the secondary design she was drawing at the moment.
"Ferdinand..." He read aloud, his eyes trailing down the items needed to create the servant listed.
"Ah!" Eve realized he was standing at her desk, and she jumped up off the ground and snatched her paper.
"Don't look at it!" She yelled at him, hiding her paper from him.
"A Nasod Servant? That's what Ophelia gave you yesterday?" Add smirked at her.
"Go away..." She said softly.
"Alright..." He closed his eyes, then walked over to the balcony.
He hopped on the railings, then prepared to jump off of them, like he always did.
"See ya later, Eve. I look forward to that new Nasod Servant." He winked at her, then jumped off the railings.
Eve ran over to the balcony and placed her hands on the railings. She looked down, and was satisfied yet sad to see that Add was already gone.
She put her elbows on the railings, then slowly fell down on the balcony's cold ground. She sat in a awkward position, her back pressed up against the railings.
"Add..." She whispered before falling asleep in the cold night, the wind blowing against her metal skin.
Eve walked in her classroom, setting her bag down on her chair, then stretching.
Her eyes flickered over to the door, where Add had just walked in, surrounded by a group of boys. As he walked to his seat, next to Eve, he didn't catch sight of her eyes once.
She sighed to herself, then her attention focused on Aisha, coming in and meeting her at her desk.
"Aisha, I think I like someone. I realized my feelings for him last night." Eve stated.
Aisha looked at her with surprise. "Really? Who?!" She asked with anticipation.
"Him."
Chung walked in the room, his hair styled in the Tactical Trooper do. Aisha stared at him. She looked back to Eve and smiled brightly.
"Hehhh? Chung? You know he likes you back, too." Aisha said, grinning.
"Eh? Really?" Eve asked, all of her attention on Chung's presence.
"Mhmm! So..." Aisha walked over then grabbed Eve's wrist. "Go tell him you like him! Now!" Aisha pushed Eve forward where Chung's seat was.
"A-Aisha..." Eve said, worried. Aisha smiled in response.
"Don't worry, I'm a genius and I know my stuff!" Aisha said cheerfully. "Now, cmon!"
Eve hit Chung's back accidently, and she apologized. "Eve would like a word." Aisha said. Chung looked at her suspiciously, then at Eve. "What is it, Eve?"
"Um... Will you come with me outside for a moment? For privacy." Eve asked, embarassed.
"Oh, alright, I suppose..." Chung said, walking after her as they left the classroom. Aisha gave Eve a thumbs up.
"So, Eve, what do you want to talk about?" Chung asked, once they were in complete isolation.
"Chung, I know this is sudden, but..." Eve started. Chung stared at her.
"Will you...go out with me?" Eve asked, bowing down. Her cheeks went bright red from embarassment.
After a few seconds, Eve looked up to see Chung with an expression probably no one has ever seen. He stared at her with a mix of confusion, courtesy, desire, and shock. His cheeks were a light shade of pink.
"Eve...I...I didn't know you also felt that way about me!" Chung rasped out. Eve looked at him.
"I...Yeah, yeah, I will. I'll be your boyfriend." Chung smiled at her, then took her hands in his.
For some reason, she didn't feel relieved, or any different.
"Thank you." Eve replied.
"N-now, shall we go back to class?" Chung asked, looking into her eyes. She nodded.
They walked back together, holding hands.
"Our first date is tomorrow." Eve said to Aisha. Aisha almost spit out her drink. "WHAT? REALLY?!" Eve nodded.
"Where are you lovebirds going?" Elesis walked over and sat down near Eve's desk.
"Elesis, you heard too?" Aisha asked, smiling.
"Nah, I just overheard your conversation." Elesis replied, sipping a carton of Cherry juice.
"Oh, I see." Eve said with a monotone.
"So, why did you suddenly start going out with him?" Elesis asked.
Eve thought about it for a moment.
"I guess I felt something for him after Add and I met last night." Eve responded.
Aisha let out a little gasp. Elesis just looked at her.
"I don't know why Add started acting weird..." Eve's sad voice continued on. "He never really acted like this..."
"Eve."
Eve focused her gaze on Aisha.
"He's insane. He has no idea how to control his emotions, you know." Aisha replied, her gaze suddenly turning slightly fierce.
"Yes, I suppose you're right." Eve looked down at her hands and twiddled her thumbs.
"Back onto the topic, where are you guys going?" Elesis brought Eve's mind back to the subject of Chung, her first boyfriend.
A boyfriend. Something robots like her would never hope to have.
"Well, first, he's taking me to the movies, and at dinner, he's going to take me to the most expensive resturaunt in Hamel." Aisha and Elesis' eyes widened.
"Wow! That's what you'd expect from the prince of Hamel, huh?" Aisha beamed, then looked over at Elesis.
"I wonder why he attends Feita's Academy, anyways." Elesis closed her eyes and continued drinking her Cherry beverage.
"Elesis, it's the same reason you also attended." Aisha reminded her.
"What? For my brother?" Elesis remarked.
"For friends, yes." Aisha explained.
"I don't know how long we'll be going out." Eve said. Aisha and Elesis looked at her.
"Are you saying you're bound to dump him?" Aisha asked, irritated.
"No, but..." Eve looked over at Add.
Something...is wrong...
"Eve!" At the end of the day, Chung took the initative and walked over to Eve.
"Are you ready to go?" Chung asked her very formally, holding out his hand for her to take.
"Ah, yes." Eve answered, placing her hand upon his.
The shiny bracelets that Code Empress wore was still don upon Eve's wrist. They sparkled as he focused his gaze on them.
"These are beautiful..." He muttered, inspecting the bracelets she wore.
"Thank you." They are a sign of my royalty. - underlined
"I must admit, the movie theater we are going to is quite..." Chung looked up in thought for words. "Rusty." Eve let out a slight giggle.
"Chung, you're very precise, aren't you?" Eve asked as they left the classroom and headed for the stairs to the 1st floor.
"It is how I was raised by my parents." He replied, leading her down the stairs like a gentleman would.
"You also seem very polite and well-mannered by nature." He said to her as they left the school.
"May I ask, where exactly is this, movie theater?" Eve asked, trying her best not to sound creepy.
"It is in Elder town." Chung replied, taking Eve's hand and leading her to a fancy, shiny black Ferrari.
"My driver will assist us." Chung opened the door for Eve and she stepped in and sat down. Chung walked over to the other side of the car and got in, next to Eve.
"Elder town it is." The driver said. In 15 minutes, they reached Elder.
"Oh, thank you." Eve told Chung as he opened the door for her and she stepped out.
"Hello Echo!" Chung called out as he caught sight of Echo, brewing up some potions.
"Chung!" She cried out, running from her giant pot to Chung.
"How are you?" Chung asked. Echo giggled.
"Ah, Eve!" Echo was distracted by Eve moving a slight bit. Eve looked at her.
"Hello, Echo." Eve said.
Echo beamed at her. "Where are you two going on this lovely, sunny day?" She asked with anticipation.
"We're on a date." Chung said, looking back at Eve and smiling at her.
"Yes." Eve added.
"I don't want to spoil your day, so you two have fun, okay?" Echo said, heading back over to her workshop.
Chung looked at her as she walked away, then turned to Eve.
"Shall we go?" He smiled. She grinned.
"I suppose." She replied. He chuckled.
Chung and Eve walked over to a outdoors snack store first, and sat down in a small round table with a parasol covering them from the sun. Eve licked her ice cream cone.
"Eve, what movie would you like to see?" Chung asked her politely. She focused her attention on him.
"Frozen." She replied after a few seconds of thought.
"I also want to see that one." Chung stated. She looked at him.
"What?" He said after staring into her eyes for a few seconds.
"Nothing." She remarked.
Chung shrugged it off and waited patiently for Eve to finish her ice cream. Once she did, he grabbed a napkin and dabbed the small pieces of cone and dripping liquid off of her face. Eve blushed very slightly at the contact.
"Come on, let's go see Frozen." Chung told her. She nodded as he held her hand.
They reached the movie theater in a matter of minutes, and walked in.
"Two tickets for Disney's Frozen." Chung told the cashier as they reached the ticket counter. The cashier handed him two small tickets and took the money from his hands.
Chung guided Eve inside the very dark room, and whispered to her, "Don't lose your step, it's really dark in here." Eve nodded.
They both sat down next to eachother in the middle row of seats. Eve twiddled her thumbs while waiting for the movie to start.
"This movie is supposed to be really good." Chung said, trying to start up a conversation.
"Yes." Was all Eve said.
Chung blushed and sighed to himself. The movie started.
"That movie was amazing." Chung stated as Eve and Chung left the movie theater.
"Yes, it was, wasn't it?" Eve replied.
"Where would you like to go next, Eve? There are still two hours left before it is time for dinner." Chung asked her politely.
"What other sights are there to see in Elder?" Eve turned and spoke to him.
"Not much. Say, Eve, how about we go sight-seeing in Hamel for an hour before dinner starts?" Chung suggested. Eve thought about it then spoke.
Chung called up his driver and they drove to Hamel. It took an hour to get there, so that meant one hour was crossed off.
"Eve, I'd like to show you the beautiful Ancient Waterway's grand waterfall." Chung said to her, sticking his hand out. She took it and walked with him to the sight.
As they reached their destination, it seemed there were lots of others also sight-seeing.
"This place is one of the most popular places to see in Hamel. Beautiful, isn't it?" Chung explained.
Eve looked over the railings that held all the people back from going over the edge. Her eyes were filled with the sight of the streaming crystal clear water that flowed, along with golden walls, a waterfall that filled the water's bottom, along with silver statues of Light Tarvanash along the lines of the golden, shiny walls.
"Oh, my, how beautiful!" A girl with long, black curly twintails fanned herself. She was clad in a black dress with lace seperating into two sections of her top, topped with a red tie. Her lacy bottom dragged down to her knees. Her red heels seemed to really bring out the outfit she was wearing, along with her black tights.
To top it all off, she was wearing quite an adorable maid-like headdress.
"Hmmm?" Her gaze caught Chung's. He stared at her and she returned it with no hesitation.
"Oh, it's the prince!" She exclaimed, running over and quickly firing up a conversation with Chung. "I'm so sorry, prince, I was being quite rude..."
"Ah, no, it's my fault. May I ask for your name?" Chung bent down and held her hand in his. She brought her free hand up to her cheek.
"My name is Celestia Ludenberg." She replied.
"I see. When I am free, I will most likely try my best to meet you again. As of right now, I am busy with my beloved one." He said, standing up again and smiling at Celes.
"Oh my, prince, I see. I will see you some other day, I suppose?" She waved and smiled at him as she walked away.
A/N: Yes, I know that she is dead...
Chung took out his golden pocket watch and flipped it over, inspected it, then flipped it closed. He took a look at Eve.
"Dinner begins soon. May I ask for you to come with me?" Chung asked formally. Eve let out a small smile. "Yes." She replied.
Chung lead her to a extremely oversized building, hardly believable to be a resturaunt. The outside was covered silk tapestries, plasma entrance signs, a menu framed in gold, and a bright red sign that read "OPEN".
"Ladies first." Chung said as he let Eve walk in before him. As Eve entered, she saw the most dazzling sight in her life.
Shiny, marble tiles, a short marble wall that held rose bushes. The wall was covered with pictures of famous people from Hamel. All the tables were very large, spaced out between other tables. On the tables were silver holders that carried small salt and pepper bottles, and more additions, such as parmesean cheese, bowls of cherries, and salad dressings.
Eve stared in awe, looking around everywhere, as Chung flicked the back of her head. Her eyes went wide.
Don't do that. Only Add can do that.
She turned around so fast she wasn't even sure how she did it. She held her hand in the air, all her fingers pressed together, and Chung stared in fear at her. It took her a second to realize her position, before she let her arm fall down to her side.
"Sorry." She aplogized.
"Ah, it's alright. I should be sorry." Chung was still recovering, but forgave her right away.
Chung walked forward a few steps before someone shouted, "Prince!" Immediatly, everyone turned their heads, then bowed to Chung. Chung held his hands in front of him in embarassment.
"Please, you don't have to do that..." He said sheepishly. The manager of the store walked forward and shook his hand.
"It's an honor to have you here at this resturaunt, Prince Chung." His eyes drifted away from Chung to Eve. "Who might this stunning lady be?"
"This is who I am going out with." Chung smiled. Eve tried her best to smile at the manager in response. He nodded in approval.
"I recommend the V.I.P table just for you, Prince Chung. Would you like me to guide you there?" The manager asked very politely. Chung responded, "Yes, that will do."
The manager led them to a large table outside, where the dark night sky shone unto them. Chung looked up at the moon in awe.
The manager pulled out a chair for Chung right after Chung had pulled one out for Eve. "Thank you." Chung said as he sat down.
"I will be your waiter today. What would you like?" The manager asked the two, handing them menus.
"Eve, what will you be getting?" Chung looked up from his menu to Eve. Eve dragged her eyes down to the menu.
"The Shrimp Scampi with Linguine, please." Eve said, then closing her menu shut.
Chung looked up to the manager and said, "I'll have the same, but instead of Linguine, I will take some herbs with carrots."
"Understood. I will be back as soon as I can." The manager replied. He hurried out of the night back into the restaurant.
Chung and Eve's eyes met. After a few seconds, he turned away, flustered and blushing.
"Eve, I'm so happy." He said out loud. She made a little noise in question to his statement.
"I'm so happy being with you, like this." He said. She just looked at him.
"Thank you for saying such nice things about me." Was all she said.
A few seconds later, the manager appeared with two plates, and set them down on the table, one on Eve's side, and one on Chung's.
"Thank you very much." Chung said.
"Please enjoy your meal." The manager said, then left Eve and Chung to eat.
"Jal meok kket sseum ni da." Chung muttered under his breath.
"What does that mean?" Eve said after swallowing her first bite.
"It means "Bon Appetit" in korean." Chung smiled at her.
After finishing their meals, they skipped dessert and left the restaurant after receiving many thanks and compliments.
"Eve..." Chung didn't look at her as he continued walking forward after they left the restaurant.
"What?" She asked.
"Please, come with me." He spoke.
"Alright." She replied.
He lead her to Hamel's shopping square. Right in the middle of the town was a huge waterfall, with edges that people could sit down on.
Chung sat down and beckoned Eve to come sit with him. She accepted his request.
"Eve..." He looked into her eyes. She stared back.
"I...really like you. A lot." He said dreamily.
"Ok." She replied.
"Eve..."
What's going to happen now?
"Eve..." Slowly, Chung leaned in. Eve scooted back a slight bit in fear as her eyes widened.
He chanted her name over and over again as he leaned in to kiss her.
As he was inches away from her face, she jumped up swiftly and off the fountain's sitting edge.
"Chung..." She said his name with a broken voice. Her hand pressed against her chest shakily.
"Chung...I'm...I'm sorry!" She placed her head down and apologized. Chung stared at her in shock.
She got up and started running away.
I have to tell him!
Farther and farther away, she ditched Chung.
I have to tell him right away!
Through the streets she ran, her dress becoming due with dirt and getting slightly torn at the edges. She ran and ran without hesitation.
He needs to know!
She crossed Velder in a matter of minutes, her motivation was keeping her from stopping.
She was desperate to get back to Feita, to her friends, and to someone...
A certain someone...
Add, Add, Add!
She was panting now, sweat trickling down her forehead. She didn't stop, she would never stop. This was the best time to tell him, for she finally realized her own feelings.
Meanwhile...
Add was frustrated with hearing the news about Eve's date with Chung. To take it off his mind, he went to the nearest town basketball court and shot some hoops.
He grabbed the ball, lifted it into the air, then let it fly. The ball bounced off the rim of the hoop, and onto the ground. He jogged over and picked it up.
He stood in the same position once again, and tried another shot. It ended up just like the other.
He was about to give up in irritation, but he went over to the ball and picked it up.
"I'll just shoot one more..." He muttered, then pushed the ball into the air. As it flew slowly, it landed once more onto the rims, making Add miss. "Tch..." He said.
A flash of light appeared before Add's eyes, and they widened. Standing there, smashing the ball in, was Eve. She was held in the air by her drones, Moby and Remy. Her dress was torn, all dirty covered with soot, but she didn't seem to mind. As the ball fell to the ground, she turned to Add and mustered up the best smile she could.
"Add!" She shouted his name in glee as she jumped off of her drones and soared through the air, hitting Add's chest. He fell on his back painfully, but rubbed his head and opened his eyes. Laying on top of him was Eve.
"Eve..." He relished at the sight of her.
"Add, I'm sorry, I never realized! I'm so stupid!" She got off of his chest and sat up. He also sat up, facing her.
"Add, I..." She was silenced as he leaned in and softly placed his lips on hers. Her eyes widened in surprise.
He kept the kiss going for a while, before letting go with a gentle smile directed at her. She stared at him.
"Eve, I love you." Was all he said.
Real tears, real ones, formed at the base of her eyes. He stared, thunderstruck.
"Eve, are you crying?" He asked, scared that he hurt her. She rubbed her eyes in fast motion, trying to erase the tears were quickly streaming down her face.
"I don't know why, but I'm crying, and at the same time, I'm so happy. I'm so happy, Add." She removed her hands from her face and smiled at him the brightest she could.
He smiled back the brightest he could. They stared at eachother's eyes, both sitting on the ground on a basketball court. Add opened his mouth to say something, but Eve pounced on him.
"Oi, Eve! Eve!" He shouted.
"I'm glad. So glad." Was all she said.
He stroked her hair as she held onto him.
"I'll make it all up to you."
She put her head up and stared at him, then smiled.
"I'm sure you will."
Responses to reviews:
asdfg: No, there will be no lemons in this story. I dislike smut.
The guy with the chung profile: Please, go away. I don't need you criticizing my story and pointing out where I'm going "wrong". I can write my story fine by myself. By the way, in case you haven't noticed, Add is insane and it is very likely that he will be saying things that he will most likely regret in the future.
Next chapter: All about Elesis!
Elesis comes out in TW tomorrow. I'm so excited to play her! (Going to make a Saber Knight first!)
Also, Little Devil!
