Black hats pov~

I watch as my scientist nervously speed walks out of the room.

A strange reaction,
But at least he was finally listing to me.
He seems to be extra jumpy around me since yesterday's mishap,
Maybe he's just stressed out?
But isn't he always?
I sigh,
After all that effort I made to patch him up, you think he would be more comfortable around me.

I suppose snapping at him doesn't help either.
But i, I still don't know whats wrong with me,
But i should stop taking it out on him.
But, it is his job?
But I am the one who told him not to worry about it?
Ughhhhhh.
I'm getting no where fighting myself on this,
I suppose I'll keep letting it play out.
Realizing I've just been standing in the lab alone for a while now,
I swiftly poof into my office

As soon as I'm in my office, i feel myself growing more irritable again.
I've always been on the easily irritated side,
But lately it's almost unbearable.
I just wish I knew what the source of it was so i could crush it like i always do.
I take a deep breath, and sit down.

I don't know why, but my mind already starts drifting twords thoughts of flug.
I swear, ever since I found him unconscious in his lab, i can't stop worrying about him.
I feel like i just need to be near him,
To make sure he's okay.
I already miss him-
I catch myself.
Bleh, ew. What's wrong with me?!?
If i heard those words come from anyone else i would've ended them before they could finish.
So why am I thinking such filth?

I think back to what I said
"If anyone else said those words"
Without warning, my mind starts running,
Thinking of someone saying that about flug,
Wanting to protect him, be near him, touch him.
The thought of anyone else saying that about flug fills me with genuine rage.
Without thinking i strike the nearest object,
The poor desk lamp takes the blunt of the attack, shuttering before it had the chance to hit the wall.
The lamp shade bent to hell, bounces off the wall and hits the ground.
Oops...

I take a deep breath, a bit embarrassed that i acted out over something so stupid.
With a snap of my fingers the lamp repairs it self and appears back on my desk.
I take one more deep breath, take off my overcoat and drape it over my chair, then sit down.

I admit, i might've overreacted.
However, i do feel a bit better now.
I just need a distraction,
I look over at my desk drawer.
I suppose i could continue reading that good forsaken book.
I took it away from demencia when she was reading it instead of working,
It was some sappy romance novel that i usually would never touch.
But, for some reason, it piqued my interest?
It was about some knight with a hidden identity, appointment to some princess,
y'know the usual.
But what caught my attention, was that the knight, actually betrays her for the bad guy.
The drama~
Honestly, i just love a good story of betrayal.

I hesitantly pull the book out of its hiding spot, and quietly shut the draw.
I find my spot, and continue where i left off.

I sit there and read for a minute, now it's getting good~

But to my surprise, and horror, it seems the villain is catching feeling for the knight?!
I want to stop reading this filth, but i can't put it down...
The villain goes into detail about how he's falling for him.
He's always feeling irritable without him around, always wanting to touch his knights hands and face, always missing him when he's gone, wanting to protect him...

Wait a damn minute...

I feel my face grow warm,
You don't think...

No,no,no.
I shake my head, trying to get the foul thoughts out of my mind.
I quickly close the book, unable to read another word.
