The Shadow Connection: Meeting of Opposites

Chap 6: "Arrangements and Greek mythology?"

[Author-Sama: The image of the chapter 😂. If you could help me, please tell me if you see an error and I will fix it.]

I woke up two and a half hours before school start time. The sun barely peeked through the window, and the room was enveloped in a soft gloom.

What had happened last night? The situation was strange, uncomfortable, and he honestly wasn't sure how to approach it.

I tossed and turned in bed, unable to close my eyes and leave the thoughts flitting in my head behind.

It was as if a cloud of unease had settled in my mind, and I couldn't shake it. The thought of talking to Fuka before school crossed my mind, but I laughed at myself. Was I really being that exaggerated?

I decided to try to sleep again, resting my head on the pillow. However, before I drifted off into sleep, my phone beeped, signaling the arrival of a message.

I lifted my head from the pillow and asked myself;

- "Who will it be at this time?"

I picked up the phone and, to my surprise, saw that it was a message from Fuka. Was she going through the same thing as me, unable to fall asleep? I dove into the chat, curious to know what she wanted.

["Are you awake?"] (Fuka)

[" Yes, I had gotten up really early"] (Cid)

["Same case here"] (Fuka)

The conversation was suspended, as if we were both waiting for the other to take the next step.

What should I say? How should I address the strange tension that had lingered since the night before?

I decided to take the first step.

["Do you have time to talk? Before going to class"] (Cid)

I saw that Fuka took a while to respond. The "writing..." bubble appeared and disappeared, as if she was reconsidering her words.

["Yes, sure, but... Where?"] (Fuka)

Where could we have this conversation? Suddenly, an idea came to my mind, it may be a pretty stupid idea, but I feel like it has to be this very place, where everything became weird.

["Could we talk about it in my room?"] (Cid)

I saw the "typing..." indicator appear again. Were you thinking about how to respond?

["Yeah, sure"] (Fuka)

-Third person point of view-

Morning fell on the academy, and Fuka, determined to clear things up with Cid after the strange scene the previous day, headed towards the door of her room.

Anticipation filled the air, and with each step, he could think of a thousand ways this conversation could go wrong.

Fuka knocked lightly on the door, and an indifferent voice responded from inside.

- Who is it?

-It's me, Fuka.

The door opened, and Fuka entered, finding the atmosphere tense that could be cut with a knife. Cid, with his carefree attitude, was sitting at his desk.

- Hello. - Fuka greeted, trying to sound casual, but the discomfort was evident in his voice.

- What's happening? - Cid looked at her without much interest.
