Is love a blessing or a curse?

Your perfect just the way you are (Cylou)

Cyno was currently out for lunch with Tighnari, Alaitham and Kaveh but he wasn't really paying attention to the conversation. He was too busy thinking about Nilou. Ever since the hot springs things between them have been interesting to say the least and he knew why....

"Cyno, are you even listening?" Kaveh asked making Cyno snap out of his daze

"Sorry....what were you saying?"

"Dude, what's with you lately? Your zoning out all the time" Alaitham said concerned

"It's....well-!" Cyno ducked under the table making the three boys confused but then they heard a very familiar voice

"Can I get a hot mocha to go please?" Nilou asked as she paid for her drink and sat down. She didn't seem to notice the boys and they told Cyno he could come out from the table

"Why are you hiding from Nilou? I thought you two were friends?" Kaveh asked. "Oh sweet clueless Kaveh" Alaitham said, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "If only you know what a huge crush he has on Nilou"

"You like Nilou!?" Kaveh exclaimed a little too loud. Cyno face palmed as Nilou stood up and walked over to their table

"Hey boys!" Nilou said with a smile

"Hey Nilou" they all said but Cyno just stayed silent

"Cyno don't you wanna say hi to Nilou?" Tighnari asked with a smirk as he elbowed his friend

"H-hey Nilou..."

"H-hi..."

"Order ready for Nilou"

"Oh thats me, I'll see you all at school" Nilou then left and everyone turned to Cyno and shook their heads

"What's that look for!?"

"I didn't think you of all people would be shy...." Alaitham said bluntly

"I'm not shy! It's just awkward because of what happened at the hot springs!" Cyno covered his mouth instantly but it was too late. Tighnari's jaw was practically on the floor, Alaitham was frozen in shock and Kaveh's drink spilled all over the table due to him dropping it from his hand

"So something did happen!" the three exclaimed, making Cyno bang his head on the table in defeat. He really needed to work on keeping his mouth shut

"Ok fine! Something did happen and something after that....and more stuff after that....."

"What are you two? Friends with benefits?" Alaitham said as him Tighnari and Kaveh laughed but stopped when Cyno wasn't laughing

"Don't tell me...." Tighnari sighed as Cyno nodded with a nervous chuckle

"Well don't just sit there like an idiot, tell us what happened" Alaitham said, making Cyno turn bright red.

"Fine but let's go to my house"

Alaitham drove to Cyno's house. Once they entered they were greeted by candace

"Hey boys, doing some homework?"

"Yea and some other stuff so don't bother us" Cyno said as he and his friends went to his room

"Are you finally going to tell us?" Tighnari asked as him and the other two stood while Cyno sat on his bed

"Fine....just so you know you asked for this"

At the hot springs:

Cyno was already in the hot tub waiting for Nilou, He was wearing shorts not wanting to make Nilou more uncomfortable then she probably already was....
