"S-Scorpio? Thank you for saving me earlier and I'm sor-" as I try showing my gratitude to Scorpio, he scowls at me.

"Don't ever talk to me again." he says firmly while giving me a death glare and walks away.

That's one scary look. He is in a bad mood.

Oh god...this is my fault.

Dui and Ichthys are standing behind me when I tried to talk to Scorpio. They witnessed the scene.

Scorpio is about to open the door when he suddenly looks back. "Dui, Ichthys, make sure you've done all your works."

"Aye aye sir!" Ichthys respond.

"Of course." Dui respond too.

Scorpio immediately exits after that.

"Wow...I've never seen him in such a bad mood before." Ichthys stare at the door where Scorpio exits.

"Why were you thanking him for, Sakura?" Dui ask.

3 hours ago...

While I'm cleaning the rooftop alone, Scorpio is there napping as usual. I don't understand why would he insist on napping at school while their mansion is far better a napping place. I bet his bedroom looks like a King's room out of a fantasy novel.

Even after three days, I still haven't finish cleaning the rooftop. It's too huge. There are dust everywhere but Scorpio still decides to sleep here. My homeroom teacher also asked me to arrange all the broken chairs, tables and boxes neatly too.

As I open the storage door on the rooftop, the sight of the dusty chairs, tables, boxes and several random stuffs surprises me. I didn't expect it to be this messy and there are too many to arrange. I feel like this is going to take forever. Why is no one helping me? I heard the teacher also asked few students to help me out but they never show up.

I keep the door open so some dust can go out through it. I start with the broken dusty tables, I push them further back since they are arranged in a way that they take too much space in the storage room. The tables are too heavy but I managed to carry them and stack them on the other table. Some tables are not broken, but there are some ugly writings on the table that the teacher decide not to use them again. Some tables are missing legs and I'm not sure how to arrange them but I push them in one corner. Same goes with the chairs.

After rearranging some boxes on a rusty shelf, the storage room looks more spacy now compared to when I first came here. I take the broom right outside the storage room and start sweeping. I'm humming a song while I sweep the floor when suddenly, I could hear a 'creak' sound right on top of me that I stopped humming. I turn to look for the sound and found out the chairs I stacked lose their balance and it might fall on me any second now. I'm frozen on my very spot, shutting my eyes bracing for an impact. After few seconds, there is still no impact.

"What?" I open my eyes slowly.

I see Scorpio standing in between me and the falling chairs. The dusty chairs fall on him instead.

"O-Oh! Sorry! Are you okay?!" I ask panicking.

The chairs are falling on his back and he tried to stand still so the chairs doesn't collapse to the floor completely. I can see Scorpio is struggling to keep standing still. To my surprise, he reach to grab my hand and...

SNAP

Even when he's struggling he still managed to snap his fingers and the chairs are arranging themselves. He was grabbing my hand so that he could use his power. Make sense. I mean, why would he want to hold hands with me in that situation?
