Within minutes of his thoughts trailing back, his cheek suddenly felt this calming warmth. It was hard for him not to nuzzle into the warmth that was provided. When he looked up and the words Sage spoke remind him of the words that the Prince had once spoken to him on the day they first met. Starting to form knots in his throat he felt like crying, but the very seconds he saw a girl with blue hair and familiar green eyes, his heart couldn't help but feel a flutter that he hasn't felt in a long time. Feeling their eyes met in that moment, it made Chai want to scream out in joy the moment Sage retreated his hand. This was a feeling he could never forget, but for some reason he couldn't really place who she was. Yet, with all his heart, he believed that he knew her.
Too soon, too very soon, he was being pulled away by the others into the school, losing her into the sea of people. His heart couldn't help but race like a humming bird's. He wanted to find her again, no, he really had to find her again. It almost felt like it was a life or death situation and Chai started to become restless.
When they stopped they were near their classrooms, he couldn't help but tune the others out, but he didn't realize how he looked, which was head down, teeth nibbling his knuckle as he stood in a thinking pose. He almost looked angry but wasn't.
"Shall we go, Chai?" Sage's hand was extended to Chai. He hadn't realized the others had already started to leave, just barely catching a glimpse of Asah waving bye. Biting his lip he nodded and nearly forgot how he felt a moment ago. Taking Sage's hand and letting him lead the way to their classroom. Missing a pause that Sage took, he bumped right into his arm, that was when he felt a sharp pain in his elbow from where the teacher had yanked him, yet was took scared to lift his sleeve to check it. Not wanting to cause more problems he tried to ignore it by biting his lip. The eyes he felt on him caused him to turn bright red. He had nearly forgotten how it felt to be stared at like that.
Chai wasn't like the others, he didn't really receive gifts from girls unless it was a few chocolates here and there. No for Chai, it was the boys he received love letters and gifts from. Even the straight boys like Chai.
"Thank you..." He said shyly and quickly followed right behind Sage, using him as a shield and then taking his seat right next to him in the far back corner. Managing to slide only the sweets into his book bag and the letters into his desk, trying not to use his arm with the bad elbow. Then started to whisper so only Sage could hear it. "My heart won't stop pounding... He let his fingers poke his other fingers as his thumbs tried to cover the redness to his face. His smile was loving and full of warmth, he couldn't help it.
Before he could explain himself, the teacher went on with the class.
