241 Complex (1/2)

Both Loriana and Alvelyn were in the kitchen preparing food, meaning that I became the one to answer the door by default. With a sigh, I forced myself up from the couch, walking over to the doorway and tapped on the dark monitor by the door and navigated to the camera outside. Using the camera's feed, I saw that the visitors were in fact the others. I brought a hand to the door handle and before I opened it, I took a deep breath.

”Took you a good while,” Noah said with a grin on his face.

”We thought we would come by and see how you're doing,” Irina explained.

”How long are you going to make us stand outside?” Noah then asked, complaining from having to stand.

”Fine,” I sighed and stepped to the side, allowing the group of seven to enter as Mura wasn't present.

After everyone had entered and was standing idly in the opening leading to the living room as they awaited my guidance, I shut the door and walked over to them. As I walked past Loyd and Zaksus, I saw that the two of them were staring at the kitchen where Alvelyn and Loriana was preparing food for dinner.

Right... I was reminded of the fact that Zaksus...he has a crush on Loriana. And as for Loyd...

”Are you feeling better?” Luna whispered to me.

She caught me by surprise with that sudden question, causing my heart rate to increase, but I quickly calmed myself as I stared at that smile on her pretty face.

”Yeah,” I answered her. ”No worries.”

”That's good to hear.” Her smile then became even brighter.

After making sure that I was alright, she walked back over to Erith with her arms behind her back in a cheerful and playful manner. My eyes were caught by her cheerful figure as she walked away, staring at her for a moment before I was reminded of the situation and cleared my throat.

”Come on,” I said with my lazy voice, probably looking somewhat cold and slightly annoyed as I started walking towards my bedroom.

”Sorry to bother you,” Irina smiled and greeted Loriana, who looked over and nodded in acknowledgement.

With my in the lead, I walked over to my closed bedroom door, opening it to allow them to enter. They entered my bedroom one by one as I stood and held the door open for them. I watched as each person entered, and when Muria walked past me and into the room, our eyes met for a second. She glanced over in my direction with a somewhat nervous blush on her face as she nodded and continued into the room.

My eyes followed her as she entered, thinking back on that...vision that I saw.

If what I saw was my past life, then...she's my wife?

That idea seemed to burn itself into my mind, lingering about whenever I looked at her, but what finally pulled me away from that thought was the two people that were still lingering outside while the others had entered, I naturally looked over at them with my emotionless gaze.

Loyd seemed to be frozen in time as he blushed and stared at the closed door leading into Alvelyn's bedroom. He must be fantasizing about what could be beyond the sealed entrance. I believe it is normal for a boy to fantasize about the room of his crush if he's that close to it. Also, I don't think Noah's whispers in his ear helped.

”Go for it,” Noah whispered. ”She won't know.”

Damn, where did he learn that one from? Ralus? Is he even really an angel? Because what he's doing fits the image of a devil more.

I frowned when Loyd gulped as if his self-restraint was being challenged by the tempting whispers of an angel and decided that it was time for me to intervene.

”Get in there,” I said to the two of them, successfully breaking the trance Loyd was in.

Loyd blushed and coughed to clear his throat, acting in a dignified manner as if trying to erase the fact that he was caught staring at the closed door leading to his crush's room. Without looking at me, he entered my bedroom. Following behind him was Noah, who was trying his best to suppress his laughter as he giggled.

When Noah entered, I let out a sigh and began to close the door behind me. However, as I turned to face the interior of my bedroom, I saw that Zaksus was staring past me and at the closed door leading to Loriana's room.

You too?

I shook my head and let out a sigh of defeat as I closed the door behind me.

”So this is Alevian's room,” Erith commented as she surveyed her surroundings while standing in the open area in the center of my bedroom. She first glanced over at the bookshelf that I have containing the video game disk cases as well as some books before her eyes were caught by my PC. Her eyes seemed to lit up a bit as she saw my set up as she nodded. ”You have a pretty good set up.”

”Have a seat wherever,” I said to everyone, acknowledging Erith's compliment with a simple nod of my head. I guess my PC would look pretty advance to the average person with its stylish case and all that glowed and alternated colors due to the LED lights.
