Partners In Crime(Dalador/Aladarius)[The Owl House]

Chapter 13

"No." I answered.

I was about to kiss him when the hideout door opened and a person rushed in dragging another behind them.

"Raine, no one'll be here!" Eda said, wrapping her arms over Raine's shoulders.

"Um...Eda?" Raine said, noticing Alador and I are here too.

"What?" Eda asked then looked over.

I let go of Alador and Eda let go of Raine. The four of us just kind of stared at each other for what felt like an eternity.

"Well, this is awkward." I said.

"Just a lot." Eda said.

"If we agree not to tell anyone we saw that, you agree never to tell anyone you saw this?" Raine suggested.

"Yeah. That's probably a good idea." Alador said.

{The Next Day}

Eber's been laughing all day.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

He just kept snickering.

"He's still laughing?" Raine asked.

"Yeah, and I don't know why." I said.

Eber started trying to say what he was laughing about but couldn't.

"What could possibly be that funny?" Porter asked.

"Nothing I know of." Eda said. "I've tried to get people to laugh this long, it never works."

Finally Eber got out what he was trying to say.

"Oh, shit. He followed me last night." Raine kind of blurted out then covered their mouth.

"He what now?" Eda asked.

Alador immediately blushed.

"What the fuck is going on?" Lilith asked.

"I'm just gonna go to class." Alador said.

"Yeah, same here." Eda said.

Raine and I nodded. We ran off. Eber continued to laugh behind us.

"What the hell was that about?" Porter asked.

{A Little Bit Later}

Alador panted as we stopped in the classroom.

"Sit down before you fall over." I told him.

He nodded and sat at our desk. I sat next to him.

"Are you okay?" I asked as Alador caught his breath.

"Yeah...I just...don't have a high endurance. That was more...running than I usually do." He answered.

"Maybe you should try to train for that." I noted.

He wrinkled his nose and shook his head.

"Alright." I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not athletic." He told me.

"But you're so good at duels." I teased.

"That's not athleticism. That's strategy." He rolled his eyes. "And usually duels don't involve running."

"I know I just love teasing you." I told him.

I ruffled his hair.

"Hey!" He laughed. "Stop it! Leave my hair alone!"

"Never. I will never leave your hair alone." I stated. "It's cute when you get all mad. Your face goes completely red."

"I'm not cute." He protested.
