Francis: Something is different between you two.
I jolted in my chair, eyes flitting between him and Yao.
Reader: Whatever do you mean?
Feliciano: Aw, Bella is terrible at lying.
Reader: I-I'm not lying!
Arthur: You're right, there is definitely something different about them.
Arthur: Tell me love, did he suck your blood again?
Reader: W-what?
Francis: No, that's not quite it.
He mused.
Francis: It's almost as if they're ...friendly.
Feliciano: Haha! How funny you are.
Francis: I mean it, no joke.
True, some things have changed.
I've gotten to know him on a deeper, personal level.
I looked over for Yao's response to see his ears tinged light pink.
!
I felt my own face heat up, looking away.
Feliciano: Ooh, there definitely IS something going on!
Ludwig: Come now, mind your own business.
Francis: Here comes the 'fun police'.
At that they dropped the matter, besides sending me knowing smiles from across the dining table.
Were Yao and I really closer?
If so, what did that mean?
I wondered while eating, unaware of Yao's glance.
