Rei couldn't recall since when. However, after they lived under one roof, he started to feel weird. This day, for example. They got home from school. The 17th soul of Rei who was trapped in his 14th body started to feel something strange.
In evening, as usual, Rei unceremoniously entered Alden's room to do some home works. However the scene in front of him made his heart jump out of his throat. There, Alden, with only towel around his waist, was drying his hair.
He turned his head when hearing someone opened the door. Dripped of waters wetted his torso.
Quickly he closed the door with a bang.
His heart beats uncontrollably. His face became red.
'What the hell is this?'
Rei cupped his warm face.
'What the hell are you thinking? He is a minor for a God sake!'
He tried to calmed his heart, when suddenly the door behind him opened. Alden's head come out of the door's gap.
"What's wrong? Why don't you come in?"
Stiffly Rei turned his head. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Alden has worn his clothes.
"I.. I forgot something." Rei stammered.
A hint of blush still remained on his face.
Alden looked at Rein incredulously.
"So, you want to enter or not?"
"No.. no.. I'll just go back to my room"
After saying that, Rei hurriedly walked towards his room and slammed the door. He stood behind the door while pressing his thumping heart.
"It must be due to the raging hormone of a teenager. I need to find a girlfriend asap." Rei made conclusion.
In the morning, Rei started to make some distance with Alden. Rey was afraid of what he would do if he stayed near the boy.
"You want to go to the school now?"
Rei, who just stepped down the stairs, watched Rei who hurriedly ate his breakfast.
"I.. have something to do in class."
"It's still 6 A.M?"
Alden looked at the clock on the table near the stairs.
"And we are in the same class?" Alden added.
"Yes.. yes.. I know. I need to hurry." Then without saying goodbye, Rei ran towards the door, and walked away. His mother looked confused.
"That didn't answer my question." Alden glanced at Rei's mother who was putting some pancakes on the father's plate.
"What happened to him? Even though I'm happy that suddenly he becomes that diligent, but it still weird me out." The mother mumbled.
"Alden, come here. Since that son of mine has sett off to school, we could enjoy our breakfast peacefully."
Hearing it, Alden just laughed and walked towards the dining table.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
'Shit, I forgot that Alden sit right beside me!'
Alden casually strolled towards their table while holding a lunch box.
"You forgot yours."
Alden then took a sit beside Rei. Their desks was on the furthest back on the left. Rei Sat beside windows and Alden sat right next to him.
"Uhm.. thank you."
Rei took the box and put it in his table's drawer.
"What did you have to do that make you in hurry this morning?" Alden asked with his chin on his hand. He gazed at Rei. Rei felt awkward and throwed his face towards the window.
"I... Ugh.. I.." From the second level of their class, He saw the school's idol walking through the gate. Her long hair was tied in ponytail, added to her cuteness.
"I plan to make a declaration of love!" Rei made up his mind.
"To whom?" Alden looked behind Rei's shoulder.
"To our school's princess, Adira Malka."
Rei turned his head and saw Alden stared at him. Rei hurriedly bowed his head.
"I will tell him today."
"I see.. It's a luck that she has the same class as us, right?"
Alden glanced at the door.
"When do you plan to do it? Do you need any help?"
"After school. No.. I'll do it by myself."
"Okay then." Alden shrugged his shoulder and stared outside the window lazily.
"Good luck."
'What the hell! I'm diving further into my grave!' Rei cursing in his heart.
