World's Best Protagonist [BL]

Allen brushed shoulders with me when we walked out of the vortex. He was talking to me inside the vortex, but as soon as we landed on Earth, he ignored me again.

I sighed exasperatedly. It’s been going on for two days in a row now, ever since I told him I’d stay in the captain’s Sanctum.

I just watched him walk away after that. He didn’t even ask for counseling and just disappeared.

"Did something happen between you and Allen?"

I briefly glanced at Terrius, then shook my head once. I couldn’t tell him the reason. Allen was upset that I chose Claude? No, probably not the case. That’s what I wanted to believe, but...signs are telling me otherwise.

Why did Allen come to like me? Just because I saved his life? Isn’t that a shallow—

"You won’t believe what happened to Etienne yesterday, guys!" Noir came gossiping about Etienne’s day ago. "Someone proposed marriage to him just because he picked up their handkerchief!"

Isn’t he too excited to tell us about someone else’s love life? I’m glad Noir is back to his usual playful and annoying attitude, though.

"Isn’t it fascinating? Love can spring right before you when you least expect it."

I gaped at Terrius. After Noir’s weird behavior, is he next? Terrius adjusted his glasses, but he wore none, so he looked stupid. Must be a muscle reflex. Right. He did say he used to teach before.

Noir’s giggles caught me off guard. I turned to him and he was staring right through me. "Is that how love works? Someone who just picks up your things for you and bam! You’re in love already. What more if the person risks their life saving you?"
